    Hey all! I really appreciate the collection manager, it's great being able to see just how expensive these decks are (or aren't!) to me.

    I was wondering, is there any way I can clear my collection? It looks like some of the card data for me is wrong--I have multiple copies of most legendaries, and I might have other problems too. Since JSON import is working fine for me, I feel like the simplest thing would be to just erase my entire collection, then re-import the collection fresh from HSReplay.

    Thanks much for your help!

    Is there anyway you could change these pages, so they display the “your cost in dust“ number in addition to the “total cost“ number? That would be a huge help, instead of my needing to click through on each deck to see that figure…

    Fantastic, the JSON importer is a huge help!

    I wonder -- Would it be feasible to let me save the JSON URL to my OOC account and automate this somewhat? What I envision is, I click the "import JSON" button--and if there's a URL saved to my account, my browser fetches the data and fills in that text box for me. I'd guess that could happen without involving your servers? (But I'm not a web guy so I'm just guessing...)

    Are we sure that MMR is used for matchmaking all the time? The blog post said MMR is used *while you have a star multiplier*:

    Quote From No Author Specified

    When playing with a Star Bonus you’ll be matched by your matchmaking rating (MMR), meaning you’ll be matched even more precisely with players of your similar skill level when climbing!

    So as I read that, you're matched my MMR while you have a bonus (i.e. while you're climbing back to last month's rank), but once you've used up your bonus, you're playing against people your own rank (and MMR isn't used). So--per this post's example--if a legendary player just sits at Bronze 10-6 month after month, they'll be sniping against beginners like they do now.

    I can kind of see what’s going on here. I had assumed that charge was gradually going away, being relegated to weak basic and classic cards only useful in niche decks. But it looks like they want charge to be a rare and useful thing—not all classes will get it, but for those few, it’ll let them shore up some big weakness.

    Still, wouldn’t be astounded if this card ends up being broken in actual play. I’m guessing DH gets a lot of tweaking over its first year.

    And also, there’s a risk (as with Darkness) that the opponent evades the condition and you’re stuck with a permanent dormant on your side of the board. I assume if they polymorph or return-to-hand a Warder, you won’t be able to satisfy the “all three Warders die” requirement, and Maggie stays locked up

    Which, I assume, means the dormant minion is fully healed when it awakens

    I assume the rewards are cumulative? That is, if I go from Bronze 10 to Silver 3, I get the rewards for Bronze 5, Silver 10, and Silver 5 (totalling 3 standard Rare cards and one card pack)? That's what I'd assume but it isn't clear to me.

    Are the cards golden? Pity if they aren't, I like the golden cards and looked forward to getting a few every month...

    If you install the 16.4 patch, the brawl is available--it's Shiftcon West.(your deck is full of Shifter Zerus and Shifting Scroll).

    Thanks! This won it for me against Rafaam/Galakrond after a couple of tries. I didn’t have Soularium so I subbed in a Runic Egg

    Are these heroic missions... easier than the other  adventures'?

    So  far I've beaten all the missions but one with a standard Quest Rez Priest deck. That didn't work for Lazul (her ability to copy my cards was brutal against that) but I tried Galakrond Rogue and beat her first try.

    Maybe it gets harder...

    Quote From Fluxflashor

    That would be two tokens, each named Icicle, with the Freeze keyword being the only text they have.

    ...but the keyword Freeze never appears by itself, it always has some explanatory text--"Battlecry: Freeze a character", "Freeze any character damaged by this minion", etc.

    The two most likely possibilities IMO are: (a) Summon two 1/1 icicles with "Freeze any character damaged by this minion" (so, basically, create two mini Water Elementals); or (b) Summon two 1/1 icicles that start out as Frozen.

    Of those two, (a) seems far more likely, since (b) would not be very useful--if you play Granizador on turn 5, you get two icicles that are frozen and exhausted; on turn 6 they're just frozen, which wears off at the end of turn 6, so you can actually attack with them on turn 7. I don't see much use in tokens that can't do anything for two turns...

    Haven't finished it yet, in part because of the iOS problems. Is there a reward for finishing the whole story (besides the single Tavern Brawl classic pack you get for finishing the very first encounter)?

    Can someone confirm that Descent of Dragons sidequests also trigger her battlecry?

    One other note, you can use this brawl to do your daily quests (like any other tavern brawl, even though it's solo content).

    Just because there's been a lot of confusion...

    Every point of damage you do to the boss increases the boss's health by one, and notionally "puts up a decoration".

    You need to do 30 damage to the boss ("put up 30 decorations") before you die. And critically, you need to die after putting up those decorations.

    I played Jade Druid, got control of the board, and did like 300 damage before I gave up and conceded. But because I conceded instead of dying, I didn't win the brawl and get my pack.

    After another couple of tries, I was in the same situation--and after I did 30 damage, I just hit "end turn" until the boss was able to kill me, and I got my pack.
