Don't bother picking Warlock imho. Priest seems to work better.

Yeah, the Warlock deck blows. I was able to do it really easily with Druid, though drawing Sailor Nozdormu definitely helped

Yeah, I hit the quest that gives a minion's stats to one in the tavern when you sell it with the stacking +1/+1 quest last night and ended the game with like a 700/700 Elise lmbo

Anyone seen a deck list for an XL hunter deck that plays Quest plus Wildseeds and Secrets? I checked on d0nkey, no luck

There's one on this week's vS Report: https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/decks/wildseed-quest-hunter-3/

Yeah, this was way better than the last one. Who would have thought a puzzle that a single person can do with an excel sheet is more enjoyable than a something that almost requires a program to solve?

Runeterra's super f2p friendly. I'm pretty sure I have enough wildcards/shards to craft every card they print until the game dies and haven't played seriously in a few expansions. Plus some kind of budget spider/Darius deck was usually at least kind of playable.

Patch preview stream next Monday Tuesday. Pack's for catching 15 minutes of it. I don't think I've looked at the new player decks since they first launched those, but that change is kind of insane

Technically it's more like Darkmoon Prizes, since Denathrius can always pull the mechanic back out. But yeah, it definitely feels like they just shoved in a mechanic to wildly shake things up and just assumed the meta would turn out fine.

Although, now I'm just wondering how Battlegrounds' patch rate compares to something like Teamfight Tactics or Autochess. Probably very badly.

I kind of don't hate how infrequently Battlegrounds patches. This probably isn't as big a problem in an autobattler with big numbers for how much damage/health a unit has, but it's nice to know that cards/tribes are going to be largely the same without needing to read patch notes.

Maybe one expansion cycle without any bullshit highrolling and mana cheating, wouldn't that be something for once.

I'm hopeful that this next rotation fixes things - we lose a ton of stuff that still sees play, including mercenaries/quests, so it should be a decent shakeup. At the very least, we only have a few more months of Brann and Guff.

I almost don't hate a hero skin as a value add for heroic brawliseum, but locking it behind three wins (and the usual 1000 gold price right before the miniset) feels real scummy. At least they're giving us a quest to make up for this week's pack

Patch is up, no refund on Maestra. Not super surprising, but if they're explicitly calling out that interaction in the patch notes, they should probably go back and change it.

I don't really mind other classes getting access to corpeses. Maybe this is just because of a recent tavern brawl, but stealing, like, Worse Yetis and literal do nothings doesn't feel great.

Unrelated, there's a new arena season with the patch, so don't forget to start a new run (and probably claim your stuff from last time).

Yeah, thematically, the sets I remember most aren't the "Just Warcraft" ones. I'm sure it was cool to see the mercenaries go through the different stages of a wow character or whatever, but I'd much prefer a goofy party or Dinosaurs/Lovecraft But Warcraft.

That's exactly why I like the DK change - they made it less annoying without completely gutting it. I wonder if Reddit won't flip poo poo over discovering cards like Patchwerk/Scourge slightly more often, but it's neat that there's a more concrete way to say certain cards can't be discovered and gives them opportunities to change runes and do this again if they need to.

Top performing DH list on d0nkey.top plays a BIG DEMON package, I gotta take this for a spin later. Glorious!

It's a neat list - 5-1 with it so far, though I just got destroyed by a warrior dropping a bigger taunt than my biggest demon.

I started playing that today and I’ve been really struggling with it. I probably just need to practice more but I’m definitely more comfortable with Tony at the moment. Big DH is just so different to the types of decks I normally play.

There's a pretty comprehensive guide mentioned on the VS pod. I've definitely run into some really awkward situations that could have probably been avoided if I were more of a DH Gamer and knew how to plan for Outcast or nagas

Yeah, I'd love to see Paladin not get killed by nerfs - just put Countess to 8 and slap some overload on the weapon or something. It doesn't feel crazy unfair, but giving a mini Doomhammer to a class with two Rockbiters in Standard was certainly A Decision.

Does Dota always put up such strong numbers compared to League or is there a tourney or something going on?

I think an early stage of worlds is happening for both right now so a lot of it is time zones. League's in Korea this year so games start at like 3 AM in the US.

The VS pod put the Leeroy Problem into words really well - the issue isn't really Charge, Windfury, or buffs. It's the combination of the three that's really hosed. Shaman can run Leeroy + Shoomscavate, but it isn't a problem because they can't make him a big rear end in a top hat
