I've been playing Hearthstone since way back in beta and legend has always been out of my reach but today I finally made it. I couldn't have gotten there without this site, which helped me learn about a lot of different decks that are out there and how to play with/against them. Probably couldn't have gotten there either without the change in the ranked system (or the latest round of nerfs to other decks), but hey, you gotta play the game that's there, right?
A couple of months ago I was one win away on three separate occasions and I fell back and I thought I'd never get back there again. Today I started out a star into Diamond 2, went 5-1, was one star away then lost, took a break and came back and won two in a row and hit legend. Feels pretty good! If you're out there in the "so close, yet so far" category like I have been for a long time, let me just say that I know you can do it.
My winner was right out of an article here:

Curious to see how many people here still enjoy ladder play and which decks you guys are bringing to the fight.
My latest creation is Anivia / Braum variation centered around... try to guess this one: Absorb Soul!!!
I am currenlty having a great deal of sucess with it, excels against aggro/burn decks and Anivia wins by herself if the game goes on for too long. Here is the list:

Been playing LoR for a bit over a month and have farmed a good portion of the cards but I have to ask: Is there a chance they will nerf some of the mechanics that make this game toxic for newbies at some point? I dont mind getting facerushed or burn-spelled to death, but when I consistently come up against 3-4 recall/stun, deep, unyielding spirit and Heimer decks in every category of play ( Even casual and the tail end of gauntlet) it makes me want to uninstall and go back to some other TCG... Is there hope or should I just quit while I have fond memories? Even the pillage mechanic everyone seems to hate isnt as bad as the previous stuff, at least you can counter it with a strong board.
Some Vets pls chime in. I want to like LoR but... I quit Hearthstone for the same reason, only 3-4 decks can compete and I don't own all the cards.

Sindragosa isn’t the most exciting hero, it doesn’t let you high-roll a golden Hangry Dragon on turn 4 or steal a minion from your opponent but I find his hero power makes for a very consistent early/mid game carry that lets you avoid damage and win fights while building up an end-game board. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the early game and how I play Sindragosa.
Turn 1 – 3 gold – 3 minions in shop
Out of the 3 minions offered, generally pick the strongest minion or the minion most likely to win or tie fights, you want to avoid taking damage in the first two turns. You can’t be too picky and you need to freeze the board on turn 1, even if the minions aren’t necessarily that great. Best case scenario minions to freeze:
Righteous Protector – taunt and divine shield, makes a fantastic early game minion as a 3/3 or 4/4 taunt with divine shield
Fiendish Servant – deathrattle to transfer attack to other minion, it’s not the best but could possibly help you win a fight or two you would have otherwise lost
Vulgar Homunculus – if I’m not buying this on turn 1 because I have other options, I actually like freezing this minion because it becomes a quick 4/6 or 5/7 taunt and can be further buffed by Nathrezim Overseer at Tier 2 if you find one.
Mechs – I generally don’t mind freezing mechs because they are so easy to buff at tier 3 and 4.
Wrath Weaver – I like freezing the Weaver because I can defrost it at turn 3 or 4 and keep buffing it. Even if I don’t force demons I can spend a little bit of health and have a quick 8/8 minion by tier 3 to help win some fights.
Turn 2 – 4 gold – 3 minions in shop
Tier up and freeze the board.
Turn 3 – 5 gold – 4 minions in shop
This is where things get weird, it depends on how you started and what are your minions in the shop. At this point you have 3 buffed minions in your tavern (2 with a 2/2 buff, 1 with a 1/1 buff) and a 4th unbuffed minion, hopefully tier 2. There’s generally a couple common situations but you’ll still freeze the board at the end of your turn:
You started turn 1 with a token, so either a 2/1 murloc tidehunter or a 1/1 Alleycat. I’ll sell the token and buy two minions. I don’t want to lose to next fight so my best case scenario would be to buy the unbuffed minion and buy the minion that benefits the least from a buff. So for example, if I have a Deck Swabbie and Righteous Protector that has been frozen since turn 1 and a Mecharoo frozen since turn 2, I’ll likely buy the Deck Swabbie that is now a 4/4 since it can probably win a fight and I’d rather keep buffing the other two minions.
You did not start with a token, but the 4th minion that just came out is stronger, say a 3/4 Steward of Time, sell your minion, buy the 3/4 Dragon and buy a 4/4 Deck Swabbie.
You did not start with a token, and the 4th minion that just came out is trash. Buy the trash, sell the trash so that the empty spot refills next turn, buy the 4/4 Deck Swabbie.
Turn 4 – 6 gold – 4 minions in shop
This is again another interesting turn with Sindragosa and it depends on your board and your health at this point:
You’re still above 37 health and you’re fighting someone weak, buy the two weakest minions (if they’re still useful) or buy one of the minions that has been frozen since turn 1. Freeze the board.
You’ve lowrolled into Rafaam turn 2 and AFK turn 3 and your health is getting low, buy the 2 minions that have been frozen since turn 1. Freeze the board.
Turn 5 – 7 gold – 4 minions in shop
Really depends on what you’ve built up to this point but you should buy one minion and tier up to Tier 3. If you’ve only got one remaining buffed minion in the shop, buy it and don’t freeze and look for tier 3 minions next turn. If you have been greedy, you may just buy a single minion frozen since turn 1 and freeze the board again.
At this point, you should have a decently buffed board. Try to build the strongest board you possibly can at turn 6 to ensure that you can comfortably tier up to Tier 4 by turn 7. Don’t get married to your minions and if you can sell a buffed minion to replace it with a stronger minion, don’t be afraid to do it. Your hero power beyond this point is a perk but don’t freeze minions that aren’t that great just because of the 1/1 buff.
To recap all of the above, freeze your board every turn for the first 4 turns and try to play around with what is being offered to you as best as you can. I’ve uploaded a video of me playing Sindragosa at 12k MMR that further explains my thought process throughout:
https://youtu.be/Vk-3KOBwn84

Honestly I'm surprised they don't have any dredge like cards that use your graveyard as a resource. They have a ton of discard cards but nothing to bring back discarded cards outside of deep.
Cards like that would really help champs like Jinx be more viable. Also you could build decks that discard expensive heavy hitters early on only to bring them back later during the mid game like turn 5 or 6 for cheap.
You could also take that as a way to add mill cards and cards to discard cards your enemy has in their hand or deck and even use your dredge cards to take from their graveyard too.

Hey everyone, I'm a diamond wild player playing exclusively Big Shaman... with a personal twist- Including two copies of Grand Archivist is a seemingly questionable move but so far it has been very powerful.
The reasoning is (and why my spells differ so greatly from other BS's) is that the only bad picks from the deck are casting Ancestral on an opponent's minion or an early Healing Rain. Lightning Storm can be a welcome pirate clear although the overload can be bad. Hagatha's, while ineffective, is still fine because it thins it out of the deck being that it is a bad top deck.
It has only happened once out of maybe 30 games that they have caused me to go into fatigue, but if you are facing a lot of control include only one of them. Big Shaman tends to stomp out far before it happens and a Eureka or Ancestral call being drawn is back-breaking.
It boggles my mind why I rarely run into another Big Shaman on the ladder! This deck is insanely enjoyable. Well worth your dust; the win percent is around 65%.

Look. I'm bored. You're bored. It's still about a week until the reveals start. So let'S have some fun speculating about things that probably will end up very differently anyways.
Now the new expansion brings us dual-class cards. We also already know all the 10 dual class combinations. Finally, we also know (basically) that there will be a legendary for each dual class combo which will be one of the teachers at the school.
The question is, how will these dual class cards (especially the legendaries) turn out?
Here's what we got so far:
Wand Thief: a basic minion with a Rogue keyword as the activator and a classic Mage staple of discovering a Mage spell (as opposed to just discovering a spell in general). It demonstrates the core philosophy of these cards of being a combination of two class specific previously established mechanics.
Lightning Bloom: Same principle as before, but even more simplified. They took a previously nerfed card (Innervate) and essentially "rebooted" it with the added caveat of Shaman overload. Not so much a strong combination of effects, but rather a very powerful effect (that previously only Druid had access to) balanced by a downside.
Devolving Missiles: a more interesting example of combining a Shaman staple (Evolve/Devolve) and combining it with a recurring Mage theme of damage being applied through split missiles
Shan'do Wildclaw: finally, our first and so far only dual class legendary. She seems to be a rather unique case because instead of having an effect that combines two aspects from both classes she splits them up by utilizing the Druid-only [Hearthstone Card (Choose one) Not Found] keyword. As a result we're getting the Keleseth-esque deck buff that is (currently) clearly intended for midrange Beast Hunter, while the other option is a 3-mana tribal Faceless Manipulator which, while still useful for Hunter, has some rather obvious synergies with the Big Beasts that Druid keeps getting from time to time (such as Winged Guardian). The interesting part is that while there seems to be a clear divide between the options, there is always the option to add support for either class, making it very well executed concept. Basically it confirms that Beasts will be more relevant for these classes in the future.
So...with all that in mind, where will these dual class cards go mechanically and thematically? Let's speculate:
It's pretty obviously going to be a Demonology focussed class. The teacher will either be a demon or have demon synergy. Similar things will occur with the other cards. I think there's a decent possibility that some sort of Lifesteal-control tool will be among them. Most definitely some sort of Big Demon support for both DH and Warlock. A self-damage synergy card might be in there as well seeing how DH also has the proclivity of ramming their face into spiky things.
As evidenced by the legendary it will most likely be Beast focussed. Maybe there'll be one of the classic Choose One shapeshifters with a possible Hunter twist. Or we just get some allround beasts (both big and small). Either way it's a great opportunity to support the beast archetype for both these classes without having to print lame neutrals
now the most obvious overlap here would be sm0rc, but I actually think that's not gonna be the case. I think we're gonna be looking at a more token focussed approach. Both Hunter and DH have synergy with small rushing tokens (and Token DH so far has been quite weak...most likely intentionally). Either way I don't believe they'd just push more aggro cards for two classes that already excel at it. THere's also potential for a weapon somewhere in there.
Missiles aren't really much to go by, but it'S fair to assume that there will be an emphasis on spells. Maybe we'll even get some more Burn Spells (which is a major shared theme), some Overload limited card draw, or just some strong AoE. I think it's a safe bet that they'll be referencing the Freeze Shaman meme one more time....but like...good..
Really hard to evaluate. There's not a lot of overlap between these classes. Handbuff could make a return, but at this point that mechanic just seems dead anyways. A weapon is probably a safe bet. Maybe there'll be more Armor+Healing interactions like Thekal....or maybe Paladin can finally get a proper boardclear by proxy. Big taunts are also a possibility.
aside from the ultra-obvious healing cards there might also be some stat manipulation going on. Perhaps we even see the return of Reborn by way of a substitute teacher from Uldum or something like that. The classes also occasionally share a Deathrattle theme so maybe there's something here. Honestly I feel like there'S too much similarity to really predict how they'll make interesting combinations, but I assume they wouldn't have paired them up if they didn't have a plan.
Equal possibility for burn spells or single target removal. Spell damage with a twist could also be in there. If I had to guess the legendary it would probably involve something about generating extra value. Maybe there'll be some cool stealth minions for mage. The most obvious combo will be a secret though. Both Mage and Rogue need more Secret support and this can easily take care of both...although how a shared secret would look like is anyone's guess.
Lightning Bloom isn't much to go by. I also doubt they'd just print some powerful single-target or AOE removal for Druid (unless it comes with a heavy overload cost). Healing is a shared theme so maybe there's something to find there. There's also shared token strategies between the two. I feel like a Choose One card with two Shaman effects is a likely outcome.
Healing for Warlock. If they don't give us healing for Warlock via this (even if conditional) I'm gonna lose it. Aside from that there's probably going to be some crazy mixed boardwipe and maybe some "kill own stuff and also rez it" shenanigans.
Aside from the obvious weapons and pirates (perhaps too obvious), this might be a sneaky way for Rogue to get some sort of lifegain. So far nothing suggests that these dual class cards will undermine class weaknesses, but who knows at this point? They can always just come up with a gimmick to limit its usefulness. Either way we should get some sort of BUrgle support through this.
And that's it. That's all I can come up with, but maybe someone else has even more ideas. Feel free to share.

Since there are still more than 6 days till the next (official) card reveal, I'd suggest holding a card design competition to shorten the wait. Obviously, the theme would be from Scholomance- I'd suggest 2class-cards-, and in the end we could compare our own designs against the official releases.
What to you think?

I was using the card search tool for Hearthstone today (https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/ ) and wanted to list all the secrets available in standard. I don't see anywhere in the list of filters a toggle to show only cards valid in standard. This seems like an odd thing to be missing, given that there are a few battlegrounds specific toggles. There should be a toggle to choose game mode (Standard/Wild/Arena/BG/Any).

This updated version of crimson elusives post monk nerf just smashes.
You just add Draven that has been doing so well in the basalisk lists, which also lets you drop conspirator in favor of 3rd decimate
It is absolutely the fastest list in the meta, it sets up for lethal off of 3rd attack every time
There are no bad handstates, there are no bad draws
You almost never muligan more than 2 cards
It just feel great every round, you always feel like games are yours to loose

A few updates were pushed throughout the day today to support the new Scholomance Academy Hearthstone expansion and more! These updates have come a bit later and earlier than originally planned.
For the Out of Cards site anniversary last month, a large bundled site update was planned to release. Long story short, it was not released due to having some unfinished pieces (including the auto-sync plugin) and things have been very busy which has resulted in further... you guessed it... delays. I decided to push everything that was fully ready today due to the increased expansion traffic and since there were some quality of life updates, it would be helpful for everyone to get them today.

You made it this far. If you want to participate in an alpha test of our automatic collection syncing plugin for Hearthstone Deck Tracker, here's what you need to know. Once we're comfortable with it, a front-page announcement will be made. I want to get automatic plugin updates happening for that.
Now, onto the fun stuff!
Out of Cards now has an alpha plugin for Hearthstone Deck Tracker. This only works on Windows. It will automatically sync your collection to the site. It will require logging into the plugin through your Out of Cards account so we can sync the data.
Interested and on Windows? Let's get it installed!
