Now that this site has been up for a while, some threads are growing in size, such as the ever popular Group Therapy / Salt thread. This thread currently has 12 pages, which I enjoy reading, but... it currently takes me four clicks to get to the latest page or comment of this thread, which makes me salty and in need of group therapy.

Currently, the thread has 12 pages. If I want to navigate to page 12, I have to take the following steps:

1. Click to open the thread
2. Click on the three dots "..." next to number 5. This opens the thread on page 6.
3. Click on the three dots "..." next to number 10. This open the thread on page 11.
4. Click on the number 12 to open 

From my perspective, it would be more intuitive if clicking the three dots would direct you to the last page in the thread.

So the request is simple:

• Please make it possible to either directly open a thread on the latest page, or allow a one-click opening of the last page once the thread is opened.

This will become more relevant once the threads increase in size

Hey Flux and Team!

Is there a way we can get a report button for spam like WilliamKal?

Hey guys,

I haven´t seen a thread about this yet, so I wonder, if anyone else has this issue. Three days ago I had 3 daily quests, completed one to get the legendary quest for 3 packs, which I´ve completed as well at the same day. So I was left with two quests in my log. Yesterday I logged in, but no new quest popped in, I had the same two quests like the day before. I tried to log in and out during the day, but no new quest appeared. And today the same - still the same two quests I had before.

Anyone else is having this problem? Should I contact someone or just wait? I hate to lose 2 quests for nothing :(

Thanks all.

Could you imagine that Yogg-Saron, Hope's End is competetively good card *again*? Well, he is. Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron is actually a good card. Especially for 5 mana. Especially when cast 2-5 times. Hereby the deck :

Cause the boogeyman of the expansion is no other than Uther (again) this time with an army of murloc and perfect answers and turn 5 "call to murlocs".

OH and control warrior is way too good as well so that deck isn't going anywhere.

The Witcher trailer was released some weeks ago and I'm super excited. I really can't wait to watch this new series on Netflix!!! Of course, I want desperately to fill the big empty hole GoT left into my heart... At least a bit. ;)

So, what about you, people??? What do you think about this new series???

Note: This is the Off-Topic section of the forum and stuff like this belongs here. ;)

It could be a hidden treasure, it could be a mirage... Does the self-damage Warlock archetype finally work?

Please try this deck and share your experiences and improvements. I certainly had a blast finishing off my opponent with a 15-attack Frothing Berserker.

Good eve fellow Hearthstoners,

got back to the game after taking a short break as Rise of Shadows was really bland and I really quickly lost interest in the game, quite frankly had higher hopes for it as I've been pretty dissappointed with the expansions since Boomsday Project. But honestly Saviors of Uldum really trumped it all with the massive amount of stale and bland legendaries. I've literally never EVER had 0 legendaries that interested me. Yet now I honestly have no clue what to craft. What bums me out even more is that I even won the outofcards giveaway, got super lucky with my 53 packs and still haven't got anything to do as both Standard and Wild ladders are just honestly the same old shitfest as they have been since forever. Standard being stale and Wild being, well, terrorized by decks that I don't even dare to name as I would probably get a lot of meaningless hate for it.

Point is, I'm pretty much bored of the expansion on the first day of playing it and it's frustrating as I've loved this game to bits for such a long time. I'd appreciate any tips for some decks you guys have success with as nothing I came up seems to work. And please refrain from comments to play other card games. I've tried many and they were fun for a while, but not in a longrun.

This is my first selfmade Saviors deck. Most choices seem obvious because of the card limitation but I had good results with it so far. I'd like you to give it a try. :)

Greetings Everyone :)

With the recent positive response to the Tol'vir lore article a couple days ago, I'm happy to state that these types are articles are planned to continue on a regular basis for the foreseeable future. Since Hearthstone covers a lot of areas of WoW lore, there's a lot of ground to cover, and it can be hard to decide what topics to focus on first. To help with this, I'd appreciate if  you could comment below what topic you would most like to see covered. If your suggestion is already written, please upvote that post instead of writing it again, as this will help me to gauge the popularity of suggested topics and see what you guys want most. 

Please note that individual cards are not the focus at the moment. There will likely be a point in the future where specific lore might be able to be added to the respective card page, but the current articles are meant to focus on broader topics, such as locations or groups like races, nations, and organizations, that would include multiple cards and demonstrate how they are connected in the lore.

Greetings!

I was just trying some Control Warlock ideas when I came across an infinite card generation mechanism by chance.

In my last game I played Expired Merchant, discarding Soulwarden (I run two in combination with The Soularium).

Since Expired Merchant actually discarded Soul Warden, the latter gives a Soul Warden copy when played, effectively replacing itself in hand.

As I run two Merchants (the second hitting Jumbo Imp), this resulted in a neverending story of 6/6s being played, each one giving me a new 6/6 and 8/8.

Still lost. :P (Taunt Warrior with Dr. Boom)

I've been having decent success with a build that is very draw heavy just trying to assemble Expired Merchant Cruel Dinomancer and Spiritsinger Umbra as fast as possible.  My worst matchup is Hyper-Aggressive deck, since the desire to furiously tap every turn makes it easy to be burst down quickly.

How has your experience been going?

I got 2 Desert Obelisk and 2 Shadow of Death yesterday from my packs, was a little bummed about that, not going to lie. But today, I thought, why not try Cave Johnson's advise.  Take those lemons and try to burn the house down with them.

So I made Obelisk Rogue. It is about as bad as you think, but I did get it to work a couple of times in the 6 games that I played. I mostly lost the games where I didn't draw Obelisk, either because the opponent was a fast zoolock or quest shaman, or because the Obelisks were in the bottom 3 cards of my deck. Both of them!

I'm sure this isn't going to work once people know what they're doing, but until then it's fun to sometimes eke out a win with this 1 star card.

As I don't have every card and wanted to focus on different things I already changed some cards.

1. More carddraw switching Brazen Zealot for Crystology.
2. I don't have High Priest Thekal and also wanted to try Kangor's Endless Army for the mech value.
3. Currently trying Micro Mummy, Sword of Justice and Glowstone Technician. Threw out Siamat, Pharaoh's Blessing and Colossus of the Moon to get some space.

There are some more cards I changed for different reasons. Just before writing a novel or submitting my deck (with a guide) I wanted to know if anyone else is interested in this kind of deck (Highlander Paladin). As I never did any deckbuilding before it would help a lot to have some people to discuss with.

I'm motivated to put some time into creating a deck with a guide, but before starting I wanted to get some feedback on the idea. (I'm lazy and if no one is interested I see no need to publish it here or explain my reasoning)

Thank you for your time and a short answer would be really appreciated!

What have you enjoyed playing on ranked so far?. Are there any cards that you initially included but then took out due to what others are playing?.

Well, here's some speculation i find spicy enough (hopefully it hasn't been already discussed).

Do you remember the Red Mana, the mysterious and corrupting source of the Kabal, led by

And also, look at

who makes corrupting tatooes for new Kabal members.

Now, look at our new beloved Genie:

Notice anything strange for an (air) Elemental, yet familiar? The red lights and signs on his skin? As well as the Highlander mechanic?

Finally, do you remember all the speculations, fueled by the very Gadgetzan teasers and concept artworks, of Kazakus being a Dragon? Well, this is Year of the Dragon (which is itself built upon revamped characters and themes)!

And as if all this was not enough, there we go with another Dragon-character with suspicious Red lightnings/mana:

I got Rogue myself, quite happy with that!

I've always wondered why there was no sound for the pack opener, the screaming of the innkeeper is pretty great, and makes you want to keep doing it(google skinner box) so it's odd to me why it wasn't implemented on Hpwn or here, it's a new feature so i'm assuming it's not 100% implemented yet, but i just thought that would be a nice improvement. Also, i think you shouldn't need to scroll down to open a new pack like you currently have to do, it should be as fluid as possible, but i see these changes as more of "extra" and not necessary, but still they would be nice. Is there a reason why there wasn't sound before? Also is there a way to see why some things are worth more points than others? That was always confusing to me when i'd get a golden legendary and some commons just like someone else but they got more points than i did for some reason.

Greetings, travelers!

This thread aims to help new creators to know when to use certain keywords. In order to do this, we will classify all existing keywords in different classes, according to the sets where they can be used. So far, Blizzard has only broken these rules twice, so if you want to make a believable card, following them is surely a good place to start.

@Mods, if you believe this post should be included in the Fan Creations Primer thread, go ahead :)

Basic keywords

Extensive list: Battlecry, Charge, Divine Shield, Freeze, Spell Damage, Taunt.

These keywords can appear in any set, including the Basic set.

• Poisonous is not included here, because it was introduced in Journey to Un'goro, so it's classified as Evergreen.
• Divine Shield only appears in Neutral and Paladin cards, with the only exceptions being Al'Akir the Windlord and Elixir of Purity.
• Freeze only appears in Neutral, Mage and Shaman cards.

Classic keywords

Extensive list: Choose One, Combo, Counter, Deathrattle, Immune, Overload, Secret, Silence, Stealth, Windfury.

These keywords can appear in every set, except Basic. They expand the Basic ruleset to make Hearthstone more rich and complex.

• Choose One, Combo and Overload are exclusive to Druid, Rogue and Shaman, respectively.
• Windfury is exclusive to Neutral and Shaman.

Evergreen keywords

Extensive list: Discover, Poisonous, Lifesteal, Rush.

These keywords were introduced in a particular expansion, but have also appeared in later sets. If previous cards had that effect, they are modified to include the keyword (see Emperor Cobra or Queen of Pain)

• Poisonous is included in the Basic set in the HoF replacement Plaguebringer. This sets a precedent for using Evergreen keywords in that set, although I don't think Discover would fit the Basic set.

Expansion-exclusive keywords

Extensive list: Spare Part, Inspire, Jade Golem, Adapt, Death Knight, Recruit, Echo, Magnetic, Overkill, Twinspell, Reborn.

These keywords only exist in the expansion they are introduced. If previous of later sets include cards with similar effects, they are worded explicitly (see how Meat Wagon and Captain Hooktusk don't use Recruit, even if their effect is just that).

• Before the introduction of SN1P-SN4P, Echo used to belong to this category.

Year-exclusive keywords

Extensive list: Echo, Lackey.

These keywords can appear in all cards of a certain Year. While Lackey was a year-exclusive keyword by design, the inclusion of Echo in this category is more or less accidental, since the only card that doesn't belong to The Witchwood with this keyword is SN1P-SN4P.

Recurring keywords

Extensive list: Mega-Windfury, Quest, Choose a Deathrattle, Casts When Drawn, Choose Twice, Start of Game.

These keywords appear in expansions from time to time. All of them are very different in nature, however:

• Mega-Windfury has only appeared in two cards in total and has always been a very marginal part of the expansion.
• Quest, on the other hand, has always been one of the core aspects of the expansions they appear in.
• Casts When Drawn is a token-exclusive keyword.
• Choose a Deathrattle and Choose Twice are variations of the Druid-exclusive keyword Choose One. For synergy purposes (like Ossirian Tear), Choose a Deathrattle is considered a Choose One card, while Choose Twice isn't.
• Start of Game was a core aspect in The Witchwood. The appearance of this keyword modified the text of a previously existing card, Prince Malchezaar.

It was a seriously bad choice before Anka was a thing and it hasn't changed since then. Played against another rogue player who used it and all you accomplish is performing a double-edged hack slash to your own win condition as well. Unless you, by some miracle, draw only cheap spells (That aren't cycle spells) then you conceded the game by making it so that you have to spend all of those other cards while taking fatigue before you can win.

Started off at rank 20 and my first 10 opponents were: 7 quest druids, 1 quest warlock, 1 highlander hunter, 1 highlander mage

I'm only playing Whizbang until I get the opportunity to sit down and do some home brew deck building. How does it look for everyone else??

It's out guys, have fun. :)

Does anyone know how to get multiple card packs from the shop screen using in-game gold?  I've seen Kripp do it where he types in the amount he wants instead of having to go back and forth between the shop screen and pack opening screen one pack at a time. Thanks in advance.

With nine new Quests, it seems that we now have a conundrum- which classes (in Wild) have the best results by combining their quests into a single deck?

Here are my thoughts, ranked from worst to best!  Please note that a 5/5 is just okay (maybe Tier 4/3) because these are definitely memes.

Warrior- The only pair of quests with a distinct anti-synergy!  Boo, hiss, 1/5

Warlock- While not anti-synergetic by effect, the Warlock quests have exactly opposite goals.  I doubt there’s enough shuffle in the game to salvage a rapid-draw discardlock.  Maybe I’m wrong, but a better endgame HP change would be Jaraxxus or Bloodreaver. 2/5

Rogue- Somewhat anti-synergetic by effect- you’ll end up with 4/4 legendaries with unchanged costs. Wise deck building could probably offset that, but either way the quests are cannibalizing each other.  2/5

Druid- There aren’t enough big minions with Choose One to make the intersection of these quests’ target cards very big.  3/5 (unless Blizzard changes the rules and lets us have 2 quests, in which case 5/5 because they profit off each other’s weaknesses well if they’re together)

Paladin- These quests don’t NOT work together, and since we’re in wild anyway, there are some decent non-stat buffs that you can apply and copy with the hero power.  That said, both quests are a little bit “meh” on their own, and I don’t see that changing when combined.  4/5

Shaman- Not bad, but not great- a lot of murlocs have battlecry, and doubling their effects can do a lot- Corrupted Seer becomes Flamestrike, Coldligjt Oracle becomes Sprint, and in general murlocs turn into 7-cost basic spells on a stick ;^) But having to ration murlocs is never a good strategy.  4/5

Priest- This one is on the edge, but I think it’s doable.  Play an aggro deathrattle deck, stabilize, and drop your second quest with hopes to finish it by offsetting late-game damage.  It’s a control deck that’s really just three aggro decks in a trenchcoat, but it can still get into an R-rated movie.  5/5

Hunter- The first one that really excites me- I have had some success with Quest Hunter in the past and getting an endgame power by just chaining Raptors (and with Augmented Elekk/Feral Rage shenanigans, that can be 60+ raptors) is exciting.  5/5

Mage- The only one I expect to actually see.  These quests were MADE to be chained together, both will see play (mark my words), and they WILL see play together.  The new Hero Power feeds perfectly into warping time.  5/5
