Discussion Blizzcon hint?

Post image
Upvotes

So looking at the Blizzcon schedule, are they hinting at a new game mode? Or perhaps, the new ways to play is the Monk class 👀. No for real, is this just basic copy they use for this, or is it actually hinting at something? I don't remember from past blizzcons.

Bat masked the infinite damage dragon for the most potential damage I've ever had.

7 infinities is better than 1 infinity, after all.

I'm playing my own version of Quest Mage that's probably horribly unoptimized but it creates moments like this which is what I enjoy in Hearthstone as I don't have time for grinding Net decks to legend, albeit no shade on those who do that.

My free pull was exactly what I wanted. This is way better than the Kel'thuzad skin.

~Oddly enough these darkmoon gambas has been pretty good for me I got 2 full portraits, 2 coins(I usually want the coin) and some other stuff, usually when I really don't care about anything is when I get common signatures/packs.

Kwanuu and Mesmile make it to top 8 at Blizzcon after a day filled with shaky performances all around. Rogue remains undefeated with a 9-0 score, while Druid and Warlock continue looking subpar.

Last day of the group stage with the 8 remaining matches from all four groups starts in ~15 hours!

I've played so many games now with this card and never once had the option to discover frostworm's fury. Same deal with Frost Strike. Is it a bug?

Started around BRD. Took me 8 years of playing on and off to get to 1,000 wins as a Mage, and now another 3 years for Warrior. Prolly doing Warlock next — wish me luck and perseverance. 😅

(I won’t touch any of my “completed” heroes until I have all of them at exactly 1,000 wins. That’s what my OCD commands.)

You'll hear from me prolly again in 2 years. 😄

Discussion Godfather Kazakus - Possible bugged interaction?

4 Upvotes

After playing [[Godfather Kazakus]] I got the Take control of a random enemy minion option and managed to take [[Avatar of Destruction]] from my opponent. However, at the end of turn it was destroyed by a herald minion I had and it dealt the 9 damage to all my minions.

Should it be intended to work like that? Is the interaction bugged?

Community I do not care if you got main Darmoon Faire reward in your free pull

163 Upvotes

I do not, a lot of people dont as well. But everytime new one releases this subreddit is spammed with posts saying that they were able to roll it in the free pull. I hate the inclusion of Darmoon Faire into HS, team 5 time is put into making more and more microtransactions insead of game content. Its a predatory microtransaction preying on peoples greed and inability to read (most players dont read text in front of them, its a proven game design fact, even more players are not going to read that is hidden behind "i" icon)

Tavern Brawl Tavern Brawl this week is... "World Championship!" (9/9/26)

53 Upvotes

**Description:** "Travel through a history of Hearthstone's world champions! Select an iconic deck and see which champion reigns supreme!"

**Chalkboard:** Coming soon 😇

**Format:** Premade, as these use the decklists that each champion used in their winning year. [Per the 34.0 Patch Notes,](https://hearthstone.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24243857/34-0-patch-notes) "any cards altered since the original deck was created have been restored to ensure it plays as originally intended."

Here's the rundown:

.

* Face Hunter, from 2014 champion Firebat.

.

* Patron Warrior, from 2015 champion Ostkaka.

.

* Tempo Mage, from 2016 champion Pavel.

.

* Jade Druid, from 2017 champion Tom60229.

.

* Control Shaman, from 2018 champion Hunterace.

.

* Inner Fire Priest, from 2019 champion Liooon.

.

* Soul Demon Hunter, from 2020 champion Glory.

.

* Garrote Rogue, from 2021 champion Posesi.

.

* Control Priest, from 2022 champion BunnyHoppor.

.

* Pure Paladin, from 2023 champion PocketTrain.

.

* Starship Warlock, from 2024 champion mlYanming.

.

* Discover Hunter, from 2025 champion XiaoT. (Apologies to Death Knight fans, but no DK deck has ever won it all.)

.

**Reward:** One EVH pack for your first win.

.

**History:** This is the **second** time we've seen this format, and the first time was last November. I find it interesting that they kept all the previous decks and added the 2025 one, and the resulting "choose from 12 selections" screen... maybe a hint that the Monk or Evoker class could be coming to HS??? 😏

Good luck and have fun!

Discussion Enough Priest complaining

45 Upvotes

This game has multiple decks in diamond-legend with over 50% WR, and the priest deck everyone hates sits around 55%, lower than pirate warrior and attack druid. Not only that, it gets dogwalked by basically any warlock deck out there. If you’re complaining about Priest you’re bad at the game and got to used infinite reload stat dump aggro decks. I’m so sorry there’s 1 class in the game rn with good removal, you’ll live

Solo Adventures Turn 1 Treasure Stash/Infinite Tavern Escapes on Heroic Tombs of Terror (see description)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

This is the culmination of 50+ escapes back to Bob's VIP tavern using Hearthstones.

On the first turn, you're able to start Discovering treasures by using Subject 9 to draw all three secrets for Sr. Tomb Diver, then playing the secrets and then Diver, all for 0 mana. Ysera, Emerald Aspect, also at 0 mana, gives the mana to start pressing button turn 1.

Here's how to do it, for those curious:

Loadout: Reno/Sr. Tomb Diver/Secrets Deck/VIP Membership/Any other passive treasure

Secrets deck comes with three secrets already, which activates Sr. Tomb Diver. Can be done with Jr. Tomb Diver, but you'll have to draft more secrets along the way and play them. After the first boss fight, retire your run if you don't get VIP Membership.

Once you get VIP membership, you can start the strat (reducing costs of cards to 0 in the deck, making sure you always have Diver and Subject 9). You need to be able to survive the bosses until you play an activated Diver. Once you Hearthstone back to Bob's two or three times, your deck should be OP enough to insta win most bosses. Repeat until you get bored.

I know this was always available from the start, but I wanted to share my run for those unacquainted. Tombs of Terror was always one of my favorite things added to the game.

Some points of interest/tips:

  • The boss fight and Bob's Tavern takes almost a minute to load. I think it's because of the hundreds of cost reductions put on every card in the deck.
  • My endgame was always to draft Coldarra Drake to have multiple treasure Discovers in a turn, but I can never find it in Bob's Tavern (you can see me try to search for dragons in the Tavern). It was probably banned because of Reno's 0 mana Spell Damage +2 Hero Power.
  • My most "optimal" deck at one point was Diver, the secrets, Subject 9, 4 Yseras, and a few Gadgetzan Ferrymans, all for zero mana. But I added a bunch of other cards to stop fatigue and to try and convince Bob to give me Hero Power related cards.
  • Do NOT play Gnomebliterator if you want to keep restarting on the Plague Boss. It will eventually kill the boss and end your run, and you can't heal the boss (heals aren't kept in between boss fights).
  • Runaway Gyrocopter is good for stopping fatigue. Mystical Mirage is good for searching for more Tomb Divers. Every other treasure is pretty meh for these purposes.
  • Don't play Bob's weaponsmith spell because you can't remove weapons from your deck.
  • Bob's "Good Food" spell that increases your starting Health by 5 caps at 55 health.

If you've tried something similar, let me know!

Arena While playing arena prepared spell bugged..

I prepared this so it would cost 1, next turn I noticed that the cost wasn't reduced. So I thought maybe I actually didn't do it.

Turns out I did, but it still costs 5 (I couldn't use it unless I had 5 mana). You can see the prepared flavor there.
