Hearthstone
August 2021 - Master Duelist
Greetings everyone, and welcome to the first episode of our brand new Duels series: Master Duelist.
To be more precise, this series will focus around creative deckbuilding in Duels, Hearthstone's most recent game mode.
Every three weeks we will create a new Duels challenge, consisting in building a starting deck with a certain restriction; every player will be invited to join and build a deck with said restriction: we'll even provide some samples ourselves, so that you won't be forced to go to the drawing board yourself.
Everyone is invited to join and share their results, doesn't matter if you play Casual or Heroic of if you're not already a Master Duelist. We do not discriminate here! Moreover, those who'll be able to provide worthy results will be gifted with a different award every time!
Twisted... To Perfection!
As the challenge's name might have hinted at you, the first Duels challenge we're hosting consists in building a starting deck including Y'Shaarj, the Defiler and at least 3 Corrupt cards.

Challenge's Information and Rewards
This challenge will begin today, August 10th, and will end on August 31st. During this window of time, you'll have to start a Duels run with a starting deck including Y'Shaarj, the Defiler and 3 other Corrupt cards of your choice, either class or neutral cards.
Everyone who posts proof of a 7+ wins run in the dedicated submission forum thread will be awarded with a different amount of Gold, an in-site currency you'll be able to earn from different activities and that will be used to purchase cosmetics in our in-site shop. Remember that, in order for your run to count towards the challenge, you'll have to provide an appropriate proof of your feat; otherwise, your result won't count.
Here's a quick breakdown explaining the rewards you'll receive based on your performances:
| TOTAL WINS | GOLD EARNED |
| Best result (both Casual and Heroic) | 200 |
| 12 | 100 |
| 10-11 | 50 |
| 8-9 | 20 |
| 7 | 10 |
Whoever obtains the best score will also have the chance of suggesting the next challenge's theme!
These are the criteria we'll use to determine the winner in case of identical scores:
- A Heroic run will be considered more difficult than a Casual one, therefore Heroic players will have the priority.
- If you get the best score overall with a 10-wins run in Casual and somebody else gets a 10-wins run in Heroic, the latter will be the winner of the challenge.
- In case of more people getting the same score in the same mode, the winner will be decided by the submission time.
- The quickest person to a Heroic run with a 12-0 will be the ultimate victor.
- If more players will get to 12 wins, losses will count as well: a 12-0 will be considered better than a 12-2 or a 12-1.
The winner will be contacted through Direct Messages, where the next challenge's theme will be discussed. In case no one will be able to hit 12 wins before the deadline, the next challenge's theme will be decided by none less than Avalon himself.
If you want to submit your score, follow the instructions in the forum thread.
