Hearthstone

Competition Theme: When Worlds Collide

It's time to get creative and try out some new combinations!

• You must create a card which has at least two set-specific keywords or mechanics (from different sets)
  • There's only one card which has done this before - SN1P-SN4P - so you have a lot of room for new ideas

Hordaki is looking for your best mash-up cards as we come up to the end of the year - so get creative!

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

I haven't played as much the last few months and just wanted to hear what off-meta Hunter builds folks have been having (moderate) success with this expansion.

Things I've been exploring so far:

• Various types of Quest Hunter which still seems viable
• Have had moderate success with a taunt heavy Control deck centered around N'zoth + Jewel of N'Zoth
• Failed miserably at getting Spell Hunter off the ground featuring Jepetto Joybuzz + Malygos, Yogg, and C'thun...both a highlander version and a more robust duplicate deck 
• Also haven't had much success getting a Maxima Blastenheimer + Darkmoon Tonk deck to work with any consistency
• Oh, and I've tried out the decks from Mark McKz on this site and they were fun combos to try to pull off :) 

Has anyone had success with these archetypes or anything else off-meta like Highlander Beast Hunter, Corrupt (Y'shaaraj) Hunter, Dragon Hunter, etc.?  Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, 

I'm pretty sure, that already other player came up with that idea. 
It's quite likely, there is already another thread with the exact same thing. Sorry, but I didn't find it. 

Here is the idea: 
We will start our own league of hearthstone. We want to spice things up, because we are tired of grinding.

It's a wild league but with banned cards. Probably around 20 cards, for each class are banned. We are aiming towards the standard decks of those classes. We basically just take the top % of played card of each class in each category. 

That's why I have 2 questions:
- Do you guys have any experience with something like this?
- Does anybody want to join us on our first try. Starting in January next year. 

Cheers,
Drcool

Now druid is one of my favorite classes, and i enjoy playing control/combo. But this just makes it so boring and unfun to watch and play. Just to mention it's the same with every Aviana-Kun the Forgotten King deck. Draw a bunch of shit with Juicy Psychmelon, play Jepetto Joybuzz, win the game against your priest opponent who has an autofill deck, just installed hearthstone and hasn't played a single minion all game and by the way he's only on 6 mana. It's not interesting. Especially since druid has so many options for combos. 

I still remember danehs' kael'thas malygos druid.

Genuine question for those who have played the Garrosh solo adventure and done the Jaina fight. For Thereamore, the fight is basically the same as in Jaina's chapter in the first book of heros story. Main diffrence is that you switch sides using Garrosh's hero power to destroy the gates. The voice lines are very much the same, although with a few small additions. Overall, do you consider this to be clever as we see the same scenario from the other side, or a cheap reuse of assets? Perhaps both somehow? I'm undecided myself, so I'm curious to see what people think.

Also, additional question, How many of you think the warrior pack is worth buying now that we have more skins in the game overall? 

I just got 4 packs (championship Jarla packs?) and 2x50 gold (compensation for levels 27&30?)

Did you get anything?

The last patch has just exacerbated what I think was the biggest annoyance with battlegrounds: the timer is too short! It really limits the plays you're able to make during your turn. The latest patch introduces prizes that you have to pick from, leaving you with even less time to make your play.

I say the minimum time for the recruitment phase in Battlegrounds should be extended by 5 or 10 seconds. What do you think?

Hello,

in the start of hearthstone there were secret quests to archieve wich one give us golds or special cards.

For exemple:

Get all murlocs: recieve the legendary neutral murloc

Same for pirates and recieve the parrot

Get all cards from basic set and gain 100 golds.

Does this still exists? I'm asking because a friend started playing so, if it does i will tell him but if not its not useful to talk about it. And its fun to know that secrets quests still exists, it may be challenging for some.

Thanks !

So what is everyone experiencing after the 'Apology Patch'?

I've seen a ton of control warlocks.  I don't think Demon Hunter was killed off, but I guess the perception is that people believe it was killed, cause I haven't seen a single DH since the patch hit.  A bunch of druids, warlocks, and paladins, oh and shaman.

Really enjoying this new patch. Things have been very mixed up and I love the approach to keeping things fresh like this.

Y Shaarj is a mistake. Even at 0 Mana it's debatable because of space. Not adding more seconds to decide prizes is a pain in the butt too. You can sometimes find yourself debating and goodbye turn. Well that will get better with time.

Loving the new 'taunt tribe'. The guy who gets buffs is not to be overlooked. 

Patches is playable again!! A nice consolation for losing Gala.. maybe bring him back with Millhouses +1 to tavern tiers..?

Great patch, Battlegrounds Team.

So simple story really I had a great board in battlegrounds today but I was cheated out of first place not by cheesy divine poison or anything but by the game literally not letting me even fight for first.

For context I had (69/72) cave hydra, (48/44) scallywag, two gold mini rags (54/55) and (34/37) accordingly, (6/10) amalgam on, (59/61) amalgamate I stole from the curator at the start and a (46/127) rock guy.

So I was Rafaam with this strong board with 2 foes left I beat one guy and then the game ended with Al'akir still alive. The game did go on for some time so maybe we just hit the turn cap or something because it lasted long enough for me to get two tier six prizes (all that glitters which was used on mini rag and throw the bone which was used on hydra).

So I'm just trying to wrap my head around why I didn't get a final fight for first with Al'akir anyone have any ideas?

I may just be a negative nancy here but the balance changes seem to not do anything to the mode other than remove some high rolls (and kill rogue for some reason). Demon Hunter in Duels wasn't overpowered because of the treasures (although they did contribute) but rather because the Outlander Heropower is just plain overpowered and abusable in that class. In general it feels like every class has one good deck and that is the deck you will face, few exceptions apply. You run into Hunter, it will be Deathrattle. You run into warlock, it will be discard with C'thun and killmox (yeah I know kilmox will be nerfed but it will be run nontheless). The hero powers just kind of decide how you play the game and there is very little you can do to change it due to the limited card pool.

Not to mention how far apart the power level of treasures are. There are the ones that actively reduce the cost of your cards or give them rush while others barely do a thing (how is "make your weapons cost 1 less" a treasure?).

And then there is the whole issue of chain-queuing into the same person multiple times.

I don't know, I love the mode but after a few games it feels extremly same-y where even standart feels more versatile. Maybe that will change once all the hero powers and treasures are revealed but so far it just plays like an elaborate tavern brawl.

Competition Theme: Original Character, Do Not Steal

It's time to revisit some old favourites that have rotated to Wild and give them a brand new twist!

• You must create a Legendary minion for a Hearthstone Original Character not in Standard
  • Any character that started in Hearthstone counts, including those that eventually made their way into WoW
  • Your character must have been in Standard at some point - adventure characters don't count!

Sothis wants us to celebrate some of the creative new characters introduced in previous Hearthstone expansions - let's get Wild!

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

The once decaying region of Westfall is now flooded with people of all sorts and a large stream of stagecoaches that travels busily around the land. The reason? Gold, of course!

This sudden gold rush has attracted a lot of greedy visitors, including some gun-wielding outlaws. This is something the authorities of Stormwind cannot tolerate, so they have sent their fastest gunslingers to serve as sheriffs and deputies. Introducing the new keyword...

This keyword is a combination of MtG's First Strike and Ranged, which I translated into Hearthstone the best I could. The expansion itself is largely inspired by the board game Bang!, combined with Mean Streets of Gatgetzan's motto of taking a WoW location and combining it with a theme that wouldn't fit Azeroth at first glance.

My name is Rog and I'm a content creator currently playing a lot of Hearthstone! I'm currently enjoying Standard ranked but also love the new duels mode.

I try to stream every night from 8pm GMT (I'm based in Dublin, Ireland) on Twitch. I'm also currently trying to produce 2 edited deck highlight vids a week on Youtube (live at 6pm GMT)

Wow, just wow. This deck is unbelievably good. It has it all, silences, board clears, burst damage, targeted removal, healing. I actually did a 30 damage OTK w/Il'gynoth. Most difficult match ups were Libram Paladin and Control Warrior everything else seemed easy. 

Edit: Forgot to mention, I played this deck from Diamond 10 (no stars) to legend.

Hey, just today I´ve noticed that my Samsung Galaxy cardback from logging to Samsung device is missing. I though it´s bug on my side, but I´ve tried to check my alt account and it´s gone from there too. Restarting game doesn´t work. Is anyone else having this issue? Is it a known bug or should I contact support?

P.S. I know it´s not a big deal, I don´t use it that much, but I hate having my earned cardbacks vanish from my collection for no reason :/

While we're at it complaining about all the stuff Blizzard has messed up over the years, I'd like to add my own little piece to the pile: Hero Power borders.

It really is beyond me how they can offer new Hero skins on a regular basis without giving us a platinum / diamond / whatever Hero Power border for 1.000 wins.

Lots of players have invested incredible amounts of time to reach that mark and thus by all means earned their bragging rights. So why is it so hard to do the same effing thing as they do at 500 wins and give us a new Hero Power border on top of the in some cases horrible portrait? I am very proud of my 1.000 Hunter wins, but I'd very much prefer to play with Sylvanas than dumb face Rexxar.

So yeah, this is a minor issue for most players, but I'd really like to have a 1.000 wins Hero Power border.

Azeroth has long been in a great war between two major factions, the Horde and the Alliance. In recent years things have escalated to where many in Azeroth can no longer survive. They call upon Netherspite and Chronormu to create a portal to a new land, away from the conflict. That is where they find Méa. A land rich with wildlife and resources, where the water gives many soothsaying powers.

This is my first 135+ card expansion which I finished a while ago, but recently went under some maintenance as I wasn't happy with a decent number of the cards. Most of the art used in this expansion is from the card game Faeria, which has an excellent concept, but bad monetary system.

The new keyword introduced in this expansion is Foresee:

The cards would show up in a discover-like interface, where the button normally used to temporarily hide the cards would stop showing them to you.

Not a new concept in customhearthstone, but I feel the way it has been used has been to the fullest. Note: Dormant and Reborn are both used in this expansion.

I want to say a big thank you to many people who helped make this expansion, Steli, Wass, Spaceturtle and Aflag are but a few.

Although this was mostly a solo project where I created 141/145 cards, Aflag was the creator of: Jaspar, Exploration, Sky Surveyor and Chief Shonaka.

So here are the 145 cards, feedback would be appreciated and anything you think could be improved! (Included in this expansion is my favourite custom card that I've made, bet you won't be able to guess which it is!) For reference this expansion was technically finished first before AoO.
