Hearthstone

I was just playing against an ETC warrior, fully aware that I was going to lose, but hey!

I'm not salty about the loss but I have to admit that the way I lost got me a little upset:

E.T.C., God of Metal reads After a friendly Rush minion attacks, deal 2 damage to the enemy hero.

However I was given the final blow by ETC itself - with a trade that killed ETC.

I'd reason that ETC wasn't alive after the attack, so I do not understand why he procced at all.

Is this a bug or is this interaction working as intended? (I can't recall any other card that procs after it dies)

Hey, just two comments about the ranking system I didn't hear anyone talk about much:

1) One small aspect: The fact that you don't get 10 gold after three wins leave you with coins you will never be able to use. I have 40 coins that once in a while turn to 90. It is an endless circle that will never turn to a- 100 (or 50) Gold that will allow me to purchase anything. 

2) Second bigger issue: With the new system I am actually playing less.  Before, completing a quest you got an instant reward. 50, 60, 80, 100 gold, and so on. You actually felt that if you are going to fill your quest log and not play, you will miss on gold and you will not be able to get as many packs. Now, I am free to play, so this is a big thing for someone who wants to use the next expansion. 
With the new system, I don't have that. I complete a quest, gives me a 1000 XP, and I still have 2000 XP more to go to get the next 100 gold, which I will get some time in the next three days. That removes the urgency of logging in. 

It is great for other things I have to get done, like studies and work projects, and teach my kid some school stuff, but not good for a company that wants to get its login ratings up and not down. 

Anyway, that is my experience, don't want to beat a dead horse, but just wanted to share a personal observation. 

Enjoy the post-nerf wild, I will probably not get in to play before tomorrow. 

I am curious what the rankings are for the 10 classes for wild players and why for which classes you like to play the most and are your favorite.  By rankings I mean ranking the classes from number 1 to 10.  Obviously this can change over time but it is still interesting to see what it is.

So Regiskillbin uploaded a new video featuring this really cool deck, which highrolls off of Tip the Scales and reportedly, it was apparently a “top tier deck” (I can’t tell if this was trolling or not). Has anyone actually fought it before or if it really is all that “good”?

Hi Everyone,

I've been working on some cards trying to create a set, and thought it might be a good idea to get some feedback/insight/ideas from the community on a some of the cards.

While I'm starting off with my own designs, feel free to use this space to post your own cards for community feedback.

Some of these cards are designed with combos in mind - so consider how they interact with the other cards shown.

Thanks everyone who gives feedback and I hope to offer my own to your cards.

I'll probably post more later on if this thread stays active.

Have you had a match where a player drops out early but, instead of falling to 0 HP, they're just permanently locked at their current HP? It's happened to me twice in the past week or so. They keep their player portrait on the sidebar but are Kel Thu'zad during battles. It's not just a visual glitch, they rank above me at the end and knock me down a place. Battlegrounds has always been a broken mess but this is just ridiculous IMO. 

Hello there!

I’ve been wondering if I am the only one feeling a bit intimidated by factors such as The Coin ((Golden) — all golden deck), LVL50 or 1000W Hero Portrait, the Legend-cardback etc.

Let me know if there’s anything that intimidates you during your adventures in Ranked Play.

Best regards,

With the arrival of Darkmoon Races, we might have gotten the final pieces to revive the old Freeze Mage archetype!

Erodos' Imprisoned Phoenix OTK deck was the first list I've come across. The goal of this deck is to stall and draw until you've got your combo pieces together, a task Mage is really good at. The major difference between this deck and older lists is that you can't play around the Imprisoned Phoenixs. A really cool side effect is that you're able to mill unsuspecting opponents. In my own experience, you usually have to go to turn 10 to pull off the combo. It's certainly possible to do it earlier if you gamble to draw missing combo pieces during the 2 turns the Phoenixes need to prepare.

Bonus tip: Don't play Doomsayer the turn before your Imprisoned Phoenixes wake up :D

RavenSunHS uses a more flexible combo, built around Mozaki, Master Duelist. This deck also makes good use of two new cards from Darkmoon Races: Imprisoned Phoenix again and Conjure Mana Biscuit. This list looks to finish earlier, but I haven't tried it yet.

All in all, I have high hopes for a return of the Freeze Mage archetype. Both of them don't look like Tier 1 decks to me, but Tier 2 or 3 seems possible (Secret Mage is a bad matchup and Odd Warrior is insta-concede). Have you tried those decks yet? Do you think they will end up being permanently viable? And if so, is that a good thing?

I've played literally too many games to count since the patch. I've played all f-ing weekend. It must have been 100 games by now. I'm at the point where I'm just tanking my MMR conceding to try to find the new hero. 

I payed real money for "perks." Why can't I play the new content? This is really frustrating.

Duels has been my favorite new HS feature.

However, with the new patch the best new starting treasures are locked unless you have all of the Darkmoon cards!  

I typically buy the expansion set on each release, so am currently supporting the game like many others, and am able to get the legendaries that I want the most for constructed play and duels decks.  However, I don't want to spend extra money to buy all the cards that I will never use just to unlock treasures in duels!  The old unlocks had a low bar so weren't a big deal for me.  

Besides being disappointed at not getting the treasures that were announced, the bigger problem is it makes it harder to play duels competitively, as I would have to compete against players who have those.  

Anyone share my concern?  Maybe we can together convince HS team to lower the bar for unlocking the treasures, or remove it.  Or make it based on some other metric.

Hi all. I noticed a strange thing in Duels yesterday. Playing Demon Hunter, I played Second Slice + Soulshard Lapidary, my hero's attack went to 7. Then, I planned to attack first to check Hunter secret, and summon Bladed Lady for 1 mana after. However, my attack dropped to 5 after attacking, and I couldn't summon her. Why did Slice's attack vanish, bug? Both cards have the same 'gain attack this turn' text.

Coming across a lot of this deck in wild ranked right now, and it seems a little too strong.

The problem card is Deathspeaker, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of nerf soon.

I think that Deathspeaker is not a fixable card if they want the other cards to still exist.

i find that very annoying...

I just wanted to post this because I really liked this deck and just sharing with whoever might be interested.

This deck is missing some great cards though such as Shield Slam and Corsair Cache but I didn't have room to include them

If you have any feedback feel free to share it

I tried reporting a bug for quite some times now, regarding low-res assets for cards [1,2], but it got completely unnoticed, especially no answer from Blizzard.

Since this issue exists for years now, I wondered: Is there any other (good manners) way to report things like these? The official page only directs me to the forums, which seemingly does not get much attention.

Has anyone been able to unlock the second cosmetic coin after adding the Darkmoon Races cards? It doesn't need the tavern pass, and the devs confirmed that Darkmoon Races counts towards the total, so after getting the mini set, my collection for this set went from 125 to 160. But, the cosmetic coin is still locked.

Were there some angry chinese again that I missed? o_O

I´ve noticed that after the new patch today, we got new achievements that grant XP requiring new cards from the mini-set.

Go hunt those sweet new XP! :)

I bought the bundle and opened a pack. I now have 3 Hysteria and 1 Revenant Rascal.
