Blasmeister posted:Whether to get a tavern pass this time round or not is gonna be a hard decision though, I’m at 153 on the current track which is very close to the break even point for ‘will it pay for itself’, but I dunno if I’m gonna be able to keep up the above average playtime pace of this expansion plus throwing the money down on day 1 means I’ll have less gold for packs up front. Yeah, I'm really not sure what I'm going to do either. I need to find some sort of "they did the math" post. What exactly is the level I need on a Tavern Pass for it to pay itself off in gold/packs? I also need to consider the 10/20% XP boost I'd have if I owned it as well. What do I lose out on if I get 60pk bundle + Tavern Pass vs. Mega Bundle? I'm at a bit of an awkward gold amount too, with about 11k in Gold. Not sure if I'm better off buying Tavern Pass with Gold or cash if I went down the 60pk+Pass route and wanted to finish at "I don't need every card but want to be able to play most of the meta-decks and have at least 1 good deck per class" This will be the first expansion I've played properly since the "no dupes" update to card packs (I've just been buying random packs since returning at the start of the year to the point that I've got about 115/135 of each the current standard sets). Whats the math on how many pack I need to open to get a full non-legendary set (which will presumably give me, what? Half of the legendaries?)

Why are 90% of the class legendaries Original Characters Doughnut Steal? I like how DMF had warcraft characters for most of the legendaries, but maybe I'm an outlier. E: even Mordesh Fire-Eye is like "oh hey I remember that dude"

Diamonds cards are what golden cards should've been from the start. Olpainless posted:Pretty much. Diamond cards don't come from packs.

I’ll make it easy for you, if you are thinking of spending money on Hearthstone, don’t. It’s a free game. There, I’m glad we got that settled.

The post I remember seeing here a few weeks ago was the next tavern pass would pay for itself in XP boosted gold if you played enough to reach level 160 without a pass by the end of the season this time round (or level 200 with one) assuming equivalent playtime etc.

Maybe it works like Trueaim Crescent and since it's a Battlecry Attack, it can technically attack twice on the same turn. Not sure, someone could probably test this against the AI with a Broomstick.

Somehow I just died on turn 8 as patches despite getting two goldens and the +2 per golden pirate because everyone I fought hit the absolute nuts such as milhouse. I am supposed to be the early/mid game hero that wrecks people how the gently caress did I die turn loving 8? The odds of that happening when I got that good of luck myself have to be worse than 1 in a million what the gently caress?

Very curious about it.

The core set is what we currently call the "basic" set which you get for free from leveling up the classes. You don't get anything for your cards rotating out. If you will never ever play wild/duels then it might be ok to dust them, nobody really knows.

All Core Set cards are free loaner cards. If you ever want to play any non-Standard constructed format, keep the real copies of the cards in your collection. That's it.

The mage legendary seems fine, not sure how often things will already be frozen for the damage component though. I'll be happy to see it from font of power, but I'll still be playing spell only cthun mage.

RatHat posted:Diamonds cards are what golden cards should've been from the start. Ahh, I didn't type what I meant clearly. Because the first diamond card will ALWAYS be Blademaster Sakuro, if you don't already have that card when you purchase a pass and unlock it, then you've been able to make sure you get Blademaster Sakuro as one of your legendaries - and Diamond still counts for bad luck protection, so you won't unpack a regular or golden Sakuro until you have every other legendary. It does make it a little easier to complete the set as it's a forced legendary, but ONLY IF you haven't already unpacked a Sakuro! Diamond Brukan DOESN'T offer the same 'bonus' because the unlock is that you have every other legendary, so it doesn't have the same incentive. I guess it's worth 400/1600 dust when you get it because you can melt down your non diamond? RatHat posted:
This is pretty good. And yeah, if you slam poisonous on this, it's pretty much just a win. gandlethorpe posted:RE: freeze ... think I'm gonna have to try a full-on Wild freeze mage now. I'm pretty sure there's more than enough ways to ensure the opponent's board never, ever moves at this rate and throw damage straight to face. Still probably lose to big priest though!

If you only plan to play Standard, you can dust your entire Classic set as this'll no longer be playable outside of Wild. The introduction of the Core set is the biggest dust windfall for Standard only players since rotations began. F2P Standard-only stays winning.

Very curious about it. Yeah, they've said already it's not a deckbuilder at all, so the only thing really pointing to Slay the Spire at all is the map. Regis had a video where he was speculating that it's probably more like Raid: Shadow Legends (ugh), where you're fighting with a few characters that have a few abilities each and you level up those abilities over runs.

Finicky card to use well in the deck it would naturally fit (aggro). Just a value card in control decks. I think it fits in that space of a card that on the face of it is "good" but hard to fit in to the top 30 cards of any archetype.

 I think I just heard the sound of every Kingsbane Rogue having an orgasm. Not sure how good it'll be in standard but seems decent. No weapons from the new set yet but Assassin's Blade and Self Sharpening sword are in and that might make Control Rogue a thing?
