Hearthstone

Seems a bit weird. If you've got the money to build tier 1 decks, just go play the, in standard. All you'll "learn" in casual is that your tier 1 deck beats my unoptimised silly deathrattle deck. Which, really, you knew already. If you're trying to work out the deck (mulligans, synergy, etc) then playing in an actual ranked match is much better for you.

I'm just playing around with Recurring Villain and Mok'Nathal Lion - the strongest 9 mana combo anyone will ever see (!).

Hi all,

I've noticed a trend a long time ago concerning the meta at a given time during the day. This list is by far not extensive (and not backed by data) but I'm looking for input/feedback to fill out the data and related counters to the 'daily-meta'.

Mornings: Mostly control decks

Afternoon (after 15:00): Agro/Tempo

Late afternoon (after 17:00): Control

Evening: Midrange / OTK deck

So for example, yesterday afternoon I was playing Zoo lock and won 12/15 games. I mainly encountered demon hunter/dragon hunter. This morning I played the same deck and encountered mostly Handlocks and GalaRogue. I've been noticing these fluctuations persistently over at least a year. Have you noticed anything similar?
What decks would be the best during specific times of the day to counter the meta at those times?

Mine is Mindflayer Kaahrj "It is pronounced 'Kaahrj'". It makes me laugh every time. Some other really good ones are Stitched Tracker "He is just exercising his right to bear arms", and Aldor Truthseeker "Its under 'T'".

How about you?

Competition Theme: Top Secret

What's the design brief this week? It's a Secret!

• You must create a Secret - it's that simple!
• Your Secret must be for one of the existing Secret classes
  • More specifically, that's Hunter, Mage, Paladin or Rogue

This week, shaveyou wants to keep things Secret. Why? None of your business!

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Discussion Thread Rules

No thread rules were added to this season. Please populate and manually edit this thread with them.

Here's what happened. I'm playing Tempo Demon Hunter (yes, yes, I'm a real bastard, I know, just wanted to grab up some easy ranks before the second nerfs hit). Drop my Imprisoned Antaen on curve (cuz I like winning). He wakes up and sprays his 10 damage all over the place, then my opponent plays Maiev Shadowsong and puts him back to sleep. Two turns later, he wakes back up and guess what? Ten more damage to my enemy's board and face.

Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who hasn't seen this interaction.

On a related note, I've also seen buffed minions put to sleep by Maiev, and wake up with their buffs intact. Also good to know.

tomorrow there will be the free pack givaaway. May I have the link / name of a suitable stream? Tks

Anyone else having fun with Ramp Druid? One of my favorite decks atm :)

Deck ID Not Found

Hey everyone. Today I opened my 55 packs on the Asia server, and I only got 2 Legendaries, including the one you get for free. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I should've gotten a minimum of 3 right (free one, first 10 packs, 40 pack pity timer). Anyone else having this problem?

Also, I'm also getting duplicate Rares even though I don't have a full Rare collection yet (I DE'd the DH ones for full dust, but I don't get them in new packs even though I have all other rares).

I know it's a polarizing deck, but nothing else was working for me past Diamond 10 than Priest. Dragon Hunter, followed up with pre-nerf DH, got me up to Diamond pretty quickly, but I couldn't sustain any momentum after that. 

Rez Priest, swapping cards in and out occasionally, work like a charm. 71% from Diamond 9, finishing with an 11 win streak (including dumpster legend, >10k). 

FWIW, I love Soul Mirror. Probably superfluous in a deck with 2XPlague of Death, but there are those rare times you can copy something super useful, e.g. the time I copied a Archmage Vargoth after my own went down to Hex. Shenanigans!

GL;HF out there, everyone!

I want to preface this by saying that I don't expect this to happen, but I just think it would be cool.

My idea is that the Paladin Hero Power could be buffed to:

This change would buff Paladin and make them able to very reliably fill out their curve. It would also help support the Paladin theme of Handbuffing and would slightly nerf the upgraded Hero Power. What do y'all think about this idea? Do you think it would help the game, or would it make Paladin's Hero Power too good? 

I've started playing with ideas for a custom expansion, or even a custom year, but I thought I'd sound out a couple of the keyword ideas I had for the first one, before designing a set around them, only for them to be hated. So. here they are:

They are designed to be used in different deck designs, with Bully obviously being an aggro-centric ability, rewarding the player for taking the initiative, while Underdog aids the player in regaining control, surviving, or holding the game until they can produce a swing turn.

My concern here is that this mechanic would be polarising - If a control deck runs Underdog cards, they're stronger against Aggro, while weaker against other control decks. Likewise, Aggro decks that rely on Bully might find their plan undone by an aggro mirror, where their opponent doesn't run bully cards.

So....thoughts? Please?

 Hello, Shiv here! Please excuse any grammar mistakes, 8th grade is hard. I have a theory for you guys to ponder: Mecha-Jaraxxus isn't the real one who created the Rusted Legion. He is more like a pawn. But, if he isn't commanding the risen demons and heroes, who is? Someone we already met: Mecha'thun. There is evidence that links this mechanical entity to the Rusted Legion.

First of all, his quest to end fleshings. He states in his entry quote that "The era of flesh has ended."  The Rusted Legion is an army of reborn heroes and demons with mechanical upgrades.It seems plausible for Mecha'thun to meet up with Mecha-Jaraxxus and convince him that they both have a common goal: destruction of flesh and blood. Or he could be still locked up in Boom Labs and whisper in his ear to do that instead. 

Another thing shown in Ashes of Outland is the possible existence of a cult. Namely, the Rustsworn. Rustsworn Cultist, Rustsworn Inquisitor and Rustsworn Initiate are part of this supposed group. What do Old Gods love more than tentacles and giant eyeballs? A good old-fashioned cult. 

If that does not convince you, take a look at Rustsworn Cultist's shoulder pad.

Doesn't that look familiar to you? An eye. Huh, I wonder where we saw eyes on armor before... 

In view of all the drama about wild I'd like to know what you guys consider as broken decks in wild for each class.

I'll take obvious, current ones like Warlocks' Cubelock and Mechathunlock or Priests Raza and Res. As well as past forgotten stuff like goblin bomb hunter and odd rogue.

Just please try to add a description if the deck is from the past or the name is not enough.  If you nickname  Dinomancer Warlock "Dinolock" it's  fine but specify the wincon for us uninitiateds.

So i had 11 stars, hit legend, game put me in legend 9k. I said "ok now i can meme around" big mistake. Suddenly i was like 12k, but  this time every time i won a game, it wouldnt give me any points, so i kept losing OR winning, but NEVER gaining points, now im a constant legend player stuck in rank 17k playing versus silver ranks that dont even have a full deck, just kinda new players.

HS is dead for the memes, im missing the old rank 5 or legend dumpster

now i dunno if i can fix this problem, dont make the same mistake.

who can it be? does anyone have a clue?

appearantly its no rogue. maybe the mage "celeste"?

hi guys, 

when will the new secrets be included in the secret-preview of the deck tracker?

i stumbled over this more often than i like to admit.

13,260 Dust 1,386 2 Copy Deck Code

Thoughts and feedback are greatly appreciated :)

So I was just checking by Hearthpwn, because it's funny to read the cesspool of comments you find there, and I stumbled upon this interesting piece of info

So....basically we'll get a new Rogue hero eventually (obviously we do, but it's good to have confirmation) but the hint eludes me.

Are they referring to the fact that they'll use an existing Legendary and turn it into a Rogue skin? (given that we're now getting previous Heros as minions it wouldn't be too far fetched).

Odds are we're getting a male character, seeing how we already have two females, although I honestly would love to see Vanessa vanCleef as a skin.

If they do pick an existing legendary, which one would it even be? I genuinely can't think of a single Rogue legendary that's memorable enough to actually serve as a skin (outside of Edwin, but I doubt they'd ever pick him). Xaril would be hilarious, but I don't think they even remember he exists.

Any ideas?

Im new. Im a silver 5 player. I wanted to rank up at least to gold rank. Im using warlock zoo but it seems its not that good right now. Im playing standard. Is it me or is warlock decks are kinda weak at this current meta. Sorry this is probably nothing new to you guys. Hehe

...for I have sinned. I have given into the temptation and dealt with Demon (Hunters). I could not resist the siren song of Legend and the promise of a free Classic Legendary, so I did the unspeakable and steamrolled from Diamond 5 to Legend with only 20 wins.

Appropriately I was rewarded with King Mukla like the disgusting Ape I am. BUt alas, I am free from the pressure of ever having to reach Legend again and can now focus on what is truly important in life....pretending like I actually know how to build decks and then claim I found a new way to game the meta.

So anyways, how's your climb going? I got really lucky I guess, because I only ran into a single Galakrond Warlock and only two Priests (one of which I even beat....barely). Tempo DH is pretty disgusting and I honestly can't see the staying this way forever. At some point Battlefiend will have to be nerfed, it's ridiculous how hard that thing takes games from turn 1. It's like Pirate Warrior all over again.
