I haven't played Duels for a long time but I'm pretty sure Rally is still one of the more busted passives, and All Together Now has synergy with it. There was a site that collected lots of 12-win Duels decks in tweet format along with comments about how good the deck was, and a lot of the time they had lucked into the busted passives so it was like, well, yeah.

No reason it couldn't be a good and fun deck to play, I'm just saying you can do well with just about anything in Duels if you get good passives. And I think this discord is still the best place for Duels theorycrafting, if anyone is interested.

It very passive dependent, yeah. Like often you'll get offered three that have literally zero synergy with our deck or character. Then it's basically a bust

I've been playing with this deck for a while and it's really nice when it works, so thanks. I'm wondering about the deathlord inclusion, doesn't that have anti-synergy with the rest of the deck with its "bad" deathrattle? Is it for combo disruption or something? I replaced it with lone champion which I feel works better most of the time.

It can slow down a lot of faster decks and it can act as disruption against stuff like Reno. I can see pulling it but I've also played so much with it I think that would throw me off.

Edit: Petting Zoo is a good swap for Deathlord too

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
There's probably less of a risk of it now that a whole new expansion's come out since then but if you're looking at Duels lists online, ignore anything that's older than like...... July of this year, I think? Before a patch around that time it was really easy to force certain synergistic passive treasures to appear by heavily weighting your starting deck towards them, and basically every deck was built to take advantage of that, so like a bunch of 0-attack minions to force the "Your minions attack is equal to their health" treasure for example. Now I think there's still some synergy involved with passive treasures where it will make sure they're at least a little relevant to your deck before offering them, but there's more variance now and you're much more likely to end up with a dead deck if you use something that counts on getting a certain treasure.

Consider that a 3 cost free spot lol. Deathlord can really gently caress up people who run a lot of Battlecry and slow down faster decks. It can also really gently caress you. Petting Zoo is faster and good tempo. Let me know what's working for you please!

Webcams are required this time around, and it has been such a mystery surrounding the exception process and the actual software/website they use should we need to actually use them. No tech testing, almost no communication, it's been kinda a mess


edit: oh my God we just got the official policy that if one hour goes by and we're still stuck unable to play because of the friendslist/challenge bug the match will be determined by a coinflip :stare:

Okay, so I thought the bug of not being able to challenge was due being on the same wifi connection. 2 PCs on the same home wifi, can't challenge. If I instead use my phone on mobile data (i actually never use wifi on my mobile, but maybe I could check that) then I can challenge.

No, the friends list is just broken and it’s annoying. IIRC the current solution is to invite from the bnet client and/or reopen and speed to challenge, since it’s usually available right on startup. It happens with spectating too.

Yeah, I stopped playing with friends for the last few weeks - turns out their are more bugs than I know of! I was getting a "deck is invalid" when challenging friends today on the same network - nothing wong with the decks. But could do the brawl against friends no problem.

I dusted my Illucia after the first nerf, crafted Ilgynoth, dusted Ilgynoth after this nerf, and recrafted Illucia for Shadow Priest. That card must feel awful to lose against; hasn't happened to me yet, but I've done it to a lot of people on ladder. Here's hoping for another nerf.

There was a post a while back about how Illucia probably wasn’t important for Shaggro Priest but she’s probably the best card in the deck.

sweet jesus those new cards are strong. Reprinting mackerel as a 5 drop mech? A dragon that keeps all buffs permanently? A beast that gives your macaws reborn? Pirate that puts a golden minion into your hand every two turns? Game will totally change.

Huge deal here:

quote:

Damage cap of 15 damage has been added after the first player dies. Please note that the damage cap does not check for player deaths until the start of each Recruit Phase, meaning if someone concedes, disconnects, or dies during the Recruit Phase (Is Wrath Weaver ever really on your team?), the damage cap will still be present for that combat.

Shame they forgot to make Jaraxxus or Millificent interesting to match.

How is the permanent buff dragon a 3 star? lol

Avenge is cool because it makes beasts and demons relevant in lots of comps.

What in-battle buffs do dragons even have though? You can give it divine shield easily enough, but I can't think of anything else obvious.

I guess the deathrattle +1/1, +2/2 when a taunt, and the new dragon that gives +1/1 to neighbors, and the 6* pirate. I think that is it.

They remove the taunt guy that gives +1/1 to neighbors.

^This is the deck I'm currently using too. I'm a pretty bad player (I still sometimes throw games by overdrawing the quest reward even though I know better, or do self damage in a dumb order) but still managed to climb to rank 1 diamond with this deck regardless. The deck is good, is what I'm saying. Right now I'm one star away from legend but I'm too anxious I might lose because I'm pretty tired today, hopefully I'll have the will and energy to do it tomorrow for that sweet extra pack.
