Double Hobgoblin Issue

Hobgoblin may not be working as intended when there are multiple Hobgoblin in play.

Quote from Rolkyr

I played Cogmaster when there is a robot and Hobgoblin in the playground. Sometimes the Hobgoblin give +2/+2 to Cogmaster, and sometimes this synergy doesn't work. Is it a bug?
We are actually investigating an issue where Hobgoblin isn't working properly if you have more than 1 in play. It appears that this is what you have experienced. I am going to get your screen shots added to our research. Appreciate the report, cheers!

EU Legend Display Issue

Blizzard is indeed aware of the problem with legend ranks not displaying correctly in-game.

Quote from Zeriyah

We are aware that Legend ranks in the Europe region are not displaying properly and are currently investigating the issue. We will update this thread as more information becomes available.

Popular Decks of the Week

The results have been tallied and these are the HearthPwn Top 10 decks of the week!

Deck	Author	Cost
Jeevlin Mage	GiveMeAegis	3380
Solid Control Hunter	opeons	7240
Last Boss Minion Mage	Razoir	7040
2 Is Better Than 1	BrodosEU	9000
StrifeCro's Winstreakadin	Telandra	7880
Unleash the Death	Spark	1240
Hobo Druid	TreefolkEU	1860
New Miracle Rogue	P4wnyhof	6700
Holy 4000	MarineKingHS	4600
EASY	Thatloud	1360

Deck Spotlight: Holy 4000

We're checking out Holy 4000, the Midrange Priest deck from Legend player MarineKingHS! This deck is designed to win by overpowering your opponent with high value minions that synergize together.  By using a minimal number of spells your goal is to simply overpower the enemy with better trades over and over again. This deck avoids the typical Circle of Healing/Injured Blademaster/Auchenai Soulpriest core combos that most Priest decks are built upon.

Being mech themed, the deck does require quite a few cards from the GvG expansion, so hopefully you've picked up quite a few of them. The deck cost 4600 dust to craft, but can be toned down by swapping out Vol'jin for a Bomb Lobber or Shadow Madness. Go read the full, and quite awesome, deck guide to learn more, and see the deck below to get crafting!

Deck Spotlight: StrifeCro's Winstreakadin

StrifeCro, the #1 ranked player in NA currently, has taken this Paladin deck on a wild ride! This midrange, GvG themed Paladin deck went on a thirty-three game winstreak over on the European servers. You can find his deck down below, and you can check out the 3 hour long VoD on StrifeCro's Twitch.

You may recall seeing a similar deck here on HearthPwn not too long ago from wickedBBQ, an EU Legend player. StrifeCro's deck did not opt for the Zombie Chow, or Harrison Jones. Instead, his deck contained The Black Knight, Antique Healbot, and Mind Control Tech. You can find both decks down below, and if you want to learn a thing or two about these decks, read up on wickedBBQ's full deck guide, T I R I O N B O Y S!

Noxious' Slight Tweaks to Unused Cards

We've all got those cards sitting in our collection that just seem to not fit into any viable deck, and Noxious has some ideas of his own to make them better. Take a look at Mana Addict, when was this card ever viable outside of some Miracle Rogue decks? Well there was that one budget Mage deck from last July..

Blue Tweets

Featuring tweets from Ben Brode! And just in case it needs to be said, Android and iPhone Hearthstone releases are still planned for this year.

Quote from Blizzard

Hey dude, do you have any estimate of when hearthstone will be released for android phones?
This year! (Ben Brode)

Any ideas [internally] to do something about [players who let the rope burn out when they have no mana or cards]?
Yeah it's something we have been discussing. Nothing planned for the short term yet, though. (Ben Brode)

Do you think Big Game Hunter is a bit too much? Most decks that aren't aggro or early run one automatically.
I think it’s good that if you expect a certain meta you can tune your deck to beat it. (Ben Brode)

Just curious. Are Hearthstone employees allowed to play ranked games? What if one accidentally qualifies for BlizzCon haha?
Yes, but they can’t qualify. (Ben Brode)

Community Spotlight: City Cards

This is a fan creation and is not official cards which are coming into the game. Just for fun!

We're already seeing some great new threads in the Fan Creations forum we put up this week! RevutionaryArtillery has created some unique card concepts that revolve around various cities in Warcraft. Cities are cards which have no attack value and have a unique card interactions. What do you think?

New Patching Method

You may have noticed a download today when you started up your Hearthstone client and got into the game. This added the January Card Back to the client.

Quote from Zeriyah

Some of you might have noticed a new “downloading files” notification for Hearthstone. 

We wanted to let you know that this update was applied as part of a test we performed for a new, more agile method of patching. The downloaded files themselves made no alterations to Hearthstone gameplay. 

We’ll always do our best to make sure you know about important changes to Hearthstone in advance. We’ll see you at the Inn!

Missing Friends Issue

If your friends list appears blank in-game, you're not the only one. If you do have this problem, you respond to the thread on the official forums.

Quote from Rolkyr

We are currently looking into an issue where players are having their friends list appear blank. If you are currently experiencing this issue, please post below to let us know. As well, please do not attempt any "fixes" for resolving the issue. This will help us in further investigating the matter and coming up with a resolution. Thanks!

Do you guys have any friends that appear blank or show as "retrieving details/info” in any other games?
