Hey guys,  just wondering, do the odds increase the closer you are to the pity timer?

For example, I am at pack 25 without a legendary.
Are the odds to get the legendary like scenario 1 or scenario 2?

(NOTE: I am guessing the numbers here lol, I don't know the actual value)

Scenario 1 - Flat Percentage

Pack 26 - 1.50%
Pack 27 - 1.50%
Pack 28 - 1.50%
...
Pack 39 - 1.50%
Pack 40 - 100.00%

Scenario 2 - Increasing Percentage

Pack 26 - 1.50%
Pack 27 - 5.00%
Pack 28 - 10.00%
...
Pack 39 - 80.00%
Pack 40 - 100.00%

Competition Theme: By Your Powers Combined

Tired of the same old Hero Power every game? Great news! We're swapping them out this week.

• You must create a card that changes your Hero Power into a new one
• You cannot create a Hero Card, a Quest, or a minion which replaces your Hero (like Lord Jaraxxus)
  • These are all card types which could get their own competition - we want to focus on the Hero Powers this time
• The Hero Power your card gives you cannot be an existing one - including Basic and Upgraded Hero Powers
  • We want to see brand new ideas!
• Existing examples include Charged Hammer, Shadowform and Vilefin Inquisitor

Remember to include your Hero Power in your submission by adding it as an extra card!

This week link wants us to branch out into a different specialisation; to do that we'll need to change up that Hero Power!

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 was goofing around playing some Poro decks, and noticed that when a buffed Poro gets recalled, they lose their Poro Snax buffs. At some level, this makes sense - recall typically removes buffs. But the Poro Snax buff applies "everywhere" and gets applied to any randomly generated Poro even after the Poro Snax are played.

Not sure if this is technically a bug, but it's not terribly intuitive - the Poros I have can lose the buff, but the Poros that don't yet exist have it.

Just reached Legends. The first three matches I had were against Diamond 9 or 10 ... is that normal ? I had expected either Legend or Diamond 1/2

Well title says all, allegiance legends of Runeterra not working all the time, i know how to trigger it.

But it wont summon 2 , 1 cost units, when i draw the same region card . is it a bug? or i am doing something wrong?

Both cards are BS separately and shouldn't exist in the game, but combined they make the cheapest, most boring, skilless, frustrating, unfun, unfair, and overwall bulls--t combo in all card game history.

It is a 2 card combo that has 0 counters and can single handely win you game, you don't need to play ANY other card, just those 2 and you win the game.  Seriously, how are you supposed to deal with it? How is that fair?

As the title, I would suggest additional buttons for navigating long threads. Now, if you want to go to the latest page, you often have to click the [...] button several times. Instead oft this, vou could implement a go to last and a go to first page button.

On paper, the buff on The Lurker Below to 6/5 looks really good.

The card will become a potentially good Tempo swing.

HOWEVER, the Battlecry stays the same:

1. How reliable and consistent is the Battlecry, given its condition, and the average board in Wild?
2. Is turn-6 too late anyway, for that effect in Wild?
3. Do you think it can fit Even Shaman?

Like the title says.  Beta people were polite (bran wave at game start, shen emote at game end).

Now every other player is spamming

Jinx/Thresh on lethal,

heimer/gryphon thinking emote if you take more than 5 seconds to play

Thumbs up emote/brann on pivotal/counter plays.

Not sure I expected any different.  I miss the respectful beta community.

Does anyone know of a list of all of the daily quests in Legend of Runeterra? I've tried finding one but have had no luck.

Given that Freljord isn't a key part of any meta deck (endure spiders doesn't really count as Frelyord) I thought of some buffs that might the region more playable

Catalyst of Aeons becomes 5 Mana "Gain an empty mana gem and heal your Nexus 5. Enlightened: Draw a unit with 5+ Power"

-This change would make Catalyst a lot better once you've reached 10 mana crystals, at which point the current Catalyst becomes "5 Mana Heal 3", which is awful and game-losing. The additional heal would help Freljord stabilize against aggro better without having to run Shadow Isles.

Troop of Elnuks becomes a 4 Mana 3/3 with "Play: Draw 2 Elnuks in the top 10 cards in your deck. Give all other Elnuks everywhere +1/+1.

-This change would make Elnuk shuffle decks a possibility, because it would give them access to more card draw and would make playing a ton of Elnuks a viable strategy, as they would grow bigger and bigger. I think this version would not be able to be run without shuffle support, but if it were proven too powerful, it could be changed to draw from the top 6 cards instead.

Kindly Tavernkeeper becomes a 3 Mana 2/4 with "Play: Heal an ally or your Nexus 4."

-This would make the tavernkeeper a consideration in Freljord decks, and would help make Freljord one of the Healing Regions, which could lead to it being incorporated in some decks that would have otherwise used Shadow Isles for healing.

Entreat becomes 2 Mana "Draw a Champion. Enlightened: Give it +1|+1"

-This change buffs up Entreat just a little bit, and contributes more to the buffing and Enlightenment archetypes, which do not currently seem to be working.

Unscarred Reaver gains Challenger

This change would make it easier to enable Unscarred Reaver, and make her more powerful when she actually does get damaged. This is helpful because without Challenger Unscarred reaver can stay as a 0/3 for a really long time, and even when she does get damaged she can get killed by a 2/1, making it almost impossible to successfully attack with her. With this buff, the Scars deck could become potentially viable. This could make her too good against 1/1s, in which case her health could be reduced to 2

Tarkaz the Tribeless gains Overwhelm

-This change would make Tarkaz better by requiring your opponent to actually block him instead of just using a 1/1. This change could possibly make him too good though, in which case his health could be lowered to 7.

So what do you all think about these changes? Would it be enough to make Freljord viable, or did I miss some key cards that need to be buffed? 

Wanted to know if there is any way to have different portraits for different decks of the same class. I don’t see any way to do it and if it’s that’s the case I’m against it.

Greetings there! I'm here to present you my version of how I would change Rogue's Core Sets. I'm jumping the bandwagon a bit with the changes after seeing some other people trying their reworks and generally accepting classes may need some updates.

This time, I've put crossfire onto Rogue. The reason being they have some of the worst cards in the entire game, and they have a lot of them actually. On the other side of the coin though, they also have cards that warp the entire class around. I'm trying to modify their set to include more cards that can see play whilst retaining the combo playstyle in a healthier way - mainly trying to avoid mana cheating in form of cards like Preparation.

TL;DR Welcome Songhai to Hearthstone. Also welcome the biggest exodus of cards you have ever seen.

Hello everyone! It is everyone's favorite cannon boi here. Hope you are surviving in your homes, Today we are peeking at some neutral legendaries that have dedicated themselves to a class. Make sure to pass this thread along to make more people see this. Dress accordingly and leap into the shadows!

If you missed the last one,  we looked at some demonic allies for non-demonic classes. The link for the comp is here.

Wrathion, the Black Emperor By Sindragosa

Works like a minion-only, Chromaggus, but adds a 1/1 copy instead. [Hearthstone Card (Toggwaggle's Scheme) Not Found] a minion, then get a lot of 1/1s. Can work with both Quests, which is the comp this week as of writing. I like this, but it might just be my rogue talking.

Shu'ma, Maw of Ruin By Sylicas

This minion intrigues me. You play this and it sleeps for 2 turns. You have to keep the enemy minions alive in order for this to work. But when it wakes up and the effect triggers, it still can't attack. That can make this a target to kill. I question its effectiveness, but flavor is here.

Archlich Kel'Thuzad By R

Freeze Priest anyone? While I am really confused about the Battlecry, the Hero Power catches my eye. Which I return with a hateful gaze.  Stall and more stall. This would make Convincing Infiltrator pop up with 3 health. Much more manageable than six. Plus, you get to pick it! That every single turn. Let us hope this it not made in the future for I will rage quit.

Hogger, King Gnoll By grayghost39

This + Into the Fray or Armagedillo = value. Math so easy, my sister could do this in her sleep. Taunt Warrior can make a swift comeback. Load the board and then you have a gnoll wall. I like it.

Millhouse, Infinity Storm By IlBelTia

I reached 10 mana though. Why do I have to wait 5 more! Assuming you survive that long in the late game, this can be potentially good. You can pump out spells like a mad man and Yogg to the moon. Holding Evocation that long can give you a lot more value. Spell Mage shall enjoy.

Wrap Up:

Hope you guys enjoyed! Next time, we will be multi-questing. State your piece in the comments. Stay lurking people and have a great day.

Am i the only one noticing the amount of people playing some mix of Ionia (mostly Ionia/Demacia and sometimes Ionia/PiltZaun)? Feels like they only play the game on my turn unless they're playing zed and garen, but even then, they mostly just play big buffs on them when i try to block. Is there any way to counter this with a Bilgewater deck? or is this just a true counter, or do i just have to play only Deep monsters?  I just wish i could make my Bilgewater plunder allegiance deck work but they only decks I'm seeing are boring hard counter play decks :/

This deck got me to Diamond 10.

I think the Description written by creators for cards submitted to the WCDC should be shown during the Finalist Voting phase too. If anything, that description is even more vital during the Finals. 

I don't think there are any top tier decks that rely heavily on the klepto cards (like Pilfered Goods, but playing against those cards is so goddamn frustrating.

Assuming you can activate the plunder effects with reasonable consistency, they're highly efficient card draw (in game where most card draw from your own deck is fairly inefficient) and they can significantly disrupt your opponent. It just seems like a very unfun design paradigm.

After today patch Hearthstone Deck Tracker doesn't work anymore. Anybody else?

Jesus, that grind. oO

Never seen even a golden one before that.

I'm unable to reroll quests following update on both EU and Asia.

Anyone else having similar issues?

after the last update I can't challenge a friend for the 80's quest

Yesterday, I played my longest Legends of Runeterra match ever, clocking in at over 40 minutes in Constructed format. I was using a Lux & Heimerdinger deck, my opponent played Lux & Karma.

By the time of about round 7 or 8, my opponent played an Unyielding Spirit to save their Lifesteal Radiant Guardian. In the following turns, I tried to remove the unit twice with Detain and Hextech Transmogulator; both were countered with Will of Ionia.

Luckily, my Luxs and Heimerdingers afforded me with enough board presence to keep things under control, but at the same time, my opponent had a free block plus 5 Nexus health each turn, so I didn't manage to push any meaningful damage through.

The scales started to tip in my favor at about round 15-20 when I used my own Unyielding Spirit first on Heimerdinger, then on Lux. I also managed to amass a good amount of top-end Heimerdinger turrets and killed my opponent's Karma with Final Spark twice.

In the end, after a hard-fought battle, I won the game with one huge attack in the final round, after which I would've won anyway because my opponent had emptied their deck.

What was your longest game yet? Anything to share? Did you enjoy it?

Guys,

Having in mind the new extended duplicate rule, I'd like to ask you what's your opinion on disenchanting the bad legendaries that you have.

Since you are now guaranteed that you won't open them again (soon), do you think it's a good idea to disenchant the ones that never saw play? I'll gladly D/E my second Millhouse Manastorm which I opened again right after I D/E him in first place... 

Not that I need dust for something specific but I ask as for the general "good practice" advice. Because previously it was to keep the legendaries no matter how playable are they, so that you don't open them again if you open more packs from that set. 

Furthermore, I'd gladly D/E any 4 non-playable legendaries to craft one T1 legendary from the crafting guide.

Tess Greymane is the one for me and many others. Our beloved princess who hopefully one day will be buffed to an actually competitive 6 mana.

Tess is/ was an agenda. I loved the struggle to worship her highness with plays that would make her reign unquestioned (Blizzards and Tirions and Mind Controls, oh my). The trouble was always staying alive to see her ascension 

Great Tess! I vow to you that you will see your day in wild yet!

- your humble knight
