Hey, want too many words about a thing? Not getting to legendary with the deck I've got but making it to diamond 5 was way better than I thought I'd do one month in. Started with the Beasts of the Deep loaner deck. ### OG B of the D # Class: Hunter # Format: Standard # Year of the Hydra # # 2x (1) Batty Guest # 2x (1) Irondeep Trogg # 2x (1) Peasant # 2x (1) Tracking # 2x (2) Doggie Biscuit # 2x (2) Frenzied Fangs # 2x (2) K9-0tron # 2x (2) Selective Breeder # 2x (2) Spirit Poacher # 2x (3) Harpoon Gun # 1x (3) Prince Renathal # 2x (3) Ramming Mount # 2x (3) Wild Spirits # 1x (4) Azsharan Saber # 1x (4) Blademaster Okani # 2x (4) Stormpike Battle Ram # 2x (5) Pet Collector # 1x (6) Beaststalker Tavish # 1x (7) Hydralodon # 2x (7) Mountain Bear # 2x (9) Insatiable Devourer # 1x (9) King Krush # 1x (9) Wing Commander Ichman # 1x (10) Sire Denathrius # AAECAR8I25EE4Z8E2qMEx7IEwLkE57kE6dAEl+8EEOrpA/T2A8X7A8OABKmfBNijBOGkBOWkBMCsBIPIBL/TBLjjBMHjBMzkBNDkBODtBAAA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone Oddly this is not the exact same as the deck with the same name that pops up when you make a new hunter deck, which has 2 School Teachers, Defense Attorney Nathanos (which... doesn't look that useful for this deck?) and Sylvanas the Accused. In any case, made it to platinum and bounced between 8-10 until I got the hang of the game a bit better, then made some changes and ended up with. ### B of the D 1.2 # Class: Hunter # Format: Standard # Year of the Hydra # # 1x (0) Serpentbloom # 2x (1) Batty Guest # 2x (1) Irondeep Trogg # 1x (1) Sunscale Raptor # 2x (1) Tracking # 2x (2) Doggie Biscuit # 2x (2) Frenzied Fangs # 2x (2) K9-0tron # 1x (2) Scourge Tamer # 2x (2) Selective Breeder # 1x (2) Spirit Poacher # 2x (3) Harpoon Gun # 1x (3) Prince Renathal # 2x (3) Ramming Mount # 2x (3) Wild Spirits # 1x (4) Azsharan Saber # 1x (4) Blademaster Okani # 2x (4) Stormpike Battle Ram # 2x (5) Pet Collector # 1x (6) Beaststalker Tavish # 1x (7) Hydralodon # 2x (7) Mountain Bear # 2x (9) Insatiable Devourer # 1x (9) King Krush # 1x (10) Neptulon the Tidehunter # 1x (10) Sire Denathrius # AAECAR8M2+oD5u4D25EE4Z8Ex7IEwLkE57kEv84E6dAEzOQEl+8EspIFDurpA8X7A8OABKmfBNijBOGkBOWkBMCsBIPIBL/TBLjjBMHjBNDkBODtBAAA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone Made it a little further with this. Dropped the two Peasants because they were just functionally an early taunt and the card draw didn't happen 95% of the time. Added Sunscale Raptor figuring it could be useful to draw the buffed version later if it frenzied, and added Serpentbloom because I was having trouble getting through big taunts. Removed Wing Commander Ichman because the draw never felt worthwhile: happened too many times he pulled a K9-0tron and the magic stopped there, and I can recall one time he just didn't pull anything after an enemy minion died and I presume it was because my deck had already run out of beasts by that point. Neptulon serves more or less the same purpose and leaves more on the board for an opponent to deal with afterward. Scourge Tamer gives an option to emergency pull a beast out of your hat. If I draw it early and there's no obvious ability needed, I usually try to make something with silence, which is useful way more often than not. Ultimately the Sunscale Raptor was less useful than it seemed as it was almost always eliminated before it could do its thing, so I dropped it for a Dredger staff as that's effect felt a little more reliable, and didn't run the risk of getting pulled with a Pet Collector. Then dropped the two Frenzied Fangs as there are a ton of options at 2 mana already, and added Ambassador Faelin and Lorthermer Theron. Dropped the K9-0trons as I was tired of the Pet Collectors dragging them out and replaced them with the Tuskar Trawlers for mostly the same effect. This is ultimately the deck that carried me to diamond 5. ### Beasts of the Deep # Class: Hunter # Format: Standard # Year of the Hydra # # 1x (0) Serpentbloom # 2x (1) Batty Guest # 1x (1) Dredger Staff # 2x (1) Irondeep Trogg # 2x (1) Tracking # 1x (2) Doggie Biscuit # 1x (2) Scourge Tamer # 2x (2) Selective Breeder # 1x (2) Spirit Poacher # 2x (2) Tuskarrrr Trawler # 2x (3) Harpoon Gun # 1x (3) Prince Renathal # 2x (3) Ramming Mount # 2x (3) Wild Spirits # 1x (4) Ambassador Faelin # 2x (4) Azsharan Saber # 1x (4) Blademaster Okani # 2x (4) Stormpike Battle Ram # 2x (5) Pet Collector # 1x (6) Beaststalker Tavish # 1x (7) Hydralodon # 1x (7) Lor'themar Theron # 2x (7) Mountain Bear # 2x (9) Insatiable Devourer # 1x (9) King Krush # 1x (10) Neptulon the Tidehunter # 1x (10) Sire Denathrius # AAECAR8O5u4Dw4AE25EE4Z8Ex7IE57kEm8kEv84E6dAEpeQEzOQEl+8EspIF76IFDerpA8X7A6mfBNijBOGkBOWkBMCsBKmzBMC5BIPIBMHjBNDkBODtBAAA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone And yeah that's probably about as far as it'll go. Turn 3 Harpoon, turn 4 Ambassador, turn 5 (whatever discounted colossal beast) has been pretty fun. I'm honestly just about burnt out on ladder and will accept it can't compete with other decks at this point but I'm doing F2P and I don't think I did too bad for a modified loaner deck. One thing that's frustrating me is that it feels like at this level, most of the decks are some variant on "do nothing but draw/trade for 6 turns, pull giant combo out and obliterate opponent" and that's not really fun to play against. Feels like 80% of my games now are me getting them to single digit health and then losing two turns later. Am I nuts that the hunter hero card doesn't seem as useful as others? The changed hero power has a big drawback in that you can no longer deal damage past taunts. Quiet Feet fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Mar 29, 2023 |

Quiet Feet posted:Hey, want to many words about a thing? On the subject, I was really negative about the new big beast hunter package until you reminded me that there's already a reasonably successful version of that deck. In your opinion (or in the opinion of anyone else who knows this kind of deck), do the Banjosaurs and ten mana revive-your-big-beasts cards add anything to the deck (or at least replace some cards that are rotating)? Or are they as bad as I initially thought?

Warrior has the right good Taunt units with the right types to make some kind of midrange-y taunt menagerie deck be decent. They just don't have anything that makes it... interesting? There's nothing in this expansion for Warrior that makes me go "wow, that's going to be really cool". At best I can go "this mechanic seems cool, but the numbers are all really undertuned".

Honestly if they put Tent Thrasher and Ringmaster Whatley in the 2023 core set they could have at least salvaged this thing but warrior core set is random poo poo lol

It’s leftover cards from their underbaked Darkmoon Faire theme. It’s not even that I don’t like the idea of a midrange menagerie deck with some value cards — I had tons of fun with Conditioning Warrior with N’Zoth back during Barrens — but it seems way too fair for modern Hearthstone.

Got a daily and a weekly task to "Use Hero Power X Times", so I figure I'll have a nice relaxing Battlegrounds to unwind after work. All four heroes have strictly passive powers. Concede and try again. All four heroes have strictly passive powers. Concede and try again. All four heroes have strictly passive powers. Close the game to hit some mans instead.

I don't know that they've officially said anything yet, but preorders end April 10th, so prob the 11th.

Also by that logic someone dying on turn 8 makes them lovely for putting a ghost into the lobby, or any time someone's connection craps out, or when anyone dies with an even number of players remaining. Come on, man.

Warlock legendary spell (On the left) Seems not bad, especially with Warlock's other legendary that thins decks out. Fatigue could be a decent win condition for Warlock this expansion. By the way the only legendary left to be revealed is Druid's legendary spell

Seems incredibly powerful and flexible for just about any lock deck. Seems like it's going to be an obnoxious stain on the next two years.

I’ll confess to being an absolute sucker for that kind of card. It’s also cute that the card puts you way ahead in fatigue — but playing the most powerful effect immediately erases that advantage.
