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!

The very first card design competition is underway over on the Fan Creations forum, and our topic for this week is Hero Power Interactions.

It's easy to enter! Simply create a card which interacts with hero powers, and submit your creation to this thread. Once you've done that, go through and give feedback to other card creators, and be sure to vote on your favourites by hitting the up arrow on posts which have cards you like.

You have until January 29th to enter, and the winner will get bragging rights and get to choose one of the future card creation topics. So what are you waiting for, go create a card!

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)
