Out of Cards is... Great
By now, everyone and their mother knows about hearthpwn's fate. So, most of us have migrated here, to out of cards.
At first, the site seemed mediocre at best; I was having trouble scrolling down and using some features, but it is getting better every day.
Keep it up, moderators, you guys are doing great. I hope this site grows to the size of hearthpwn, and beyond!
I almost like this site even more than hearthpwn, for a few reasons:
1) No pop up ads. It has gotten so bad recently on hearthpwn, that I can barely do anything before I become a 'SUPER LUCKY WINNER!!!' You have no idea how good it feels to be able to browse forever on this site without stupid things coming up!
2) works MUCH better on mobile. If I am ever using this site or hearthpwn, I am 99% of the time on my phone, whether I be on my commute, or just waiting for something to happen. On hearthpwn, once in a while, I would be looking at people's profiles out of pure curiousity, and I would accidentally hit the 'collection' button. See, my phone can't handle this massive collection being loaded, and I'd often have to close the tab because it would freeze trying to load the collection. Thank God there's no innkeeper on this site :)
Well I apologise for writing a book, but I really wanted to voice my opinion on this new site. Keep up the good work guys, and long live Out of Cards!

I'm shocked there isn't more people here already. As soon as I heard the news I jumped the ship here.
Been coming here since it was Hearthstation and a much better place it is. Hopefully Flux and the other guys keep it clear and I'm sure it will be great. Especially out of the clutch of Curse.
Cocked, locked and ready to rock...
Agreed. I'm loving this site so far, although there are still a few things they need to add, like Spoilers.
But I know they will add them eventually.
Yeah! Curse really is a curse
I agree. I would also like to see a post count like hearthpwn, as well as many other small things. But I assume that everything will be added because Flux wants "everything hearthpwn had and more"
Post count does exist, you have 7 <---- but it's not the most noticeable perhaps. Still much to be done in terms of user profile data but we'll get there =D
Edit: except on mobile atm.

Hearthpwn was REALLY slow. The client side scripts were slow, but the server side stuff was also hellishly slow.
Please don't add any features that would cause this site to run as slowly as Hearthpwn.
Won't be an issue. If we add stuff that needs more processing power, we'll spin up more power. The goal is to keep things as lean as possible while having a rich set of features.
HearthPwn's main problem is it is using a horrible codebase that is relatively ancient. People not being given the opportunity to improve said code meant all the sites running on it were shit-tastic. We're building from the ground up to make sure stuff is as fast as possible and not relying on shit tech.
It's going to take us longer but the end result will be a feature-rich community that can actually grow and flourish. The HearthPwn solution was to throw money at the problem as the site became more problematic to run as far as backend performance was concerned.

It's definately growing on me.
The two things I used on Hearthpwn were the news thread and the forums. Both are implemented in a great way here! Not to mention the fact that I had a problem with the whole curse membership thing and was unable to link my account even after several attempts. Here everything is much more clean and simple.

I agree, this site is great! Keep up the good work!
Used pwn for years and NEVER felt like I wanted to create an account.
Signed up on OoC today as soon as I could. Keep it up and go get ‘em, Flux.
Handle it!
Oh I had no idea it existed... I guess I need to play around with the site a bit more. I'm excited to see what you guys will addadd!
(And 7 posts haha! Gonna have to build that back up again!)
I'm liking this site. Was a long time lurker on hrthpwn never bothered to create an account just looked at the content.
Thanks for all your work
I'm feeling it
Hi everyone! Glad to be making the switch over to outOfCards :)
Agreed! More tools here and that deckbuilder with a dedicated page for creating Guides! Beautiful! Love the site!

The site is young, but already better than Hearthpwn in many ways, starting from the fact it runs muuuch smoother, on both desktop and mobile, and it has no redirecting scam ads.
Give it some more time, to fully develop on one hand, and grow in population on the other, and soon we'll ask ourselves why the hell we didn't leave HP earlier for a new site. :P
Just chiming in with the good feels wagon! Like a few other posters before me, I read Hearthpwn a lot over the years, but never made an account. Really glad to be part of this community!

This site has really great potential to be the best resource for any hearthstone related things. It's still very barebone but I rather have a solid foundation than a lot of bad implemented features... So I am loving it!
Post count is right below your character! How can you miss that. Maybe because it is in grey?
I agree that OoC is much better, but I’m not sure about mobile. Specifically trying to get to the forums, the drop down is too long and I can’t scroll without clicking on something else. I’m on an IPhone 6 so it’s not like I have a small or old phone.
I make bad custom Hearthstone cards sometimes.
I still don't see it on mobile. What do you mean below my character?
That's actually true, I've been having trouble with that too, but I honestly don't really use that feature. I just look at recent forums most of the time. But still, I'd take this everyday over pop up ads every 5 seconds. (Literally, I'm not even kidding) I'd still argue that OoC is better on mobile than hearthpwn was.
Once there's a way to easily distinguish standard decks from wild (and maybe there is and I'm missing it) this site will have everything I want.
That was actually implemented a few days ago. You can now search for either format and decks are automatically flagged depending on the cards. One exception being decks that existed prior still need to be updated with a script.
Also yeah mobile is missing a few things still but it's definitely a priority to make mobile great.

I like very much the orange letters on the dark grey background! (you have very good taste!). Keep the overall great work!
This site is sooo much faster than Hearthpwn. I do prefer Hearthpwn's brighter look but I guess that's a matter of preference (perhaps one feature to consider would be allowing users to choose from different options for site theme). Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see what improvements you have in store!
Yes this site is incomparably faster than hearthpwn! It makes browsing to much nicer!
I do kinda agree with the brighter look, but I really don't mind how it is rn tbh. Giving people the opinion to choose would definitely be the way to go, but I'm sure there are more important things to be added at the moment.
There's definite plans to offer alternative themes of some kind, but that may not come until after some more of the core features are established. I know that not everyone is a fan of dark themes, but this is default for now.

I didn't know about this site until recently, otherwise I'd have migrated a lot sooner. I used to love Hearthpwn, but through some real life stuff effecting my judgement, it led to some forum meltdowns I never fully recovered from. This is of course my own fault for not interneting properly, but regardless the fresh start is a welcome one.
This site is looking ok so far just need to give them time to make improvements and i'm sure in time this site will become better than hearthpwn was, time will tell.
Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
I'm definitely here giving Out of Cards a legit shot. There's only a couple websites that I like for HS, so it's nice to have a good one that aggregates info. Combine this with reddit and I feel like you get most everything you need. I'm looking forward to the collection tracker support!
Yes and hopefully it's better than innkeeper!
