Deck Spotlight: Midrange Hunter
Our resident Hunter deck master Sparkaz brings us an updated Midrange Hunter deck, one which is going to see the addition of some Blackrock Mountain Dragons!
The deck was created by combining the strengths of Spark's Snake Bite and Death Trap, and then seeing how it could be upgraded via the new Blackrock Mountain cards. Spark wants to update the deck by making the following changes:
- Week 4: 2x Piloted Shredder to 2x Hungry Dragon
- Week 5: 1x Stranglethorn Tiger to 1x Volcanic Drake
At just under 3,000 dust, most of which gets eaten up by Dr. Boom, this deck is extremely affordable for any Hearthstone player. Head on over to the deck guide to learn more about this great deck, especially to learn about the Blackrock Mountain card replacements, or check out the deck below to start crafting right away.

Our eleventh card design competition is well underway over on the fan creations forum, and our topic this week is Deck & Hand Interactions.
If you'd like to enter for your chance at a sweet avatar border, your card must contain the word Deck and/or Hand in the card effect text, and can be any class, any mana cost, and any card type. A couple of examples of cards currently in the game that fit the theme are:
- Deck: Malorne, Gang Up, Sense Demons
- Hand: Clockwork Giant, Sap, Echo of Medivh
You have until Midnight GMT on Wed 8th April (4pm Pacific Time on Tues 7th) to submit your entries over in the submission thread, and while you're there, go vote on your favourites. Good luck to all who enter, and if you'd like you discuss the entries, you can do so in the discussion thread. Remember, only one card entry per person.
Sylvanas Lore Spotlight
Get to learn more about Sylvanas' history with a video from our friends at Gamepedia! Check it out below.
Amaz in Hearthstone!
When he isn't topping view counts on Twitch, or playing in every tournament possible, one of our beloved Hearthstone community members, Amaz, is recording voices for some of Hearthstone's new cards.
The Blizzard Taiwan YouTube channel uploaded a video of Amaz giving his voice to the Chinese translation of the game for Imp Gang Boss, Axe Flinger, and Steamwheedle Sniper. Check out the video below to listen to the card voices and him answering a couple of questions.
It is nice for ppl like me (almost no knowladge of WOW universe) to see those kind of videos about the lore behind the characters, keep it up!!! ;-)
Two mad scientists for only 3 secrets? I don't know if that's worth it...the rest looks quite good though.
It's the perfect ratio. You don't want to end up with secrets that you have to spend mana on when there's so many other things to spend mana on.
How fun would it be to officially be the voice for some Hearthstone cards. Count me in Blizzard!
I totally agree. The only card, which I think is kind of odd to see is Stranglethorn Tiger - and that's not a very exciting choice that brings any innovation to the deck over all. With new cards being released every week now, there should be decks featured, utilizing those cards. I experimented with Grim Patron Warrior the last few days and also saw a few attempts from fellow players on ladder. Being centered around a new card bringing a new style of play, I'd have loved to see a (semi) viable version spot lighted.
It's cool that Blizzard do that kind of thing for popular streamers.
A bit more of recognition for him, thats nice. Go, Amaz! :)
Not like he needs it though.
Exactly.
Sylvanas!!! <3
Although I can't listen to Amaz for too long, this made me laugh ;)
