Hi,

I would very much like to contribute to outofcards/runeterra.

Master every Season, 7 Win gauntlets,.... .

Is there a good way to contribute?

Cheers,

Honestly I'm surprised they don't have any dredge like cards that use your graveyard as a resource. They have a ton of discard cards but nothing to bring back discarded cards outside of deep.

Cards like that would really help champs like Jinx be more viable. Also you could build decks that discard expensive heavy hitters early on only to bring them back later during the mid game like turn 5 or 6 for cheap.

You could also take that as a way to add mill cards and cards to discard cards your enemy has in their hand or deck and even use your dredge cards to take from their graveyard too.

Does anyone know what this turquoise teddy is?

I've noticed it in a few pieces of card and promotional art. Is it Warcraft lore-related, or a Hearthstone original "cute thing in spooky set"?

Hey everyone, I'm a diamond wild player playing exclusively Big Shaman... with a personal twist- Including two copies of Grand Archivist is a seemingly questionable move but so far it has been very powerful.

The reasoning is (and why my spells differ so greatly from other BS's) is that the only bad picks from the deck are casting Ancestral on an opponent's minion or an early Healing Rain. Lightning Storm can be a welcome pirate clear although the overload can be bad. Hagatha's, while ineffective, is still fine because it thins it out of the deck being that it is a bad top deck.

It has only happened once out of maybe 30 games that they have caused me to go into fatigue, but if you are facing a lot of control include only one of them. Big Shaman tends to stomp out far before it happens and a Eureka or Ancestral call being drawn is back-breaking.

It boggles my mind why I rarely run into another Big Shaman on the ladder! This deck is insanely enjoyable. Well worth your dust; the win percent is around 65%.

Look. I'm bored. You're bored. It's still about a week until the reveals start. So let'S have some fun speculating about things that probably will end up very differently anyways.

Now the new expansion brings us dual-class cards. We also already know all the 10 dual class combinations. Finally, we also know (basically) that there will be a legendary for each dual class combo which will be one of the teachers at the school.

The question is, how will these dual class cards (especially the legendaries) turn out?

Here's what we got so far:

Wand Thief: a basic minion with a Rogue keyword as the activator and a classic Mage staple of discovering a Mage spell (as opposed to just discovering a spell in general). It demonstrates the core philosophy of these cards of being a combination of two class specific previously established mechanics.

Lightning Bloom: Same principle as before, but even more simplified. They took a previously nerfed card (Innervate) and essentially "rebooted" it with the added caveat of Shaman overload. Not so much a strong combination of effects, but rather a very powerful effect (that previously only Druid had access to) balanced by a downside.

Devolving Missiles: a more interesting example of combining a Shaman staple (Evolve/Devolve) and combining it with a recurring Mage theme of damage being applied through split missiles

Shan'do Wildclaw: finally, our first and so far only dual class legendary. She seems to be a rather unique case because instead of having an effect that combines two aspects from both classes she splits them up by utilizing the Druid-only [Hearthstone Card (Choose one) Not Found] keyword. As a result we're getting the Keleseth-esque deck buff that is (currently) clearly intended for midrange Beast Hunter, while the other option is a 3-mana tribal Faceless Manipulator which, while still useful for Hunter, has some rather obvious synergies with the Big Beasts that Druid keeps getting from time to time (such as Winged Guardian). The interesting part is that while there seems to be a clear divide between the options, there is always the option to add support for either class, making it very well executed concept. Basically it confirms that Beasts will be more relevant for these classes in the future.

So...with all that in mind, where will these dual class cards go mechanically and thematically? Let's speculate:

Demon Hunter/Warlock

It's pretty obviously going to be a Demonology focussed class. The teacher will either be a demon or have demon synergy. Similar things will occur with the other cards. I think there's a decent possibility that some sort of Lifesteal-control tool will be among them. Most definitely some sort of Big Demon support for both DH and Warlock. A self-damage synergy card might be in there as well seeing how DH also has the proclivity of ramming their face into spiky things.

Druid/Hunter

As evidenced by the legendary it will most likely be Beast focussed. Maybe there'll be one of the classic Choose One shapeshifters with a possible Hunter twist. Or we just get some allround beasts (both big and small). Either way it's a great opportunity to support the beast archetype for both these classes without having to print lame neutrals

Hunter/Demon Hunter

now the most obvious overlap here would be sm0rc, but I actually think that's not gonna be the case. I think we're gonna be looking at a more token focussed approach. Both Hunter and DH have synergy with small rushing tokens (and Token DH so far has been quite weak...most likely intentionally). Either way I don't believe they'd just push more aggro cards for two classes that already excel at it. THere's also potential for a weapon somewhere in there.

Mage/Shaman

Missiles aren't really much to go by, but it'S fair to assume that there will be an emphasis on spells. Maybe we'll even get some more Burn Spells (which is a major shared theme), some Overload limited card draw, or just some strong AoE. I think it's a safe bet that they'll be referencing the Freeze Shaman meme one more time....but like...good..

Paladin/Warrior

Really hard to evaluate. There's not a lot of overlap between these classes. Handbuff could make a return, but at this point that mechanic just seems dead anyways. A weapon is probably a safe bet. Maybe there'll be more Armor+Healing interactions like Thekal....or maybe Paladin can finally get a proper boardclear by proxy. Big taunts are also a possibility.

Priest/Paladin

aside from the ultra-obvious healing cards there might also be some stat manipulation going on. Perhaps we even see the return of Reborn by way of a substitute teacher from Uldum or something like that. The classes also occasionally share a Deathrattle theme so maybe there's something here. Honestly I feel like there'S too much similarity to really predict how they'll make interesting combinations, but I assume they wouldn't have paired them up if they didn't have a plan.

Rogue/Mage

Equal possibility for burn spells or single target removal. Spell damage with a twist could also be in there. If I had to guess the legendary it would probably involve something about generating extra value. Maybe there'll be some cool stealth minions for mage. The most obvious combo will be a secret though. Both Mage and Rogue need more Secret support and this can easily take care of both...although how a shared secret would look like is anyone's guess.

Shaman/Druid

Lightning Bloom isn't much to go by. I also doubt they'd just print some powerful single-target or AOE removal for Druid (unless it comes with a heavy overload cost). Healing is a shared theme so maybe there's something to find there. There's also shared token strategies between the two. I feel like a Choose One card with two Shaman effects is a likely outcome.

Warlock/Priest

Healing for Warlock. If they don't give us healing for Warlock via this (even if conditional) I'm gonna lose it. Aside from that there's probably going to be some crazy mixed boardwipe and maybe some "kill own stuff and also rez it" shenanigans.

Warrior/Rogue

Aside from the obvious weapons and pirates (perhaps too obvious), this might be a sneaky way for Rogue to get some sort of lifegain. So far nothing suggests that these dual class cards will undermine class weaknesses, but who knows at this point? They can always just come up with a gimmick to limit its usefulness. Either way we should get some sort of BUrgle support through this.

And that's it. That's all I can come up with, but maybe someone else has even more ideas. Feel free to share.

Freljord is supposedly so cold that its own people pride themselves on being able to survive in it. So why does Ashe walk around half naked? -_-

Since there are still more than 6 days till the next (official) card reveal, I'd suggest holding a card design competition to shorten the wait. Obviously, the theme would be from Scholomance- I'd suggest 2class-cards-, and in the end we could compare our own designs against the official releases.

What to you think?

I was using the card search tool for Hearthstone today (https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/ ) and wanted to list all the secrets available in standard. I don't see anywhere in the list of filters a toggle to show only cards valid in standard. This seems like an odd thing to be missing, given that there are a few battlegrounds specific toggles. There should be a toggle to choose game mode (Standard/Wild/Arena/BG/Any).

Spellburst - A new keyword! This is an effect that triggers only one time, on casting a spell.

How exactly it works? Once x game or once x spell cast or once x turn ?

A new Common Neutral Minion, Animated Broomstick, has been revealed!

Hi.

As the title says, I played game this morning, as every morning, and to my surprise I did not get the bonus XP for win. Is it just me or did it happen to others? Is it a bug? Do you know at what time of the day is the bonus XP reset?

Thanks.

Wanted to cover a little positive Runterra news.

This updated version of crimson elusives post monk nerf just smashes.

You just add Draven that has been doing so well in the basalisk lists, which also lets you drop conspirator in favor of 3rd decimate

It is absolutely the fastest list in the meta, it sets up for lethal off of 3rd attack every time

There are no bad handstates, there are no bad draws

You almost never muligan more than 2 cards

It just feel great every round, you always feel like games are yours to loose

Give it a try and let me know what you guys think

A few updates were pushed throughout the day today to support the new Scholomance Academy Hearthstone expansion and more! These updates have come a bit later and earlier than originally planned.

For the Out of Cards site anniversary last month, a large bundled site update was planned to release. Long story short, it was not released due to having some unfinished pieces (including the auto-sync plugin) and things have been very busy which has resulted in further... you guessed it... delays. I decided to push everything that was fully ready today due to the increased expansion traffic and since there were some quality of life updates, it would be helpful for everyone to get them today.

New Features

Collection Manager Automatic Syncing

You made it this far. If you want to participate in an alpha test of our automatic collection syncing plugin for Hearthstone Deck Tracker, here's what you need to know. Once we're comfortable with it, a front-page announcement will be made. I want to get automatic plugin updates happening for that.

• You're going to be installing a .dll file into your HDT plugins folder. Browsers will warn you the file may not be safe, as long as you're downloading it from a post or guide created by me, you're in the clear.
• There are no automatic updates yet when a new version of the plugin is released. You'll have to copy the new version over the old one if an update is released. We'll make a dedicated thread for updates when the first one comes out.

Now, onto the fun stuff!

Out of Cards now has an alpha plugin for Hearthstone Deck Tracker. This only works on Windows. It will automatically sync your collection to the site. It will require logging into the plugin through your Out of Cards account so we can sync the data.

• You do not enter your password into Hearthstone Deck Tracker. You will authenticate with our OAuth authentication service via the website itself. Do not share your account password with anyone!
• Syncs will alert you when they happen (each time you enter your collection).
• The site will process your collection update in the order it is received. Sometimes there can be a couple of minutes delay for your collection to fully update on the site.

Interested and on Windows? Let's get it installed!

1. Install Hearthstone Deck Tracker
2. Download the Out of Cards Plugin for HDT. (Click Here) [Version 0.0.1]
3. Move the downloaded "OutOfCardsPlugin.dll" file to "%appdata%/HearthstoneDeckTracker/Plugins"
   • You can copy and paste the path between the quotes above and paste it into your file explorer to get to the right folder.
   • You may need to "unblock" the plugin if your antivirus or windows freaks out about it.
4. Restart Hearthstone Deck Tracker
5. Go to the Hearthstone Deck Tracker Settings Menu
   • Expand the "Tracker" section of settings.
   • Under Tracker, click on "Plugins".
   • Activate the Out of Cards plugin by toggling it.
6. Login to the Out of Cards Plugin
   • On the menu bar of Hearthstone Deck Tracker, click on Plugins.
   • Find the Out of Cards dropdown item.
   • Click on the "Login" submenu option.
     • You will be brought to the Out of Cards website to authenticate.
     • It will state you are logging in and giving the Plugin access to your Hearthstone Collection.
   • After logging in, go back to Hearthstone Deck Tracker.
7. Launch Hearthstone and visit your Collection to have it upload to the site automatically.
   • A toast will appear in the bottom right corner of Hearthstone when your collection syncs successfully.
   • Sometimes, your first load of the collection will not sync. Not sure why, but HDT gets no collection data.
8. Wait for the site to process your collection.
   • We process collections in the order they are received.
   • Once your collection is processed on our end, new collection data will be used across the site.
   • There are sometimes longer than normal delays in processing collections. This is due to us slowly scaling processing based on demand and performance. 
9. Enjoy an updated collection!

Special Notes

• Toasts look ugly, they're purely functional right now. We'll put out an update in the future with something that looks more pleasing though remains small.
• Automatic updates to the plugin itself are not yet available. This will be once we finish the alpha phase of the test.
• We aren't collecting any other data outside of your collection.
  • If we start collecting more data in the future with the plugin, we'll let you know and keep that data collection off by default so you can opt-in to it.
• Some other updates need to be pushed to the site to make collection dust counts appear on the deck listing and on news articles. I know! Hoping we can push this live tomorrow or later tonight.
