Excelzior posted:Avenge (4) is ridiculous, you get permanent golden minion upgrades for that kind of sacrifice and instead you get a lovely 2/1 whelp and maybe a +2/+2 on a lovely minion if it miraculously survived? Based on average placement Onyxia is like the 10th best hero in the game. Probably doesn't take 1st or 2nd a lot but places well. It's only Avenge (4) for the first proc really, because the whelp dies and triggers an Avenge, so it's 3 more after that. The whelps do WORK with other Avenge cards and act as a natural tiebreaker when you trade out your last minion and it triggers, so you win more early rounds than you normally might. Your buddy should be in the 100/100 range by the end of the game. Much better/worse depending on the tribes in the game.

Yea, if you don't want to chance 'wasting' the gold then you'd want to wait until you bought the set.

I know I have posted this list before but it is just brutalizing Diamond Wild while I watch bad TV and get drunk. This is a beast and I love it. A better or more attentive player will have better luck and i'm at a 72% win rate lol: ### ShadowBurst # Class: Priest # Format: Wild # # 2x (0) Raise Dead # 2x (1) Leper Gnome # 2x (1) Shadowbomber # 2x (1) Tour Guide # 2x (1) Undertaker # 2x (1) Voidtouched Attendant # 2x (2) Defias Leper # 2x (2) Kobold Sandtrooper # 2x (2) Mind Blast # 2x (2) Shadow Visions # 2x (2) Twilight Deceptor # 2x (3) Shadowed Spirit # 2x (4) Frenzied Felwing # 2x (4) Lifedrinker # 1x (5) Darkbishop Benedictus # 1x (5) Leeroy Jenkins # AAEBAaSrBAKvBLv3Aw6hBJIF9g6RD9HBAu/xAvOnA7q2A5vNA9fOA6HoA6P3A633A42BBAA= # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone

Yeah so this is the easiest legend climb I have ever experienced... Feel like this meta is worse than Roguestone, at least I could tech against and outplay those decks and generally have fun in the mirrors, now it's all pure RNG generation and trying to dodge a couple of cards that just instawin matchups regardless of game state. Would like to see this year thrown out like Witchwood tbh. Thankfully the vast majority of what makes ramp druid viable is rotating, but stuff like Kazakusan on 6, Trogg or Snowfall Guardian->Parrot->Parrot are too degenerate to exist, especially if they are moving to a board based meta design-wise like they indicated. Year of the Gryphon is not a healthy foundation for that kind of standard, the offending parties should just be banished to wild like Genn and Baku.

Kibler's list https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/dragon-priest-kibler-onyxias-lair/ I'm pretty sure the Raise dead is wrong, you pretty much never need the triple Lightmaw anymore since aggressive druid has fallen off the map in the d5-legend ranks, Call of the Grave is probably better atm

I have to agree. I thought Kazakusan would be a fun memish card that I could play without too much seriousness, but it turned out to be busted and unfun to play as or against. I may try some battlegrounds for awhile until a nerf or new set.

yeah Kazukusan was beautiful when it was thought to be a meme card, but when it's the primary win condition of 40%+ of the meta it becomes intolerable quick. I pretty much lost all motivation to play the game after the mini set and I couldn't really put a finger on why, but after watching this old guardian video I think he hits the nail on the head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCHCguFD-QQ basically Kazakusan decks have created an extremely polarized rock / paper / scissors meta where pretty much every game you play (no matter what deck you pick) is either an extremely favored or an extremely unfavored matchup.. there's no toss up matchups in the meta, it's all matchmaking wins or losses.

enki42 posted:Unless they've changed something recently, you can also open them in the current expansion's packs. Yeah, though at least for Onyxia, buying the set doesn't count for dupe protection. If you buy the set and then a few packs the new rares and epics is super hi to show up.

I dont think anything really needs to change with the core rotation so close, though Just one more month of feasting on ramp/spell druids until the game gets a shakeup

Been only playing draft lately. Idk, none of my decks seem to be doing well at all. Kazakusan is miserable to play against and it makes me miss roguestone tbh.

What hopes do you all have for the new Core set? I'd like to see Enrage Warrior support, maybe a new (or revived old) Mage archetype as well.

having zero idea how the post-rotation meta might look, i'd like to see some of the classic naxx dudes, eg sludge belcher, loatheb, feugen/stalagg, death's bite, or reincarnate, and a couple of brm dragon synergy cards like corruptor or technician

Just got my 1000th win with Priest and the game highlighted this achievement by transforming my regular Anduin portrait into ... a portrait frame with a plain gray background. Super stoked. The appreciation I felt was so overwhelming, I almost cried. Such a well polished game. Thank you Team 5 for celebrating this milestone so appropriately. FAAAAAAAAAAAART. Yeah yeah, no one gives a gently caress. I know.

Same thing happened to me getting Hunter a few weeks back, glad to see it's still not fixed. Much like the tavern brawls, which haven't shown me the instructions for like two months now.

Doing the Chi-ji Mercenaries Event, and banging my head against the task where you have to beat the Heroic Anointed Blades in a Felwood with only casters, who have a disadvantage against the bosses. I’ve managed to beat them once, with a boon giving casters Divine Shield, only to lean about a bug(?) where getting boons invalidates the task. They’ve updated the mode, but there’s still no use for excess coins for maxed-out mercenaries, right? They could at least deprioritize their tasks from appearing on the board.

I don't even have access to Alterac Valley in Mercenaries, or the area before it, and I can't be bothered slogging through everything to open it up just for an event with no rewards outside mercs. The mode is dead to me outside of the odd daily quest.
