Hearthstone

Omnislash has been around for several years creating content for Hearthstone with streamers like Kibler, Firebat, and Zalae, among others, but they've decided to shift gears.

To better focus our efforts, we are transitioning away from content creation and streamer representation, and will be committing all of our efforts to a data platform for players of all types.

For now they are going to be focusing on data tools for gamers/streamers. It's sad to see them go, but I'm interested to see what they create for us.

because this game is designed by idiots

Hey everyone,

I have a feeling Dragon Mage will be a viable deck post-Shaman nerfs. The most likely variant is probably going to Highlander due to Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, Reno the Relicologist and Zephrys the Great being phenomenal cards. However, just to test the waters, I'm going with a good old Conjuror Dragon Mage. Here is my version:

Deck ID Not Found

Feel free to post your Dragon Mage decks, I'm looking forward to some nifty versions. Like a spell-heavy version with Dragoncasters, or strong Highlanders.

We have things like Amalgamation that are all tribes in one, but do you think we will ever see dual- or mult-tribe cards. Like an Elemental-Dragon, or a Pirate-Murloc ? I think it would be cool thematically.

Now this archetype basically is a complete meme for priest, but it works a little better now. Honestly this is pretty much a Test Subject Grave Rune deck just for fun. Just load up the test subject with anything you got rinse and repeat over and over...until it get silenced. I have not found any success with wall style gala decks for priest nothing seems consistent. Combo priest pretty much got better as far as I can tell the Invoke adds some beef to your Mid Game if you get cleared early, but honestly in that situation with Combo priest I usually die. Though lately I can recover with a bit of RnG, and Divine Spirit Inner Fire action. There may be some use to this idea, but I don't know what to cut. Since everything having a death rattle is pretty important you have to go hard for face.

Welp, seeing as how Shaman is still ruling the ladder, I switched back to Battlegrounds to bide my time for the nerfs. I forgot how much I loved this mode, so I opened up a thread to talk about it.

Well, to start things off, I want to ask a question: how would you balance the Battlegrounds?

I was trying to think of something and my solution was: ”what if we removed Toxfin?” Seeing as how Murlocs are really strong right now, and perhaps even OP, I was wondering how to fix the problem and thought of this. It lessens the chances of Amalgam getting poisonous and weakens Murlocs quite a lot. Would this kill off the murloc archetype completely, or would it help balance the game by nerfing Amalgams and Murlocs at the same time? What are your thoughts? This also opens up the possibility of Demons becoming the strongest archetype, but who knows?

Also, Dragons are entering the Battlegrounds soon! I’m very interested to see how that can shake things up.

Hi guys,

With the new DoD expansion out, one of the few epics I opened 2 copies of was Embiggen. Now this is a very unique card, which is similar to good ol' Prince Keleseth. When I first started building a deck around it, I had to decide what way to go. Embiggen really wants you to play as many minions as possible, because that way you can profit as much from its effect as possible. That rules out Quest Druid and Token Druid, since those run a huge amount of spells, reducing the effectivity of Embiggen.

Because the new card Breath of Dreams seemed busted as hell (and it is), I decided to take the deck into a dragon direction. The gameplan is simple: Mulligan for Embiggen and Breath of Dreams, play overstatted minions, go face, win. The sidequest Strength in Numbers is a great addition as well, because it can pull big rush minions out of your deck for large boardswings. I am only playing 1 copy of it so far because I didn't open a second one yet, and I don't like crafting cards this early. For this same reason I have not included Frizz Kindleroost, and it's also why I run Ysera instead of Ysera, Unleashed.

Currently, I have a 77% winrate. However, I am not 100% sure of the decklist yet: The early game is still a very rough area, but too many small minions interfere with the sidequest and are bad topdecks in the lategame.

Does anybody have any suggestions with which to improve my decklist, and how have you built this deck yourself? Let's brainstorm the best version of Embiggen Druid together.

While it blows my mind that they thought that the expansion could launch in its current state, hopefully the action will be brutal and decisive. I've found it hard to even log in during the last few days which is pretty depressing given that this is typically the most fun part of the cycle. Fingers crossed that this puts things right.

Has anyone found any success with Galakrond in Warlock? I've tried some Zoo strategies, but it basically gets blown out by Galakrond Shaman's rush invoke.

I've just started trying to make a more control-oriented Darkest Day Galakrond work with things like Plague of Fire to get value out of the token imps, but so far results are unclear.

Hi folks,

netdecking is a shameful sin but some of us just suck at putting together 30 cards in a meaningful way on our own. With christmas coming, I thought I'd just put my wishlist here and wait and see if one of you could help me out. I offer my eternal gratitude and upvotes galore in exchange.

So here goes... who could provide one or more of the following lists:

Standard:
Heropower Hunter
Ramp Druid
A working Rogue list, preferable with Togwaggle, Galakrond and Waxadred

Wild:
Updated Pirate Warrior
Deathrattle Rogue

Thanks for your help and please feel free to post your own wishlist!

IIRC, Crystology used to draw Immortal Prelate, independent on what buffs the latter one already received. However this is not true anymore. Can someone confirm if this was introduced or if I'm remembering wrongly?

So after playing around with Treant Druid and being ultimately a bit disappointed (that game has some fantastic plays, but if you get pushed off the board early you're never getting it back and will most likely lose) I was still very much impressed by the power of [Hearthstone Card (Goru the Mighttree) Not Found], especially in combination with The Forest's Aid, which can make for gamewinning plays, especially when combined with Savage Roar and the like.

So I figured why not cut the entire Treant stuff and just go straight for the core....and so I put Goru and The Forest in Quest Druid.

The plan is simple: Instead of relying on Chef Nomi and Elise the Enlightened which need more set up and require us to draw through our deck before we can pressure, we play the tree (preferably as soon as we draw him) and then use the Treants to pressure. We have 4 reloads (and could even get more through Elise) which should run most decks out of removal. Additionally, we also have King Phaoris which benefits a lot from having an 8-mana spell in hand. Cenarius acts as our substitute Savage Roar.

Unfortunately, Quest Druid isn't really all that well positioned against the current "meta" since most decks snowball pretty hard and take the lead early. Something like Pirate Warrior is pretty hard to beat, especially if you don't get your Quest done on curve.

Still, I believe that the Tree package could actually help the deck out a lot against the slower decks which you now can simply outpressure instead of having to rely on outvaluing them (which you can't anyways, because decks have gotten so much more nutty)

Thoughts?

I've never played WoW past the Lyadrin Driop, so I don't have any knowledge about the lore. But it seems to me that Treants essentially are meant to be living trees. As are Ancients.

So my question is: Is there any reason lorewise that cards like Ancient of Lore, Ancient of War, Forbidden Ancient, Ironwood Golem, the spawn from Hidden Oasis, Lucentbark, Splintergraft and Goru the Mightree are not considered as treants? (maybe even Volcanic Lumberer)

It just seems odd that these aren't effected by treant buffs. Especially as this might be the tipping point for Lucentbark Druid or Treant Druid to be viable... :/

[Salty Part] WHY THE HELL IS TREESPEAKER A TRANSFORM EFFECT???????? [/Salty Part]

Hey all,

I‘m stuck in my workplace for 8 more hours and as a new employee i‘ve sworn to myself to not touch Heartstone while at work. To ease the pain and make time pass quicker, please share all the good stuff you are experiencing with me!

My best Highlight so far was a random generated Deathwing (the original one) in a galakrond shaman. I was in topdeck mode and he saved my ass! The effect got repeatet from Shudderwock and won me the game! 

Also, i played Deathwing, mad aspect, not knowing he attacks your own minions aswell. This completly messed up my Alextrasza turn.... Shame concede in the same second :P.  

this new shop is strange

Titles says it all, share your first impressions with the decks you got.

I tried Treant Druid. It honestly looks incredibly solid, although not insane. The main problem is still card draw but Aeroponics is a good foundation. Currently trying Cult Master, but maybe Overflow is the way to go. Goru is actually just great, he does so much for your lategame pressure. Also a deck for Keeper Stalladris finally.

Galakrond Priest seems....weird. The lack of card draw makes running any combos kind of moot (although I still think going Wretched Reclaimer + Grave Rune with the added discount from Fate Weaver is the best idea). The Hero power is just pretty crazy late game as it turns you into basically Deathstalker Rexxar except your deck is loaded with removal. Healing is a bit of an issue, but Sandhoof Waterbearers or Khartut could help (with the aforementioned Wretched Reclaimer and Grave Rune combo)

Sad to say Desert Obelisk is not an unbeatable win conditions, you all must be heartbroken.

Galakrond Warrior is really weird. I treid going control with big taunts, which isn't bad, but the Galakrond turn itself is impossibly slow. He's practically unplayable before fully upgrading because you need the claw to at least get some kind of tempo. If you do play him and live however, he's crazy good. Most decks can't deal with 7/10 Tomb Wardens or even just a 5/6 Eternium Rover. Maybe going tempo galakrond is better and just try to get some chargers from the battlecry to finish your opponent next turn.

Played against one Pirate Warrior, thought I beat him, but the weapon spam (and my lack of non-face removal) eventually got me killed. Still not convinced about that deck, it seems incredibly draw dependant and if you don't get a crazy Skybarge turn you basically rely on being able to sm0rc your opponent down with weapons and Leeroy.

Anyways, share your stories so we can all get a better picture of what'S going on out there.

Guys, I have some news about Questing Explorer and Sidequests.

If there was a twitter/reddit post about it, sorry for openning thread at the first place but I thought that maybe someone still don't know this.
At least I didn't know until I saw this in the game

Controlling a Sidequest makes Questing Explorer draws a card, so if you have some Sidequest in your quest decks, they are not dead cards after you complete your quest. I really liked this interaction.

I was playing Thief Rogue via Whizbang the Wonderful, completed the quest and then got Clear the Way randomly. After I played it, I just realised that Questing Explorer is shining activated with yellow holder.

I didn't think that Sidequests will activate it so I'm surprised and it made me happy a little.

So you can consider to add them in your decks with sidequests if you need some more card draws !

Restarted the game a few times?

Didn't see one so thought I'd kick it off - how'd everyone do with their pack openings?

Opened: 153

Legendaries: 8 (1 golden)

Nithogg - Meh not super impressed with this, but we'll see how it goes?

Mindflayer Kaahrj - Ditto. 

Deathwing, Mad Aspect - Happy with this one. Definitely going to run Dragon Warrior

Flik Skyshiv - Very solid card. Will find lots of use.

Chenvaala - Nice, I'll throw it in my Wild Odd DK Jaina Elemantal deck

Frizz Kindleroost - Woot!!!

Waxadred - Oh the incoming memes... 

Veranus (Golden) - Not bad, Let's give it a whirl

Epics: 34 (WOWZA!!) 2 Golden

I think RNGesus heard me talking about how much I was going to meme it up with Shuffle Transmogrifier Warlock because of those Epics, he(?) was FIVE of them, including 1 of the 2 goldens

Overall I'm very pleased - got a few of the legendaries I would have crafted, plus my hit rate was slightly better than" average" I think (isn't it on avg 20 packs - legendary, 5 packs - Epic?)

To all who preordered. What golden legendary(s) did you receive?

I got myself golden:

Waxadred

Murozond the Infinite

Both really cool golden animations!
