I just got passed Gold 1 with Tempo Demon Hunter. After a 4-game losing streak last night, rattled off 3 wins before bed, then 3 wins today to finally reach Platinum 10. Final match was against Priest who I had been having trouble with the whole tier, but ended up drawing into a real high tempo hand and having all the removal I needed to get rid of his weapons. My goal this season was to get up to Gold 5 since I try to limit myself to three games a day, so real happy at the progress I made.

Think I will give up on this pirate warrior thing. It's the deck me or the meta but I'm always one turn short. Interested in Highlander hunter but not too thrilled about crafting 3 more legendaries. Maybe I'll just go back to face hunter. Also re: all the priests. Ya people are monsters I've run into a disproportional number from diamond 5 to D1.

Made it to Diamond 2 with Pirate Warrior yesterday (thanks Anaconda for the guide), going to try climbing some more today after some work meetings. I played with my wild Galvadon deck last night, and it almost seems like the buff to Aldor Attendant has rendered the quest obsolete. It's [edit: the Attendant] a better one drop in many cases and enables rapid buffing of minions while the quest seems clunky and, while easy to complete, I never really used Galvadon and would have done better with something else in my opening hand. Maybe it would work better only keeping the quest against slower decks and mulliganing it against faster ones? Just treat that quest as a mid-late game one-off Learn Draconic.

Can I just bitch about how you don't get quest progression if you concede before the opponent has lethal on board or whatever the exact criteria is.

For April fools they should have a brawl that is literally just a coin toss. Or "whoever plays the coin wins the game". No gold awards for wins, obviously.

MinionOfCthulhu posted:Holy crap, this week’s Brawl is awful I had two Barista Lynchens in my opening hand. My opponent played Three 'The Darkness's. By Turn 4 I had an infinite loop of 0 cost Barista to fill my hand and board over and over. Good brawl. Also what's up with not being able to pay with in-game gold right now? Just felt like playing an Arena and I can't pay with gold.

I like Cloneball as a Brawl - usually you've got an easy win in a game or two, and it's fun to get situations like being able to counter my opponent's cheap Harbinger Celestia with a chain of free Zola the Gorgons

Snazzy Frocks posted:i think (completed) turn 7 is the cutoff in matchmaking It's ambiguous. I've been in several situations where my opponent had obvious lethal on the board and I had no way out but it was still my turn 7 and I had well over 15 health (happens when you get bad draws and your opponent gets a nut draw). Conceding in this case means you don't get credit. Even ending turn and waiting for the opponent's draw will not get you credit - if you want it, you have to suffer the ignominy of being rammed down to 0.

Argh, forgot to check in again and clear my quest log before a new one is added. How long do I have to play a game before I can get quest credit? Edit: literally on this page I’m sick of going against rogues who have to consider dozens of lackeys and other cards every single turn.

If solarian prime casts yoggbox do the yogg spells prioritize enemies? Because I just had solarian cast 2 yoggs back to back and all the spells were in my favor

I’m assuming he is talking about Galakrond Priest, which is the only viable priest deck right now. Matches take as long as res-priest, but every game plays out differently since it’s a purely rng deck.

Snazzy Frocks posted:If solarian prime casts yoggbox do the yogg spells prioritize enemies? Because I just had solarian cast 2 yoggs back to back and all the spells were in my favor I *think* no, because casting yogg via Solarian opens up another queue of spells that are handled completely separately from Solarian and thus should not follow the same rules, as queues are impossible to change once set in motion. If, however, it is coded in a way that simply says that all spells following out of the initial queue coming out of Solarian is focused on the enemy, that may be possible. Might depend on how cleanly Blizzard coded this or if they specifically wanted a box to also follow Solarian's preference, as purely mechanically it shouldn't.

It still uses a lot of resurrect cards but it has other targets and more spells for removal. idk I'm not even sure that's what was being talked about but I played it like 3 times yesterday and decided I don't like Hearthstone for now. Edit: Maybe it is Galakrond

Is there just a normal minion/tempo based dragon priest? Galapriest and Rez priest are just such passive slogs to play (and play against). I figure a galakrond based dragon priest might be playable to knock out some of these priest quests.

Not dragon priest but a tempo priest list has been kicking around since the nerfs, has very favourable matchups vs the meta https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveHS/comments/glzpls/tempo_buff_priest_d5_to_legend/

I play a budget version of the Tempo Priest in Casual to knock out Priest quests and it's quite fun. Won a match after one of my buffed minions got Polymorphed into a sheep, and I just kept buffing and cloning the sheep.

Here's what I came up with to knock out my quest. Much more minion focused and interesting than the better priest decks. Generates a lot of extra priest minions to shove onto the board and has a couple support spells. A priest deck for people who hate playing priest. ### Custom Priest # Class: Priest # Format: Standard # Year of the Phoenix # # 2x (1) Cleric of Scales # 2x (1) Disciple of Galakrond # 1x (1) Renew # 2x (2) Dragonmaw Sentinel # 1x (2) Grandmummy # 2x (3) Apotheosis # 2x (3) Breath of the Infinite # 2x (3) Dragonmaw Overseer # 2x (4) Devoted Maniac # 2x (4) Fate Weaver # 2x (4) Holy Nova # 1x (5) Chronobreaker # 1x (5) Psyche Split # 2x (5) Shield of Galakrond # 2x (5) Time Rip # 1x (6) Kronx Dragonhoof # 1x (7) Galakrond, the Unspeakable # 2x (7) Skeletal Dragon # AAECAZ/HAgatpQPcrAPjtAOTugOWugPIwAMMyQbXrAParAPyrAP+rgOqrwPNrwOYtgOvugO4ugPpugPYwgMA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone
