So, I’ve been playing Hearthstone for a while, and I have an idea for a feature that could improve player interaction and add a new layer of respect between opponents. We all know that the “Well Played” emote can sometimes feel a bit ambiguous—sometimes it’s genuine, but it can also be used sarcastically. So, why not introduce a way for players to show real respect for each other’s decks?
I propose adding a button that allows players to request their opponent’s deck code after a match. If you’re impressed by their deck, you can send a request for them to share the code with you. Of course, players should have the option to decline for competitive reasons, and I think this feature should operate independent of the friend request system, but I think many would be willing to share, especially if they take it as a compliment that their deck caught someone’s attention.
This feature wouldn’t just make it easier to emulate a well-designed deck—it would add a new way to show respect and appreciation in a game that sometimes lacks meaningful interaction between players. After all, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery, and this could be a simple yet powerful way to promote positive interaction and community within the game.

Being able to pull that every match would really help the trackers have more accurate information, too.
Same, I don’t like that this game made counting cards a necessary skill. I need to see exactly how many minions a priest has so I know who she was doing the creation protocol infinite loop from tidepool pupils for, how she got it started so easily and if that was their only plan
Yeah, I often want to friend-request someone JUST to ask if I may have a deck code but 99% of the time, they never accept the friend request and I fear that is because they probably think I’m going to rage at them for losing or BM them if I had won.

I once did the entire steamed hams skit with a guy after a match, sometimes people are friendly when handed the microphone
Good idea, but I usually derive it from the replay, if the game went long enough.

I play the majority of my games, regardless of the mode, on mobile. I have no idea what you’re on about “the replay”. I’m assuming you’re talking about some third party program?

First good suggestion i see on those forums.
It’s true that on mobile you can’t see it. I see replays on the Desktop from Firestone.
It’s why I said “usually” (I also play on the phone or tablets if I kill time outside).
That feature would be cool for a few days, then a gimmick.
you can get an opponents deck from hsr.
That only works if they’re also using deck tracker, which many players are not. If they aren’t using deck tracker then all hsreplay will know is the card sit saw them play. It can and often does try to infer the remaining cards based off logical assumptions from the current meta, but it has no way of knowing if the list is accurate or not. Many players change a few cards too, and if the tracker doesn’t see those altered cards and they aren’t using tracker too then the “guessed” list you see will be wrong.

For most practical intends and purposes it’s meaningless to know the whole deck. The usual situation is you see a few cards played well and those are the cards that interest you. Those will usually direct you to a netdeck and if that opponent has different cards it’s not of concern to you since since they didn’t play them it means they might even be worse than the netdeck.
