Hearthstone

I predict that the Hearthstone Team will support Thief Priest as a new archetype in the next expansion. For one, they have already printed multiple Legendaries for this archetype, including Talanji and Madame Lazul. Plus, one of the Boomsday cards that they decided to buff was Cloning Device, which could only ever see play if Thief Priest got more synergy cards like Talanji. This next piece of evidence is a little shaky, but in the solo adventures one of the buckets is "What's Mind is Mine", which indicates that Blizzard already thinks of Thief priest as its own archetype. However, Thief priest cards have printed before (such as Archbishop Benedictus) without them following up with synergy cards, so this could just be empty speculation. What do y'all think? Will Thief Priest finally become a deck next expansion?

Hi everyone,

Although already a bit experienced in the game and with hunter, I never got why everyone puts this into decks. Discard 2 cards, really? If someone can explain me I would be very grateful.

Hey guys,

Does anyone else feel like Blizzard really missed a chance by having the same final 4 bosses every time on the final wing? When I first heard that the wing's gimmick would be 4 additional encounters, I figured it would work just like the other wings, just giving you more crazy bosses and time to build a crazy deck. However, it seems like the final 4 bosses are the same every time. One of the best things about this adventure is the great variety between all the bosses, and I feel like having the final bosses be the same every time reduces the replayability. Also, the fact that they are all Mages makes it even worse. What are your thoughts?

Was climbing ladder and had a miss play, noticed that the echo copy does not get a discount. I think that’s whack, but was still able to win the match. 

Hello everyone, I am designing my first custom class, and I have no idea where to get art from. up to this point I have just been making miscellaneous cards for card competitions on Hearthpwn (none of which made it to the finals) and it has been fine just googling for the image I need. But when making 20+ cards, well, I need a more reliable source of unique arts. Can anyone who makes a lot of custom cards help me find a place where I can get a lot of good card arts? Thanks in advance.

So, I'm a fan of the fun and crazy variety of characters in Warcraft lore, and messing around with them in card form is one of the main reasons I play this game. Everything from human knights to lovecraftian old gods to robots is fair game for these characters. That being said, a lot of well-known characters have yet to make an appearance in Hearthstone. What lore characters do you think are overdue for an appearance in hearthstone, and would you rather see them as a Legendary or a hero?

Just looking for opinions or synergies I might've missed...

This one so far has had an above 50% winrate, which for it's cost and considering it's jank, is pretty good. Deck relies on SMOrc-ing so maybe taunt silencing could work.. also the obvious Deathstalker Rexxar backup plan. Thoughts?

I have been wondering about the hero power selection in the heist adventure and it seems like the hero powers in the adventure might be alternative hero powers in common play in the future..

Of course not in the same balance since they are a bit overturned for the adventure but a toned down version (or even buffed) might be something that might appeal to team 5 to implement into HS in the future..

Think about it many cards/archtypes team 5 tried to push failed due to lack of consistency, for example "freeze" tempo mage(the one with tempo freeze cards) or overload shaman, or rush/enrage tempo warrior decks..

I think such decks have been held back by the lack of support in the hero powers, there seem to be some hero powers that might support those archtypes while still being basic enough for the game.

I will give my idea about implementing the heist hero powers into standard play will try to keep it as brief as possible as this post is already too long anyway.

Do note that I am  balancing them around "the effects cost either 0 mana or 1 mana and a drawback"

By upgraded I mean the baku hero power.

Mage: 2 mana freeze an enemy. upgraded: and deal 1 damage to it

Shaman: 2 mana draw a card overload (1), 1 mana might be too OP, at 2 mana it enables overload synergy easier, while having a clear draw back. upgraded: draw 2 cards.

Hunter: opportunist from heist is perfect as is +2 attack is balanced by the fact you need to have rush or already present minions to activate it. upgraded: +3 attack

Priest: 2 mana lower the attack of a minion by 2 until your next turn. upgraded: by 3

Rogue: 2 mana burgle a card from another class (not sure might be too OP, no idea how to nerf it but it's a "0 mana" effect) upgraded: burgle 2 cards.

Warrior:2 mana deal 1 damage to a friendly minion give it +2 attack upgraded: +3.

Druid: 2 mana give a friendly minion +1/+1. upgraded: +2/+1

Paladin: 2 mana give a friendly minion divine shield. upgraded: I am actually not sure.. maybe the other one supporting hand buff is more healty.

Warlock: 2 mana, take 2 damage deal 2 damage. upgraded: 3 damage taken/dealt

Now are you thinking how would they reward them to players.. well there IS a pointless system currently that tracks your hero level that level is totally pointless from level 10, it could after level 30 for example unlock the alternate hero powers which you will choose on deck building, also the hero power will need to show up on the hero portrait for clarity so you can mulligan for it better.

What do you think will blizzard/team 5 introduce such a change in the future, and used heist as a testing ground for this feature?

Hi guys,

I'm having lots of fun with my version of Zoo Priest. The Prest draw with Northshire Cleric and Bwonsamdi, the Dead is awesome with Magic Carpet and the other 1-Drops. Still trying to get to the ideal lineup, mainly with the 1-Drops and the buff opportunities. Any suggestions?

Greetings

My Zoo is cuter than yours

If you want explanations about them ask here, I only did a guide for the Paladin one.

What class/deck do you play to beat Mech Paladin?

I mainly play for fun and enjoy creating my own decks that fit my style. Before the update I was playing a Dragon Shudderwock deck with moderate success. It pushed me from rank 15 to rank 8. I am not too concerned with climbing ladder, but I do want to at least be competitive with my decks. Since the update I have been facing so many aggro decks that I am beaten by turn 7 since my deck plays slow. I made some tweaks to make the deck stronger at the beginning and middle and it seems to be doing ok. Just wanted to see what thoughts you all have on how I could tweak the deck.

Here is the old deck:

Deck ID Not Found

Here is the new deck:

Deck ID Not Found

Second rotation in the Year of the Dragon happened on June 3rd and brought 4 new sets of cards to Arena!

How is the new rotation treating you? What classes you think are the top dogs right now? Did some jumped to the top or get knocked down? Or is it the same old same old? What cards do you like the most from current pool? And which drive you crazy? Tell us!

Current card pool for Arena:

• Basic
• Classic
• Goblins vs Gnomes
• The Grand Tournament
• One Night in Karazhan
• The Boomsday Project
• Rise of Shadows

Classes by win rate (source HSreplay, at the time of writing):

• Paladin (53,3%)
• Mage (52,4%)
• Rogue (51,7%)
• Druid (51,2%)
• Warlock (48,6%)
• Hunter (48,5%)
• Shaman (47,1%)
• Priest (45,4%)
• Warrior (39,2%)

Top 10 class cards that are being picked the most (+neutrals):

What can we see from the data collected so far, there is little to no AOEs, which shouldnt come as a surprise, since the current sets didnt introduce many, at least not in the common/rare slot.

Mage and priest, and to some extent rogue, have advantage from having good aoes in their basic/classic sets with high offering rates. Other classes are not so lucky. Early tempo is still the name of the game. Many classes that could play defensively and value decks in the last rotation, like Warlock for example, lost most of their control tools, so they are forced into aggro/tempo archetypes, which is further supported by the type of cards in the current pool.

Keep in mind that this is obviously a very early report, but should give you some idea about how Arena looks at the moment.

I just tried logging into B.net to access HearthStone and I got this generic message ''Its a busy day for Blizzard services ... blahblahblah .. estimated wait time 170 minutes'' ... 
Is there a special event or something going on or is Battle.net Client/Server simply down?



Edit : By the time I was done with the post - no time at all - my estimate went up to 208min

Hi folks,

So what are your thoughts after the buffs and introduction of Snip-Snap? I haven't seen too many new decks focused around buff cards, but Snip-Snap is quite prevalent. It is way too op in my opinion - not sure what Blizz were thinking. It stacks with pretty much any type of deck and archetype and it's now everywhere. Including Wild. I am using it in Token/Mech druid and it's kind of brainless :)  

You are welcome to share your opinions or just troll me. Cheers! 

I'm not the first person to suggest this, but I think it's likely and would be a good move. For newer players and players with smaller collections, Whizbang is an easy way to play decks that are at least decent (no, I haven't thoroughly vetted all the recipes, but I imagine some are okay?), and can help with figuring out deck types and play-styles you like before making crafting choices. Also, with the recent addition of SN1P-SN4P to Boomsday, they will have pre-emptively replaced the missing neutral legendary from that set.

One thing I've always wanted to see Blizzard do is to give us a solo content adventure that, upon completion, allows you to turn the card of your choice into a golden version of itself. The reason I want this is that I've always wanted a golden Tiron Fordring. Sure, I could spend 3400 dust on one, but that's a LOT of dust for a card I already have. A nice thing for Blizzard to do would be to allow us the ability to turn any card - just one - golden. And, sure, some people would do it just to dust it, but that's fine, too.

What do you all think? And what card would you make golden?

Hey all,

I'm aware of the bug that displays the first boss encounter hero wrongly but it's ok I guess, can live with that.

Thing is, I just finished a Chapter IV heroic run with priest and the win wasn't recorded. No Crown over hero portrait, no checkmark on the deck used, nothing.

Pretty disappointing. Not that it "matters" practically but spent a few hours trying and well, I'm on my way to complete everything using all heroes and decks and ya know.. Like I said, left a bitter taste.

Anyone else noticed something similar? Didn't see it coming up in any thread, not that I've searched beforehand tbh. Guessed they'll have it all sorted out so many days after release.

Is this card good or bad to include? I see many pro players postings lists including it, but I am surprised. When it dies, the 1/1s are horrible for Kangor's Endless Army. But is its value otherwise good enough to justify its inclusion?

Hey all, I just wanted to ask how many golden legendaries have you got from packs in the whole time you've played the game. I personally started playing in 2016 when Old Gods came out and since, I've opened only ONE golden legendary - Lilian Voss. My friend, who's played for the same amount of time as me and we open roughly the same amount of packs, has already opened between five to ten golden legendaries (I can't remember exactly how many). What are your numbers? Is he really lucky or am I really unlucky? Where's the truth? Post below!
