Dr Christmas posted:I’m just past level 100 and have about 1000 gold. Should I try to earn the rest to buy the mini expansion? Depends on what you think of the cards, right? It's a good value for the dust, but if you're not going to play the cards then you can save your gold and craft whatever you need. Personally, I paid the gold and I think there are good cards in the set. I'd rather have them than another 20 packs of this expansion or the next.

Like spending it would cost you something significant then gold for sure, but if you are wealthy or well off or whatever then why grind for the gold?

i hear ya... it's been mostly priest, control warrior, and dh on my final d5+ climb so far. feels rough to play against, even moreso since i'm only able to get in two? three? games before i've got to stop as my evening / afternoon is over. i really wish blizzard had diluted their card pool more so they can stop generating another deck's worth of cards.

There is an achievement that needs Plaguemaw (I also opened a golden one) but it looks like a real pain in the rear end to do.

Mordresh (and Hero Power mage in general) also has the problem of No Minion Mage existing and being good, and the archetypes can't really be mixed (unlike eg some Pally stuff).

It's only the ones that directly relate to the latest set's cards that give rewards track progress.

Without seeing this list, you’d think that some of the legnedaries would be more powerful then they turned out to be. I’ve been playing a lot of janky decks with legendaries which are included in <1% decks and still having fun. Maybe not winning as much as it looked in my head but hey, fun is fun.

Personally I'd keep Plaguemaw at least - Kibler's shown off some fun Plaguemaw decks. Now that he's a Quillboar and can be resurrected, there's a potential of fun decks with Nzoth and so on. And all it needs for support over the next sets is for good Taunt minions, which is pretty common.

Nah, this is expected, both because of how simple the mana system is in this game, and by what the developers want. Only so many cards can be playable at the top since it is relative (cards will always be "graded on a curve" if you will), so it's a design success to have the weaker cards be fun to play while being good enough to not be a terrible game experience.

I play both. Plaguemaw in taunt/nature druid only, which has taken me to diamond 8 so far. Mordresh in tempo mage in standard which isn't great but fun and even mage in wild, which was pretty decent before warlock took hold.

I still want to tinker with Hero Power mage. I think it's actually very close to being real good, and I could see the archetype being given one or two extra support cards next expansion if Blizzard wants to push it. Though I was kinda hoping for some support in the mini expansion to be honest.... I think the dungeoneer could work maybe, you want to draw your Wildfires ASAP so a card that can give you them is great even if you don't get the extra freeze effect.

19-3 (86% WR) with Deathrattle DH from Bronze 6 to Diamond 9. Won the last 9 in a row, need to take a shower because I feel filthy. Illidari Inquisitor is next on the chopping block, I can sense it. Also, N'zoth for 9 mana was a mistake.

People keep forgetting Vol'jin exists and I have no idea why, the card is insane - it's the only disruptor card that isn't bad to just throw down on curve when required. Speaking of, having three disruption cards available is unprecedented in Hearthstone IIRC, and it makes this deck remarkably consistent against (most) of the combo decks out there. Southsea Scoundrel isn't quite a disruption card, but man did I ever underestimate how good it is - it's the drat Swiss army knife of the deck. Lowish on the curve, good body, card draw, fatigue protection, feeds N'Zoth, reads the opponent, great pull from Raise Dead... the fact that it's text is treated as a disadvantage is insane. The only other card that comes close is Scorpid. I think there might be an argument to swap out the Insights for Thrive in the Shadows, but in my experience you have enough targeted card/spell generation that you will consistently have full hands with answers. I'd rather get the discount than the discover, and I'd rather have a body to throw down than another spell. There might be space for a second Raise Dead too, but that's getting uncomfortably greedy even by Priest standards. On a side note, Against the Odds does in fact feel terrible to play right now. It has the potential to be really good, but Priest just doesn't quite have the shell to support it. It needs more ways to change opponent's attack than just Wave of Apathy and Power Word: Fortitude - every other way for Priest to manipulate attack stats is by an even value (aside from Psyche Split, which is obviously a poor decision for multiple reasons). It also needs more cards that give a payoff for that plan than Cabal Acolyte or a multi-card board clear. Seeing as the last time Blizzard accidentally made a good stat manipulation/mind control deck they nerfed it within a month, I don't see that happening.

I feel I often play it to keep my opponent occupied until I can get start to open palm slam my Illidari Inquisitors. The deathrattles are all over the place usually, but since they tend to be sticky, they require more resources to deal with. Then again, I don't exactly know how often forcing the opponent to spend those resources potentially saved my rear end, but I never felt in actual danger when I played him.

Mayveena posted:There was a ragequit in the Grandmasters?? Yea, in the Europe region finals xBlyzes disconnected from the game vs Frenetic when the match-deciding game 5 was lost. While this isn't specifically listed as "Unsporting Conduct - Minor", GM's have a catch-all in their rulebook about "being held to the highest behavioral standards". And it is kinda annoying that technically you're supposed to wait 5 minutes before your opponent is issued a game loss in normal tournament circumstances (in GM they just had an admin there live to directly to issue Frenetic the win). So it kinda put a damper on Frenetic's celebration. We'll see if Blizz issues a fine for this ($250), but probably not.

Yeah, it was something I'd maybe do if I was tired and knew it was my last game of the night so I just hit "quit" instead of "concede". The game/match was obviously over and I don't think there was anything malicious about it, just mild frustration.
