On the eve of launch we've drawn winners for our United in Stormwind mega bundles giveaways! Thank you so much to Blizzard for providing the bundles for us to give out.
Twitter Giveaway Winner
Congratulations to Olavium for winning. Their favourite card going into the expansion was a great choice, Elwynn Boar.

Random Deck Winners
As you may know, we had three bundles to giveaway via our site and two of these were going to go to random community members who entered our giveaway thread.
Our first random winner was Zelgadis with their Winfury Stealth Rogue deck! That Battleground Battlemaster is certainly a star here.
Our second random winner was NinoMH with their Antonidas Gambit Mage deck! Its always lovely to see horizontal rules inside of a guide, it really adds to the readability!
Chosen Deck Winner
The third, and final, mega bundle from our thread is a staff choice. We wanted to pick the best deck guide that was written and, damn, I wish we had more bundles to giveaway for some awesome content creation. This was a tough one to judge, especially because what one person might find useful in a guide is going to differ from another so we always have a chance of some bias being introduced.
Before we get to announcing the winner, I want to showcase a handful of the decks that were considered. This list is not the only decks that had some great guides created for them, but it is the ones that made it into the top. They serve as good examples of what guides on the site could look like if you throw in some time in writing up a storm and giving it some thoughtful formatting. I really can't stress how tough it was to pick a single deck. Stop being so good! (Don't stop being so good though!)
Ultimately though, we could only choose one. The winner of the final mega bundle is KANSAS for their Shudderwock Shaman wild deck!
All our winners of the deckbuilding giveaway have been private messaged on the site. We've already been in contact with our Twitter giveaway winner.
Congratulations to everyone who won and a big thank you to everyone who participated. I really enjoyed the different pace that this had and we got some great content on the site for the upcoming expansion launch. The thread also drove interest where we saw other folks viewing and upvoting decks which is a nice change of scenery.
We will be spotlighting several of these theorycraft decks within our survival guide to the expansion and over on our Twitter account, so keep an eye out!

Grats to the rest of the winners. I'm blown away by how lucky I was and very much appreciate the bundle. Mage is my favorite class to play and that Katrana portrait was high on my list of "wants". So thank you OOC and Blizzard for the chance ♥
I do have to give mad props to the guide winner KANSAS, super job on your guide, it truly was a treat to read. So very well deserved indeed.
Runner-ups had amazing guides as well, so kudos to everyone!
Grats all! I knew I didn´t have a slightest chance to win against all of you, but it was fun trying to get together a working deck with a flavour and giving a thought about a proper guide, while fighting with the formatting, card names and such :D
Thanks OOC for this awesome idea for the giveaway.
Cheers! :)
Congrats to the winners. Its actually been more fun than I expected, especially reading through some of the decklist submitted through. Makes the pre release season a lot more enjoyable.
Looking forward to the release, when I'll certainly be testing out the decks Ive made all that writing for and hopefully to make them work for real.
Congrats to all the winners! This was my first guide so it was cool to get a shoutout :)
I've done a little bit of theorycrafting for past expansions, but I never thought too hard it so my decks never really made much sense. Writing this guide got me to really think about my deck and its gameplan, which ended up transforming it into something completely different than what I initially had in mind.
I had a ton of fun writing my guide and seeing those that other people made, and I feel like I became a better deckbuilder in the process. I'd love to see more of this kind of giveaway in the future!
Congrats to all the winners! Have a good expansion launch everyone! :)
Thanks Out of Cards so much for hosting this giveaway! I can't believe I actually won a mega bundle!
Oh man, as a free to play player, seeing that I made it into the top 7 but didn't win is frustrating, exciting, and an honour. Thank you for this giveaway! I have to agree that KANSAS's guide is better than mine, though. I hope you do this again for the next xpac so that I have a chance to step up my game. :)
I think this went over pretty positively so I hope we can have a chance to do this again next season. Little worried about how many entries we'll have to go through, but it is worth it.
Your guide was incredible! It was actually one of my favorites when I went through them all last night, so here's to a job very well done!
Thanks, NinoMH!
Congrats to the winners!
The shudderwock guide definitely deserves first place, glad to see I was at least a runner up though!
Congrats! To everyone who submitted a deck, well done! This was an outstanding effort by the OOC community, so many of them have fantastic guides, it's a joy to read them!
What's to like about a guide is very personal indeed. These are all a bit too detailed for my taste which makes me lose interest in reading the entire guide. They're still well written guides, just not for me. So congrats to the winners, enjoy your mega bundle! And I definitely had fun participating, so thanks for the event!
Many thanks for the bundle!
Usually I don't submit decks until I've played a few games with them, but this giveaway was a good reason to push that habit aside. Let's hope the deck doesn't just work in theory.
Congrats to all the champs!!
But seriously, though. I never thought that making a deck and writing the guide could be this fun. Thanks for the experience, OoC!
Omg! Thanks for the shout out! I guess my time as a textbook editor (almost) paid off! Gotta study the winner for tips, and maybe 'll get my first mega bundle next time...
Seriously, super fun competition. 10/10
Congrats to the winners!
Congratz to all the winners !
I guess i should give more attention to my guide's style to make it more readable. These guides looks more beautiful when you compare them with mine. Mine is like a text soup. :D
aw nuts, i thought i had it for sure :p
Congrats to all the winners!
I really enjoyed the creative combo you setup and if Brightwing does end up generating Bolner on that small slice of the RNG pie, easiest rewards track XP! I hope someone ends up making a video of it in action for the sake of hilarity.
