Hello members of the /r/hearthstone community,

This is part of a series of weekly threads aimed at both new and old players from the community. It is designed so that everybody may ask any and all questions regarding the game's mechanics, decks, strategies and more.

Please keep it clean and try to add more than just a one or two word response. As the goal of this post is to increase the community's knowledge, the thought process matters as much as the answer! There is also a Theorycrafting Thursday weekly post, for those who wish to discuss some of the more intricate aspects of the game.

Sticky Threads and Guides - Great resources for new players!

Blizzard knows the meme. Let's make sure Blizzard knows that we take our memes seriously.

Hunter is the only class that is perfectly acceptable to not run any legendaries competitively.

Posted: 02 May 2017 04:59 AM PDT

I mean who needs legendaries if you have double highmanes.

There is only 1 sign which indicates a healthy meta

Posted: 02 May 2017 08:02 AM PDT

...and it's you, folks. Outside of the early "quest rogue" complaints, this subreddit hasn't complained about the competitive meta whatsoever. There's a broad variety of viable decks in each class, and the meta feels incredibly fluid. Props to Team 5 for Journey to Un'Goro - I believe this is the best expansion ever released to Hearthstone, and I've been playing since Vanilla.

Celebrating 70 Million Hearthstone Players! - 3 Free Packs!

Posted: 01 May 2017 11:30 AM PDT

No caster has ever forgotten a card name as hard as I did during the TESPA tournament.

Posted: 01 May 2017 07:24 PM PDT

120 Un'Goro packs. 4 legendaries. 4 Pyros.

Posted: 01 May 2017 08:18 PM PDT

I believe Blizzard when they say there's no problem with the algorithm and Legendaries aren't being repeated more than normal. But statistically speaking, someone has to have very bad luck.

But I don't get why there is a quest card for every class instead of one non-class legendary that gives each class their quest.

I cannot justify spending money on this game anymore.

I'm done. I quit the game. No hard feelings. Yes, I'm salty right now but looking back it was good entertainment for 3 years.

I sincerely, and without sarcasm, wish people keep enjoying the game.

EDIT: I don't know why it matters but a lot of people are talking about it so here it goes:

I did not open the 120 packs in one sitting. I bought the 50 on preorder. The first 2 Pyros came from the those. I got 11 packs from Arena which I opened immediately as I got them. After the 3 free packs, I bought 40. I used gold to get to the 120. The fourth Pyros and my salt came on the 118th pack.

EDIT 2: After reading all the comments I'm gonna give Gwent a try, sounds interesting. But I'll do so in a week or two. But I got all I could from Hearthstone, you guys keep enjoying it. I'm out.

Blizzard, thanks for the full dust refund option when you craft a card.

Posted: 02 May 2017 01:33 AM PDT

No sarcasm.

Today that button was my savior. I went to my collection to disenchant the golden common I got for reaching my rank last season and I accidentally crafted another copy of it for 400 dust. I got really frightened but I saw the DE button next to it which showed 400 dust. I quickly pressed it and I was happy to have my dust back.

Thanks Team 5 for implementing this. Please do not change it like Yogg.

If everyone on this subreddit created 23 new accounts for hearthstone, we'd get to 80 million players, and perhaps THREE more Ungoro packs!

Easy packs!!

Edit: relevant flair.. thx auto flair

Can we talk about how ridiculously over-statted Gentle Megasaur is?

Posted: 02 May 2017 08:15 AM PDT

I think this is the sleeper-card of the set and players are quickly realizing how overpowered this card is.

If you're playing murlocs, Gentle Megasaur has the potential to be a permanent Bloodlust, for one less mana, with a 5/4 body attached. Windfury is a class-specific spell that gives the effect to one minion for 2 mana, and Gentle Megasaur is a neutral minion that can give it to all your minions.

I just don't understand why Blizzard keeps releasing these minions that pass the vanilla test and have insanely powerful abilities as well. This card would see the exact same amount of play now as a 4/3, maybe with even less stats. The stats of minions needs to reflect their cost and abilities, or else power creep in this game is going to really get out of hand. And to top it all off, it's a beast, which is relevant thanks to Curator.

Yea, you're not always going to get the adapt you want, but you're always going to get something good, and certainly something worth it. Since the minion already passes the vanilla test there's no downside at all for having such ridiculous blowout potential in your deck. Comparing the card to either Lightfused Stegodon or Verdant Longneck would lead anyone to believe that the balance team is either clueless or really wanted to force the Murloc package down our throats.

Edit: I actually forgot that druids had a 4 mana spell with no body that just adapts your minions. What the fuck?

Let players play recipe decks against the innkeeper even if they don't have all the cards

Posted: 01 May 2017 12:01 PM PDT

I'd really like to test out a few legendaries/epics from the new set, especially a few quests, but I can't justify crafting them when I don't know 100% if I will like them. 1600 dust is a large investment, and if it doesn't work out it will leave the player feeling really bad for having crafted it.

It's bad enough not having access to all these quests which were the main theme of the new set, I think we should atleast be able to test them out in a non tavern brawl environment.

I wouldn't even mind if they limited the amount of times you could play with it. I think the opportunity it would give would help aid us in spending our dust wisely.

Deck tribute poster: Taunt warrior

Posted: 02 May 2017 01:39 AM PDT

I finally decided to push for legend last month for the legendary card back, and to honor that achievement I made a deck tribute poster.

Inspired by some recent posts: Aggro Shaman and Control Warrior

Here is my decklist: Taunt Warrior

Unfortunately I couldn't find good high resolution images for most cards so I'm not fully satisfied with the results, but I'm still going to use it as a wallpaper for my phone.

Edit: Made some small changes. Link updated.

Where are the results of the Chinese reveal of card drop probabilities?

Posted: 02 May 2017 01:17 AM PDT

I've seen so many posts announce that a Chinese law forces companies to reveal the probabilities of such random rewards but nothing of the actual reveal, which should have taken place yesterday
