Hearthstone

Simple question; although I expect very diverse answers... "What do you consider BM within HS?"

Repetitive intentional roping and spamming emotes are probably the most commonly acknowledged BM behaviors.

Now for something more subtle and only noticable by yourself... What about playing a topdecked card (which flips the board state in your favor) instead of playing the exact same copy of that topdecked card which you already had several turns earlier in your hand. Would this also be considered as BM or does it just proof that you are being an ass**le? 😅

I saw a post with a similar topic for another card game, and I think it would be fun to do a similar thing for Hearthstone on the forum.  I will start, let’s put a card you underestimated and one you overestimated from expansion reveals as compared to how it actually played out in the meta.  If you only have a card in one of these categories just post that one.

Underestimated:

I thought it was going to be way too slow to see play and that you would often lose to aggro before having a chance to play it but it actually saw play in a lot of control shamans and was considered a powerful card.

Overestimated:

I thought it was going to be a powerful late game card in deathrattle decks, copying 3 deathrattles and having a large impact.  But it turned out to barely see play in the meta, it is only used in fun and meme level decks but not in any meta decks.

Which cards did you underestimate and overestimate and what was your reasoning at the time?

I understand that Core cards will be given for free according to the Levels.

I am just level 46 as DH; what do you think? Do I risk to miss some important cards ? Tks

Hello

Some of you might remember me (good), some might not (probably better). About half a year ago I decided to quit the game for good for various reasons (the main one being the unchanging frustration about the meta always being worse than expected. Fuck Demon Hunter, all my homies hate Demon Hunter) and while it was one of the best decisions I had made in a long time, reading about the upcoming Core Set really caught my interest again. Basically I'm too curious to see how that will turn out to not make the smarter decision of just ignoring it.

However, since I quit before thee Tavern Pass was introduced I have literally no idea how the HS f2p economy is nowadays. I know that the Pass was pretty dogshit when it first came out and it resulted in a number of changes. Did these changes actually fix the problems? Or more specifically: Are you still able to accquire the same amount of gold (roughly) in between expansions for the same amount of playtime.

I remember my personal highscore being over 10k gold saved up. Is that possible in the current system without spending absurd amounts of time? Is there an overall gold average that casual players can report?

I really don#t care about catching up with the current expansion since I have at least 2k gold still lying around and more dust than I need, but I really want to know how long it would take to, say, farm 5k gold?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I just wanted to make a sneak peak of the project me and my team have been working on called The Halls of Brawl. Bizmo Brawlpub and Boss Bazzelflange wanna settle the score and figure out which Brawler's Guild—the Horde's or the Alliance's— has the better fighter, and their solution was to launch a tournament of epic proportions and see, once and for all, which faction fights the hardest.

I will let everyone name one card (none of the italicized names), and at 8:00pm EST I will return with a straw poll with all the cards that were named, at which point you guys can vote on the card you want to see. See you guys then!

As an f2p player who joined HS during Kobolds and Catacombs, I am really looking forward to being able to experience what HS was like at the beginning. What cards and decks are you guys and gals going to be playing when it releases? 

I'm probably going to be messing around with some cards which get their nerfs reverted like Warsong Commander.

Welcome to The Blacklist!

I thought about this thread for a long long time, and given you can ignore friend requests, and you can report users in the launcher for harassment, but there are a lot of salty people out there, that can send you a request after a relatively normal game and then start to harass you endlessly until you kick them out or they just go away after driving you a little insane and they just get bored out.

So, this would be the place where you could preemptively get an idea of WHO are you adding.

The idea is to give a name and the reason you're pointing it out, maybe a screenshot if you managed to take one.

I'll update this post to add names, and call out why they show up here.

Hey everyone,

With the recent announcement, anyone care to share any tidbits or some nice-to-know info?

My take-aways from the announcements:

• Unlike Hall of Fame, no dust for cards that will rotate out of the core set. (I really regret holding onto Edwin)
• No point in holding unto classic packs since the new core set will be free

**Disclaimer: this is just my understanding, so I may be wrong or have misunderstood.

I'm finding myself in the middle of another meta where no viable deck appeals to me and statistically speaking I have a 50-50 chance of having one I like around this time in the next expansion as well.

I've never understood why the bulk of the Hearthstone population doesn't feel more cheated when metas settle and only 5-10% of the cards released see play at all. It's no different then buying a footlong sandwich from a Subway and taking two bites then throwing it away!

These are cards good money was spent on or excitement was had awaiting them and then *poof!*, have fun getting beat by the 3 or 4 decks that work if you want to play them. Wait forever to open a Legendary and chances are it stinks. Greedy big effect card? Ha, good luck it'll do anything.

To me it just reeks of laziness that is only allowed bc the community doesn't urge them on buffing cards more: they've shown some indication of wanting to buff cards but imho it's miserably short every time. 

Pencils have erasers for a reason and squeeky wheels get the oil. I would seriously raise your voice (which equals $ to them) on trying to get this game away from the robotic states it always falls into. My solution? At least monthly buffs and nerfs. Shake up the metas and have something to look forward to every month.

This forum is to discuss Hearthstone's Classic Format!

• Arrives on set rotation this year.
• You get to play with the original 240 Hearthstone cards as they were in 2014 - no nerfs or buffs!
• Your collection gets mirrored - having the current card also gives you the older card.
• This is only with Basic & Classic cards. No other additions have been announced.
• Has its own matchmaking pool and ranked play mode.
• Games you play count towards achievements.
• Cards that were added to the Classic set past 2014 will no longer be included in Classic Packs but instead can be crafted.
• Demon Hunter will not be playable in the format.

Quick backstory:

I've been playing since Naxxramas, and used to reach Rank 3 before the ladder revamp. I've made it to Diamond 4 a couple times (where I am now). I'm feeling pretty good about my chances for a first time Legend this month. I got to Diamond mostly playing Ramp Paladin, then switched to this greedy control warlock and have been doing well and having fun. I teach high school, and have vacation coming up next week, so more time to grind. I would love some support from this awesome community.

Here's my current deck:

I would love suggestions on the deck itself, if you have any to offer.

If anyone wants to add me in game and spectate, it could be fun and helpful. I'm currently Diamond 4 Standard.

I tend to beat aggro either by a landslide when I get my good early game stuff and draw lots of Soul Fragments, or by a super thin margin, which is very exciting. I hold up well against most control decks. Ramp Paladin with Alura on curve kills me every time, but what can you do.

Send me positive vibes, Out of Cards! I'm on my way!

Hey everyone, I’m working on a concept that’ll introduce the guild system into hearthstone. I have a few ideas on what to include but I want to hear from you all to see what you’d like to see in a guild system for Hearthstone. Such as; Guild Roles, raids, rewards, benefits, rivalries, and anything else you can think of.

This project will probably be a bit larger than my other creations Tables, and The Tavern Renovation so it’ll be a while before it’s actually posted.

Thank you in advance.

"Climb aboard, for the greatest vacation in the universe!"

Once a grand vessel for the Draenei, this dimensional ship suffered a crash and lay dormant for centuries. It used to function as the home of the Draenei, but ever since their relocation the ship has sat there, empty...until now!
Rebuilt and refurbished into a wonderful cruise ship prepared to give its guests a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable journey to their destintations!

What destination you may ask? Well, that's where you come in! Ten lucky guests who received our special tickets at random will be able to choose a destination from our wonderful selection.
So pack your things and prepare for adventure and wonder as we embark on the Maiden Voyage of the Exodar!

Expansion Mechanics:

• Warped: Like a reverse Dormant, this keyword gives the cards a 'count' which causes them to die after the number of turns specified on their text expires. Also like Dormant, the counts will begin at the start of their controlling player's turns, but taking place after any Start of Turn effects.
  
• Travellers: The 'class cycle' of the expansion similar to Schemes or Projects. These are among the many guests on the Exodar, excited to see what adventures its destinations have to offer. But like most vacationers, they never leave home unprepared! All of these will draw a spell when played, and have an additional effect depending on its Cost, allowing for some strategy during deckbuilding.
  

The Cards:

(Author's Note: Formatting might get a bit tight with how I uploaded these, so I have included imgur albums with the individual cards. Just click on the class name to get their corresponding album!)

Demon Hunter:

Druid:

Hunter:

Mage:

Paladin:

Priest:

Rogue:

Shaman:

Warlock:

Warrior:

Neutral Cards

All journeys have their potential dangers, and travelling through the void of space is certainly no exception! But do not worry, dear guests. Our staff members are trained not only for your enjoyment, but for your protection! So sit back, relax, and enjoy everything this cruise, and this galaxy, has to offer!

Common:

Rare

Epic

Legendary

Note: The class borders are simply for flavor and do not affect which choices the player will get when they play Astra. Players will always get a choice from three of these ten cards.

Bonus Stuff

With all Blizzard expansion releases come a plethora of bonuses! Here are my takes on how those would be should this expansion be 'a real thing'

Preodrer Bonus: Yrel Paladin Hero Skin and 'Lightforged' Cardback (Already in game, but does fit Yrel thematically)

Celstial Coin: Awarded to Players who have at least one copy of every card in Maiden Voyage of the Exodar set!

Battlegrounds Heroes: Space travel takes a long time, so some of our guests (and a staff member!) Have joined the Battlegrounds to entertain themselves on our journey.

Final Author Notes

Well I hope you enjoyed the Maiden Voyage of the Exodar! I've been working on this project off and on with fellow designer Mega-Pixel over the last few months. Huge thanks to them and their design of the Logo as well as a ton of cards on here.
Space-based expansions are a rare sight, and I wanted to go for a unique theme rather than Mechs and Sci-fi. Hopefully everyone reading this enjoyed everything it had to offer and found some cards they wish were in the game. Stay tuned as Mega-Pixel and I are working on a mini-set similar to Darkmoon Races.

If you do like the cards, you can also check out another Expansion Mega-Pixel and I collaborated on: Crusade of Light

How to defeat him? I tried a few times without success ... his three "defenders" are too tough ...

I just finished the Sylvanas fight (final boss in Anduin's chapter in the  Book of Heroes) and I was absolutely blown away by it. It felt like I was raiding in WoW again, progressing to various stages of the fight with each requiring different strategies. And because of the 1 mana draw 2, you actually seem to get the resources that you need to do that pretty reliably. Very good design. Lore-wise it felt very accurate too and the whole experience of your growing army of legendaries made it just feel like an epic fight.

What probably helped too was that I killed her with no card left in my deck and when her HP started to feel overwhelming - a bit similar to downing a WoW raid boss with everyone running out-of-mana and half the raid dead when you land this final hit.

So for me, yes, it was the best PvE content that I have played in HS. What are your experiences?

I’ve avoided buying any BoH bundles, but this SI7 Anduin skin is calling me...

I was wondering, if I buy the bundle and wait until the new year to open would they give me cards from 2021 exp 1?  Or do you think they will only give from Year of the Dragon/Phoenix cards since that’s the standard year right now

Hello there!

I don't know how many of you out there are as ADHD as I am, but when I got the new quests for Darkmoon Faire I felt an unbelievable urge to kill them off for the mediocre reward of 300 XP (per quest fully completed).  I honestly feel compelled to always get these done before I can enjoy the game with decks that I like to play.  I have tried to incorporate the cards into the decks I like, but a number of them just aren't able to be included in a competitive deck.  I'm trying to do the Hunter one for the bola... the only time I get the chance to really kill minions with it is if I end up going against a Face Hunter, and even then... it is up the RNG Gods to give me that damned card to play and kill a measly 3 minions before I die.

I have been able to kill two birds with one stone on some of them, like a fun Demon Hunter deck with the Aldrachi Warblades with cards that helps you boost your attack (like that is hard to do in DH), will actually kill off your Paladin quest for gaining life from lifestealing weapons.  A much easier feat with a different class.   

I even was able to kill off the Warrior quest for attacking with armor using Guardian Druid since your hero power grants you 1 armor before you attack.

So my question is this for the community:  Have you killed off all your DMF quests and how did you get the particularly difficult ones done, like Forbidden Jutsu with Rogue's secret of getting a 10 cost minion from your opponent attacking you?

I was just playing against an ETC warrior, fully aware that I was going to lose, but hey!

I'm not salty about the loss but I have to admit that the way I lost got me a little upset:

E.T.C., God of Metal reads After a friendly Rush minion attacks, deal 2 damage to the enemy hero.

However I was given the final blow by ETC itself - with a trade that killed ETC.

I'd reason that ETC wasn't alive after the attack, so I do not understand why he procced at all.

Is this a bug or is this interaction working as intended? (I can't recall any other card that procs after it dies)
