Tomorrow is a launch day for Saviors of Uldum, which means another arena rotation will happen. Leave your arena run unfinished at maximum of two losses to get the rewards for current number of wins plus a Free Arena Ticket as a compensation for your retired run.

Dont leave this for last second tho, ideally start your run several hours before the launch (August 6, 1pm ET, 7pm CEST), since prior to launch, arena entries are disabled.

Play out your run to x-2, if you want more rewards from your run, or just leave it at 0-0 if you dont want to spend time playing it out.

Now, due to a mess up on August 1, where arena rotation kinda happened, only SoU wasnt included yet and some ppl got their runs retired (and got the ticket - i did) and some ppl didnt, it is a bit unclear, if we would get a ticket again. But as always, Blizzard cant really afford to retire runs and give no compensation, so i believe you are safe to do this "trick" regardless.

New arena rotation will include following sets:

• Basic
• Classic
• League of Explorers
• Journey to Un'Goro
• Kobolds & Catacombs
• Rastakhan's Rumble
• Saviors of Uldum

Friendly Neighborhood Gladiator: if you plan on leaving the arena at 0-0, might as well play two games and concede to two players getting some positive karma :) You will get the same rewards for 0-0 and 0-2.

Almost every class has a guaranteed board clear, except mage. Why? According to Blizzard, the mage should excel in AOE. Is AOE something different from a guaranteed board clear? I do not understand. Any1 has ideas about this?

As we all know things in HS don't always work the way we assume so this thread can serve as a hypothesis pool for mythbusting the Reborn keyword.. 

I'll start by asking two:

1- does a buffed up or transformed ( Jepetto Joybuzz , Barnes , Crystal Core ) reborn minion come back as the original card? .

2- are there cards that would interact with the resummoned minion (crystal core v/s Sword of Justice and High Priest Amet )

I don't see the normal slide down option next to your profile. i can click on it and go to my profile, but i can't find a logout option anywhere.

The weird thing is that it seems to be only on internet explorer. When i login on Microsoft Edge, or Google chrome i do see the button and i can login/logout.

Also, when on internet explorer it keeps saying: "Failed to load plugin: hearth from url https://almost.outof.cards/static/b2.120/tinymce/js/tinymce/plugins/hearth/plugin.min.js" in the leave a comment section. Also when you post a comment on internet explorer it tries to download some kind of text document, instead of posting the comment. When you reload the browser page it however does show that the comment has been posted. This may result into the scenarios of: "i'm trying to post this comment 10 times, only to find out i apparently did post it..... 10 times without notification of it posting" And "Ugh it just will not post after 10 tries, i'm giving up.... Meanwhile you spammed a thread with the same comment without knowing it posted"

This is all only on internet explorer as far as i have tried, all other browsers work correctly, so i don't know how much there can be done about this. I hope i have given enough information about the problems! (Haven't seen a thread about this yet, but i hope i'm not repeating already known problems)

I've recently watched Thijs play this new freeze mage deck on his youtube channel in top 200 legend, is there any cards from the new expansion that seems like a good addiction? I'm yet to craft this but just wondering.

This is the deck code.

AAECAf0EBsUEuAju9gLG+AKggAOKngMMigGcAskDqwTLBJYF4Qf7DL7sAsP4AoOWA5+bAwA=

Someone told me that if you start an arena run right, stop at 2 losses then when it expires cause of new rotation you will get a free arena pass? That true ? 

I'm going to be rolling with Reno Rogue since I've already been using it, but the double Zephrys the Great due to Valeera the Hollow's effect sounds pretty sweet as well. Reno Hunter has been pretty fun in the past, but some form of Reno Warrior might be interesting as well.

Do you like giant Blubber Barons?  Oh who am I kidding, of course, you (forgot this card existed) do!

If you want to make some Big Blubbery Bois that could down a Deathwing, look no further than this deck!

Hey there!

Im a sucker for big buff and high cost minion and absolutely love Colossus of the Moon but I'm afraid I havent found much use for it.

I am trying to fit it into a Plot Twist Deck that includes the new Warlock quest to possibly get a "cheap" 10/1 with divine shield or a free big boi in the late game.

Another option I tought of was a Zoolock Deck that tries to pull buff stuff out with Darkest Hour though it seems very weak to boardclears.

What are your ideas? Im thrilled to hear any opinion on this! 

This topic serves as an information hub about the current (and past) Arena rotation.

With the first expansion in Year of the Dragon, Rise of Shadows, rotating drafting pool for Arena was introduced. Card sets are selected from both Standard and Wild. Prior to this, Arena was using Standard-only drafting pool. Now drafting pool for Arena changes every few months.

History Log

Do you think battlecry shaman is going to be OP AF next expansion? From what I am seeing so far it wrecks every other deck that was built in the SoU beta these past couple of days. Might just be the well deserved counter to warrior, especially bomb warrior since it's gonna be all over ranked to grind singleton decks.

What do you think?

You'd pretty much run a mecha'thun style draw package / super control package, but you have a 28 damage combo. I know it's not ******Strictly****** an OTK but lets be honest most of the time at this stage in the game you've dealt 2 damage. If you're going to run emporer for the package then you can do 32 damage with a heroic strike and the whole combo discounted

X2 on then

You would need a coin / thaurissan mana discount as this is an 11 mana 4 card combo, you just need to discount grom / mercenary for 1 mana

No, but you can ticket Blizzard support and ask them to refund your purchase because you won a community giveaway and the code cannot be redeemed because you had already pre-ordered. They should understand the situation and go through with it.

Hi

  So it´s again me taking something deemed bad looking if there might be at least some fun (which includes winning) deck to make out of it.

Warrior quests looks like one of the least liked. Weapon warrior never realy worked for a long time.

So lets start trying a rush version.  Even if there will be better decks out some change is always welcome.

Deck ID Not Found

Heya,

With the coming of Zephrys the Great, I was thinking of playing some variant of Reno Priest in wild. This would involve crafting some key legendaries including Raza the Chained and Kazakus. I understand Razakus Priest isn't what it once was, but could it still be a tier 2/3 deck?

Thanks y'all.

Is there a way in HS deck tracker, to archive unused decks automatically?

i want only decks to show up, which i have in my hearthstone list, not all, i ever played.

thanks.

<3

Does anyone know if you can stack the old quests with the new ones? Or do they have to be achieved separately? Can you even have two in the same deck?

As of now we have Quest cards, and Hero cards that have been added since the game launched. SoU will be the second expansion to show case Quest Cards. When creating custom cards it's often a challenge for me to either introduce a new card type, or a new mechanic in general. Do you think that the game of Hearthstone itself is self limiting to new mechanics/cards?

If you boil it down enough, Reborn becomes 'Deathrattle: Summon this minion with one health remaining.' which really isn't a mechanic but rather a rewording of an existing mechanic with an additional effect.

I ask because it's often difficult to come up with something that is absolutely a new concept to the game. [Hearthstone Card (Jaraxxus) Not Found] was the first 'Hero card' in the game but was also considered a minion so I don't know if it falls into that category.

And another question comes to mind. would the game benefit from big end turn minions like similar to the Old Golds for the wow factor?

It's a just for fun deck that I have been using casually in Wild for quite a long time now.

I also wrote a fanfiction based on the deck. The story follows 'The Spider Queen', a powerful Aranasi, who had escaped Sargeras to Azeroth at some point. She was weakened and fell into a slumber. She joins force with Myra Rotspring, who is fascinated by her power, and believes that she is destined to assist The Spider Queen in defending Azeroth from Sargeras, and Blenda, a Mistress of Mixtures, who is Myra's only assistant. 

Please visit the deck page to read the story. English is not my first language, but I'm trying my best here.

hey guys, 

while waiting for the next expansion I thought about a wishlist with cards I really want to have. 

So you Could wishlist the cards and maybe cross check it After the Expansion hit with the „in development“-feature/plugin for HDT. 

what do you think?

Hello guys, I'm designing an expansion and I needed your help of sorts. I need a named untamable god/demigod beast for Hunter. It doesn't need to be in the game, I mean it can be a legend in some ancient books or something. It needs to be source of inspiration for hunters. Like how Druids revere Malorne (I really don't know much if they don't revere :) ).

Do you know any ? If it can be a bird-kind or a beauty symbol it will fit more for the theme :)

Hi everyone.

As the title suggest, I recently came up with this idea while scrolling down the list of new cards we'll get to play with in a few days.

We've been constantly getting support for such an archetype, and I also tried to make this work (although with another class, Paladin) after Rise of Shadows release, without much success. However, I think this time we've received enough payoff in order to (at least) try this deck.

You want to mulligan for your low cost/synergistic minions (Electrowright and Garden Gnome above all) and close the game with King Phaoris. In case you got bad minions or your opponent cleared the board, you can always Flobbidinous Floop a second wave of high costed stuff. 

I even added some broken mech interactions in order to carry you through the mid game and being able to get to turn 10 without being in a dangerous spot.

To be fair, I have doubts regarding some possible inclusions/combo/tech cards, so I'd really like to read your opinion.

I made an arena run a couple of weeks ago, and left it after 2 loses. and then yesterday I got a notice that it would be expiring in 4 days. So my question is, will I get a full refund if I keep it? or should I finish it? usually there is a full refund whenever a rotation happens in arena, but I have not heard anything about that.

Hey all,

I've been thinking about the decks that contain an amount of big minions, because I am heavily inspired by Colossus of the Moon.

With this card, I guess I'll look forward to any deck that is not a competitive deck either. So any cool synergy would work. I haven't played big decks for a quite long time. So I know that there are certain classes that love to go big! I could see them as:

Shaman with Eureka! and more.

Mage with Luna's Pocket Galaxy (and more?).

Priest with Resurrection and more.

Paladin with Duel! (and more?).

Warrior with The Boomship and more.

Druid with Jungle Giants, and Astral Communion.

Warlock with a new Quest? Doubt it.

Hunter and Rogue won't say yes to the big guy.

Here is the main reason why I wanted to go BIG again :). The old Astral Communion photo I've found:

Do you think Big warrior and druid with big archetypes could be still a great deck? Because I would play them if they are good, or...

Is it possibly a trap? Because I honestly wanted to try these two decks.

If you think they are not great, suggest me an alternative way to play Colossus of the Moon. Give me more surge to play this card if you can!

EDIT: Another main reason I forgot to mention: send him in early turn or give him rush effect, and he will be at peak of his ultimate power that you shouldn't underestimate it, only a few big decks can do these ways!

Bonus: Dimensional Ripper will give you two unremovable copies of this big minion, only its weakness is transformation effect, and he doesn't care about AoE silence either. Except Plague of Death and Plague of Murlocs, pray that control shaman won't be a common thing.
