I look forward to your comments and additions in the comments! Let's make the most complete Hearthstone dictionary together!
Hearthstone slang is a mix of slang from the games in the series Warcraft, Magic: The Gathering and old ancient Uryuk, which began in CBT (closed beta). Where did all these hunts, priests and locks come from? Everything is simple. A game you probably haven't heard of (just kidding) World of Warcraft was originally without the support of the Russian language. The Russian language officially appeared there 4 years later in 2008 after the release in 2004. But people who, before the newcomers, decided to imagine themselves as experts, continued to communicate in English terms, but in Russian letters.
The newcomers took it as an insult to their psyche and began to cry about incomprehensible terms and abbreviations that defy ordinary logic. The fact is that those who wanted to appear oldfags to the newcomers began to unsuccessfully adopt the vocabulary of the established boys. The stupidity of both consisted in the dumbest intransigence.
What should have been done? After the release of the Russian version World of Warcraft adherents of the original had to stay on European or American servers, and those who switched had to start communicating with each other in normal Russian Aschenval language. The anger of this dispute could extinguish ordinary dictionary terms and a more tolerant attitude of both sides towards each other. That's all.
No, they started the Vine, what with what ... Ashenval began to be called Ashenvale Forest and away we go. I was a witness to all this - I have been playing WoW since May 2005 (casually). XS is based on WoW lore, so most of the terms migrated from there to here.
Dictionaries were, are and will be. I offer my version, which will be updated. I want to feel like a Dalem of the 21st century. 🙂
Terms
AOE- (from the English area of effect - "impact on the area") - the property of a skill, spell, item, etc. affect not a specific target, but a certain area, affecting all (or a certain number) of characters located in this area.
Exodia / Exodia- a type of decks whose winning conditions are absolutely independent of the opponent's state of affairs. You just need to meet certain conditions for the opponent to be defeated. A striking example is the deck of a paladin who needs to collect 4 cards of the Black Riders on the board in order to destroy an opponent. A large layer of such decks appeared in The Boomsday Project with the advent of the Mecha-C'Thun card. Compliance with the conditions of his death rattle leads to the death of the opponent. The mage deck on the task with Antonidos, when the enemy is shot with endless Fireballs, can be attributed to the same decks.
This archetype is named after mechanics card game Yu Gi Oh, where in case of collecting all 5 monster parts Exodia the player automatically wins the match.
GG- (from English good game - good game) is usually pronounced after a match, when the game was fair and exciting, regardless of the result.
Handlock- a deck of a warlock on giants.

This was originally an emote on twitch.tv that depicted an evil orc. It was usually used by commentators when a streamer hit an opponent in the face.
Tier- (from English - level). Deck/archetype or class power level. Decks are divided into the following power levels:
- Tier S- super decks that break and build for themselves most of the meta.
- Tier 1- well-optimized decks containing effective and powerful combinations and synergies. Losing to such decks looks helpless and unfair.
- Tier 2- competitive decks that have multiple weaknesses(like the return of cards or the sequence of drawing them from the deck). However, they can beat higher class decks with additional customization.
- Tier 3- mid-level decks that are neither bad nor good. They are not optimized enough to be among the meta favorites.
- Tier 4- controversial decks that don't have their own charm, can be narrow-profile or already used material. To win over decks high level requires a deep understanding of the role of each card in the deck.
- Tier 5- funny decks. Used for enjoyment gameplay not for the sake of winning.
UTH (Unleash The Hounds)- the hunter's spell "Let the dogs down."

buff— a positive effect, temporarily or permanently imposed on the character.

However, instead of stretching new card his hero takes damage calculated by the formula arithmetic progression: damage(n) = damage(n-1) + 1 , where n - the number of the card drawn after the onset of the fatigue stage.
Finisher- A card that is usually used to finish off an opponent's hero.
fake- fake. Most often, fake versions of alleged new cards are published in Hearthstone. Now there are many online editors that allow you to concoct any map without Photoshop that will not stand out from the design of the game.
highlander- (from English highlander - highlander). An archetype of decks that work on mechanics based on the Reno principle. Those. you need to make a deck of 30 unique cards no repeats. The list of cards in the deck is long, which served as a slang comparison with a high mountain.
Hype- hype, excitement (from the English hype). Often associated with the PR of some professional Hearthstone players or the hype around some of the archetypes that roam the meta.
Hunt, hunter- hunter (from English hunter).
hater- (from the English hate - hatred). A creature that viciously minuses all notes / videos of the author, regardless of their quality. The reasons are simple: personal dislike for the author, the intrigues of competitors, schizoness, the desire to express oneself at the expense of others or to attract attention to oneself.
