Ashes of Outland Launch Survival Guide - Everything You Need To Know & Day 1 Decks to Play

Ashes of Outland launches today and we've put together all the information you want to know for the release.

Ashes of Outland releases at 1 PM Eastern (10 AM Pacific, 7 PM CEST)

New Site Feature: The Out of Cards Hearthstone Collection Manager

This morning we launched a collection manager for Hearthstone cards. Making use of it will display custom crafting costs on decks across the site and will show you which cards you are missing to make decks.

• You can access your collection manager by using your user dropdown on the site's navigation. Click "HS Collection".
• Collections are private and are not shared with other users.
• Calculations are performed in-browser to prevent the servers from melting.

We're planning to release a client to help sync collections to the site so no manual work needs to be done.
