It's definitely bugged. It wraps around to the forth fight and it's with illidan, which would be the final confrontation at ice crown, not the first.

yeah I played the first 3 over lunch hour and it's de-synched.. you get the 4 fights in the correct order but the map is wrong and the pre-fight narrative is mis-aligned.. or rather the pre-fight narrative is correct for the position you are on the map but the fights that are supposed to correspond to the locations are not in those positions lol

well done Blizzard

well they can't (and shouldn't) just yank those cards back.. I know they did that with the free dust that one time but cards are a different thing to me.

**like with the dust rollback it was because they deposited like 15k dust in people's accounts and the people should have been aware on some level it was a mistake and they shouldn't be entitled to so they spent all of the dust asap to lock in the mistake.. with the packs nobody was doing anything to game the system or whatever, it was just people opening packs they had saved up and were going to open at that moment no matter what.

Missing it stings even more when you realize there's going to be 4-6 extra legendaries available in this expansion. I see that the event is giving out two, so maybe events will give out a few to make up for it, but it still sucks.

Post your list.

I unpacked the hunter legendary that gives spell damage and I've been playing with shockspitters. Feels strong (probably much better if I had the arcane quivers). Brann+shockspitter is nasty if you drew early weapons. Bouncing spitters with swarm helps a lot with early board control and preserves the combo.

i used this, which is definitely not the optimal version. Based on my 10 total games in an extremely DK-heavy meta I think double Asphyxiate is overkill, double Corpse Explosion is overkill, Denathrius and Invincible are bad

edit: also I don't think you should be able to discover cards you don't fill the rune requirements for

Well, now I feel lovely because I only opened the one signature legendary in my 30 standard packs before they shut it down.

Anyhoo, I needed to get three Priest games done, and since I had opened her anyway I grabbed this Infinite Svalna deck from VS and it is just dumb and crazy APM fun. Often I just get concedes immediately once I go to round two by casting one or more discovered Animated Dead.

Get one Radiant Elemental into your dead pool, play Svalna as early as possible. Switcheroo and Grave Digging help tutoring her out, the latter synergizes after you played a Spirit Guide on 5 (as it's an Elemental Undead).

Then, with the other Radiant Elemental and two Animate Dead in hand, you go quasi infinite on Vision of Darkness casts, fishing for heals and board clears as needed. Went 3-1 with it right off the bat.

The dialogue for me was boned as well, it had the introductory Illidans dialogue for the Sylvanas fight and then the Sylvanas one for the Illidan fight and then the game froze when I killed Illidan, possibly because I won with the effect from the card that does 1 damage twice when you cast a spell so it hosed with the animation where Arthas attacks with frostmourne to finish each fight. That'd be my assumption anyway, or it's just hosed.

Didn't gently caress up the unlock anyway so I didn't care.

it hosed up for me too, but when I relaunched the game everything had unlocked silently...

until I went into Mercs and started a bounty

THEN it did the "New Class Unlocked!" popup

I've been having fun with this UUU aggro DK deck from VS:

https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/decks/uuu-aggro-unholy-death-knight/

It's nice and cheap at 1760 dust, and I had most of it already from opening packs

Also very fun when Nerubian Vizier gives me a spell like The Scourge and I can fill the board back up after my opponent wipes it

It's scummy as gently caress that they hid the 2k gold path of Arthas inside the golden premium real money version on the store, I spent ages looking for it before I looked at the golden one and went 'surely they wouldn't be *that* predatory'

Control BBB DK is really strong. Copes with aggro fairly well, but struggles against Ramp Druid.

Ramp Druid is quite ridiculous right now. Brann needs to moved out of standard.

I've done extremely well with deathrattle shaman. If they don't control it early it quickly gets out of hand, but if they do it has nice finishers with denathrius or Bolner+Astalor.
