Hearthstone

mike donais said that they would love to do at least one heist hero as a playable character. 

which dalaran heist hero would you want as a skin 

my choice would be captain eudora or tekahn

edit: i mean the playable characters not the bosses

Regardless of how you feel about the playstyle it is hard to argue that the class has not been tethered to this strategy for a long time now. Classes are supposed to have some variety but it seems that right now priest is tethered to the 'Big'/Rez poster child image.

Perhaps if the class had a new midrange archtype pushed its way it might shake the class up.

What do you think?

What if Blizzard were to buff the classic set cards the same way they buffed boomsday? I think such thing would be great and freshen up the game for a while longer than buffing an expansion that rotates in a year..

anyway I will suggest the buffs, they are either -1 mana +1 attack or +1 hp, if the card is so bad then -2 mana(like boomsday buffs)

I will choose cards that see no play at all and have space to open up a new archtype.

Druid (technically could buff almost ANY card, but I decided feral druid needs some love)

Savagery 1->0 mana  this card is really bad as is.. at least it should cost less.. also goes well with the next bufff.

Bite  4-> 3 mana this card never saw play (after it got nerfed in beta) druid has worse ramp right now it can be buffed.

Hunter - hunters got a strong classic set so..

King Krush 9-> 8 mana this card was ONLY good cause of [Hearthstone Card (katrena winterwisp) Not Found] otherwise it's terrible, with this buff it's a decent finisher if you can get there.. another suggestion could be +1 attack or even more minor +1 hp. it IS a legendary after all and the worst classic class legendary in that...

Gladiator's Longbow 2->3 durability, this card costs 7 mana! you are overpaying 2 mana over arcanite reaper for being immune which is a 0.5 mana effect looking at Candleshot this weapon has too little durability for how much it costs..

Paladin - not too much to buff here either, some card buffs might be too toxic for the game if buffed.

Lay on Hands - 8->7 mana at least lets you do something else the turn you play it..

Argent Protector 2/2->2/3 can't buff anything else there.. holy wrath is pointless and blessed champion would be too oppressive as a combo piece this card has a 0.5 mana cost effect attached to it.. could be a 2/3 really, great in arena.

Priest - his classic set SUCKS but can't be easily buffed in long term, but I did find 2 cards worthy low risk buffs.

Shadowform 3-> 2 mana hero power change cards cost 2 in other sets this card is fun to use but costs too much also you lose the healing for using it so.. yeah 2 mana.. still probably not playable but it's a fun card.

Holy Fire 6->5 mana could help priest since this card is played sometimes mostly cause of lack of other alternatives.. value wise 5 damage= 3.5 mana, 5 healing =1 mana bundling cost =0.5 good enough.

Rogue - just got nerfed but I got some unrelated archtype buffs.

Kidnapper - 5/3-> 5/4  this card is badly stated for it's cost

Patient Assassin - 1/1-> 1/2 it's a small buff but this guy is never played at all I am not sure though since arena exists.. and rogue is strong there..

Shaman the overload mechanic was underestimated as a drawback back in classic

Lightning Storm 3->2 mana, this card is not even played in shaman control decks, and is mostly a feelsbad when it is.. would rather lower the overload by 1, but I already stated that I would not change the card text.

Forked Lightning 1->0 mana this card is too weak atm

Warlock

Felguard 3->2 mana, if you are destroying one of you mana crystals.. it's better be worth it.. 1 mana "Cheat" for -1 mana the whole game? hell no..

Siphon Soul 6->5 mana overcosted removal, when it was played it was one of the worst cards in warlock..

Warrior

Mortal Strike 4->3 mana it's a fireball if you are meeting the requirement otherwise it's just an ok card

Cruel Taskmaster 2/2-> 3/2 more aggressively stated minion.

Mage

Icicle 2->1 mana worst card in mage, should not cost 2..

[Hearthstone Card (Etheral arcanist) Not Found] 3/3-> 3/4  never played card, easi'ish to counter.

Neutral

Illidan Stormrage 7/5-> 7/6 should be buffed.. I think his text should be more impactful but I can't change it by my own rules.

Arcane Golem 3-> 2 mana if you are giving your opponent a huge upside at least make it worth... was nerfed too hard..

I could puke. Honestly. After another game in arena where a extremely bad player once again got Kalecgos from Messenger Raven I was confused, bought HSreplay Premium and will uninstall this Activion $$$$ game.

Kalecgos is played after Messenger Raven in over 70% of players that score in average below 3 wins. Above the numbers go down until it is below 3%.

Do you honestly still think they don't use the same shit EA uses in Fifa, the worse you are the more luck and rigged matches? Believe in this and live in your world.
It is damn obvious.

Stands and their abilities from JoJo's Bizzare Adventure in Hearthstone! What do you think?

I've been thinking of crafting the thing to play around with, put it in a couple of differed cheap mech decks... I've seen OTK quest mage with it in some video, anyone have experience playing this guy?

Introducing... the newest member of the League of Explorers... Izzy Jameson !

Izzy Jameson is the greatest explorer of Azeroth! Well, she will be, anyway. First, Izzy has to go on an adventure, to prove her worth. She first finds her calling, travels from the great Un'Goro jungle to the chilly Northrend wastes, from the deep Kobold-infested catacombs to the eerie Witchwood, just south of Gilneas. Finally, Izzy explores the Netherstorm with her greatest idol: Reno Jackson, and busts up a moneymaking scheme lead by the decieving Nokano.

Keyword Showcase: Decay

Decay is the class keyword of Archaeologist, representing the antiquity of their antiques. Decay is shown mostly on weapons as a way to make effects that last over time, but in KoFT, it's shown on Decaying Armor, a new type of Armor that is lost one by one each turn. Also, Decay also deals damage so Scavenger Crab's effect would trigger because of Decay. Some examples are shown below:

Decay cards would look dusty as shown above, and like Aluneth, the lightning icon would glow and the weapon, minion, or Armor would lose 1 Durability.

Alternate Heroes

Archaeologist Playstyles

Izzy Jameson knows many ways to outwit her opponent. She uses powerful, ancient artifacts to slowly beat you down, could recruit ancient temple golems to beat you down, or can utilize the scraps of Armor she finds along the way. Some of Archaeologist 's main playstyles are these:

• Passive Weapon Beatdown: These high power weapons can be cycled through so Izzy always has an artifact up her sleeve. These weapons grant long-lasting benefits.
• Killer Control: Every Indiana Jones movie features a main nemesis, but none are as iconic as the boulder. Izzy Jameson has a few tricks up her sleeve, many of them controlling the enemy.
• Discover the Way: It would be wrong to have the League's standout keyword not also be a main keyword of Archaeologist. From the Quest to Nokano, Archaeologist prominently features Discover as one of the ways to play.
• Armornipulate: An archaeologist would be nothing without ransacking ancient temples for everything inside! This includes everything, like random shields along the way, or an entire mine. Additionally, Archaeologist also can take advantage from "selling" off her Armor, gaining benefits from minions that need it.
• Dig, dig, dig: In The Boomsday Project, Archaeologist popularizes a unique type of synergy. Although, yes, Rogue does also have shuffle, Archaeologist gains more even value, preferring Midrange rather than combo.

Final Note

I'd like to thank maxlot, teknician, Skarlon, Bazil, link, Shatterstar, Cheese, Grand Inquisitor, krowski, and anybody else I missed who helped with Archaeologist on Hearthpwn or Discord. Thank you for taking the time to look at my class.

I took Dane's concept of Armor Shaman and got something's a bit riskier, but shorter in the outcome. It's always such a good satisfaction to see those Big Shill Priest beaten:

BigP got rekt

Hiya. 

 So I was idly flicking through the Internet and thought to myself "I wonder what's the longest anyone has played Hearthstone for in one sitting?" 

 Google to the rescue. Turns out it's 38 hours and 22 minutes non stop, streamed via Twitch by a Greek dude.

 That seems like it's beatable. 

 Anyone wanna try? It'll be for Charity obviously... 😉

 I mean, how hard can it be? Right? 

I guess we all agree that Dalaran Heist is quite fun to play, and what really adds to its awesomeness are some of its voicelines. I couldn't help sharing some of my favourites with you, they just always make me smile a bit.

• One of the voicelines Togwaggle can say before meeting with Bartender Bob: "Such niceness, keeping inn open during hostile occupation."
• What Dr. Boom says if you face P.O.G.O. in Underbelly: (something along the lines) "This Pogo-Hopper has gone into rampage. Stop it! But do take pictures, I love a good rampage."

Have you got a favourite voiceline or two yourself? Please share, I'm interested to hear those. It doesn't have to be one of these between-encounters voicelines, it can also be bosses reacting to certain cards etc.

So yea I have done a few runs now where this has been the best treasure choice, sometimes twice.

From reading the card you would expect the enemy hero to take 2 damage per turn per copy, except this never happens.

No matter how many copies they have in hand they still only take 2 damage per turn. Is this correct? can someone explain this interaction to me and why it works this way and not the way the logic dictates on reading the cards

I have screen shots but not sure how to upload them on here :/ 

Introduction

Zakat's got big plans. He's a trade-prince, but he's always been one of the weaker ones. But things are going to change. Zakat's been amassing wealth to do what everyone once thought was impossible—he's going to break into the famed Azerite Vault. Can you help the mysterious Nexus-Prince pull off the greatest heist in history?

Mechanics

The core mechanic of this expansion is the Side-Quest. It functions very similarly to the regular Quest mechanic, except it's attached to minions, and both the quests and the rewards are much smaller in the scale. Side-Quests can only be completed once, and they can't be completed once the minion dies. Help these people do their jobs, and they'll return the favor in the form a nice advantage!

A few kind-hearted (and not so kind-hearted) souls have some loose change that they may willing to lend you. At least, for a little while. But be careful, Coins are only available while supplies last!

F.A.Q. (No one asked, but shush)

Q: What year is this a part of?
A: This exists in its own "Year of the Viper", together with Azeroth's Most Wanted. This "year" happens alongside the current Year of the Dragon.

Q: What sets influenced the balance of Azeroth's Most Wanted
A: This was the first set of the year, and this was made before the rotation of the cards related to Odd and Even cards. Any future changes will only be remade to changes that come up due to the sets that came out after this.

Q: What are the full plans for the set?
A: Voice acting for the cards, more lore, perhaps a logo for the expansion (and the previous one), stuff like that. If you wanna help, feel free to shoot me a DM if you wanna help!

Our Other Expansions

(Year of the Viper, Set 2) The Crystalarium (WIP)

I like scheme spells, but it seems that Lazul's Scheme is very weak compared to the others. All the other Schemes can really change the match. Hagatha's Scheme can destroy all the minions on the board and can even be paired with Omega Mind to fully heal your hero. Dr. Boom's Scheme can provide an insane amount of armor for your hero. Rafaam's Scheme can fill your board with imps and can be combined with other cards to buff the minions for a full strong board. Togwaggle's Scheme can put a ton of copies of a strong minion into your deck. Lazul's Scheme just reduces the attack of a single minion for 1 turn.

For me it just seems that Lazul's Scheme is very weak compared to the others. It provides no lasting impact on the board or match like the other can provide. The only good combo for the card is using Lazul's Scheme and then Cabal Shadow Priest to take control of one of your opponent's big minions. For me I feel that it should have reduced the attack of all enemy minions for a turn or make the reduction permanent.

Thematically it pains me deepest  when I see Druids and hunters with mechs all over the place.

Where are my beast and nature loving classes? 

I probably a bit salty right now, but is the matchmaking bugged?

Finnally crafted down odd paladin, and 2 out of 3 match againts a warlock, who plays Despicable Dreadlord. I have seen that since it was in STANDARD. Obvioualy i didn't draw any weapon to kill and lost the game. Then i say "if so many non-big priesf control deck are here, finally let's play jade druid". Immedietly a murloc, who kills me over 6 turn.

Wtf this matchmaking? I'm the only onw who feels this way?

So, I finally crafted Genn a couple days ago, and already I've fallen for Even Shaman. So I decided to start a thread for anything and everything Even Shaman - lists, strategies, matchups or just stories. Any insight welcome. I'm currently at 10-4 with the deck at ranks 5-4, however I rotate between two lists: one with walking fountains, corpsetakers and some extra hex action; the other with thunderheads, likkims and some extra overload cards like zap and that 4 mana BRM 'gain X attack' boy. Would love to hear from folks who run/ran either or both.

So, yeah, Even Shaman archetype. Hope this is enough to start a discussion!

Ok. So you start your game of HS. Both are at 1 mana, nothing too crazy can happen. Then, all of a sudden, a couple of turns later, some really crazy stuff happens and you (or your opponent :)) is dead or completely done for on board. 

So I think we all agree this should not be possible at turn 1 (no fun there). But what would the minimal turn be to have a crazy comeback/miracle/combo/insane-rng turn?

Turn 2? Turn 3? 4? 5?

I am not talking about aggro decks who try to kill you by turn 5 if you do not react by using cheap resources.

But we have some typical examples, like Khadgar's mountain giant army on turn 5 or a very big van Cleef very early, or a board full of pimped murlocs with bloodlust. Stuff like that.

I've played around 70+ arena runs so far, and I didn't use heartharena because I was learning out the game-mode. However, in each game, there's some sort of a skill-cap on what you can learn by yourself, and what you can learn by using guides etc...

So should I use HearthArena or not? It does feel a little counter-intuitive as it would make me a worse player, too dependant on the thing.

Whirliglider is quite similar to Bomb Toss. Replacing a 2-damage with a 2/1 minion.

While classic cards are known to be weaker than class cards, I think (and you'll agree) that this card is underpowered.

If it is to be given mech, then it would suddenly become more plausible, you'll get 2 mechs to magnetize later.

This isn't a troll thread btw xD. I need you to take this seriously, and tell me valid logical counterarguments.

So, is this enough?

Just got my 500th win with Warrior, completing my set of Golden Heroes! Yes, I made a post just to brag, but I'm really proud of it. Ok, enough about me. Who else wants to brag?
