    For me personally it is a gold sink at this moment. My FOMO is acting up again and I am now spending my gold on each and every hero portrait that becomes available for gold. I already counted that I have nowhere near enough gold to obtain all of the 133 missing hero portraits, but I will try as long as I possibly can.

    And no, it is not devious at all, because I do not have to collect these cosmetics, I just "need" to, lol 😂

    I really like that you can buy more hero portraits for gold now, but man is it turning into a huge gold sink. Still worth it though.

    Walking Fountain's big daddy, I really love the flavor of the new expansion.

    Most of them are fine, but I am just trying to complete the new XP achievements so I am not bothered by taking losses on the ranked ladder.

    The anomaly which gives +5 HP should stack on top of Prince Renathal's ability, but it does not which is incorrect IMO.

    I will be glad when they become optional again after a week.

    Btw, the new Shaman achievement is buggy; destroyed enemy tokens do not seem to count towards the progress.

    Congrats, Neb! 

    My DK wins are on track to overtake my DH wins; the class is just a better fit for me. 

    I'm sure you've worked your way through the various Achievements, so maybe you'd like to invent a few for yourself. For example, there were a couple years (not recently, and not Heroic) where I would win the Tavern Brawl with every class. Taught me some interesting lessons. 

    Perhaps you'd like to play every card in your collection at least once? Give them all a chance to shine! 

    Thanks!

    Since I am an achievement hunter myself, most of them have already been completed by me. Currently, I am doing the Restless Reader achievement coz it has finally been fixed.

    Afterwards, I will most likely clear the list of Duels achievements. It seems my only motivation to play Hearthstone nowadays is directly linked to completing achievements.

    EDIT: Restless Reader achievement finally completed, luckily I did not need both of the two still bugged lore books.

    Since it is still summertime, getting a 1000 Death Knight wins happened way sooner than I previously anticipated. I guess messing around with Plague DK in Duels was just too much fun! 😅

    The next new class (likely Monk) is not due for at least another year, so what is going to be my following challenge in Hearthstone, I wonder? Suggestions perhaps, anyone?

    I purchased the Tavern Pass for the Titans ... and I got the pass for the previous expansion !!!***@@@@!!

    The latest Tavern Pass always becomes available when the new expansion launches, so it should not even be possible to purchase the new Titans Tavern Pass before August 1st. I always buy these on expansion launch day, to not miss out on any bonus XP and goodies.

    Perhaps they are willing to refund this honest mistake.

    I can already expect at least 1 quest will require us to forge cards X number of times

    For sure, let us hope the maximum number will not be enormous. I hope for 50 which is more than enough, but it will probably at least double this number if not even greater which would suck.

    EDIT: You will need to forge 200 times to clear the entire achievement, so annoying!

    It has been awhile since my last post and I forgot to share my 500 wins with the Death Knight class, but I guess 666 DK wins will do just fine instead. I expect to reach the next major DK milestone, by playing casual duels mostly, probably somewhere during autumn later this year.

    I am curious to know how your 2023 grind has been so far?

    Just a small little tiff.

    You'd think there's enough guys on the pantheon for priest to choose from, so why is Ra-den, someone with lightning on his fingertips isn't printed for shaman instead.

    If we go back to Galakrond's Awakening, his gloves The Fist of Ra-den were good enough for the Shaman class, but in Titans he himself is not, ROFLOL 🤣

    I see, this should be the correct text apparently (and very cool artwork by the way):

    I know there is not much space left to put more words on the card, but at least mention the word 'hand' in the deathrattle. That would have certainly made the wording better. That means it is actually different from Gigafin's deathrattle effect.

    Also, the whitespace after the apostrophe and before the 's' suggests (to me) it is not the final text yet. You even wrote it correctly in your comment, but the card itself does not.

    By the way, wording/grammar aside. I do not think this card is good enough at its mana cost to be very competitive. It does get rid of a minion from the board and can be potentially used by yourself, but if not and the minion has a battlecry, the opponent is able to get value from it once again.

    The wording of Kologarn is pretty weird, so I assume it's not the final text? I imagine the deathrattle has the reverse effect, like Gigafin.

    Agreed, ban either Haleh, Matron Protectorate, Drakefire Amulet or Solid Alibi. Preferably the latter, because it is basically Ice Block 2.0 and nobody likes to face it a gazillion times per game. 

    And while we are at it, ban one of the key cards of the aggrevating Nazmani Priest deck as well. Or even better yet, add the rule that no cards can be reduced to 0-mana cost. Only cards with cost X less should have that ability.

    Seems like a decent distinction between the two behaviors to me. I just do not understand Team 5's obsession with this totally broken mechanic. Unbelievable 😤

    Annoying, right? I think most of us want to get rid of those exclamation marks. If not for the introduction of the confirmation dialog, I would not even dare click on those expensive "deals".

    Yeah, I noticied this myself too and the new confirm dialog actually scared me a bit.

    Is it really free? Why are they asking me to confirm the acceptance of free stuff, lol 😆

    I totally agree and I am glad that I was not the only one noticing this phenomenon.

    My personal motivations for adding Hearthstone decks to OoC is to share the knowledge about playing the game efficiently. This usually happens whenever I reach legend in any format or after completing a very difficult/annoying achievement. I am not making any money on Hearthstone, quite the opposite actually which I have no issues with. Hearthstone still is my favorite digital pastime.

    Hi, it occurred to me several times in the past and today still that most of the Hearthstone decks on this wonderful community site are added by the same handful of people over and over again and very frequently. I am not going to name names here, nor do I really have to because it is pretty obvious which members are doing this (just look at the frontpage). Also, the reason is most likely to generate traffic to their streams/videos/channels.

    Somehow this does not feel right/fair, but I am not even sure this is the best way to describe it. There are no restrictions set into place to limit this behavior and I am not even advocating for it, but I am just wondering about your opinion if you have any.

    Cheers!

    Hi, please add Twist as a selectable Game Mode to the HS deckbuilder, thanks in advance!

    This is my first and probably only ever time day 1 legend in the New Age Twist mode. 

    It is currently the best deck in the format.
