I got busy with site stuff and made it to level 70. Also, Battlegrounds isn't great for farming experience so the Hearthstone that I did play last expansion, minus the first week, didn't amount to much in the rewards track.

Imagine running a Hearthstone site and not reaching level 100. OMEGALUL

I think this went over pretty positively so I hope we can have a chance to do this again next season. Little worried about how many entries we'll have to go through, but it is worth it.

I'm going to be disappointed if this doesn't happen now.

I really enjoyed the creative combo you setup and if Brightwing does end up generating Bolner on that small slice of the RNG pie, easiest rewards track XP! I hope someone ends up making a video of it in action for the sake of hilarity.

It sounds like this might be a client performance thing. If you clicked on something while something else was executing to change the mode, a fragment of the other mode may have been interrupted and left in place (in this case duels stuff). Rare to happen, but definitely an issue that will need to be solved. Thanks for the report.

G'day! We've got some United in Stormwind mega pack bundles to give out courtesy of Blizzard. We're going to be doing something a little bit different this time around that involved deckbuilding with the new cards.

We are giving away THREE Mega Bundles in total in this giveaway.

How to Enter the Stormwind Deckbuilding Giveaway

1. Create a Hearthstone deck on Out of Cards via our deckbuilder and save it to the site.
   1. Your deck must contain some United in Stormwind cards.
   2. Your deck must have 30 cards in it.
   3. Your deck may be for the Standard or Wild formats.
   4. Your deck may be for any of Hearthstone's 10 classes.
   5. The name of your deck must be descriptive of the archetype.
   6. Your deck must have the "Theorycraft" tag.
   7. You may use an existing deck you have created on the site for United in Stormwind.
2. Write, at a minimum, a 2 paragraph guide (170-200 words total) to teach players how to play your theorycrafted deck.
   1. Your guide is written after your deck gets saved from the deckbuilder. Click on the "Edit Guide" button on your deck page.
   2. Guide plagiarism is grounds for disqualification.
   3. Try to talk about the new cards and how they work with the archetype.
3. Embed your saved deck as a reply to this thread using the "BBCode" found above the deck list.

How Winners Will be Chosen

• One bundle will be given away to a deck guide author as chosen by Out of Cards staff.
  • We will be judging the guides and picking the "best" one to receive the bundle.
  • We're ultimately going to pick a guide that does its best to educate the community on their theorycraft deck.
  • Formatting will be considered, so make use of headings, horizontal rules, and other available options where it makes sense.
  • Tips: Do not change the default font sizes or fonts. Do not bold your entire text. Do not use text colors (card bbcode is okay though!). Link cards using card bbcode.
• Two bundles will be given away randomly to two deck guide authors (one bundle each).
  • All respondents to this thread that follow the above rules will have their name entered once into a list.
  • The list will be inserted into random.org and we will have the site pick two winners for us.
• The number of upvotes on your deck do not matter, though we do encourage participants to find decks they like from other community members and give them some appreciation using the upvote function.
• If we find anyone abusing the downvote mechanic on decks, you will be disqualified.
• Staff are unable to win the bundle that is chosen by staff members.

How Winners Will be Contacted

• We will be contacting winners via private message on Out of Cards.
• The competition entry period ends on August 2 at 9 AM Eastern.
• We expect to post the winners list in a news article, and private message the winners, by 11 AM Eastern on August 2.

What is in the Mega Bundle?

• 80 United in Stormwind card packs.
• 5 Golden United in Stormwind card packs.
• Battlegrounds Perks.
• Ve’nari Alternate Battlegrounds Bartender (Pre-Purchase)
• Lady Katrana Prestor Mage Hero Portrait.
• 2 random Golden United in Stormwind Legendary cards.
• Lady Katrana Prestor card back.

Good luck to everyone! We'll also be spotlighting as many decks as it makes sense to inside our United in Stormwind Survival Guide.

Once again, thank you to Blizzard for providing the prizes for this giveaway.

Yeah, Sule left us some gems in this one :D

I wasn't aware of this. That's really cool if it is indeed the case!

To add onto that, most of the content that folks consume for new expansions is Standard so it makes sense to focus on it heavily.

That's not to say we shouldn't put out wild content, because its also important, but the "main" game for most players that are still playing constructed is going to be standard so its easier to talk with a larger audience.

There are plans to get these onto the portal pages as well. The site doesn't currently support placing this kind of content on portals though which is why we haven't done it yet.

The countdown also needs a rework in being made "game aware". Countdowns currently can't have a game attached to them so the site doesn't know where they are allowed to be. This is also something I'm hoping to have added because it would be incredibly useful.

Thanks for the feedback!

Now we do =)

I should add - I still want to do both of these events. I think if we can do something for Stormwind around the mini-set it could be fun. It may even be a better idea to do it that way going forward because it makes the whole reveal area less chaotic. At that point we also have full knowledge of the expansion which can lead to potentially better content within the event.

Sorry we didn't have this up during the reveal season itself. Usually these close when the expansion launches but just to be fair to everyone, we'll let these rewards stay up for a few extra days, through the release weekend. Get your votes in as soon as possible though please - it helps us with our compendium data.

Re: Site Gold

The shop will eventually be filled with stuff to buy with it so for now, hoard!

I also know the next question will be why didn't we get a Stormwind event. My answer ties into why the Birthday event still hasn't happened - there are so many things going on and it has been that way for the past few months. There were events roughly planned out and the time fell through on the execution. Hilariously, I honestly thought I was going to take a week off in July but that never happened.

Also FWIW, we do have a Duels article in the pipeline that should be arriving today.

Its not being ignored, there is just a million things going on right now. There are only so many hours in a day =/

I don't think that's usually the case. Maybe it takes some time for it to properly catch up?

I honestly thought it was a mistake, but its pretty clearly the rules on the Twitch Drops page.

Honestly, that Ramen card back has been tempting me for over a day now. I think its Ramen-o-clock tonight!

This is wrong.

It is indeed you get all three skins on paid track, but for the free track you receive a choice of a hero skin that is in a pool of 10.

I've been craving a bowl of ramen so bad since I first got to see the image of it. There was some salivating that began when I saw the card back existed.

Ramen will definitely be had today.
