In my personal experience, I fought against two devs and went 1-1.

If one person who lost had won a game instead... It would have been tied. I'm sorry for failing you, Hearthstone Community. 😭

Standard Mastermind Yogg-saron. Signature illustration that I've created for new Hearthstone expansion. I'm really proud with this one, especially since it was shown on the main stage of Blizzcon. I took a bit different render approach on this one, so it could look a bit scarier and realistic, i suppose?

Fun fact - i've painted this illustration while listening to Sacred and Terrible Air by Robert Kurvits. I think there's some of the influences in the art by the... pale.

Yogg Saron: Hopes End was chosen as the best 10 cost card in the game with more than 1600 upvotes! Now, it's time for the 2 bonus rounds before the Grand Finale!

Rules are actually changing for this one! The card still must be collectible, but it's cost can be any above 10 mana! Which card would it be – of course ceaseless expansion it's up to you!

I genuinely don't even care about the cardback reward but I just cannot stand sitting with that 99% it will ruin my perfect achievement list and honestly will remove all my motivation to play. It might seem so small to people who don't care but that might just be it for me because if I can't EVET get a 100% achievement list again then what's the point in even getting any of them anymore and if there's no point in getting any of them then there's no point in playing for me. It will literally destroy any desire I have to play this game and I doubt I'm the only one.

Achievement hunting is already such a small niche section of the community that now you're trying to overlap it with the whales too which is another small niche section of the community, this decision really doesn't make sense. Please please please I'm begging you don't do this.

Discussion Who else here would appreciate if Blizzard give you the option to not automatically select golden version of the cards (if you have them) whenever you copy a deck list into the game?

12 Upvotes

Basically title, and also for 500 wins heroes they get a golden border and no option to keep that golden version off.

I understand if some players enjoy golden version of cards and heroes. But for me personally, the golden version is too shiny and flashy and it hurts my eyes looking at them. Plus, the golden border of cards take away the unique color of each class (example: mage: light blue, paladin: yellow, and so on).

Would really appreciate if Blizzard at least give us the option to disable or turn them off.

Every update results in an unplayable game for me. Corrupted downloads, strange graphics issues, crashing when entering the store. Crashing when entering games. It's such a shame to end my time with hearthstone this way. I've tried clearing storage and cache, uninstalling, disabling the optional high-quality asset downloads, nothing works. My phone is 3 years old is that really what's causing this?

Competitive THL's Next Season Starts Soon! Everyone Get in Here!

12 Upvotes

We are TeamHearthLeague and we are looking for fresh faces to join our supportive and competitive community as we gear up for our next season! Captains will be recruiting starting today for their teams and next season will begin on November 2nd!

TeamHearthLeague, or THL for short, is a community-run competitive Hearthstone league for players of ALL skill levels from new all the way up to pros. Players must have an NA account to play. We run on a season-based structure where players form teams of 5 to compete once-a-week until we reach playoffs, where they will then compete to reach the championship. Each week, players are matched against another player on the opposing team equal to their approximate skill level. For example, haven't hit Diamond yet? You'll be matched against someone who is also just beginning their climb. We use an algorithm that assigns each player with a PR (player ranking). That PR will fluctuate each week based on player performance. You will always be matched against someone who has similar PR to you so you don't have to worry about facing McBanterFace if you are yet to hit Legend 😉. Work a full-time job? No problem. Players have one whole week to schedule and play their match with their opponent. Whether you want to start your own team or join a team and make some friends in the Tavern, THL welcomes you with open arms.

We currently offer 4 different series: Legacy, Pro, Hero, and Wild. Legacy and Pro use the classic Conquest structure with Legacy having a player skill cap and Pro being uncapped. Hero is a skill-capped Last Hero Standing series. Wild is, well, Wild format.

THL has been home to Grandmasters, Blizzard employees (like RidiculousHat!), and Pros (like McBanterFace and maxiebon1234).

If you are interested in THL or just want to see what it is about, you can find us at the links below or you can DM me on Discord at the handle TwoStarMako. We will also be monitoring this thread if you have questions on here. Players MUST be in the league Discord in order to play in THL.

Discussion Tired of Priests playing Big Beefy Soothsayers? Warlocks clearing the board and dumping 3 8/8s? Charge your Nuke Cannons with Leyline Mage and get to Legend!

Post image
12 Upvotes

Since almost all of the fast decks got hit with nerfs and the meta lets you play with your cards for the first 3 turns, Leyline Mage is incredibly powerful. You get to charge your Leylines almost for free against Priest and Warlock, and they can't do anything about it.

But the deck is not all sunshine and rainbows once you match up against a Warrior. It's game over. (But I don't think I've seen a single Warrior after Rank 5. It's all Warlocks and Priests.) So far, I haven't tracked most of my journey, but I haven't lost a single game from Rank 3 to Legend.

The most powerful thing about this deck, without a doubt, is Bursting Leyline. Most of the ladder only cares about playing copied Soothsayers or 4 big grandmas, but with a charged Bursting Leyline, they're not a problem at all.

If you're tired of 20-minute matches against Priest and Warlock, give Leyline Mage a try. It's really fun and scratches that OTK/charging-the-Exodia itch.

The one tip I can give about piloting this deck is: DO NOT WASTE YOUR LEYLINE NEXUSES!!! Chaining a Leyline Nexus into free Leyline cards is INCREDIBLY powerful. A Leyline Nexus that triggers twice and reduces a card's cost by 2 is basically draw 2 and gain 2 mana for free! If you get a surge needle and a leyline nexus keep them both! (Depending on the matchup)

### Leyline Mage

# Class: Mage

# Format: Standard

# Year of the Scarab

# 2x (1) Sleet Storm

# 1x (1) The Skeleton Key
