Since we've pushed out a few updates since this was last updated, I'm going to include some additional changes just so everyone is aware of them.

New Features

Hearthstone

• Card pages now support full art.
  • It is going to take some time to get all of Hearthstone's full art into our database, but it will come with time. 
  • We can also create and showcase wallpapers on card pages!

Runeterra

• The collection manager has arrived! See our dedicated announcement post.

Changes

Hearthstone

• You can now filter by Artist on the card listing.
• Card pages now display their artist when we have full art available.
  • If we have a link to the Artist's website, we've included it here.

Runeterra

• Deck listing now defaults to the hottest decks on the site.
  • This should have been changed a very, very long time ago. Apologies!
• Deck widgets in news articles and on the portal now display their Shards cost.
• Ruenterra Expansions page overhauled to use images like our Hearthstone one.

General

• Added a link to our Merch store on the navigation.
• Avatars now get resized to a maximum of 180px by 180px.
  • If your avatar isn't a square, it's going to be forced into being one.
  • Unfortunately, we no longer support animated gif avatars because of this. They may make a return in the future.
• Listings on the site now tell you how many results were returned.
  • Admittedly, this needs to look a little bit better since its very plain, but its functional!
• Made an update to our RSS feeds to assist readers in finding our thumbnail images.

Bug Fixes

Hearthstone

• Fixed an issue with collection calculations displaying too many missing stars on deck pages.
• Removed note about how the collection manager can't be automated and replaced it with a link to the HDT plugin.
• Fixed a missing Hearthstone breadcrumb on Tavern Brawl pages.
• Fixed collections not correctly syncing. (This has been fixed for over 2 weeks)

General

• Fixed an issue where some users were getting Premium access without paying for it.
• Polls no longer generate client-side errors if you are not logged in.
• Achievement triggers no longer generate client-side errors if you are not logged in.

Regrets

Runeterra

• We didn't get out voting and discussion site rewards for the Call of the Mountain reveal season.
  • There was a bit too much going on to get this out. Our site migration took much longer than originally expected which pushed this back until the point it no longer really matters.
  • Thanks to everyone who is participating anyway!

Playing Kingsbane Rogue I discovered that Secret Passage will cause Shadow Reflection from Valeera the Hollow to not leave your hand at the end of your turn. Furthermore the Shadow Reflections becomes a reflection of Secret Passage. I think it is because the Shadow Reflection returns from the ‘passage’ after your turn ends so the hero power doesn’t remove it at the end of your turn.

This gives you an extra shadow reflection next turn OR infinite secret passages (one every turn if Its the first card you play each turn).

No idea if this is of any use in some weird combo deck? Probably not but it’s a weird interaction anyway

I'm suggesting the following changes to a few cards from this year, for classes that in my opinion could use a little help.

The aim of these buffs is to at least provide those classes with stronger options to consolidate some "non-oppressive" archetypes.

Do you think some other cards should be buffed ? Or do you think these buffs are exagerated ?

HUNTER CORE SET REVAMP

Introduction

Neoguli's post kickstarted me to finish my own

After Priest and Shaman, it is Hunter's turn to have its core sets revised. I have all classes ready. However, neoguli already dealt with Warlock, Druid, Rogue, Warrior, and Paladin. For the moment, I will focus on classes that weren't modified yet.

In terms of core set quality, Hunter is above average, although its sets aren't as good as Mage's or Rogue's. The main issue with Hunter's current set is its one-dimensionality. Up to 2017, Hunter was a one-dimensional class with an extremely linear gameplay. It had only one viable archetype (at best), oscillating between face and midrange.

After 2017, internal diversity increased: Egg, Cube, No-minion, Big, etc... Deathstalker Rexxar enabled late-game-oriented Hunter archetypes. Big Beast synergies enabled non-linear playstyles. One major constraint, as Blizz themselves noticed, is Hunter's lack of card draw. Lack of card draw intrinsically limits a class' design space. However Blizz developed workarounds such as card generation (Rhok'delar)or costly but powerful tutoring ([Hearthstone Card (Scavenger Ingenuity) Not Found], Ursatron) as opposed to general card draw, or "Recruit" mechanics.

Directions

The new core sets

Early burn has definitely been  nerfed but Yasuo / Swain combo just keeps popping up it’s like every 3rd match. Now I only see Karma every 15 games or so. What are people using to deal with them? Maybe once the new cards drop they will be easier to deal with. 
I dropped a ruination to wipe the broad after he was out of mana next turn dropped Hec who immediately got stunned. And then he summoned Legion General.

 Nox just feels very strong.

If you would've told me a year ago that I would be hitting Legend I would have doubted you. I've never played to reach legend until this month, and the reason why? I was having fun.

I casually climbed the Wild ladder using Quest Mage up until Diamond 6-7, then Scholomance Academy came out and I went ALL the way back to Diamond 10. Then I stumbled across Discard Warlock which took me to Diamond 3, then loss after loss to a different kind of Warlock got my attention. The new, big, and scary Pain Warlock took me to Legend and I got that sweet, sweet card back.

Climbing the Wild ladder was fun, and I'm glad I got to see alot of old cards I've forgotten about while climbing. Now I'm hoping for a new Format so I can see more old cards get played again.

So what's next?

With Risen Mists coming out, I was trying to brainstorm how to build around Mistwraiths...which made me realize I didn't know exactly how some things worked out, so I jumped into the client to test them out.  Here are my observations in case anyone is interested:

• Mist's Call and Chronicler of Ruin on a Mistwraith works exactly like you'd expect: it plus every other Mistwraith goes up +1/+0.
• The aforementioned also work on Wraithcaller (assuming you hit allegiance). In other words, its allegiance acts like a conditional "when summoned". I don't know if all allegiances work like that; I have a vague memory of it not working for a different card.
• For both L2 Kalista and The Harrowing, it will not factor in the buff when calculating what is "strongest"--in other words, Mistwraith is just a 2/2 in the rez pool even though it instantly increases when it hits the battlefield. However if either of these effects pulls a 4/3 Wraithcaller--which is obviously a much more achievable target--that will in turn summon a new non-ephemeral Mistwraith similar to how The Rekindler works.
• If you run out of board space--e.g., The Harrowing created an ephemeral Wraithcaller in your 6th slot, so there's no room for the Mistwraith it summons--your Mistwraith is obliterated, but its brief presence does seem to "count" towards your global buff.

In summary: if you want to make a concerted effort to embiggen your wraiths, I think you are looking to focus on Wraithcallers.

So back in the day I enjoyed Toast's content before he started losing interest in HS and was only doing it for a source of income. However, I just saw a Toast video pop up in my YT about toast being on some dating show and thought it was pretty random. So for any Toast fans out there, what does he even do nowadays on YT?

TL;DR - Does Discover give every card an equal probability of being displayed?

When the Discover effect was changed to "not favor class cards", I just naively assumed that every available card had an equal probabiltiy of being shown as an option. 

For example, Primordial Explorer gives you the option of 3 dragons and there are currently 20 Neutral Dragons and 2 Hunter class Dragons in Standard (not counting Primoridal Explorer itself given the recent change).  Without thinking about it, I just assumed that the probability of getting say Rotnest Drake was 1/22 for the 1st discover option, 1/21 for the 2nd discover option, and 1/20 for the 3rd discover option (I don't remember ever getting the same Dragon shown twice, but if that's possible then the probability would be 1/22 for each option).  

However, this video was randomly recommended to me on YouTube today (had never heard of them before) and I gave it a listen.  The hyperlink skips to the 43:45 mark where an argument is made that Discover instead works as a 2-stage gamble so-to-speak.  For each of the 3 options there's a 1/2 probability that the card will be drawn from the Neutral Pool or the Class Pool.  After this, another die is rolled where every card in the respective pool has an equal probability of being displayed (without replacement).

So in the example above the probability of Rotnest Drake would be 25% for each of the 3 discover options (50% to be a class card and then 50% to be Rotnest Drake given that it's a class card).  Is this really the case??
