Schemes are new cards that upgrade each turn they lay in your hand. Save them for amazing effects!

Tech Options!

Evil Miscreants generate Lackeys, which are non-collectible 1-mana minions with powerful Battlecries.

The Lackeys

There are 5 uncollectible Lackey cards in this set. More will be added throughout the Year of the Dragon, and all will be available from cards that generate them.

Over the year, more Lackeys will be added into the pool, but for this expansion, there are only 5.

Back from the past, Forbidden cards are cards that have effects that vary depending on your mana.

First glance of the new expansion mechanic, Twincast!

When a spell with Twincast is played, it generates another copy of the spell in your hand. Similar to Echo, but it does not disappear at the end of your turn.

The great thief is back, with a bang!

Cooking up a storm, and a late-game answer against Fatigue Decks... if used carefully!

Kalecgos, the former aspect of the blue dragonflight, and part of Dalaran's Council of Six has joined the fight against the League of Evil.

Discuss about its effectiveness in the meta!

This will be an overview of important archetypes throughout the history of hearthstone. Updates are coming!

Beta:

Freeze mage

Frozen giants

Release:

Minion based mage

Secret mage

Nax

Deathrattle

GvG

Mechmage

BRM:

Flamewaker Tempo (machinegun)

Later:

No-quest Exodia, Quest Exodia, Giant Quest, Mill/Fatigue, Reno, Elemental, Aggro Freeze, Murloc, Odd, Odd Secret, C'thun, , Big Spell, Control

Some are probably missing but I find it interresting that mage has had every archetype represented, from the fastest aggro to grindy control and otk combo decks. The class has historically been weak at proactive midrange and controldecks, partly because the class had been relying on neutral minions from the midgame onwards. More reactive tempo playstyle decks have been viable several times, however, mainly because of strong secrets synergies and flexible burn spells like fireball and frost bolt.

Some archetypes have gone through big changes through expansions and nerfs, this will be explored more!

My wife got me to play this game with her reluctantly. I regret to admit that it is very fun and i keep playing it. I hate EA, but the developers are cool, as is the gameplay. I unlocked my first additional legend, Caustic, but i sort of wished i had chosen Mirage afterwards. Fortunately i read that Caustic is getting buffed. Anyway, has anyone else gotten into this lately.

Questions to those who enjoy building decks in Hearthstone:

• What sort of things lead you to construct the decks that you do?
• What are some common strategies and combinations that you really enjoy playing and iterating on?
• In the past, which mechanics or interactions really caught your attention and made you want to try them yourself?
• Do you prefer building new lists from the ground up, or iterating on existing archetypes?
• Has the meta ever influenced you to try building something new to counter it?
• When you get an idea, does it typically involve a particular strategy, or do you focus on a card you like to build around?
• Do you make use of tech cards often, or just play a particular list as is?

Questions to those who avoid deck building:

• What is it that you dislike about deck building, if anything?
• Has anything discouraged you from trying, or lead to you giving up at building a deck?
• What do you feel is the most intimidating or difficult part to building a viable deck?
• Do you find it more difficult to build decks in the constructed or arena game mode?
• What do you typically do when the weekly Tavern Brawl requires you to build a deck?
• What sort of tools or features do you think would motivate or allow you to build decks of your own design, if any?

The teasers have developed an interesting concept and it seems many are excited about the possibilities. Especially with the recent leak of Dalaran on one of the cards, there's a lot of talk about Violet Hold. I for one have a good feeling about the direction they are going with the lore of these new sets. Any bold predictions before they spill the beans?

Hi there,

there's a standard version of mech hunter which already shows some promise in the current meta:

It won't lose much with the rotation and I'm planning to give it a real try on ladder once the new expansion hits. This deck snowballs pretty fast and has quite some burst potential even if you lose the board several times. As usual with hunter, draw is an issue which can at least partially be solved with Cybertech Chip. As long as mass silence is not a thing, I'm very optimistic to make this work!

What do you think? Any ideas how to further improve the deck?

Another day, another set of improvements to HearthStation!

I know the site is obviously still in Beta stages, many more things need to be added (like being able to edit my profile as a user and change my avatar :P) and this is just another opinion, but wanted to make you guys know mine as a very long time user and great fan of Hearthpwn and its community. :)

The site looks pretty good so far, love the color scheme, the "atmosphere" in general, and especially Derpcorn, hehe. :P I'm not a super fan of negative votes in forums and not being able to see which user/administrator gave me an upvote or downvote, but I understand why you decided to implement this system in all places here and I hope it's for the best. I really love this initiative on your part, I think it's fantastic to have a new and more organized place for our beautiful community and I wish you sincerely the best of the best (yeah, Rasmay Bolton's numer one fan can be honest from time to time too XD).

I've pushed updates to the site this evening to fix some issues and implement new features.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a problem with images overflowing the containers they are inside.
• Fixed a problem with YouTube and Twitch video players overflowing the containers they are inside.
• Fixed the display of unpublished content in the guides section. We can't have that!
• Fixed an issue where clicking on the vote score for an option would refresh the page.
• Removed card classes from filters on the Deck and Card listings that do not contain collectible cards.

Changes

• Site content editor now respects your browser's spell checker.
• Class images have been added to homepage deck listings and the deck listing.
• Removed the 10 character requirement for posting comments.

New Features

• Some pages have been upgraded in their mobile-friendliness. They now have special sub navigation that lets you switch between content!
  • The homepage on mobile now defaults to "News" with an accessible sidebar of "Decks & Forums".
  • Deck detail pages on mobile now default to  "Guide" with an accessible "Deck List".
    • Developer Note: I'd like to make the Deck List the default view in the future if the guide portion is empty.

came here from flux's signature. seems like some kind of curse insurgency

forum buttons are too big and they should be vertically organized

needs some lighter background colour somewhere

otherwise looks good 👌
