We used to have this, right? 

Would be nice to see it again

How consistent have you found the card as a stand-alone or as a combo? I'm mainly asking hoping that as a combo it isn't too problematic in hopes that Mechwarper doesn't end up getting nerfed in wild.

Another site update has gone out. It focuses on the card listings and forum editor.

New Features

• Card Listings Redone
  • Like our deck listings, you can now sort columns on the card listing page.
  • The class filter now has a nice image interface and you can select multiple classes to sort by.
  • Mobile users will be able to properly make use of the filters.
  • Dev Note: I know people would like a "visual" way to view the card database. We're going to work on making that a reality.
• Forum Editor
  • Quotes are now styled in the editor.
  • Links are now styled in the editor.
  • New Colors!
    • Colors have been added to the text color picker for all the Hearthstone rarities.
    • We've also now got colors for Attack, Health, and Mana that match those used on the site.
  • Floats can now be usable in the editor. Useful for images that are right aligned. Sorry, Chimera!

Changes

• Signatures on the forums now have a darker border to separate them from the post content itself.
• Deckstring button on deck pages is now a different color than the other buttons to find it easier.
• Deckstring button on deck pages now states it is for "Deck Code" and not "Deck String" to be friendlier.
• Hearthstone Patches has been added to the Guides navigation. Thanks to the team for helping update all the old patch notes!
• Member profile deck pages now use the new, sortable deck listing page table.

Bug Fixes

• Patches in the deck page patch filter now sort correctly. (Newest first)
• Members with no last active date no longer appear in the member list.
• Entering a deck string where another website has encoded a card as using the internal cardid of 0 now ignore that non-existant card.
  • I know this was an issue for people trying to import SN1P-SN4P decks from HearthPwn before it was correctly flagged. Its a good long-term change to make because of card reveal periods.

Hi! I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but from mobile I can't leave a comment, tried with 2 smartphone in 2 articles but nothing, when clicking "leave a comment" nothing is happening

Hi, I wanna use my Amazon coins to buy the Masters bundle. I'm trying to log in on HS downloaded thru Amazon App Store, running in an Android emulator. HS closes and says there is an update available, please tap to update. But in the Amazon App Store there's no update available yet. It says HS is up to date. How long does it usually take to carry the update after it goes live?

So I've been messing around with the idea of dual type shaman decks for a little while now (I originally got the idea from the player "Heeljin" so props for that, and also for teaching me the value of magnetic).

There's loads of ways to do it, this is just one of them. 

I have one here that is part elemental/overload and part mech. It also has a slight token flavour to it, and by that I mean it is sticky. We have ways of making token death rattles, which is a very valuable ability in this meta. Soul of the Murloc can be added to make the deck even more sticky, then when combined with electra too, forget about it, something is sticking around to get buffed next turn for lethal.  Ideally though we want mech adds or elemental adds for this deck to take advantage of the synergies for buffing. 

other things I considered adding were things like hagatha the witch, although I do feel this deck wants to win before then. also maybe adding the new murloc would be great as having 2 activators is enough really to get value. Do you think Hench clan hag would be better than amalgam considering the token/buff/evolve aspect of the deck? (I honestly think amalgam is great here at getting a target to stick for magnetize, as they aren't expecting you to stick a mech on it at all. It's also a great target for earthen might)

anyway, the main goal for me here is to make something of my own, that is fun and has interesting gameplay, but also wins. I know the deck is viable as I've been playing renditions of it for over a month now, I'm just interested to see what other people think, and maybe learn a thing or 2 from each other. 

here is the link to my new version anyway. thanks for your interest, it's always appreciated (especially the negative comments. we can't learn from our mistakes, if we aren't even aware of them in the first place)

I have 2 EVIL Cable Rat cards in my arena deck. Neither is triggering a lackey when I play the card. Wish I'd known before making the deck!

Im soo happy guys, this is the best news ever!!!.

Lei Shen skin is the G.O.A.T

Maybe once you do this, you take away the option to post it publicly, but you can download the recipe for yourself? I think it'd be cool if I could make "craftable" deck recipes for my custom expansions. Maybe a little extra, but it's something that I'd love to do.

Just now my opponent played Tuskarr Totemic, and he did not get a token. and another game today, my opponent played EVIL Cable Rat and did not get a lackey. has anyone else noticed these missing tokens? or have I gained some super powers which stops my opponents from getting tokens?

Figured we should have a thread to share tips and strategies for the latest and IMO greatest solo adventure. Having a lot of fun with this one despite lots of losses! After hitting my head against the wall trying to beat chapter 1 on heroic, I finally managed it using an odd deck I didn't think would work. 

Class/Power/Deck: Mage, Burning Wit, BURN!

Treasures: EVIL Propaganda, Scepter of Summoning, Crystal Gem, Hyperblaster

Started trying to go for an inspire deck since you'll get lots of use out of the Burning Wit hero power, but after getting Scepter as my 2nd treasure I went for big minions. Ended up with a nice mix of big spells and legendary minions. Managed to get lucky and pull EVIL Propaganda as the spell to reduce cost in one of the bartender stages, and had a "reduce random card to zero cost" proc on a Sunreaver Warmage. Most fights were over quickly thanks to lots of removal and early play of big minions that were hard to deal with like Sneed's Old Shredder and Rhonin. 

Can't remember who I had for the first 6 bosses, but the last three were Ar'ha, Noz and Gallywix of course. Here's how I handled them:

Ranger Ar'ha was easy. I let her fill her board with 1 and 2 attack creatures, didn't kill the coin cache, and just went straight for face with my higher attack minions. She went for face too, but with such low attack minions she couldn't kill me first. Seems like her AI isn't coded to sacrifice her weak minions to make room for stronger battlecries.

Noz Timbertail was a tough fight early, but I managed to steal his board which included Shaku, the Collector using an early EVIL Propaganda. After that I played Giggling Inventor to protect Shaku and kept stealing his rogue cards which were great for keeping his board clear. I managed to get an Ogre Ninja which got the +2 attack from his hero power and that sealed the game.

Gallywix was very difficult. Had to be careful and play around his hero power by making sure the first card I played each turn was one I didn't mind him copying. Probably very obvious strategy, but when you play a regular coin as the first card he will copy that and replace it with a Gallywix coin. Helped me get out some good minions early. Ended up stealing a Burgly Bully with Sylvanas Windrunner later in the fight to gain some extra coins to bait out his hero power.

Hope this is interesting and/or helpful. Look forward to seeing other folks post their strategies! I'm working on Chapter 2 Heroic right now, will post back with more if there's interest.

They just announced a MTG TV Series for Netflix!

https://www.polygon.com/2019/6/3/18648018/magic-the-gathering-netflix-series-joe-anthony-russo

even tough im more a fan of Hearthstone right now i played MTG for almost 15 years and read lot´s of books about the Storys etc.

I excited to see some of the MTG Lore on TV - i would have prefered it more as an Real Life Adaption but i guess some sort of Anime/Animation is fine too - as long as they make it good :) :)

So far i'm excited! What do you think ?

So I wanted to try out some deathrattle stuff especially with the coming Necromechanic buff.

The deck has a slow start but powerful mid to late game so it struggles versus aggro as expected.. I plan to add powerful cards to it too.. so craft Sneed's Old Shredder , Sylvanas Windrunner or N'Zoth, the Corruptor ?

hello,

so me and my brother recently played some mtg together and we ran into a disagreement. i had swung at him for 60 with a 20/20 kalonian hydra https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=420771 and a 40/40 primordial hydra https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=253670 . he then proceeded to play polymorphist's jest https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=433022. his thought process was that because my hydras lose all abilities. that would include 1/1 counters. my thought process was that they wouldn't lose the 1/1 counters as counters are not an ability but the hydras would lose trample as those were abilities. 

my brother decided to find what he could about rulings on jest and found this passage "Polymorphist’s Jest overwrites all previous effects that set the creatures’ base power and toughness to specific values. Any power- or toughness-setting effects that start to apply after Polymorphist’s Jest resolves will overwrite this effect.". he took that to mean that the counters wouldn't affect the hydras again until the turn was over. i went to the same rules site (the one i shared) and found this passage "Effects that modify a creature’s power and/or toughness, such as the effect of Titanic Growth, will apply to the creatures no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for any counters that change their power and/or toughness and effects that switch power and toughness.". to me, that says the counters are still there AND still active but he read it to mean that the counters wouldn't work.

is there someone that can help me find an official ruling from a tournament or maybe some mtg arena gameplay with this interaction or has a ruling from an official? we even had my brother ask his friends (some of whom have  played since mtg started) and they were split on the issue.

I think this mage deck is a good enough tier 2 deck. The winrate i have with this deck until now is 7-1. It allows you to swing the game tide probably every time on turn 6 or 7, sometimes even turn 5. It has good control and grinding tools against aggro decks in wild. Not sure about the matchup with big priest, but sylvanas will help you win these games. The deck has a lot of healing, freezing, armor gain tools which allow you to get in turn 5 usually without a problem.  After the buffs today, you could also add Luna's Pocket Galaxy for extra spice and maybe change the deck a little. As many conjure's calling decks this allows for many manual modifications if you want. Check it out and i'm open to any ideas. Deck ID Not Found

Hey all, I'm in the middle of brainstorming an idea for a new deck, specifically for the Buffs that are dropping today. I love the idea of a Pogo Hopper Deck, but I don't know if there's enough card that synergize with it to build a whole deck around it. I've got the ground work created, but I'm open to any/all suggestions! Thank you!

I have posted in the past that MTG Arena is in a pale comparison to the table top version, which is still true, but I played it much much more and started to like it much more at the moment. Of course when I get home I'm going to go back to playing Hearthstone with the new buffs to cards but I have grown to love both games quite a bit now.

At first I found MTG Arena to be really expensive, and it still is, but the game really awards you much more than Hearthstone for playing more. Hearthstone only gets you 1 quest per day but MTG Arena can give you many rewards in one day. I have grown to really enjoy the constant wave of free packs from just playing the game. However it is extremely needed due to decks needing 4 copies of the same card and having no disenchant system in place.

I do wonder how they will handle the system when there is a new rotation of cards. Hopefully they implement a similar system to allow everyone access to certain cards for free and let people unlock new decks to add card their new collection.  Either way the new player experience on MTG Arena is a great experience and gives you a great number of cards to start you off. Hearthstone in comparison has a horrible new player experience. There is almost no way to actually make any somewhat viable deck with the tools they give you compared to Magic Arena.

After heavy use of both I have to give it to MTG Arena for new players. I've been giving an extremely biased position to Hearthstone and my endless resources and collection I have. I can honestly see Hearthstone going into a really bad place if they don't change the new player experience compared to the competition. 

However MTG Arena has a horrible meta at the moment compared to Hearthstone. Hearthstone at the current moment has the best meta compared to Duel links and MTG Arena. Once a rotation happens this might all change.

Every time there's a rotation in arena, the arena gets locked down way in advance. Presumably to prevent people from 'abusing' the compensation mechanism.

I have a pretty good run going, currently at 8/1. I want to keep playing, but it might be that afterwards the arena will be locked and I won't get the free ticket/pack. I feel that I am unjustly punished for actually playing arena.

People who play no arena can leave a run open for several days, they don't care. Still they get their free ticket+pack. This compensation mechanism is rigged towards the abusers.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone else has a "hearthstone persona" or "gaming persona" that you wouldn't ever tell your Friends and Family About!

• I exclusively t1-netdeck
• I spam emotes as soon as i feel like winning safe, while having Opponents autosquelched
• When someone adds me on bnet for whatever reason after a game, I pretype and copy stuff like "AHAAAHAHAHA time to uninstall loser xD", paste that and immediately unfriend before the other guy can answer
• I sometimes rope on Purpose after my turn is clearly over, generally when I am about to lose

So as you see I am clearly a toxic Player, but only so in hearthstone. I have no reasoning or Agenda for my behavior. I am generally a chill player, easy to communicate with in mobas, WoW raiding etc. 

It is neither "blowing off steam" nor making me feel superior, it's just "part of the game" for me. Maybe I encountered that behavior in opponents before and felt like it got to me, so I feel the urge to give it back. It boggles me though, as i dont feel like I am that kind of a narrow-minded Person in any other part of gaming or life in General.

What is it that makes hearthstone, and only hearthstone bring out the worst, most destructive and pathetic behavior in me? Is anyone Feeling similar?

Cheers

P.s: I know that showing self-reflexion and awareness of toxic behavior does not justify it by any means or redeem me in any way as a Player.

Context - I was playing token druid, opponent was on bomb warrior. I was rank 6, 5 stars; he was rank 5.

On turn 2, I went face instead of trading with his Loot Hoarder, allowing him a free trade with my Dire Wolf Alpha. I'm fully aware that this looks like a mistake, but against a warrior, it's extremely important to get in as much damage as possible as early as possible with token druid, due to board wipe potentials. So I know it looks foolish, but I do it anyways. He emotes, "That was a mistake." I think I muted him.

I do, in fact win the game. Apparently he didn't have board wipes. I think I emoted "well played," because I always do that. To me, it's meant to be a polite way to end a game. Am I crazy to think it's polite to end a game with "well played"? Should I just never emote? Anyways, here's what happened after the game. The filtered words are f-bombs. (Side note: I'm married and have two children.)

Edit: Apparently I am inept at using the image insertion feature. Basically he screamed at me for emoting and then unfriended. I friended him again to inform him he did first, and he screamed some more. Here's the image link: Screen Capture of the comments

I'm sure you're working on it , just wanting to know the ETA.

thanks

I just logged in on EU to get my daily, and I had a full quest log. I'm almost certain I was up to date with my log, and that I just got 3 quests at once today. 

Can anyone confirm/deny this, please?

I would appreciate if the deckbuilder automatically limited the copies of cards in a deck to 2, or 1 if a legendary, and wouldnt add more cards past 30 to a deck. I really dont want to have to go through every decklist I make to find out which cards I clicked one too many times.
