Caesar (4)3 hours ago Before playing I wondered what was up with that meme (my friends got me into hs back in the day)...then I played the tutorial ahah
DustenStein (4.1)4 hours ago Oh haha. I thought it came from the community and was just kind of accepted as fact
TheArcanist (4.3)4 hours ago Yeah, that's what started the whole meme.
DustenStein (4.1)5 hours ago Did- did they change the flavour text for Boulderfist or was it always "ME HAVE GOOD STATS FOR THE COST"?
DustenStein (4.1)20 hours ago Pleeeaaase, Blizzard, give us an expansion called Blingtron's Lootapalooza. That's the most fun one out of all of them to say
Lucious (4)20 hours ago @keyvnn9 Sure, but did you know Kobolds and Catacombs was originally meant to be Blingtron's Lootapalooza?
Kapiork21 hours ago @Poondaedalin According to Hearthstone Wiki (and Dean Ayala's Twitter), Boom's Scheme was actually supposed to have the current Hagatha's Scheme's effect, but they changed it because they feared Warrior would have too much AoE, while Shaman had too little AoE.
Poondaedalin (4)22 hours ago Yep! The Keyword was also originally going to be Ghostly. Cards with that Keyword would discard themselves at the end of the turn. As well as that, Dr. Boom’s Scheme was originally going to do something Bomb-related (likely “Shuffle *1* Bomb into your opponent’s deck”), but it was changed last-minute due to balance concerns.
keyvnn9 (3.9)22 hours ago Did you know that The Witchwood was originally going to be a different Worgen based expansion Murder on the Gilnean Express?
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago Useless HS facts:
Did you know that in Battlegrounds, Bigglesworth and Maiev use the same art for their Hero Power? It's a different part, yes, but the art is the same.
Caesar (4)1 day ago Kazakus and a few good mercenaries
Btw, isn't it funny that Kazakus is looking for a few good mercenaries...but more than half of them are 4 mana? I'm not surprised he keeps looking
Gothe (4.2)1 day ago oh that was three... subtract 2 of your choosing
Gothe (4.2)1 day ago new cards, a new tribe, a battlepass reset
keyvnn9 (3.9)1 day ago Let’s try to be positive
What’s do yall think is one good thing this expansion/rotation gave us?
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago (I hope that wasn't too much spam )
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago I also have a wild Deathrattle Hunter, Spell Hunter, Big Spell Druid and a Kingsbane Rogue (the least crazy of the bunch)
If anyone is interested, check out the pinned Discord server
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago 4: Jesus, Take the Wheel Rogue
Burgle Quest Rogue using Tess, both Yoggs and Spirit of the Shark. Super goofy. It works though, trust me
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago 3: Supreme Warlock
The by far most expensive one, recommended only if you have the parts. Using supreme deathrattles, plot twist, Augmented Elekk, Betrug and Dorian, you get wide boards of terrifying deathrattles. Healing is good too. Only thing that is lacking is early game but oh well
AAEBAfqUAwqODsLxAo+CA4mdA+ujA9a5A+6/A4/OA/bjA 5PkAwro5wL1gAPalgPamwOhoQPrrAO/uQPEuQOs1APG3g MA
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago 2:Galakrond-C'Thun, the Shattered-Rush-Handbuff Warrior;
Stage Dive, Town Crier and Corsair's Cache tutor your Invokers as well as some other just as useful stuff. The draw in that deck is crazy. Using Cutting Class, Outrider's Axe, Anchorman and Galakrond, you empty your deck very quickly, drawing your parts of C'Thun quite consistently. It's not a control deck (not quite aggro either) so often you just want to
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago 1: Even Mage
A wild even hero power mage deck, revolving around Wildfire, Ice Walker and Coldarra Drake. With Vargoth, you can duplicate your Wildfires, getting some Flamestrike-power Fireblasts
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago Well, I already put them on Discord but I'll just... hold on
Caesar (4)1 day ago I don't mind as long as there's a deck name too and it's not a thousand codes
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago I have some Deck Codes to deposit. May I do it here or should I go litter in a special discord channel ?
Caesar (4)1 day ago And most importantly, please try to forget about ranks and laugh at random bs lol, losing doesn't mean you're bad.
(wow I speak a lot sry everyone )
Caesar (4)1 day ago I'm in crazy love with Miracle Rogue though; if you want to try it it's a blast, just very tricky so it might take some time to figure out, but if you're up for a challenge I recommend it (I play my list so it might not be popular, it has 2xSwashburglars, 1 Guardian Augmerchant and 1 Pen Flinger; no Wandmakers nor Neophytes...the rest is pretty standard)
About uninteractiveness I also think it's partially true...the games are changing to being played from hand a lot more, so a good part of interaction has moved to prediction and figuring out what the opponent is holding, that can help with making games feel a bit better and immersive. But hand reading isn't easy if you want to relax so don't do it xD, but the easy part is figuring out what is *not* in their hand (they didn't play a card when it was clearly the perfect option: they probably don't have it).
Caesar (4)1 day ago Mhmhmh if you don't like the meta but like the game, you could try a deep dive in Arena if you haven't already (provided you can repay the fee or a part of it...then you might even net profit)
As for standard decks, I also like to build my decks and yeah this season I was so excited about Watch Post Rogue and it was all figured out before I could even try it myself...after that, I struggled to make a decent off meta deck (just a Mage with Primordial Protector and Grand Finale, but that got boring pretty quickly).
keyvnn9 (3.9)1 day ago Had a lot of fun with a Kazakus Priest deck, but havent played it since the Hysteria/Mankrik nerfs hit it
keyvnn9 (3.9)1 day ago Sometimes good decks are fun. I really liked Whirlikick Rogue, but I probably wouldnt like something like Secret Paladin as much
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago I have some fun and bad deck codes for you. Playing for ranks with top tier decks becomes very difficult to enjoy in shitty metas
TheArcanist (4.3)1 day ago It's impossible for me not to care about ratings and ranks. Especially when I'm playing a top tier deck and still losing ranks, I feel like shit since this shows I play badly.
Patrick0007 (3.8)1 day ago Arcanist if you don't like current meta, you should try Arena. Sure, it is based on luck while creating a deck but you won't encounter any OTK turn 4 mages or Paladins with 10 secrets. Also, since it costs money, there is always "a feel of andrealine"
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago The most important thing is to not care about ratings, ranks and bs like that. Play for fun
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago But yeah, the meta stinks shit
DustenStein (4.1)1 day ago I also have been taking big breaks from ranked for pretty similar reasons. Fun decks are almost entirely dead. I've been playing more and more duels, Battlegrounds and single-player adventures instead. I set out to do the impossible things: Completing Galakrond's Awakening in hardcore and beating Lich Boy with all 9 (sorry DH) classes. I've been digging around Hearthstone's wiki to find out the coolest passive and active treasures for Duels, the craziest Hero Power, Signature and Passive Treasure combinations for Tombs of Terror, and I'm still trying to meet the Secret Encounter in Kirin Tor Citadel.
I made myself two new homebrew Ranked decks yesterday, after my long break which are C'Thun, Galakrond, Handbuff, Rush Warrior and Even Hero Power Mage, both wild.
Also, idk how you do it, but when I play HS, I don't only play HS but almost always have a podcast, a series or a YT playlist sitting in front of me.
TheArcanist (4.3)1 day ago I know this sounds like your typical rant thread on Hearthpwn and I'm probably boring. It's just that one of my only stress relievers and coping mechanisms is gone. I really don't want to quit, but at the same time I might have to, at least for now, since this game is breaking me. Sorry for bothering you, but I just had to tell someone.
TheArcanist (4.3)1 day ago The meta is the most uninteractive one I remember. You feel like you either get rushed down with no counterplay, get everything removed effortlessly, or die to a ridiculous highroll. I feel like playing a spectator simulator, my plays don't matter, and games are decided on turn 1. Wanted to try Wild to get out of this meta - nah, OTKs on turn 4 are definitely fun. I was hoping for the nerfs to do something, but they didn't. I dropped ~5000 ranks mostly by autoconceding to Mages who played a Flow on 1-2.
TheArcanist (4.3)1 day ago Hearthstone has always been a way to relieve stress for me. Life has been really tough recently and this week my level of stress was over the roof (schools reopening, family conflict and a minor surgery on top of that). I tried to play Hearthstone more than usual to at least feel a bit better... and it got even worse.
TheArcanist (4.3)1 day ago I've been playing this game for more than 4 years now and it's been my absolutely favorite game alongside Minecraft. I've spent ridiculous amounts of money on it. I've never thought of quitting, the game has always been fun, even during some really bad meta periods like the release of Demon Hunter. Until now.
TheArcanist (4.3)1 day ago I have to say, I've never been closer to quitting Hearthstone than now.
keyvnn9 (3.9)3 days ago I never got top 4 since they added Quilboar. Mostly because I didnt play at all because I was scared
DustenStein (4.1)3 days ago Oh, I see. Luck is quite important nowadays (unfortunately)
Kapiork3 days ago I just suck and have bad luck, I guess. I didn't play that much, too.
DustenStein (4.1)3 days ago Really? What happened then haha. Chargla, Agamaggan, Bonker and Dynamic Duo (did I get the names right?) are extremely busted together. Even the low-Tier stuff is strong as heck
Kapiork3 days ago I never got 1st place with Quillboar. :(
Caesar (4)3 days ago I'm actually disappointed lol...why nerf Spring Water instead of Flow?! (the actual highroll card)
Also sad for Crabrider...poor boy could go to 3 Health but he said goodbye to Windfury instead
But I love the changes to:
First Day (I hated that efficent randomness with a passion xD), Hysteria, Angry green man, Razorboar , Tidal Surge and Shieldmaiden.
And maybe Elemental controllish Shaman is decent?
Didn't play much BG lately so idk
Gosha305 (4.2)3 days ago I'm kinda disappointed they didn't make any Battlegrounds buffs since heroes like Illidan, Shudderwock or Brann are laughably weak and feel absolutely awful to play.
The nerfs are nice though. No more "play Quilboars or lose" meta.
DustenStein (4.1)3 days ago @Arcanist yeah. Now he is just a funny little octopus
DustenStein (4.1)3 days ago Paladin is getting assassinated. Will our boy Uther dodge those pesky kids again?
Tidal Surge 3 mana BOYS! What?! That's super good
The Deck of Chaos buff we all wanted is coming too!
N'Zoth is somehow more of a joke now than he was before.
I called it! Bonker was nerfed to only give you one Blood Gem. Was kinda obvious but I'll still take it.
............................................. ..............................
Interesting how they are buffing cards. It's a very cool thing to do. Spicing up "worthless" cards
TheArcanist (4.3)3 days ago They should have just made N'Zoth give everything he summons Rush or even like Taunt.
Deck of Lunacy, Deck of Wonders: Very delayed because they affect your deck
Yoggs and box: Very delayed because they cost 10
Ysera, Unleashed: Very delayed because it costs 9 and only affects your deck
The only cards in the game less than 10 mana that cast random spells of random cost are Trick Totem (Cost restricted), Servant of Yogg-Saron (Cost restricted), and Runespear (Restricted by class and costs 8)
The only cards that summon random minions of random Cost are Skyfin+Murloc Knight (restricted to weak Murloc tribe), Bane of Doom+Ram Wrangler (very conditional to have any good effect), and Barrens Stablehand (costs 7). Notice none of these can trigger before turn 5 without mana cheat, and they all need extra steps except Stablehand. Also all tribe restricted.
Only cards that equip random weapons of random Cost: Blingtron and Malkorok. There’s not as much weapon variance, but they were still made to be safely bad
Patrick0007 (3.8)3 days ago Following the recent buffs...
DustenStein (4.1)4 days ago The link for Custom Hearthstone discord:
DustenStein (4.1)4 days ago https://discord.gg/bDcJ2yTERJ
CakeIsGood4 days ago @TheArcanist do you Got a link to the custom hearthstone discord?
DustenStein (4.1)4 days ago And if you want some forbidden advice from me, check out MtG's art. It's often very good
TheArcanist (4.3)4 days ago I use ArtStation, the old WoW TCG (bad quality, but I love the style) and CustomHearthstone’s discord.
CakeIsGood4 days ago Where to find the best artwork to make cool cards?
TheArcanist (4.3)4 days ago OK, I forgot why I hate that subreddit. People post very bad designed cards and when I try to tell them why they are bad, they downvote me and spam bad arguments like comparing a 4 mana 'summon a random minion' to Deck of Lunacy and Yogg.
Gosha305 (4.2)4 days ago Yeah, that post having so many upvotes (or even existing) annoys me to no end. It's just so fucking stupid.
I guess people take it as some form of metaphor for how RNG hearthstone is, but even that's dumb.
But then, I've seen people argue in favor of way stupider shit on r/customhs...
TheArcanist (4.3)4 days ago Hi guys, I have a question: do you think a 4 mana 'Summon a random minion' card would be balanced? Absolutely not, right? Cause I can't convince some people in r/customhearthstone...
Caesar (4)5 days ago Yeah the deck is alright, but 75% seems too much. Looking at the shared link, the sample size is quite small, that probably altered the result (I have no graduation in statistics but I see other decks have thousands of games for wild and an order of magnitued more in standard so I'd trust those numbers more ahah).
Also, the easily accessible stats from hsreplay are across all ranks, which means easy decks (aggro Murlocs xD) or Secrets get a big boost in wr. Maybe that one deck is being played mostly in a specific rank's meta where it's really good
DustenStein (4.1)5 days ago Well, them's the facts. Different sites have different statistics so it is very likely that the stats from wherever you get your stats from are slightly different than where I do.
Murloc Shaman is alright in my experience. Haven't played it but I can say that it's quite aggressive and sturdy with all those +2/+2 buffs. Flurgl is just what makes it also able to defend itself. 1-3 Health minions offer no defense and by the time you'd be able to play better Taunts, the Murlocs will have already swarmed you
keyvnn9 (3.9)5 days ago Something just tells me that Murloc Shaman doesnt have a 75% winrate
DustenStein (4.1)5 days ago I usually look here. It's maybe not the best way buuuut I don't care that much
https://hsreplay.net/decks/#gameType=RANKED_W ILD&sortBy=winrate
And indeed, Handbuff Paladin seems to be doing well
Caesar (4)5 days ago Hand buff Paladin is also up there (it's great vs Shaman thanks to Samuro).
And also Darkglare, Murloc Shaman, apm Mage, Secret Mage, Raza Priest, (Kingsbane?)
As for "the best" deck it depends on the ranks
DustenStein (4.1)5 days ago @keyvnn where did you get that from? Top 2 are Murloc Shaman and Secret Mage
LordStormwind5 days ago no, from gallery. I didn't expect it to get int but it did. It had 3.5 score.
Mzop (3.9)5 days ago gallery or que? its most likely it got too low of a rating and got voided. its happened to me a bunch of times.
LordStormwind5 days ago guys, is it common that cards get deleted from gallery? Cuz mine was and there was nothing about it by the rules.
keyvnn9 (3.9)5 days ago PSA: The best deck in Wild uses Smuggler’s Run, Grimestreet Outfitter, Argent Horserider, and Chillblade Champion
DustenStein (4.1)5 days ago Is it a bug or did they change it that the Lightning Bolts from Tempest's Fury in Duels aren't affected by Spell Damage? It used to work, I'm sure
DustenStein (4.1)6 days ago That's a nice one. I got it last time so I'll be taking shaman this time
TheArcanist (4.3)1 week ago @DustenStein it was changed quite a while ago as far as I remember. Before it was changed, I played a meme Blackguard deck and I remember destroying a full board of tokens by repeatedly swinging with a Truesilver Champion, healing a bunch and not even losing Durability.
DustenStein (4.1)1 week ago GUYS!!! Important news: When a target dies as you are attacking it with you hero, you no longer get your attack back!! Just happened to me in duels. I attacked enemy face, their misdirection triggered, changed the target to my Sigil Runner, then their Explosive Trap triggered, killing said Sigil Runner, canceling my attack but not taking any durability from my weapon!
Kapiork1 week ago I saw one video about one of the locks. I understood nothing.
Caesar (4)1 week ago True, solving all of them alone is close to impossible.
I also figured out Rokara, then tried Scabbs and only noticed that the key attack goes to the attack of it's target +1 after attacking...but how the heck do the locks change?!?! Then I looked it up and gave up on the others ahahah
DustenStein (4.1)1 week ago And I'm proud to admit, I figured out Rokara completely on my own :)
I got the rules from Regis, paused the video, and attempted to do it myself
DustenStein (4.1)1 week ago I tried the Travish one myself at first because the rules were quite simple. Failed miserably. I later checked out the step-by-step guide on how to beat it and holy shit it's long. I only had the first trade right
TheArcanist (4.3)1 week ago The Rokara is the only one intuitive one if you realize what's going on. I have absolutely no idea what algorythm is used for the Scabbs one. The Guff is a simple labirynth, but really tough to figure out in-game. The Tavish puzzle has just so many combinations; I believe it could easily be solved by a computer.

OK, I forgot why I hate that subreddit. People post very bad designed cards and when I try to tell them why they are bad, they downvote me and spam bad arguments like comparing a 4 mana 'summon a random minion' to Deck of Lunacy and Yogg.
Yeah, that post having so many upvotes (or even existing) annoys me to no end. It's just so fucking stupid.
I guess people take it as some form of metaphor for how RNG hearthstone is, but even that's dumb.
But then, I've seen people argue in favor of way stupider shit on r/customhs...
Hi guys, I have a question: do you think a 4 mana 'Summon a random minion' card would be balanced? Absolutely not, right? Cause I can't convince some people in r/customhearthstone...

Like, hsreplay always has inflated winrates, but that’s maybe 15% higher than a Hearthstone deck
For context, 75% winrate is UNGODLYLY high
Greetings
hi
Hello everybody
Yeah the deck is alright, but 75% seems too much. Looking at the shared link, the sample size is quite small, that probably altered the result (I have no graduation in statistics but I see other decks have thousands of games for wild and an order of magnitued more in standard so I'd trust those numbers more ahah).
Also, the easily accessible stats from hsreplay are across all ranks, which means easy decks (aggro Murlocs xD) or Secrets get a big boost in wr. Maybe that one deck is being played mostly in a specific rank's meta where it's really good
Well, them's the facts. Different sites have different statistics so it is very likely that the stats from wherever you get your stats from are slightly different than where I do.
Murloc Shaman is alright in my experience. Haven't played it but I can say that it's quite aggressive and sturdy with all those +2/+2 buffs. Flurgl is just what makes it also able to defend itself. 1-3 Health minions offer no defense and by the time you'd be able to play better Taunts, the Murlocs will have already swarmed you
Something just tells me that Murloc Shaman doesnt have a 75% winrate
I usually look here. It's maybe not the best way buuuut I don't care that much

ILD&sortBy=winrate
And indeed, Handbuff Paladin seems to be doing well
Interesting
Hand buff Paladin is also up there (it's great vs Shaman thanks to Samuro).
And also Darkglare, Murloc Shaman, apm Mage, Secret Mage, Raza Priest, (Kingsbane?)
As for "the best" deck it depends on the ranks
@keyvnn where did you get that from? Top 2 are Murloc Shaman and Secret Mage
no, from gallery. I didn't expect it to get int but it did. It had 3.5 score.
gallery or que? its most likely it got too low of a rating and got voided. its happened to me a bunch of times.
guys, is it common that cards get deleted from gallery? Cuz mine was and there was nothing about it by the rules.
PSA: The best deck in Wild uses Smuggler’s Run, Grimestreet Outfitter, Argent Horserider, and Chillblade Champion
Is it a bug or did they change it that the Lightning Bolts from Tempest's Fury in Duels aren't affected by Spell Damage? It used to work, I'm sure
That's a nice one. I got it last time so I'll be taking shaman this time
congratz
Level 100 let's go! Went for the Warrior skin this time. Which one are you picking this expansion?
he did it
Impossible.
the mad man, he actually did it, he updated the expansions
It looks very very nice indeed
Expansions on cards are accurate now!
And the icons are nice too
I completed the ??? achievement yesterday. It was annoying!
Does work on minions still or is it completely gone?
Oh...
@DustenStein it was changed quite a while ago as far as I remember. Before it was changed, I played a meme Blackguard deck and I remember destroying a full board of tokens by repeatedly swinging with a Truesilver Champion, healing a bunch and not even losing Durability.
GUYS!!! Important news: When a target dies as you are attacking it with you hero, you no longer get your attack back!! Just happened to me in duels. I attacked enemy face, their misdirection triggered, changed the target to my Sigil Runner, then their Explosive Trap triggered, killing said Sigil Runner, canceling my attack but not taking any durability from my weapon!
I saw one video about one of the locks. I understood nothing.
True, solving all of them alone is close to impossible.
I also figured out Rokara, then tried Scabbs and only noticed that the key attack goes to the attack of it's target +1 after attacking...but how the heck do the locks change?!?! Then I looked it up and gave up on the others ahahah
And I'm proud to admit, I figured out Rokara completely on my own :)
I got the rules from Regis, paused the video, and attempted to do it myself
I tried the Travish one myself at first because the rules were quite simple. Failed miserably. I later checked out the step-by-step guide on how to beat it and holy shit it's long. I only had the first trade right
The Rokara is the only one intuitive one if you realize what's going on. I have absolutely no idea what algorythm is used for the Scabbs one. The Guff is a simple labirynth, but really tough to figure out in-game. The Tavish puzzle has just so many combinations; I believe it could easily be solved by a computer.
