She is basically a 7 mana Miss Fortune. They both do the same thing. They hit everything for 1 damage on attack and both have an extra life. Anivia has her egg and Miss Fortune doesn't need to attack to set off her ability. So its the same thing. Then at level up Anivia only does 2 to everything when Miss Fortune does 3.

Again Anivia is 7 mana. Miss Fortune is 3 and does the same things and has a stronger level up. How does that make sense?

Hi everyone,

My name is DaZiel and I am presenting you a Hearthstone Battlegrounds Channel. I found this game a few months ago while watching Twitch and I enjoyed the pro players and their streams alot.

I recently decided to start my own youtube channel with battlegrouds games and I hope you will like it. Below is my first video.

Please let me know what you think and most important what mistakes I did during the game.

If you would like to subscribe too the link is:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQoOfMIdQf09bnEuBpZG8ww?sub_confirmation=1

Thanks and waiting you on my channel!

✌ GIVEAWAY ✌ 1 PACK for an Youtuber who found one or more misplays in my game. I will award it in 7 days from posting this video so please also when you comment on YouTube video about my misplay, please mention your btag too.

I keep losing many games of LoR, purely because of wrongly understanding what cards do. It's so easy to get confused by complicated, contradictory, inconsistent and ambiguous text; it's worrisome to think how new and more casual players experience the game and how they get into it, at all.

For example: Riptide Rex. How the hell that card works? I spent half an hour reading the text, on google... experienced it 20 times, played it 20 times myself... still I don't get it what's happening there. Where dmg goes? 

Statikk Shock. Who is "an enemy" who is not "enemy Nexus", and who is "another"? And how much dmg goes... where? I studied logic from Aristotle to Kripke, and I have never experienced a sentence constructed like that one. 

I remember from before - if you remove Commander Ledros... or Chempunk Shredder, their effects (Skill) would trigger regardless. But when I played [Hearthstone Card (Devourer of the Depths) Not Found] today and my opponent Vengeance him, his Skill didn't trigger afterwards? Why? Why is it suddenly different? 

Can Vladimir Crimson Pact an 1hp minion? Can you get Vlad's effect from a minion who is going to die from it?

What about "I've seen" effect? A champion needs to be on the bench. Ok. But what if he dies after completing just 75% of the effect? Is everything reset, or not?

These are just the most representative examples.

“Dragons are no masters nor friends, they are tools, and just like any other tool, we use them, and then discard it.”

 I greet you, before i introduce the dragonslayer concept to you, i want to explain where i got the idea of making the archtype. I was digging some old files in my PC for boredom reasons, then i’ve founded a custom Dark Souls themed expansion i created back in 2016, and one of the archtypes i created for this expansion was the “Dragonslayer”, wich was focused in discarding Dragons to gain huge Tempo boosts. The classes that used the Dragonslayers was Hunter, Paladin and Mage (If you’re familiar with the Dark Souls lore, you problally know why those classes were chosen and what they do).

 After taking the nostalgia shot, i thinked to myself: “You know what, i think it is worth to recreat the archtype”, and then did it, and now i present to you, the Dragonslayer archtype!

 What are the Dragonslayer and they do?

The Dragonslayers are a group created by Dia the Time Breaker with the inicitial goal to hunt all the evil dragons on Azeroth, but one day a mysterious scientist joined the organization, and gifted them with a new powerful artifact: The Dragon Essence Extractor, wich had the power to absorb the soul of a Dragon and transffer to someone else. Then the scientist convinced them that Dragons are a plague to the world, and they should be exterminated, and the Dragon Essence Extractor( i’ll call it DEE for short) was the weapon that would help them achieve this goal.

 Them the Dragonslayers, equiped with the DEE, went on a vicious hunt againts the dragons, capturing them, extracting its power and then discarding them. The main target was the Blue, Green and Bronze dragonflight, for they powers mixed very well with the classes of the organization (Paladin, Hunter and Mage). Paladins gained the limited power to control time, hunters gained the power of the wilds, and mages unlocked their full potencial with huges amount of magic power.

The Constructs

 Aloung with the DEE, the scientist also created construct dragons to increase the powers of the Dragonslayer’s armies.

  But amoung the constructs, three of them standed out, they were alot more powerful than the others, and also had the natural power of absorbing the essence of other dragons. Those constructs are: Kalysera the Rooted, Sethgos the Crystallized and Masthormu the Infinite.

 And now with an unstoppable army of constructs and the power of three dragonflights, they marched with a single objective: Destroy the dragon kind.

 There’s more lore and history i created for them, but i’ll just writte the basic for now, if people show interest, i might writte the rest. But enough lore, let’s talk about the cards. You should expect a VERY HIGH POWER LEVEL!

The Hunter set

 Hunter’s Dragonslayer focus in destroing their targets as quickly as possible and uses powerful early game plays to gain advantage and then uses their big weapons Kalysera the Rooted and Dragonslayer Orn to finish the enemy hero. In resume, they are the aggressive bunch of the Dragonslyers.

LEGENDARIES

The Mage Set

 Dragonslayer’s mages focus in acumulate Spell Damage and finish their enemies in one shot, and to achive this, they use a lot of survivability and draw to reach the combo turn. They play similar to freeze mage, but in a more fun way.

The Paladin Set

 Dragonslayer’s Paladin are the control part of the group, but they play a more active control style, like Renolock and Cubelock, i know some people don’t consider those as control decks, but those are just labels, and i personally think they deserve the control label. Back to the set, they main thing is removing minions and summoning big dragons, with the ability to use time in their favor.

The Neutral Set

 Turns out, the mysterious scientist was actually Nefarian! He’s working for the Dragonslayers, creating and cloning dragons for them out of the dragons they slay. Something is different about him, but i’ll only explain what it is if i writte the full lore. The basic support consist of a mix of construct dragons and dragonslayers that provide support for all for the dragonslayer archtypes.

 And that was the Dragonslayer concept, hoped you guys liked it, if more interest is shown, i’ll writte the full lore behind them and maybe even created an entire expansion based around it. And now a little trivia and clarifications about the Dragonslayers.

- The cards that discard Dragons will ONLY trigger its effect if you discard a Dragon, so if you have no Dragons in your hand, they will be nearlly worthless. And in the case of spells and hero powers, they can only be used you have a dragon in hand, otherwise you can’t even cast them.

 - As i said in the intro, they were based on my Dark Souls expansion i’ve made back in 2016, so they share some of its flavour. The mage part was inspired by Seth the Scaless, the betrayer of the dragonkind who usessed crystals to create his magic. Hunter was based on the Silver Archers and Paladin on the Silver Knights from Anor Londo.

 - All dragons used by the Dragonslayer are either indoctrinated constructs or slaves, none of them are helping on purpose.

 -There’s quite some references in the set, can you spot them all?

 -There might be some errors in the cards, if you saw one, please ignore it, i’ve maked and remaked a lot of cards, and if  fix every single mistake on them, i’ll take forever to finish the set. I ask the same for typos.

 -Warrior was HIGHLLY considerated to be a dragonslayer, but since i've had no idea of wich direction to give it, i've decided to cut it.

And that is all, what do you think about the Dragonslayers? If you have any comment or question, just say it. Also, i would love to see your cards based on the dragonslayer mechanic, if you have any idea, please share it! Ok, now it's for real, bye.

Been having a blast with this Bilgewater, P and Z control list.

It seems to have favorable matchups against everything but yoink Sejuani, which is probably the best deck in the game right now.

Don't let this one pass you by.

Deck ID Not Found

I may not like the mode, but I'm curious why those who do enjoy it do so. What do you enjoy about BGs?

The class was released overtuned to make the class attractable and worth playing, and subsequently nerfed multiple times. Obviously we know the class was built with a very aggro oriented identify, but to less successful degrees has seen some control & big demon potential. The class is still too new to have meaningful OTK potential.

So what do you want to see out of the class in the future? More small minion aggro stuff? More big demons? More weapon support? Something new like handbuffing, better removal, more defensive sturdy minions? 

THE YEAR OF THE HUNT HAS BEGUN!

Pre-story to the Year of the Hunt:
The continuing story following the event of the Year of the Dragon continues with the city of Dalaran chasing down the lost crimnal who escaped the Violet Hold. After Khadgar and the rest of the Mages of Dalaran took back their city, they've been flying around Azeroth looking for those said criminals, which lead them to Gadgetzan. During their attempts to capture the escaped hooligans across town, Noggenfogger asks for help to remove the Dalaran problem by blowing their home with a custom Mana Bomb crafted by Kazakus. Their efforts were foiled however when Noggenfogger got cocky and invited Khadgar to taunt him. He slipped and Khadgar got the lucky break of it. Now Noggenfogger is on the run and the criminals of Gadgetzan have now begun to disband in the aftermath of their gangs being busted by Archmages who were close to being blown-up. Now Gadgetzan is a new business central in Azeroth and has changed it's city to be more "honest working."

Gadgetzan's Streets:
After the events of Dalaran dismantling the gangs, many of the classes broke into new factions of business to keep themselves afloat, though many of them have pining of old times. In this expansion, Triclass cards return, only each Triclass has a newbie on the block and need to catch up to the other's talents if they wanna move up in the world. This appears in the new Keyword of the Expansion, Learning: 

In this expansion, each Triclass has a single class learning the type of tribe the classes specialize in. Rogues are learning the dangerous and majestic natures of Dragons from Priests and Warriors, Paladins are learning about the wonderous creations of Elementals from Mages and Shamans, and Warlocks are finally treating their Beasts friendlier with the help of Druids and Hunters. Each Learning Class has a single Learn card (Beginner Cards) that can be put into decks that can generate cards of that type from theirs and other classes to help out. Here's an Example: [Hearthstone Card (Beginner Infuser) Not Found] is a card that encourages Paladin to play with their healing ways, but encourages you to build a way to synergize with more than just a few Elementals. Each Learn card in the Learning Class will have the class colors in the corner so you can always know what classes you are taking from.

Now to show one of the Triclasses and their cards. How exciting!

Elemining Mineral Co.
On the edge of town, recent Meteor falls caught the attention of 3 Boomsday experts that wanted to study the rare elements found there, as well as in the underground waterways that the meteors exposed underneath the sands. Kangor and Luna both sought out the rare powers of these elements (Though Kangor had very little experience with Elemental power), causing them to connect with the wonderful Elementals that exist in the Company. Seeing Elementals would be a great help with the business, they offered a co-ownership with Electra to help out with the Underground Rapids. After a year of work, the three took in a child with natural gifts of working with Elementals and decided to make her their successor, creating the Elemining Coal Co. Kangor still struggles to learn about the power of Elementals and their forms and continues to learn from his partners the wondrous creations they have seen and known.

Mage Class Cards: (Theme: Elemental Chaining, Spell Damage Combos, Elemental Control)

Shaman Class Cards: (Theme: Elemental Board Presence, Spells, and Repeating)

Show Spoiler

Electra secludes most of her time in the Underground Rapids found underneath Gadgetzan and has found her home among the crashing and treacherous waves that flow into the Waters. She spends most of her time working with Water and Stone Elementals to break the rare minerals and rocks that are found underneath the city.

And their Legendary, the one and only chaotic Elemental herself, Electra.

Paladin Class Cards: (Theme: Elemental Chaining, Board Buffing, Secret Strength, Healing Helpers)

If you guys want to see the rest of the triclasses, feel free to comment below in the Forum. If this doesn't get much notice, I don't free time have to spend 2 hours straight from my day taking every card in the expansion and writing full on explanations for each Triclass. If this Forum gets enough views, I'll post the next Triclass as well as the Neutrals probably next week. If that continues to do well, I'll finished with the Last Triclass and the Triclass Legendaries. If all goes well, I'll post teh Solo Adventure content into my final post. Please comment and leave notes on cards that you think need tweeking or cards you really like so far too! Please tell me what I can do better!

Hey all,

For the sake of the community, I wanted to post this deck here. I was given this deck by a friend in the game, and I started using it in Silver rank. It was so effective (at least for me) that I kept using it all the way to Platinum. I've been playing LoR for less than 4 weeks total, maybe 5 ranked games per day, and I'm already Platinum. I did not track my winrate, but it was very high (as you can tell from that information, it has to be, mathematically). 

Here's the deck, with a small guide:

Hope it helps you all win some games too!

Edit: It stopped having a positive winrate in Platinum. Win some, lose some. So I don't recommend this deck past platinum. But it was great up until then.

I recalled a legion marauder with the 2 cost retreat card but my Legion Marauder wasnt buffed from my previous attacks. I won anyway, but isn't this a bug?

Competition Theme: D-A-M-A-G-E

Do we need to spell things out for you? We already did that in the competition name...

• You must create a card which has or synergises with Spell Damage
  • 'Synergy' should be explicit. Fireball does not count; Arcane Blast does

Wassculaire is looking for us to improve some spells this week - what do you mean not all spells deal damage?

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

Ever felt dirty playing that T0 net deck or getting away with some insane RNG win that was totally undeserved? Here's the place to ease your mind! We'll listen, we'll understand and most importantly: we won't judge.

I'll start with a confession of BM. I was playing Disco Lock and queued into a golden Odd Warrior. My first mistake was not to concede after Baku's animation, I knew I'd have to draw like a God to win that matchup. Of course RNGesus was busy elsewhere and I not only drew really really bad, but also suffered from abysmally bad discard outcomes. The straw that broke the camel's back was my opponent roping almost every turn until the mid game when it was crystal clear I had already lost the game. I don't think they did it on purpose, it felt more like they were doing something else and not really paying attention. Even late in the game their turns took far longer than necessary and that's something that really gets to me from time to time. So yeah, the last three turns I roped them without any cards left to play just to give something back. I usually never do that since I'm despicing this behavior with all my heart but today I couldn't help myself. Dear Odd Warrior player, if you should happen to read this: I'm sorry. Please do your fellow players a favor and concentrate on whatever your doing and don't multitask Hearthstone. 

I apologize I am first time presenting deck and forgive me if I post it incorrectly. I try to get the list on here. As the title says this is bannerman with a Noxian Twist.

The idea of this is to use the effective Bannerman Demacian core to, but use cards like Darius to overpower certain over midrange regions that like to chump block you like Endure and shadow isles. This deck is a bit weak to Ionia and doesn't like Will of Ionia for obvious reasons. Below is my core build, basically subbed out 3 Garens for 3 Darius and 2 Riposte with 2 Decisive Maneuver.

Things I have thought about:
Dropping 1 Darius and 1 Swiftwing Lancer to put in 2 Radiant Guardian
Dropping Laurent Protege for Laurent Duelist or Legion Drummer
I even thought about putting in Purify and 2nd Unyielding Spirit.

Not sure why my deck is posting below, but it should be:
CEBQCAQABEAQCAZGBEAQAAIJBIFRUHJLFUZQEAIBAATQCAIDBUAQGAQAAECQO

Until someone can help me my current deck is:
2 Cithria of Cloudfield
3 Fleetfeather Tracker
1 Ranger Resolve
3 Brightsteel Protector
3 Single Combat
3 War Chefs
3 Fiora
3 Laurent Protege
3 Grizzled Ranger
3 Vanguard Bannerman
1 Concerted Strike
2 Decisive Maneuver
3 Swiftwing Lancer
3 Cirthria the Bold
3 Darius
1 Unyielding Spirit

but man is it heavy on the pay to win aspect.

The game is not that old and I am already seeing massive amounts of Net Decks in Ranked mode.

Guess there is no way to stop this part. Other than that, so far one of the card games out there.

Vlad levels up from "Allies" surviving damage, but that incluides Vlad himself. Imperial demolitionist targets an "ally" but that means other units, not itself.

The current draft game mode for LoR right now is Expeditions, but I think that due to giving cards in buckets it often leads to worse versions of constructed decks instead of truly unique decks. 

My draft mode mode work like this: first, the player chooses 3 Regions out of an offered 5, then they are taken to a separate empty collection and given 65 random cards from each region and 9 Wildcards (that can be used for any rarity). This separate collection and wildcards would not transfer over to the player’s real collection. Then, the player would build a deck of 40 cards with those 3 Regions, using the random cards that they got as well as cards they crafted with the wildcards. After each victory or defeat they receive 2 Wildcards (to a max of 10) and they can adjust their deck. The run would end after 6 victories or 2 consecutive losses, and a second run can be taken after the first one (just like expeditions). The mode could either be played with an entrance fee and then give rewards based on victories, or be played for free with no rewards. 

The point of this mode would be to offer interesting deck building challenges for players, as they would have to change their strategy based on which regions and cards they receive, and use Wildcards to refine their decks. I’m not sure about what the exact numbers of Wildcards and Random cards given should be, but it could be adjusted to an optimal amount that doesn’t lead to too consistent decks. 

This is written with full discretion that I also enjoy abusing a good Murloc comp. If anything that gives me more credibility.

Being able to divine shield a huge minion is equivalent to having another minion on the board. When you do the math, even taking a ghoul doesn’t help so much because to do so you had to go down to 6 units yourself.

No one complains about dragons because even if you can shield your comp you went down 1 unit and their attack may not be high anyway.

very simple number economics. Murloc late game is not fun to play against. Either mass div shield or mass poison has to go. Please replace Megasaur with Scalelord.

How do you take screenshots in LoR? And where is the folder?

I'll be here to answer questions!

**You are allowed to participate if you're not in NA - but the account must be on the NA server.** 

Hello there. I've downloaded legends of runeterra on my phone for a month now and I love it. But what I noticed was that when I played the game normally, it was pretty clunky and laggy. But, when I kept my finger on the screen,  it ran as smooth as silk. Any ideas?

Thx!

Is this kitty a misunderstood real threat or just a worse AFK? I pick her every time because fun is usually more important than climbing to me (i play in low 7000s doing that). 2 of the 6 times I got her I got a top 4 and two of the times I got beat down 8th place due to bad golden draw. 

great hero and I’m glad she is here but she is clickbait incarnate. If you do not roll something good rip. You have to. Unless you are hitting everything you need and are spending the gold like unneeded rerolls chances are you need that golden Rover to catch up!

I'm hyped :) 

Hey all,

I’ll start with a disclaimer: I don’t play a whole lot of battlegrounds, therefore my analysis might be flawed.

Anyways, Pirates are great fun! I love both the economy and the buff-when-attacking synergy.

But especially the later is causing some problems imo. Late game pirate builds snowball so incredibly hard from their first attack, that any comeback is very difficult. Attacking second in a mirror is a guaranteed loss. Not only that, you oftentimes lose by a lot because the buffs keep coming.
The same goes for the parrot-deathrattle build to a certain extend. 
Without a huge divine shield - taunt you are basicly Toast In this meta, after losing the coin flip of attack initiative. 

How are your experiences? Have you found a way around that?

So I am curious, why are your funnest decks to play? I think mine is my Teemo/Sejuani deck. I had discovered that puff caps are an awesome way to trigger Sejuani’s level up, so now I have a deck that focuses on puffcap placement and defending until I can bring full-power Sejuani into play. It’s super fun, but not very good in the ranked game mode.
