I only have bad behaviors towards those who behave badly towards me
If you rope me every turn, I will do it back. I am not a serious player trying to grind legend every month and typically play while also watching a movie or show. So I can take as much time as you want to waste in a single game.
If someone spams things like "Well Played" on turn 2 or something similar I will usually not emote back, maybe even squelch. But if I end up winning that game I will spam emotes right back to them right before I make the winning play.
As for netdecking, which many people are mentioning here, I don't mind it at all. I sometimes build my own decks from scratch, other times I pull an existing list and try to adjust it to the desired win condition/combo. And sometimes I just pull a list straight off of community page like this one. A lot of people who play this game don't have the recognition of potential synergies needed to be a great deck builder, which is fine! Even if you are playing a deck you didn't build you still need to know how to pilot it well to be successful (unless you're playing a high-rolling deck like Big Priest).
I occasionally play Big Priest in Wild because sometimes I just want to farm gold! But I have typically played my own version which is less high roll, and more about the memes with win condition of 2 to 4 Ragnaros the Firelord and a Drakkari Enchanter to just watch a second Cataclysm rain down on my opponent's board and face! I typically pull it off with 2 or 3, but in one glorious instance I had 4 Rags and the Enchanter for a huge eight random 8 damage blasts! Built this deck around the last Fire Festival (the one Ragnaros had, not the con artist music festival a few years ago).
I guess I main Shaman as it’s my only gold portrait so far, but tend to play all classes. Depends on what I feel like playing. And lately in Standard that’s been Druid and Hunter with some Mage or Warrior sprinkled in.
Agreed. Per what we've seen with previous issues during a launch or patch release, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone got a couple free packs out of this.
I was thinking about doing that earlier, but I decided to try a Glinda+Mechwarper combo instead. Also watching Kripp do something similar right now and I swear I always seem to forget that Summoning Portal is a thing in Warlock and makes the combo happen so much sooner than with Glinda if you can stick a mech.
Innkeeper is dead. However, they are likely going to make a plug-in to pull collection data from Hearthstone Deck Tracker so they can devote all their time to the site development, not maintaining a tracker.
How consistent have you found the card as a stand-alone or as a combo? I'm mainly asking hoping that as a combo it isn't too problematic in hopes that Mechwarper doesn't end up getting nerfed in wild.
Personally I haven't played against it yet, as I've just been playing around with the card in Wild decks I'm making.
The Mechwarper combo is a bit tougher to pull off as you'd need a way to duplicate Mechwarper (Mage has Simulacrum or Molten Reflection) or to give it Echo (Warlock's Glinda Crowskin). Without a third Mechwarper you don't get the 0 mana SN1Ps. I haven't tried it in Priest yet, nor have I seen if Reckless Experimenter + Mechwarper on board actually makes a 0 cost SN1P-SN4P or if Experimenter limits the Mechwarper ability as well. If it does make it 0 when those two cards are both on board, that could be difficult to deal with in Wild. But it's still a 7 mana combo with the Experimenter and Mechwarper, then having free SN1Ps. If you play a [Hearthstone Card (Galvinizer) Not Found] or two that could reduce the Mechwarper cost though. Plus another mech needs to stick on board to buff and go face with.
I only really tried the combo in Warlock so far with Glinda. I only played 1 match and pulled the combo off on turn 8 after playing [Hearthstone Card (Galvinizer) Not Found] to discount the Mechwarper played (6) Glinda + (1) MWarper + (1) MWarper + infinite (0) SN1Ps. I played Coppertail Imposter the turn prior, and luckily my opponent didn't trade away my Jo-E Bot token because I needed an attack on a big taunt and then one to go face.
One way to get around taunts would be to also include a Skaterbot, allowing you to buff and rush a Mechwarper or two for taunt clears before sending the buffed Coppertail face. However, this could take too long as the Echo card takes a second or two to appear back in your hand and you could run out of time depending on how many things you need to clear.
EDIT: In the past I made a similar deck with a Glinda+Warpers+Zilliax combo, but it couldn't go face. If I had done the same with Coppertail and Replicating Menace it's the same combo as wtih SN1P, requiring the same amount of mana, but with one more board space open. Maybe it'll take off, maybe it won't. I think the most likely culprit would be if that Experimenter+Warper combo brings it to 0 mana still.
Seeing some of the comments in this thread makes me feel so much more encouraged about adding people after a game only to say literally nothing and watch them flip out because they wanted to be flamed and didn't get their attention-quota for the day. Hehehe! Delicious :-P
I usually accept the flamers not for the attention, but to let them just rant for a moment and get it off their chest. If they are that upset over losing a game of Hearthstone they need to vent or they'll explode from bottling up all that anger.
In the occasion that I don't add them it's because they were a special kind of asshole during the match and don't deserve the satisfaction of venting and calling me homosexual slurs, saying they've slept with my mom, etc.
I think part of the issue also might be the fact that with ALL the free CCGs out there, Artifact having a price point isn't a good decision.
Definitely a factor. It's thing if you pay and get a full collectible card game with minimal grind and lots of content. It's pretty bad when you have to pay $20 just to play and then just get slapped in the face with what's basically a f2p business model requiring you pay even more for you to actually enjoy the game fully. Basically payed up front for the privledge to pay some more...
^^^ This! I was interested, but as soon as I heard I had to pay $20, then had no in-game currency to earn more cards... I was out!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes! Although I'm not involved in the site team in any way, shape, or form. I'm just guessing as I'm sure it'll be added in over time. Same with other features on HearthPwn's deck database like "Includes" and "Excludes" if there are certain cards you want or don't want when searching for a quick net deck list, or a jumping off point for customizing your own list.
Blast it. New forum and I can't find a way to add my old icon here!
(ok this was just an excuse to post to the salt forums as I just came here after the Hearthpwn announcement)
...but seriously, can't wait till I can add my own avatar. Or until I figure out how if it's already there :P
I hate when I go to new forums and people don't know they can go to their profile and choose to add an Avatar! Especially when all they need to do is scroll to the top of OutOf.Cards, click "manage" and then scroll down until they see the option to upload a personal Avatar image! COME ON, PEOPLE!!!
Hearthstone Deck Tracker is what I almost always use. Only had Innkeeper because of the HearthPwn collection tracking, etc. Sounds like they plan on developing a plug in for this site to use collection data from HSDT, so I'd go with this: https://hsreplay.net/downloads/
I am hoping to open the couple legendaries and the other additions I'll need to play this Bomb Warrior deck! It's a slight variation of the one Kripp was highlighting during the streamer event with him, Toast, Kibler, etc.
The main differences are the inclusion of Barista Lynchen because I'm an elder Millennial who needs his coffee, and because if these bomb shuffling battlecries are important enough to include 2x Youthful Brewmaster why not have a card that can bounce a copy of your battlecry minions to your hand while leaving them on the board?
The other main difference is the inclusion of 1x Warpath to help combat aggro match ups, as well as to kill off my own Boom Bot army for a potential lethal play.
I assume since there are five "Legendary Quests" in the data mined info that it'll just be one at a time, getting the next after finishing the first, and so on. So you think it's safe to assume we're fine if we don't clear all quests tonight? I would guess as long as two spots are open we shouldn't lose any opportunities for free quest gold.
I read these all in game earlier as I was waiting for this. I love reading the flavor text!
Two that I loved most in this were Never Surrender! and Jumbo Imp. Imp mostly because of the call back to the play sound of Tiny Knight of Evil. (Speaking of TGT, I'm sad we didn't get any Inspire cards... Maybe next set.)
Please provide your source on Whizbang being in Standard, and Zayle never leaving Standard. There's no news that I've seen on Whizbang being put in standard, and no previous indication that it's even a consideration. That said, I do believe that once Boomsday rotates that he should be put into Classic, and even be given away to new players who reach Rank 20 with a dust refund to those who have it already.
And if Zayle doesn't produce top meta decks it doesn't mean it's a failure. I'm sure many people will have fun using the card even if it's not super powerful. Just like with Whizbang.

I would think we get three free, per standard set with past launch/patch issues.
But I’m down for 23 instead! Or 2300 gold to choose our freebies! LOL

A company Blizzard’s size should have three things: “Unity. Precision. Perfection.” ~ Zilliax.
Agreed. Per what we've seen with previous issues during a launch or patch release, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone got a couple free packs out of this.
This is more a question for Blizzard. My guess is it's related to the Arena issues they are experiencing since they'd likely make that a priority.
Also, there's this: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/1695-mech-token-druid
I was thinking about doing that earlier, but I decided to try a Glinda+Mechwarper combo instead. Also watching Kripp do something similar right now and I swear I always seem to forget that Summoning Portal is a thing in Warlock and makes the combo happen so much sooner than with Glinda if you can stick a mech.
Just a quick check on HS Replay, some mech centered Token Druid decks already exist. Found this list: https://hsreplay.net/decks/xNL6kaleNR4ANeflkANE2d/
You could probably swap out something like Flobbidinous Floop for SN1P-SN4P.
EDIT: If you are thinking of something in Wild with all the old mechs, this list could be a good jumping off point as well.
I'm just upset that I forgot to start an arena run yesterday to get rewards AND a free ticket due to my unfinished run expiring... DAMMIT!!!
