I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
Opened like 18 packs, one legendary, that priest one that hurts everything, gently caress priests I’m never playing one so I’m dusting this with an angry look on my face

Ok, so Book of the Dead is amazing, but when a 1%er shows up you just gotta take it.

I actually recovered from a rogue who played Wish. It took the arcane spell reduction + end of turn fire spell treasure to make flamestrike blow it away.

I'm trapped in a Duels hell world where everyone is playing this Priest deck because it's the most recent one listed on that site. If you thought Priest turns were interminable before, you ain't seen nothing yet.

And then my Puzzle Box gave me Hallazeal and played Avenging Wrath, and I got to witness what must be the slowest two-card animation interaction in all of Hearthstone.

edit : And this happened in my next game :



That's three minions with double Aegwynn buffs - each Ras was shooting for 13. Disks of Legend makes the best board states.

I think the 3 mana Watch post might actually be overpowered. Play it in any deck that isn't hyper aggro, it's good.

Olgra's found on their first draw: 3

So far I've played:
Secret Libram Paladin (3-2) it's fun and when it wins it wins extra hard, but definitely needs to be fine tuned
Beast Hunter (1-2) it's... not great. I felt like I always had something better to do on 3 than play Tavish, but the beasts may just need some changing
Hero Power Watchtower Mage (2-0) lmao this deck owns. Just discover wildfires and more wildfires and then demolish them with Mordresh.

This deck fucks. I didn't expect to climb to dad legend this month but made Diamond 9 to 5 in my lunch break. Two wins were against people conceding after letting my towers live for more than a turn.

Also played some DH with the new hero who is able to say Greetings. :v:

Sigils having their own icon is nice. Maybe they can expand on that mechanic.

I built up a board of 5 towers in a game earlier. They can get really snowbally fast if you start the game banging down a couple of the cost increasers and the opponent doesn't have an answer in hand. It can reach a point where you are countering everything passively and have loads of stats on the board.

Ok, give Jaraxxus another week to let people have their fun, then nerf him or some of Warlock's removal. It sucks they can play a deck that's like 24 removal spells, 4 Taunts, Jaraxxus, and the new merc that gives you a free copy of half the removal.

My impressions so far:

Hero power mage (7-0): My most successful deck so far. It is basically tempo with as many ways to discover wildfire as possible.
Elemental shaman: (2-1): If It draws well it can stay on the board and threaten with windfury, but if it doesn't then it is very underwhelming.
Secret/tempo rogue(2-1): Meh. Same old stuff.
Nature/taunt druid: (6-2): Surprisingly doing pretty well. It can win with big dudes, geryboughception or with a Yogg as a last resort.
Sacrifice zoo-ish lock: (2-4): I had high expectations for this one but it always seems to fall short, maybe I just had a few bad games or need to go more aggro.
Spell priest (1-1): Haven't played it too much to form an opinion.

Can you post your Hero Power mage deck? I'm messing around with something similar and would love to take a look.

Put this Nazi-lover on ignore immediately!
I'm doing pretty well with spell mage right now. There's not a ton of new additions, but Flurry, Refreshing Spring Water and Runed orb all feel very good, and I'm surprised how much nicer Flamestrike feels at 5 vs. 4. The "can't discover core cards" bug yesterday was really hurting the deck when you cast the corrupted secret discovery card (since it was limited to a pool of 3), but it seems to have been fixed.

I'm surprised how often I wish I could use a Flame Ward though, I never thought all that much of that secret but you definitely notice when it's gone.

Here's what I'm using. Stole some streamers list but I don't have Solarian nor Evocation, maybe I'll buy some more Outlands packs or spend some dust down the line.

Also missing Potion of Illusion so I put a second Coldarra and Scorpid.

Not sold on Runthak, though.

Token Druid is good for right now, during the quirky unestablished meta.

I went from D7 ish to D1 losing one game, then had some ups and downs of several games at D1 before hitting legend.

Sometimes as a turn 10 if I don't have Mordresh, pinging 6 or 8 to face. Other times on turn 6 for tempo but I can see them not being essential.

Lost my streak at Diamond 2. :allears:

I’m falling back on my old reliable strategy of new expansion launch -> jam the OP neutrals into whatever but it actually wins somehow? There’s basically no silence or sap effects in the meta so eventually you’re just putting down massive board after massive board that they can’t clear without resetting the board or taking a ton of damage to the face.

On that note, Teacher’s Pet feels very very strong at the moment, the rotation helped the 3 cost beast slot immensely; owl can still low roll you and the 3/3 pack kodo isn’t exciting but otherwise you have Zixor, Mukla, 4/2 stealth, 4/3 can’t be targeted, two poison minions, the two hunter deathrattle 3 drops, and the 3/4 elekk

yeah I think it must have been, I was thinking if it had been discounted it'd show up in the sidebar with the new cost, but apparently not

usually I hate playing aggro decks but Secret Pally is a lot of fun, what are people's thoughts on Galloping Savior? I started off without it but I've just added it in because it's easy to run out of secrets if you draw both your swords early, and it feels much better than Goody Two-Shields which I cut for it

It looks like every egg is hatching twice. The first time it hatches it gets the dye buffs, but the second time it hatches it just becomes a 1/3 with no buffs. So, not the most riveting of tavern brawls.

Should have been auto-include in pre-release theorycrafting lists, and I was stunned to see them left out of many. Provides great utility with the rest of the secret cards, it'll definitely make the cut once people narrow down the optimal total number of secrets to run.

Yeah it seems very good. I’ve been experimenting with 1 of the one that kills any minion that deals 3 or more dmg. It’s ok. I also really like keeping it pure so Yrel is a good finisher / come back mechanism. I need to try a version with the neutral 4/3, might be good. Worth taking out yrel? Maybe

Is this a good mill deck? It is not. Is it a frustrating one? Absolutely! I try not to leave Hanar on the board so I can shadowstep him and keep secrets rolling out. Watch Post and Southsea Scoundrel or Prize Vendor is pretty dirty, while flat out choosing a card to burn if they have a full hand with Southsea Scoundrel is incredible. There's definitely a few cards that I just dropped in there for the heck of it (Vanessa, Death's Head Cultist) so I'm still faffing around. I might try adding the spell cost watch post instead, but I'm not crafting epics until a little later in the cycle :v:
