    Hey Flux,

    The Death Knight cards don't show up in the collection. I don't see them either filtered by Expansion (KoFT) or Type (Hero). In fact it looks like all Hero cards are missing, not just Death Knights. 

    Looking into this, thanks

    I've yet to look into anything for Mac though I do have a MBP so it'll be something we will actually look into, unlike another site that never did. It is very likely that we'll end up with 2 separate applications.

    This is definitely the right way to do this if you have a large collection already =D

    I'm sorry stuff is manual right now, but I thought the addition of the button and plenty of filters should help everyone input less cards manually. Especially when you consider that commons and rares should be very easily collected for each set, now you only need to really worry about the epics and legendaries being input.

    One thing I'd like to add in is the ability to only show cards that you haven't collected yet so there is less junk in the list when adding new cards. Also, sorting the cards in the same order they are in-game would be very beneficial.

    Yeah, when I was opening my packs after around 30 I saw a duplicate common card and thought things were broken. Then I did the mental math and was like oh yeah, this really is that good. Then I started to see duplicate rares and still had quite a few packs to go.

    I knew this was going to be good for the game, but until I actually cracked open packs and experienced it for myself, I didn't appreciate it as much as I did. Definitely no longer need to order both pre-orders to get a good chunk of your collection done which is awesome.

    I'm not able to copy decks in to HS currently.  Not sure if this is an issue with the game itself or the codes from OoC.  Or just me... (probably just me).

     

    EDIT: I tried copying into HS Deck Tracker and it's saying the code copied from OoC is an invalid code.

    "Clipboard contains no supported url or deck code."

     

    Second EDIT: It might just be an issue with Demon Hunter deck codes.  Copied in Libram Pally just fine.  Highlander DH wasn't working.  Looking off the Launch Day Survival article.

    Demon Hunter codes should work now. Sorry about that!

    Yeah, that was wild. Jumping right into card reveals without a break between them and the expansion announcement was very different and made for no time to get stuff prepared. Good to see the HS team do it though!

    A button has been added to the collection manager to make the process of adding cards easier!

    "Bulk Add Filtered to Collection" is the button and it will add the maximum number of copies of each card that is currently filtered. Let's give you an example of how this is useful.

    Let's say you own every copy of Ashes of Outland common cards. By changing the Expansion filter to Ashes of Outland and the Rarity filter to Common, pressing the button will insert 2 copies of each card into your collection. By then hitting Save Collection, your collection will be updated on the site with 2 copies of each Outland Common.

    Or maybe you're missing 2 cards from Classic's set. You could filter the Expansion by Classic, hit the bulk button and then manually remove the two cards you were missing. Hit save and you've got your Classic collection synced up to the site.

    The bulk add button will not add additional copies of cards over their maximum playable, so don't worry about that one!

    Hearthstone Collections have arrived in their first iteration just in time for Ashes of Outland. We'll make this a quick update post.

    • You can find them under your user dropdown on the site navigation under "HS Collection".
    • You cannot currently share your collection with friends / other community members.
      • We'll be adding an account permission at a later date to enable showcasing your collection to the world. Default off.
    • Calculations are performed client-side so we don't murder the servers.
    Important Notes

    I regret to inform you we don't have a client available yet for automatic syncing of cards. I know this is incredibly disappointing for a lot of you, especially considering there isn't much time before Ashes of Outland hits to input collections manually. To say the last few months have been tight on time would be the understatement of the year.

    Also, the goal was to allow you to find decks using the deck search feature on the site by using your collection data. This is not live right now because the site needs to be monitored during a time where there is less traffic (not an expansion launch) so we can stay online. We've had a lot of downtime recently (any downtime is unacceptable to me) and although the problem has been fixed and we won't run into the same issue again, these calculations take quite a bit of processing so I'm not confident turning them on right away. I'll likely enable these calculations for Out of Cards Premium users first, so we can get a better idea at how the site handles them without turning it on for everyone. I don't have an exact date at when this will happen.

    The Future
    • Desktop client for syncing collections.
    • Adding cards to your collection from deck pages.
    • Improved interfaces
    • Pity timer tracking

    Thanks for your continued support!

    They wouldn't have continued if I didn't think they were worth it. The stats have proven they are worth doing, especially considering they don't take much time to put up. If comments were an indicator that a topic shouldn't be repeated on the site, I guess the only thing we're doing now is giveaways. Organic traffic comes in with the daily deals posts and some of that gets to crossover into our other magic content which makes them even more important and is the reason why we've been using them to also promote Brawl Haul.

    I'm sorry you don't like them, but as I've said in the past they are useful for the site. I hope you can understand now more than ever why this is the case.

    Arthas is the Servant of Flux!

    Though I didn't remove it from him. Perhaps we'll change up his title.

    So, a small issue was pointed out to me. Arthas, our bot, ended up winning one of the forum title packages. Due to this, another winner has been drawn in his place. Whoops, commented out the part that prevented him from getting picked.

    Congrats to Shivershine who joins the Servant of Illidan peeps.

    I wish we could get all the logged out people to register accounts and take part. Things would be even better!

    Congratulations to all our winners, and thanks to everyone for helping us get voting data so we can release our compendium. If I don't hear from our winners within 24 hours, we'll redraw the names.

    The profile headers won't arrive until we patch the site with an update, so for everyone that unlocked one of those, you'll get them soon!

    Yeah, I don't even want to know how expensive one of these are going to be.

    Perhaps "new cards" was a bad way of putting it.

    Agreed, Mutate definitely looks like it will be an absolute blast! Lack of summoning sickness is a little worrying though lol.

    I'm a little iffy on the "commander" cards being added through the Companion mechanic, I think it might be a bit too powerful, but Wizards is above average when it comes to card game balance and we haven't see the full set of cards yet so I'll revisit that thought later on.

    We've got a new "Year of the Phoenix" filter available under game formats now. Please use it!

    Standard will be changed over to use the new meta sets right before the expansion goes live.

    Heya!

    I've released a small update to the deckbuilder for this. Standard itself will filter these cards just as they're about to release next week, but right now you can use the new "Year of the Phoenix" filter found under "game format".

    Hope this helps!
