How's everyone spending their last few games before RoS is live, if you are playing at all? I've been having fun with OTK priest thanks to the early legendary and it's pretty fun to set up a board of archmages to cast a barrage of Mind Blasts. IveI got the list i am using, and an idea of how i may attempt to play it in the new standard year.

Rise of Shadows is Hearthstone's eleventh expansion and is set to release on April 9, 2019.

New Keyword: Twinspell - You get a second copy of the spell (without the Twinspell keyword).
Schemes - Spells that get more powerful the longer you hold them in your hand.
Lackeys - These are 1/1 tokens created by other cards that have a variety of Battlecry abilities, such as dealing damage, giving other minions Attack/Health bonuses, or summoning new minions. More will be introduced throughout the year.
Old Mechanics: Look for some old mechanics that haven't been used in awhile to make a resurgence throughout the year.  We'll definitely be seeing the "Forbidden" mechanic from Whispers of the Old Gods where you are required to spend all of your mana to play the card (Forbidden: Ancient, Flame, Shaping, Ritual, and Healing).
Arena: The cardpool availability will change to include the following sets: Basic, Classic, Naxxramas, Whispers of the Old Gods, Goblins VS Gnomes, The Witchwood, and Rise of Shadows.
Pre-Order: $50 and $80 options will be available for pre-order and both come with the new card back "The Jewel of Lazul" shown below.

This thread is dedicated to discussing the impact of these cards on the ARENA environment.

I've been running this deck for many expansions and tweaking it as new cards become available.  Still very much a work in progress but I'm liking several of the new cards but will have to see the rest of the new expansion set and test drive it some before settling on the deck list.  Here's what I've got so far:

https://hearthstation.com/decks/473-reno-nzoth-priest

Hello everyone! grinded golden Hunter previous patch, so im looking forward RoS.
Hey players! what are you favourite class in game (rogue) and what class will be THE META (on your predictions) ?

ENJOY HEARTHSTONE! and dond tilt! :)

Another day, another round of updates.

Changes

• Deck Listing
  • Score and dust columns are now colored based on their content.
  • Score column has been relocated. It wanted to be closer to the deck name.
  • Added a new filter for "has guide". Select yes if you only want to see decks that have guide content.
    • Developer Note: I would like to eventually have this allow you to look for more detailed guides as well.
  • Implemented a proper  hot algorithm for decks.
    • Developer Note: The hot algorithm uses votes, guide content, and age of a deck to determine how "hot" it is. It is slightly beneficial to write a guide if you want your deck to climb above others. Scores are not updated instantly but rather periodically (every hour currently). Over time this will be reevaluated and I'm sure we'll make it even better to make sure the best deck content is showcased.
• Deckbuilder
  • Added mana curve!
    • Developer Note: Next we'll have this on decks.
• The front page pro decks widget will now always show decks in it.

Bug Fixes

• Reduced the card size in our expansion guides. This was incorrectly increased in a previous "feature" change.

I like to make a lot of decklists prior to new expansions, and I would appreciate the ability to sort them by class, date created, date last edited, etc., similar to how it works on Hearthpwn. As it is right now, it kinda bothers me that it's apparently sorted by a field that isn't visible on the profile page, making it appear to be a random order.

I am currently using my battle.net username, since I didn't have a readily available other idea for one. I have been considering changing my username across the board but haven't figured out a better idea. In investigating this, I  noticed there isn't an option to change usernames, something I think would be beneficial to this site.

I know that while deckbuilding, we can filter specific targets to look for what we want. It would be great if we can use these filters after a deck is published, too. If I wasn't clear enough, here's the example: I made an Elemental deck and I want to highlight Elemental minions on this page, not on Deckbuilder page. Like, when I choose Tribe as Elemental on this page (and not on Deckbuilder page), Hearthstation should highlight the Elementals here to see which Elementals I added for convenience. As color, maybe light orange would be great, just like on Hearthpwn.

Come to think of filters, while deckbuilding, I noticed there is no "in-between" or "comparison" filters. As example, I want to filter the attack of minions between 1 and 3. In Hearthstone, it's done with "attack:1-3" (without quotes), but not here. Please, moderators and administrators, implement both these options which would help us a lot.

Sure, it's not the biggest deal, but if this site is bringing people from HeartPwn, can we get our accounts copied or transfered? Would be really cool. 

Just wondering how everybody else's fireside pack openings have gone so far. Here it was outta 131

Kalecgos, Barista Lynchen, Archivist Elysiana, Chef Nomi, Keeper Stalladris, Scargil  

24 epics total, 21 golden cards total.

I am wondering what is the best move to have when a new expansion is coming out.

I've heard that 135 cards are going to be added to the game, and other card are moving to the wild side.

The rumors has it that  players in this transition should wait and buy the new card expansion when they are out. 

My question is it wise to rush and start buying packs, or shall we wait and see which way the meta will shift.

The new Patch is now live on PC - have fun using the new legendary card! Share your ideas and decks you built with him

I have an arena run going right now, and when I started the game after downloading the patch, it told me "your arena run will expire soon!". and I am guessing that means that when the expansion hits, it will refund my run, and give me the rewards. I am not %100 sure of this, but I am guessing that it would be safe to start an arena run and then continue it to 2 loses.

So, I purchased both preorder bundles and intend to drop all my gold and dust on packs/cards and will likely have a near complete collection on Day 1 (barring a few obscure epics). I’m not saying this to brag, but rather to extend an offer:

If anyone wants to test decks on release day, especially those who don’t have the means of getting the cards you want to test on day 1, add me and send me your theorycraft deck codes via HS and I can try to build them. Once they’re made, I can let you borrow the decks in friendly play. 

My HS name is: ElCoche#1795

I’ll likely get on after work, so about 4:30ish EST
