Been playing Prestor Druid with the new miniset cards (Dew Process, Attorney-at-Maw). Not sure what the most optimal list is but honestly most of the cards in this deck don't matter anyway.

Just google it then? Personally I think there aren't enough mill effects in standard (dew, shellfish, ???) to make it worth your time but you sure can meme it up in wild.

Fun fact: the effect of dew process stacks so if you can copy the spell or double the cast....

Not trying to dunk on you but maybe you need to use better search terms. When I type in "mill druid maw disorder" I immediately get four different videos (wild and standard) and that's before I get to any of the hits for websites with decklists. Like there's not much and the decks are probably not actually good but it's out there :v:

e: On top of what was already posted here is a standard list by Ecore

more like with bgs, it'll likely cost us instead of being a card. only $19.99 per season for three extra spaces - what a steal, think of the value (and def. not pay to win, no no, they would never do that)!

I could see a board space expansion card, that's interesting. My bet is currently on DKs being a "if this is in your deck..." thing as opposed to an actual new permanent class, but having it allows you to add special death knight cards during deckbuilding. So basically any of the existing classes can be "corrupted" into a DK

I imagine with the release of Jailer a lot of people are discovering that Immune makes Taunt not work. I just had an opponent open up lethal by dropping jailer while he had that one Colossal turtle shell that gives armor on death on the field. Taunt? Armor? No thanks I'll just kill you now

Game has become a joust of who can gently caress over the other's gameplan better by playing Theotar at this point. It's not even good Trolden poo poo.

A completely joyless experience.
Decisions don't matter anymore, it's a plinko machine.

Nerfing Theotar to give two choices instead of three would be a good start to rein that poo poo in. Or just send it to Wild.

Yeah, he slots in so easy, and he's almost always better than whatever other drop you have on 4, it's always a race to jack up their plan before they jack up yours. When he first came out I'd try to hold him for a specific combo piece or quest reward but quickly learned that's just a great way to lose to him their Theotar. He doesn't even need a body to be good, could just be a spell.

I had Theotar in my deck for a while, but as a Big Spell Mage it was difficult (unless I had the coin) to make an actual trade. I got rid of him.

I’m not sure yet if I prefer this or the 30 card version; either way the new rogue secret is super busted and gravedigger ruins more games than theotar.

someone just used that minion that repeats the last battlecry you played to repeat theotar. They obviously didn't get to choose and my order in the court got swapped for their sire denathrius. they immediately conceded. weird, crazy, wonder why

I can't imagine running that minion alongside theotar. That just sounds like an accident waiting to happen

I like Theotar even when I'm playing against one. Makes you have to play more aggressively and be less greedy. Enables different game states than just gently caress you I win now. Like poo poo I need to play this powerful card ASAP or else I'm get hosed.

Another fun thing is when you have Theotar and have nothing you want to trade away. And then when someone plays him and you only have bullshit on your hand.

Good, fun card.

Definition of lex:

Law. Latin.
Theotar is overall good for the game - I think the bigger issue is that there still aren't enough similar effects to allow for disruption, so if you need that effect you don't have any other options.

I agree. While it's sometimes annoying that Theotar stalls my beloved Tome Mechathun Warlock deck in Wild, it's a needed counter and helps keep things honest instead of building up to an impossible-to-beat win condition relying on a single card. Big, powerful cards still have their place, they just can't be used as a solo win condition.

Silent Protagonist
Literally a year ago the knock against the game was that it was pure solitaire; each player racing to do their own broken thing and ignoring the opponent because there was no viable axis of interaction. It got so bad that I ended up taking an eight-month break from the game, so from that angle, Theotar and its ilk is fine by me. Mana cheat and card draw/consistency are a far more frustrating aspect of this format to me.

I could see Theotar pushed to five to he isn’t quite as free to include and only goes into your deck if you’re specifically targeting something (a la Rustrot Viper, etc), but his overall effect is healthy, in my opinion.

they probably thought it'd work like when you use theo + brann. good for you though!

while getting theo absolutely sucks, and him being neutral means you see him absolutely everywhere, the disruption that he brings is still a better thing for the game than some of the other cards / tech they have printed in these recent sets. things have gotten so bad, mage now has an official counter minion secret that they can run 2x of, and that's even after running the okani with brann package as well.

The various Dungeon Run modes (which also includes Monster Hunt and Rumble Run for free and Dalaran Heist and Tombs of Terror for gold to unlock the full thing) are generally a fun time, even if the default card pools for them are getting older. Trial By Felfire and the Demon Hunter prologue are decent little adventures. Book of Heroes/Mercenaries have charming writing and would be good if Hearthstone wasn't allergic to giving out functional decks in these and keep forcing you into annoying fights with decks that don't do anything.

yep, can confirm first hand that trying the dr. boom lab experiment puzzles will likely brick your game and you'll then need to contact blizz support for them to manually unlock your account. i too was trying to catch up on old content and multiple time in previous patches tried to finish the ones i was missing only to have the game lock up in an endless loop.

fwiw, the rest of the solo content seems to be ok still and i didn't have any troubles with the other adventures (so far).
