Hearthstone

Howdy, I love Hearthstone more than I ever did MtG but one of the things I really miss is all the different formats you could play.  When you got your friends together there was a bunch of different rule sets that we either learned from others or found online.  Even had a few house formats for fun (first 5 turns no attacking was interesting).  

My favorite one always comes to mind with these co-op brawls, and that's 2 headed giants.  This format essentially allowed 4 players to join in teams of 2.  Both players share a life total (double the normal starting amount).  You didn't share a mana pool and the format for turns was Team 1 player A, Team 2 player A, Team 1 player B, team 2 player B.  This was a blast as we had tons of different ways to play it.  Sometimes one player was incredibly defensive while the second played combo.  You could also double up on the same strategy like a super aggro team.  I would love to see something like this in Hearthstone.  

What formats would you like to see?

How is it possible that they have not released the update for iphone yet?

im literally spending 1 hour now to defeat the boss, but my "opponent" is just to stupid to know what to do and alays goes in at 60 hps instead of 1 shooting him

So last year around this time (6/11) there was an event called Taverns of Time. As a quick overview it featured about 30 unique Tavern Brawl exclusive cards. Most of it revolved around the Caverns of Time scenario from world of warcraft.

Some of the stuff from taverns of time is complementing stuff added in rise of shadows. Possibility Seeker was a 4 mana 4/5 shuffle your hand into your deck draw that many cards. Warlock has Plot Twist which is basically the same effect but as a spell. Cavern Dreamer adds a 2 or less mana cost spell to your hand at the end of turn. It was introduced in an era where mages were playing mostly 5+ mana spells. Right now we have cyclone mage instead which is pretty much the polar opposite. Fatecleaver seems like an interesting, and extreme, counter to Pogo rogue although the tavern set also introduced infinite minions with similar properties. Also noteworthy was that there were two named wow characters: Chromie and Murozond.

So if Rise of the Mechs is an event this year that focuses on the second set of last year. Was taverns of time a cheeky way to hint at the second set of this year from last year?

We got no new tribes since Un'goro and I think it would be nice to have new ones. Lets speculate what tribes should be added to Hearthstone and what we may see in the future

I can see three potential tribes

1) Plants. We have tons of plants in druid as well as several neutral plants.
2) Oozes (there are quite a fey slimes\oozes in wild, including stuff that generates slimes\oozes. Standard currently has 4 (acdic\underbelly ooze, floop, 1\1 token generated by the 2/4 rogue mech) 
3) Ghosts (There are enough ghosts\spirits\phantoms\shades\wisp to make them a tribe. Cards like cursed castaway and arfus are a problem)

Anyone having luck against hunter? If so what decks?

seems like everyone is playing hunter right now and it feels super strong

I'm getting an "un even" permissions error code-thing, and although deck tracker is loading up it will not sync with my game to take any new data, also the overlay is broken. basically nothing is working. 

I have tried doing what it says in the error msg and it doesn't work. could it be linked to the new patch, as it was working fine before that I'm sure. I don't like playing without the overlay, so hopefully I can at least get in keeper working again. will in keeper be gone when Hearthpwn goes down as well does anyone know, please? 

This is just a place to upload my own card and boss ideas. Feel free to comment if you want.

Avengers, Assemble!

This is the first card I made that caused some traction, both on r/CustomHearthstone and Hearthcards.net. It was made as a logial extreme to Recruit Warrior that the devs were trying to push for like two expansions. It's not supposed to be a serious card, more of a joke than anything.

Castleback

My highest rated card on Hearthcards.net is a simple Overkill minion. Use this to gain a bunch of Silver Hand Recruits. Unfortunately, as long as Duel! exists (is in Standard), a card like this probably won't exist.

Hi!

I have really been struggling lately to find a fun (not necessarily tier 1-2) deck to play both in wild and standard.
Somehow I seem to miss the key cards in all the netdecks available and my deck-brewing skills are not that great to be honest. I have tried though.
Decks I have tried but can't play:

• Zoolock (Standard) - Don't have Magic Carpet
• Even Warlock (wild) - Don't have Mountain Giant
• Reno Lock (wild) - Don't have Kazakus
• Darkest Hour Warlock (wild) - This I can build a version of but it literally sucks (or maybe I do?)
• SN1P SN4P Warlock (wild) - This seemed fun (stole it from kripp) but got mostly beaten up by Rouges

Any help? Suggestions?

I've tried to play a few games with token shaman after the buffs and I really like it! Token shaman got three positives from this patch: Strombringer cost reduction, Thunderhead Buff and the Snip Snap. I definitely have some toying around to do with the decklist but going for the mech-based list gives some synergies + the mechs seem to have best token producing cards atm.

I can post my decklist later but definately recommend trying out some token shaman madness!

I'm curious if anyone else has thought about this possibility. The earliest example I can think of is Kingsbane. Back in the day, having your opponent constantly re-equip a 13/4 lifesteal weapon for 1 mana felt bad, but honestly, I think it would be just as bad with a higher cost (also, the Leeching Poison nerf alleviates this a bit).

As I mention in the title, Dire Frenzy allows things like playing a 5/8 rhino and two 4/6 scalehides, for example, all in one turn for 9 mana, and having more copies of each to do it again.

I'm not sure if Immortal Prelate can be quite as oppressive, but it does allow some really wacky combos.

Consider this: in Dalaran Heist (where insanely OP combos are SUPPOSED to happen), the Bartender can offer you "Give a minion +4/+4, and increase its cost by 2."

I have noticed that a couple of minor things have changed since the last update which were not mentioned on the site (at least not to my knowledge). 

first of all, they have added another set filter. right now it will show you all the buffed cards as well as snip-snap, and I am guessing it will show nerfed cards, HoFed cards, and other such stuff in the future.

also when building a deck you can now exceed 30 cards, you can not play a deck with more than thirty, but you can add as many cards as you like while building it. and when you add whizbang/zayle it will not automatically remove all the cards and finish the deck, it will just change the maximum number of cards too (1) until you remove them. 

I though these changes were neat, and I had no idea about them until after I had discovered them on my own. and as far as I know, Blizzard has not mentioned these changes anywhere. 

the cost of her hero power is now 3 (from 2) and it shows in red.. did you guys notice any other nerf/changes to bosses that got nerfed/buffed?

I want to craft up Mech Paladin, since it's been a deck that I've been interested since Boomsday, and now that it's pretty good, I feel like it's prime time to craft it. The problem is, I'm missing the two epics: Prismatic Lens and Glowstone Technician, and I (currently) only have 1000 dust. Is it better to go for 2 of either, or 1 of both? Since with the Glowstone Technician buffs, it's now a pretty strong handbuff card, without even losing too much tempo. However, Prismatic Lens provides some much needed draw for the deck, and with all the cheap spells it can reduce the cost of minions you draw. What should I craft, and what are some potential replacements I can use until I get the cards? 

P.s. Also no, I'm not going to spend my dust elsewhere, so don't reply with "the deck is bad just craft token druid 4Head" please.

Visit the Out of Cards Card Back Gallery!

Due to HearthPwn shutting down soon, I have moved this guide here on this forum. Out of Cards does not seem to have a Hearthstone Card Back Gallery Page or Guide that I can find on their website. I hope the Admins at Out of Cards will see this post but for now I hope this will help you all on how to get any missing card back in your collection. I do keep this link updated whenever a new card back is revealed. Below is the original post from HearthPwn...

(I don't know why HearthPwn haven't been updating their Card Back Gallery page.)

But if anyone is interested in seeing the "ENTIRE CARD BACK SET" and how to get them, I have a personal collection that everyone can look at, on GoogleDrive, at the following link...

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zyiCo83uYzkPA8m6qGQfhFBXLyzGKieN_35HC-zxUDo

Some are not as rendered as good as HearthPwn does it but the whole card back collection is there, I keep this link up to date.

Entire Card Back Set - Last Updated: June 3rd, 2019

Currently there are 118 card backs ever revealed. The document has a blue number on top of each card back representing the order of when the card back was announced (not the order it was added to the game), then card back image, then name of the card back, then how to get the card back, then the card back flavor text and then lastly if the card back can still be obtainable or not.

Also send an in-game friend request if you like too, my battle tag ID will show up on top. I'm a big card back collector but I'm also a casual player so I do not have every card back because I get stuck at curtain game modes/adventures or has never been to any official Blizzard esport events.

Hey guys,

for a few days (almost two weeks now), I started playing Hearthstone actively. However, I am kind of confused by the amount of archetypes for decks.

So far I managed to achieve rank 8 by using some deck I found online (Token Druid). I'd love to be able to create my own decks and understand some of the basics of the game. Anyone here that could recommend me a source to catch up on all required information?

Cheers

IDK what it is but my pack opening at the beginning of the ROS expansion has been plagued with duplicate epics which severely limited my collection.  For example, i opened around 50 packs on ROS expansion day and only opened a handful of epics.  4 of those were Batterhead.  I have opened a couple more batterheads since then and then on the new bundle that just came out... 3 epics, 2 of which were batterheads.  I don't want a batter-head and i would love to have some of the other epics to diversify my collection!  Anyone else having similar problems with too much batter and not enough cakepans?

I saw kiblers stream and he went 17/7 with it iirc, i dont think the deck is optimal but i think it's atleast a tier 2 deck, some of the cards like zerek were already strong same with that 12 mana 7/8 taunt, extra arms plus archmage was the last thing needed to make the deck good

But what do you people think, trash or pogchamp? 

With Pogo Hopper being buffed to a 1-drop, I believe this now offers a lot of flexibility and possibilities for building a successful Pogo deck.  It's less the fact that you can and will play PH on 1, but the fact that it's faster to combo with cards like Lab Recruiter and Daring Escape.  

After trying out some ideas last night, here's what I would consider to be "core":

• 2x Pogo-Hopper
• 2x Lab Recruiter
• 2x Shadowstep
• 1x Myra's Unstable Element
• 2x Witchwood Piper
• 2x Togwaggle's Scheme
• 2x Backstab
• 1x Zilliax

I'm still undecided about which draw engine(s) are best.  We could add a couple of Preps and Auctioneers.  We could add Thalnos and Acolyte of Pains.  Probably want to add at least one FoK.  Last night I was trying out 2x Daring Escape but two might be overkill.  There's also the possibility of Sprint and/or Vanish.  Lastly, because this deck can take a few turns to get going, we need some early survivability.  That will either be through spell removal (like Walk the Plank) or contesting the board with tempo oriented minions, like SI:7.  

What are you all playing with?  What are your ideas for resurrecting this deck?  

It's weird but I largely only play one class. And it's the same class I play in WoW - paladin. I know that makes no logical sense in a card game but ... every time I dabble in another class I just don't enjoy it. I also know it limits my ability to be truly great at this game. But for whatever reason I enjoy playing pally and only pally.

Any other single-class Hearthstone players out there?
