Hearthstone

If anyone is wondering why Ur'zul Horror adds Lost Soul to your hand it's because Ur'zul are made of Drenai/Krokul smooshed together into a demon body so when you kill it the Ur'zul releases the soul, in fact you can see the dead horror behind the lost soul in its art.

It seemed really great in the beginning when you don't see the opponent rank and you think "cool, I'm matching against opponents with my winrate"... but I reached legend since yesterday and I thought of playing some meme decks (as you do in legend). But then i got bored and I started to play seriously again and since I'm legend I can see my opponents rank. I've been destroying diamond 10 and 9 opponents and possibly made them gave up from ladder. And it doesn't feel good at all. Why am I not matching up against legend players for so long? This guys got no chance. I would not have felt good knowing that I was matching a good legend player if i was diamond 10.

I've been climbing the wild ladder with Spiteful Hunter due to the wonderful new card Nagrand Slam and have been really enjoying the climb so far. Has anyone else tried out this archetype? Is it better to go for a beast subset or dragons? Thoughts?

So I was buying packs from the latest expansion (AoO) and bought them by bunches of 10. After buying 20 packs with hard-earned f2p gold, I decide to buy some more. Then I realize packs from Ashes of Outland are no longer being offered in the shop and I had just mistakenly bought 10 packs from Descent of Dragons :'(

After logging off and back o, packs from AoO were available again. Is this a hack prevention strategy from blizzard's server? I wonder...

Too bad for my wasted gold. But hey, on the 10th DoD pack, I got a golden Chenvaala. So...karma ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now, this is my personal opinion, but personally I think monks should have been the new class. They're fat, lazy, drunk pandas pretty much the opposite of demon hunter. They could have been more control-oriented requiring chi and stuff, heck they could have still added outcast and called it feng shui or something. We have several important monks from WoW and lots more lore characters for a Pandaria Expac we already have Lei Shen as a hero. Lili could be a legendary and Chen could be the hero.

Monks have several playstyles in wow being drunk and staggering off damage to take it later, flinging mist to heal, and doing cool wind weaving stuff. They also have their statues that could act like shrines or something. THEY CAN LITERALLY SPLIT THEIR BODY APART INTO ELEMENTAL FORMS! 

TL:DR I think monk should have been the class instead of Demon hunter since it would probably be more on the control side and easier to balance/play against, but its early maybe DH will get fixed real soon. 

Any opinions and or hate is welcome and valid 

Just made it (exactly :D ) to 8000 in Battlegrounds and then I found the post here from a month ago that from 8000 you are in the top 0.1%?
Is  this true?

Anyway, was not so difficult to climb when you play more conservative and you still win the lobby sometimes in that way. 

You only end up bottom of top 4 when RNG f***s you really really hard. 

So here's a fun deck I thought of but since I don't have all the cards, I'd love people to test it.

The idea is to alternate between Primes and Shudders and trade off as many useless 1-drops as possible. 

Edit. Yogg is really optional and just something I'd do for fun.  Should probably be replaced.

Currently having a lot of fun trying demon hunter in wild. With 1 mana hero power and occasional cost reduction from skull of guldan suddenly some cards with inspire became much more interesting.

Anyway, with Baku you get an upgraded hero power, which gives you 2 attack instead of 1.

But, if after mulligan at the start of the game your leftmost card is eye beam, it gets outcasted, which means it costs 0. Suddenly, your Baku does not activate and you get a normal hero power! 
Do you guys think this is how it should be?

It's just isn't the power level of the class is off the charts even the last expansion dragon hunter got 0 chance against midrange demon hunter it's too good dunno what blizzard was thinking when they put all those insane cards in one class...

I played it for a bit it feels unstoppable even when skipping turns for being greedy with outcast, I think we will see it nerfed this week it's really not ok to be that strong I tried some other decks as well they didn't compare to DH in the slightliest..

hit list? the 4/2 for 3 that summons 2/2s , the 10/6 dormant demon that destroys the board and is too insane, the 6/7 rag lady that CAN attack as well..

the [Hearthstone Card (skull of guldan) Not Found], rogue needs to invoke galakround 3 times AND pay 7 mana to get the same effect but DH? just have the card in the left or right of your hand lol.

I mean.. yes you can push the class but those cards are nowhere near fair to other classes.. looking forward to playing the other classes when DH gets nerfed until then.. getting to legend with midrange DH.

seeing people playing token DH or big DH or anything but midrange or highlander is just a mistake play the cards that are busted.

Edit: twin slice is OP AF

17 legendaries from 172 packs! Does anyone know how I can add a video or do I need to upload the capture to youtube or something and give a link?

Sorry if this has been posted before. Today, some hours before the expansion release, I got upgraded version of demon hunter hero power from Sir Finley of the Sands, thought I should share.

It’s called Demon’s bite, you get +2 attack this turn for 1 mana

I made a list of decks for this expansion, they are in my profile.

1 Deck per class, based on the new cards for each class.

It will be nice if they get some feedback to make improvements and so on.

These are my example minions that I think could create a Spell Damage strategy in Battlegrounds. Even though Spell Damage by itself does not do anything in Battlegrounds, by creating Spell Damage payoff minions, Spell Damage becomes a valuable keyword. I also included some dragons and Divine Shield minions in these cards in order to make them more flexible and able to fit into multiple different gameplans. Cards like Tarecgosa and Dark Summoner, for example, are playable without additional Spell Damage.

Having looked at my pack tracker, I find I've opened 78 packs without a legendary.  (And 12 epics which is also below average.)

This is possible because it's across different sets and 3 regions.

But it's still pretty bad luck - but that's Hearthstone.

May your packs tomorrow be lucky :) :)

Hey!

It's ~17 hours for the next expansion to hit us like a brick, so what last-minute, fun decks do you guys have? Post stuff you're playing with, that uses some of the cards you love the most that are being rotated out.

Mine is a full-on Thief Rogue, and it does surprisingly well.

Competition Theme: The Price Of Power

We're looking for powerful minions this week - so powerful, in fact, that they come with a drawback to offset them.

• You must create a minion
• Your minion must have better than average stats or effects for its cost, with a drawback
  • Examples include Flamewreathed Faceless and Vulgar Homunculus
  • Note that merely having poor stats will not be considered a drawback.

For the purposes of this competition, Dormant is banned.

MathU wanted to see some cards that traded power for a price this week, so get those deals flowing!

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Discussion Thread Rules

No thread rules were added to this season. Please populate and manually edit this thread with them.

If I go from bronze 10 to bronze 5 in wild do I get any rewards or does it not stack? And if I do get rewards will they be wild or standard?

This is probably a meme deck but:

Al'ar is just a card I wanted to try feel free to replace it.

So I usually wait far too long until I craft those great legendaries I never open. Tomorrow though I’m thinking of making an exception, and craft those I really want and hope to open those good ones you want to have but not craft. 
I’m thinking of Maiev Shadowsong (good neutral + old WC3 fave), Kayn Sunfury (probably key finisher for Illidan) and Kargath Bladefist (just too good to pass). 
What  to you think of these?
