Hearthstone

Hello all - yeah it's a long shot and Fireside Gatherings exist, but I'm curious if there are any Denver players out there who might want to meet up and play? I always enjoyed sitting across from my friends, laptop vs laptop, and having a drink and yelling at my bad hand, etc.... We've all moved on to our respective jobs across the country and playing online, in the confines of my home, isn't nearly as fun. 

Anyway, any takers? 

**nice proof reading on that title /sigh **

Haven't been playing Wild for a while. Tried out the "Greener Choice" deck (which is great BTW), and this happened:

My opponent played Linecracker, 2x BEEEES!!! into it, then 2x Earthen Scales. 2591 armor yay!

But hey, I still won :P My Jade dudes were at least 5-6 steps ahead, so I hung on to the board and slammed his face in so many times, while he was chipping away 3 damage at a time with Malfurion the Pestilent. It was such a long game I was scared it would be called a draw.

Anyways GG to my opponent, it was a pretty intense marathon!

Hi guys,

I know it's mayorly early to speculate about the next expansion theme, but when i was reading the funnies on the cardbacks it said on the new raven one: "could it have been Medihv all along?". Which made me think, would it be that simple? 

As Khadgar (wielder of Medihv's staff) already made an appearance it would be logic to think that Medihv actually will make an appearance again in the next expansion as the "mysterious prophet" and with a theme related to the lore below?

As it states in lore: "He was slain shortly after by his apprentice, Khadgar and his childhood friend, Lothar.

Shortly before the beginning of the Third War, Medivh returned as a mysterious prophet, manipulating events in order to arrange the formation of a last-ditch alliance between the mortal races on Kalimdor, guiding them to victory at the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

What do you guys think?

Note: in the event that I missed anything on the forum and this was actually discussed, I actually read alot of the cards but not alot of forum stuff)

guys, this deck is super fun - suggestions and improvements welcomed!

After getting this one from Blazing Invocation, I'm pretty sure my vote goes for this one (especially as it's epic):

EDIT: How do you display golden cards in OOC? XD

I've been laddering (ranks 10-3) with Control Shaman for 3 seasons. Usually the game was VERY favoured against warrior but the introduction of Armagedillo and Tomb Warden toggled the matchup. :/ 

The deck still seems to be favoured against Druid (Quest), Rogue (apart from hard aggro), Priest (all of them) and Quest Shaman, to name the meta decks. 

My current iteration looks as follows, and I'm quite contend with it. BUT I'D LOVE TO HEAR SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS!

Why no Highlander all the way through? - Because Earthshock and Hex are just so good against Priest, Paladin and Warrior!

I can't help but feel that highlander decks are so dull to play and play against. Once you know your opponent has only 1 of each spell (beyond discoverable shenanigans), playing around things becomes trivial. Most of the time, it's correct to gamble they don't have that perfect answer. If not, yay! You won!  If they did, scramble for Plan B.

I get that it's fun to make each card selected that much more meaningful, but the play and counter-play seem stale. 

Anyone else agree?

Hi, guys!

What are the new op decks after the nerfs? I really like Singleton decks, mage reno still op?
I want to craft singleton hunter (need only 2 legendaries), what do u guys think?

Sorry for the Noob question but what is a highlander deck?

Is it something to do with the movie? Or is it just a random name?

I'm preparing for a local wild tournament that will be on 9/17! The tournament is following the same Shield Conquest format of Grandmasters. These are the 4 decks I am thinking of bringing. I want to get my lineup solidified to give me time to practice with all of the decks. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the decklists, or maybe have any suggestions on different decks that might be good for a tournament setting?

Deck #1

I spent last month ranking with mostly Even Shaman. I used both this deck, and my Toteven Shaman list: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/6799-toteven-shaman I am torn on which one to bring.

Deck #2

Burn Mage is the deck to beat in Wild atm, so I think it would be silly to not bring it. I would need to craft Aluneth which wouldn't be a problem because I have the dust and have been debating it. I just have been trying to avoid the dark side.

Was leaning towards a Renolock to have a control deck option. Debating going with a Mecha'thun variant, but thinking this deck is probably the best option.

Deck #4 

I'm a little torn as to what to bring for the 4th deck. I'm thinking to either bring Odd Rogue, or to throw in a curve ball for fun and to throw opponents off with a Reno Dragon Hunter that I have a lot of fun with.

I was thinking today about the thing i hate most in hearthstone right now, lackey shit in every single deck on ladder and in casual mode, and it really got my gnoggin gjoggin. Warlock would be in a better place if defile was still in standard. It feels really bad to have to hellfire a board of 1/1s that the opponent can easily reproduce next turn due do the cancerous nature of lackey shit generating more and more lackey shit, and screeching a board of it, while discarding a card, just for them to repopulate the next turn is probably even worse. Idk, what cards do you think they should consider adding to the classic set?

https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/7301-rank-1-reno-meme-mage here is a link to it, I reached rank 1 with it this season but I'm not confident enough to pilot it to legend. All help and suggestions are greatly valued, but I wanna keep the meme aspect of it still there.

I was messing with the "complete my deck" option and it suggested me a deck with pyro, alex and the new naga card. Thinking on that it seemed like a good combo in a highlander priest shell so I tried to generate one.

This is what I came up with so far:

It's probably not the next meta breaker but has been a lot of fun and gives me a bit of a raza priest vibe (although the combo is so much slower and weaker than that one)

Hi all, I just wrote up my latest meme creation - "Anka'thun". This is a super cool OG C'Thun deck with exactly one C'Thun card.. C'Thun.

https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/7299

Any feedback would be great!

After the nerfs Hearthstone has felt much less exciting on a game to game basis. I think I expected a bigger change after the nerfs, but everything feels the same. The only thing I've really stopped seeing is Luna's Pocket Galaxy and everything else is the same. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'll take a deck to play, a card to build around, even just half an idea, I just want to enjoy the game.

i am a new player (played for 4 days now) and i discovered this forum. A couple of hours ago i openend 8 packs and i received 2 legendaries.

the legendaries are ysera and brightwing.

My question is are these legendaries good or not?

I am currently at rank 47 

Thank you in advance

With the recent nerfs, I have gained a substantial amount of dust, so I would like some peoples’ opinions on the following legendaries: 

1. Siamat

2. King Phaoris

3. Making Mummies

I see that Phaoris and Siamat are included in a lot of decks, but I am not very convinced that they are needed/good in them. The decks I want to put them in are mainly Highlander Hunter/Mage and try some meme stuff like Phaoris Paladin.

Along with Making Mummies, how have these legendaries affected your average game? Do they help you win more often than not, or are they just nice to have in the deck? And would you support crafting them? 

I have enough dust to craft all three of them, so its not really a “which is best to craft” and more so “are they good cards and worth crafting?”

All this goofeyness? 

Personally I would prefer another approach with stories closer to the warcraft franchise. 

One alliance vs. Horde expension is, what I'm waiting for since hs release.
