Hallow's End 2019 begins at 10:00 AM PT on October 8 and runs until 9:00 AM PT on October 30!
The Dual-Class Arena Hallow’s End dress-up party is back! When you start an Arena run during the Doom in the Tomb event, you’ll choose a Hero, then a Hero Power, and card offerings will feature cards from BOTH of those classes, in addition to neutral cards.
To ensure that players have a chance to try out this devilish dual-class deck-building dress-up party, weeks 1 and 2 of this event will award Arena Tickets on login!
IMPORTANT: Players who have an active Arena run when this begins will have their current run ended and will receive an Arena Ticket as compensation.
Play out your run to x-2 (x wins and max. 2 losses) if you want more rewards from your run, or just leave it at 0-0 if you dont want to bother playing.
Friendly Neighborhood Gladiator: if you do plan on leaving your run at 0-0, might as well start two games and concede to two players, getting some positive karma :) You will get the identical rewards for 0-0 and 0-2 score.
So far, the announced sets for this event are:
Curse of Naxxramas
Goblins vs. Gnomes
Blackrock Mountain
The Grand Tournament
League of Explorers
Whispers of the Old Gods
One Night in Karazhan
Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
Journey to Un'Goro
Knights of the Frozen Throne
Kobolds & Catacombs
...meaning we might actually not have Basic and Classic sets included. Interesting.
FAQ
Q: When should I start my run to receive a free Arena Ticket for a retired run?
A: Ideally several hours before the event start/end, arena entries are generally closed few hours prior.
Q: Will I get another Arena Ticket, if I keep an active run before the event's end?
Q: Where are my rewards for the retired run? I opened my arena rewards but didn't get any pack or gold/dust.
A: This is a known bug, arena rewards are actually awarded to you once you finish your last game, before you open up the reward boxes. When an arena reset happens, it gets even more confusing because this happens on log in; sometimes you have to restart the game. People often see (1) pack in their inventory, don't think much about it, go open it and then go collect arena rewards only to find out they didn't get anything. But the fact is, that (1) pack on log in was actually the one from the arena rewards. Same with gold/dust, it was already added to your account even before you opened the arena rewards. You didn't lose anything.
Sorry, that was my bad. We originally had wrong sets listed (current rotation), or were they wrongly listed originally in the blog too? When i made the edit, i added Basic and Classic for convenience, but it is true that was just an assumption, we dont know for sure as of yet. Tho i cant rly imagine rotation without them, even tho it would be an interesting experiment.
The new arena rotation surely means "Classic" instead of "Standard" right?
Yes, haha. Thanks for pointing that out. They actually didnt list "Basic" and "Classic" sets in the blog, i added them for convenience. Id assume they will be there, cant rly imagine they wouldnt lol, tho it would be interesting scenario for sure :) But i removed them for now to not confuse ppl about already confusing situation that is them not being mentioned in the blog.
If you have time and taste for it, i say go and make a great guide! Even just putting the words down give you something back already, it's like going through your replay, you write down how a deck should be played and you might realize you sometimes miss a step here and there and this could remind you to do it corectly :)
Very good analysis! I will add some thoughts on possible changes:
Mana Cyclone route seems good, but maybe not good enough. Feels like you would still have rather small amount of spells to really go out and i learned this myself playing some conjurers mage that not pairing the Cyclone turn with Elemental Evocation gives you so much less room to play out your turn. The 2 mana difference is a big deal. If you dont have it, you can never do the combo in the early to mid game, cause you will not get a good value out of that play.
Also, another thing i learned in a deck that aimed to generate card advantage through spells was that Dune Sculptor is an amazing -and very underrated- value generator. Can generate win conditions on his own: Kalecgos, Archmage Antonidas, Hex Lord Malacrass and so on. And not only that, a lot of mage minions are quite powerful in general.
A little pet-peeve to leave you with: for the love of the god, allign left or right, not left and right! My eyes! :D
There will be a "subscribe" option in the future for most of the content on the site and you will be able to get to it easilly and get notifications etc. Sadly, for now you only get notified when someone directly responds to your comment or if they respond in a thread/deck you yourself created. We know its not enough, but have to prioritize the work load. But be sure this will be a thing ;-)
For now, i suggest saving the deck's page into your browser's favourites and check it ever so often for new comments.
Your posts were accidentally automatically marked as spam, sto. If you want to go ahead and delete whichever ones you don't want, please do!
If this happens again and your post doesn't appear, please let us know about it before posting again with similar content so you system doesn't incorrectly flag more of it. Overtime the system learns what is and isn't spam, it's just so new without a large database of "good" and "bad" that we have these silly cases.
Ideally we'd let you know if something gets marked as spam so you can let us know about faster, that'll have to be something we add into notifications.
Sorry for the trouble.
(It might not like lots of quick edits though since its lots of repetitive content, we have seen some of that. Will need to be tuned a bit better towards it most likely)
Has this been going on for a longer time? I recall having had a post or two of mine disappear but it's been a while
This will be very interesting. Could possibly be their way of testing how ppl respond to bringing some Wild cards to Standard and test the water in general for this kind of thing. Same way they did with arena only cards bringing in super crazy effects where some of them eventually made it into the game in some itteration.
Fair enough, i could see how one could possibly be confused by that. I put the mention about the MrGnome's article at the end together with the question asking what you think about DS, i think that should clear any confusion.
pwn was never built to support mobile, not in a great way anyway. Maybe new owners will eventually make the change, who knows. Im just glad our site is mobile friendly, or at least we try to :)
Yeah, was about to say that too. 100% you could have added it based on the battlecry cards, it would just work, but i understand why you didnt. Also, i kinda expected Nzoth, but more so since i also expected Shudderwock, since they would compliment each other.
You can, but the event copies disapear after the event, so you will be left with nothing :)
Honestly, when i first read "next major update", i kinda assumed next year's rotation lol. Guess we'll see

These are just event bundles, expect exclusive skin for the preorder of the new xpac, id say.
Definitely a legendary from the next xpac. Hard to say if it will be a random golden legendary as with preorders or a specific one.

You must not have read it very carefully, if you missed several paragraphs talking about the "Why" :)
Yes, that should be a thing in the future ;-) No ETA tho.
Yes. For maybe a month now or so.

I know, but you would get a superb value, another two Thadiusses plus again with Shudderwock :D yeah, it is slow as hell tho :D
