Hej!

Could you change my username to KH183, please?

Thank you.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! A lot of the weekend was spent on the backend so there isn't much to present. Card Pack opener should arrive at some point this week since there wasn't enough time to get it out this weekend.

New Features

• Animated Card Images!
  • Visit any card page to see a golden animation of the image.
    • This took a TON of work last week and took a few days to render every card in the game.
    • We decided to use the exact same templating we had back on HearthPwn for those that have templates that use card images so no extra work is needed on your end.
  • The cardimg bbcode also supports animated images.  will give you a nice golden version of the card.
• Animated Card Backs!
  • Visit card back pages to see their animations too!
  • No bbcode is available right now for card backs.
• Strikethrough text in the editor is now available.
• Mana Curves are now available on deck pages. They are found above a deck's card list. I know no one wanted these =)

Changes

• We now link to patch notes on card pages where we list a change for a card.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that caused dust calculations to not give the desired results. Second copies of cards weren't added to the math. Oops.
• All decks that were flagged as Standard when they were really Wild have been batch fixed.

Writing to suggest that the Decks and Card pages have a more robust filtering process, I'm guessing it's "on the list" but wanted to offer suggestions.

Having filter values of "unknown" as default values is bad design, IMO.  Don't think you should have "unknown" as a choice at all.

Same with the Archetypes, none or blank instead of "unknown".  Also who defines the archetypes? Is it a self assigned thing? Do people pick from a list or do they just make it up on the fly?

It would be nice if it was possible to sort decks like "the site that will not be named" does by "Hot", "New", "Top-Week", "Top-month", "Top-all-time".

Cards don't have the ability to search by minion effects (deathrattle, battlecry, etc).

Will we have the ability to view the cards in a list (as it currently is) or as images?

Do you have a list or schedule of all of the up and coming changes on the radar?

Thanks for all of the work you do on this site!

Was climbing ladder and had a miss play, noticed that the echo copy does not get a discount. I think that’s whack, but was still able to win the match. 

Hello!

I tried to look around in this feedback forum section for similar requests, but couldn't really find one.

Under the "Cards" section, I was wondering if it's possible to implement (in the near future) a thumbnail image view for all cards at a glance (for all classes, all cards, etc.), rather than full texts. Similar to the Deckbuilder layout, but we could filter and refine based on what we want to see in order to brainstorm and build new decks.

Perhaps we can limit the number of cards loaded per page on the search results, to prevent from loading too slow. And perhaps could set like 20, 50, 100 cards view options.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am designing my first custom class, and I have no idea where to get art from. up to this point I have just been making miscellaneous cards for card competitions on Hearthpwn (none of which made it to the finals) and it has been fine just googling for the image I need. But when making 20+ cards, well, I need a more reliable source of unique arts. Can anyone who makes a lot of custom cards help me find a place where I can get a lot of good card arts? Thanks in advance.

I noticed a table on the forums that was completely unreadable on mobile. It was 6 columns wide, and for some reason it would set the width of the table to 100% and put all the words vertically.

So, I'm a fan of the fun and crazy variety of characters in Warcraft lore, and messing around with them in card form is one of the main reasons I play this game. Everything from human knights to lovecraftian old gods to robots is fair game for these characters. That being said, a lot of well-known characters have yet to make an appearance in Hearthstone. What lore characters do you think are overdue for an appearance in hearthstone, and would you rather see them as a Legendary or a hero?

Just looking for opinions or synergies I might've missed...

This one so far has had an above 50% winrate, which for it's cost and considering it's jank, is pretty good. Deck relies on SMOrc-ing so maybe taunt silencing could work.. also the obvious Deathstalker Rexxar backup plan. Thoughts?

I have been wondering about the hero power selection in the heist adventure and it seems like the hero powers in the adventure might be alternative hero powers in common play in the future..

Of course not in the same balance since they are a bit overturned for the adventure but a toned down version (or even buffed) might be something that might appeal to team 5 to implement into HS in the future..

Think about it many cards/archtypes team 5 tried to push failed due to lack of consistency, for example "freeze" tempo mage(the one with tempo freeze cards) or overload shaman, or rush/enrage tempo warrior decks..

I think such decks have been held back by the lack of support in the hero powers, there seem to be some hero powers that might support those archtypes while still being basic enough for the game.

I will give my idea about implementing the heist hero powers into standard play will try to keep it as brief as possible as this post is already too long anyway.

Do note that I am  balancing them around "the effects cost either 0 mana or 1 mana and a drawback"

By upgraded I mean the baku hero power.

Mage: 2 mana freeze an enemy. upgraded: and deal 1 damage to it

Shaman: 2 mana draw a card overload (1), 1 mana might be too OP, at 2 mana it enables overload synergy easier, while having a clear draw back. upgraded: draw 2 cards.

Hunter: opportunist from heist is perfect as is +2 attack is balanced by the fact you need to have rush or already present minions to activate it. upgraded: +3 attack

Priest: 2 mana lower the attack of a minion by 2 until your next turn. upgraded: by 3

Rogue: 2 mana burgle a card from another class (not sure might be too OP, no idea how to nerf it but it's a "0 mana" effect) upgraded: burgle 2 cards.

Warrior:2 mana deal 1 damage to a friendly minion give it +2 attack upgraded: +3.

Druid: 2 mana give a friendly minion +1/+1. upgraded: +2/+1

Paladin: 2 mana give a friendly minion divine shield. upgraded: I am actually not sure.. maybe the other one supporting hand buff is more healty.

Warlock: 2 mana, take 2 damage deal 2 damage. upgraded: 3 damage taken/dealt

Now are you thinking how would they reward them to players.. well there IS a pointless system currently that tracks your hero level that level is totally pointless from level 10, it could after level 30 for example unlock the alternate hero powers which you will choose on deck building, also the hero power will need to show up on the hero portrait for clarity so you can mulligan for it better.

What do you think will blizzard/team 5 introduce such a change in the future, and used heist as a testing ground for this feature?

Title says it all, but I will explain it for better understanding: Wild players create Odd/Even decks. On Hearthpwn, we can filter cost of cards as Odd/Even. So, why not here?

Now this one really needs attention because it helps people to build their deck conveniently. On Hearthpwn, we can preview a card when we hover over a card, as seen in the picture (Yellow: Mouse cursor, screenshot didn't bring it out):

Whereas, on OutofCards, it's not possible, seen here (Yellow: Mouse cursor):

Hope it's possible to bring both features here, especially Thumbnail one, because it can be quite annoying when you forgot a card's ability and you need to search from pictures to find it. With thumbnail, all we need to do is hover over a card's name and that's it.

P.S: I want this thread deleted, if possible. It was the same thread opened about a week ago.

Hi guys,

I'm having lots of fun with my version of Zoo Priest. The Prest draw with Northshire Cleric and Bwonsamdi, the Dead is awesome with Magic Carpet and the other 1-Drops. Still trying to get to the ideal lineup, mainly with the 1-Drops and the buff opportunities. Any suggestions?

Greetings

My Zoo is cuter than yours

If you want explanations about them ask here, I only did a guide for the Paladin one.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to download a cards artwork with the golden animation and make it into a profile picture here on OOC, preferably without/or cropped from the cards surrounding frame.

Thanks!

What class/deck do you play to beat Mech Paladin?

Put in the store for a free MTGA booster pack.

Hi, just a simple question, will we be able to merge our old hearthpwn accounts with the new ones in this forum? I am mainly thinking about the achievements and titles I got there :D

Is there any problem advertising a stream and/or youtube channel in signatures?

Assuming the answer to the above question is no, is there a specific problem with advertising an addiction recovery channel?  Subject matter would be solidly in the PG to PG-13 area, but I realize some see it as a touchy subject.

Couldn't think of a better spot to ask this question.  Thanks for your time.

I mainly play for fun and enjoy creating my own decks that fit my style. Before the update I was playing a Dragon Shudderwock deck with moderate success. It pushed me from rank 15 to rank 8. I am not too concerned with climbing ladder, but I do want to at least be competitive with my decks. Since the update I have been facing so many aggro decks that I am beaten by turn 7 since my deck plays slow. I made some tweaks to make the deck stronger at the beginning and middle and it seems to be doing ok. Just wanted to see what thoughts you all have on how I could tweak the deck.

Here is the old deck:

Here is the new deck:

Second rotation in the Year of the Dragon happened on June 3rd and brought 4 new sets of cards to Arena!

How is the new rotation treating you? What classes you think are the top dogs right now? Did some jumped to the top or get knocked down? Or is it the same old same old? What cards do you like the most from current pool? And which drive you crazy? Tell us!

Current card pool for Arena:

• Basic
• Classic
• Goblins vs Gnomes
• The Grand Tournament
• One Night in Karazhan
• The Boomsday Project
• Rise of Shadows

Classes by win rate (source HSreplay, at the time of writing):

• Paladin (53,3%)
• Mage (52,4%)
• Rogue (51,7%)
• Druid (51,2%)
• Warlock (48,6%)
• Hunter (48,5%)
• Shaman (47,1%)
• Priest (45,4%)
• Warrior (39,2%)

Top 10 class cards that are being picked the most (+neutrals):

What can we see from the data collected so far, there is little to no AOEs, which shouldnt come as a surprise, since the current sets didnt introduce many, at least not in the common/rare slot.

Mage and priest, and to some extent rogue, have advantage from having good aoes in their basic/classic sets with high offering rates. Other classes are not so lucky. Early tempo is still the name of the game. Many classes that could play defensively and value decks in the last rotation, like Warlock for example, lost most of their control tools, so they are forced into aggro/tempo archetypes, which is further supported by the type of cards in the current pool.

Keep in mind that this is obviously a very early report, but should give you some idea about how Arena looks at the moment.

Happy Friday! Wrapping up some bugs for the end of the week and documenting changes from earlier in the week that didn't make it into dedicated notes.. oops. Work continues tomorrow!

Big weekend goal is to have brand new card images imported for better consistency on the site. This will very likely include animated cards and animated card backs. The Pack Opener may also make an appearance this weekend, if not, it will appear early next week.

New Features

• The card back gallery! This has actually been live a few days.
  • It automatically updates with each patch once assets get rendered.
  • You can comment on individual card backs.
  • In a future update we'll let you favourite card backs and maybe even rank them!
  • What else would you like to see us do with card backs?
• You can now change your password via Account Management.

Changes

• Decks now flag themselves only based on patches where card changes occurred, not small bug fix patches.
• Deck Listing patch drop down now only displays patches with card changes.
• Sortable columns now display arrows indicating the direction of sort.
• Deck Listing Updated column now sorts by newest first on first click.

Bug Fixes

• Dust calculations on decks now correctly counts duplicate cards.
• All dust calculations and standard / wild flagging has been recalculated.
• Added Hearthstone breadcrumbs where they were missing on the site.
• Site sign out will no longer redirect you to our admin page.

I just tried logging into B.net to access HearthStone and I got this generic message ''Its a busy day for Blizzard services ... blahblahblah .. estimated wait time 170 minutes'' ... 
Is there a special event or something going on or is Battle.net Client/Server simply down?



Edit : By the time I was done with the post - no time at all - my estimate went up to 208min

Hello there!

As you know, the specialist format allows players to have similar decks with only 5 different cards. I was wondering if it would be possible (or even a good idea?) to have the possibility to create "versions" of a deck.

The idea is simple : on a deck page, you have the main list, with explanation on the left side, and maybe it would be a good idea to have "delta lists" (probably under the main deck, on the right side), where you just have the few cards that can be changed (with -1/-2 and +1/+2 next to them) plus a title above them, "Against Warrior", "More aggressive", "lowcost", you get the idea.

The cherry on the cake would be to be able to copy the deck code of alternative decklists.

Love the site so far!

One thing I didn't like on Hearthpwn is that there were errors when it comes to Total Dust calculation. If you look at this deck, you need 15020 dust to craft it. However, when I calculated the required dust with either Excel or calculator, it's exactly 15420, which is 400 off. Picture is here:

Then I checked my another deck, which requires 17720 dust to craft. Yet, it shows I need 19940 dust to craft, which is 2220 off. Here is the proof:

So, which one is wrong? Me or website?

"Edge LULW" I know, but I feel like this is an issue that should be addressed regardless.

On other browsers (for example, I'm currently using Chrome) it shows the expansion watermark next to the card. However, on Edge it's just a square of colour, as can be seen below.

On Chrome:

On Edge:

In addition, while I can type out comments, forum posts and deck descriptions, I am unable to submit whatever it is I am typing. Finally, hovering over the page dropdown lists works on Chrome, but not on Edge.

On Chrome:

(very responsive dropdown menu)

On Edge:

(no dropdown menu)

Now, I realise that this is a new website and it's going to have it's kinks, and I will admit that I would have never been able to make a website even remotely close to this. However, I still think that it's important for these issues to at least be brought into the limelight, because if nobody talks about a problem then it won't be solved.
