Hearthstone

Long story short: played against a lot of Quest Shamans and could beat most of them with a variety of pretty average decks, except of course when they just happen to have Mogu Fleshshaper + Mutate on turn 3-4 and just completely highroll you with no counter whatsoever.

I'M not saying Quest Shaman needs to be nerfed in any capacity at this point, but if there's one thing that would drastically axe its winrate it's probably that very combo.

It's just an autowin against any deck that relies on beating them on board and it doesn't help that you don't even have to overcommit to be punished by it. It's essentially MCT but instead of playing around it by having only 3 minions you need to play around it by having no minions whatsoever, because if there are 4 minions on the board by turn 3 you lose the game (unless you are blessed by Hir'eek himself)

This is basically just another symptom of the Conjurer's Calling epidemic because Blizzard refuses to acknowledge that high-cost cards that can reduce their cost to be play on early turns are just broken in combination with cards that take mana cost into account.

If they fixed this interaction by having cards "remember" their played cost when they hit the field, we wouldn't have had to nerf CC and MAge wouldn't be dead right now.

I feel like there needs to be a "refreshing" of the daily quests - not so much the gold (though more would be great obviously) but just the quests themselves are feeling a bit stale and don't really "add" much usually. So am curious if anyone has thoughts on new quests they'd like to see and what quests would you be happy if they removed forever?

My additions would be more around deckbuilding goals. They already have the "play 6 pirates"/"play 6 cards that cost 8 or more"/etc. so I think they should expand on that to keep the flavor going on each expansion and to encourage using the new cards. This already happened once with Witchwood with "I Can't Even/The Odds Are Against Us" for even/odd costed cards, so it's a shame that seems to be the only time they've ever tried that. So for example on Boomsday they could have added 50g -"magnetize 5 Mechs" or 60g - "create a Magnetized mech that's at least a 10/10", SoU they could have 60g - "complete 4 quests" or 80g "defeat your opponent before they complete their quest". That type of thing.

As for what I'd love to see go, the "Win X Games With [Classes]" needs to be buried forever for two main reasons: 1) I don't have data to support this, but my strong belief is that for most people who don't tend to a play a class they get the quest for, they just grab the strongest netdeck they can build and jump in Casual to complete their quest. This sucks when I'm trying to meme it up in Casual and run into say Murloc Paladin. I've actually friended a few people over the years that have done this and most have actually said that's why they were playing a T1 deck in Casual - to complete their quest as fast and easily as possible or becuase they were new to the game and it was the only way they'd be able to do it. 2) Again totally anecdotal but whenever I get this quest I cannot seem to STEAL the win(s) needed to complete it. This is the genesis of my creating this thread today - Win a game with Rogue quest, so I'll just use my Quest Rogue I have a 51.4% win rate with. Oh look at that - I lost 5 games in a row before finally getting a win. This happens so much I cannot stand it because it just feels extra bad to lose when "there's something on the line" so to speak.

So what does everyone else think? Good ideas for new quests? Quests you want burned to the ground?

With Tombs of Terror Launching soon I was wondering wich adventure was your favourite after all this years and how would you rank them (if you want to take the time to rank them)

(NAX, BRM, LOE, Karazam, KFT, K&C, Monster Hunt, Boomlabs, Rumble Run, Dalaran Heist and in case you reply later, tombs of terror)

Personally my favourites are Naxx and KFT. I feel nostalgia can maybe help Naxx right now, but I just felt the litch king fight in KFT as well as the Intro were just amazing.

Edit: As I now have more time in my hands, I rated the adventures on each category (being last doesn't mean being bad, I really enjoyed all of them, some more for the gameplay and some others for their flavour.)

Classic Adventure Format: KFT, Naxx, LOE, ONK, BRM

Rogue Like Runs: TombsOfTerror, RumbleRun, DalaranHeist, MonsterHunt, Dungeon Run.

Puzzle: Boomlabs.

Sadly there's no poll option here yet will you buy the adventure?

if you do did you preorder, plan to buy after release or will you spend gold on it?

personally I spent 2800 gold on dalaran's heist and I am not regretting it at all I already have 700 gold for the adventure's first wing and I am planning to gather all in gold since more or less you do earn 700 gold a week.

If I play the sidekick with an Amet in play. Targeting the Amet with the sidekicks battlecry.

Shouldn't the battlecry of the sidekick trigger first, giving the amet 9 life, and then gain 9 life itself?

Now the battlecry triggers, but the sidekick comes in play with 7 life. 

I wanted to ask for some opinions of which variant of Highlander Hunter is strongest or most efficient in most situations. I have seen many variants but can't quite make upmy mind about it. Would appreciate as many answers as possible :)

Just trying to have fun with the hunter quest and I figured I might as well get help from the neat people here.

-I'm definitely adding another Rat Pack in there- it's just great in this deck.

-Don't like the SN1P-SN4P- Oozeling interaction and the microbots are not beasts anyway..

-speaking of beasts, there might be a way to use the fact that all the tokens are beasts but Idk it yet.

To my big surprise, a new game board is here (I lost in turn 4 against Wild mech-hunter)

I was chatting with MalcolmReynolds about King Phaoris, and thought I might throw some attention on this deck I've been running in wild, around Rank 12. It's very fun, and can win many match-ups. Your early game options are super strong (Blackwing Technician, Garden Gnome, etc.) and they should guide your mulligan. If you have a Netherspite Historian or Firetree Witchdoctor, for example, keep a dragon, even if it's big. Garden Gnome? Maybe hold onto that Overflow.

I cut Nourish as I had hand size issues, and Grand Archivist because he kept punching me in the nuts, the bastard.

Make it to turn 7 without losing the board, and you should be able to go the distance.

Have fun! Let me know how it goes!

Hey guys, I just wanted to share something that made me happy today.

I had opened a bunch of Uldum packs without a legendary, roughly 30-35, and I was getting a little frustrated. Today I opened a pack and hovered over a card to find it glowing orange. my reaction was "its about time, this better be good" I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a GOLDEN King Phaoris! This is a card I wanted to try out, but I was a little scared to craft it, and now I have a super shiny version of it! I usually dust golden legendaries because I am F2P, but I think I will keep this guy. for one, he is super shiny, and also this is a legendary I really wanted to have.

I will try him out in a quest druid and a big spell shaman. wish me luck!

Hi everyone!

Yesterday, Proenix, the spanish mvp, has shown 3 new cardbacks from Saviors of Uldum new adventure (nm and hc) and October season. Here there are (in spanish):

enjoy

Hey all.

I wanted to let you know, that Frostmourne is bugged. People already mentioned it in the official forums, but I wanted to make a thread about it, so that more people would be aware of this interaction and won't lose games because of it. If you want proof, here's a recent game of mine:

https://hsreplay.net/replay/5LzYkpwQ7SuEhTp89a5B28

Turns, where I used the weapon - 16, 20 and 21.

I know it only looks at public information, but the number of cards remaining in my deck is public, right?

Because when I'm facing an opponent with 10 cards left and I have 0 cards left and an empty board, what would be perfect would be Archivist Elysiana. Or even a Baleful Banker. Or Spirit of the Dead. Or Togwaggle's Scheme. Anything to give me staying power would be more useful that Tirion.

Seriously, what am I supposed to do with 5 gold? I don't play arena too often, so when there's a promotion/free ticket event, I get in there. I always get a 25 or 35 gold reward, then that 5 gold just sits there staring at me, laughing because I can't spend it. Am I little over-annoyed by this? Oh yes, of course. No rational person would get so upset. Just finished my second arena run of the week, just hoping to get another 5 gold to balance it out. Nope. You know what? You can TAKE my 5 gold back! I'd rather LOSE 5 gold then continue being stuck with this stupid little hang-on that I can't use.

Anyone else feel at least a little bit like this? Or just tell me I'm nuts. That's fine too.

Hi

This is for all that want to use unplayed cards and off meta decks. And in that case also a challenge to play.

  It happened by searching for a discover deck that i ended with warlock and well... diffrent. Kind of lackey warlock. Its a realy sinister history ....

So if you want to play unused cards, this has a lot of them. And thats the realy nice part.

I am still learning and testing that deck but already over 100 games. The deck works competative on ladder.

It is difficult to play (at least for non warlock players). Unforgiving but rewarding off meta lackey lock.

I described the cards in the deck. Think what you are doing. This deck plans ahead. Droping a merchant at the wrong time and you loose (mabe 10 turns later ) ...

EDIT:

OR:

FYI: Casts When Drawn always draws you another card. It never denies card draw. Just look at how Bomb works.

The idea is to have a neutral, playable but sub-optimal (maybe 4/3 would be better?) anti-Reno tech, that is not a game sealer against Reno, but it can buy precious turns (similar concept to Loatheb). Indeed, the shuffled cards are 1-costed, which means they can be cleared by Skulking Geist.

ALTERNATE, with a drawback for you (maybe this one should be called Nasty Cantrip instead)

Also notice it cannot prevent an early Zephrys the Great, because of its cost, and it's not an optimal body, nor a value generator for you (unlike Beneath the Grounds). Just a time-buyer against an incoming Highlander card, and barely a decent card anywhere else (similarly to Acidic Swamp Ooze, or Kezan Mystic).

• What do you think?
• Is the version with enemy 1/1 taunt more balanced and/or fun to encounter? Especially in Wild?
• Or shuffle just 2x instead of 3x?
• Maybe 4/3 would be more in-line with a tech card? 

Hi mages.

   I made a deck for pirates bringing blood and fire over your opponents. So enjoy the draconic inferno :-).

Deck ID Not Found

Draw and control.  Sometimes i have usless dragonfires in my hand but at that point I have both pyroblasts and my opponent explodes ^^. Feels competative but not enough games till now.

There's a new Uldum-themed board. Is there any official information on this?

Also a couple of bugs that I found with the image of a golden Titanic Lackey half missing, with the upper half being a sky, and Mad Bomber animation slightly bugged.

Did you guys spot anything else after the patch?

So, even though the Rogue's alternative hero power reads "Add a card from another class to your hand", it instead gives you cards from your current opponent's class

1. According to hearthstone I have six of each basic card, anyone else?
