I have 2 EVIL Cable Rat cards in my arena deck. Neither is triggering a lackey when I play the card. Wish I'd known before making the deck!

With the patch it appears that all heroes have "complete crowns" for all wings of Dalaran Heist even though I haven't completed runs with them. I know there are some bugs with today's patch.  I know its a super small bug, but has Blizzard mentioned it yet?

I'm sure you're working on it , just wanting to know the ETA.

thanks

I would appreciate if the deckbuilder automatically limited the copies of cards in a deck to 2, or 1 if a legendary, and wouldnt add more cards past 30 to a deck. I really dont want to have to go through every decklist I make to find out which cards I clicked one too many times.

We used to have this, right? 

Would be nice to see it again

Hey everyone,

first of all... thank you for your great work over the years and for continuing the support with "Out Of Cards"!

My question: Is there any chance that we get an android/ ios app for OOC in the future?

I guess you have tools to check how many people visit your site via mobile devices and in the long run an app can generate new audience.

Keep up the amazing work!

Seriously though, I was wondering if anyone has tried anything new with token druid yet. Like maybe something mech focused that uses Snippy. I haven't had a chance so far, but if anyone else has tried, I'd love to hear your thoughts. That's all!

juat testing

Context - I was playing token druid, opponent was on bomb warrior. I was rank 6, 5 stars; he was rank 5.

On turn 2, I went face instead of trading with his Loot Hoarder, allowing him a free trade with my Dire Wolf Alpha. I'm fully aware that this looks like a mistake, but against a warrior, it's extremely important to get in as much damage as possible as early as possible with token druid, due to board wipe potentials. So I know it looks foolish, but I do it anyways. He emotes, "That was a mistake." I think I muted him.

I do, in fact win the game. Apparently he didn't have board wipes. I think I emoted "well played," because I always do that. To me, it's meant to be a polite way to end a game. Am I crazy to think it's polite to end a game with "well played"? Should I just never emote? Anyways, here's what happened after the game. The filtered words are f-bombs. (Side note: I'm married and have two children.)

Edit: Apparently I am inept at using the image insertion feature. Basically he screamed at me for emoting and then unfriended. I friended him again to inform him he did first, and he screamed some more. Here's the image link: Screen Capture of the comments

Is the update for rise of the mech on mobile live already? So much talk and hype on Sn1p-Sn4p, i can't wait.

Maybe once you do this, you take away the option to post it publicly, but you can download the recipe for yourself? I think it'd be cool if I could make "craftable" deck recipes for my custom expansions. Maybe a little extra, but it's something that I'd love to do.

hello,

so me and my brother recently played some mtg together and we ran into a disagreement. i had swung at him for 60 with a 20/20 kalonian hydra https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=420771 and a 40/40 primordial hydra https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=253670 . he then proceeded to play polymorphist's jest https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=433022. his thought process was that because my hydras lose all abilities. that would include 1/1 counters. my thought process was that they wouldn't lose the 1/1 counters as counters are not an ability but the hydras would lose trample as those were abilities. 

my brother decided to find what he could about rulings on jest and found this passage "Polymorphist’s Jest overwrites all previous effects that set the creatures’ base power and toughness to specific values. Any power- or toughness-setting effects that start to apply after Polymorphist’s Jest resolves will overwrite this effect.". he took that to mean that the counters wouldn't affect the hydras again until the turn was over. i went to the same rules site (the one i shared) and found this passage "Effects that modify a creature’s power and/or toughness, such as the effect of Titanic Growth, will apply to the creatures no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for any counters that change their power and/or toughness and effects that switch power and toughness.". to me, that says the counters are still there AND still active but he read it to mean that the counters wouldn't work.

is there someone that can help me find an official ruling from a tournament or maybe some mtg arena gameplay with this interaction or has a ruling from an official? we even had my brother ask his friends (some of whom have  played since mtg started) and they were split on the issue.

Another site update has gone out. It focuses on the card listings and forum editor.

New Features

• Card Listings Redone
  • Like our deck listings, you can now sort columns on the card listing page.
  • The class filter now has a nice image interface and you can select multiple classes to sort by.
  • Mobile users will be able to properly make use of the filters.
  • Dev Note: I know people would like a "visual" way to view the card database. We're going to work on making that a reality.
• Forum Editor
  • Quotes are now styled in the editor.
  • Links are now styled in the editor.
  • New Colors!
    • Colors have been added to the text color picker for all the Hearthstone rarities.
    • We've also now got colors for Attack, Health, and Mana that match those used on the site.
  • Floats can now be usable in the editor. Useful for images that are right aligned. Sorry, Chimera!

Changes

• Signatures on the forums now have a darker border to separate them from the post content itself.
• Deckstring button on deck pages is now a different color than the other buttons to find it easier.
• Deckstring button on deck pages now states it is for "Deck Code" and not "Deck String" to be friendlier.
• Hearthstone Patches has been added to the Guides navigation. Thanks to the team for helping update all the old patch notes!
• Member profile deck pages now use the new, sortable deck listing page table.

Bug Fixes

• Patches in the deck page patch filter now sort correctly. (Newest first)
• Members with no last active date no longer appear in the member list.
• Entering a deck string where another website has encoded a card as using the internal cardid of 0 now ignore that non-existant card.
  • I know this was an issue for people trying to import SN1P-SN4P decks from HearthPwn before it was correctly flagged. Its a good long-term change to make because of card reveal periods.

Hi! I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but from mobile I can't leave a comment, tried with 2 smartphone in 2 articles but nothing, when clicking "leave a comment" nothing is happening

Just now my opponent played Tuskarr Totemic, and he did not get a token. and another game today, my opponent played EVIL Cable Rat and did not get a lackey. has anyone else noticed these missing tokens? or have I gained some super powers which stops my opponents from getting tokens?

I think this mage deck is a good enough tier 2 deck. The winrate i have with this deck until now is 7-1. It allows you to swing the game tide probably every time on turn 6 or 7, sometimes even turn 5. It has good control and grinding tools against aggro decks in wild. Not sure about the matchup with big priest, but sylvanas will help you win these games. The deck has a lot of healing, freezing, armor gain tools which allow you to get in turn 5 usually without a problem.  After the buffs today, you could also add Luna's Pocket Galaxy for extra spice and maybe change the deck a little. As many conjure's calling decks this allows for many manual modifications if you want. Check it out and i'm open to any ideas. Deck ID Not Found

I noticed quite a few people are looking forward to try and make Pogo-Hopper work as soon as the buffs go live, so I created this thread to discuss our ideas for this deck. Here's my take on it:

What do you think? More draw, more taunt, more heal?

Hey all, I'm in the middle of brainstorming an idea for a new deck, specifically for the Buffs that are dropping today. I love the idea of a Pogo Hopper Deck, but I don't know if there's enough card that synergize with it to build a whole deck around it. I've got the ground work created, but I'm open to any/all suggestions! Thank you!

Alright so today I felt like playing some bomb warrior games. Immediately I got punished because in about 90 minutes I only managed to play three games as two of them were mirror matchups. Oh well, that's what I get for playing a slow deck.

Anyway, long story short, I lost both those mirrors. My question is: what game plan should one approach in the bomb warrior mirror match?

My initial thought was to try and win the fatigue game. Bomb warrior isn't an aggressive deck and has a ton of removal so trying to outrush each other seems like a waste. My gameplan was to hard mulligan for Dr. Boom, Mad Genius and to not play a single draw card. My opponents, on the other hand, hastily played all their Acolyte of Pain and Shield Block. In the end both times their Elysiana was better than mine and despite me being 4-5 cards ahead in fatigue I lost.

So, how should one approach the bomb warrior mirror? Try to rush them down and stuff their deck with bombs ASAP, or take it slow and wait for fatigue? 

About half a year ago I noticed that was often angry or annoyed after jamming a couple of games of Hearthstone. After thinking about for a while I concluded that is was not because of meta or the deck I was playing, since it happened to me even in brawls and when I switched to a different deck. Since then I started to organize my play sessions in the following way: Set a number of games I want to win (usually 1-3} and play until I hit it.

Obviously, it is not a perfect system since you often have limited time to play HS (on train etc.) and sometimes you just want to win a brawl, finish a quest, reach a certain rank and the more you lose the longer it takes.

But in general, I found out that trying to win a set number of games I usually ended after resolving a huge Tess, getting good RNG or simply playing a clean and even game against my opponent. My play session even lasted less time since I just stopped after reaching the set number. Later I even started to listen to music while playing and found out that even the losses were enjoyable since they meant I could play another game.

Anyone else does something similar to combat tilting or has a specific way in which they organize they play sessions?

After the rotation hits, combo will be pretty much dead. We already had Mojomaster Zihi from RR, but RoS has gone way farther and brought us Hecklebot, Unseen Saboteur and Duel!. That way you can play up to 5 disruptor cards in your decks (7 if you're playing paladin) which target mana gain, minions and spells. And we haven't even seen half of RoS yet.

Edit: plus Demonic Project for warlock.

I strongly feel like there probably won't be a T1 combo deck around for quite some time.

Greetings everyone I think most of you are aware how Artifact has become a meme at this point but many of us were at least interested in the game before and a little after its release. I can say I have played card games quite a bit for over 15 years of life; around half of my life. This was maybe the first card game that was heavily hyped that I knew was going to fail within 3 days of playing the game. After playing all the modes and paying close attention to card design I quickly realized that this game was going to be a disaster and I should sell my cards.

Within the first 3 days I sold most of my expensive cards I got from my packs and made my money back and more. I happened to open Axe and a few others. People were thinking it was going to be the new biggest thing and playing the market. With my card game experience I knew it was going to fail flat on the floor. Many people think it failed because Valve got greedy and charged 20 dollars and having no way to earn more packs in game unless you pay real money. But this is far from the truth and had nothing to do with why it failed.

1. People complain about RNG in Hearthstone but Artifact has the most RNG than any card game I have ever experienced. The direction your minions are attacking, the boards your minions show up on, the items listed in the store. I knew right away this was a huge problem in its design.

2. The 3 board system is a failure. The 3 boards add NOTHING to the gameplay value and is simply bloat to the game. Most games have so much RNG that 2 boards become almost irreverent. RNG wins you one board, RNG screws you one board, and you only really invest in 1 board. Majority of your resources and time is mostly invested in 1 board while another board maybe gets 1 or 2 spells played on it per game. This is bloat of the worst kind and it doesn't make a better experience for anyone.

3. The game has the most simple card design every created. Lets take a game like Magic the Gathering, 1 color is able to do the job of many roles. For example RED is not simply aggro but could have great control cards or card advantage in different forms of play. Artifact is so stupidly simple every color basically has 1 mechanic. If you want this mechanic you have to play its color. If you want to generate lots of gold you need to play black, if you want to control you need to play Blue, with you want strong heroes you need to play Red etc.

4. This game was HEAVILY advertised for draft and not competitive constructed play. There isn't even a ladder on release. The problem with this is DRAFTING IS HORRIBLE due to the 2nd reason. The game is so simple and has such simple mechanics you don't draft for deck synergy. Where as Hearthstone Arena synergy is extremely important this game has no synergy of any kind. If you see a great card YOU PICK IT. If you see an AXE you pick it 100% of the time period.  This is the core reason the game failed. It's main advertised mode has maybe the worst drafting I have ever seen.

Please contribute your ideas on your experience with Artifact.

So far 2-0 with it in casual play.

So much fun actually making a deck and then playing it. The idea is to ramp as much as possible and then play your big minions. When your graveyard has a few dead key minions you can play:

1 Bond of Revival (WAR) 80

1 Muldrotha, the Gravetide (DAR) 199

We will see how it goes. Unsure if I can keep up against aggro but its still fun even if I loose.

This guy https://outof.cards/members/pcjco posted over 100 decks on ONE DAY and all of them DO NOT HAVE A F***ING GUIDE.

I hated this so much on hearthpwn, just spamming decks and the endless number of dupe decks without any description.

PLEASE prevent this early enough, it's easy to identify 100% identical decks. Stop the dupe decks and remove decks that have no description / guide.

Quality > Quantity

Edit: Just saw that the decks this guy posted are deck recipes, but still, the message keeps the same.
No description is a no go, maybe just collect them in a single forums post.

Here is another guy https://outof.cards/members/octrange with 12 decks on the same day. No descriptions, no guides. Just delete them, please.

You can see how the database is already blown up with such spam:

Decks with guides: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/?has_guide=2 - 12 pages

Decks with no guides https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/?page=31&has_guide=3 - 31 pages

I just logged in on EU to get my daily, and I had a full quest log. I'm almost certain I was up to date with my log, and that I just got 3 quests at once today. 

Can anyone confirm/deny this, please?
