Boatswain posted:What decks are you looking forward to trying? Fel Control Warlock, the mythical value Rogue (lol), Silas OTK (again), Big Spell Mage? I dunno tbh, it feels like everyone got a lot of stuff but without any real support. Like there's big mana druid, but very little in the way of worthwhile new things to spend it on besides that new 1 mana 1/1. Maybe clown druid might make a return, that could be fun actually. Token druid is likely still going to be stronger and has a lot of lateral support with free and stick stuff. Then there's deathrattle priest, but that's pretty much the slowest deck in the world and good luck staying alive that long. The number of exciting deathrattles costing less than 8 is very low is what I'm trying to say. Then there's freeze shaman, very likely very obnoxious to play against, but the legendary payoff at the end seems very slow and a pretty underwhelming. Maybe Moorabi might be fun memeing with in wild now. Handbuff paladin is still going to be a thing but a little harder to kill, I'd guess this might be a strong contender. Not really convinced by the new big beast hunter stuff. If Big Spell Mage ends up being even a tier 2 deck, I'd be really surprised, even though I really want it to succeed. Meh, as I type this list I only realize what I already know, that this meta is already too fast to have any real fun with most of the new cards. You can't speed up the meta like crazy one expansion and expect people to play decks with multiple 6-8+ drops in the next without introducing some crazy removal and reintroducing longevity. Sorry for being so rambly. TL;DR: I'll be trying guff clown y'shaarj druid, and maybe some kind of handbuff paladin control deck, but I really hope the meta changes in a way that I'm not seeing and creates space for some fun decks like HP magister mage.

Yeah, my prediction for a powerful 10+ cost Druid card was off. I don't really get the point of expanding your mana supply to 20 if there isn't some big payoff, particularly when Celestial Alignment exists so big spell combos can be done easily anyway and with disruption to your opponent. A lot of the cards look neat though and maybe there's something crazy that will come out of it, but nothing seems too outlandish right now.

I'm still excited to play with new hero cards, and loads of Freeze-effects might help slow down against aggro.Jolly Jumbuck posted:Yeah, my prediction for a powerful 10+ cost Druid card was off.

I think Guff would help with consistency before Aligning, if you've got a spare turn on a rough draw. Then, why wouldn't you just add a tutor or more card draw? Maybe his proper place is in GA/Clowns.

Probably nerfs. I know even the best predictions often miss the mark but it really does seem like half the cards in this set are unplayable just due to their cost.

Yeah - It doesn't matter if you've got a 10 cost spell that says 'Win the game', if Aggro is reliably killing you on Turn 5, nuts draw killing you on 3-4, and you don't have a way to cheat it into hand and/or play it.

I really do hope the meta slows down, it'll make my Ignite deck win more than it already does. Only new thing I think I have to worry about is Hunter secrets, but I can generate sacrificial spells for that - much like for Oh my Yogg or Counterspell (which no mage seems to run at the moment). Maybe if warrior / druid armour gain becomes meta. Maybe Cariel lightforge will make me have to put a cobra in my deck. Otherwise, if the meta gets faster, then it obviously gets worse, but then all this big mana stuff is also dead.

Don't think people know what to expect and then suddenly you've got a full board and a hand full of free cards.

I'd rather have a meta where cancer priest is viable than one where games end on turn 5. One allows for a bigger card pool with more variety and more interesting games, the other does not.

I... think I'm not going to get the mega preorder this time (still going to get the regular one to defray crafting costs). I have 2.5 good reasons and one petty one: 1) I have ~25K gold 2) I have 100K dust (and ~17K from cards I haven't dusted) 2.5) I 100%ed the BG achievements before the Sneed/Cookie patch and am pretty burnt out on it 3) gently caress VANNDAR (petty because I only played Horde in WoW)

You basically have enough gold and dust to get all the cards from the next expac without spending anything. Might as well use it up, it doesn't earn interest and you can't turn it back into money.

The last couple expansions the only money I spent was on the tavern pass (and I tossed $5 at the intro mercs bundle). You can pretty easily get enough gold at around 200 levels of the pass to get the mini set and have 14-15k+ by the time the next xpac rolls around.

Went 5-0 to finish the weekly ranked quest this morning, ended up at G1.1 and figured I might as well go for Platinum. Then I hit pirate warriors. Eventually got up and over to Plat, but it was a streak of pirate warriors keeping me down. I'm not sure what's going to take on pirate warrior to slow this meta down for all the high cost cards coming out.
