Hearthstone

I thought they removed this card? Is Blizzard aware of this issue and removing this card from Arena next patch? The notes do not say anything about it...

Gakakronds awakening in a few hours, still not all cards revealed? 

I personally find this to be very sad news for myself and the Priest class in general.  No one championed Priest more than him.  And he was one of the very few streamers that I always watched, supported, and contributed financially.  This is a clear reflection of how bad a shape Priest is in Standard; and Priest only fares a little better in Wild.  

Priest is my favorite class but it is very clearly Blizzard's least favorite.  And while no one cares whether I play Hearthstone, losing the support of high profile players and streamers ultimately affects the entire game's popularity and success.

Here it is guys, i'm proud of what I've just discovered. Hope you have fun playing it :))

Trying to follow the Pre-Order pages. I don't see anything mentioning a hearthstone card back or hero for pre order or ownership. I'm hoping this was done on purpose after feedback from users not wanting to buy other games to get in game hearthstone additions.

I'm a Card Back collector myself, so I'm keeping an eye on it, but has if anyone has heard/seen anything related to Shadowlands and Hearthstone, let me know.

Hi all, and particularly those few who have kept up with the Banana Saga decks and write-ups as they have come out.

The finale is finally here (and I get to stop trying to find new ways to use [Hearthstone Card (Segeant Sally) Not Found] and Bananas. Hooray!) and boy does it make use of a lot of cards that even I had never put in a deck before. Feast you eyes on this monstrosity:

As usual the story in the deck description is the primary reason for the deck to exist, so don't expect great results out of it. At least it is stronger than the last one by virtue of having the highlander cards in it, plus the embarrassment you get your opponent to feel when you win is worth it.

Really though, I tried so hard to find any reason to play The Boogeymonster, and the best I could come up with was the tiny chance of giving it to your opponent with Mischief Maker. At least I can make it the star of a story I guess.

Any idea when the new cards will be revealed?

As we are preparing for the grand finale of the Hearthstone Year of the Dragon, let's take a moment to appreciate all the entertaining and flavorful trailers we've gotten over the years so far. I'd like people to rank their favorite Hearthstone trailers and list the basic reasoning. Doesn't have to be every single one if you don't want to. For example, I tend to judge the trailers by how catchy/humble I find them. For this reason, Rastakan's Rumble and Saviors of Uldum are at the top, while non-musical trailers like Ungoro or ones with little music like Rise of Shadows are at the bottom. Tell us your thoughts and prefrences for what you like to see in these trailers. 

So I've been trying to get all of the different classes up to 500 wins.  I've never been good at making my own deck so I thought I would try and get some help from you folks.   

Right now I need Druid (Currently 223 Wins), Priest (Currently 183 Wins), Warrior (Currently 151 Wins), and Warlock (Currently 97 Wins).  I went into DOD expecting to play a lot of Warrior which I did at first but it then have tried playing Druid and Priest mostly.  I'm having trouble finding a deck that I find fun to play first of all.  While the goal is to get to 500 wins I don't care too much about ranking up.  In Standard i'm at rank 15 and Wild i'm rank 9 with 3 stars.  

I played the resurrect Priest a little but I don't really like the resurrect mechanic, it feels slimy to me.  So I found a Galkrond Priest and that was fun but I couldn't win enough with it.  I've played Galakrond Warrior and a little Pirate Warrior along with a couple different Treant Druid's and only dabbled with a Zoo Warlock deck.   I know some of these are the top decks for their classes but i'm hoping someone may offer a suggestion for something a little different even in Wild or help creating a decent deck.

I can't seem to find decent stats on HSReplay, so I'll ask here.

Aggro Hunter is a decent budget deck, but I have some questions about some inclusions.

Many versions run Spellzerker, and maybe I'm using this card wrong, but it seems pretty pointless to me. Wouldn't Knife Juggler be a better card? It has synergy with the Leper Gnomes from the sidequest, Unleash the Hounds and Snake Trap.

Is Wolfrider ever worth it over Animal Companion? Sure overall the later is better, but it's a 1 in 3 to get the one you want (on average). And SMOrc'ing for 3 seems more consistent, albeit sometimes weaker.

Timber Wolf seems a bit weak to run 2 copies off. It's fine with Unleash and to activate Kill Command but pretty weak without that. Could Secretkeeper be a viable option, and running 6 secrets (2x Explosive Trap, 2x Snake Trap, 2x Freezing Trap)? This could even make Sunreaver Spy viable for the 2-mana spot.

Why do some people run Bomb Toss? You can't activate the bombs, unless the opponents uses and Aoe.

I was looking for this forever the other day to show off how simple the win condition for my gonk deck could be without using florist. But i couldn't find one after looking forever, all i could find was a couple reddit posts of people asking this same thing forever ago(like 5 years ago) and getting shit on in the comments by people not even giving an answer because it was supposed to be an obvious solution i guess. glad to see reddit hasn't changed, it's always been shitty.

Still though after further looking i found one that works kinda, but it only has cards from Explorers and it included some cards that didn't even exist, in hearthstone so i stayed away from that after it crashed after me tinkering with it for about 5 minutes.

Is there a simulator where i can set up a board state? Or should i just give up and try to rig one up by taking a screenshot of me fighting the innkeeper?

I had the " Play three games as..." quest and one of them was priest. I hadn't played much Galakrond Priest since goofing around in week one of the expansion, so I thought I would pop over to casual and goof around with it. I am not a good deck builderso most of the time in these situations I pick the key cards I want to play with and let the game complete the deck. I grabbed Galakrond, hit autocomplete, and headed into casual to goof around with randomly generated priest minions from the invoke effect. 

I was slightly confused when my opening hand had the quest in it. I opened it back in the day but have never played it because I don't much care for the style. I don't have a full collection but do have all the commons and rares from each set so I thought maybe there was some odd combination of cards I owned that did something interesting. I drew Galakrond pretty quick but was frustrated by not drawing any invoke cards. I figured it was just my luck to have all the fun aspects of the deck at the bottom. The more cards I drew, the more it looked like some odd version of quest ressurect priest. I don't own [Hearthstone Card (Catarina Muerte) Not Found] but almost everything else from that deck surfaced. Since I thought I was playing to get to Galakrond (it even put two Hench-Clan Thug in the deck), I didn't play well and lost.  I decided to go back and look at the cards in my deck and discovered that there were zero invoke cards in it. That's right, it put in Kronx Dragonhoof and the thugs, but didn't give me anything else to use with it, much less upgrade to get the 5/2 claw so the thugs could get buffed. I just don't know what to think or if I can trust the autocomplete function again.

Edit: I would have to create the deck on the site to post it in the thread. It was pretty bad and I dont want anyone else thinking I really came up with it so I'll just leave it out.

Since Descent of Dragons I’ve played some spells like Breath of the Infinite -requiring you to be holding a Dragon for bonus effect. Every time I go to play a card like this, my brain jumps to it being a Dragon card (part of the Dragon tribe).

Today though, this got me thinking how much this concept could add to the game as well. What I mean by this “concept” is - to add a sort of tribe or school to spell cards (not all spells, but a wide variety certainly). Fire spells, ice spells, holy spells, etc could simply use their school as the “tribe” label.

One might think this would only be advantageous to caster classes? Wrong, you could also add Beast to cards like Animal Companion because it only summons beasts. Kill Command is another Hunter spell that could easily include the beast tribe. Rogue uses a ton of spells that could likely end up as a school or tribe as well (shadow, stealth, agility, whatever name fits)

At the end of this, you might still be wondering why? How does it improve the game? 

1. Increases the flexibility/innovation in card design

2. Allows for more combinations such as “if you already cast a Fire Spell” etc gain bonus effect

3. Increases challenge and deck types pool

Playing mage these days is not a lot of fun. 

Cyclone has been refuted by recent power creep. 

Reno mage is solid value bet gets destroyed by aggro/deathrattle rogues. If you survive until turn 9 to unleash the zero mana dragons you are winning, but otherwise...not so much.

Chenvaala is just one card. 

Secret mage? Tempo mage? OTK/TTK mage? Exodia mage? Nope. Not. 

Quest mage? Not really. Some sidequests are decent. Reno is a good card. 

Secret mage? Looked promising but did not really deliver. At 3 mana they are slightly too expensive for an aggro deck.

So...maybe it is time for a new approach? Mech Mage? Murlocs? I tried dragons/reno and it can work. 

What do you guys think?

Guys can anyone go online in EU ?

I tried it several times, first i was able to login twice but when i try to open collection, Hearthstone stopped running for twice either.

and then, it gave an error about they can't reach my collection and now it says "Your game timed out as it was requesting data from the hearthstone utility service. Please relunch Hearthstone to reconnect." and there is a code on right top corner. " HS:NT304:303:0" but when I try to relogin it gives same error again.

Does anyone have same issues ? If you won't, that means my game is broken so I will try to repair the game/open a ticket.

Edit: I've scanned the game, There was no repair required it said but still can't connect and it says same error on failed screen and now the code on top right corner changed into "HS:CT;NetCacheCardValues=1"

it seemed like my game was broken at first but i guess the problem is about my account.

Edit2: I could login with my phone and can open collection aswell. It ended up the game on my laptop was broken at the beginning but still I don't know why client can't repair the game by itself. I guess i will end up redownloading the game.

Edit3: It is completely weird. I could login with my laptop at last and I have no basic cards. The only basic card I own is Mark of the Wild. I've checked on my phone too, it is the only basic card at there either.

Saw this posted elsewhere so thought it warranted a thread:

I just hope they don't mess up Galakrond Warlock. It's been ages since I've enjoyed playing a Lock deck that isn't zoo, and I want to enjoy it a bit more before they stomp it out. 

This deck is very simple. The best decks seem to play them selves to great efficiency. This deck does the same.

It is actually a massive swarm of big minions after turn 6, and it happens essentially 60% of the time.

I'm preparing myself to play in Standard mode next rotation, hence I focused a bit on getting pieces for future Galakrond decks. Now, pretty much all of them have Kronx Dragonhoof in them in Standard. Should I disenchant some useless Wild cards to get him now or should I wait to gather more dust and maybe get him from the pack?

Priest players, can you inform me how you beat Quest decks?

I'm a reasonable new player, but I managed to get rank 13 last season (second season of play). I face multiple tier 1 decks, and I know how to play against them, but Priest is always a problem (I'm currently 3-25 against the control variants with Quest and resurrect shenannigans). I can't seem to beat them by SMOrcing, but outvalueing the late-game is also not possible. These are the decks I have available (standard versions unless mentioned):

- Quest Paladin

- Galakrond ZooLock (without Sea Giants)

- Combo Priest, the Amet Inner Fire version

- SMOrc Hunter

- Quest Malygos Druid (with some cheap replacements like Novice Engineer > Crystal Merchant)

- Budget Galakrond Tempo Rogue (no Flik Skyshiv)

What is a way to beat Priest?

OK so here's my unpopular opinion question for January. I've been on the good and bad side of milling whilst playing Hearthstone. I understand its weakness and strengths and  that it can feel bad to play against. But what i dont see  is that it's any underhand than any of the shenanigans going on right now. There is some support fot it at the moment mainly in druid and some neutrals but I feel like it's kinda missing from the standard meta game, even though it would get thrashed by aggro

I think that when you are playing against a mill deck and you are not aggro there is this psychological pressure that you must maintain your hand size and play your outs as quickly as possible and that adds another layer to the game that's not there at the moment. 

I don't think the developers would do this and I realise I could just play wild to play this strategy but my post is more about standard. I think a 4 cost coldlight type  neutral card would be fair.

What are your thoughts?
