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.

very hosed up if they're just gonna let people lucky enough to open the packs early a bunch of legendaries wtf

It's not like Signature cards can be dusted, so they're actually worth LESS than standard or golden legendaries. It's a stupidly brilliant and evil move by Blizzard, making people desire something that has less utility and flexibility.

And, of course, I opened my packs late and out of the four Signature legendaries I got, Grand Magister Rommath and Blood Matriarch Liadrin were two of them, so I got doubly-hosed because GMR and BML are Season Pass and "Caught 'Em All" Diamond legendaries that also can't be loving dusted.

Using the Vicious Syndicate list from their 40 decks to try article. Giving this deck another win condition and another way to mana cheat to play that win condition if you didn’t draw Guff was certainly a weird decision. Being able to drop 64 damage from hand without Denathrius makes control vs control so much easier.

Man, I'm so tempted to craft Anub Rekhan because it's all I'm missing (and I opened the Druid quest recently), but then I look at Cornelius Roame in my collection and remember about spending dust on day 1.

So what's the state of the game right now (as in functionality)? I just did the prologue, and I think I'm supposed to have another story mode since I bought the big bundle but I don't see it anywhere? And they turned on standard pack openings again a few minutes ago but I'm not sure I wanna be their test case to see if it's fixed.

There isn't a second story mode, the 2000 gold just gets you a pile of cards and a few more premade decks. Also opening a few standard packs worked for me.

Wait what? The Path of Arthas set is currently only available as a golden version for 70 bucks, with no non-golden version purchasable for gold in the shop?

(At least in the EU shop, I even restarted to make sure it wasn't glitched).

Edit: Oh never mind, they hid the normal one behind the tile for the golden set.
Absolutely makes sense.

Edit: Oohhhhh, apparently you only get to re-roll craftable/disenchantable cards? That's kind of annoying actually.

Yeah, I not only got Rommath but Liadrin as well. Diamond and Signature cards are a ripoff as they're a premium element that have less utility and flexibility than Standard and Golden cards.

The DH scythe is bugged I think. I've played two games now where none of the 1 cost spells to discover the minion in my deck triggered. So I just played two games with 27 cards and no minions...

Edit: Just looked it up and looks like it's a big when playing against Renathol decks. Terrible!

I'm over here trying to play janky vs lists before the meta settles and they become unplayable.

Spell DH is pretty fun and good, amorphous warlock didn't work for me because I drew both undeads in my mulligan twice, and rager priest is okay but feels slow to get online and is pretty one dimensional.

tbh you dont need to run the big otk package anubrehkan and the armor package slot into the old ramp druid just fine and it dominates most dk variants

It's especially useful right now since it demolishes Blood DK and that's the overwhelming majority of what I'm seeing from DKs. And Blood DK is keeping a lot of aggro away at the moment, which is kinda the big weakness for Shockspitter Hunter.
