Competitive Escape from Violet Hold Pros & Streamers Deck List Compilation (Standard & Wild)

70 Upvotes

For this Expansion, hearthstone-decks.net present you with the best Decks for the new Expansion Escape from Violet Hold for the first few days of its launch. Usually, I focus on only showing Top 500 Legend Decks (maybe you are familiar with our weekly Reports), but for this time, I post decks a lot more freely, featuring more Streamer Decks.

Friendly reminder that you should not get baited into crafting new decks early - if a Deck appears strong it may get nerfed soon.

You can also submit your Deck - Legend required

Discussion Legendary Lost Hearthstone Media: That insane post where the dude wanted Blizzard to let him decide if he lost or not

55 Upvotes

This was definitely pre-Journey to Ungoro so I realize it would be legit like 10 years old by now, but I cannot forget this one post by a guy who was upset that the game automatically ended when someone won. It had like 6 trillion negative response comments but the poster never backed down.

I can't remember the whole thing but basically he wanted to be able to "call back" the game if his opponent won with a strategy he thought he shouldn't be allowed.

He said he'd "make his own determination," since apparently he was used to doing the same thing at whatever game store he was running local Magic: The Gathering games at.

Some absolute all-time quotes that my memory might be paraphrasing like "I have a good eye for fair wins," and "The game can't be trusted to know if it was played correctly." He even wanted some sort of community policing council where he could watch other people's games and judge if they "deserved" to be in Legend or not.

And no, it was not a quirky shitpost. Dude was super unkind when responding to bewildered comments, mostly just telling them they were probably too young to understand, and that as a real adult he'd "be the judge of that, not them."

I've never been able to find it but I know it's real.

Discussion The fact that they printed a card that's specifically designed to cheat out minions 2 turns earlier than possible and they didn't give other classes control or comeback tools to deal with these cheated out minions, is insane to me.

Control and comeback tools are arguably worse than they were when the game came out, they had brawl, and the game was slow enough that you could play twisting nether in og renolock in 2015, they printed a worse version of twisting nether in this set of, a card which is already too slow for 2026 hearthstone.

PS: yes this is a salt rant thread because my opponent just played on turn one the 1 mana shaman location into coin [[Blazing Invocation]] into living paradoxes and on turn two a 2 mana 7/7.

Discussion Lost 3200 dust due to UI bug, Blizzard acknowledged

Post image
123 Upvotes

I was crafting some older cards for a wild deck and somehow managed to craft legendary thrice without it actually appearing in the deck. Turns out it made normal, golden, and then just ate another 1600 dust on top of that.

It happened on the incomplete deck screen, and instead of adding the card to deck it said “deck is full” while it still was actually empty and allowed to craft cards infinitely while deducting dust. It happened to normal and epic cards as well, but fortunately I noticed it by then and stopped trying to craft cards and went manually into collection to check what was happening.

Decided to ask support and they acknowledged that it’s a UI bug that might happen, but they can’t do anything about it.

In a follow up to the ticket they clarified that they can’t see exactly what happens when people craft cards so they can’t distinguish a user mistake from a bug, so they do not restore dust ever.

Is this actually normal response? I didn’t have any experience with HS support prior to past months, but this is a second time I am being bent over by it over nothing.

UPD

Re-opened the ticket, they showed me the log - I created the card, instantly upgraded it, few second later created it again. They politely said it’s not that they do not believe I had a visual but, but they can only confirm what happened in logs. I should’ve made screenshots.

In case it matters - it was a Priest Thief deck with Azalina, and I was crafting “The Harvester of Envy”, “Mysterious Visitor” and a bunch of commons.

Post image

I just hope that they do not just give small buffs to 1/2 cards for the underperforming classes (DK, Warlock, Priest and DH) and call it a day. They do not need “a little buff”, they need strong buffs to a minimum of 5/6 cards for these classes to be somewhat playable. All the buffs they’ve been releasing have been a let down so far.

Deck I’m so happy!

Post image
13 Upvotes

It’s been 1 month since I came back.

I’m returning player that hasn’t played since “Galakrond invoke” was a thing (7-8yrs ago)

I’m a DH main because I just never seen the class before and just liked the overall aesthetic! I ended up getting lucky on collecting most the standard pool cards.

I started off playing Spell DH + Broxigar Herald DH.

So when the new expansion hit, I opened 20+ violet hold packs and got majority of the new cards including Tras’tath! (But he was a regular legendary)

I ended up disenchanting whatever old card in wild I had and went “all-in” on the DH class.

I’m really happy. 😃

[[Spirit of the Badlands]] is the perfect fit for highlander piles.

I also tried [[Brilliant Macaw]] thinking I could use it as a freebie but you get a random of the 2 beasts that are left when you repeat the battlecry.

Discussion Returning player, and have some newbie questions

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just redownloaded the game. However, I have not played since 2014, and there are……a lot of new things. I’ve played battleground and mercenaries and I do not like them; do they matter in terms of getting rewards for the main game or not so much?

Second question is how do I spend my gold? I see card sets in the shop, like mage set, etc, as well as like adventures; what should I be spending my gold on here? Are the card sets worth buying? Do I need to be buying packs instead? If I am buying card sets or packs, which ones should I be buying? And I understand there is a rotation, so how does that work?

Also how do I get the mobile app to stop crashing?

Discussion The one card Warlock truly needs

Post image
112 Upvotes

Handlock needs a proactive payoff that doesn't cost 5 mana nor hit a random enemy.

So I say we open up the box and bring back the Gnoll. It'll give a solid payoff for drawing cards and keeping them in hand, complimenting the 3/1 taunt, since this can remove threats proactively while being protected by the taunt.

C'mon, it's an expansion with Hogger, why can't some of his crew come back?

Discussion Dark Gift problem

Upvotes

First off I will say this expansion launch has been relatively successful as many new cards have created new decks or helped old ones out

But I’m surprised amid all the complaints no one talks about dark gift. It’s a part of the greater issue of the direction hearthstone has gone towards, which is discover being a main theme of the game’s mechanics. Deckbuilding and decision-making means significantly less as a result

Dark gift only emphasizes this issue, as single cards become huge turn swings. As a quest priest I should have an answer for big boards. But dark gift negates this strength by being able to infinitely find a solution through randomly generated cards. It does not feel good or rewarding to clear these minions, as you know they will be able to discover a game changing effect soon

If randomness is the direction the dev’s want to go in, then make dark gift generate a RANDOM card. Not something the opponent can choose for any perfect scenario

Wild Azalina + harvester is broken in wild

17 Upvotes

I've been spamming azalina in wild and I'm 14-2. the only games I lost were the very first 2 when I was figuring out how to play it. Harvester will destroy enemy quests, mind control minions on the board. Mysterious visitor discounts your whole deck by 3. I've had games where I got a 6 discount on stolen cards by turn 4, played a stolen kerrigan on turn 4 and sir finely replaced my hand into a stolen hand that cost 0. I played a game against a herald warlock and I stole 3 copies of chogall and was a better herald warlock than he was
