Competition Theme: A Hero's Tale

No more of these side-characters hogging the screen: it's time for the main players to take the stage!

• You must design a Legendary minion for one of the main Hearthstone avatar characters - Jaina, Thrall, Rexxar, etc.
  • Arthas already has one in The Lich King, so he will not count for this competition.

The Mercenaries had their moment to shine on the battlefield; Demonxz95 wants to bring the attention back to the old guard!

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

I haven´t seen it mentioned anywhere, and I´d miss it too, if I didn´t casually check the in-game shop, so I thought I might post about it. If it was, I´m sorry. They´re the 4 Hero skins from the Lunar New Year event from 2 years ago and you can buy the skins for 1000 gold, except for Valeera, she is for 1500 with cardback.

I feel bad for the players, but could we please get the original Jaina portret back now?

will there be a round of nerf today? If not, when?

what about miniset announcement ?

Competition Theme: Mini-Set Madness

The sets may be miniature in size, but there's an enormous past for them to cover.

• You must make a card for a theoretical mini-set of an old expansion that has not received one.
  • Work under the assumption that the mini-set comes out next Hearthstone Year (rather than back then).
    • That means you can use mechanics that did not exist at the time (Rush, spell schools, etc.).

What would happen if Hearthstone's mini-sets covered more of its not-so-mini past? Nobudy and Wailor are both asking that question this week.

Shouldn't be time for an announcement of the announcement?

Quote From Alecco

Hey everyone! I'm Aleco, the Final Design Lead on Hearthstone.

I know a lot of you have been asking about Standard balance changes. We're putting together a pretty big patch for ~1 week from now. In all honesty, I wish we could have shipped this patch a little sooner. The holiday break pushed our patch schedule, but the meta doesn't take a holiday, so I empathize with players who feel like this patch is coming late. Though I can't promise anything right now, we're chatting as a team about if we can adjust our patch cadence next holiday break. Hope you all enjoy the upcoming patch!

There are quite a lot of changes this season between the changes of hosts, prizes, and finals. I figure people will probably have a lot to say. Here's your place to do so.

Competition Theme: Keyword Katastrophe

Bold flavors. Fortune favors the bold. To boldly go where no one has gone before. Do you see what we're gettin' at?

• You must create a card that contains only keywords in its text box.
  • You can use periods and commas, of course, but no other words!

It's a catastrophe! R's kitchen is covered in cards crafted to contain a concoction of keywords. Somebody ought to clean this up!

Just a quick brag thread here (but also encouragement for my fellow Merc players). Yesterday I maxxed out Murloc Holmes, completing my collection of maxxed out mercenaries. I spent very little money on this mode (2 bundles early on, both in the $15 range), and just a lot of grinding. When the excess coin exchange arrived, I traded in for around 30,000 Renown. I now have about 1,000. Also have 73 packs saved up for future content drops. 

There is hope my friends! Yes, there are major problems with this game mode (bots in the pit, diminishing returns on coins, no pity timer on legendaries, etc.). But if you have fun playing it, keep going! The grind may be a slog, but at one PvP win per day and daily tasking, you can obtain a full set of maxxed out mercenaries. And there are lots of fun, competitive squads to play. I regularly encounter comps I haven't seen before, and sometimes I try them out myself!

Here's hoping for more content coming soon!

Competition Theme: Prepare for Tribal, Make it Double

There are two types of people in this world. Err, well actually there's quite a bit more than two, but we're going to focus specifically on getting two of them together.

• You must make a card that synergizes with dual-type minions.
  • This can be in the form of something like "Do something with [minion type A] or [minion type B]" or "Do something with a minion that has two minion types".
  • Your card must synergize with exactly two minion types. No more, no less.

This week marks the first week of season 6, and Moondreamer has asked us to kick it off with a competition of two tribes!

Competition Theme: The Dead of Knight

The Death Knights have arisen, and now we serve them... in our job to make them new cards. Your card must be a Death Knight card, but you've got up to three different routes to go for a valid entry!

• Rotten to the Corpse
  • Design a card with Corpse synergy.
    • The most straightforward way to do is to just make a card that spends Corpses, but there are a number of other ways you can go about this.
• Triple Threat
  • Create a triple-Rune card.
    • Hint: Look at the existing triple-Rune cards that Death Knight has to get a better understand of what constitutes as a triple-Rune card.
• House of the (Un)Dead
  • Design a card with Undead synergy/interaction.
    • Your card (if it's a minion) doesn't need to be an Undead, but merely just being an Undead will not count. Otherwise, you're free to go whatever route you want as long as it uses direct interaction with Undeads.

While you're more than welcome to try to make a card that fulfills all 3 prompts, this is fully optional and will likely prove to be a challenge.

We're kicking off Season 6 with a fun competition all about Death Knights. There's no prize for winning this one, but it'll be a sign of things to come.

Please note: This is a special competition and not in a normal season.

With 2022 coming to a close, I wanted to compile a nice presentation for every alternate hero skin. Alternate heroes are something I'm strangely passionate about, despite how inundated we are with them now and the fact that I don't even play Hearthstone anymore.

This is a visual list of every alternate hero skin organized by release order, as well as the year they were released. To qualify, the hero has to be a different character than the base hero, and only one character per portrait is counted. That's also including the two that are in the game but not currently obtainable.

EDIT: Apparently Whitemane and Mal'ganis are currently purchasable. My bad. Like I said, I'm not playing the game.

After playing mainly Control Blood DK in Standard since the expansion came out I want to play a faster deck for a change.

I consider to craft Pure Paladin for Standard. Here I am missing Kotori Lightblade. After playing against some Pure Paladins I can`t remember to see Kotori in action at all. I wonder how important this card is for the deck.

So: How relevant is this minion in the deck?

Is it important, nice to have or even redundant?
