2022 is almost over and with that comes the time to start fresh.
I know a lot of folks have been interested in some of the merch that Blizzard has sent out to "influencers" over the years and as someone who was on one of those lists for a while, I've obtained quite a bit of swag. Honestly, I don't have the space to make use of it all and almost all of it immediately gets locked away into storage, never to see the light of day again.
Because of this, I've decided to part way with several of the unique Hearthstone goodies in the collection, all while doing some fundraising for future projects on Out of Cards.
What Influencer Swag?
Blizzard sends out promotional swag during new Hearthstone expansion launches. I've been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of many of these, including one for the launch of Mercenaries. Here are the drops I posted about on Out of Cards:
- Scholomance Academy
- Forged in the Barrens
- United in Stormwind
- Mercenaries
- Fractured in Alterac Valley
- Voyage to the Sunken City
It was never a requirement to share any of these photos, but it was an opportunity to use the items as a creative outlet in some cases and I genuinely just believe they are cool items. These items never become available to the general public, so there are very few of them in existence. I couldn't tell you any specifics about the run of them, however, there are only 250 Hydralodon art pieces in existence, so that's gives us a better idea of how many kits may have gone out worldwide for Voyage to the Sunken City (assuming Blizzard employees don't get some too).
Items Up for Auction
All items can be found on the FrostyVoid eBay account.

Firstly I didn´t want to participate as I´ve already won the premium memebership, but I like the green sock, so I might give it a try :D
My top 3 fav moments were:
To watch the Worlds, with my favorite Jarla getting to the Top 8 and Bunnyhoppor winning the whole thing - it was amazing to witness!
Same as ArcyroX said before me, the new conversion system for the excess coins for Mercs is a very nice feature.
Adding a new class was exciting in its own, but the deckbuilding potential of the DK class is amazing.
Anyway good luck all and have a successful year! ♡
Oh wow that's really kind of you Flux! Really cool giveaway ✨
There's actually been quite a lot that's happened in 2022 so I'll just list them all at random that personally made an impact for me:
Oh and can't forget the continuously awesome site OoC and respectful community ✌
I finally made it to legend in December 2022, and my in my final game I used a randomly generated Objection to counter my opponent's Sire Denathrius. Felt good to put the Sire in his place and get my card back.
My favorite moment was honestly the release of events in the client. I love these events and the rewards that come with them.
My most tickling moment was nobody bringing Death Knight, even though it was unbannable.
Thanks for doing this Flux, that's very generous of you!
I'm probably suffering from recency bias but my two highlights were
Good luck everybody!
This year I completed all the achievements by following the achievement strategy of out of card, I am proud of myself, thank you for the achievement strategy provided by out of card, I will continue to support you next year.
Happy new year everyone! I'll share a couple of my favorite Hearthstone moments from this year:
The first one was a day during Sunken City when I hit Legend in both Standard and Wild in the same month, which I had never done before as a primary Wild player. I didn't really plan to do it, I just remember falling in love with Control Shaman during the first months of the year and playing it until it was nerfed. In that period I also played Beast Druid in Wild, one of my favorite decks of all time.
One highlight of the year was surely publishing my custom expansion on the fan community forum. I was also very hyped the day the Death Knight assets got leaked, revealing that the final expansion of the year would contain a new class (despite the fact that I was rooting for Monks!)
My favourite moment is the first expansion Voyage to the Sunken city. It's trailer, vibe, atmosphere of the expansion, meta and collosals so cool.
But the best thing of course is CRAB RAVE that I'm still listening while training and on my Ipod))
definately the excess coin fix for mercs. even tho the conversion rate is terrible, it is still a use at the end of the day
Accidentally queing into ranked with a jank "Oops! All Lifesteal" lifegain-and-defense absolutely-not-serious casual deck and finding out, for the very first time, that the entire meta was burn decks and getting a pocket of 4 players in a row utterly tilted that they were at least two damage from winning the game by burning me down from full life, all while I'm saying "why is this trash winning?"
The random assortment of cards I put together in 25 seconds and didn't play with any care was more successful than the grand plans I had for clever and interesting decks.
But, as sad as that is, playing the Unexpected Reno against someone working way harder than me for the win was sublime. Stupid, but sublime.
Prince Renathal would be my favorite. It does not stop kills from hand but helps, atleast
Does it have to be favorite moment from Hearthstone? Oh well, I hope you don't mind but my favorite moment was when I stopped playing this addictive game in Castle Nathria back then. Let me be honest, that was the single most joyful experience that I felt because I no longer have to grind and grind thru hours of gameplay just to get XP enough for gold and for the next expansion every single day.
Now I can actually enjoy other games, so much that I actually finished MGSV, RDRII, Farcry6, and other fantastic games with the limited time I have.
I want to win too, but I hope this weird favorite moment is not gonna be disqualified just because it's not what everyone like. *fingercrossed*
favourite Hearthstone moment : hitting legendary rank each month
favorite moment has to be the addition of lich king as a class to the game nothing else is close to that
My favorite Hearthstone moment of the year and probably for a lot of other fellow HS players was the introduction of Prince Renathal. It brought a whole new dimension to building (XL) decks and the extra health also meant control decks would make a triumphant return.
Not really a favorite moment, but a highlight was the glitched March of the Lich King Standard packs giving out signature cards
I have no idea what my favorite Hearthstone moment was, but I did have a question. If you were going to get a package for the newest expansion, you probably would've gotten it by now, right?
Yeah there won't be anymore as far as I'm aware.
