BIG HEADLINE posted:I think I said one not-even-very-negative thing on Toast's channel once and earned a lifetime chat ban.

If you missed Disguised Toast's HS streaming days, repeat that ad nauseam. What does he play now-a-days? Did he move along with the autochess crowd, or playing stuff like Legends of Runeterra?

He got paid some preposterous sum of money to stream on Facebook exclusively. No one has ever watched Facebook streaming so what he is doing these days will remain a mystery.

They also just reworked Zoobot and Managerie Magician to be any 3 types of minions instead of specific. That'll be a good help for mech/demon/pirates

You know what the best thing about everyone playing control decks in wild and odd DH being dead towards the end of season is? Having a mill rogue deck. Nothing quite like watching raza and shadow reaper burn.

Never got an answer to this when I asked it before - when's the last minute for buying the x-pack? Usually I've already bought in by now but I'm waiting until the last minute possible because of Google Opinion Reward credit - if I can get ~$30 off the big pack,  .Julio Cruz posted:yeah that's just ridiculously good There's no way that's not getting eventually nerfed to "When you kill a player, discover one of their minions." The big question would be then if that would apply to already-dead players.

It's a max of six free minions, most of the time they're not going to be in your comp, and the early ones aren't going to be that great anyway. I don't think it's bottom tier or anything but it's not busted.

Just a heads up that the new board is in the game. If you play transfer student onto that board (battlecry: gain a dual class card) it doesn't do anything yet. Still won, but playing a straight 2 mana 2/2 was not a great experience

So I'm wondering - provided you buy the 'big pack' if what you should ideally do is open five normal packs, then open the five golden packs for another guaranteed golden legendary. ...provided you don't get it in your first five packs. >.> You could also reserve the golden packs for when you're on a bad run and getting close to the 40 pack pity trigger.

I’ve never done better than the 1:20 legendary pull rate, but I really hope I get close to the average this time since a lot of the legendaries are required for experimenting. I went 2 expansions in a row where I averaged a legendary every 34 packs. At the same time, I have been fortunate with my below average number of legendaries at least tending to be the good/highly used ones. My very first pull was Dr. Boom in GVG, and since then I’ve avoided almost all of the meme legendaries.

Keymaster Alabaster for certain. I'm not sold on Lorekeeper Polkeit either although I bet that there's some super toxic Druid deck that can use it. Ilucia is interesting and certainly better than some of the other "weird Priest poo poo" legendaries from the past (hello Temporus) but I don't think it's actually good. Archwitch Willow sucks because there's no meaningful demons for it right now. Rattlegore is too slow. Speaker Gidra also seems not great but I don't play Shaman, I might be totally off-base there. However, that's just about it. Everything else seems to have some quality use case, even if they're not build-arounds or game-enders. 19/25 ain't bad IMO. Special note on Turalyon, which is that it's good in exactly Duel Paladin - which certainly used to be a full meme deck, but I'm honestly not sure about that anymore. There's a few others that are only going to live in T3/T4 decks as well but I expect they'll still see meaningful amounts of play.

I think Turyalon can find a place in some Pure Paladin lists to be honest. Lack of efficient Single Target removal is one of the decks biggest weaknesses, now you don't have to waste an equality effect to kill a Kalecgos or something for example.

Chernabog posted:Is the scry orb a legendary? That would probably go to most slow decks. Wish I could dual wield that and Aluneth. I find it genuinely interesting that a lot of cards in this expansion seem genuinely more targeted to shake up the wild meta. (polkeit for instance I suspect will be a key enabler for Paladin Holy Wrath to re-emerge... Becomes very very easy to suddenly blap for 25/20... And that priest legendary is literally 'gently caress your combo deck').

Olpainless posted:You know what the best thing about everyone playing control decks in wild and odd DH being dead towards the end of season is? I still see a lot of Pirate Warrior but yes, that's the only deck left that really can't be hurt by Mill Rogue so you may be on to something. Streamer talk - I think Kibler is by the far the most interesting mainstream streamer (hur) but Dane is also good and they should include him for any cards that seem particularly relevant for Wild. Speaking of Wild - Spreading Plague crashes the game after the latest patch. Not sure what the win/loss outcome of that is (I assume a 'draw') but in theory it means Druids can't lose now since they can chose to cancel the game (most Druid decks run 2xSP). I absolutely hate facing combo decks, but that new Priest Legendary is a disaster. I wouldn't have minded if they had printed a Neutral card with a similar effect but much bigger downside.

Olpainless posted:Wish I could dual wield that and Aluneth. I think you're right. There's also Totem Goliath, which summons all 4 basic totems when it dies. So you play it with the 5 mana minions that summons Al'Akir when you have all basic totems, after you crashed Totem Goliath in your enemy's minion. It's nice if they care a bit about wild. A while back I wrote a big post about how Ashes of Outland felt pretty good from a flavor perspective, so many cards clearly being inspired by Burning Crusade, Warlords of Draenor and Legion. And I have to give Blizz props again, they nailed the Scholomance setting. You have Kel'thuzad, the Barovs, Krastinov, Gandling, Lilian Voss, etc. Some cards are a bit strange (like the Botani, or Turalyon), but I'm overall pretty satisfied with what we got.

Firebat was playing an interesting deck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpR00MF_2Dw It's Quest Lackey Warlock that uses Soul fragments for healing and to speed up your draw. Not sure how good it'll be but it's fun at least.

Oh god yeah, I forgot about that monster. The new spell totem is pretty nice too. Wild Totem Shaman is going to be a force to reckon with, with that lovely early aggro from Totem Golem and Nightmare Amalgam straight into big hitting stuff like that. Edit: Also, seeing as I like playing Buff Paladin anyway (and it seems to be doing better, again, now Odd Demon Hunter is dead and buried!), the new +8 buff and legendary are pretty interesting looking. Technically anti-synergy with Lynessa for the legend, but not much, and it helps get and maintain that early board presence until you roll people over with a tonne of big divine shield minions.

One game Mr. Bigglesworth trip report: So I'm just grabbing whatever is around, no clear comp. I get a triple Kaboom Bot, and a Baron, so that's decent. First discover, all murlocs. One is golden. I grab the golden. GOLDEN GIVES YOU THE DISCOVER CARD STILL. I get a Kangor's off this. Next discover, GOLDEN KABOOM BOT. Second Kangor. Next discover, GOLDEN GOLDGRUBBER. Next discover, I grab a solo unupgraded spawn because I had two, so GOLDEN SPAWN. Meanwhile, I grab two more Baron's off regular rolls, so now I have all that and a golden Baron.

At the risk of jinxing myself, I checked my stats and my average pack openings per legendary so far have been (I only started tracking late into Frozen Throne): Kobolds: 13 (194 packs total) Witchwood: 15 (223) Boomsday: 16 (218) Rastakhan: 9 (yes, nine, that was crazy) (157) Shadows: 11 (226) Uldum: 23 (234) Dragons: 15 (243) Ashes: 15 (185) Classic: 21 (242 packs total) I still have this creeping suspicion that bundle packs have a slightly tweaked legendary rate. All except Uldum have been noticeably below the 20 pack average. Classic has my second highest packs per legendary quota.
