Hearthstone

I've been climbing the wild ladder with Spiteful Hunter due to the wonderful new card Nagrand Slam and have been really enjoying the climb so far. Has anyone else tried out this archetype? Is it better to go for a beast subset or dragons? Thoughts?

So I was buying packs from the latest expansion (AoO) and bought them by bunches of 10. After buying 20 packs with hard-earned f2p gold, I decide to buy some more. Then I realize packs from Ashes of Outland are no longer being offered in the shop and I had just mistakenly bought 10 packs from Descent of Dragons :'(

After logging off and back o, packs from AoO were available again. Is this a hack prevention strategy from blizzard's server? I wonder...

Too bad for my wasted gold. But hey, on the 10th DoD pack, I got a golden Chenvaala. So...karma ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now, this is my personal opinion, but personally I think monks should have been the new class. They're fat, lazy, drunk pandas pretty much the opposite of demon hunter. They could have been more control-oriented requiring chi and stuff, heck they could have still added outcast and called it feng shui or something. We have several important monks from WoW and lots more lore characters for a Pandaria Expac we already have Lei Shen as a hero. Lili could be a legendary and Chen could be the hero.

Monks have several playstyles in wow being drunk and staggering off damage to take it later, flinging mist to heal, and doing cool wind weaving stuff. They also have their statues that could act like shrines or something. THEY CAN LITERALLY SPLIT THEIR BODY APART INTO ELEMENTAL FORMS! 

TL:DR I think monk should have been the class instead of Demon hunter since it would probably be more on the control side and easier to balance/play against, but its early maybe DH will get fixed real soon. 

Any opinions and or hate is welcome and valid 

So here's a fun deck I thought of but since I don't have all the cards, I'd love people to test it.

The idea is to alternate between Primes and Shudders and trade off as many useless 1-drops as possible. 

Edit. Yogg is really optional and just something I'd do for fun.  Should probably be replaced.

It's just isn't the power level of the class is off the charts even the last expansion dragon hunter got 0 chance against midrange demon hunter it's too good dunno what blizzard was thinking when they put all those insane cards in one class...

I played it for a bit it feels unstoppable even when skipping turns for being greedy with outcast, I think we will see it nerfed this week it's really not ok to be that strong I tried some other decks as well they didn't compare to DH in the slightliest..

hit list? the 4/2 for 3 that summons 2/2s , the 10/6 dormant demon that destroys the board and is too insane, the 6/7 rag lady that CAN attack as well..

the [Hearthstone Card (skull of guldan) Not Found], rogue needs to invoke galakround 3 times AND pay 7 mana to get the same effect but DH? just have the card in the left or right of your hand lol.

I mean.. yes you can push the class but those cards are nowhere near fair to other classes.. looking forward to playing the other classes when DH gets nerfed until then.. getting to legend with midrange DH.

seeing people playing token DH or big DH or anything but midrange or highlander is just a mistake play the cards that are busted.

Edit: twin slice is OP AF

17 legendaries from 172 packs! Does anyone know how I can add a video or do I need to upload the capture to youtube or something and give a link?

Sorry if this has been posted before. Today, some hours before the expansion release, I got upgraded version of demon hunter hero power from Sir Finley of the Sands, thought I should share.

It’s called Demon’s bite, you get +2 attack this turn for 1 mana

Having looked at my pack tracker, I find I've opened 78 packs without a legendary.  (And 12 epics which is also below average.)

This is possible because it's across different sets and 3 regions.

But it's still pretty bad luck - but that's Hearthstone.

May your packs tomorrow be lucky :) :)

Hey!

It's ~17 hours for the next expansion to hit us like a brick, so what last-minute, fun decks do you guys have? Post stuff you're playing with, that uses some of the cards you love the most that are being rotated out.

Mine is a full-on Thief Rogue, and it does surprisingly well.

If I go from bronze 10 to bronze 5 in wild do I get any rewards or does it not stack? And if I do get rewards will they be wild or standard?

This is probably a meme deck but:

Al'ar is just a card I wanted to try feel free to replace it.

Do we have any information about Illidans upgraded heropowers form cards like Justicar Trueheart, Genn Greymane or Baku the Mooneater?

The coin is there to counter the disadvantage of going second. However in it's current state it is not an equalizer, but an (unfair) advantage for the player who goes second.

My proposal is to have the coin you get from going second ONLY give you one mana crystal. It shouldn't count as a spell /  card and will not work as a combo enabler.

Coins generated later in the game can work as normal.

What do you think?

We're kind of in a down-time between Reveal Season and a new expansion coming out, so while we wait for Tuesday I thought I'd ask a question: what are your favorite Hearthstone cards by rarity? This came up in a conversation with my father, and turns out going through the list was harder than I expected.

To start things off, here are mine:

• Basic - Frostbolt. 
• Common - Jade Spirit. I've had a lot of fun playing Jade decks; I like their inevitable nature, growing bigger threats.
• Rare - Stonehill Defender. Taunt is my favorite Keyword, and he's a staple of Quest Taunt Warrior (my favorite deck).
• Epic - Scion of Ruin. Dragons are my favorite minion type, and summoning three guys with Rush is great.
• Legendary - Fire Plume's Heart. It's got to be; sorry, Frost Lich Jaina. You know I love you too.

I assume all cards are fair game here, although you're welcome to do Standard-only if you want.

I started playing HS after the nerf to Raza so never had to deal with this deck in a big way before.

I played 7 games on the wild ladder today at Bronze 10 and 6 of those games were this deck and I lost every game. Granted I was playing non-tier 1 decks like Spell Hunter & Quest Burgle Rogue, but still every game played out the same and I got completely destroyed.

For those who played it prenerf what worked? My only thought was bring back Bomb Warrior and just shuffle bombs like mad but aside from that (which is obviously inconsistent based on draws) I’m kind of at a loss. Any help would be appreciated - as much as I love the new ladder system quite frankly this was the single least fun day I’ve ever had with this game so if this is what Wild looks like now then I’ll just dust my Wild cards and jump back to standard.

Hey guys, i've really enjoyed the year of the dragon overall and want to know what you think. 

1. What have been your favorite decks to climb or just play from each expansion meta? 
2. What rotating cards from YotR are you going to miss most?
3. Favorite YotD cards not necessarily for power?

All of the year of the dragon cards will still be around in standard for the next year, but between raven cards rotating/nerfs/power level of future expansions a lot of them won't see the kind of play they have.  So year of the dragon has had it's own unique meta.

My personal experience:

Witchwood/Year of the Raven was where I began hearthstone, so this year felt unique to me because it was the first one where every card being played was one I knew from it's release.  

In Rise of Shadows my favorite deck for the ladder was bomb warrior.  Both booms were nutty, and having a "control" deck that also could play as a sloppy midrange beat em up was really fun.  I'm definitely in the minority but I even miss the warrior mirrors.  Playing bomb vs control and bomb mirror was so ridiculous and its not something you really saw after the end of the RoS meta.  My favorite card from that expansion was Muckmorpher.  I really liked those two minutes where big shaman was a thing.  

In Saviors of Uldum, and for the entire year of the dragon, my favorite deck was quest shaman.  Now bludgeoned to death by nerfs (unjustly so imo), it used to be a super fun deck to play.  Ridiculous value engine, interesting tempo lines, lots of rng effects like discovers and mutates to try to hedge, deck was nutty.  Unfortunately the Wild cards event put an early end on my enjoyment of the deck because evolve made the deck broken and the center of the meta.  About a week into the event I took the longest break i've ever taken from HS until it was over because the game was unplayable to me.  

I also loved quest druid, and my favorite card from Uldum is Oasis Surger.  I love elementals, the art, and the nutty power level.  This deck is still very good nowadays and a go to climbing deck.

Descent of Dragons was a pretty huge spike in power, Pushing and rebuilding a lot of the other decks from the meta while adding Galakrond and another reason to play highlander.  I loved Galakrond Shaman for the brief amount of time it was almost balanced between the two waves of nerfs but it was short lived because now the deck is fairly weak.  I was really bummed how they handled Shaman this expansion, but it's still been quite enjoyable and a pretty decent meta with a lot of variety and not as much polarization.  I've enjoyed highlander hunter, aggro hunter, highlander rogue, and quest druid.  DoD added my favorite card from the expansion to quest druid, Ysera, Unleashed.  Card is nuts.  Mad flavor and closes out games in style.  

Cards i'm going to miss from year of the raven

Shudderwock (favorite card of all time, opened it in my first WW pack),

Hagatha the Witch

Flobbidinous Floop

Electra Stormsurge

Wardruid Loti

I won't type too much more in case the thread flops but I really want to know other peoples experiences and feelings with the expansions.

Hear me out... Demon Hunter has very few spells right now. That means Arcane Dynamo has a large chance of pulling Inner Demon. So, Kael'thas Sunstrider - Twin Slice, Second Slice, Inner Demon, Twin Slice, Second Slice, Inner Demon, Blur, Blur, Inner Demon, Consume Magic, draw into Mana Burn, Inner Demon. Do it with Warglaives of Azzinoth, and not even a Voidlord will stop you. That's 36 or more damage.

I am aware this is a meme. I am aware that Mages become Immune, Druids have 30K armor, and Warlocks have a board full of taunts on turn 5. I am aware you need 11 cards to do this. But, I think making this dream happen is the perfect excuse for me to dip into Wild. I just wanna punch a Priest in the face, with no way for them to stop it.

Any brave souls out there who want to join me?

What is the last date to pre-purchase Ashes of outland bundle ?

Players can register their own one-person event, which still allows the early opening of Ashes of Outland Card Packs the weekend of April 3 – 6, along with a first taste of Demon Hunter gameplay versus AI.

I cant get a match against the AI in the fireside

Hi guys! Are you feeling lucky today?

I set up a Fireside Gathering and just finished my pack opening... and WOW is was a really great one! Probably my best one ever (I play since Beta).

I got both bundles, so there was a total of 145 packs.

Here is the results:

Commons - 100%
Rares - 100%
Epics - 74% (34 of 46)
Legendaries - 54% (15* of 25)

*One is Kael'thas Sunstrider, so it does not count as "opened".

I am truly impressed by this high amount of orange cards! It`s one every 10.4 packs!!!
Here is the list!

Metamorphosis

Archspore Msshi'fn

Ysiel Windsinger

Beastmaster Leoroxx
