    Well, I hope you like DuckTales then, so that I can't count on your support on LEGO Ideas 😜

    That's some pretty slick building! Where's the Hearthstone lego at to combine your previous passion with your new one? :D

    Lego is awesome. A few years back I purchased some of the lego trains stuff since it was a childhood dream to have one of them. Being a member of the lego club and getting the magazine every month or two, those damn trains always taunted me. Relegated to a plastic bin because I don't have a dedicated space for them post building, I hope one day I can setup a dedicated room to build out a city, another dream.

    Its such a relaxing activity building sets or creating your own stuff with the mix of pieces collected over the years, so congrats on revisiting the hobby! 

    Thank you :) Well, there is LEGO Overwatch, it they will ever come up with LEGO Hearthstone i will definetely buy *.*

    P.S. You are aware that if you should make it to the 10k supporters and if Lego should actually decide to turn your idea into an actual product, they will pretty much screw you. You will basically have to give up all rights for a meager 1% of net sales. Will vote for you anyways :) Good luck.

    Edit: Just realized Ducktales is a license topic. Not sure, but hope that will not be a problem for them

    Wouldn't call it "mere". 1% of something that will be sold in thousands of copy (plus LEGO is generally pricy) is still quite a lot of money.

    About license: DuckTales is allowed on LEGO Ideas, Scrooge McDuck no. This because when I submitted my idea in may, they were about to release Scrooge, Huey, Dewey and Louie's brickhadz -.-'' (just my luck). So at first they rejected my idea, then I submitted it again with some tweaks (it wasn't anymore Scrooge McDuck's money bin, but Glomgold's, his archnemesis). This costed me a lot of visibility in the first place, cause no one knows or cares about Glomgold. I edited the project, now it's simply "DuckTales: the money bin". But I still can't use Scrooge's name or image.
    Yet i'm almost at 1400 votes after 2 months, not an amazing speed rate, but still enough to hope to get to 10k :)

    Hi everyone. The past few months I played 0 Hearthstone. Let's say that after 4 years I was growing tired, then DH came out, I started enjoy the game less and less. Still purchased the last 2 expansions, but the last one I didn't play AT ALL. I don't earn the monthly card back since 3 months. I just stopped enjoying the game and becoming more and more bored (I think it's normal, considering it represented my daily routine in the past 4 years).

    I recently re-discovered an old passion of my childhood: LEGO ! Started with some LEGO Ideas set, continued with the Colosseum, the I did the big step: I started my own MOC (My own creation). Particularly, one I was pretty fond of: Scrooge McDuck's Money bin.
    For those who don't know, Scrooge McDuck is Donald Duck's stingy uncle, richest duck in the world, who lives in a giant cube (the money bin) containing 3 cubic acres of coins. DuckTales and comics with Scrooge McDuck represent a huge part of my childhood, and I had plenty of fun recreating them LEGO version.

    Here are some photos, but first let me say one more thing: if you like what you see, please support (aka, VOTE, completely free) my project on LEGO Ideas. If it reaches 10 thousand votes, LEGO will consider it to release it as an official set. It would mean the world to me. Link at the end of the post
    Enough talking, let's go with the tour.

    Scrooge's office. My masterpiece, it has it all: number 1 dime, earth globe, multiple phones, profits's graphic skyrocketing, pyramid of coins for Donald to polish them, but most of all...


    ... a functioning trapdoor! It opens when you push forward and closes when you push back!

    The beloved number 1 dime

    To get to the back we'll ask the help of a giant LEGO Darth Vader

    DAMN RIGHT! It's a piggy bank! The back of the roof has a slot to insert coins. So you can fill the money bin with real coins. And admire it full through the big transparent panels.

    DID YOU LIKE IT? THEN VOTE IT ON LEGO IDEAS --> LEGO Ideas Scrooge McDuck's money bin
    Thank you all in advance guys ;)

    So it can only kills 1 health minions. Seems pretty useless. If only had taunt, but as it is doesn't seem its good enough for modern Hearthstone

    I just hope they bring back Tess Greymane. It was fair but most of all was fun. Thief Rogue it's an archetype I would be happy if it becomes permanent

    Do the welps count towards Priest's Ungoro Quest? I don't think so since they gain the DR afterwards, but if so it would be nice

    Nooo, not Kripp again. Last time was awful. Why not the good old Kibler?

    Good nerfs,that in addition to the new expansion will definitely shake the meta, which it's been stale for too long. I guess Galakrond Rogue is dead now. They can't afford to play a 7 mana card that for that turn only gives them 5 armor and (maybe) a 5/2 weapon. Also drawing 1 mana backstab and shadowstep sucks.

    Also DQA, this nerf should be enough to push her out of the meta

    In the end I bought it, despite I said I wouldn't as a sort of protest against blizzard choices in the last months... 

    And it went super well, 3 legendaries, two of them golden..

    Still way too good. Should have been 1 mana for 1 atk, and the second 0 and +1 atk. You might even argue that this is a buff

    Despite how cool she can be, I'm gonna pass.

    1) Since Ashes of Outland huge disappointment I'm at war with Blizzard.

    2) I hate demon hunter with passion

    3) It would be only for the skin, I only miss a few bad legendary from AoO

    4) LoR became my main game in the past month and a half

    It's weird to see that such a massive event like this patch has just 5 comments. I get it, the game is new and has not the numbers of HS, but I would expect more people following it. 

    I started it less than a month ago and I like it every day more and more. Plus you can get a full collection for free, how can something like that don't appeal people?

    HS on the other hand, maybe it's because I played every day in the last 4 years, but I grew sick of it and its meta and random bullshit.

    I feel bad for Moagwai that won against Swim but because of the timer (and Swim roping) ended up in a draw and didn't even make it to the top8. I'm happy for Kibler tho, my favorite HS streamer by far margin, and performing well in this game too. CardID or NameBADCARDNAME

    Pretty rad animation, but doesn’t do much to sell the game.

    The game itself has a somewhat polished look and feel (when opening packs, some of the rightmost card is clipped off the edge of the screen on an iPad Pro - doesn’t feel especially professional), but I don’t think I really like it.  I bought the starter pack, but have no idea what I got in there.  It just sort of said, “You got it”.  I mean, what did I get?  I get a dang light show every time I open a crappy free reward pack, but I spend $5 and...nothing?  Weird.

    As for the gameplay, it seems needlessly over-complicated to try to be like Magic with all of the instant effects and back and forth - and for its part, it handles this well without much clutter, but Hearthstone showed us we didn’t need all that, and this definitely feels like a step backwards.  Also, I just don’t care about any of the characters.  I wasn’t a WoW fan before Hearthstone, but I instantly fell in love with the cute menagerie.  LoR is trying to score some Murloc points with their Pomos or Pokos or whatever, but it just doesn’t work.  And - this may sound weird - but I feel like the inclusion of the MtG blocking mechanic actually REDUCES the strategy element.  I mean, there should be a lot of decisions to make with instants in hand and whatnot, but something about how quickl the games play out means that all of that imagined interaction just doesn’t materialize in most games - not like it did back in my Magic days.  Sorry, Riot, Hearthstone just beats this hands-down.

    I actually think that HS finally found a worthy opponent (pun intended). 

    I downloaded LoR two days ago to take a break from the Demon Hunter bullshit happening in HS right now and I've been intrigued pretty much immediately.

    The game play is very different (I would say way more strategic), RNG is way less relevant and visually the game kicks ass. One of the thing I liked the most is the possibility to look at the full HD artworks of the cards. They are absolutely gorgeous.

    The freebies are really a lot, and the game is really intuitive. I went 7-0 in my very first expedition attempt. Then a 5 wins.

    I do agree tho on the disappointment for the starter bundle. Was expecting some flashy animation, instead nothing :(

    The Glaivebound Adept nerf is really incompetent. NOTHING change with the card. It's not like i don't want to take 7 damage to the face but 6 is ok, i'm just gonna ignore it. You HAVE to kill it or you are pretty much dead.
    They could have increase the cost, lower the damage dealt, make it target only minions, decrease it's health to make it more easy to deal with... no, atk decreased by 1.
    Truly, TRULY incompetent.

    I'm worried that DH might be too week after this round of nerfs. Not because I play the class (infact, I find it extremely boring and I have only played something like 10 games with it), but because is my best matchup by far with highlander Rogue (8-4 at legend). Yes, Altruis must be addressed as it is way too strong, but that on top of the battlefield, the glaive guy and felwing might completely kill the deck. After all they easily run out of resources, if you manage to keep your health high not falling behind in the first turns is a cakewalk
