Hearthstone

Has anyone else been blown away by Purple's Paladin deck at Grandmasters?

OTK Wrath + infinite Da Undatakar

so much love to any pro who brings such an out there deck to a competition

Dog went down 2-0 uhhh

really recommend checking out Purple's matches.

I don't want this to just be another Big Priest bitching thread. Complaining about Big Priest has done nothing to make Blizzard understand what the problem is. 

Instead, I want to hear from people who play Big Priest, and hear why they enjoy playing it.

Let me explain:

In the recent Developers AMA. This was said by Iksar about Big Priest:

"Statistically speaking, Big Priest is pretty average. However, it's one of the most played decks. One of the easiest explanations for this is that players like playing the deck."

I personally consider this statement to be completely out of touch with the community. From everything I've ever seen in discussions with Big Priest, even Priest players hate the deck. 

So I want anyone who plays Big Priest, to just post why they play it. I want to get an idea if Blizzard is correct in saying that players like playing it, or if there are other reasons that Blizz is oblivious to for why people play it. 

Hey everyone!  A few days ago I had a neat idea that I haven't seen yet, and after getting back from vacation finally had an opportunity to give it a go.  I give you, Infinite Undatakah Priest.

https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/3021-infinite-undatakah

As you can see in the guide, at its core, it's a Control Priest deck, but with a neat ending.  The set up for the combo is to play (and have die) Test Subject (or two) and Recurring Villain.  Then, once you play Da Undatakah and cast Seance, you go infinite when Da Undatakah dies, and depending on what is in the Deathrattle pool, you either get two Seances or resummon Da Undatakah twice (if you've cast at least one Arms on Recurring Villain). 

If you end up with multiple copies of Seance in your loop, you can then also go infinite with Grave Horrors. 

Elysianna is there to not die in fatigue.

Flex spots are definitely Elysianna and Madame Lazul, and probably others. 

As the guide says, this deck is mostly garbage but it's fun nonetheless.  Play it, test it, have fun with it, let me know what you'd change...Enjoy!

My golden Recurring Villian and Bronze Herald have both disappeared from my collection. Has this also happened to anyone else?

The next installment of my story driven theme decks is here, and this one is about a rival business to Gallywix's Bilgewater Banana Company: Lynchen and Noggenfogger's Perfect Brew.

As ever the theme comes at a cost to win rates, but it's really the story these decks exist for so do have a read of the guide if you're interested.

Nevertheless, it is good to explore the wealth of underused mechanics the game has to offer. In this case giving minions poisonous leads to some unique plays to catch your opponent off-guard.

Anyway, if you have the key cards and want to put them to good use (possibly for the first time!) you might get some enjoyment out of it.

So I'm curious if anyone knows why this happens. 

I just lost to a priest combo deck that should have timed out long before the combo killed me. I've done similar combos, but I have only got them off maybe once or twice before I time out. 

My question is this, how can you not time out?  I'm actively doing the combo... In playing cards... I have a great and fast connection... And my processor is moving fast.  So why is it that some people are able to get their combos off, while others are held strictly to the time?

I went to work and left my home PC "watching" Twitch

when at home this evening I got a notification that I had received 2 + 3 packs for watching ... Have I been selected three times among the 1500 free hourly pack?

what a luck !

Mark your schedules, The League of Explorers is coming to comic-con Thursday 18 July 

The League of Explorers is coming to sunny Southern California for San Diego Comic-Con! Stop by for an unforgettable panel featuring iconic Hearthstone voice actors and a member of the development team.

Hearthstone game designer Dave Kosak and voice actors Terrence Stone (Sir Finley), Amy Walker (Elise Starseeker), and Carlos Larkin (Brann Bronzebeard) will be on stage at Comic-Con to share stories about the iconic characters starring in Saviors of Uldum, our heroic upcoming expansion.

The panelists will reflect on how they brought their characters to life—from their first audition to the process of finding their true voices—and even share a sneak peek at 4 of the Legendary new cards coming in Saviors of Uldum.

The panel and Q&A session will be moderated by Blizzard's senior casting and voice director Andrea Toyias.

Anybody else having problems watching Grandmaster on Twitch.  I thought we were supposed to get packs today for watching but they are not broadcasting when I go to Twitch

I'm legitimately curious if people are actually trying to reach the legendary reveal after beating the Blackrock Crash run.

Are you grinding or did you stop once you got all the rewards?

Personally, I am completing all the quests I can in the Brawl for now, but I've only beaten 22 bosses so far.

I just now noticed that Rafaam is not in the brawl. You can play as any other evil class, but not warlock. So, where did Rafaam go?

Imagine a somewhat oversized, bearded fairy appeared, hollering “Well met!” and granting you a once in a lifetime chance of 3 hearthstone related wishes. What would you wish for?

Here are mine:

1. Change the dust economy. Disenchanting a card should reward half of its cost in dust. That would lead to more possibilities for everyone, hopefully resulting in more creativity. Furthermore, people who like golden cards could now get one for every eighth card of the same rarity they dusted, which sounds fair to me.

2. Make solo content available offline. I would love to be able to play solo adventures on a train or a bus without having to rely on a working internet connection. Often enough, the latter is not a given thing. Being able to play offline might significantly increase the time (and maybe even number of) people played hearthstone.

3. Abandon “time-walls”. While it is possible to craft or obtain every card in the game if you invest heavily enough, there is no way to compensate if you missed out on an expansion release or an event offering hero skins. I understand that people paid heavily for their mega bundles and don’t want the hero skins to be given away for free to everyone, but why not add them to the shop for let’s say double the price of the usual hero skins? I would certainly be intrigued by the prospect of getting Madame Lazul for 20 €.

Since I’m not sure if my wish number 2 is technically possible (how much storage would be needed?), I’ll sneak in a joker: I want more cosmetics. Give us something to do after obtaining 500 wins. Give us entry effects, emotes, pets, diamond borders, whatever.

Now what would be your wishes? What are the top three things you’d like to change?

It just occurred to me that...

1. RoS is about EVIL which is represented by (priest, rogue, warrior and shaman).
2. Uldum will be about LoE represented by (mage, druid, hunter, paladin)
3. Warlock has been hitting the rock bottom of all classes, and its quest does not look so great already...

....so this leaves Warlock as the odd one out, for a "surprise" comeback in the 3rd set this year, against both EVIL and LoE?

What do you reckon?

The TL;DR is that Divine Spirit doesn't match priest's class identity, limits card design, feels bad to play against and is something that will be probably changed or rotated to the HoF as soon as they want to print a card that this restricts

At this point, you may as well say winning is against priest's class identity lol

Hi there, i do not know if something like that was discussed since the release of Hearthstone so i just gonna throw my idea out there :)

Hearthstone is/was based on the Warcraft Lore - and in Games like WoW there is a Guild System. Could a Guild System work in Hearthstone? 

I mean you can Build a Guild and every member would get a Guild Symbol and the Guild Name is added as a Subtitle to his name. There could be Guild Quests or some kind of Achievements that gives you gold etc. 

I've seen systems like this in other Games (Injustice 2 for example - every guild member can fight "Guild Fights" and earn points for the guild so they could get different prices etc.)

Do you think some sort of Guild System could work and be a nice addition to the Game ? 

I've been wondering about this for a while, so I thought I'd see what other people think. Do you believe that the structure and layout of Hearthstone is limiting the amount of ideas for new mechanics that could be implemented? For example, the lack of a discard pile. I sometimes worry that they will run out of new ways for cards to interact, causing some sort of doldrums in the game. This is a question about ideas for flavor-- they have a lot to draw on in terms of that-- but the cards themselves. What entirely new mechanics could you come up with? Are my fears ill-founded or on track?

Since it's pretty much a given that people are gonna have the villain in stock, I figured I'd share a deck I've been having lots of fun with in wild since ROS release.

There's probably lots of more powerful additions that can be made to this deck; possibly a Sylvanas windrunner or a N'ZOTH (though I think that one's quite slow). I even tested the Lost Spirit but it clashed with the Seeping Oozeling play.

Anyway have fun or at least try to!

I am a WoW lore-fanatic and I think I have something to mention about the next HS- expansion. There is strong evidence that in the WoW-universe our next task is empower the Dragonflight.

Since BfA missed it point Blizzard has to create a great Blizzcon in november and I think having a Blizzcon all about Dragons will blow the audience away. Rastakhans Rumble has a connection with newly characters introduced in WoW. So I hope they will tie expansions together again.

i have been playing this brawl for hours but i can't beat it.

any tips that can help me?

I would like a queue where I can say "I want to play a x-type of deck and I am a y-type of deck" where x, y are either aggro, control, mid-range, OTK/combo.

Other's can queue in the same way, Blizzard connects them and off we go, we always get a matchup we want. Just to practice a deck/matchup, not a ranked match but casual. How cool would that be! And much more efficient than queueing into Casual.
