New Features Coming to Hearthstone - Quest with Friends & Deck List Importing
Soon you're going to be able to import and export decks from Hearthstone, and more importantly, complete quests by playing games with your friends! Golden cards will also now stack with normal ones on your deck lists.
- We will support the deck list features here on HearthPwn.
- According to Daxxarri, the upcoming patch will not remove the 500 cap on class wins. That's still further out.
- Ben Brode clarified that the collection itself will still show separate goldens and normals. The new tech is only for deck lists.
Quote from BlizzardHearthstone’s upcoming update has a lot of cool stuff in it, but we wanted to call special attention to a couple of features that we’re particularly excited about. We think you’ll like them too!
Friends Forever
When the new Hearthstone update arrives, you’ll be able to complete quests in Friendly Challenges! Just issue a Friendly Challenge to someone on your Friends list and rack up credit for nearly any quest you can receive.
Last year, the Friendly Feud allowed players to complete quests when they played with a friend. You gave us a ton of positive feedback about that event, and a lot of you asked us to have Friendly Feuds more often. We thought that was a good idea, so we took it a step further!
There are some minor caveats. For example, any quests that can’t be completed as part of a Friendly Challenge aren’t eligible, such as those that require you to play vs The Innkeeper or watch a match. Most everything else is fair game though, so now you’ll have a reason to make friends with a recent opponent that isn’t just to send them a compliment.
Sharing is Caring
You’ll soon be able to easily copy and share decklists with Deck Importing! No more screen shotting decklists, or staring at a web page as you carefully build a deck, card by card. Trying—and sharing—a new decklist will be as simple as copy and paste!
Here’s how it works:
If your deck is already full, when you select the Hero portrait at the top of a deck in your collection, you’ll see a Copy button*. Press that button and your decklist will be copied to your clipboard. If you paste your decklist into a text document, it will look like this:
See that conveniently highlighted ‘code’ near the bottom? That code also works on its own, making it easier to share a decklist with friends in chat or social media.
Importing a decklist is easy. When you go to create the new deck, Hearthstone will “know” when you’ve got a valid decklist on your clipboard, so you’ll be asked if you’d like to create a new deck with the one you’ve got copied. Then you can watch your new deck be built before your eyes. You can also import decklists to Tavern Brawls!
Don’t have all the cards a deck requires? No worries! In that case, it works just like a deck recipe. Any cards you don’t already own will appear insubstantial and you can select them for suggested replacements. You might also notice that your golden and non-golden cards now stack in decklists too!
Deck Importing is great for finding and sharing new decks, but it’s also helpful for managing your library of decks. Save the code for decklists you rarely use, and when you’re ready to play one again, just copy and import it.
The new update including these features will arrive in the coming weeks. We’re super excited about them, and we can’t wait to hear what you think!
now please can we have the statistic, win|lose ratio for every deck and in total ??
anyway nice to have something more
They don't want people to realize they paid to get a 30% win rate and quit the game. If you want to track your win rate, you'll have to do it yourself.
Still no auto-squelch? That should be at the top of the list as literally everyone wants it.
Is it really that hard to right click, then left click at the start of a match (or tap twice on mobile)?
I'm not saying this wouldn't be a nice feature to just set and then not have to see/hear all the smug messages. But honestly this is something that has a reasonably easy workaround. You can literally squelch any opponent in 2 clicks. Again, it would certainly be nice if they put this in, and it seems like it shouldn't be all that difficult, but if I had to choose between this and any *new* features we do not already have, I'd keep on manually squelching.
While I do like the Friends addition... This seems like fluff to me. I am hoping to see a stat based release. View games played, win ratios, average rank, best deck-type, etc.
Also, more in-game rewards and achievements.
I can finally just copy and paste a deck into the game! I know this is a useful tool which I will make use of.
Though I do wish they do one more thing with a option like this (more of a idea rather than a flaw). I know sometimes I play against a person and the deck they use looks amazing when they play it. Now sometimes I send a friend request just to ask them what deck they are using, but 9 times out 10 they're just going ignore the friend request (which I understand why).
All I would like to see is a request to see that deck. So if you requested it, that player can choose to send the deck recipe to that player or not.
You can always try DeckTracker. It does not only keep track of the cards in your deck, but also The cards in your opponent deck which you can later check in The "replay". I just love The replay function - The ability to watch your game again, evaluate your decisions and missplays is just awesome.
There is also a function to import decks from web pages using DT.
When I read "New features" I thought we finally get the tournament mode or win%, alternative ways to earn dust or something cool for constructed or arena.
Its a nice to have, but I dont really care about deck export or completing quests with friends (they are done via constructed pretty fast anyway).
Good for you guys, who are interested in this minor update, but why are you so happy? I mean these things are basic functions for other card games. Gather bread crums and be happy not to starve I guess

Primal accounts
This is a minor update that will bring us some great additional functionality. Why most of comments here are whine and wisecrack? Are you people just can't take what is given?
This is great news! It's good to see some new features in the game not only after major updates. Thanks Blizz.
They whine because they want more. Truth be told, Hearthstone is 3 years old and the updates were/are only about new cards or minor things like more deckslots or hero portraits. The only big update outside of expansions (and standard) is the tavern brawl gamemode. That's the type of update those whiny people want, something big and significant.
Nowadays there are quite a few card games on the market, and everyone's comparing them to hearthstone, so of course they want to make hearthstone the ultimate cardgame
[not whining, just clarifying]
As a player that creates absurd decks everyday (like beast priest or orcs only warrior) I have never had more desired feature than deck importing. Thank you Blizzard, you deserve a big hug from a healthy gnome. : )
What we really need is a custom match section !!
just like with starcraft and such where you create a lobby with custom rules !!
Yehey! I can finally easily complete quest with my only friend in HS... my smurf account :-)
What's a "friend"?
An alternate account used to unlock Morgl.
Did I miss something? where is the god dmn auto-squelch option!
