The algorithm they are using seems really basic, like i'm pretty sure when the computer discovers a card in the tavern brawl it always takes the cheapest option offered.

Pro tip for Mercs: Cookie is really helpful for doing tasks. His 3rd ability summons a 0 attack enemy that can stall a battle for as long as you want, so you can farm your summon skills, ect. for tasks.

EDIT: Oh by the way the next expansion was datamined. It's Alterac Valley as many had predicted

I'm assuming after the great success of Mercenaries mode, the literal plan is to eventually fill ladder with bots to keep queue times down and engagement numbers up.

Despite neither priest nor mage counting towards the 5-class quest and warrior never playing its quest, I was genuinely impressed by the brawl AI. I had a damaged 0/3 treasure chest on board and the AI played an Augmerchant to put a divine shield on it when the enemy would otherwise have had enough damage on board to kill it next turn.

My opinion changed fast because the AI then proceeded to attack an enemy minion with it. :suicide:

They could say they wanted to simulate the frustration of directing a play that goes off the rails and none of the actors know their lines. So you're just impotently trying to gesture for them to do the right thing but it just gets worse and worse.

Against quest mage you want to avoid playing any minions for them to cast spells on. This means using your overwhelms and bola shots on your own minions since you still make progress on the quest that way. Use your hero power as much as you can, and don’t attack them with Rinling’s if they have a secret up.

No, def just play minions on curve per usual. Often they don't have the nut removal, and are missing a spell school, and your pressure doesn't give them time to draw for it.

And yes to the Hope they dont have Fire Sale plan. You're not favored in this matchup anyways.

Everything Scrub said, and don't try to greed your quick shots. Drawing the card is unimportant, advancing the quest and doing face damage are.

Yeah, a lot of the time you just gotta Make them have it and don't overthink things. You win by attacking with guys, and waiting 8 turns to play all your minions out isn't going to make them any less likely to have removal in hand (and at this point probably discounted).

It comes out as a 6/6 the first time now, then a 10/10.

Just go all in, if they have it they have it and if they dont you win. If you’re really hitting a lot of quest mages and want to target that matchup you can try adding a robes of protection to the deck

You made a good call.

Semi-seriously, Stormwind was for the majority received pretty negatively initially with un-interactive combo decks out the wazoo. The mini-set looks like it's shaping up to be similarly poorly received, except this time it's because of aggro.

Mercenaries was the big new mode released but people have soured on it after doing all the solo-content and the PvP is effectively flashy rock-paper-scissors, plus some generally stupid balance/marketing decisions.

I don't know on the BG front and :lol: Duels. Maybe best to wait it out until the next set.

Edit: Also an interesting oversight with Jerry Rig Carpenter, some of the "choose one" effects are coded in game as 0 mana rather than the original cards mana cost. So that means in Wild currently, Jerry Rig Carpenter is a 2 mana 2/1 + 6/6 Taunt + heal 12 (Hidden Oasis).

Counterpoint to the above: standard has never been more fun than it was with this set. Every class has decks that are actually capable of finishing the game in a reasonable time. All the meta decks feel great to play and there's even some off-meta options that are fun.

Battleground is really solid right now.

Mercenaries is actually fun now that I've gotten the hang of it and reached the endgame PvE/low tier pvp content.

Wild is also fantastic right now.

In all honesty I think the game has never been more fun. Any game mode you queue into you're gonna have an enjoyable time.

Chernabog

Counter counter point.
I've been playing since beta, made legend a few times, and this is the only time I've considered quitting.

Standard and Wild are just about copying the best (and usually most braindead) decks from the internet and whoever is luckier wins most of the times. Games get decided, if not outright by matchup, by the draw or by random effects with little to no player agency.

In arena you could consistently get a 6 or 7 win average with solid drafting and play. Now it is way too random with cards that automatically win games and discover effects that make those cards show up more often than they should. "Oh, you got Sneed's Goliath? Cool, guess I lose."

Battlegrounds has had its ups and downs but it has been the only mode that has kept me coming back.

I disagree with pretty much all of that, I just don't get it.

Wild especially I dont understand how you can be bored of it. There's just so much space for 52% tier 2 decks in the format. I've been regularly hitting diamond 5 off eureka shaman and tonk Hunter just doing daily quests. There's such a huge card pool available that it seems basically impossible to be bored in to me.

Wild feels a lot better right now than standard, standard has devolved back into like 4 different arena decks that check quest mage; wild has a lot of variety after the ban (would be better if they banned warrior quest too)

I don't get bored of the decks I make, I get bored of going against the same 4 or 5 decks over and over again when there are so many possibilities.
