    I have been playing on my phone for a couple of days now. I had serious problems with the app so I deleted the app and then re-installed it and that worked for me.

    Greetings,

    On my iphone 8 plus using safari web browser I am able to find the front page of Out of Cards use the top right icon navigate to the "decks" select a deck then  select "Hearthstone Deck Code." When I hit that button a pop up bubble says "Copy!" and then I go to Hearthstone. Inside the deck collection it auto fills the deck.

    No bug here.

    There is no name to the decks that I add to my collection which other sites do like https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/decks/bomb-warrior-wild

    But don't worry I am not leaving this site. (You are stuck with me ;) ).

    The layout of the deck page is a bit odd but is really the same on PC. I am looking at Pogo Hand Rogue by Rippy. At the top of the page it reads "Pogo Hand Rogue." and then there are five boxes below it (I love the icons in those five boxes). Everything up to this point makes sense. Then there is this box. It has the avator and Rippy's name. Next to his name there is a green arrow up and red arrow down. This is strange because these arrows should be next to the deck name instead of the author's name. Inside the Rippy's box there is a row of very important deck buttons (I love the 4 icons in those boxes). One of the boxes is "Hearthstone Deck Code."

    Even though this feature is oddly placed it is plainly visible and has a whole row dedicated to the same concept.

    Greetings All you beautiful Nerds,

    I have a problem. I hope some of you have seen this and know how to resolve it.

    When I go into the hearthstone "My Collection" screen in my iOS platform. I occasionally run across a flag on a deck stating that I am a few cards short of a full deck. Yet, when I click on the deck it shows 30/30. The flag then goes away and the problem is resolved. What is going on?

    Thanks,

    tl;dr: 1. Omit needless words from the top of all pages keeping username and add our avatars. 2. Take the information from number one and add that to member page along with a button that shows a list of our posts. 3. Add filter to find decks that use a given card (Hearthpwn's "Contains". 4. Celebrate artists of card art. 5. Is Gamepedia's website going to stop? (sister website of Hearthpwn).

    • Tell us what you love about the site.
    • I recently visited the card page for Deathwing, Dragonlord and I noticed that on the top of the page there was a banner for Whispers of the Old Gods. It was so well done that I kind of overlooked it. So I started looking at other cards and even Wilfred Fizzlebang has a banner celebrating the card set where this card came from. I wanted to say that design choice looks really nice.
    • I love that you provide the font choice Helvetica.
    • I love how the moderators respawn super quickly. It feels like a small community even though I am pretty sure this site is growing in popularity.
    • Give us details on the things you hate.
    • I can't change the text color back to the original/default color using the text color options
      • This is the original color. This is white. This is gray. This is medium gray. I can't customize the color nor do I really care.
      • I hate that I can't really keep track of my posts. I think there should be a link to my posts on my member's page just like there is a threads box.
      • The very top heading looks awkward: Hey, ArcticFox! [Profile] [Manage] Sign Out]
        • I like where it says my name but that's it. If you want to keep the "Hey," so be it but the rest is awkward and probably should be revisited in the future. "Profile" is [bad] redundancy.  "Profile" and "Manage" should not be the third word on every page on this website. It simply is not that important. So if you hid those two options the top of the page would read "Hey, ArcticFox Sign Out" and perhaps some people might feel that I should sign out (Kappa) but that probably is not the best heading for this website which is why "Sign Out" should be hidden as well. It is nice to see my avatar which I selected and I think it should appear to the left or above my username.
    • Think you have an idea to make something better? Tell us!
      • Box up the headings "Out of Cards Beta," "Decks," "Cards," "Deckbuilder," "Expansions," "Guides," "Forums" and use some kind of image or icon. It would reinforce the idea that the user can click directly on them.
    • Provide us with new ideas that you'd like to see us implement to make HearthStation even better.
      • I would like to Filter your list of decks by cards or "Contains." When I get a new legendary card I will want to search up the best decks that include that card and a search option similar to Hearthpwn would be appreciated. I only know that there is not a single deck that uses Wilfred Fizzlebang because I visited the card page and the "Top Decks" section was completely missing. 
      • Celebrate Artists of Cards:
        • Provide the name of the artist of each card in their respected card home page. This might be easier while Hearthpwn is still up. I wouldn't have known that Alex Horley did the art for Deathwing, Dragonlord had hearthpwn not included that information.
        • Have an artist area similiar to https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Alex_Horley#Credits_and_debug_cards
          • On a side note is Gamepedia stopping their services too as their Hearthstone section is called Hearthpwn? If they are closing shop there might be a lot of useful information that will be leaving the internet. Information like when certain expansions were released to help with my own personal predictions of future expansions.

    Hello :D is there anyway to sort decks by mode it seems kinda hard to find wild decks?

    https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/?is_standard=false

    Yes! There is a way to sort decks by mode. The above link should provide you with only wild decks. You go to the filter standard called "Is standard?" and select "No."

    Personally, I think they should change this filter. I talk about that on this on the forum listed below:

    https://outof.cards/forums/out-of-cards/site-feedback-ideas/393-standard-or-wild-tags

    Good luck to you.

    Well, this is a good place to discuss my idea about standard and wild tags which is two-fold. First, I propose a change to search terms for decks and secondly, make decks auto label their format when they are being created.

    At https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/ I noticed that you can filter decks to be wild or standard using the filters above the list of decks. I think the labels should be tweaked a little bit because there is a bias toward standard decks.

     

    1. Replace "Is standard" with "Format" or "Game Format." 

    Out Of Cards may present a bias against the Hearthstone wild format at the decklists. I am mainly a wild player so it is awkward for me to click on "Is standard" and select yes, no, or unknown. I believe the choice should be under "Format" or "Game Format" and the options should be Standard, Wild, or Fanwork. Look at the number of decks that have been created Wild vs Standard. When creating content remember that we do exist. 

    2. To make it more idiot proof and to create beautiful uniformity and better user experience. I believe that the freedom to label decks: "Standard," "Wild," or "Fanwork" should be taken away from the users. These labels should automatically appear based on the cards or construction of the deck. Any deck that has three of the same card or the same legendary twice or brakes the traditional rules of hearthstone deck building should be labeled Fanwork. Any deck that follows the traditional rules of hearthstone but includes one or more wild card should be called a wild deck. Any deck that only uses standard hearthstone cards should be called Standard.

    *Edit: " Show Constructed Only" this solution works for filtering Fanwork too!

    tl;dr Thanks for fixing or working on this.

    I am so glad this was covered. I wanted to point out that this feature is kind of awkward to find. I had the same question and found it eventually after creating the deck manually. I used the system and intuitively went to the wrong webpage. I wanted this feature and I was directed to a place to manually create the deck.

    I first came to the website. I clicked deckbuilder and went down to warlock and selected that class. Then I looked around that page and didn't see a direct method of uploading my deck. I manually inputted each card into the system. Later tonight I realized that if I had clicked on deckbuilder and selected deckbuilder than I would have saved a lot of time! I noticed that all the other headings have a built-in redundancy in their drop down options. "Decks," "cards," "Expansions," "Guides," and "Forums," have two different ways to end up at the main section of their topic. Most of the time its the title or " View All..." I think the best way to add redundancy is to add "Enter your Hearthstone deck code below" on every single class. Which is what you are going to be doing. So thank you.

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing as the OP. I have other thoughts but its slightly off topic. I like the thinking here.

    • Tell us what you love about the site.

    I think Chimera did a really nice job on those class guides. Thank you for Flux and friends for saving the Hearthpwn community (Thank you!).

    • Give us details on the things you hate.

    Spacing is awkward on card pages. There is a lot of dead space to the right of the card. Card stats including cost, attack, and health should not be given such a prominent spot on the page and I don't like the shape of the slanted boxes (sorry) but I do wish more the corners were rounded.

    • Think you have an idea to make something better? Tell us!

    I believe a front card gallery is a better fit for this website compared to a list of cards. Flux said, "Hearthstone is a game, and games are meant to be fun. We want to encourage and spread fun to help make the Hearthstone community more inviting.” While a line by line list of card statistics might be useful, I believe presenting the cards in their original raw format is better because Hearthstone compacts a lot of information and presents it with nice/beautiful artwork in a small area of space. If you want to present the statics and facts of the card then let the user make that choice by placing the cursor over it (let the info popup) or let the user click on the card for info. Let (me) the user pursue more information. It’s like too much information on a first date.

    I just realized that Hearthpwn had three options "Visual," "Images," and "Listing" when looking at minions. You have "listing." Hearthpwn "Visuals" suck so forget that. And "Images" is what I am requesting.

    Whatever you guys end up doing I hope you continue to pursue your "majestic playfulness" and serve the Hearthstone community.

    • Provide us with new ideas that you'd like to see us implement to make HearthStation even better.

    A search bar on the front page of the website.

    On individual card pages, please flip "Rate This Card" and "Top Decks."

     

    More icons/pictures to click on for links or making selections! (like Hearthpwn)

    Only on April 1st, every time I click on anything there should be Fireworks.

    This guide looks amazing! Great job!

    I loved that Boomsday Announcement Video. There was also a commercial called "The Boomsday Project: Here Comes The BOOM! (Rube Goldberg)" which I think is worth mentioning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc1Pljfhy-4
