So I was buying packs from the latest expansion (AoO) and bought them by bunches of 10. After buying 20 packs with hard-earned f2p gold, I decide to buy some more. Then I realize packs from Ashes of Outland are no longer being offered in the shop and I had just mistakenly bought 10 packs from Descent of Dragons :'(

After logging off and back o, packs from AoO were available again. Is this a hack prevention strategy from blizzard's server? I wonder...

Too bad for my wasted gold. But hey, on the 10th DoD pack, I got a golden Chenvaala. So...karma ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now, this is my personal opinion, but personally I think monks should have been the new class. They're fat, lazy, drunk pandas pretty much the opposite of demon hunter. They could have been more control-oriented requiring chi and stuff, heck they could have still added outcast and called it feng shui or something. We have several important monks from WoW and lots more lore characters for a Pandaria Expac we already have Lei Shen as a hero. Lili could be a legendary and Chen could be the hero.

Monks have several playstyles in wow being drunk and staggering off damage to take it later, flinging mist to heal, and doing cool wind weaving stuff. They also have their statues that could act like shrines or something. THEY CAN LITERALLY SPLIT THEIR BODY APART INTO ELEMENTAL FORMS! 

TL:DR I think monk should have been the class instead of Demon hunter since it would probably be more on the control side and easier to balance/play against, but its early maybe DH will get fixed real soon. 

Any opinions and or hate is welcome and valid 

Posting this up because I haven't seen anyone mention anything in these threads yet! Hope everyone enjoys - SO EXCITED for this set to drop! Here's a video summarizing the newly spoiled cards!

My first impressions are that Scout creates another layer to the attack phase that will make it more difficult to prepare/plan for an attack to go the way that you want as the defender. As an attacker, you know have a tool to better set yourself up for success. I like how Runeterra has made it a point to make another level to the game similar to poker in trying to read what your opponent does or does not have and then trying to bait it out. I think thus far, it has done it the best of any card game I've seen and Scout just adds to that!

Otherwise, I think the remainder of the cards are all OK, but you can't fully know until the remainder of the set is out. I do think that the Elite w/ Barrier & Scout will certainly give Elites a much needed boost - hopefully they see some more support as well! 

What's everyone's thoughts on the new Scout keyword? Good? Bad? Busted?

Just made it (exactly :D ) to 8000 in Battlegrounds and then I found the post here from a month ago that from 8000 you are in the top 0.1%?
Is  this true? 

https://outof.cards/hearthstone/897-blizzard-shares-the-hearthstone-battlegrounds-rating-distribution-data-from-active-battlegrounds-players

Anyway, was not so difficult to climb when you play more conservative and you still win the lobby sometimes in that way. 

You only end up bottom of top 4 when RNG f***s you really really hard. 

So here's a fun deck I thought of but since I don't have all the cards, I'd love people to test it.

The idea is to alternate between Primes and Shudders and trade off as many useless 1-drops as possible. 

Edit. Yogg is really optional and just something I'd do for fun.  Should probably be replaced.

Hi, there is something "wrong" with how blocking enemy units works in this game.

sometimes everything works normal, sometimes i can't find a reasonable explanation...or maybe I'm just missing some "basic" information.

-i block an enemy unit, the player use Whirling Death on my blocking unit, killing it and letting his unit hit face (even when i already "confirmed" the blocking)...same scenario using different removal like Get Exited!BADCARDNAME my unit still blocks the enemy unit.

-the player is attacking with Anivia "2 damage to all" + another unit, i block the other unit with a 2hp unit, the player use Might on that unit, Anivia kills my blocking unit and his Might boosted unit hit face...again same scenario with different enemy interaction and i manage to block the units even if they die to Anivia's AOE.

Is there something I'm missing ?

Currently having a lot of fun trying demon hunter in wild. With 1 mana hero power and occasional cost reduction from skull of guldan suddenly some cards with inspire became much more interesting.

Anyway, with Baku you get an upgraded hero power, which gives you 2 attack instead of 1.

But, if after mulligan at the start of the game your leftmost card is eye beam, it gets outcasted, which means it costs 0. Suddenly, your Baku does not activate and you get a normal hero power! 
Do you guys think this is how it should be?

It's just isn't the power level of the class is off the charts even the last expansion dragon hunter got 0 chance against midrange demon hunter it's too good dunno what blizzard was thinking when they put all those insane cards in one class...

I played it for a bit it feels unstoppable even when skipping turns for being greedy with outcast, I think we will see it nerfed this week it's really not ok to be that strong I tried some other decks as well they didn't compare to DH in the slightliest..

hit list? the 4/2 for 3 that summons 2/2s , the 10/6 dormant demon that destroys the board and is too insane, the 6/7 rag lady that CAN attack as well..

the [Hearthstone Card (skull of guldan) Not Found], rogue needs to invoke galakround 3 times AND pay 7 mana to get the same effect but DH? just have the card in the left or right of your hand lol.

I mean.. yes you can push the class but those cards are nowhere near fair to other classes.. looking forward to playing the other classes when DH gets nerfed until then.. getting to legend with midrange DH.

seeing people playing token DH or big DH or anything but midrange or highlander is just a mistake play the cards that are busted.

Edit: twin slice is OP AF

So, for some reason, every card game under the sun has decided to release an expansion in April, and Mythgard in no exception (in theory... might be delayed because of that global thingamajig). Now, Rhino hasn't made any announcements apart from their road map a while ago, so everything I'm about to spoil is both unofficial and SUPER early access, some not everything is final (especially the art). In any case, all you have to do to take a peek at the coming stuff is copy the content of the spoiler below and go into the game to Play->Puzzles->Import. You'll see the new card, a new Power and even a new keyword. Enjoy!

17 legendaries from 172 packs! Does anyone know how I can add a video or do I need to upload the capture to youtube or something and give a link?

Sorry if this has been posted before. Today, some hours before the expansion release, I got upgraded version of demon hunter hero power from Sir Finley of the Sands, thought I should share.

It’s called Demon’s bite, you get +2 attack this turn for 1 mana

I made a list of decks for this expansion, they are in my profile.

1 Deck per class, based on the new cards for each class.

It will be nice if they get some feedback to make improvements and so on.

Hearthstone Collections have arrived in their first iteration just in time for Ashes of Outland. We'll make this a quick update post.

• You can find them under your user dropdown on the site navigation under "HS Collection".
• You cannot currently share your collection with friends / other community members.
  • We'll be adding an account permission at a later date to enable showcasing your collection to the world. Default off.
• Calculations are performed client-side so we don't murder the servers.

Important Notes

I regret to inform you we don't have a client available yet for automatic syncing of cards. I know this is incredibly disappointing for a lot of you, especially considering there isn't much time before Ashes of Outland hits to input collections manually. To say the last few months have been tight on time would be the understatement of the year.

Also, the goal was to allow you to find decks using the deck search feature on the site by using your collection data. This is not live right now because the site needs to be monitored during a time where there is less traffic (not an expansion launch) so we can stay online. We've had a lot of downtime recently (any downtime is unacceptable to me) and although the problem has been fixed and we won't run into the same issue again, these calculations take quite a bit of processing so I'm not confident turning them on right away. I'll likely enable these calculations for Out of Cards Premium users first, so we can get a better idea at how the site handles them without turning it on for everyone. I don't have an exact date at when this will happen.

The Future

• Desktop client for syncing collections.
• Adding cards to your collection from deck pages.
• Improved interfaces
• Pity timer tracking

Thanks for your continued support!

These are my example minions that I think could create a Spell Damage strategy in Battlegrounds. Even though Spell Damage by itself does not do anything in Battlegrounds, by creating Spell Damage payoff minions, Spell Damage becomes a valuable keyword. I also included some dragons and Divine Shield minions in these cards in order to make them more flexible and able to fit into multiple different gameplans. Cards like Tarecgosa and Dark Summoner, for example, are playable without additional Spell Damage.

Having looked at my pack tracker, I find I've opened 78 packs without a legendary.  (And 12 epics which is also below average.)

This is possible because it's across different sets and 3 regions.

But it's still pretty bad luck - but that's Hearthstone.

May your packs tomorrow be lucky :) :)

Hey!

It's ~17 hours for the next expansion to hit us like a brick, so what last-minute, fun decks do you guys have? Post stuff you're playing with, that uses some of the cards you love the most that are being rotated out.

Mine is a full-on Thief Rogue, and it does surprisingly well.

Competition Theme: The Price Of Power

We're looking for powerful minions this week - so powerful, in fact, that they come with a drawback to offset them.

• You must create a minion
• Your minion must have better than average stats or effects for its cost, with a drawback
  • Examples include Flamewreathed Faceless and Vulgar Homunculus
  • Note that merely having poor stats will not be considered a drawback.

For the purposes of this competition, Dormant is banned.

MathU wanted to see some cards that traded power for a price this week, so get those deals flowing!

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

If I go from bronze 10 to bronze 5 in wild do I get any rewards or does it not stack? And if I do get rewards will they be wild or standard?

This is probably a meme deck but:

Al'ar is just a card I wanted to try feel free to replace it.

So I usually wait far too long until I craft those great legendaries I never open. Tomorrow though I’m thinking of making an exception, and craft those I really want and hope to open those good ones you want to have but not craft. 
I’m thinking of Maiev Shadowsong (good neutral + old WC3 fave), Kayn Sunfury (probably key finisher for Illidan) and Kargath Bladefist (just too good to pass). 
What  to you think of these?

Do we have any information about Illidans upgraded heropowers form cards like Justicar Trueheart, Genn Greymane or Baku the Mooneater?

The coin is there to counter the disadvantage of going second. However in it's current state it is not an equalizer, but an (unfair) advantage for the player who goes second.

My proposal is to have the coin you get from going second ONLY give you one mana crystal. It shouldn't count as a spell /  card and will not work as a combo enabler.

Coins generated later in the game can work as normal.

What do you think?

We're kind of in a down-time between Reveal Season and a new expansion coming out, so while we wait for Tuesday I thought I'd ask a question: what are your favorite Hearthstone cards by rarity? This came up in a conversation with my father, and turns out going through the list was harder than I expected.

To start things off, here are mine:

• Basic - Frostbolt. 
• Common - Jade Spirit. I've had a lot of fun playing Jade decks; I like their inevitable nature, growing bigger threats.
• Rare - Stonehill Defender. Taunt is my favorite Keyword, and he's a staple of Quest Taunt Warrior (my favorite deck).
• Epic - Scion of Ruin. Dragons are my favorite minion type, and summoning three guys with Rush is great.
• Legendary - Fire Plume's Heart. It's got to be; sorry, Frost Lich Jaina. You know I love you too.

I assume all cards are fair game here, although you're welcome to do Standard-only if you want.

I started playing HS after the nerf to Raza so never had to deal with this deck in a big way before.

I played 7 games on the wild ladder today at Bronze 10 and 6 of those games were this deck and I lost every game. Granted I was playing non-tier 1 decks like Spell Hunter & Quest Burgle Rogue, but still every game played out the same and I got completely destroyed.

For those who played it prenerf what worked? My only thought was bring back Bomb Warrior and just shuffle bombs like mad but aside from that (which is obviously inconsistent based on draws) I’m kind of at a loss. Any help would be appreciated - as much as I love the new ladder system quite frankly this was the single least fun day I’ve ever had with this game so if this is what Wild looks like now then I’ll just dust my Wild cards and jump back to standard.

Hey guys, i've really enjoyed the year of the dragon overall and want to know what you think. 

1. What have been your favorite decks to climb or just play from each expansion meta? 
2. What rotating cards from YotR are you going to miss most?
3. Favorite YotD cards not necessarily for power?

All of the year of the dragon cards will still be around in standard for the next year, but between raven cards rotating/nerfs/power level of future expansions a lot of them won't see the kind of play they have.  So year of the dragon has had it's own unique meta.

My personal experience:

Witchwood/Year of the Raven was where I began hearthstone, so this year felt unique to me because it was the first one where every card being played was one I knew from it's release.  

In Rise of Shadows my favorite deck for the ladder was bomb warrior.  Both booms were nutty, and having a "control" deck that also could play as a sloppy midrange beat em up was really fun.  I'm definitely in the minority but I even miss the warrior mirrors.  Playing bomb vs control and bomb mirror was so ridiculous and its not something you really saw after the end of the RoS meta.  My favorite card from that expansion was Muckmorpher.  I really liked those two minutes where big shaman was a thing.  

In Saviors of Uldum, and for the entire year of the dragon, my favorite deck was quest shaman.  Now bludgeoned to death by nerfs (unjustly so imo), it used to be a super fun deck to play.  Ridiculous value engine, interesting tempo lines, lots of rng effects like discovers and mutates to try to hedge, deck was nutty.  Unfortunately the Wild cards event put an early end on my enjoyment of the deck because evolve made the deck broken and the center of the meta.  About a week into the event I took the longest break i've ever taken from HS until it was over because the game was unplayable to me.  

I also loved quest druid, and my favorite card from Uldum is Oasis Surger.  I love elementals, the art, and the nutty power level.  This deck is still very good nowadays and a go to climbing deck.

Descent of Dragons was a pretty huge spike in power, Pushing and rebuilding a lot of the other decks from the meta while adding Galakrond and another reason to play highlander.  I loved Galakrond Shaman for the brief amount of time it was almost balanced between the two waves of nerfs but it was short lived because now the deck is fairly weak.  I was really bummed how they handled Shaman this expansion, but it's still been quite enjoyable and a pretty decent meta with a lot of variety and not as much polarization.  I've enjoyed highlander hunter, aggro hunter, highlander rogue, and quest druid.  DoD added my favorite card from the expansion to quest druid, Ysera, Unleashed.  Card is nuts.  Mad flavor and closes out games in style.  

Cards i'm going to miss from year of the raven

Shudderwock (favorite card of all time, opened it in my first WW pack),

Hagatha the Witch

Flobbidinous Floop

Electra Stormsurge

Wardruid Loti

I won't type too much more in case the thread flops but I really want to know other peoples experiences and feelings with the expansions.
