Competition Theme: New Upgrade Available

Sometimes you just want your card to be a little bit better - so let's set about making some upgrades!

• You must create a card which can upgrade under certain conditions
  • Think of cards like the Spellstones or the Schemes for inspiration
• Mechanics which upgrade cards (like Corrupt or Infuse) are not allowed
  • We're all about self-improvement here - no shortcuts allowed!

BloodMefist has tasked us with a bit of self-improvement this week, so make sure your cards are up to the task!

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

Discussion Thread Rules

Additions & Changes

General

• Moved articles to new URL paths.
  • There was a lot of work done to ensure all our old links would forward to the correct location, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone discovered a one-off issue here or there.
  • All our articles are now classified under "news" on the site now, instead of their game-specific paths.
  • Keeping things game-specific ended up being a bad design decision.
• Article themes are now gone.
  • This has been this way for a bit now with our article header overhauls, but now we're no longer serving theme information at all with our articles. This doesn't really matter for 99.9% of people.
• Added new cache functionality to our BBCode to provide speed improvements.
  • We're currently only live with this for Hearthstone as a "live beta test".
  • Other BBCodes will move over to our new internal structure in the future.

Mercenaries

• Added a new party tag for "Event".

Bug Fixes

General

• Fixed an issue where logged-out users were encountering a server error when trying to create a new thread on the forums.
• Removed references to RSS feeds in places where we don't support RSS feeds.

Hearthstone

• Fixed an issue where multiclass cards would not always appear in the deckbuilder.

Magic the Gathering

• Fixed an issue where some of our cards didn't have images.

Known Issues

• This morning we had an issue with comments on the site.
  • As of right now, this issue has been resolved though some content may take some additional time to uncache.
• FIXED Hearthstone Subportals (Duels, Mercs, Battlegrounds, Fan Creations) are currently erroring.
• Firefox users who have private browsing permanently enabled cannot use the Hearthstone deckbuilder.
  • Due to how we load data for the deckbuilder, Firefox's private browsing mode doesn't let you use IndexedDB.
  • There is an incredibly tiny percentage of people that might have this enabled. I don't currently plan to offer a workaround.
  • Firefox has had an open issue to support it for 10 years now, all the other browsers support it in their private browsing modes by using an in-memory version that doesn't persist data to disk, losing the data on exit.

Those who knows me, know that I meme a lot and I never play meta decks and only my lists.

But my God is deep just a frigging house right now.

Does really well into Aphelio, Annie, and Bard card piles which is essentially 90% of the meta or feels like it.

Just the fact that combo oriented lethals have been scaled back, such as thralls being a big predator for the deck.

Means u can just turbo deep everytime, eat their Champs, mill their decks, dominate the board etc.

I said that undergrowth being a 3 off made this deck insane, but I even run the full set of tenticle smash, and vile feast.

It makes it very hard for the opponent to start picking up tempo, and make optimal plays meanwhile every death, every card drawn, every creature played, or piece of removal used just fuels your winncon.

Give it a shot if u want to be the hard-core type.

None of the existing tags really fit for events (like the current Yogg event): I considered "farming" or "achievement hunting", but neither really applies. It would be nice if a party could be tagged as designed for an event. Ideally the event + task could be selected, similar to how Tavern Brawls are handled, but just a single "event" tag would already be an improvement.

In the Mercenaries deck builder, if I add Kazakus, Golem Shaper to the party, I get to choose from 6 pieces of equipment instead of 3. It looks like 3 of them actually belong to Kazakus, while the other 3 belong to Valeera. For the other five mercs in the party I was offered the right 3 pieces of equipment, so I'm assuming that the builder itself is working fine but there is some incorrect data in the DB used to populate it.

I stand by my argument that the buffs are exceptionally low impact.

But the nerfs that occurred essentially made the game playable again.

1. Disintegrate is now a 2 of

2. Barrier bro is lower impact.

3. Challenger rock bird is a formidable card

4. Buff drakes can't get overwhelm

5. Legion whatever was a dumb card

This means that while burst tricks still suck, you literally run 0 right now, unless you really need them for synergy

You can build decks fairly easily that follow the play scary things, removal, card advantage template and not get punished.

Or play aggro, or high synergy, or control, or midrange or whatever you want.

Brewing is viable again, vanilla stuff playable, and overall you can have fun.

Thank God.

Here's 3 decks for you to try that perform well:
