Current Patch

PATCH 1.10

Patch Schedule

Starting with Patch 1.2, Legends of Runeterra will follow the schedule below to ensure that PC and mobile users are seeing changes at roughly the same time.

• Tuesday (previously Mondays), ~10 AM PT
  • Patch notes article goes live (unchanged). 
• Tuesday, ~9:30-10:30 AM PT
  • We’ll deploy the new client to PC and the app stores. Players will be able to immediately update on PC, while mobile may take several hours based on your location.
  • This deployment will now be client-only, with no visible changes—think of it as the foundation for the new patch. You’ll be able to play afterwards as normal (though matchmaking will be separated by version), but functionally it’ll feel like you’re playing on the previous patch (in almost all cases).
• Wednesday, ~9:30-10:30 AM PT
  • We’ll push a data-only update that enables the new changes. You’ll briefly bounce to the Ashe loading screen if you’re in-client but won’t have to re-log (and games won’t be interrupted). We'll also force-update everyone to the new version—if you haven’t updated, you won’t be able to queue until you download the new version from your app store or re-log on PC.

Upcoming Patches

• Patch 1.11 - September 29 (balance update focused on Targon)

Hi.

I believe that I am not the only one that has tons of Common and Rare wildcards but just a few Epic and Champion wildcards. I guess that it will always be like this, that the two most rare types of cards will be bottleneck for deck building. Considering that I can craft Epics and Champions also for shards, does it make sense to use all my Rare and Common wildcards for something that I do not have? After that, when I will open the Common/Rare that I already have, I will get a shard refund, right? I do not want to end up with hundreds of useless wildcards while still missing Epics and Champions.

Or is there any better way how to approach this in the long term?

Thanks.

In Legends of Runeterra, Ephemeral units have the problem of being great on offense, but only playable on defense to prevent an Attack. In order to make them better on Defense and more interesting to play with and against, the Keyword Ephemeral could be changed to:

"This unit dies when it strikes. When the round ends, recall it"

This would open up a lot of new lines of play, since you could play something like the 5/5 Lifesteal Ephemeral on defense and then your opponent is forced to choose between giving you card advantage by not attacking or board advantage by attacking and having one of their units trade with an Ephemeral. Also, as the player playing Ephemeral units you would also have to think more about whether or not to block or attack with them. This change would be mostly a buff, but it would also make it so that on-death triggers wouldn't happen with ephemeral units unless you attack or block with them, which makes combos with cards like Phantom Prankster or Neverglade Collector require attacks. 

Competition Theme: From Foe To Friend

We're going on an adventure to find some new friends this week!

• You must create a Legendary minion
• Your minion must be based on a Boss from one of Hearthstone's Solo Content
  • This can be any of the bosses, even ones which already have cards!

Conduit wants us all to get along this week - even with some of our greatest foes!

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Hi everyone! Pezman here with a fun, off-meta, homebrew deck you might want to try. Check it out, leave a suggestion, give it a spin!

https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/15715-off-meta-questing

My rework of Vi would be to change her text to "I have +2|+0 for each Fleeting card you've played this game (max +8|+0)."

This would make her good in a deck built specifically around her, while making her weak without support cards. There would still be many ways to use her, such as with Bilgewater or Ionia or cards like Mechanist Zevi, but she could no longer be slotted into decks like Bannerman or Corina control that use her a just a big challenger unit. 

Here's mine:

• Boomcrew Rookie from 1/4 to 1/3
• Used Cask Salesman from 3/2 to 2/2
• Loyal Badgerbear from 4/4 to 4/3
• Unyielding Spirit increases from 8 mana to 9 mana
• L1 Vi from 2+/5 with tough to either 2+/4 or no tough.
• L1 Jinx from 4/3 to 4/4
• L1 Shen from 2/5 to 2/7
• Chief Mechanist Zevi decreased from 6 mana to 5 mana (5/6)
• Unscarred Reaver gains tough (1 mana 0+/3)
• Ember Maiden from 3/2 to 3/3
• Aurora Porealis from 7 mana to 6 mana
• The Syren's passive bonus loses the stipulation of attacking

Does anyone else cant log in on mobile ?

So I was playing earlier today, and I thought it would be interesting to make a deck that uses all the Spider cards. So I did that, and I have to say it’s a super fun deck to play. 

What do you guys think about Spider Decks?

Freljord is my fav. Not because I win with it most of the time. I actually don't. I just like the cards interactions and their lore. I like the whole bit with one person (Ashe) trying to bring about peace and another (Sejoani) who is hard headed and stuck in the old ways who thinks peace breeds weakness and war makes them strong. Which to be fair, she's not wrong, but war does more harm than good in the long run and Ashe sees this where she doesn't.

Hero Power & Upgraded Hero Power:

The Unfettered, Dragon and the Dragoon regiment commander hailing from the land of Nagrand, Ezra Vermillion is a man of power and command itself, with dragons and armies riding dragons at his command.

Dragons are the ultimate sign of power for Ezra, and that's not a bluff, for he commands a sizeable, large amount of them!

Card Sets

Basic

(Note: As of March 25th, both original Basic and Classic set are now rotated out to the Legacy set in Wild, replaced by Core. Scroll further below to find out Dragoon's current Core Set!)

In the Basic set, as with all other classes, the cards here serve mostly to solidify their core themes, what they can do, what they struggle to do, and what they can't do.

Extra Basic Cards

Do you know how other classes reward their level 50-60 progress with Golden versions of 5 different Basic cards? Dragoon is no exception of course, and these 5 Basic cards are added in addition to their Golden versions when player levels up their Dragoon class from 50 to 60.

(As of March 25th, all original Basic cards are now part of the Legacy set, so now you get these cards for free with no strings attached once you gain access to Wild format).

Classic

The Classic set continues the core theme of Dragoon from the Basic set and solidifies it further while adding in a few unique/unexpected cards here and there. Since it's Classic it can be guaranteed that these cards will always find a home on a deck, whether it be a huge staple of Dragoon decks or just a card you see here and there, floating in and out of metas.

Curse of Naxxramas presents Dragoon with a more...conventional card, so to speak. Or rather, a card that might, or might not help them: a Dragon with a Deathrattle that destroys a random enemy minion. Hard removal is scarce and very conditional with Dragoon, and this is a good example of that.

Due to being the first-ever expansion, this expac is mostly a collection of cards loosely tied with a Mech theme or randomness. While Dragoon will focus on Mech synergies here, there mostly won't be any randomness here, but not because of Dragoon being a low-RNG class or anything. Like Hunter and Warrior, Dragoon will eventually take their Mech theme further than GvG, probably more so than the two former classes.

While this is the set that will eventually introduce Dragon synergies that will remain relevant for many years to come, unlike most classes Dragoon won't immediately hop on to the Dragon mechanics introduced in this class, instead, they will mostly have synergies relating to controlling Dragons (psh, holding Dragons. Dragoons are all about putting those Dragons out immediately!), and this mechanic will be often seen here on out, 1 or 2 Dragon synergy cards each set. Sometimes.

Tokens:

In TGT, Dragoon furthers their Dragon synergies, much like Priest (kind of). More cards here that want the players to really get into Dragon-focused decks more. Also (intentional) Supremacy synergy comes up for the first time here.

As is with the set introducing Discover, Dragoon will get its first Discover card which will continue the theme of Dragoon's Discover being narrow and specific, while a few other cards have unique elements to them introduced.

- Verdant Squire is Vera's first canonical appearance in the game, so stay tuned for her future incarnations in future sets~

In the same vein as Druid and Priest, Dragoon has 2 C'Thun support cards aimed to make C'Thungoon (that's what I call that deck) a thing. And in this set is also a few more unique cards, including a new debuff card...and a Big archetype card, and this won't be the only one any time soon.

Y'know how there are some classes in this adventure that supports a sorta-kinda Menagerie style, but not really? Well, Dragoon is going bold in that it will introduce three Menagerie support cards in this set!

...well, more accurately this set contains a Dragon, a Beast (a first for the class), and a Murloc! (probably will be the only one though).

- Supreme Finlord doesn't annul a Supremacy effect to just draw a card, but it just adds a new Supremacy effect to Supremacy cards. For example, if you use a Crimson Blades to kill a minion, the weapon will gain +1 Attack but it will also draw you a card while Supreme Finlord is on the board.

Here's another bold development: there's a lot of custom classes out there going Kabal or Jade in this expansion...well, Dragoon is part of the Grimy Goons! Sure they're not as cool as Kabal with the whole spell-slinging and red mist thingies and Jade with their green men that grow larger after each green men, but...Dragoon has buffs. Tons of buffs, and hardy minions to work with. So Grimy Goons they are. Probably also helps that Don Han'Cho is one hell of a slick ogre, able to convince Ezra to get all dirty and grimy.

Call the deck in this expac Dragoon. Ha, get it?

Like a lot of the other classes in this expac Dragoon receives Beast, probably to the same amount that Druids or Hunters have, but this time around Dragoon is going to play and really stretch the power level of one of their limitations: Healing! Introduced in this expac is a set mostly focusing on healing...well, stalling for that matter. A new try in a Control shell for Dragoon.

Do you remember that short comic of a bard detailing a (probably fake) story of how the 9 famed heroes of Hearthstone dies and became a Death Knight due to Lich King's machinations? Well, just imagine Ezra in the panels where DK Malfurion and Rexxar kinda hangs out and they made Ezra a Death Knight there and there as well >.>

Unlike the sets before where Dragoon settles on 1-2 mechanical themes of the cards they have, this one's mostly going to be a little broader in terms of what the cards are, although flavor-wise these are all ice/frost dragons or dragonspawn, seeing over Northrend with Sapphiron leading the dragons.

Lich King Boss Fight

"Submit your fangs and claws, Dragoon. They are but a scratch before me."

Power Subjugation is the boss card The Lich King will play on his first turn. When he plays it, your minions can no longer gain Attack, whether it'd be from your Hero Power, or even stat buffs, although the Health buff would still apply. As Dragoon, you want to always maximize the use of your Hero Power by putting it on your minion, and you tend to want to buff your minions so they can survive against Lich King's onslaught too, but this card swiftly denies all of that, forcing you to use your Hero Power on your own hero and having to get creative in killing The Lich King.

As a side note, this also means the tried-and-true classic strategy of running a Murloc deck during this time won't work either, since Murloc Warleader can't buff your Murlocs' Attack at all, so you have to be more creative in defeating the Lich King as Dragoon.

The set that starts the powercreeps to end all powercreep, just like the other classes the cards in this set are exceptionally strong, and you can expect these cards to be staples in many decks for Dragoon to come. Two different themes are going on here: a team of dungeoneers and plunderers of the catacombs lead by a mysterious puppeteer (or is she a puppet?~) called Illia the Marionette, and the myriad of dragons and beasts protecting one of the catacombs' treasures: The Dreadtalon.

Mechanics wise, this set further exemplifies the power of Dragons in this class, while also taking a direction of supporting Supremacy in both counts, directly and indirectly, while Spiteful Summoner is going to love Aspect Awakening, but of course, the main event here is the unique, never before seen build around The Dreadtalon. Can you build a deck that goes against the entire philosophy of Dragoon as a Dragon class?~

Arena Exclusive

In the Arena Exclusive event happening during KnC, players are asked to vote for what cards they can give to a class exclusively for Arena, and Dragoon is no exception, with three choice cards. Is it going to be the early removal/semi-Freeze effect Chilling Breath? Is it the pseudo-hard removal Curbstomp? Or is it going to be the simple, yet powerful Spirited Ax? Your vote decides!

In this dark swamp ruled by Hagatha, darkness abounds as black dragons descend and malevolent creatures ride on the fields outside Gilneas itself, and especially the Twin Reapers, Nava & Thanatos under Hagatha's command, killing any poor adventurers and Gilneans that dared wander out the Gilneas' walls. But as with opposites, with darkness encroaching, so too the light enlightening and dissipating the suffocating void, as the dead Emerald dragon Thitazov helps those who would be close to death, lighting the path of the swamp.

Mechanic wise, the cards in this set are well rounded and can create a good foundation for Dragoon decks to come, with either cards caring about securing the early lead, like Darkmire Drake and Nightfall Dragoon, or more value/control-oriented, like Headhunter and Nava and Thanatos themselves.

Mysterious Missives - Dragoon

As you prepare to face the evil in The Witchwood, it would be wise to arm yourself with knowledge of the key players in this unfolding conflict. Fortunately for you, such knowledge has mysteriously materialized...

The source of the following dossiers is a mystery, and it is uncertain whether you can trust the information contained herein. After all, in these dark times, rumors fly like a murder of crows.

Still, even the slightest knowledge of who’s who could be just the edge you need to survive the curse.

Read on, brave monster hunter.

Taverns of Time

Each class in the Taverns of Time Arena event gets two really strong cards (that are luckily Arena-exclusive) and Dragoon is certainly no less strong, with Constellar's Envoy and Rewinding Scales.

In the Boomsday Lab, Dragoons focuses on one of the more mundane things Dr. Boom doesn't really think much: manufacturing! Heavy industry is the theme for Dragoon here flavor-wise, where all of the cards are concerning industrial things like Mechs and flames, lead by the short-tempered dragonspawn Pyroblaster Zagrosz. Mechanics wise, this set continues the Mech synergy that was mostly on GvG and adds on more to it, like Warrior and Hunter, while also putting more emphasis on dealing damage being a core component in Dragoon.

In Rastakhan's Rumble, Dragoon leads the team Tharon'ja's Serpents, championed by Aspect Champion Gar'hok. This team is especially known for wanting to win at any cost and getting out as much raw power as possible while never letting out too much of their power. Savage and brutal, a second is never wasted for them. They have all the upper hand, and they will crush you with as much power as possible.

This set introduces and expands on hand and draw synergy, not seen since Faceless Envoy. Oh, and some of these cards happen to be Big ones too~

Rumble Run

As Rikkar had to choose as the 9 other Loas tried to convince Rikkar to join their team, he unexpectedly chooses Tharon'ja's Serpents, who has stayed mostly quiet and enjoying the spectacle of the other Loas wanting Rikkar to join their team. Tharon'ja smiled smugly to the other Loas. Really, why wouldn't that troll join him, honestly? He is all about being victorious and wanting to really crush the opponent. Qualities he knows the troll likes. It's not like this troll would ever betray him or anything...

Starting Deck

When you think about it, the Good and Evil classes are kind of decided alphabetically. Good classes are the first four classes in the Collection menu, while the Evil classes are the last five classes in the Collection menu. So hypothetically, Dragoon comes first, then Druid in the Collection menu.

So, therefore, Dragoon's a Good class! This set aims to expand Dragoon's identity a bit further than just being a dragon class, with now a focus on buffs and its synergies, alongside Mechs and a few unique cards here and there.

"Why is a gnome the one who's in charge of the dragons?"

Astarea represents Dragoon in Dalaran Heist, a rather maniacal dragontamer-to-be who's currently trying to collect as many dragons as she can, living or dead. Wouldn't that go against what the League of E.V.I.L is pla-ssssh, she doesn't know that yet. In addition to the normal Sharpen Claws hero power, she also has access to Power up! and Quick Hatch.

More info on Dalaran Heist coming soon!

Default Hero Power.	Play 10 Supremacy Cards	Attack with your hero 15 times.

Guess who's back? It's Vera, now all spiffed up and fully invigorated by desert magic!...well, a somewhat corrupted, dark desert magic. Foreshadowed by Vera Wakefield being a hero skin for Dragoon in Year of the Dragon, she returns in an all-new form, becoming the fifth Explorer! (for more lore details see the Tombs of Terrors tab)

Set-wise, this card marks more of Dragoon's focus to buffs, while also adding in a bit more of Mech synergy, but also...continuing more and adding even more support for the Big Dragoon playstyle. Oh, and of course, Highlander support since all the other Good classes gets Highlander support.

Unlocked at the Final Chapter

In Tombs of Terror, you control Vera Wakefield, seen here looking absolutely different compared to her alternate hero skin and original Verdant Squire days, now allying herself with the League of Explorers. In her wanderlust journey around Azeroth, she came across Uldum to find that the place is either ransacked or infested by evil manifestations. Disbelieving of what she sees, she was almost nearly taken by Hagatha until Elise pulled a daring rescue, escaping with Vera from Hagatha's search. When the dust settles, Vera thanks them and was about to go her way again avoiding Uldum, but the other four Explorers start to think about their numbers disadvantage...and they happen to have this weird sandy black lotus headdress from one of the Uldum tombs, shining with dark energy...and this girl is wandering around Uldum...she can be a useful Explorer in saving the world!

So after a few convincing by Elise, Vera decides to follow and be inducted into the Explorers as she wears the magical sandy black lotus...and she feels the pulse and power of desert swirling inside her...and her appearance changed as she founds herself a new sand spear, a translucent dragon tail and the power to control sands!...and dark energies. It seems the black lotus the Explorers found was half-corrupted by Rafaam's influence, and luckily for Vera, she doesn't get the full brunt of corruption, mostly now she's able to control both demons and dragons on her command!

More info and cards on Tombs of Terror coming soon!

In the Final Chapter of Tombs of Terror, the Explorers finally made it through the E.V.I.L bosses and reached Dark Pharaoh Tekahn, now the Plague Lord of Flames, as Tekahn laid out his plans in trying to destroy Uldum for his own gain, and for Rafaam's unexplained reasons. Vera, having enough of this world unsanctimoniously ravaged, recklessly advances towards Tekahn and tries to fight him head-on...only to get Tekahn to stab her with the sharp end of his staff, and dropped her atop the pyramid they were on top of, killing her instantly...

Enraged by this callous act, the four Explorers fights off Tekahn head-on, to avenge Vera and to save the world! They succeeded...for a little bit before Rafaam abandoned Tekahn and reveals his true final plan: unleashing the Ur-Dragon himself, Galakrond!

Meanwhile beneath the pyramid as a sandstorm erupts on the now silent and decrepit Uldum, Vera awoke from her near-death experience, her form returning to normal as she lost her power, her black lotus headdress wilting and decaying. As she grabbed the lotus in her hand, she feels a large amount of energy erupting from the black lotus, and the lotus explodes in flower pieces, revealing...the spirit of The Earthwarder himself, Neltharion, completely free and pure, uncorrupted, a sight that hasn't been seen since he was corrupted to be Deathwing! What can this possibly mean?

With Doom in the Tomb, Verdant Squire and Sinestra make a comeback (from LoE and WoToG respectively) after staying in the Wild pasture for awhile. Hmmm, these cards feel very Dragon-y as Dragoon shifts away a little from Dragon synergies...what's up with this?~

Five minions of this class join Battlegrounds: Bullfrog, Onyx Forgescale, Vermillion Glider, Steel Smold-a-Bot, and Rheastrasza.

Patch 21.2 Rework Update: Smold-a-Bot and Rheastrasza is getting removed (still existing here for posterity), but alongside Master Nguyen and Cariel Roame, another new hero is added: Vera Wakefield, from the League of Explorers!

As the conclusion of Year of the Dragon's storyline unfolds, and with The League of Explorers being one member short, they briefly pray to the gods and titans of Azeroth to aid them in this showdown, to stop The League of E.V.I.L. from wreaking havoc or resurrecting Galakrond. And as the battle rages and they accidentally fell and got picked up by 4 of the Dragonflight leaders...the 5th one showed up just as Reno is having difficulties! It's Vera Wakefield, returning from the dead (not that she's ever dead) riding the corporeal spirit of Neltharion, Incorruptible. Can the League of Explorer truly save the day now, with Vera returning with the good Black Dragonflight, led by the original Neltharion himself?

So. This is a Dragon-focused set. Dragoon is a Dragon-focused class. What do you think they will focus on? Beasts? Secrets? Of course Dragons! And for the first time, a sort of spell-focused set, with cards caring about spells. And in a departure much like Warrior, where they get the Legendary weapon Ancharrr, Dragoon receives their second-ever Hero card, Dragonmaiden Vera, the now-dragon knight who will do her best to defeat Galakrond.

In this adventure, Vera once again aid the Explorers in defeating Galakrond, and this time for real! 3 new Dragoon cards can be unlocked here, all of them focus on the build-upon spell synergy.

Tokens:

After a set focused around Dragons, Dragoon once again takes a step back and focused on more new things, two different subthemes popping up in this set: Immune pops up a lot more here after Dragoon has a few cards about it, and a focus on weapon/hero attack. Flavor-wise, Dragoon also gets a little more specific than usual, this set being consisted of hardy ethereals led by Netherstalker Nauthis, formerly of the Burning Legion defender, now leading the Ethereum and follower of Mecha Jaraxxus' Rusted Legion. What plan are these Ethereals concocting?

With the excursion to Outland finished, we have now arrived at the whimsical, totally-not-scary-at-all Scholomance Academy! Here, besides the usual training Dragoons get of dragon mastery in any capacity and intermediate weapon mastery, they can also take a double-major honor rolls in two classes: Taking up arms as a Paladin and emphasizing more on self-strengthening or armoring up as a Warrior and...well, of course dragon taming. As always. Both Warriors and Paladins now can also have more taste of Dragon synergies due to the Dragoon pairing!

Before Ezra Vermillion became known as the Dragon Knight and Dragoon Commander of Nagrand, he wasn't really anyone special back then, not like most famed heroes of Hearthstone. No, he was actually just the son of a Sir Gale Vermillion, a well-known dragon knight of Stormwind. Though not just a son, he was Sir Gale's squire, noting his adventures and helping his father out in his adventures. But on one chance visit to Nagrand, Ezra found himself face-to-face against a huge clefthoof! Not for no reason, too, turns out Ezra was brought along here because his father wants to test his skills and warrior prowess against the clefthoof. And from this clefthoof fight, Ezra's life will be tumultuous and filled with many conflicts, all of which shaped him to become the illustrious dragoon he is today...

In this Book of Heroes, you will fight through 8 bosses, all of them signifying an important event for Ezra, all divided to 3 phases of his life: Ezra as a squire of his father, Ezra as a wandering dragoon looking for purpose, and Ezra as the commander of dragons he become.

Squire Ezra	Boss 1: Banthar

More (Voicelines, Hero Powers, Bosses) will come soon! Stay tuned!

Who else could represent the ever-illustrious lineage of dragon tamers and powerful dragoons but...the grumpy Scholomance groundskeeper? Well, it's not like Grea or Andormu wants to join in for this weird event Kel'Thuzad has cooked up (they say they're too busy teaching, but he knows they're too afraid to lose!). And so, representing the Dragoon is Kirtonos the Herald! And he'll make those young Dragoons know to no longer mess and do pranks on him again!

Come one, come all! To the grand and majestic Darkmoon Faire, where the dragons are all manic joybringers, where everyone flies most assuredly without wings, and where you can feel like you've changed...for the better! In this set, we've got two themes and mechanics coming in: circus-like and jester dragons coming in to clown on you led by the adorable black dragon magician Marhavian (who is totally under the risk of getting all giant from Old Gods' influence!) that are based around damaging you and overwhelming you, and rambunctious goblins flying away on the Faire with the help of one Ziggie Sparks. Because they can fly! Without the help of those stinky Dragons! And that's why they're part of the Dragonless package, harkening back to KnC during Dreadtalon days!

When the race is on, everyone gets excited at the Darkmoon Faire to see...well, everything that can happen. Race mishaps, possible accidental death while racing, bunch of animals suddenly escaping the faire, racers eyeing each other trying to get the lead...lots of things to get excited about! And this set, too, exemplifies that flavor, with cards specifically relating to racing outside of the racers themselves, an imprisoned dragon from warriors...and even a reckless...paladin racer? 

Core Set 2021: Gryphon

After 7 years of unchanged Classic cards, we finally enter our first ever rotating Core Set! Many cards of Basic and Classic, unfortunately, had to be put to the Legacy pasture (at least Blade of Eventide is now back to being part of the Witchwood set!). But, a lot of the staples and favorites (to me at least) stays, not to mention many of them reworked too, and some of them from past expansions, and three new cards for Core Set! Exciting stuff, isn't it?

Ah, the Barrens. The land of the Horde, a sprawling landmass of unlimited potential where centaurs and quilboars ruled the wilderness...and also where Dragoon will strike their fortune and blow things up! Yup, Dragoon here is part of the Horde, led by the rocketeer goblin villain-for-hire Zeelo Greenblast, who according to him, has been outcasted (no pun intended) by both Gallywix and the goblins at large, and Dr. Boom! Must be a real piece of goblin if even Dr. Boom don't want anything to do with him. And he'll make sure those who tried to underestimate him will regret it! This set comprises of two themes based on Zeelo himself: Hero attacks (all about getting in and blasting the enemies' faces!) and Fire spells (after all, Zeelo himself is a rocketeer.)! With Kreenig Snarlsnout alongside him, none can oppose Zeelo's explosive march!

A dangerous adventure to some weird low-light cavern with the other Horde 'friends'? Sure, why not! It took Rokara convincing him to do so, but maybe this is where the Naaru shard is located that he can gave out to Gallywix, right? Well, that's neither here nor there, perhaps. There's a big snake that works with hero attacks, bunch of other adventurers coming in every few times or so, but more importantly...weird cave like this is a fine target to blow up! 

Would you look at that? We're at Stormwind, now! And it means the Alliance mercenaries get to show their stuff more...though don't think of that as Zeelo just laying dormant! While the other Horde 'friends' are just kind of busy with their own things (Tamsin trying to destroy Stormwind? Guff just being a dumb himbo and playing around in some park? Whatever), it's a good chance for Zeelo to do what he gotta do, as Kazakus gave instructions on: DEMOLISH STORMWIND! Or, distract the big guys up top while Tamsin is doing the most things...something like that? Eh, those details hardly matter to him right now! With a focus on Mech driving in once again for Dragoon, on top of a few fascinating cards, especially a certain big guy from back then, Zeelo is sure to make an impact with his demolition plan!

MERCENARIES! It sure is a mode.
Here are a few Mercs for the mode based on this class right now.

Ezra Vermillion

Drakonid Bruiser

Cyanigosa

Zeelo Greenblast

Going into the Deadmines now, are we? Well! Aren't ya in luck! Not only are we getting right inside of Deadmines, we are even going to see a lot of Pirates on the way! Everybody loves that tribe, right?
(beat)
Anyway. Cards. Yes. Deadmines, with one Pirate card for Dragoon and some other assortments of such. This part of the story would also be where Zeelo still kinda dips off after he's involved with Tamsin, helping her out and getting rewarded with getting part of the shard, and goes home back to Gadgetzan...but is he really home? Will he return back to his old friends with a conscience, even if he gets what he needed?

Ah yes, the Alterac Valley. The final countdown as things get rocky, dicey, and any other such metaphors! So many things that can go wrong, will go wrong here at once! As it turns out, oops, Zeelo needs to go back because what he brought back ain't enough for the Gadgetzan peeps. And so, with a heavy heart, he unfortunately needed to catch up to the others he formally forsakes himself...whoops! Returning back to Alterac and fighting with the rest of the Horde, Zeelo figured one of the best ways to fight back is to just send in hordes (ha) and hordes of scrappy little things to overwhelm them stupid Alliance people!
And so, Kraftwerks exists! A Libram-like archetype for Dragoon focusing on the scrappy little 3/3 Rush Mechs that you can upgrade as much as you can! And don't worry, Kraftwerks come with their own unique deckbuilding requirements! Oh, also some Control-ish cards. Which is pretty cool as well.

The Onyxia's Lair! With everything in Alterac blowing off and everyone letting off steam and doing the classic faction rivalry, it's only inevitable that we found out who orchestrated everything, and more importantly for Zeelo, the person who got him in this hullabaloo in the first place! Who else but that stinky dragon-but-disguising-herself-as-a-human woman from the Alliance court? And that troll paying him a fat sum to stay close to Tamsin, too! Oh, those two are gonna pay big time!
Also this is a Dragon set. Works great for me, hahah! Two new Dragons (and the big boy from Stormwind returns to lend her sister a claw!) and one more Kraftwerk support for this set. Good stuff~

Core Set 2022: Hydra

We now enter the land of a new Standard era. Well, 3 months ago, anyway. I think? With the release of Voyage to the Sunken City, a new Core Set has to emerge, of course. The set for Dragoon, much like the other classes, are mostly the same with a few changes (and a new addition!), though it's pretty, shall we say, buff-y~

Can I just say this expansion probably has the coolest theme song ever? It's not my favorite, but...underwater dubstep with Night Elf language? There's something so sick about that. If only Hearthstone still commands high attention and captures a lot of people still...
*ahem* Anyway. As we venture into the Voyage of the Sunken City, we see Nagas coming to the game...which means, at last, new tribe for Dragoon to work with! Gosh, it's been so long since we have a synergizing tribe for this class, right? With Nagas becoming a focus for this expansion as a new synergizing tribe for Dragoon, in fact, so much of a focus many of the cards feel like it supports that theme, much in the same way as Mage and Hunter, not a lot of other themes shines through here. With two Dredge cards, and a theme of Naga recursion with its many cards, topped off by an undying big boy Dragon Colossal, this expansion is a surge of newness for all of y'all!

(Throne of the Tides Mini-Set)

Throne of the Tides. All about the petty fights between octopussy monster Ozumat and the Lord of Tides himself, Neptulon the Tidehunter who was done very dirty during GvG (which I personally don't mind I love Murlocs but hey). Dragoon's all about the Ozumat side, which is why they still didn't have an Elemental after so long. Heh. Contained here is a Fire synergy card, and Supremacy synergy...and also a heal card? What does these things mean?~

My fizz was recalledby my opponent, and later hit with the 2 damage piltover spell, even though I cast a spell and gave him elusive. Is this the same bug twice in a match? Are rito actually to stupid to word his description? Just need to know.

I think that in order for Hearthstone to be more fun and have higher deck diversity, they need to introduce a dual-class mode. A dual-class mode allows for cards that would otherwise see absolutely no play to become a part of a viable deck. For example, the quest “The Last Kaleidosaur” was never viable, because Paladin simply didn’t possess enough buff cards. However, if Paladins were able to choose priest as a second class, they could add more buff cards and complete the quest earlier. The same goes for other archetypes like no-spell mage or or Deathrattle rogue, which could have been a lot better with access to tools from another class.

Secondly, dual-class allows for the player to choose which of the two Hero Powers they want, allowing for the creation of archetypes like Control Hunter or Aggro Priest that are limited by their Hero Power.

The Main issue with a dual-class mode is that it would remove some class identity, but as a separate optional mode I think it would open up a lot of deckbuilding possibilities and create 2 more metas for players to solve (standard and wild dual-class) which would make the game feel a lot more fresh and varied. 

Hi all. I've had an idea to make the new non dupe rules and all these free rares being dished out as end of season rewards even better.

Wouldn't it be a good idea if, once you have all the rares available from standard expansions, you start to get awarded rares from wild expansions? The dust value is exactly the same but it continues to widen your collection, meaning that newer players get to develop their wild collection without having to commit to buying a bunch of packs.

I've had a think and can't really see much of a downside, other than that you can't stockpile duplicate cards in order to potentially cash in on balance change refunds, as many of us did recently with Priestess of Fury, Crimson Sigil Runner, etc.

So, whadda ya think?

LoR, 2000+ Attack fluff of poro! https://imgur.com/gallery/GoSl05T

I was playing the Dalaran heist on my IPad, and then I played Ethereal Conjurer and my game crashed instantly. I have tried getting back in to the game, but the game tries to resume the match from the heist and then instantly crashes every time. I don’t know if this only happens on IOS or on other platforms. 

Im trying to buy the 6 golden packs. I don’t remember my bnet pw. I’ve been trying to contact support but their live chat isn’t available right now. I’ve sent them messages with no replies, I cannot reset my password without knowing my old one.

any tips?

Zilean: 3 Mana ,1 Strength, 3 Health, 'create a Time Bomb when I survive damage',

Level up: 'I get summoned a second time' -> 1 Strength 5 Health, 'create a time bomb when I survive damage', 'create a Time Warp after casting 2 spells this round'

Time Bomb: 3 Mana, Fast, 'Deal 5 damage to an enemy at the start of next round' (This shouldnt be a card that you can put in your deck)

Time Warp: 5 Mana, Slow, 'End the round immediately, End of Round effects dont trigger'

You like these? You have some adjustments in your mind?

You aren’t actually good if you win games.  Good luck climbing when it’s nerfed and you actually need to think.

Am I the only one who has to watch the loading screen for an hour before it opens? The game seems to be stuck on "Checking for Updates" forever. Does anyone else have the same problem or is it just me?

Epic Games is the launcher I use, if this helps.

I know I've seen it played in at least two of my games but I cannot find it anywhere, in my collection or on this site.
