Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

Someone have an easy list for this brawl? I hate when they make me build poo poo.

Paladin with big boys, some 1 mana spells and Frontlines.
Had Coin, a cheap spell and Frontlines in opening hand and a free pack 5 seconds later.

This is really effective in general but can also fail in really funny ways. Definitely recommend.

Here’s your normal pre-expansion reminder that if you want to maximize your progress on the next reward track, complete all your outstanding quests today and then don’t play again until the expansion launches on Tuesday. This will set you up with a full array of quests and allow you to blow through the first 20-30 levels of the new track in an hour or so.

Additionally, since the expansion launches on the first of the month, if you wait to log in on Tuesday until after the expansion goes live (usually 1 pm ET/10 am PT), your reward chest will also contain new cards (assuming you already have all or most of the standard-legal rares and epics). It’s not much, but it tickles the optimization part of the brain.

Mini optimization I saw: wait to log in on Aug 1 until after the set is out, that way the epic you get from the monthly rewards has a chance to be from the new set.

edit: oh i was back a page apparently when replying and missed that this was already shared, whoops

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
I won a giveaway on Twitter for the 60 pack preorder for the expansion :woop:

I’m hyped because I almost never get one of these preorder bundles. But I do have enough for the bigger one too (I got some blizzard bux as a gift). Should I go ham or save them for the next expansion?

Depends on how much gold and dust you have. If you have enough to make some legendaries to play the classes you like the most, I'd save it. But if you're just rolling with those 60 packs, I'd get the bigger expansion too.

I want to try Hero Power Druid with Embrace of Nature, Ignis, Freya, and Eonar. I am also weirdly drawn to Plague DK and Astral Automaton Priest despite the fact that neither looks all that strong to me on paper.

Vicious Syndicate theorycrafted an Elemental Mage burn list that looks pretty sweet, too.

Cats like optical fibers.
Some sort of Earthen Paladin deck. Lots of room for experimentation (not sure any will be good but I'll have fun trying).

just gonna do the same thing I do every expansion: spend all my gold on packs, build based on what legendaries I open, and then craft bolf ramshield

First thing I’m gonna do is add new cards to hound Hunter and relic DK; and then probably make a Mech Pally. Those will be my jank farming decks while I wait for other archetypes to be refined.

I have basically no dust and enough gold for maybe 45 packs… I was going to skip the giant bundle but I decided against it. It’s the first time I’ve been able to get the big bundle and that’s just because it was a very generous gift. I have enough left over for the reward track too!

Buy 50 or so packs with the gold stash, then play Duels as usual until I have enough to make a Standard deck that looks fun.

i'm 8-0 with armour warrior but it feels kinda miserable. like your health is dropping every turn until you stabilise at like 8 health and 7 armour and then suddenly hit your opponent for 25

I drafted it a few times and had games where over 60% of the enemy deck was plagues and they'd draw card after card without hitting any. I know the actual odds of that happening aren't crazy but it felt really annoying lol

Granted I opened a lot of packs, but I think I made out like a bandit. Opening the 10 free packs from the Choose a Titan thing and both bundle preorders (The bigger one I won!), I got:
Helya, The Primus
Argus
Gold Freya, Gold Eonar
Aggramar, Signature Hodir
Sif
Gold Amitus
Ra-den
Voltron Prime
Signature Thorim and Gold Golganneth
Signature Loken and Sargeras
