I mean we do have pinned thread about using BBCode on the site in this forum section, some stuff from Flux's documentation is missing there tho :P I guess ppl are just not aware this exists?:'(
Good luck to the finalists! Looks like my Valeera didn't get much love.
To be honest, for how weird of an effect it is, it did pretty well, just not well enough to reach finals. You'll see in the Transparency Report once the comp is over ;-)
Arena Hearthstone is an absolute clown fiesta right now with random generation determining who wins the match, people keeping their decks are the least of our worries right now.
Fixed it for you.
Wasnt always the case but yes, nowadays it is mostly about RNG and it sucks.
I think casual mode, similar to Duels, for Arena could be cool and could possibly get more ppl to play it. Then again, the heavy RNG aspect makes things a bit different than it used to. The skill cap and acquiring said skill, which could be done mostly by just playing the game mode, was the biggest factor in Arena once upon a time. And it was very costly to be able to better yourself. With a casual mode with no rewards, but no entry fee, ppl could get a grip on how the mode works and how to draft their decks and eventually move to the regular Arena and enjoy playing it.
Or at least thats what i would have said a few years ago. Im not really sure what to say today. Arena was my main game mode for years and i had thousands of games played and pretty much sustained myself from Arena alone. I loved the draft mode. But the amount of RNG there now, i just cant enjoy it anymore, because the RNG leveled the playing field. Which might sound elitist of me to say, but i think it is fair to want a more experienced player to do better than the least experienced one and have their choices matter. Not always, but most of the time. If the game decides i lose, i lose, if the game decides i win, i win. My actions rarely matter. That is an exaggeration, ofc, if you play like a total newbie you will still lose more often, but the skill of knowing how to draft, what to look out for and trying to bait out stuff or play around just almost does not exist anymore, because the random generators make this impossible.
I think the change to the entry fee, and consequently to the reward system, is the one thing that needs to happen, if there is ever going to be a "revive" of Arena, but im not holding my breath for it to ever happen. Duels were my last hope that with its introduction, especially since it was supposed to share the Arena reward system, would bring about a reword to that, but that didnt happen, instead it basically slid into Arena's shoes, which is bad. Oh well.
This year especially has taught me that sometimes even the simplest of plans can be waylaid by outside influence, so I'm going for a different kind of resolution this time - in 2021, I'm gonna promise to do things that make me happy.
Now that is a nice sentiment, and a smart idea in general. We do neglect ourselves sometimes. I'll try to do the same, but no promises (to myself) :)
Won't change it because people on this site don't vote for my submissions because i was the one that submitted them anyway, and i made the card for my own enjoyment.
Well, you are going in knowing the card will get disqualified, but it should be about fun first and foremost, so if you like the card, nothing is stopping you from using it, if you can deal with the consequences.
The effect on the hero power is interesting and it could be explored further, just not on the card as it stands for this particular prompt, thats all ;-)
Great little story! :)

Is this the skin made for all them Libram Paladins out there?:D
So when you are askes for your digits now, just tell em how much dust you have! 😂
It wouldnt make sense, if achievement score got reset.

Use the Card ID instead of its name (same goes for HS, LOR). You can find the ID in the card's URL on its card page.
So [mtgcardimg]17612[/mtgcardimg] is this
while [mtgcardimg]30682[/mtgcardimg] is this
Already a thing, if you use
[mtgcard]Sylvan Library[/mtgcard]
Sylvan Library
or
[mtgcardimg]Sylvan Library[/mtgcardimg]
I guess we are missing the buttons in the editor for it thought :)
Not a full month earlier, but yes, there might be a shift to the regular expansion launch dates, we will have to see.
It is funny that a 5-cost Evolve seems to be as problematic as a 1-cost Evolve. Something to be said about that.
Wow, great implementation of each of her abilities! Really great job! The keyword is something that could make it into the game as well. Hats off! :)
I lol'ed :D
That is very true! :)
Damn, i assume that is with Tavern Pass? And did you do XP achievements yet?

How many snowballs thrown at the end of the event? Care to take a guess? Say #1 and total :)
