Very informative thread.

First time updating the site live! (Well second if you include the deckbuilder issue earlier I fixed while on stream LUL) 

Site performance has looked good throughout the day which is awesome to see. Here's the details of tonight's small update.

New Features

• Added support for RSS on news articles.
  • The main RSS feed for all published articles can be found here.
  • All "folders" of content also have RSS feeds. Here are the ones for Hearthstone and Guides.
  • Any browser addon that detects RSS will display the fact that a feed exists on those listing pages.

Changes

• The comment count on news article listings can now be clicked to jump right to the comments section for that post.

Bug Fixes

• News article listings now correctly display comment count for the article. (Was previously only working on homepage)
• Fixed an issue with the deckbuilder not allowing users to submit decks due to a bad hard-coded path. Oops!

Why has this essential feature been omitted ?

A new Legendary Neutral Minion, Zayle, Shadow Cloak, has been revealed!

I was wandering if entering hearthpwn community for some months, but I never did it because I dislike curse for some old Minecraft experience.

Now I did it! :)

I'm Synesthesy from Italy, I'm a coder and I'm a huge fan of trading/collective card game, and I'm trying to create my own. In my free time, I like to play wild hearthstone with some stupid fan homemade deck.

Hope to enjoy this community!

Hey everyone! As we mourn the loss of HearthPwn, I've decided I don't want to see this game go. Although I joined in pretty late on the original thread, I had a lot of fun writing and guessing riddles.

For those who are new to this game, here's how it works:

I'll start by giving a riddle which describes a single specific card in Hearthstone (only collectible cards, no tokens or adventure exclusives). Then, the first person to correctly guess the card gets to come up with the next riddle! 

Now that the rules are out of the way, let's get started with something easy!

Five mana down the drain

Two cards in the hole

Who dare's summon me?

For you can't anymore

^

I for one absolutely love Dragon Consort, it's just so sexy and let's not forget it allowing me to summon other sexy dragons even faster? OOhh gotta get me a freak like that.

Ysera would have to be the runner up, she'd be even better if she'd survive longer than 1 turn.

Title Card by Vilegloom

Introduction

There are artifacts in this world that hold great power. The power to bend the will of all who stand before its wielder. The power to harness the arcane energy that courses through the veins of this world. The power to turn its user into a beast that can cut down any foe. Should these weapons fall into the wrong hands, Azeroth would fall into chaos. The Earthen Ring has taken it upon themselves to protect the world from the most destructive weapons on Azeroth, storing them away in the deep recesses of Deepholm. But evildoers desire to take these weapons and use them for their own diabolical plans. Can you help this organization preserve the safety of this world?

Themes and Mechanics

The expansion's unique keyword is called Crystallize. When a character is Crystallized, it means it's encased in a Crystallize that protects it from everything, prevents it from being targeted, and takes away its ability to attack. When the controller's next turn ends, the character that has been Crystallized will be destroyed.

Deepholm is coursing at the seams with magical energies, which many seek to harness to strengthen themselves. Several cards this expansion benefit from Spell Damage in unorthodox ways!

The Crystalarium was made to hold dangerous and powerful artifacts, so that evil people can't use them to wreak havoc upon Azeroth. All these weapons must be attacked with in order to get their full power out.

F.A.Q. (Even tho no one actually asked)

Q: What year is this a part of?
A: It's part of the fictional Year of the Viper, which it shares with Azeroth's Most Wanted, the expansion that came before it. Just pretend that Year of the Viper happens alongside Year of the Dragon.

Q: What sets influence The Crystalarium's balance?
A: Currently, Azeroth's Most Wanted and all the cards that are currently in the standard cycle.

Q: What are the full plans for this set?
A: Voice acting for the cards, more lore, perhaps a logo for the expansion (and the previous one), stuff like that. If you wanna help, feel free to shoot me a DM if you wanna help!

Other Expansions

(Viper Set 1) Azeroth's Most Wanted

Cards We're Nerfing Because We Hate Them

This card breaks our national treasure, Nexus-Prince Zakat from Azeroth's Most Wanted. That card replaced your Hero Power with one that worked similarly to the Coin. We love that card way more than we like Coldarra Drake, so we're taking our frustration out on Coldarra Drake. Especially since Coldarra Drake sucks and doesn't see any play, and thus basically only exists to ruin our cool ideas. So Coldarra Drake got nerfed.

For anyone who would like their username changed, requests can be made in this thread and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Hello everyone!

I heard the terrible news about hearthpwn closing and heard some users say they were gonna come here.

Hope this will be a great experience to everyone.

Cheers !

Title.

For me, it's been fairly great! I mean, the grind is a hassle and some matchups get really annoying and tedious, but I am managing to climb really well. 

I took a really long break from HS and it's pretty fun getting back into it for the last couple months.

Anyway enough rambling, are you guys enjoying this season - and also, where do you rank currently in ladder? :)

Thief Rogue, with the bomb package for fun. I plan on reworking the deck with a more bomb/mech oriented package when the RoS Buffs happen.

Deck ID Not Found

Hi!

Wanted to know one thing: is there going to be a fan creations section (like on hearthpwn) where people can share their custom cards ? Also, what with card creation competitions (WCDC or CCC) ?

I know thats probably gonna be a tall order, but do you have plans on supporting the card sounds on their page? That was often a main reason i was skulking on Hearthpwn, listening to card sounds and looking up ones i didnt properly understand. As it stands right now, theres no HS site that supports this properly (that i know of).

Thanks, and GL with the site!

Two suggestions:

1. Please add a RSS feed for he main homepage news that you post

2. Please add some basic search functionality to the forums to prevent duplicate posts

Keep up the great work!

Can we get these threads replicated from Hearthpwn? They were definitely very useful.

What is your opinions on the new buffs and the new legendary?  

So with the announcement of HearthPWN leaving the spotlight, I'm assuming that Innkeeper is also going to be heading the way of the dodo.

With that in mind, does anyone have any advice on a similar app that can be used to monitor your deck as you play on the desktop app vs the mobile one?

Next Arena rotation will happen in less than a week. On June 3rd to be exact!

(source)

New drafting pool will contain these sets:

• Basic
• Classic
• Goblins vs. Gnomes
• The Grand Tournament
• Karazhan
• The Boomsday Project
• Rise of Shadows

Free Arena Ticket for Unfinished Run

Since the old sets are rotating, the "old" decks should get retired which means we should get an arena ticket for our unfinished run.

Now keep in mind, this is the first time such rotation happens, so we dont know exactly if the old decks will get retired for sure and/or if we get the Arena Ticket for unfinished run. Logic dictates that it should be yes on both accounts, but until next week, we cannot be 100% sure, so keep that in mind!

Side note: even tho the rotation happens in the middle of the season and many of you might not need/want more ROS packs, it is still cheaper dust per gold value than if you bought packs in a shop for 100g, so id recommend doing it either way.

/edit: Blizzard confirmed that we will be getting a Free Arena Ticket for unfinished run this time around. There could be like 1% chance it is cause of the bug with the countdown, so still not 100% it will happen next time around, but we will have to see :) Go start your runs ppl!

In terms of the art, audio, and animations of the card and not the power level. What cards stand out the most to you for whatever reason?

Catrina Muerte has a great intro and i enjoy when it's played on either side of the board. I made sure to get a gold copy of this because i love to play rez priest and resurrecting golden minions is awesome.

Convincing Infiltrator is another one i like the flavour of. The voice line and art is just amusing every time.

Underbelly Fence is my favourite of the rogue cards. The voice line is really good, although i am still unsure exactly what underbelly fence means.

Finally Archmage Vargoth is such a cool card. The art is bright and exciting and i never got tired of hearing 'free of that blasted tower!' repeatedly after he summons copies of himself.

We've got about a week before several cards from Boomsday are getting buffs. What do you all figure will be the biggest changes in the meta? Personally i'm really interested to see what can be done with Extra Arms in Priest. That will be a very flexible card to enable healing synergy and resilient boards. A 1 cost [Hearthstone Card (pogo hopper) Not Found] sounds ridiculous though.

Besides that, how do you feel about this happening and about the fact that the meta is changing again in a potentially significant way?

Welcome back! This serves as a changelog for site stuff that has been changed since HearthStation was shut down back in April of this year.

Changes

• Most mentions of HearthStation have been changed to Out of Cards.
• Emails from the site have been turned on and come from the outof.cards domain. (You can reset passwords now!)
• New social media links in our footer.
• We have a new temporary logo. Bye HearthStation!
• Hearthstone specific "stuff" has been moved into a "/hearthstone/" url path.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where subforums displayed incorrectly on forum listings.

So far expansion has been fun as hell. Conjurer's Calling has been game busting so far. Turn 5 Khadgar into a Mountain Giant for a board of 4 7/8's with taunt has been so satisfying.

How's everyone spending their last few games before RoS is live, if you are playing at all? I've been having fun with OTK priest thanks to the early legendary and it's pretty fun to set up a board of archmages to cast a barrage of Mind Blasts. IveI got the list i am using, and an idea of how i may attempt to play it in the new standard year.

I like to make a lot of decklists prior to new expansions, and I would appreciate the ability to sort them by class, date created, date last edited, etc., similar to how it works on Hearthpwn. As it is right now, it kinda bothers me that it's apparently sorted by a field that isn't visible on the profile page, making it appear to be a random order.
