Overheal Priest absolutely fucks

I cut Pozzik (which never felt good to play) for Svalna for some late-game against Blood DK

it's the deck from VS here, tbh even Svalna doesn't feel great either so the last slot is a bit of a question mark for me

I'm at about 90 packs and haven't either. I did get 6 or 7 legendaries though, so that feels decent.

I thought you got some benefit to buying them in chunks of 10 but I may be making this up/harkening back to a long time ago.

You are probably thinking of the whole ‘guaranteed a legendary card in your first ten packs’ thing which would make buying ten packs from each set worthwhile for dust

After that, the legendary pity timer is 40 packs.

You’re guaranteed a legendary within the first 10 packs of a type you open but that’s about it, and even then you’d want to buy and open one at a time until you get the legendary

Disargeria

All Good Things are Wild and Free!
The FIRST 10 packs of any expansion you buy has a guaranteed legendary. A common recommendation is to buy at least 10 of any given expansion's packs. After that, there is no difference.

I think golden packs are on their own timer too so it might be worth it to buy (up to)10 of them now that they’re available for gold? But that would be 4k gold for 10 packs, and legendaries are on average every 20 packs(which would only be 2k for regular packs) so I dunno. I guess the golden legendary could be disenchanted and would effectively be a ticket for a legendary of your choice though

Just got dunked on by a rogue that held the mana restore weapon all game, bounced a metric gently caress ton of astalors then refreshed mana + played mc blingtron + bounce around to dump 3 8 mana astalors on my face, each dealing 28 damage due to the blingtron weapon

(I very strongly feel like shadowstep should have gone to wild)

Sorry but that sounds like you never pressured your opponent and got punished? That'd never work against a deck with some initiative.

I'm at 7 too, not counting the rewards track ones/ETC. I know I'm close to the pity timer though, should be less than 5 more packs for another. I've got the dust for another 2 but am waiting for the meta to settle a bit before crafting. Really want Halveria to go with my signature Felerin though.

There's a tournament running this weekend (apr 15-16) on Solary's twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/solaryhs)

There's going to be Twitch drops (2 packs..per day? total? not clear)

They're located in France so the start time of 2PM CET is.like...8 am eastern? 5 am pacific? Not the greatest for US viewers but you can probably catch enough of it to get the drops

Not sure what Blizzard was thinking making Paparazzi(3 mana 3/4 Battlecry: Discover a legendary minion) a common. Arena is a loving mess

Beasteh

I'M QUESTIONING MY EXISTENCE AND THIS IDIOT JUST WANTS TO PEE OFF A WALL

Paparazzi is shameless Brightwing power creep

I've been jamming arena in the new rotation since I apparently had 15 unspent tickets and I am averaging 5/6 wins per run (back in the day I would regularly get 10+)

Feels like you don't draft for a good curve or synergy any more, you just full greed and take every single bomb card and overwhelm your opponent

Paladin run currently with 3 disco maul (why the gently caress does this cost 2 mana) and a ton of low drops and I basically have the board locked down and something buffed by +4/+4 around turn 5 which usually forces a concede

SMH Paparazzi was not "Battlecry: Discover a Secret".

I play it pretty much as a full blown face deck, don't trade unless you have to or unless it denies the opponent some ridiculous value. Most games you'll know by turn 5 or so if you're going to win.

You've also got increment board control in Ship Cannon snipes/Pufferfists, so yeah go all face all the time.

Oh by the way arena is bugged right now and none of the cards on the right side of this image are draftable (you can still discover them though)

Some of them are pretty glaring like fan of knives/defile, and the legendaries like rag/Dr Boom/zilliax

I'd hold off on playing until it's fixed

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
Am I the only one conceding as soon as the opponent is revealed to be a blood DK? I have no desire to play through a 35 minute game. Had runs where I had to concede 5 games in a row, but I'd rather not climb than spend 3 hours playing 5 games.

After moaning in here about my bad legendary I opened two back to back: priest overheal guy and the mage finale spell. Feeling a bit better about my luck now, and I'll be getting more + some dust at the end of the week when I get to pick one of the 6 returning player decks to keep (probably going to be the pure paladin deck)

nope you're not alone... reminds me of barrens priest.

as it stands right now, it seems that most of the game modes are busted: standard is being dominated by dk (see pic below), wild is being overrun by druid (due to twig, sphere and instrument tech), and arena is bookended by cards such as pack the house and also dk once again.



all in all, looks like a great start to the new expansion. but how about them new signature cards eh?

Just had a turn 5 win thanks to Zombeez, Frenzied Fangs and drawing both banana cards.

Probably helped that my opponent (rogue) went face for literally everything, including spells that would have removed some of those minions. Oh well!

DK sucks so bad. Gaining ten health whenever they seemingly drat well please is annoying as poo poo.

Who would have thought introducing a class and buffing it to end-of-standard-rotation power levels would turn out to create a horrific monstrosity of a class, once rotation happens and it loses nothing

DK was a mistake

Nobody but me cares but Duels is completely hosed by the Groovy Cat/Drek'Thar interaction to the point I'm playing Standard again and seriously considering a break entirely until it's fixed.
