Pack opening 65 packs
- Il'gynoth
- Sayge, Seer of Darkmoon
- TICKATUS!
So no Old Gods, dammit, but I am happy I got at least Tickatus as a consolation price. I am planning on some Warlock deck for sure. But clearly worse opening than last time when I got 2 golden Legendaries lol, and opened only some 50 packs iirc.
Mmhh now to decide which cards to craft, luckily I have all rares so they can be skipped...

I think I'll go with the Paladin package this time: both Legendaries seem pretty good. I always liked the Token Paladin archetype and Lothraxion seems strong. I think Yrel can be also easily utilised.
Other then that I think Shek'zara is pretty strong as a tutor card. I also wouldn't mind getting an Eys'or (pun intended).
I don't rate these Legendaries as strong or must crafts or sth. They simply appear interesting to me.
Btw I reached 10 wins with the Priest deck in Duels... and it turned out it gave me 5 levels on the reward track cus the achievement gives XP

Omg, I had to play several decks as I got only about 2 wins with each deck, lol. Maybe I should not be so biased against this mode, I just wanted it to be over with so I tried very fast types with literally no effort. But if the rewards are that good maybe I should try it again sometime... not yet as the expansion just hit us with new cards

Take my advice and go with Priest whenever you have a chance to pick it (use the deck I posted as it works, and from that moment either pick more removal, mind control and Dragon packages). As much as I dislike this class it is simply good for this mode. Why? Because especially in early matches the winner is the one who outvalues the opponents, plus you can heal when going into fatigue. And it's not even about the sheer number of removals. Priest uses sudden opponent swings against them. I won at least half a dozen duels because my opponent pumped up a big minion and I used things like Wave of Apathy + Cabal Shadow Priest/Cabal Acolyte. Opponents slowly run out of steam while you control the board. Ofc you still need luck with draw etc, but Priest simply works well with how this mode is designed (surprise threats that need to be dealt with or you'll loose and controlling the board/outvaluing opponents).
I'll probably gonna play this mode as long as I have free tickets (for Heroic Duels) and until people realize Priest is really good for this

Yeah it almost looks like they were prepared for it
EDIT: Uh-uh
New Cancer combo
EDIT 2: This time I ended my Duels run with Priest at 5 wins. The last guy had Willow and two of those Rush Imps that get +1/+1 each time a card is discarded and Jeklik (which means infinite value with the hero "Discard" power) and I run out of removals. Oh, and the rewards are like in Arena.

Ok, so I crafted Lothraxion as an excuse to go back to Token Paladin. And it feels as nice as playing it back in the day. Is the Legendary this much needed in the deck? No. I think the archetype recieved quite a few good cards to propell it even without it. But it is a solid Legendary nevertheless, with a solid persistent effect and good stats.
Back to the rewards system... I kinda reached a point when I start to see it's downsides. At level 20 you already need almost 3000 xp to reach next level. A Daily can usually give you between 800-1000 xp. So after the initial rush of completing weeklies and a few of those bonus XP achievements, you're kinda stuck in this loop where there's actually no incentive to visit the game daily. Sure you can still play it for fun as there are plenty of new cards to try, but you can easily skip on the regularity of playing the game. Kinda like I play MtG Arena nowadays (although MtG Arena rotates it's shop contents daily)...

Actually that bit about conceding to finish class quest is a good upgrade for me cus before you needed to play for a couple of minutes for the quest to complete, and now I just auto-concede to finish the quest in 3 minutes

Yeah it's all part of Patch 19.2. There's actually a huge amount of freebies. Aside form the gold there are quests that give you packs, there's a "nerf" to daily quest completion requirements, nerf to xp needed for levels (plus apparently there will be some kind of xp return later on). All in all I got something like 15 packs
And they added a lot of new stuff to Battlegrounds + new single player content + some tweaks to Duels. So, a lot of stuff happening at once

Breaking the long silence here but this is so hilarious I was literally laughing for a minute straight.
"How to break Wild in two easy steps" by Team 5:
1. Play Deathspeaker on Wretched Tiller
3. Play Hysteria (new card from mini-set) on Tiller
What you get? A hilarious combo in which Tiller continiously attacks other minions dealing 2 dmg to opponent Hero each time (and because he deals only 1 dmg it is easy to pull it off for tons of dmg). You also get a couple of minutes of your live wasted on watching a repeated animation I think this is a good chance to advance on the Ladder, although Team 5 will probably nerf it really quick.
PS: At the time I'm writing this, Hysteria has a bugged cost, instead of 400 it costs 100 so it's a bargain
PS 2: Oh, you don't even need your opponent to have a big board, cus you can use Shrinkmeister to reduce Tillers damage to 0 lol.

Yeah, but who cares about Wild?
Btw, I just got to level 50 on the progress bar. After the boost it goes on pretty smoothly and nets a good amount of money. And buying the whole miniset for 2K gold feels good.

I'm at level 48 currently. No boosts. At 1200 gold I will need to probably wait to buy the mini-set.

I didn't use boosts either. I meant after the buff to the progress bar Blizzard made.
Saw a comment on the Daily Hearthstone Moments: Moonfang costs 5 Mana, so it's in the Zombeast pool for Deathstalker Rexxar. How's that for a Wild combo?

Well yeah, but it's super inconsistent. At the same you can literally tutor all the cards needed for the Tiller combo:
- you can use Primordial Glyph to tutor Hysteria
- you can use Witchwood Piper and Insight to tutor all the minions. You can add only one copy of each to reduce the draw pool.
After it it all comes down to luck in how fast you draw all the needed cards. And ofc you need to watch for mirror matches and things like Counterspell etc.
Rest of the deck are just fillers, heals, removals and mana cost reductions. You only play cards to stall or to tutor all four pieces cus with Shrinkmeister you don't even need minions on board. This is the easiest OTK deck I've ever played.
Whatever. Blizzard said they will nerf it next week.

Well, If Therazane won't make it now, then she never will
Looks like a Kalimdor themed expansion.
EDIT: OK, I'm actually excited for the Year of the Griffin:
- Forged in Barrens gives me a really nice nostalgic vibe that reminds me of Warcraft 3. And "Ranked Spells" seems legit (pluss spells will now belong to schools, like "Nature")
- The new rouge-like mode, Mercenaries, looks very interesting
- They actually remade the original Classic Dragon Aspects with nicer art and new effects
