If the arena/bg/duels people prefer playing arena/bg/duels then let them, the quests for those are all re-rollable

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Yea a better compromise would have been to keep the guaranteed ranked wins quest every week, but allow it to be re-rollable to the lower XP weeklies (and keep it out of the pool of rerolls).

There are actually 8 different basic main game modes to choose from based on your preference, and people can play whatever they want and shouldn't be forced into ones they don't.

Anyone have advice on how to get 12 wins in duels? I heard low curve deathrattle hunter was good, but I just end up getting a bloated deck that doesn't do much and losing to random crap.

Discard warlock is insanely busted and I've never gone worse than 6 wins with it.

The deck you get for the last Garrosh challenge is such nonsensical hot garbage. I get that they’re trying to be thematic for the story moment, but why that gets interpreted as “give the player basically no wincons” is just...

Here is your minion base:

Two copies of the 1/1 stealth guy with the Jade Golem deathrattle. This is the entirety of the Jade package.
Two copies of the 4/4 that buffs a stealth minion. You have now seen the entirety of the stealth package.
Two copies of the 3/3 taunt that battlecry doubles its health. You have no hand buffs.
Two copies of the 5/1 Rager that copies a friendly minion’s health. Did I mention Thrall has Earthshock? He has Earthshock.
One copy of Xaril, because ??????

Oh, and two Idols of Y’shaarj. I repeat: Earth Shock.

You literally have to go face with Gorehowl a couple times to have the damage to win. Also once you kill six minions you lose the ability to equip Gorehowl, and instead rapidly draw all your minions to make your Idol useless. Have fun!

You'd think they'd give you some super busted fun cards but welp.

The Book of Heroes would be such a great opportunity to tell stories from the character's past that are wholely original and add fun cards, but for some insane reason they have exclusively chosen to tell stories based around the most reviled periods of WoW instead???

Thanks for this, cause I just went 12-0 with Warlock on my 2nd attempt. Wondered if I was gonna wash out when I blanked on the 2nd passive treasure (took the scrolls of wonder for over 2 complete do nothings) and got there despite it rolling me a 2nd turn renounce darkness in one match, balanced out by giving me a turn 1 force of nature in another match while I had Cannibalism.

Olpainless posted:

Arena is the only mode that has long-term appeal for me because Constructed is just repetitive. If you understand your own deck and recognise your opponent's, which 90% of the time you will almost card for card, then matchup and draw order is basically all that matters beyond marginal gains from better technical play. This is less the case if you play a clown fiesta deck, but they're hardly ever in the top-tier meta decks, so if you choose to play them you will probably lose a lot more.

It's real dumb to suggest you need to play Constructed to enjoy HS.

It was in Duels, started with this:

https://hearthstone-decks.net/hearthstone-duels-12-win-warlock-mind_malkavian-dark-arts-killmox/

Got Cannibalism as my first passive and from the swamp as my second. Picked up the Canopic Jars along the way. Had 7 Boneweb Eggs and 4 Silverware Golems in my deck by the end. Ended up at 11-3. Lost two in a row to the same Double Time Warlock.

Basically this. I played around a bit with some pure pally decks since they changed the quest system and it's painful how fast you start going "ok i'm playing against class x so they're probably doing y"

I don't mind there being quests for specific modes but having a regular quest locked to a particular mode I don't like is annoying. Hell, they removed the re-rollable arena quest from the pool presumably because people weren't happy with rolling into it.

Any cards you draw or create post-Passage stay in your hand at end of turn. While it's super funny to do it with Evocation and watch people concede after they realize what just happened, I mostly use it in Kingsbane Rogue.

Whirlkick is a fun looking deck - and it's interesting to see an epic that was a bit sidelined really get to shine now with the proper support.

There's a bug where 1 player becomes some sort of ultraghost. It'll be obvious if you look at their mouseover and they just keep facing the same opponent every turn. Their health will never change and they will sit in 1st forever.

Its a true Christmas miracle when a very "meh" card gets to shine on its last meta before rotation. It is a very fun deck.

On the opposite side since the nerfs, I loving hate Evolve Shaman. As always its dumb to play as and, at least at high diamond, it seems to be taking DH's spot of dominating the meta
