    No need to open separate thread to talk about the same thing twice, if you have anything to add to the discussion, please, continue in the original topic, thanks:

    ok thanks,  it is pretty rare right? i never seen a trade for champs but i will keep it in mind for now own.

    Im not sure what are the conditions, maybe you can potentially force it, as with some other stuff during drafting, but yes. I think i had it offered to me 2 or 3 times only so far. I think at least 2 of those were at 6wins going to the last match.

    It is possible, cause you can be offered to trade champion in a Trade pick after a few games, especially after 6th win. Once, i had 4 Garens in my deck, it was pretty awesome :D So many Garen's Judgments <3

    Yeah, the game feels too fast at times. I think it is great, but maybe they could slow it down like 20-30%.

    Was the trap played before Manasaber? That could have an impact on which is considered to be resolved first ... or it is just badly coded, could be too.

    You do get 100xp per win as well tho, so there is a bit more progression than just the end reward. And you get two trials.

    But i agree, the recent cut on the Expedition XP was unwelcome, especially for someone like me, who mainly plays few Expeditions a week and not much of regular play outside some daily wins or quests. I understand why they want to bring more focus to the Ranked play tho.

    In reply to 6 win rewards suckkkk

    In Expeditions, you can often have better than constructed decks. Dont think of it as HS Arena style.

    The drafting format with alternating Wild/Synergy picks makes this especially potent. Pay attention to what buckets you're being offered, not just the cards. Your first two champion buckets often decide more than half of the cards (buckets) ur offered down the line.

    That being said, if you start picking a certain bucket in WIld Picks, you can shift the direction of the buckets offered the more you pick the same one, if for example you just wanted the initial champion for itself, but dont much care about the synergy in its bucket.

    Lately, i often gravitate very heavilly towards Frozen Solid bucket when offered as a Wild pick whenever i play Freljord (since it has most Frostbite cards), even tho i might not have started with it. So after a few rounds, it spills over into Synergy picks as well.

    I must admit, it took me a few minutes when i first saw this card until i realized how it works (without playing it). The past tense of cast being the same word does make it a bit confusing at first. Yes, it is one of those cards that once played, you will know how it works forever and i guess it is ok, but i can understand the sentiment where FortyDust is coming from.

    You cant reroll legendary quests, i mean you can reroll, but they dont work in a same fashion as when double gold or dust event is up for example, sou you cant reroll your regular quests into them, nor can you reroll to duplicate. Just do the ones you have ;-)

    Thanks for the reminder. I would have forgotten it this time and just barely made it yesterday in the evening because of the android issues.

    Glad at least someone made it in time! Yeah, mobile client issues suck.

    Well... I missed out on this. Had a weak draft, ended at 2:3 and now I get the "This Arena will end soon" message and cannot start a run to get the free ticket. Bummer. Did not know there was a transition close period.

    Sorry to hear that. Yeah, there is usually like a 6 hour period before the reset. Im still not sure how long exactly and once or twice iv got reports that ppl could start the run like half hour prior, so like it is not best to leave for last second :)

    Pretty great bundle for new players who never opened any pack from these sets. If they're lucky, they can get quite a few legendaries.

    I would really like to have a music themed competition where you would have to make a card based off of a song. 

    Or you could do some other kind of pop-culture type thing where you make a card based off of a movie/book. Or maybe even another game. But I think I would enjoy music the best.

    Pop-culture competitions are notoriously difficult to manage, because not everyone has experienced the same things. What if you make a card referencing a book no one else has read, or reference a "classic" movie that not everyone remembers? It's doubly difficult because our website is not relegated to a particular nation. Someone who visits Out of Cards from the United States might have read/heard/watched different things than someone from Norway, England, France, Japan, or wherever.

    We had similar prompts in the past at HearthPwn, and they were a bit of a mess :(

    Pretty much what Linky said, tho pop-culture references, if done right (in any theme), can be obviously a big plus for the creator and can garner more votes, Blizzard does them too after all.

    Sadly no Rumble run treasures in the finalists

    Shirvala's protection and that one warlock card with Overkill: remove the top 5 cards of your opponents deck were the ones i really liked and i belive had a chance of the finals

    That one with discarding 5 cards on overkill was busted as hell, would be pure easy mode from the moment you played it since it was an 8/8 for 5 mana if im not mistaken, so it would trigger multiple times. You would have to be really unlucky for the opponent to have an immediate answer, which most bosses dont.
