What don't you like about the current arena reward structure?
I believe the addition of experience which contributes to earnings in the Battle Pass might make it feel better without changing the actual structure of the Arena Rewards, though I'd love to know what you think would make Arena itself better.
Added a link to our Merch store on the navigation.
Avatars now get resized to a maximum of 180px by 180px.
If your avatar isn't a square, it's going to be forced into being one.
Unfortunately, we no longer support animated gif avatars because of this. They may make a return in the future.
Listings on the site now tell you how many results were returned.
Admittedly, this needs to look a little bit better since its very plain, but its functional!
Made an update to our RSS feeds to assist readers in finding our thumbnail images.
Bug Fixes
Hearthstone
Fixed an issue with collection calculations displaying too many missing stars on deck pages.
Removed note about how the collection manager can't be automated and replaced it with a link to the HDT plugin.
Fixed a missing Hearthstone breadcrumb on Tavern Brawl pages.
Fixed collections not correctly syncing. (This has been fixed for over 2 weeks)
General
Fixed an issue where some users were getting Premium access without paying for it.
Polls no longer generate client-side errors if you are not logged in.
Achievement triggers no longer generate client-side errors if you are not logged in.
Regrets
Runeterra
We didn't get out voting and discussion site rewards for the Call of the Mountain reveal season.
There was a bit too much going on to get this out. Our site migration took much longer than originally expected which pushed this back until the point it no longer really matters.
Yeah, he was disappointingly super late. We've now got it in our post (was AFK making and eating breakfast so I wasn't around when he finally got to uploading it)
I don't think it's fair to require "infinite" value from the Battle Pass. If the Gold progression is going to be the same as before, these packs are just icing on the cake and are definitely not the target of the players who grind out full bundles worth of gold each set. If they were to replace them with more Gold, there's less chance you're going to buy something.
At the end of the day, Hearthstone does need to sell stuff to us to remain profitable. I'd be completely on the side of "packs suck" if it wasn't for their clear messaging that nothing is changing to hurt the Gold income for F2P players. Ben Lee even said he personally made 5K gold per set and he expects to make the exact same without changing how much he played.
I suspect we'll get to see numbers closer to the reveal of the next expansion, if not during the reveal. At that point all the math can be done (if Blizzard didn't provide it all) and feedback can be heard.
If Dean thinks this is going to be just as good as today though, that's a pretty big stance to take publicly (Ben Lee has as well) so I see no reason why they aren't behind honest. I don't think the player base would forgive them if it wasn't truthful
I'm very disappointed they aren't pushing digital copies with the purchase. It would be an amazing way to boost the sales and make paper look even larger than it is.
Though, I do agree, they should just make this available as a purchase in MTG Arena itself. It would have to be a bit cheaper, though you would get a full playset since they are cosmetic skins, so it wouldn't be too cheap. I'd love myself some Eldraine lands or those SUPER SEXY Theros gods they put out during the world champs last year.
I think the ban and suspensions is important though. Keeping the games 1:1 makes it very easy to transition between them. Magic already has a lot of rules and is quite a complicated game so adding more confusion into the mix doesn't seem like a great idea. Definitely one of the more unfortunate downsides to their digital format since it doesn't feel very digital.
Now that's a great goal idea! Would be nice to have that immortalized in an email that also tells you about how many Murlocs were played that month. =D
Not sure why you believe we're talking about a different timeline of events. The only reference is with the quote from a Blizzard Employee saying it was only supposed to be available during a short window during Scholomance pre-release (they are certainly mistaken and which is why it was brought up)
I've made a dedicated section for European Merch. This is also linked at the top of the Merch Store under "European Catalog". Anything there will ship from Europe.
For other countries around the world, fulfillment is only in the US and Europe (Though Stickers and Mugs can be fulfilled in Australia too) so if you're worried about import taxes, my suggestion would be to only order an item to possibly skirt through the customs process. For what its worth, when I ordered samples of everything, they came from the USA and I wasn't charged any import duties when they came over the US/Canada border. I also received each of my items one at a time which was sorta frustrating, but that likely helped with that too.
Fulfillment is either in the USA, Latvia, or Spain. It will ship from the closest available source unless it happens to be out of stock. I wish there was a way we could automatically display that information to everyone because I know how much import taxes can suck.
Thinking about it though... I could probably set it up so we had different products based on your region. I'll have to dig into that.
Updated with all English images.
Sorry, but we only allow posts in English on Out of Cards. Locking this thread.
This has been an absolutely insane month. To think that Runeterra and Hearthstone are always going to overlap 3 times a year is a bit much :D

Lucky for you, Aurelion Sol is in our deckbuilder so you can theorycraft!

How so?

Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the dropdown to show the ML in brackets. For ease of reference for anyone who hasn't cruised on by yet:
Personally love the larger 15 oz. Makes for good hot chocolate :D

Damn, I wish I had of thought of that one, HentaiLover.
See, that would just be too smart. I miss the days of the Unicorn Priest hahaha
