Yeah it looks like we're gonna have to do away with the Quest moniker.
RIP 2017-2019
On topic though, Tome of Origination is absolute fire. Drawing 0 cost cards as a passive with your hero power is some serious late-game awesome for Warlock. I wonder what other cards we may see that will help Warlocks replace cards in their decks...
I like the idea that old card backs are going to come back so people can jazz up their collection / decks with more flavors of Hearthstone. The game has been out for a long time and it has gained so many new fans since the early couple of years so letting them fill up their collection is really cool, even if its years later. I'm not a fan with how they are handling this specific case though.
I do think it is important to differentiate how someone earned a card back. I've had this stance since Ben Brode originally stated they wanted to find a way to bring back older card backs so I apologize for sounding like a broken record to those who have seen me drone on about it.
Some sort of small visual clue could easily differentiate if you had a "first edition" version of a card back. One suggestion I have is to make a "simple" change to the ring around your deck on the board to be golden instead of grey. I realize the majority of card backs out there are likely to be golden, so having a large element around the deck may not work too well. You could instead go for a more subtle approach of adorning the slot with a gem of sorts.
If you do that for a "first edition" card back, those who were around the first time will feel good about being so but it gives them room to allow the card back to be given out again.
It is no secret collection syncing is vital to the Hearthstone community which is why it is so high on the priority list. I've seen firsthand for years what it can do for a site and want to see that exact system on here, but better. =)
It'll be implemented when you have the ability to store your collection on the site. I don't have an exact estimate yet, but it's one of our high priority core features so we shouldn't be too far off.
Ideally, I'd like to see it before the next expansion launches.
I understand some convenience by having both under one, but I don't want to use another site as an example of how to do it "right". Although it would feel familiar, there are serious downsides to consider when putting them together.
The big one for me is I want the guide editing experience to be unhampered by a deckbuilding having to load all the cards and data. The deckbuilder on Out of Cards, although blazing fast when you compare it to the fossil that is HearthPwn, is still extra overhead for someone that just wants to edit their description. The amount of time I have personally wasted on editing small description changes over the years could have written so many more articles or deck guides on the site! I received a lot of feedback over the years that also disliked how slow it was for simple edits.
Another downside is I'd like to do a lot of really cool custom stuff to help people build better deck guides, and putting all that on the deckbuilder page, even if you had some kind of tabbed view (not a huge fan of tabbed views FWIW), may be too much. It also means people expect to have that information on the regular deckbuilder page and that isn't the goal I originally had for the system. The original goal for the deckbuilder was to make it really easy to save decks to the site. Add your cards, give it a name, make sure the archetype and deck type are correct and hit save. Most people don't write guides and use the site to store their decks meaning having to go through a guide editor only to ignore it would be counter productive.
I do see why you'd want to be able to edit both though. If you are changing cards around, there's a decent chance you want to talk about it. Perhaps a better solution would when you are editing a deck's cards, you'd be able to click "save cards" or "save cards and edit guide", the latter saving your cards and bringing you over to the guide page meaning there's one less button to click overall.
I actually really like the RSS Subscription Extension by Google (for Chrome) since it'll let you know when you're on a page that has an RSS feed embedded in it. Great way to discover which sites are still cool.
Microsoft unveiled a new type of Gamepass plan at this year's E3 which includes Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass all-in-one. The name of the new subscription is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and you can currently buy a month from Microsoft for $1 which will also convert your active subscription of Live and Game Pass over to Ultimate.
Now, how do you get this cheaper? Your Ultimate plan converts Live and Game Pass days to Ultimate days. For example:
You currently have 6 months remaining of Xbox Live.
You purchase the $1 of Game Pass Ultimate. It upgrades your live into ultimate.
You now have 7 months of Ultimate (1 + 6 you originally had)
This can be abused!
If before converting your account into an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate account you add a bunch of extra Xbox live time, that will convert 1:1 into ultimate access. Currently, a 12 month card for Live is $60 USD. A year of Game Pass Ultimate is around $180. That is a savings of $120 a year! Microsoft allows you to convert up to 3 years of active subscription time into Ultimate time which means if you buy 3 12 month cards, you save $360 on game pass ultimate and will have it until this time in 2022.
Buy Xbox Live 12 Months (Amazon Affiliate Link - purchases made with the link support Out of Cards)
Amazon appears to be out of stock as of writing for digital codes.
Do note this promotion expires either on June 30 or July 4 so unless you can get physical codes mailed to you before June 30 to play it safe, don't buy through Amazon.
Yeah, they haven't given us an exact time yet but it is coming before the next expansion. I suspect in a couple of weeks so we have a month to play with a fresh meta of new cards.
Yeah it looks like we're gonna have to do away with the Quest moniker.

We're going to have a dedicated patch post shortly. There's some other great goodies too.
Don't news post while sleepy.
Though, that mistake certainly feels validated after the last season =(

I've opened an issue for this so we can get it implemented. Oversight on my part when we added golden support for card image embeds =)

This has been resolved!
Fix is going out now and will be available momentarily. Sorry for the trouble!
MRRGGLTON WHERE YOU AT?
This is gonna be such a good expansion. THE FLAVOR. The flavor is going to be incredible.
Looks like I never responded here, but yeah, it exists now and has for a while!

So, here's the links you need.
I'm kinda happy I've got it for the next 2 years, though 3 would have been awesome.
Latest version of chrome here on my Galaxy S9+ that has a fully updated OS (June 1 security level patch).
I am unable to replicate this issue.
Yeah, we've got an issue with some comments and are working on figuring out our best approach for a fix. Sorry for the trouble.
I'm going to be locking this thread since it is a duplicate.
Yeah, they haven't given us an exact time yet but it is coming before the next expansion. I suspect in a couple of weeks so we have a month to play with a fresh meta of new cards.
Damn Blizzard, you been doing GOOD this year.
We don't need threads like this here, especially in the Hearthstone General forum.
Locked, and the other dude who created an account to cause problems has been banned.
The posts profile link was not supposed to be deployed since it doesn't do anything. But yeah, it eventually will!
It has been a busy week at Out of Cards!
