This might be a dumb question, but do packs assign what cards you get in the pack when you receive the pack or the moment you open it?  I mainly ask because I've got a quest right now to receive a Classic pack for watching a friend win.  And there are several other quests to receive packs, plus this week's Brawl pack that we'll get starting tomorrow.  And on top of all that, they just announced a bunch of new Classic cards!

So this all boils down to: Will I have a chance at getting some of those new cards if I wait to open them after they are added to the game?  Or will I not have that chance as I received the packs prior to their inclusion?

What should I do? What should I add/remove to make Baku Highlander Warlock viable? Any inputs?

I look at classes like rogue, which apparently supposed to have 4 major weaknesses and then see how other classes apparent intended fantasy is supposed to have maybe 2. Plus, I had to laugh at what T5 thought warlock was supposed to be 'weak' against. Warlocks are perhaps the most versatile class in the game when it comes to being able to make an effective deck from almost every single playstyle (aggro, midrange/tempo, combo, control, OTK) in both wild and standard to many degrees.

What are your impressions about the attempt to define HS class identity?

Maybe it's a trivial request, and/or an error from my side, but the custom font colors I created doesn't save when I close the browser (Opera) or log-in/out. Is it possible to make it permanent? Or, if the error is from my side, how to solve this problem?

Title says it all. As example, within Druid section, I want to jump to 10th page. Rather than pressing right 9 times, why can't I type 10 to jump 10th page? If it's not possible to implement, it's alright.

So with new cards being introduced in the basic and classic set, lets discuss their impact on arena. Most of them seem at least playable, some of them quite strong. The fact that they will be in arena every rotation, since they are part of the core sets, is important as well.

Let me share my first thoughts after seeing these beauties :)

Rating (1=excellent, 2=good, 3=average, 4=poor, 5=terrible)

Plaguebringer (1): Plague Scientist was a pretty ok arena card, but never an exceptional one due to the combo activation. This will be much better, since it is a battlecry. Stats r not that bad considering the effect, but you will have to be at least on board to take advantage of it. It will definitely be a heavy snowball card, that is for sure.

Radiance (5): Priest got the shortest of sticks here. I dont think anything can save this card in arena, i would probably rather have Purify than this and Purify was removed from the drafting pool back in a day for how bad it was. Just no :D

Siegebreaker (1): This card will be pretty strong in warlock. It is not the best 7 mana taunt we've ever seen, but the demon tag and the potential Raid Leader ability for demons might more than make up for that. In general, warlock does not have consistent access to strong taunts and this is a good one. And the potential demon synergy that will always be there, since Classic set is a core set and does not rotate, needs to be kept in mind.

Gift of the Wild (1): This card will be Silver Sword level broken, mark my words. Yes, it is coslty AF and you probably dont want more than 1 (max 2) copies of it in your deck, but you want it in your deck. Everyfin is Awesome was being played for 7 mana back in a day and it was a powerful buff card. Druid with its swarmy style, where you want to be wide on the board most of the time, will love this card. Not only can it act as a finisher (expensive Savage Roar), but more importantly, it can be used pro-actively, buffing your minions out of AOE range or help them trade up, survive the trade and/or push some more face damage all in the same turn depending on how you need to distribute your attacks. This card will make an impact.

Righteousness (3): We knew this card was coming sooner or later, it was just logical. I personally was curious what cost would it end up having and i think 5 mana is fair overall. It might be hard(er) to get decent value out of it in arena, but it can be a powerful win more card. Free trades into enemy minions or a pro-active protection from aoes? Even if (when) it lands on small minions, it will be SO annoying to get rid of them, cause you will have to spend more resources than you would like to, leaving minions up for paladin is always asking for trouble.

Brightwing (2): Decent value generator. It is no Messenger Raven, but close enough.

High Inquisitor Whitemane (1): Another super powerful win more card. You kinda need to be on board to get full advantage of it and you need to be able to trade the minions off, which is not what you usually want to do, but you can get an insane swing turn with this, literally Kel'Thuzad for 1 less mana that will trigger once. Often times might just win you the game on the spot. The base stats are actually good enough to play this card naked, so literally any minion you get from the battlecry makes this insanely powerful.

Barrens Stablehand (3): Little bit too RNG for my taste, but looks like an ok card on average. I can already see the trollden King Krush lethals from nowhere.

SI:7 Infiltrator (3): Very good card. Nothing amazing, but very nice card to have in the mix. Decent stats and nice ability to squash those secret lovers.

Arcane Devourer (5): I dont think we will see this card very often in arena. Maybe when you get it via random effect and you are so far ahead (or so far behind) that you will eventually play this. But 8 mana is just damn too high to combo it with anything on the turn you play it, not to mention that spells are kinda sparse in arena overall.

So, there you have it! Obviously a big portion of power level of each card will also depend on the power bucket placement, if they are placed properly, you might not see many of them too often, cause other as powerul (or more) and/or more versatile cards might be picked over them, but most of the new cards seem to have a strong potential in arena. Only time will tell :)

Anyone who's looking for a collectible card game with very different mechanics from Hearthstone, tons of interaction between players (a lot like MtGA, but with better visuals), feel free to check out Eternal! It's available on Steam, android, and ios (I think).

It's my favorite game, has at least 6 different game modes, extremely friendly F2P system (they throw all kinds of free things at you for the first couple of weeks). Give it a try, if you like! If you use my code, you'll automatically be friended to me, and I can help you get started if I'm online.

[My code is all used up. If anyone else is enjoying Eternal, and they want me to put their friend code in here, I can do that.]

EDIT: For new players, here are some excellent ideas for budget decks:

1. Mono-Fire - https://eternaltitans.com/the-best-budget-deck-ever-and-some-advice-for-new-players/

2. 3 other budget decks (more expensive than #1) - https://eternaltitans.com/budget-deck-series-5-new-builds-with-dark-frontier/

Option #1 is by far the fastest way to just start hitting faces, and you can basically make that deck day 1, as mentioned in the video about it. If you go for something from option #2, there are 5 decks listed there; ignore deck 4 and deck 5 (deck 4 got nerfed after it was posted, and deck 5 is a more expensive version of option #1 above).

Just a quick question to raise to you all. 

I'm considering getting them for both the cards, and the gameplay, but are the cards worth it in wild? Or if so, should I only pick up some adventures and not others? Thanks in advance.

Oblivitron didn't summon my Clockwork Gnome, even though it's the only mech in my hand. Clockwork Gnome was created by Shifting Chameleon from the Pet Training hero power.

Hi!

I have really been struggling lately to find a fun (not necessarily tier 1-2) deck to play both in wild and standard.
Somehow I seem to miss the key cards in all the netdecks available and my deck-brewing skills are not that great to be honest. I have tried though.
Decks I have tried but can't play:

• Zoolock (Standard) - Don't have Magic Carpet
• Even Warlock (wild) - Don't have Mountain Giant
• Reno Lock (wild) - Don't have Kazakus
• Darkest Hour Warlock (wild) - This I can build a version of but it literally sucks (or maybe I do?)
• SN1P SN4P Warlock (wild) - This seemed fun (stole it from kripp) but got mostly beaten up by Rouges

Any help? Suggestions?

In case you missed it: https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/vs-data-reaper-report-133/

So Hunter confirmed as the most popular class in the meta, yet Rogue seems to be able to resist, despite the nerfs. But I guess Rogue players knew that already.

What do you think? Do you see more margin of development after the mid-term buffs? Or are we approaching staleness already, no matter what?

Thematically it pains me deepest  when I see Druids and hunters with mechs all over the place.

Where are my beast and nature loving classes? 

say my opponent has 5 minions on the board. and 7 cards in hand. Which minions will be destroyed?

Anyone else take guilty pleasure in watching (or making!) Animated Music Videos (AMVs)??  I thought so :D  Let's share!

Poll Question:  What are your favorite types of AMVs?  (can choose more than one)

• When you love the song!  Having the song sync well with the video is nice, but even if there's only a loose connection to the lyrics/meaning of the song you'll dig it because you're looking for particular tunes.
  
  
• When you love the clips!  Having the video include seminal moments from one show (e.g. specific fight scenes) or numerous shows (e.g. OP female characters) is essential and then you look for best musical fit, even if the lyrics only match up superficially if at all.
  
  
• When the editing is really awesome and they make shows seem even better than they actually are - music and shows included are not really important.
  
  
• Kinda related to the previous one but, when they tell a story through editing and the music plays secondary significance (sometimes called Animated Story Music Videos (ASMVs)).  Often(?) there's only a non-vocal (though inspiring) background track which is what I think separates it from the previous jawn.
  
  
• When the clips capture a deeper meaning or a truer sentiment of the song than the lyrics alone - there's a synergy (i.e. interaction) between music, clips, and editing.

I'm sure there are tons of other reasons so please share yours below!  And post any fun stories such as shows you started watching because of an AMV or songs you became a fan of because of an AMV :)

And of course, please share your favorite examples!!

I'm thinking about buying one of the sales sets. Talk me into one or out of it.

ARGUMENT FOR ROS/RASTAKHAN BUNDLE

PRO: I am missing a bit on legendaries from Rastakhan. As for Shadows, I'd love to get Chef Nomi or Heistbaron Togwaggle. (Fel Lord B would be cool if the mechanic could be viable; I love him in single-player Heist).

CON: $20 for 800 dust, a whatever card back and meh hero art at the worst.

Also, I had pretty good luck with the RoS set in landing key legendaries, plus the HOF dust helped. And I received three legenderies in the last six Rastakhan packs I opened (one golden). Don't think the Pack Gods are that generous still.

WILD SALE ARGUMENT

PRO: The only real legendary I'd be pursuing is Mal'Ganis. 

Even if I don't hit it, and if I had the worst luck, 56x40 = 2,240 dust. Enough for maybe crafting Mal'Ganis, something in standard, or better yet, the next expansion. I also don't have much of GvG and The Grand Tournament.

CON: I'm playing Big Priest or anti-BP warlock decks (which would be my main gig if I didn't run into aggro and hunters they do poorly against). And I'd hate to reacquire some crap legendaries or epics I dusted.

THE NEXT EXPANSION ARGUMENT

PRO: They had a $10 or $20 sale for extra cards if I recall from RoS. More new cards and chances for whatever spiffy legendaries and epics.

CON: One big thing is I hate aggro. If the next expansion feels like it's going more for aggro and sticky minions, I'm leaning towards just playing Heist for the year. Feel like vomiting in boredom with hunters, tree druids and murloc shaman as opponents. (I like control v. OTK or another control myself).

A really nice feature to have is to hide a specific deck from search results.

Let's say I have a specific deck that I like, dislike, it's a meme-deck or whatever. I don't wan't it to show up in my search anymore. And why would I want it? I have already decided that this deck in particular is ether IN my radad or OUT of my radar.

As a database designer this feature would not only bring pleasure to users (like me), but with a filter and a UNIQUE INDEX you would save some resources as well. It could easily be implemented against a flag in user choice.

So today I was doing the random deckbuilding challenge and I ended up landing on Exotic Mountseller. While yes, I ended up building a deck that included two copies of her, I never really felt like the card did anything too useful in it.

Has anyone found her a home anywhere?

For those out of the loop, Hearthpwn was re-acquisitioned by a group called Magic Find. They claim to keep the site running the same way it did before and "provide only the best that we can offer". According to my knowledge, Flux was offered a role in the reconstruction of the website, and declined the offer. The most common response to this is "FUCK YEAH! I love this site, thanks for keeping it running!", followed by "We had it great back then, now it's controlled by people we don't know. I'm off to Out Of Cards".

In my opinion, I'd probably use both. I too have a special attachment towards the old Hearthpwn crew, and going back to Hearthpwn without then is like a Hearthstone without Ben Brode. However, twice the websites means twice the forum posts, twice the decklist sharing, twice the trolling and twice the discussion. I don't know, I just wanted to get other peoples' opinions about this. Please don't take this as an aggression, I am not disapproving of Magic Find or their actions in any way; on the contrary I think it's great that they bite the bullet and keep Hearthpwn running. I just don't have anybody in my friends circle that has any interest in Hearthstone or it's forums.
