So there is a lot of weaving going on in Priest lately with the Veilweaver-bloodweaver-Rally combo that generates tons of spells and discounts them.
It sure can be pretty fun to generate spells and sling those cards with multiple weavers on the board but I see the same "misplay" again and again.

Do you guys agree that playing a Renew with a single veilweaver only to generate a random card is a misplay? You essentially trade a card, you consciously put in your deck for a random one. Seems like a bad deal to me.

There are obviously exceptions:

- Multiple veilweavers
- Desperation for a clear
- Lots of spare mana with a light hand

But i've seen way to many priests throw away their renews for the sake of a random card.

Does anyone know how does Vectus' Whelps work with Aegwynn's Deathrattle effect? Do those Whelps then make other minions you draw inherit the Whelp's powers, like any enchantments it gets (ex. Lifesteal or Rush)?

Clefthoof the card you summon four times with Nagrand Slam usually doesn't have card text. They're plain 3/5 that only attack immediately because of the text on the spell, not because of any card text on the Clefthoofs. However, I just discovered that when you gain control of an opponent's Clefthoof by using Silas Darkmoon it gains Rush as card text. And yes, you can also immediately attack with it, tho I didn't because I misplayed and missed lethal as this interaction came as a total surprise to me.

Haven't tested it, but I'm assuming this works with Initiation, Mind Control, and similar cards too.

Thought I let you all know in case you ever feel the need to steal your opponent's Clefthoof.

Symptomatic of LOR's mini set release schedule, is a general lack of long term viability.

For example Shurima needs something like two more mini sets before its actually interesting beyond the archetypes that are quite well known at this point. (Renekton overwhelm, Nassus slay, Azir swarm, landmark Thalyiah)

Nobody really cares about Sivir with her feeling a bit like a worse Zoe, it doesn't help that reputation in Shurima isn't a thing yet.

Soooo to pass the time I've been playing genshin impact. It's pretty fun but it's designed to absolutely destroy your wallet on a massive scale...don't say I didn't warn you

I don't know about the others, but this "problem" is on my mobile. So, when you added "go to the first page" button, then all this stuff moved to the right and now it's not convenient to press the button of the last page. That's how it looks:

Being on the last page this panel is also slightly behind the screen:

This is a bit of a lame topic, but I made a bunch of cards based around adages from where I live. Appart from commenting my cards, I would really love it if you shared cards based around adages from your home country/region, so that we can learn a bit from each other's cultures and expand our worldview a little bit :)

I picked three adages in Spanish and two in Catalan, since both of this languages are spoken in my home region.

Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda.

A qui es burla, el dimoni li furga.

Al que madruga, Dios le ayuda.

Li diu el mort al degollat: qui t'ha fer eixe forat?

En abril, aguas mil.

I hope you enjoyed this small selection of cards and the explanations of their flavor. As I said early, I'm looking forward to see similar cards from adages in other languages :)

From https://www.pcgamer.com/legends-of-runeterra-has-quietly-become-the-best-multiplayer-card-game/ :

League of Legends spin-off Legends of Runeterra was already a great card game when I first reviewed it last year. It borrows enough from Magic: The Gathering to be familiar, while also innovating with fantastic ideas like mana that can be banked for later turns and powerful Champion cards with unique abilities that also level up as a reward for playing to a specific strategy. But, hoo boy, has it changed a lot in the year since—and all for the better. It's gotten fantastic new game modes, hundreds of new cards with unique abilities, and a progression system that still is ridiculously generous. I just want to shout it from the rooftops: Legends of Runeterra is the best multiplayer card game. Flat out. 

This week I rerolled the "deal x dmg to minions in BG" to get  "finish top4 in bg". I rerolled that into "spend 500 mana". Now I rerolled another quest (5 wins BG, Duels, TB) and got "deal x dmg to minions in BG" AGAIN!

I can't play BG. All my clients (mobile, Windows VM) are so slow that the rope is halfway done, when I enter Bob's Tavern. 

I know that some people play only BG and they are happy about that. That should not be changed. But if they don't play ranked then they can reroll this into sth. which isn't ranked quest. But as non BG-player you can't avoid BG quests! Why are BG rerolls not rerolled into non-BG-quests?

Like it says in the title, this is my crossover creation, bringing Legends of Runeterra's champions, Landmarks, and other cards to Hearthstone. Some will be rather literal translations, but many will be reinterpretations of what was originally presented. I've only just started today (4/20/2021), so bear with me :) Eventually it is my hope to make a "Runeterra x Hearthstone" expansion as well, moving Hearthstone characters to Runeterra.

A big thanks to Demonxz95 for his Legendaries of Runeterra Weekly Card Design Competition theme, which directly inspired me to expand the project beyond just my one Lissandra card. I started by writing down my general idea here, on this sticky note:

Champion placement is mostly gameplay-related, with the rest down to personal preference (like placing the three Freljord "sisters" in Shaman, or all three Ascended in Paladin). I chose to implement the Dual-class cards to make things more interesting, but I kept the original Scholomance combinations out of simplicity.

The Champions

I don't have the non-Legendaries created yet - let alone all the Legendaries in general - so I'm just gonna list what I have here for now and clean it up as I continue.

Landmarks

Landmarks have become a major part of Legends of Runeterra, so I felt I should at least try to implement them. Hearthcards has the unique "Locations" feature, so I figured why not utilize that? Landmark is a keyword, so I can mess with it via Taliyah and other cards. Hopefully this description makes sense:

Essentially, when you play a Landmark, it counts from 1 to 2 to 3 before it goes away, triggering each effect at the appropriate time. 1 is a Battlecry, 2 is at the start of your next turn, and 3 is at the start of the turn after that. For example, here's my sole Landmark so far, the Vaults of Helia:

(It's supposed to be a Warlock/DH card, but DH is not implemented for Locations so I had to make do.)

As the Vaults of Helia card progresses, it shuffles more and more Soul Fragments into your deck. Pretty straight-forward...at least I hope so.

Closing

This is what I've got so far; thank you for giving it a look-over, and a double-thank you if you decide to leave a comment. Feedback is always appreciated, and keeps me motivated to continue!

So I am currently completing all Lab of Legends quests and it´s a lot of fun.

However, there is one thing that annoys me a little. At the start, you choose the first buff which usually will be an epic one because obviously they give the biggest value in the majority of games. Since they don´t occur as often, you have no choice but to perma spam forfeit and start again, until you get the buff you want. 

Now I am wondering why Rito isn´t just letting people choose the first buff, because you end of rerolling 100x anyway, for what you need. That would save a lot of time and makes more sense, in my opinion. 

What do you think?

After so many years, i got legend! I'M SO HAPPY!

Competition Theme: Legendaries Of Runeterra

Warcraft isn't the only game out there with interesting characters! Let's see if we can't champion another one this week, yeah?

• You must create a Legendary minion which depicts a Champion from Legends of Runeterra

Our very own Demonxz95 wants us to expand our horizons this week and delve into the world of Legends of Runeterra for our cards.

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

No thread rules were added to this season. Please populate and manually edit this thread with them.

I understand that the video ad is important for the site's revenue.

Even though having it pop up over and over on every new page is extremely annoying, I would be willing to ignore that if it was not so damn hard to close it on a phone. As it is now, every time I accidentally return to the main page, there's a little voice in my head telling me to never visit this site again.

Please, just increase the size of the X.

So Rush Warrior has been doing very well, you can just pull the best list off of HSreplay.

There's also apparently this new Tempo Mage deck making the rounds that's sort of a minion-based Spell Damage deck, but on HSreplay it still shows up under the regular Spell Damage MAge which has abysmal winartes because the most popular build is garbage while the new one actually has a positive WR.

Clown Druid is still around and is basically unchanged.

If you want statistically powerful decks you're gonna have to wait until Thursday for the VS Data Reaper report.

Hi, I've been grinding Arena again recently and I find it basically impossible to win when going second, especially in a tempo matchup. Any tips for this?

Greatings!

I was playing around with a few priest ideas in Casual and encountered two weird interactions:

1) Insight (Non-Corrupted) + Far Watch Post

You'd expect the card drawn by the former to be taxed by the latter, but the card was 'taxed' (the animation went of and the increased cost was shown) but then the card went back to normal (and I was able to play it at the inital cost). I'm not sure if this is a bug for Far Watch Post or a feature of Insight - I wouldn't've doubted the interaction if Insight had been corrupted.

2) Serena Bloodfeather + Silver Hand Recruit (or maybe any 1/1 for that matter)

Pretty sure this is just bad coding, as the former says 'until', but Serena Bloodfeather actually kills 1/1s. Neither attack nor health are strictly higher, nor is the overall stat-count. I still have no idea how Serena works - but I'm confident it's not intended like this :D

So I just opened a level 13 vault but it didn't contain a champion wildcard for some reason and I also didn't get a random champion in its place (vaults of level 5-9 should contain a random champion, vaults of level 10 or higher should contain a champion wildcard instead).

Did anyone else experience the same thing?

First, what are those red currency things?

Also, what are hero levels and why should I care?

What are those new boxes?

Also what are those things that look like Expedition tokens?

THx.

I imported my brawl deck for this week, but while I could tell the Deckbuilder that it is a Tavern Brawl deck, I couldn't tell it which brawl it is for. I'm pretty sure this feature existed before and it is probably required for the site to suggest decks for the current brawl.

Also I don't know how to make them actually golden, if someone tells me I will make them all shiny.

In two different games I've played Deck of Lunacy and encountered some issues with spell cost and other cards that should have changed the cost of the spells. I know there were issues previously with cards that were shuffled back into the deck or otherwise manipulated via Secret Passage, but I've never seen this one before.

The first was with Celestial Alignment. I played the card and happened to have minions and spells in hand. The minions were properly reduced to 1 mana, but the spells, all of which had been previously altered by Deck of Lunacy, retained their DoL mana cost. I did not have the chance check to see if this was a display bug or an actual spell cost bug.

The second was with Power Word Fortitude. Again, I had the spell generated by DoL, which made it a 5 cost spell. It is supposed to reduce in cost by each spell in hand. I had many spells in hand which should have reduced it to 1 or 0 mana cost, but it remained at 5. I did not try casting it to see if it was a display bug or not.

Here are some links to replays on HS Replay that show what I'm describing.
Celestial Alignment bug, look at turn 9

Power Word Fortitude bug, look at turn 6 and later

It's not exactly scientific or anything, but the ONLY difference I have personally noticed is that Rogue has been replaced with Control Warlock (as predicted).

This is not an improvement. WTG, Blizz.

Alright, so after the nerfs hit I decided to go back to ladder and finish my climb to Legend that I had to stop at Diamond 2 because the 50/50 Mage/Paladin spread made it impossible to consistently win.

In order to prove to myself that I'm good at evaluating cards I picked No-Minion-Mage without the nerfed Deck of Lunacy because I was sure it was still a very potent deck that performs well against just about most decks (outside of super aggro).

Turns out I wasn't only correct, but also an overwhelming majority of players decided to target the freshly nerfed Paladin by bringing Control Warlock...which gets absolutely trounced by N-M-Mage because you just have more burn than they have healing.

Long story short: Out of 10 games 9 were Warlock. I lost only one of those due to abysmal draws (turns out picking picking a third Incanter's Flow from Runed Orb instead of Rigged Fair Game with an empty hand was a bad choice, who knew) and one against a cheeky Face Hunter who obviously steamrolled me.

Baseline: Everyone plays Warlock to hunt Paladin, but there is no Paladin because all of them already made it to Legend, so either play MAge to farm Warlock or play Hunter to farm the Mages farming Warlock (and also farm the Warlocks because Face Hunter is poggers).

Good luck, I'm going back to failing to make Big Demon Demon Hunter work.

so anyone tested if piercing shot does more damage to the enemy hero with Mo'arg Artificer ? i dont have him and dont want to make him just for the test. XD

I have 3 mana, I play the Coin followed by Scabbs Cutterbutter and his combo is activated. I play Sparkjoy Cheat for free, which casts a secret from my hand, then all my other cards go back to their normal cost. The secret cast by the Sparkjoy counted as a discounted card from Scabbs and I was unable to play another card. That has to be a bug, right?

And fear not loyal readers, I still won the game!
