Yeah, I do my weekly quests in Wild but it doesn't seem like the kind of meta where you'd actually get to play Sylvanas for any kind of value.

In the right deck Sylvanas just bodies ResPriest. It's pretty slow and niche outside of that though.

The first part of the Alterac mystery ??? achievement has been solved.
Can confirm that it works.

It will never cease to amaze me how they figure out cryptic poo poo like this.

Step 1:

- Start a Book of Mercenaries run, pick Xyrella.
- Click on the shape in the lower left corner of the "parchment".
This should open the puzzle board.



To solve, follow these instructions.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qzpEKiGxtp7av5pjMLuXHeZ7CMEJY5OIQpFn--LCI04/edit

I suggest making a small spreadsheet for the tribes, then it's fairly easy to complete with the instructions.

Definetly not as tedious as the previous ones that required to follow a list of 100+ instructions.

Edit:
Only just realized this is part 1 of 3. Ah well.

Fun card, I don’t know why you would ever pick Tidestone, though. The other effects are good to great.

I feel like Xal'atath is going to be the pick 90% of the time since you're going to be running Azshara in a spell-heavy midrange deck and 2 mana for 10 face damage is gonna win you a lot of games

It's basically flamewaker but you can buff the damage in a class with a lot of cheap spells.

Speaking of flamewaker, pretty sure there will be a new flamewaker-style otk deck in wild with the new flamewalker mage mech, mechwarper, molten reflection/potion of illusion and snip-snap, but time will tell how competitive that's going to be.



(from a couple days back)

Edit: On second thought, do magnetized minions count as summoned?

Thinking of brewing a Prestor/Field Contact deck to gently caress around in the latter days of this format, any ideas?

I don't know, but this did make me realize that this should trigger from battlecries and deathrattles that summon mechs. (And the Mech colossus gives it three triggers by itself.) If they include the right mechs in the core set, it's a lot easier to make this do busted things than I gave it credit for initially.

I know battlegrounds largely runs off the same code and magnetized minions there trigger any 'when summoned' effects.

Broke into diamond for the first time, didn't push for it just got higher than normal streaks playing hp mage, quest hunter and 2 versions of ramp druid.
Of course as soon as I got diamond 10 I lose 10 games in a row, but the rank protection took the sting out of it.
Probably not going to have enough steam or time to get diamond 5, but might try for it next month with the new rotation

Second phase of the Alterac ??? Mystery Achievement - Cariels Maze.

This one seems to require a bit more dedication than Xyrella's puzzle.

I forget, is it worth stockpiling packs from brawl etc. for the new release or is that dumb because it's going to be a new year of the whatever, so they'll only yield "old" cards when I open them after waiting that long?

Yeah Brawl packs have been 'Year of the...' packs rather than Standard packs for a while now.

Speaking of that, is there a "Year of the X" title for the coming year? I don't recall hearing it or seeing it anywhere.

Could be, but in a League of Explorers-themed expansion it would be the first time they had a Finley without a Reno (or Elise).

It's an ocean themed expansion. Finley is aquatic.

I think they just brought him in for underwater adventure flavor, kind of like how they had Elise in Un'Goro.

We went out for lunch and then we stopped for some bubble tea.
I dunno, I think we might just be seeing individual explorers in this years sets, with no highlander themes? Guess we'll see.

Lurks With Wolves

But also, if Reno's in the core set and we're going for a loose "exploring random bits of Azeroth" theme for this year's expansions, they could just put one in each expansion and it will genuinely be really neat.

Kalko
Oct 9, 2004

Yeah, that does sound pretty cool. Next question is, which Reno will show up in the core set? My guess would be the original, but either way I don't see them adding only a single highlander card unless they plan on adding more into the other sets this year (I'm assuming there won't be any in this expansion since none have been revealed yet and they likely would've been a bullet point feature).

The other option is that the core set contains a new Reno, since we know core sets can have new cards now.
