Good luck to the moderators with the new site! Hope it will one day be a worthy successor to the previous site, cheers!

I've loved most of the villain heroes for the heist. Some of them are far and away the best for their class. In particular, Ol' Barkeye, who's just a lot of fun and a great concept, and Squeamlish, who is so cute and endearing, she doesn't even seem like a villain at all, just mislead by EVIL.

I really wish that the real reward for beating all chapters on heroic would have been to pick one of the heroes to use in other modes. Or, better yet, beat every chapter on heroic with a hero and keep them. That would be amazing!

Anybody else have favorites so far?

EDIT: Just fought Bonepaw with Squeamlish. He did his, "The bad guys are here!" intro and Squea, in a confused, somewhat hurt voice, responded with, "Me am not... bad guy..." :(

Any threads you know on this site or any other that has gold trading?

Ok, so I was browsing some decks and I was spamming the "Updated" tab in the upper column only to realize that decks cannot be arranged by date, cost nor score. This would be super convenient imo. Thanks in advance! :)

Hey!

I can't seem to find Astromancer in the deckbuilder. 

.

Do you think it is worth to craft it?

Mainly for Wild Even Paladin (as a sort of anti-meta deck, trying to mimic the role of Even Warlock and/or Even Shaman in some way), but not exclusively that.

Ebon Dragonsmith is also a card btw. It generates a neat (1) mana discount between itself and the weapon.

Right now we need a way to tell if a deck is in standard or wild when viewing decks. I know you can just hover over a card in the deck you're browsing but not everyone knows what expansion certain cards come from.

Thanks

Greetings everyone I think most of you are aware how Artifact has become a meme at this point but many of us were at least interested in the game before and a little after its release. I can say I have played card games quite a bit for over 15 years of life; around half of my life. This was maybe the first card game that was heavily hyped that I knew was going to fail within 3 days of playing the game. After playing all the modes and paying close attention to card design I quickly realized that this game was going to be a disaster and I should sell my cards.

Within the first 3 days I sold most of my expensive cards I got from my packs and made my money back and more. I happened to open Axe and a few others. People were thinking it was going to be the new biggest thing and playing the market. With my card game experience I knew it was going to fail flat on the floor. Many people think it failed because Valve got greedy and charged 20 dollars and having no way to earn more packs in game unless you pay real money. But this is far from the truth and had nothing to do with why it failed.

1. People complain about RNG in Hearthstone but Artifact has the most RNG than any card game I have ever experienced. The direction your minions are attacking, the boards your minions show up on, the items listed in the store. I knew right away this was a huge problem in its design.

2. The 3 board system is a failure. The 3 boards add NOTHING to the gameplay value and is simply bloat to the game. Most games have so much RNG that 2 boards become almost irreverent. RNG wins you one board, RNG screws you one board, and you only really invest in 1 board. Majority of your resources and time is mostly invested in 1 board while another board maybe gets 1 or 2 spells played on it per game. This is bloat of the worst kind and it doesn't make a better experience for anyone.

3. The game has the most simple card design every created. Lets take a game like Magic the Gathering, 1 color is able to do the job of many roles. For example RED is not simply aggro but could have great control cards or card advantage in different forms of play. Artifact is so stupidly simple every color basically has 1 mechanic. If you want this mechanic you have to play its color. If you want to generate lots of gold you need to play black, if you want to control you need to play Blue, with you want strong heroes you need to play Red etc.

4. This game was HEAVILY advertised for draft and not competitive constructed play. There isn't even a ladder on release. The problem with this is DRAFTING IS HORRIBLE due to the 2nd reason. The game is so simple and has such simple mechanics you don't draft for deck synergy. Where as Hearthstone Arena synergy is extremely important this game has no synergy of any kind. If you see a great card YOU PICK IT. If you see an AXE you pick it 100% of the time period.  This is the core reason the game failed. It's main advertised mode has maybe the worst drafting I have ever seen.

Please contribute your ideas on your experience with Artifact.

Are you one of the triumphant? 

Or like me; are you someone who has come so agonisingly close, but fallen with meerly two games to go?

I'm not sure there's an actual poll feature available as of yet, but for now a simple Yes (followed by the Class you succeeded with) or No will do! 

I put Dire Frenzy on a Vicious Scalehide and played Master's Call in the same turn but it only draws one Vicious.

How come not three Beasts? I'm running only Beasts in my Midrange Hunter deck.

Can't edit original post; sorry! Just sharing the wonder of getting the passive that gives you the Death Knight hero power and the passive that lets you use your hero power twice. I got the Paladin Death Knight power.

Short game!

Innkeeper is a decent addon for Twitch viewers, and I assume it will fall obsolete soon after its shutdown, so will there be a replacement for it in the future?

I cant see a report/flag a post button. Not that its needed just yet, but I think it will be helpful in the future.

Do any of you guys actually pay for Premium access to HSREPLAY?

I like to make home-brew decks. So, most of the time, I can't find to choose an archetype that fits my deck. While Hearthpwn lets me do that, in here, I have to choose an archetype that doesn't fit the theme of what I created. Can you add "Unknown" to Archetype selection so that I can save my deck without any "problem"?

Hello there! I had an interesting bug while porting my deck from Hearthpwn (R.I.P) to OutOfCards. Then, I tried on blank template, and realized the issue was related to OutOfCards. Here's the problem: I wanted to change the font-type of a paragraph from Arial to Verdana. Despite my all efforts, the font type didn't change at all: I converted the section to Verdana, yet it showed that part as Arial. Some font types (Windings=Wingdings) work though, while some aren't. Could you check the bugged font-types?

Come to think of it, there are some font types I wish to see. It would be nice if you add Calibri and OpenSans, especially the latter because I used to write my deck-guides with that font types in Hearthpwn, which is clear/beautiful.

Also, thanks to all people who opened this site. You are all my hero <3

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/command-the-dreadhorde/

This deck seems to be getting some popularity right now, and since I pulled 2 [Hearthstone Card (Command the Dreadhorde) Not Found]s from my starter packs, I decided to start building towards it while I play other decks.

Anyone else tried this deck yet? Can you offer any thoughts on it? 
And deck strategies / tips for this one would be cool too. :-)

As the title suggests, if you go to your profile page and click either the Threads or the Decks button, you get redirected to a blank error page stating that the resource is not found on the server.

I wanted to review the deck I created yesterday so I went to my profile: https://outof.cards/members/drfelip

But, when I click "Decks", I get a "not found" error. Has anybody else had the same problem?

Looks like for now default password reset page (the one that is the user redirected to in email and requites to enter the new password) lacks https, so new user password is sent in plaintext and can be read by third parties.

http://outof.cards/accounts/reset/NDE2/{id} should be https instead, as http version redirects to

http://outof.cards/accounts/reset/NDE2/set-password/ where the password form is.

The perfect solution would be not only change email link, but also make http security related pages https only and redirect http GET requests to them.

Plaittext request contains the following body:  csrfmiddlewaretoken=TOKEN&new_password1=123456&new_password2=123456

so getting it the attacker can easily get new user password.

I've put together a collection of all secret cards in the game in one easy place to check if you're not sure what your opponent may have played or otherwise. There's a total of four classes in the game that have secret cards, and they will be presented here alphabetically, and with standard cards separate. Up to date as of Rise of Shadows.

If you are new to the game, we also have some guides on basic class cards along with some lore that everyone may enjoy here.

Wild Format FAQ

What is Wild format?

• Ranked Constructed
• Casual Constructed
• Tavern Brawl
• Adventures

Will newly released cards be available in Wild format?

Yes. All cards that are collectible in the game will be available for all Wild game modes.

Welcome to the Standard Forums!

Welcome everyone to the Standard Discussion Forum. This forum was created to facilitate discussion of the Standard format, the format that Blizzard has decided will be used for Hearthstone Championship events going forward.

Please use this forum to discuss anything and everything with the Standard format. We ask that all threads in this forum are kept constructive in nature. Non-constructive threads will be deleted upon notice and the poster will be given a formal warning.

If your post is simply an image, or an image with a line of text, it probably isn't going to be creating any thought-provoking discussion. Add some meat to it!

Current Set Rotation

In standard, only the newest cards are in play! Each standard year consists of up to 6 card sets; the latest releases, as well as the basic and classic card pools. For a detailed look at how Standard works, check out our guide!

Additionally, a new pool was created as of the Year of the Mammoth known as the Hall of Fame. This set is restricted to Wild format as well. Cards currently in this set can be viewed on our Hall of Fame Guide!

Standard Format FAQ

How often will Standard format change?
Standard format will be updated with the first new Expansion released each year. When that happens Standard format will be updated to include card sets from the current and previous calendar year.  The Basic and Classic card sets are always part of the Standard format.

Why are Basic and Classic always part of Standard?
These cards serve as a foundation for Hearthstone. They help give Hearthstone its flavor, they have mechanics that are great for introducing new players to the game, and players who have taken a break can return to Hearthstone confident that they’ll be familiar with these cards.

What is the Year of the Dragon?
The Year of the Dragon is a thematic way to refer to the first year of Standard format play. Next year, when the first new Expansion of the year is released, a new Hearthstone year will begin, Standard format will be updated, and a different beast will symbolize the year!

How will random effects work in Standard?
Random effects (including summoning random minions or cards, the Discover mechanic, transformations, or any other similar effects) will only summon cards that are eligible for the format you are playing. Thus, random effects in Standard will summon only cards that would be usable in the Standard format. All cards are legal in Wild format, so such effects will function as they always have.

Will Arenas use Standard format?
Arena has recently been modified to utilize the same Standard format as constructed! No wild cards here.

Will Tavern Brawls use formats?
Tavern Brawls have different rules each week, so some Brawls will be in Wild format, while others could be in Standard format, but they’ll all be crazy fun!

Will my Adventure decks be affected by the new formats?
Adventures will be in Wild format, thus allowing you to use your entire collection to build Adventure decks.

Can I play a Standard deck in Wild?
Yes! The Wild format includes your entire collection regardless of release date, including all of your cards that are usable in Standard format, so you can queue up for Wild using a Standard format deck directly.

Can I play Friendly Challenges in Standard format?
Yes! You will have the option to issue a Friendly Challenge using Standard or Wild format, and your opponent will only have the option to use decks of the appropriate format.

Are Standard cards labeled in the Collection Manager?
Individual cards are not labeled by format, though there will be visual cues in the Collection Manager to let you know whether you are building a Standard or Wild deck. There will also be a filter in the Collection Manager to display only Standard format cards.

Are the new deck slots only available for use with Standard decks?
You can use the new deck slots for either Standard or Wild decks. These extra deck slots become available after unlocking all nine Hearthstone heroes.

How will collecting cards work?
Adventures and Expansions that are part of Standard format will be available for purchase with gold or real money. Card sets that aren’t part of Standard format won’t be available for purchase from the in-game Shop, but you will be able to purchase them on battle.net website with real money or craft any of those cards using Arcane Dust, including cards from Adventures that previously could not be disenchanted or crafted.

How will purchasing Adventures work?
You will be able to purchase Adventures that are part of the current Standard format normally. Adventures that are not part of Standard can only be purchased with real money on battle.net website. If you already own at least one wing of such an Adventure, you’ll have the option to unlock the remaining wings using in-game gold.

Can I still craft or disenchant cards that aren’t part of Standard format?
Yes, you can craft or disenchant all of these cards—including cards from Adventures which previously could not be disenchanted or crafted—for their normal Arcane Dust value. This excludes Basic cards, which can never be crafted or disenchanted.

Note that you can also craft and disenchant cards from Standard format Adventures, as long as you’ve already earned them by completing the necessary challenges.

Will Reward set cards such as Gelbin Mekkatorque and Old Murk-Eye be part of Wild or Standard format?
All current Reward set cards, including Promo cards, will be restricted to Wild format.

When Standard format arrives, the Captain’s Parrot and Old Murk-Eye cards won’t be given for collecting their associated classic cards, but can instead be crafted (and disenchanted).

Acquiring the Promo cards Gelbin Mekkatorque and Elite Tauren Chieftain remains unchanged: the normal versions of these cards can still be crafted or disenchanted, while the golden versions were acquired via special events and cannot be disenchanted or crafted.

Which of my Ranks will be shown to my Battle.net friends?
Your current best Rank, whether Standard or Wild, will be automatically displayed to Battle.net friends.

Will Blizzard feature the top 100 Ranked players for both the Standard and Wild formats?
Currently, they feature the top 200 players for both formats.

Can I earn Hearthstone Championship Tour points by competing in Ranked in both formats?
No. Standard will be the only format that offers Hearthstone Championship Tour points for 2017.

Will all official Blizzard esports events be played in Standard format?
Yes. Standard is the official format of the Hearthstone Championship Tour and the Hearthstone World Championship.

Will any sets that leave Standard format become part of Standard again in the future?
There are currently no plans to add Wild format only sets back into the Standard format.

~~ This thread has been archived, for up to date version go here. ~~

This thread is to be a home for legendary crafting advice. If you are not sure which legendary you should craft next, this is the place to ask! We only recommend disenchanting golden versions of legendary cards until you know you will not buy more packs from the corresponding set. Keeping even the worst legendaries will increase your chance of getting a good one next time due to the no-duplicate rule. We will try our best to stay on top of the meta-game with updates, and hope this thread can be a valuable resource for new and veteran players alike to make better decisions with your dust!

Disclaimer: A tier list like this can never please everyone; the meta game is dynamic. If you think a card is in the wrong tier, please explain and provide links to deck lists or other data to support your claim.

Please note that some of the cards may not yet be craftable, and are received through adventures or rewards.
