Off-topic

I joined your stream last night but I could not say anything in chat.  I saw the rules about being awesome and whatnot then clicked "Ok I got it".  I still couldnt say anything.  I just wanted to let you know something weird was going on.

For those out of the loop, Hearthpwn was re-acquisitioned by a group called Magic Find. They claim to keep the site running the same way it did before and "provide only the best that we can offer". According to my knowledge, Flux was offered a role in the reconstruction of the website, and declined the offer. The most common response to this is "FUCK YEAH! I love this site, thanks for keeping it running!", followed by "We had it great back then, now it's controlled by people we don't know. I'm off to Out Of Cards".

In my opinion, I'd probably use both. I too have a special attachment towards the old Hearthpwn crew, and going back to Hearthpwn without then is like a Hearthstone without Ben Brode. However, twice the websites means twice the forum posts, twice the decklist sharing, twice the trolling and twice the discussion. I don't know, I just wanted to get other peoples' opinions about this. Please don't take this as an aggression, I am not disapproving of Magic Find or their actions in any way; on the contrary I think it's great that they bite the bullet and keep Hearthpwn running. I just don't have anybody in my friends circle that has any interest in Hearthstone or it's forums.

So basically Hearthpwn is warning people now.

EDIT 16-6: added image.

Hi everyone,

After hearing the news of HP's about-face regarding its shutdown I've decided to make the move over here permanently.

However, my main method for remembering community members has always been by their Avatar and I see a number of people still rocking the Derpicorn at the moment.  So how about we start a thread where anyone looking for a new Avatar but stumbling on ideas can leave a comment asking for suggestions?!

Feel free to leave as much or as little guidance on what you'd like to see in the image (HS related, username related, etc.) and don't be afraid to ask for original works if people have the ability (I crop a mean face in MS Paint, just saying ;P ). 

As an FYI, here's a link to the Avatar change page.

Looking forward to seeing y'all in the forums!

An announcement was made that other site was purchased by another entity that has taken over ownership now. 
What I liked is the backing of the mods and, of course, Flux. 90% were in support of Flux and the Mods and even this site...not that they are here and still posting there : / Curious as to everyone's thoughts about that site not closing and new ownership taking the helm of the ship.

Your gamertag, nickname, whatever you want to call it. How did you land on yours?

Mine started out as a name for my main character in WoW. Warangel just seemed like an appropriate name for a retribution paladin. From there it became the name I use for pretty much all my gaming endeavors.

By now, everyone and their mother knows about hearthpwn's fate. So, most of us have migrated here, to out of cards. 

At first, the site seemed mediocre at best; I was having trouble scrolling down and using some features, but it is getting better every day.

Keep it up, moderators, you guys are doing great. I hope this site grows to the size of hearthpwn, and beyond!

I almost like this site even more than hearthpwn, for a few reasons:

1) No pop up ads. It has gotten so bad recently on hearthpwn, that I can barely do anything before I become a 'SUPER LUCKY WINNER!!!' You have no idea how good it feels to be able to browse forever on this site without stupid things coming up!

2) works MUCH better on mobile. If I am ever using this site or hearthpwn, I am 99% of the time on my phone, whether I be on my commute, or just waiting for something to happen. On hearthpwn, once in a while, I would be looking at people's profiles out of pure curiousity, and I would accidentally hit the 'collection' button. See, my phone can't handle this massive collection being loaded, and I'd often have to close the tab because it would freeze trying to load the collection. Thank God there's no innkeeper on this site :)

Well I apologise for writing a book, but I really wanted to voice my opinion on this new site. Keep up the good work guys, and long live Out of Cards!

Good luck to the moderators with the new site! Hope it will one day be a worthy successor to the previous site, cheers!

Greetings everyone I think most of you are aware how Artifact has become a meme at this point but many of us were at least interested in the game before and a little after its release. I can say I have played card games quite a bit for over 15 years of life; around half of my life. This was maybe the first card game that was heavily hyped that I knew was going to fail within 3 days of playing the game. After playing all the modes and paying close attention to card design I quickly realized that this game was going to be a disaster and I should sell my cards.

Within the first 3 days I sold most of my expensive cards I got from my packs and made my money back and more. I happened to open Axe and a few others. People were thinking it was going to be the new biggest thing and playing the market. With my card game experience I knew it was going to fail flat on the floor. Many people think it failed because Valve got greedy and charged 20 dollars and having no way to earn more packs in game unless you pay real money. But this is far from the truth and had nothing to do with why it failed.

1. People complain about RNG in Hearthstone but Artifact has the most RNG than any card game I have ever experienced. The direction your minions are attacking, the boards your minions show up on, the items listed in the store. I knew right away this was a huge problem in its design.

2. The 3 board system is a failure. The 3 boards add NOTHING to the gameplay value and is simply bloat to the game. Most games have so much RNG that 2 boards become almost irreverent. RNG wins you one board, RNG screws you one board, and you only really invest in 1 board. Majority of your resources and time is mostly invested in 1 board while another board maybe gets 1 or 2 spells played on it per game. This is bloat of the worst kind and it doesn't make a better experience for anyone.

3. The game has the most simple card design every created. Lets take a game like Magic the Gathering, 1 color is able to do the job of many roles. For example RED is not simply aggro but could have great control cards or card advantage in different forms of play. Artifact is so stupidly simple every color basically has 1 mechanic. If you want this mechanic you have to play its color. If you want to generate lots of gold you need to play black, if you want to control you need to play Blue, with you want strong heroes you need to play Red etc.

4. This game was HEAVILY advertised for draft and not competitive constructed play. There isn't even a ladder on release. The problem with this is DRAFTING IS HORRIBLE due to the 2nd reason. The game is so simple and has such simple mechanics you don't draft for deck synergy. Where as Hearthstone Arena synergy is extremely important this game has no synergy of any kind. If you see a great card YOU PICK IT. If you see an AXE you pick it 100% of the time period.  This is the core reason the game failed. It's main advertised mode has maybe the worst drafting I have ever seen.

Please contribute your ideas on your experience with Artifact.

This is NOT a quest-trading thread.

Original thread on HearthPwn: https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/off-topic/general-chat/129874-game-name-another-card-that-has-the-same

The rules are simple: the user above you has a card, let's say it is Wisp. If they say (health), you must find a card that has the same health as Wisp does. If they say (attack), or (cost), you do the same, but for attack or cost respectively. You can also name a keyword or (part of) the effect, but try to only do this when there are cards with (a part of) the same effect, or else we'll get stuck. Also, for minions-weapons, health=durability.

So, now let's start with: Chillwind Yeti (attack)

Your task: find a card that has 4 attack.

1. Now that Hearthpwn shut down, what about Innkeeper? Will this site have a collection manager that can be synchronized with it?
2. Can deck codes be inserted in the deck builder?

Having noted that it is mentioned that discussion for other games is encouraged, and that there are others here who play and are interested in Magic: Arena, would it be possible to have a forum specifcally for the game somewhere on the site?

If I'm blind and there already is one, my apologies - it's early, I'm tired and my eyes are stinging, lol - I did go and have a look, but didn't see a specific forum for it other than this General Chat area, which is probably less useful for it.

:-)

Hey everyone! As we mourn the loss of HearthPwn, I've decided I don't want to see this game go. Although I joined in pretty late on the original thread, I had a lot of fun writing and guessing riddles.

For those who are new to this game, here's how it works:

I'll start by giving a riddle which describes a single specific card in Hearthstone (only collectible cards, no tokens or adventure exclusives). Then, the first person to correctly guess the card gets to come up with the next riddle! 

Now that the rules are out of the way, let's get started with something easy!

Five mana down the drain

Two cards in the hole

Who dare's summon me?

For you can't anymore

So with the announcement of HearthPWN leaving the spotlight, I'm assuming that Innkeeper is also going to be heading the way of the dodo.

With that in mind, does anyone have any advice on a similar app that can be used to monitor your deck as you play on the desktop app vs the mobile one?

for those of you who don't know, you can now customize your avatars!

and thanks to the mods for updating this so quickly.

Hello Fellow Stationers !

We have a New Forum, New Expansion, New Year but what we don't have ?

A Forum game here. Let's guess the next reveal.

Rules are simple, You just need to guess card's mana cost, class and rarity.

Also feel free to share the body and tag(if minion) and effect but you don't have to. Mana cost, class and Rarity is enough if you don't have any idea.




So First me, since the first card has been revealed I need to guess this one


Class: Neutral
Rarity: Rare
Mana Cost: 4

Extra: Has a "have x while damaged" effect (Old Enrage)

Sorry for my bad english

So, like a lot of people, questions are asked (mostly on pwn...). I don't know if you are allowed (for now?) to answer, if not feel free to delete this thread and i'll know, but questions are coming so I ask them:

- Why a new website?

- Why not a word of it on pwn ? If you are like, all fired from pwn and arent allowed to do advertising you are taking risks and it's weird, and if you are allowed to do so, it's weird that you don't do it (or maybe your servers cant hold too much for now)

- Is pwn going to live in addition to this one? (so much archievement over years)

- It feels like you are abandonning pwn, is something bad happening?

I think letting people in the blur is not cool since we dont know what we need to do and as an old member I also enjoy the fact that I have a lot of archievement, beginning from zero once again, I don't know, thats sad :(

came here from flux's signature. seems like some kind of curse insurgency

forum buttons are too big and they should be vertically organized

needs some lighter background colour somewhere

otherwise looks good 👌
