I'm a wild main, but frequently watch various favorite streamers play in wild, watch tournaments, and hear about other people's experiences. While keeping cards around for *only* 2 years can be good to end the burnout of things like DKs, Tunnel Trogg, Defile, Reno, Aluneth and the like over the years it does make it so that the pool of cards is kept comparatively small, and in that small card pool random effects become less random with mechanics like discover or CCing a minion that barely has any minions in that mana slot.

For example, pretty much every standard player is familiar with the meme of warriors discovering their 7th Omega Devastator or 5th Dyn-o-Matic. Other players have listed mages' ability to very consistently spawn big taunts with almost every CC. Even going back further in the life of standard HS when Ice Block was not HoFed yet it was very common for mages to discover a 'random' 3rd or even 4th Ice Block because again the standard spell pool was so small.

So back to the title, do you feel standard's card pool size does it more harm than good? If you feel it does harm to the format how would you change it?

I'm curious how much you have/will try to save up for gold with the new expansion, especially now that the adventure is bought with gold.

Personally I'm now at 6350 gold (around 12k dust) and hope to have around 7500 gold when expansion hits. Because I'll most likely buy the expansion that leaves me at just under 50 packs. 

So I probably will just settle with 2/3 legendaries and the need to craft a lot of epics. 

How are you doing?

(Dated 7/28/19: Last Revealed card was Dark Pharaoh Tekahn)

Let me begin by saying, that this card is a CUSTOM CARD, not an Officially Printed Hearthstone card! I want to make that clear because currently we are in the Saviors of Uldum Card Reveal Season and I don't want people to get angry because they thought this was a real card.

Now that I got that out of the way, GREETINGS My name is CovenantKevlar, (You can call me Kev) I'm a real big fan of Hearthstone and I've been playing since Curse of Naxxramus, I've always wanted to make very own Custom card but never had the courage to do so until now. Currently we are in the middle of the card reveal Season for Saviors of Uldum and I had an idea for what could be (or could've been) a card for the set. One of my favorite classes is Warlock and currently there has not been a Warlock Lackey Generator revealed. (especially when Dark Pharaoh Tekahn just revealed a few days ago)  So I theorized one!

I wanted the Lackey Generation for warlock to come with a cost similar to how EVIL Genius makes Lackeys, a price for Power! I choose to focus on the Discarding mechanic because currently in the Standard rotation discard warlock is in a weak position, It always sucks to discard cards you wanted to play  so I wanted to make a card that generated you value whenever you discarded cards. In terms of mechanics it would work exactly like Malchezaar's Imp This is my First Custom card submission so let me know what you think of it! If you think that the card is too strong or too weak I want to know, Your opinion will help shape other Custom cards I might make in the future.

Thanks

I don't want this to just be another Big Priest bitching thread. Complaining about Big Priest has done nothing to make Blizzard understand what the problem is. 

Instead, I want to hear from people who play Big Priest, and hear why they enjoy playing it.

Let me explain:

In the recent Developers AMA. This was said by Iksar about Big Priest:

"Statistically speaking, Big Priest is pretty average. However, it's one of the most played decks. One of the easiest explanations for this is that players like playing the deck."

I personally consider this statement to be completely out of touch with the community. From everything I've ever seen in discussions with Big Priest, even Priest players hate the deck. 

So I want anyone who plays Big Priest, to just post why they play it. I want to get an idea if Blizzard is correct in saying that players like playing it, or if there are other reasons that Blizz is oblivious to for why people play it.

Hello everybody, I just returned home after my summer holydays (3 weeks on the beautyfull shores of Adriatic Sea, near the city of Ascoli).

I write not only to justify why I didn't post anything in 3 weeks, but also to say that I had a problem with my smartphone and my tablet: I was able to read outofcards, to write under the comments, but apparently when I used the button to publish my post nothing happened.

Has anyone else had this problem, or it was just mine?

Both are android based and I use a browser based on mobile firefox.

I recall the designers mentioning that new Lackeys would be introduced in the sets following RoS, but so far we haven't seen any. The five lackeys we have are each themed after one of the five ringleaders of the EVIL gang (Witchy = Hagatha, Goblin = Dr. Boom, Kobold = Togwaggle, Faceless = Lazul, Ethereal = Rafaam), which raises the question whether we'll see a full cycle of new lackeys, or only one (or two, or...), not to mention what sort of flavour this new lackey will have.

Personally I think we'll probably see only one new lackey, and it's likely going to be some denizen of Uldum that has sided with EVIL. Mummy Lackey maybe? Regarding the card's battlecry, I think the most obvious is "give a minion reborn".

I haven't done an Arena run in some time, as I'd been tryharding on Ranked and messing around with the Solo content. I figured I'd give it a go with the new card sets, and had a blast going up 2-0 to start.

The odd reaction? "Where's my loot card?" Not a suggestion or anything, just a funny thought that went through my head. Wondering if anyone else had such a thought.

So after being disgusted by another hunter Venomizer+Missile Launcher I came up with the idea of above combo which should essentially give me the same thing for a whopping 10 mana. Any1 tried this? 

And how do i change the title of a thread I created? Now it looks horrible!

And I want to see his face when I counter his combo by my own combo.

Has anyone else gotten matched against the warrior mercenaries deck (I forget the number) that has 4 copies of Patches the Pirate in it? I won two games with my initial big druid deck, then two games a dragon paladin deck. My first match against the warrior deck saw me losing on turn 5. Then I beat a hapless Warlock and felt so dirty that I decided to throw my next game to get that deck out of the contest. Unfortunately it seems to have spread faster than Hakkar, the Soulflayer's plague and it was the next four decks I played against. I think I'm done with this brawl.

p.s. I hope I did the card linking thing right. If this shows any edits it was to fix that.

So the hunter, a class that used to be limited to SMOrc-ing before turn 7 slowly got sweet cards that allows a much slower play. Coming up is Anti-combo Hunter which I really want to try out..

My question is what survival(Heal)/control tools are the most efficient, including wild, off course.

Hey All!

Recently we got to enjoy The dungeon run-like Tavern Brawl with a golden copy of Recurring Villain, Bronze Herald and Rafaam's Scheme as a reward. After receiving these rewards I looked them up in my collection and was surprised to I see I got two golden copies of each. As I mostly play Arena anyway I dusted the non-golden copies of these cards and kept the golden versions. 

Just now I opened a pack with a Rafaam's Scheme in it and was about to dust it, but then I noticed that the second copy of the golden version is gone. Same thing happened with the other two cards. I only own a golden version of these two cards now.

Is it just me hallucinating or did anyone else had a similar experience?

Plaguebringer, the card which replaced Vanish in the basic set, is in my opinion a very poorly designed card. Constantly with their talk about class identity, Blizzard talks about how the Basic and Classic sets should give new players a good example of what a class does and what it's strengths and weaknesses are in a fairly simple manner. The Basic set especially should be very easy to understand, since those are the first cards a new player will have access to. So why, then, does Plaguebringer make use of the Poisonous keyword when no other card in the Basic set mentions it? This would lead new players to believe that Rogues are good at abusing Poisonous minions, which hasn't proven to be the case. They only barely have the most Poisonous minions/generators of all classes (Rogue has 7, Hunter has 6, Druid has 5) and as far as I know, only one of which (Envenom Weapon) has seen any serious competitive play in Kingsbane Rogue. I would be fine if this card we're in the Classic set, but I think it's a very poor design for a Basic card.

I think it would be pretty neato if we had a section of this site dedicated not only to cards that have had nerfs/buffs, but cards that we know the early designs of to show what the process of making a card looks like.

Most of the time we only see the end result of a card and not how many/what kind of iterations it went through.

This is a feature that would be interesting to have, but in all honesty is probably near the bottom of the list but hey, no rush.

P.S.FixTheNoSpaceIssuePls.

Hi,

First - loving the new site.  You have done a great job since breaking off from *the site that shall not be named* :-).

I like that there is a Pro Decks list on the home page, would it be possible to make it a link that goes to a list of all pro decks on the site?  Also maybe the same for the Hot Standard and Hot Wild Decks as well?

Question - if I wanted to find all pro deck lists would I just select tournament decks on the deck page?

Thanks!

There's a simple 2-turn combo in wild that gets you 2.5k armor.

1) You have in your hand the following: Thaurissan, Linecracker, 2x Bees and 2x Earthen Scales (1 will do too).

2) Play Thaurissan

3) Next turn gain 2563 or 1281 armor by playing Bees into your Linecracker twice followed by Earthen Scales

Knowing blizzard it wouldn't be a surprise this combo would go under their radar as they have already stated that bees works with overkill on own board.

So do they nerf:

A) Before the launch

B) In week or two which would be fair

C) In blizzard way in 2 months

D) Never at all

First I was on the board that they have to nerf it but I quess this is also a OTK even though it's in my opinion fairly easy to pull off against any slower decks. Druid also has quite good survival tools in Wild so they might survive the aggro in good enough percent until they draw the combo.

The deck would even be immune to fatigue with jade idol if some hard control decks would try to outlast it.

Just out of interest, are entries 1 per IP address?

Seems a lot of user accounts that have posted were created in the last 24 hours, and though of course many may be legitimate, and new users of the site (which is great), I do wonder if some are just creating multiple accounts for a higher chance of winning.

Perhaps I'm just being overly suspicious :)  I've never tried to create multiple accounts here of course so for all I know it's one per IP address anyway.

If nothing else, it's great that giveaways like this are potentially attracting new blood to the site.

Hello there!

Deck titles can feel very short, and sometimes I wish I had slightly more info about a decklist before having to click on its link to go to its page.

For example, I am searching for a mech paladin deck, but 4 of them exists on the deck searcher. Having to check them one by one can be a bit annoying, and sometimes I will just pick the first one that comes.

My idea is that every deck comes with a little "Summary" box, in which the author can write a few lines that will be display when someone hover its deck's name.

When I'm looking for a mech paladin deck, this time, two of them won't have registered a Summary, one will display "This version is much more aggressive than usual and features Mecharoo", and the last one "This deck aims to win against warrior, there is fewer mechs and a single copy of mechano-egg."

What are your thoughts?
