Well all of my decks that I actually played are completely dead due to rotation and the first six matches I had were against 4 fatigue warlocks and 2 pirate warriors that destroyed me

The same two decks I hated playing against are back and even worse but this time I have nothing good to counter them - maybe it is time to stop

Yeah, I saw a fatigue lock. Killed them the turn after they emptied my deck, because I had already gotten them down so low. Just beat a warrior that was mostly doing removal, until it dropped an unprotected battlemaster, so I think they were going for a charge windfury thing - but they too died before they could do anything.

Ignite mage still works against slow durdly poo poo, but it's no longer an OTK. Imaginably it could be if you manage to pump Ignite up enough, but you can really only get 5 casts off now that mana biscuit rotated. Base damage that would be 20 dmg, but if you get 2 ignites off before hand to prime it, then you can get to 30. But I seems to just do chip damage, have a turn where I do about 20 damage and leave the enemy in hitting distance of the second Chandler/ignite turn. It's not as good as before, that's for sure. But it can work. However, the lustre is gone on the deck.

It sure is. This was my run from Plat 10 to Diamond 10 over the last couple of hours with the deck from VS's theorycraft article:


The Hunter and Warrior wins were against Quest decks too. The Rogue beat me partly because I wasn't sure how parts of the deck worked and the Shaman just froze me out. The Mage Colossal is awesome and several times I managed to play it while also having a Mechashark and three other minions on board so that's pretty much game over right there. The Discover pool is also small enough at the moment that it's very easy to find extra Sharks and Colossals.

Also reminder to disenchant your panda importers by searching your collection for "refund". If you're doing the right thing and not disenchanting anything until it's either nerfed or moves to wild, you might have a couple of them banked. If not, start doing that because it's good practice and every bit of dust counts.

Thanks for the reminder, I had 11 of them :tipshat:

Yes. You never disenchant legendary cards before you have the full set because legendary protection only stops you opening cards that you still own. Since you no longer own Lady Ashvane, you can get it again.

This isn't true anymore. The game checks to see if you've ever owned a card, not if it is currently in your collection. More here: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/116884

HI
Its not a good deck by any stretch. I'm only in like gold 2 right now but I went on a hilarious streak with it after climbing a bit with mech mage.

I just aggressively fish for vanndar and the fires just kinda come. If it's taking too long to find vanndar, gently caress it, just play fires.

It's entirely dependent on what RNG decides to bless/curse you with.

Again, it's not a good deck.

Specifically, to close a potential loophole in the pity timer system, where if a legendary gets nerfed and you own all the legendaries in a set, you could have repeatedly opened and disenchanted that legendary from packs to earn way more dust than intended.

Day 1 is wrapping up and the meta is still pretty fun! Starting to see reno paladin and reno mage which actually seem kinda cool and are even fun to lose against. The new core set is pulling a lot of weight. Still not seeing a lot of refined busted aggro BS winning by turn 5 (besides a hyperaggro demon hunter, but I was stuck on a bad mulligan so I dunno), so there's not a lot to get mad about.

The pro move is to never disenchant anything unless you need it to build something and you're out of dust. Then when they nerf some common you have like 12 copies of you get 480 dust instead of 60.

So does anyone have a breakdown for what - in dust - the typical expansion would cost? I know it's 135 cards total but I was wondering if anyone had what this particular expansion would've cost in dust alone, minus the "free" legendary and whatnot.

I want to know if I can "skip" actually spending money on the next one.

You never get a full refund for the full set diamond- you get a refund if you open the golden free legendary (Faelan) or regular/golden Tavern Pass diamond legendary (Finley)- though the refund period for those has ended. So you're just getting 1600 dust.

Yeah, I enjoyed Mech Mage last night and I faced one of those Naga Mages but I didn't think it was very impressive. Sounds like it has the goods, though.

My first hour was spent with my all-time favourite card, Tess Greymane, but sadly I couldn't get the deck to perform very well. I don't think the support is there yet but burgle rogue is obviously back on the menu so hopefully it'll get better in time. Could also just be that I don't know what I'm doing or possibly that not all the decks get solved on day one!

I've been goofing around this afternoon with No Hands Gamer's Bottomfeeder Druid deck and it seems fun. Definitely plays more midrange than aggro and it feels very unrefined; lots of very questionable inclusions like Sow the Soil and Frostwolf Kennels. It is very neat when you get things going against a board based deck and fun to just create lots of extra copies of 7/9 Bottomfeeders.

Took this from D5 to legend, deck does a good time switching from fighting for the early board to just smashing them in the face with crazy Stheno and Jace turns. Multistrike is frankly disgustingly good, and with the dreadprison glaive you can do 12-16 damage to their face by crushing a big taunt minion first.
