You can’t get a duplicate of any rarity until you’ve collected as many of the cards in that rarity as you can legally play (so 1 of every legendary, 2 of everything else). And it’s retroactive, too.

Does this count golden cards as well? I got a golden Willow which is obviously a pretty easy disenchant. Will I not be able to get another Willow until I've got at least one of the other legendaries in the set or do Golden cards not count for that?

I'm running a similar list but with kings and authority, no barov, pharaoh's, or aldor. I think Pharaoh's is the only incorrect card there. Kings fits better, it plays more like a tempo deck. You want to get buffs out quickly so you can braggart. I've been running one pride as well to fish for braggart, such a good card.

Tried a Quest Druid deck with Runic Carvings, and it worked surprisingly well in the one game I played where I outvalued a priest. It turns out that if you play Runic Carvings on an empty board after you've activated the Osiran Tear, then you'll summon 4 regular treant totems and then 3 treant totems with rush. I thought it would be just 4 treant totems with rush based on the wording, but it's two separate effects. You get overloaded 2, I presume even if you have 3 or more minions on the board and can't summon any with rush... they should, in keeping with the spirit of optimizing Choose One cards to give you the effects in the best order, reverse this unless they remove overload if you don't put any rush ones on the board.

I found a bug with runic carvings.
I had the hunter side quest summon 3 rush minions off of a trick totem. Used runic carvings to summon totems with rush and they didn't trigger the quest. Normally rush minions from spells work for that side quest.

The rush minions from spells have rush innately on their cards, if you copied them to your hand somehow they’d still have rush. The treant totems get a buff from the spell that gives them rush, if you silenced them or bounced them they wouldn’t keep the rush.

I came to my senses and put 2 Tour Guides in and they’ve fit flawlessly. I think one neferset thrasher is perfect because it’s such a good card on turn 3. I think that the 1 mana 1/4 neutral is too expensive in terms of life (you’re paying a minimum of 4 health to play them and you can’t run them into anything too beefy) and I think that soulciologist is too expensive.

I also am a firm believer that soulfire should be a 2 of in every zoo deck despite what VS says

Been having a lot of fun dumpstering druids

Thanks for posting this.

I took it Diamond 5 as well, now I feel like I can experiment a little more with other decks. I did replace the Scrap Imps because I often had a small hand and was typically landing the buff on 1-2 minions. I replaced them with 2 Transfer Student, which are always great on curve.

I kept the Voidwalkers. Was going to replace Kanrethad, but decided to keep playing with him since I couldn't figure out a replacement, and some games I'd coin him out, and dump 2 more 1 mana demons.

So weird bug to keep in mind if you're playing War Crimes Priest: When you use Wave of Apathy+Cabal Acolyte to steal a Spellburst minion the icon will dissapear from the minion but the Spellburst is still there. In my case it was Speaker Gidra, not sure if it's exclusive to her.

EDIT: By the way be careful using Mindbender Illucia in that deck, you've got a lot of 0 cost spells the opponent could waste with your hand. Also they'll draw a card from your deck.

The same thing happens if someone with spellburst gets buffed from a not-spell, it seems like the twinkling on the card indicating that it’s buffed makes the icon disappear

I'm 50/50 on whether I should flex Convincing Infiltrator for the 4/5 Invoke Taunt minion. Otherwise, Sphere of Sapience is a really nice card (as I expected). I don't understand why more people aren't playing it, it's amazing in control/midrange matchups and not an entirely dead draw in aggro either. Illucia continues to be a great card that I'm sure I'm loving up every time I use it.

So Mindrender is busted with at least Galakrond. I was playing control priest mirror match, and I mindrendered the turn after I knew he drew Galakrond from Kronx. I played his Galakrond, and then the decks swapped at the end of his turn, but they swapped a second time, leaving me perma stuck with his hand and deck.

Lots of people reporting this, just watch out: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/i52x4m/found_a_bug_already_with_new_priest_legendary/

I had the same bug happen against a rogue where I swapped decks and used his gala. The warcrimes priest has gotten me more rage quits than any other deck I have ever played even tons when they are at full HP. I am managing around a 55% win rate with it in the diamond 4-5 bracket. The only deck I get auto stomped by is some variants of hunter and the occasional aggro deck.

I cut Mindreader Illucia from War Crimes Priest because having Plague of Death in the same deck doesn't work very well, and there aren't many combo decks right now. Swapped it with Madame Luzul but that's personal preference.
