Interesting panel. There was a lot of random chit-chat that didn't really give us anything interesting so it was not included.
The Metzen story was awesome though. The panel really was one of those ones where watching it was more valuable than reading a recap, which is unfortunate for those without a virtual ticket.
BTW, we have a Hearthstone-specific card reveal season bingo coming out too. It'll go up during BlizzCon once we get some expansion art to decorate it with. Can you guess what square this is going to be :D
We don't have a filter for species, it is only for Tribes. Some other things are listed there that are internally relevant to Hearthstone at some point and we should probably hide them as to avoid confusion.
No plans to do a filter for ard text lines. I think this is a very niche need and a good chunk of the results would be inaccurate anyway without plenty of human intervention, making it too taxing to keep up with. I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone on our team that wants to go through over seven thousand cards to make sure they're correctly flagged with how many lines of text they have :D
I do appreciate your enthusiasm for the feature though. Let us know if you ever have any other ideas!
They've always stated "classic card pack" in the blog post which is why I feel like they made a mistake by not including the set name this time around.
I'm floored that Choose Your Champion has not be announced. This will be the most eyeballs on Hearthstone since its, ya know, BlizzCon and they'll be talking about a new set. Though, 5 packs for idling for 6 hours is a lot better than the 2 packs we were getting before.
They also didn't mention what type of packs you'd get in the random drops, so I'm assuming those too are Uldum packs, I just find it weird they didn't 100% clarify that. Definitely inferred by how they wrote the post, but part of me thinks it was an error and we're getting classic ones lol.
You're right, that's actually not at all helpful considering EVERYONE has access to these cards. I'm deploying out a change right now that will change the crafting cost calculation when decks get saved.
Any deck created after this moment that uses cards from the 'Wild Event' set will properly see those costs as 0. I'll still need to run a calculation on all the other decks on the site though with those cards to fix the crafting costs.
Edit: The process to update dust costs on all decks has begun. It'll take a while to go through but it should make finding cheap deck options much easier.
I do gotta say though, with the main stage stuff being free on day 1, if I wasn't actively covering BlizzCon, I'd probably rethink the ticket purchase since not all the panels are always worth watching. All the stuff that really matters is now going to be free, and for Hearthstone specifically a single panel outside of the expansion one is kinda meh.
Luckily for me though, I play almost all of the titles which makes all the cosmetics alone worth the price.
They've spent the past few years really diving into getting the League of Legends lore fleshed out!
With them working on lots of new games, its no real surprise they wanted to make sure everything in the realm would have a solid base to work from. You might be interested in checking out the Universe site where they have stories, biographies of characters, and a ton more. I should link this in the original post.
Not certain of the fate of our dear forums just yet. May allow categories to be collapsed as a preference on the forum listing. Homepage likely inherits the same settings as news, with off-topic and the relevant site forums also being included and not opt-out.
The achievements UI still needs some work - it was put on the backburner to prioritize other features.
Achievements that were limited-time and no longer obtainable will not display on profiles that have them incomplete after that gets fixed. Progression towards achievements with multiple criteria is also supposed to display.

There will be. Please see https://outof.cards/hearthstone/432-everything-you-need-to-know-about-descent-of-dragons-blizzcon-reveal
Yeah, the normal version will be available. Not certain exactly how though.
Sylvanas makes an appearance in the expansion's story.

The moment Commander is added to MTG Arena will be the moment Commander quadruples in popularity.
I really want MTGA to support every format ever. I hope with time we get there =)
Yeah, this is definitely one of those brawls where I'm going to skip over the Classic pack lol.
The news didn't drop until yesterday afternoon. None of the three spoke publicly about it.
Oh my god.

Ah, I misunderstood, sorry about that!

The real way to fix this is once we have collection data on the site so we can tell you what a "budget" deck for you could be.
Yeah, I'll get one out when the next site update hits with the deckbuilder.
Nothing else teased yet unfortunately.

Super hyped for their anime and I expect we'll try and cover it in some way if there is anything interesting / new that comes out of it.
