I've completed my voting, but didn't get the Explorers title. Will those be awarded somewhere in the future or immediately on completion? Might go for the Scholar this time as well but I'm not sure if I'll find the time :D

This post is basically the only place where you can find a link to the Tavern Crawl page. Could you please give it some more visability?

Hey Flux, that's cool stuff! Thanks for all the work and the transparency :-)

I've found something that's not working yet:

Mobile, Android, browsing with Google Chrome (let me know if you need more details)

In the Hearthstone Realm, the navigation doesn't work properly:

• If you click on "Decks", there's only one class showing at the bottom of the sub menu (should be all of them or none imo)
• Clicking on "Cards" doesn't open a sub menu (very important feature!)
• Clicking on "Deckbuilder" is missing the "Import a deck" option

Thank you so much for pointing this out, I kinda feared it was a reference to that skibidi toilet nonsense

I'm totally with you here. Like many of us I stuck with Mage exclusively for quite a while when I started playing and I've enjoyed decks like OG Tempo Mage a lot. These days the class is pretty boring to play and often miserable to play against, especially in Wild (looking at you, Quest Mage and Secret Mage). Even Hero Power Mage and Mech Mage were kinda cool until they got nerfed... But in all honesty, I've given up. I've dusted nearly all my Mage cards and kept only what I consider the "ultimate" Mage deck from a flavor point of view. It's not meta relevant by any means but it's also not helpless on ladder. I'm slowly upgrading it to fully golden :D

I'm here for Pirate Rogue stuff. The Wild list has lost the top spot among board based aggro decks to Shadow Priest (not to mention Even Shaman is very hard to beat), we have to take it back! How about a Pirate Giant that gets discounted for every Pirate you've played this game or a Weapon that gains attack with every Pirate played lol?

The things people do for imaginary internet points... sigh. That said, the set would have needed a card like this. Of course it's a bit overtuned, but who is going to pay 8 Mana for a 3 damage aoe?

Speaking of Skull... have you seen the supposedly leaked DH legendary on reddit?

There's a supposed leak for the second legendary on reddit that also fits the Big Demon archetype. It looks pretty busted but the account that posted it is brand new and doesn't respond.

Looks promising overall, I really like Big Demon^2 Hunter!

I didn't stay up until the last reveals yesterday so I woke up today and checked the automated discord channel for the new cards. Now that I've also checked other sources, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined because Owlonius' art doesn't really feature the goggly eyes.

Please give me a ping on discord when you're done cooking or share your deck in article!

I've finished the Skyward series by Brandon Sanderson yesterday and it ended up landing somewhere among my all time top 5, maybe even top 3. Book 1 and 2 are exciting, fast paced, creative and just a ton of fun all around. Book 3 was some tedious but necessary character building. Book 4 just completely blew me away. I've sweated through my clothes, I've laughed out loud, I've cried, I got engaged with the story like I rarely do. Big big recommendation for anyone who likes Science Fiction and / or YA.

It's rainy and I've stayed up too long because my book was so exciting. Meh.

The flavor of the card is nuts, the hero power looks busted for Standard, the Battlecry is meh. With the current rainbow dk success and the upcoming rune changes for the Core set (Hematurge!), I'm pretty sure this will see a lot of play. dapperdog got me thinking though... I had a surprisingly decent Even BBU deck in Wild some months ago. It focused mostly on handbuffs, but maybe this might find a home in there. Too bad the new handbuff cards from Whizbang's Workshop are all Odd costed.

Maybe "toxic" was the wrong word here. For me, stuff like Sharpshooter and S'theno combos are neither much fun to play, nor to play against and I get the impression that's a common sentiment. At the same time, Demon Hunter has no clear win conditions outside those. So while a buff to the cards you've mentioned would be very cool, I'd still be very concernced about the overall viability of the class if that's all that's coming.

Yes please! I also sorely miss the countdown on the main page, it was my go to place to find out when the next reveal is going to happen :/

Nerfing Sharpshooter and buffing the rest of DH sounds like a dream come true for me. The class needs some serious help. Fingers crossed they come up with something that's ladder viable, fun and non-toxic. Probably too much to ask, but it's a start and then maybe the new expansion brings us a win condition for Illidan.

The Harth Stonebrew card and the class gift cards have been revealed and while nothing looks OP, I'd say Warlock, Warrior and Shaman are definitely something I'll consider adding to my decks. Harth's card is probably garbage, but it has a new text line: "(Once per game)" - imagine the devs applying that to Time Warp and Ice Block!!

The rune changes for DK are so awesome! My only worry is that I might lose the golden Patchwerk I got for reaching 500 wins with the class due to the Core set rotation. Can someone confirm or deny this?

Other than that, the Rumble cards look neat, imagine combining the new legendary with Paladin's aura spells...

First update of the year with the first goal for 2024 already in the bag: 1.000 wins with Priest! I would never have gotten there without the introduction of Darkbishop Benedictus, Shadow Priest just really clicks with me :-)

I've also managed to reach an optional goal for this year in January already by improving my best ever rank by more than 100:

I will now focus on Demon Hunter as that awesome 1.000 wins portrait is finally coming into reach. If I can keep up my pace from January, I'll get there next month!

GG to you too man, I was sure you had me when I first ran out of snow.

Whats next? Any duties that come with being the snowman of the year? Do I get a sash and have to open malls or something?

(honestly, a forum title or something would be nice :D)
