    I'm concerned. Why are there Classic cardbacks floating around?

    Talk about an oversight. That's been resolved, thanks.

    Jinx still remains my favourite LoL song, though K/DA POP/STARS is damn close.

    I agree that they really captured the essence of Jinx well in Legends of Runeterra. Her board they added in the most recent patch really took it overboard though and I love every moment of it.

    Whoops! Sorry about that. The blog post announcement swapped Modern and Legacy in ordering from the first section to second. Still though, more care should have been taken >.>

    Just a minor issue: The CDC voting progress bar always shows one card left to vote on, although I have seen all the entries. I'm pretty sure the last one is my own which I can't vote on in the first phase. Could you change the number of entries to vote on to "all entries -1" for the first phase? 

    You're right, that is definitely what is happening there.

    We're in a code freeze for the next <"short period of time here> though so I can't get anything out to rectify this right away. Thanks for understanding!

    Any way to do screenshots from pc?

    Upload them to an image hosting service such as imgur.com. Afterwards get the direct link to the image and hit the Insert/edit Image button in the editor.

    For Runeterra cards, is there a way to link the leveled-up version of the Champion?

    if you add "token" as a parameter like you would with "golden" for Hearthstone cards, it'll pick up the level-up version.

    Yeah, little disappointed they aren't coming out for Gold like the Nyx full arts =(

    Oh well, I already have enough lands anyway so I don't really need the Unsactioned ones...

    ^

    I made an adjustment to the post to make this more clear. I see how it could have been confused.

    Avatar Themes are definitely a rarity at the moment! The philosophy behind them is that they won't be very easy to get because if everyone has them, they become less unique.

    I can confirm these are the ones currently available.

    • Hearth Card Design Champion
    • Bronze Supporter
    • Silver Supporter
    • Gold Supporter
    • Mythic Supporter
    • Deck Architect

    Though, Deck Architect isn't really available since it's a placeholder and I'm not sure what we're going to do with that one. I'm thinking we'll do something deck related that requires people to create the best guides on the site. Maybe it becomes a permanent border for those people or it'll rotate in and out based on how active they are.

    Incredible how fast you're responding to suggestions and bug reports. Thanks a lot, especially for the Card Design Competition related improvements!

    I try!

    We got a bit lucky this morning since I didn't get much sleep last night so I was able to use this gift to put together a small update :D

    Ads

    A new set of ads is now active for logged-out users with higher-resolution screens. These ads display on the "rails" of the site. Logging in will remove these ads, though non-Premium users will continue to see the other ads.

    If you want to remove ads completely, join Out of Cards Premium.


    Changes

    Hearthstone

    • Added card gallery to Card Design Competitions that have ended.
      • They display on the main page for that competition. 
      • Timers no longer display after a competition is over.
      • A winner must be selected before the gallery will display, so don't expect it to happen right when the finalist voting concludes!
    • Card Design Competitions now have a voting progress bar.
      • This displays on both voting and "my votes" pages.
      • It not only displays your progression visually, but also tells you how many submissions there are in total.
    • Added a new bbcode for cardbacks.
      • We're not displaying this in the editor because it isn't something that will be commonly used. It was mainly added for staff to use in news articles and guides.

    Bug Fixes

    General

    • Fixed an issue where rating stars would not update until a page refresh if you decreased your rating.
    • Fixed an issue with the Google Docs formatting removal not working as intended on TinyMCE

    Status Update

    Just putting out a small status update since I'm not certain when a monthly letter talking about the site is going to go live.

    A desktop client is being worked on. Expecting to launch alongside Hearthstone collections before the next expansion in April. Details will come out when I have more to share, so please be patient =).

    I realize this is a bit of an old comment but I'll respond anyway since we've got this linked in the nav.

    The positive aspect of this is that when people see the competition, they can immediately enter. We want to help them be accessible to more people so by allowing entries as soon as people see there is a new competition instead of forcing them to wait a day or more, it has the possibility to promote more submissions.

    The cards that are too similar is an interesting "thing" to bring up though. Even in the old competitions, we could never really stop it, though people understood who came first and typically didn't upvote newer, similar creations. Penalizing creativity though can also be seen as a downfall. If two cards are similar but not exactly the same, one that came later could be better balanced and is more worthy of a win. It'll be one of those things we'll have to consider when making changes to the system.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Some ninja updates went out earlier today for competitions based on prior feedback.

    • Added gallery to the competition "main" page once the competition has ended and a winner has been chosen. The gallery shows all the non-disqualified submissions.
    • Added progress bars to the Voting and "My Votes" pages so you know how many submissions you have voted on so far.

    Changes

    General

    • Improved page titles in several places on the site to better indicate what type of content is on the page ("Deck Name - Hearthstone Decks")
