Whoa! It's been something crazy like 8 months since we removed decks from the homepage of Out of Cards. Today, that changes.
New Features
Homepage Decks Widget
- Quite possibly the most complicated system we have on the site so far.
- Here's how it works:
- The current "game" that you have active is what decks will display by default.
- Decks will show, by default, "Week" timeframe and "Hot" sorting with only decks that include a written guide.
- Here's the planned update for Friday:
- Adding the ability to customize your defaults.
- Did you look at some Runeterra news but you only want to see Hearthstone decks? No problem.
- Do you want to default to Hearthstone Wild Paladin decks? You go!
- All the sorting options available now will be able to be saved as your own preferences.
- Adding the ability to customize your defaults.
- Dev Notes
- I wanted a more visual approach with icons for Classes and Regions for their respective games, but the interesting issues with cross-platform and cross-device features were prohibitive. Also, Demon Hunter can rot in hell for having such a long name that is tough to design around. I believe it looks cleaner without them all out in the open, at the sacrifice of extra clicks if you want to quickly check multiple classes/regions out. This might be updated in the future to make class selections easier.
- And on the note of class selections, I already know a request is going to be written somewhere that asks we allow you to customize the filters with something such as "Paladin and Druid decks". This might be a feature enhancement down the line. I'm not making any promises right now though.
Changes
Hearthstone
- Collection Manager now has a "bulk remove" button.
- Hit save after using bulk remove to update your collection on the site.
- This is an easy way to reset your collection back to square one, or reverse an accidental "bulk adds".

- Corrected dropdowns available in the Collection Manager.
