The shaman portion of the quest goes by well with wild shudderkrond. It's a pretty beefy midrange deck and can put out some surprisingly high pressure when you curve wailing into custodian into hammer or stormer. Went 8-4 on ladder and the four losses go to secret mage because the matchup seems really really bad. Like you pretty much need to play gala on curve and then heal with kronx shortly after and you rarely have enough room for that between the tempo game and their burn. General strat is to basically mull for a 1-drop (invocation absolutely counts) and you can keep hammer on the coin when you also have a 1-drop. Custodian is usually a solid keep but there are matches where you can't afford to play the hammer on 3. Keeping ice fishing is also an option in some matches since the tempo flip is insane. Especially against aggressive decks but yeah it's just baseline nuts lol ### Shudderkrond # Class: Shaman # Format: Wild # # 1x (1) Fire Fly # 2x (1) Invocation of Frost # 2x (1) Kindling Elemental # 1x (1) Toxfin # 2x (1) Wailing Vapor # 2x (2) Cagematch Custodian # 2x (2) Devolve # 1x (2) Firemancer Flurgl # 1x (2) Ice Fishing # 2x (3) Arid Stormer # 2x (3) Primal Dungeoneer # 2x (3) Serpentshrine Portal # 2x (3) Whack-A-Gnoll Hammer # 1x (4) Kazakus, Golem Shaper # 2x (5) Corrupt Elementalist # 1x (5) Loatheb # 1x (5) Taelan Fordring # 1x (6) Kronx Dragonhoof # 1x (7) Galakrond, the Tempest # 1x (9) Shudderwock # AAEBAfe5Agr6DuvCAovOAu/3ArWYA+O0A9PAA/zoA6juA6iKBAr2vQK5rQPQrwPbuAOq3gOr3gPg7APh7AOt7gPj7gMA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone Tin Tim fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Jul 7, 2021 |

Take the Golden Light as your hero power and the Greatsword as your treasure. I'm already tired of seeing this one. But what I'm really tired of, and have been for a long time, is discs of legend. It's especially egregious now with entire decks being built off getting the treasure. As far as I see it, it's a bullshit treasure should never have stayed in the rotation a la original band of bees.

Amoeba102 posted:Duels IS bullshit. This is the conclusion I came to a few months ago when I sunk a heap of time into Duels. I had some fun and it was interesting for a while, but when you turn the RNG knob up to max on this game it just feels very unsatisfying to play. I don't know what it's like at the moment, but if anyone's curious, TeamAmerica is still regularly streaming and his Discord is the best resource for up-to-date info.

If you want shaman decks for the quest this is the deck I've played the most of any deck in this dumb bad game ever: ### Eureka Shaman # Class: Shaman # Format: Wild # # 2x (0) Lightning Bloom # 1x (1) Devolving Missiles # 2x (1) Lightning Bolt # 2x (2) Ancestral Spirit # 2x (2) Devolve # 2x (3) Far Sight # 2x (3) Lightning Storm # 2x (4) Ancestor's Call # 2x (4) Torrent # 2x (5) Hagatha's Scheme # 2x (5) Muckmorpher # 2x (6) Eureka! # 2x (8) Walking Fountain # 2x (9) Runaway Blackwing # 2x (10) Scrapyard Colossus # 1x (10) Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound # AAEBAZyrBAKoqwLgzAMOlAP5A/UEsgbOD/a9Ap/9Aq2RA4qUA4+UA5O5A/O7A/DUA5TkAwA= # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone It has insane high rolls, and you can play a mediocre control deck til you start slamming threat after threat in the lategame. Always mulligan for y'shaarj, a muckmorpher, ancestors call and lightning bloom. A single fatty on turn 1/2 just ends most games against anyone but priest.

Toshimo posted:For a mode that is "RNG BULLSHIT", it's pretty amazing that skilled players do very well, even when rerolling fresh alts on other regions. BGs or Duels? BGs does have strategy, but sometimes you just don't get the minions offered. Much like in regular hearthstone when you don't get the draws you need. Quantity of play sees good decision making win out. Duels, yeah the same can be said about deck building choices and treasure options etc - but the main thing is the whole premise is to do incredibly broken things, so it's more about it being broken bullshit than rng bullshit. It's what it's there for, but it's more fun building broken bullshit when you're facing AI (because the concept was built off of the dungeon run stuff) because you much rarely get it thrown back at you and you have to suffer. Also the AI doesn't play so slow.

bgs is great, I just think it understandably has the highest skill floor of any HS mode. there's a lot of information you need to learn to be any good at evaluating the like 600 decisions per game it throws at you. but ultimately I feel like it's less frustrating from the rng angle than any other HS mode, personally. pretty sick that you don't have to collect a heap of cards to play it, too.

Not saying the announcement of non-casual Duels having an arena entry fee was a death nail, but it wasn't a great idea for your super-high-variance play mode. 90s Shoes posted:pretty sick that you don't have to collect a heap of cards to play it, too.

When I started playing the game again last expansion after breaking for years, Duels felt like a great way to knock out quests when I didn't have poo poo for cards. I appreciate that the option's there.

Yeah I kinda like Duels but I can't imagine the frustration that would come along with paying for it. Even with nothing at stake I can only take so much of the broken stuff people can get away with in that.

You do use your collection for the initial 16 card deck in duels so it's a mixture.

I play Duels like 95% of the time because ladder gets super samey, BGs isn't my thing, and Blizzard took a steaming gooey dump on my favorite mode, Arena. The RNG can get wacky but I can still usually pull out 4-5 wins on a bad run. You learn what to play around just like any other mode.

I like duels sometimes, I can't see taking it seriously but it's dumb fun a lot of time. I really suck at it though. Just lost my last game thinking I was hot poo poo with 3 Rags and lots of ways to cheat them out, and then I got the "choose a minion and fill your board with 1/1 copies of it" played against me.

Tin Tim posted:Yeah tbh I think BG isn't as rng heavy as it first appears but people tend to remember outliers like when someone rolled into an early scaling 5 drop and dusted the lobby. There's a lot you can do to try to manage the brunt of the rng but the flipside is that you also need to know about a lot of stuff to make the "correct" choices. I spent some time with watching good players like RDU, Savjz, or Slysssa when I was getting into BG so I picked up the fundamentals easily. But a completely fresh player will probably have a much tougher and more confusing initial experience I mean, that's true to a certain extent, but in reality, if you run headlong into any established competitive activity and expect to immediately start winning, despite doing no research and having no grasp of the game, that's on you. I'm fairly certain I know 0 things about rugby and if me and my buddies got together and formed a rugby team, we'd get steamrolled every game, even against literal children. Why would I expect any other competitive activity to be different? The barrier for entry is virtually non-existent and there's literally infinite content to consume on how to improve and succeed, so if you're the type throwing a temper tantrum because "I GET RNG'ED EVERY TIME", then it's a YOU problem.
