This thread is dedicated to all the little joys in the game - the silly RNG moments, the weird victories, finally beating that tricky adventure boss. Anything that you're proud or happy to have accomplished and want to share.
This thread is for positive posts - so feel free to post about how great you felt beating that Big Priest, but don't use it as an excuse to go on a rant about them. We have another thread for that.

Welcome to the site!
i was playing monster hunt against captain shivers. i was down to 6 health and his 6 attack kingsbane broke. he had a Fel Reaver on board and 10 cards in his deck.
then i played one card and he burnt the kingsbane
Yesterday I was playing Jade Shaman in wild casual and stumbled upon a Quest Mage. Normally I run Dirty Rat, Zola the Gorgon and Brann Bronzebeard, but by that time the opponent completed the quest, I didn't have the rat.
Then for some reason my opponent decided to play Banana Buffoon while having 8 cards in hand and passed. On their next turn they burned Archmage Antonidas and conceded.
I had a classic pre-naxx Pepper moment today. Playing as shaman, opponent has 3 6 health minions. I have 6 mana. There are two lightning storms in my hand. There are now no minions for the opponent. Won 6/6 50% RNG.
Finally completed Heroic act 3 of the Dalaran Heist using Deathrattle Quest Priest.
It only took me 54 bosses to complete the run ^^
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Easiest Alex of the year.
I managed to get this thanks to my boy Bob, giving me Alex, and then letting me discount it to 0 mana.
https://imgur.com/a/MXBa1gc
On the final match topdecked it while I had 40 damage on board.
I thought I'd have to save up gold to buy the entire solo content, but I came into 12 bucks and was able to purchase the last two chapters yesterday. So happy. Now I have 4 chapters beat with at least one class, and am excited for Chapter 5 on Thursday.
Side note: How is it that I can beat Dalaran Heist chapters but I can't even come close to the final boss in Rumble, Dungeon Run or Monster Hunt?
The end of days is coming. Doomsayer was right all along.
Well although they have the same sort of structure, Dalaran Heist is designed to be much more similar to a classic adventure in that you aim to complete different chapters with 8 bosses each, whereas previous iterations of Dungeon Run were more about surviving through an assortment of 8 bosses. I also don't believe those had a Heroic mode iirc.
Give Heroic a try and i am sure you won't come close to the final boss =P at least not right away.

Thought this Turn 1 was worth sharing:
In case the history bar is too small, here's what happened: Emerald Goggles into Animal Companion, Huffer busted the Cache, then second Companion into Banana Split. Yes, this was a turn 2 lethal.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Put a deck together to try out the buffed Priest cards. Turn 1 against a Mage, Cloning Device into Sorcerer's Apprentice. Turn 2, play her, Power Word: Shield, coin, Extra Arms. The snowball was real; reminded me of the good old days with Radiant Elemental. Ended up with turn 5 lethal, two 7/7s, a 5/5, and a few 1/1s because I drew my other Extra Arms, Faceless Rager and Sand Drudge. Good times.
I had the absolute nuttiest match against a control shaman on ladder with a pogo rogue.
https://hsreplay.net/replay/2bZ45ZkTGckU7PMgCBmkPe
I just repeatedly refilled my hand so efficiently, especially with a clutch Barista Lynchen. Tak Nozwhisker is now a very good card to have, but just for this so far. To be fair though they did commit way too hard to removing my individual Spirit of the Shark while stealthed. Ended up worse than what they were trying to avoid i imagine. GG.
Here is the deck

Casually got a 26*/25 pogo hopper on ladder yesterday ... with a Magic Carpet on board and so many more pogo as back up ...
I felt dirty good about it ^^

Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Well one of the craziest wins I had lately was one against a resurrect Priest as Mage. He had after a lot of inital scrummage a re-resurrecting board with 2 vargoth's on board and a LOT of stats.
I had some AOE spells and some taunts to stay alive and had played galaxy spell so all minions in my deck cost 1 mana. Then I dicovered Arugal from that bird. So I played Arugal which by some miracle stayed alive, next turn I draw 2 1-cost star-aligners (I had a luna on board). So my hand is 4 one-cost star-aligners...which gave me a board clear + 14 face damage and my minions could finish him off in the same turn :) craziest come back ever.
Fooling around on rank 4 with a Face Warrior. Played a rogue, he skips turn one. I play coin into Redband Wasp and cross my fingers. The rogue heropowers... and goes face. Yes!! Turn two: Inner Rage into Rampage for a 9/5 wasp :) got to go face two times and finished him off with [Hearthstone Card (Kor'kron Elite) Not Found] and Mortal Strike on turn 5 :)
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Loaded up this weeks Tavern Brawl to find it was a co-op... Disaster. This usually means playing with someone who seems like they're actively trying to lose but to my suprise I played with a competent player which lead to a fun game and a decent co-op experience.
Well, there's a first time for everything I guess!
I was facing a heavy loss against some hunter when suddenly i topdeck a 1-mana Malygos to dish out the lethal with a Maly+fireball+frostbolt combo. Ha!
I'm just glad that my janky fun deck is somehow winning me some games in wild.. I was expecting way more losses than what I got.
P.s.. I need the spoiler option .. these pics takes up lots of scrolling space.
ARES summons Erymanthian Huffer.
ARES declares attack with Huffer .
Adonis' hp reached 0. ARES wins!
Playing Heistbaron Togwaggle and choosing Golden Kobold
A hand full of random legendaries with Princess Talanji
Watching the moment Talanji places all of your legendaries onto the board is pricessless, happened twice now.
Also when Golden Kobold gives you Shudderwock
Let me light the way.
Had a crazy win when my opponent froze my giants and did one damage to them, giving me 2 7-health minions on board. Would have liked to see his face when I played my star-aligner...and another one the turn after. Made my day!
Them: See on HSReplay and VS that everyone is playing Bomb Hunter
Also them: Play token druid to counter
Me: Plays tempo rogue - destroys both.
<insert smart meme>
Two things:
1. Very peppery to see Hearthpwn live on and perhaps become better than it was - I, for one, welcome our Vampiric? (I guess the most appropriate metaphor for dying and becoming "more"?) Overlords.
2. It's not often I can pull off my ultimate turn 9/10 Burgle Rogue combo of Tak Nozwhisker + Preparation + Academic Espionage to fill my hand with stolen cards (and get a peak at what just got put in my deck) but when I do it's almost always instant win. Most recently, Tak gave me 1-mana King Krush + TWO Kill Commands for 18 face dmg the next turn and the win. Love.
my opponent played EVIL Cable Rat turn 4 and got a Witchy Lackey. then on turn 5 he played Spirit of the Shark > Witchy Lackey on the rat and it turned into a Ornery Tortoise, but then because of spirit of the shark it turned into a Keeper of the Grove.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Pretty feelsgoodman when you get an insane start and your opponent is just like: Yeah oktnxbai

This has nothing to do with anything, but Kaladin has finally joined us on the new salt thread!
Absolutely loving life at the moment. Have finally got a complete Standard Collection and have been celebrating by playing Villain Priest.
It's amazing. Power Word: Replicate on Archmage Vargoth on Turn 5 makes Conjurer Mage look like a Toddler.
Throw in the cheap spells like Circle of Healing, Extra Arms and the Bananas from Banana Buffoon and my Grave Horrors are doing bits as well.
Cocked, locked and ready to rock...
After nearly 30min of a mirror match-up Control Warrior Vs Control Warrior, as I'm losing my last removal and am about to run out of armor, and as my opponent is finally gaining total control of the board for one last swing, resigned I clicked next turn, knowing fully well that it was my last turn possible to do anything - win streak over ; no rank 5 today - my now Dr. Boom opponent clears off my last minion, emote ''Well Played'' and simply conceded ..!
Added me into his friend list to greet me into rank 5. Still speechless. This guy made my day <3
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Get fucked, Mech Hunter in casual.

So this was just a roller coaster of emotion. Questions you might have:
1. How are you on fatigue on turn 8?
2. How do you have 2 Super Simians?
3. What the shit, guy? (this is more an internal question).
So: Had the Book of Wonders passive, which on turn two pulls Myra's Unstable Element. Well it was a nice run but I've lost, I think. However, in my hand I had the Super Simian, Blessing of the Ancients, Flappy Bird and EVIL Propaganda when the deck starts flying. This is important, because another Scroll of Wonders comes off before I burn out and it's Dead Man's Hand, so all of those cards get shuffled back to me. I ALSO have Robe of Gaudiness, so wait, can I SMOrc this dude quickly enough to win? Yes, surprisingly enough. This is, without hyperbole, the most insane RNG clownfiesta I've ever experienced and I can't believe it worked.
p.s. in case you've never tried it, TIL giving Taunt to the Super Simians doesn't work. The AI is able to just ignore the Taunt and hit wherever.
I just beat a Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound into pulling real Y'shaarj Big Priest opening. Devolve is a crazy card, especially when it gives your opponent Majordomo Executus
So, I'm playing Mech Pally vs. Mech Hunter. I decided to go super greedy here by not playing anything until a turn 5 Glowstone Technician, since he had a slow start. Turn 6 arrived and I completely roled the board around, ending up with tow giant mechs, one with taunt, and him with no board. On the downside, I was at 9 Health.
His turn 6 and 7 were slow which allowed me to draw 3 cards with a topdecked Countess Ashmore on turn 8 while trying to solidify a board state. He then pulled off a Venomizer + Missile Launcher combo on his turn 8, leaving me with 3 Health. On my turn 9, I was forced to Kangor's Endless Army my 2 mechs so I could have a fighting chance. On his turn 9, he topdecks Bomb Toss. Again, I was at 3 and he saw me draw 3 cards with Ashmore, so he should know I had Zilliax in hand. BUT! He played his entire hand before playing Bomb Toss, leaving him no leftover mana to Hero Power me to death.
Now, I don't know if that was just BM or of the guy was just that bad, but boy it felt good to lifesteal myslef out of lethal range and see him forfeit the next turn.

PS: I know mulliganing my Consecration ended up being a bad play, but in my head, if he started strong, I had a turn 2 2/5 to fight the board, hence me mulliganing it.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Just beat Heroic Mode on Dalaran Heist - wing 5 - with the most automatic deck I've ever played. I've started as a rogue with the 2 mana 2 damage to undamanged minions hero power, and the first treasure I got was Robes of Gaudiness (which in itself is pretty bonkers). Over the next few bosses, I've managed to get myself an Anub'arak, and then later I've used Duplatransmogrifier on it. When I've realised what I had done - it was already too late; I've just made a deck with 22 Anub'araks, all costing 4 mana.
I thought I was done for, since my deck is pretty much dead weight until turn 4, but then I got my second treasure: Rocket pack. From there - it was super smooth sailing; All I had to do, against any heroic boss, was just survive until turn 4, and from there I basically won. Every turn I summoned an Anub'arak, which either removed something or just stayed on board, and the extra Nerubian tokens also helped clear boards with their rush. It didn't even matter how much spell damage or random spell generation the last bosses of the heist had - they just spend it all on minions that essentially dont ever die. Eventually they just ran out of steam, while my Anub'araks gently tapped their face once in a while - and I've won the Heroic Heist.
Finally hit rank 13 for the first time since Whispers of the Old Gods. Only use a combination of Whizbang (Just crafted him golden too, because value.), Murloc Shaman (The deck recipe one.) and Zayle.
The end of days is coming. Doomsayer was right all along.
Queued up against a legit Weasel Priest in wild casual for the first time in probably over a year. I was playing my Spectral Pillager Rogue & the priest eventually manages to shove over 20 of the furry little guys into my deck. Despite that I was able to somehow draw 8 out of 9 of my combo pieces (missing only Thaurassian). Unfortunately I never drew him. I couldn't be annoyed for that long really though.
Hats off to you Ms/Mr Priest. Your memed all over my meme good mam/sir.
Today, I opened a golden The Caverns Below. I hadn't played Quest Rogue since the original nerf (dusted it to make Aya Blackpaw), but I think I've fallen in love. Cards like Daring Escape, Valeera the Hollow, Vicious Scalehide and EVIL Miscreant are such a huge step up from my original experience playing the deck with just Fire Fly and Igneous Elemental. It's such a blast to play, with so many interesting ways to both complete the quest and win afterwards. Hopefully future sets continue to add great cards to the deck, as it has instantly become one of my favorites.
Was playing a deathrattle mech huntard on standard ladder he had me down to 1 HP and already said "Thank you". But I had Alexstraza in hand...and a huge card advantage so 2 turns later it was my turn to say thank you when dishing out the lethal in his face :).
Beating top tier Wild Aggro decks with Wild Pyromancer + Extra Arms is a pleasure that Big Priests will never taste.
Miracle Priest ft. Radiant Elemental FTW.
Care to share the decklist? Seems fun
You know those kinds of games where you just want to play as much as possible to the point where you literally throw the game on purpose? Just had one of those:

Just had a pretty nutty game. I was playing bomb warrior against a control warrior. I was forced to just remove things and waste resources to keep tempo for most of the game because he had Boom on 7 and mine was second card from the bottom of deck. This is usually the only way you lose that game as bomb warrior so i was hoping my archivist cards would carry me, and boy did they. This has to be the sickest archivist picks i've ever seen. I got the bomb wrench, elekk, blastmaster boom, upgrade, and some random dude. I had already saved a natural elekk, clockwork gnome, and wrench for after he played his archivist, so I knew he was going to get bombed the fuck out. So i put those bombs in his deck a turn or so after he played archivist, and like two turns later after i did my second swing of wrench, he plays fucking Rafam he got off of pinata way earlier. He gets an Emeriss on a pretty full hand from one of his Rafam cards and all those bombs I put in his deck are now random legendaries so he's very far ahead in fatigue. Probably thinks there is no way.
But then I play some of the archivist elekk/wrench/upgrade stuff and play two full blastmaster booms back from back and just melt him from full health. Was pretty hilarious
This moment when you face the mage and you have three hard removals in hand for all possible big dudes they will play.
I don't play hs that frequently atm (I'm enjoying Heroes 3 HotA a lot more), but here are some pics I would like to share with you guys:
Against Murloc Shaman
I don't remember much from that game, since it took place a couple of days ago. But I remember, that I struggled a lot back then - the opponent had a really aggressive start and put me dangerously low on health, before I managed to exhaust them and to heal myself with a Greater Healing Potion.
The reason why I found that match to be funny was the fact, that I almost died by the opponent's stupid murlocs and at the end, after I stabilized, I gave them a taste of their own medicine. Unfortunately for me, the shaman player hit the concede button, before I could kill them with Bloodlust. If only I could!
Against Pocket Galaxy Value Mage
Picture this - the opponent managed to cast Luna's Pocket Galaxy on turn 5. And...
... I don't know what to say...
about that, except...
...bless the patch, which allowed copying cost reduced cards to be played with their new cost. You don't know how excited I was, when the mage opponent cast that spell on turn 5, while I had a Thoughtsteal in hand and drew Crystalline Oracles and Twilight's Call later on. I was like a child in a sweetshop. My first stolen minion was Medivh, the Guardian and in the first pic I top-decked Mind Control just when the mage played The Lich King.
It was very satisfying to turn the opponent's deck against them and, luckily for me, they were a fighter. They stood almost throughout the entire match and managed to deal with my BS, which made the game even more enjoyable for me. So thank you, kind stranger.
I hope mech Paladins never learn that you shouldn't magnetise all your mechs when playing against secret Hunter...
Shuffle 70 Scroll of Wonder to my deck in one turn and win the game (opponent rage quit)? EZ
https://hsreplay.net/replay/hekUyuHVgk5wZVx37dKSJZ
Funny facts learned while playing this deck:
deck has limit of 60 cards
If your opponent wants to Psychic Scream your board when your deck has 60 cards, your board just dies.
hsreplay is not able to show what spells are cast by Scroll of Wonder and by Yogg-Saron, Hope's End :(
I do what I must, when I must. Know this well.
Oh wow, you have a 17/23 mech, you say? It would be a shame if someone polymorphed it...
I've decided to try my hand at the Wild format, so I bought Toki's wild bundle and I got a clown fiesta of legendaries. I got free C'Thun (because I accidentally dusted all my pre-Un'goro cards), Zola the Gorgon, Wickerflame Burnbristle, Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale, The Boogeymonster, and Fjola Lightbane. The last three are useless, but I can't complain that much over this haul.
full board of Lucentbarks. Still 0% chance to win the game.
#bombwarriorlife
The same as in my signature: Deck ID Not Found
Sometimes the deck whiffs badly, but when you can get it right, and you plan/pilot correctly, it can beat nearly anything. Which is surprising for an off-meta Priest in Wild.
____
As for myself in this thread, today I met a Warlock playing an infinite SN1P-SN4P turn. Full board of big bodies on turn 7 or something. I guess he was already tasting the smell of overpowering victory against me.
I had Mass Dispel in hand, plus Wild Pyromancer comboes ready...
I had a quest "Win 3 games as Priest", so obviously I chose to play my beloved Thief deck and goofed around on rank 5. I won some matches, lost others, but the games I had were exciting. For example I laughed when I met this mill rogue, who wasn't aware of my deck's main strategy:
I also met a Reno Priest, who decided to give up on their burn strategy and go for the memes:
(they played Seance on my Archbishop Benedictus and soon after the 7-drop before drawing Raza the Chained)
I lost that game, because I couldn't draw my deathrattle minions fast enough and my quest got completed a turn too late, but it was still enjoyable seeing my opponent wanting to goof around as well. So thanks, Frau "Braut".
I would like to apologize, if I became annoying with my constant spams here, but I want to share some pics with you guys:
So there was I facing a rogue on the ladder. The cards in the mulligan stage were pretty bad, so I removed the quest in favour for something better. This decision was somewhat relevant, because I ended up getting 2x Mass Hysterias and Zola the Gorgon. Fast forward to turn 8 (I played Sylvanas Windrunner earlier and resurrected both her and a Dead Ringer with Twilight's Call) - I traded off both minions and got to steal the opponent's EVIL Miscreant. Since I didn't draw a taunt from my [Hearthstone Card (Death ringer) Not Found] and I was dangerously low on health, I decided to take my chances on the kobold, so I copied it with Zola the Gorgon (1st pic). And spoiler, this little fella helped me win the game.
On the second picture the rogue player cast Vanish (from their Ethereal Lackey) and gave me more shots on spamming lackeys myself. I milled all of my [Hearthstone Card (convicing infiltrator) Not Found]s and the Sludge Belcher came a bit too late, but the funny thing is that I didn't need them. The rogue minion gave me Goblin Lackeys, two Ethereal Lackeys for Holy Fire and Eternal Servitude, Faceless Lackey for Totem Golem and some other trash. At the end, I just found my Greater Healing Potion and sealed the deal.
Boy, I can imagine how annoyed my opponent was losing to such BS. And I want to believe, that I surprised them with the late quest cast.
F*cking hell, why do I always have such interesting matches! So imagine a duel between a Thief Priest and a Reno Mage. Normally my deck crushes other control ones and once I acquired a copy of Frost Lich Jaina from a Crystalline Oracle on turn 3 and played her first, I thought the game was over.
Well, not quite. You see, before I played the DK, my opponent wanted to meme around and cast Deck of Wonders. Fast forward to the moment, when I had only 2 cards in my deck - the opponent's turn began and their last Scroll of Wonder cast Devour Mind. Just in time to see what I had.
Do you know what those two cards were? Let me show you:
(+ an Entomb for my own Archbishop Benedictus)
So as you can see, fatigue was out of the question. The following turns consisted of both players playing the 7-drop and stealing it or other minions with Entomb. The grind was a hard one, but eventually I thrived at the end. I waited, until the opponent cast their last Kazakus potion and killed them with an N'zoth board.
What a great way to reach rank 4. ;P
So yesterday I got 80 gold from someone trying to complete battle a friend, went on an arena run, draft a fun deck, got a good result, got 2 epics and legendaries in my pack. and I didn't have any of them.
Both 0/1's from Sindragosa gave me King Krush. What are the chances?

The pleasure is mine.
My last standard decks: nothing special right now.
Played Wild for the first time today! I built a Jade Druid deck (don't hate me, it's the only deck I could piece together with my limited wild collection) and I've been having fun with it. I haven't faced any Big Priests yet, so...
I did face this Reno Warlock though, who managed to get a Dead Man's Hand (forgot how), played it, and THEN played Reno Jackson like a doofus. I've forgotten how prone to misplays some players can be in Rank 25.

I planned to make a win-rate section for my deck and I downloaded the deck tracker. I am still in the "lower ranks" and I won't play competitive today anymore, but here is a replay I want to share with you:
Bullying DH Warlock
https://hsreplay.net/replay/zAzryBK3fdqewF2EBRYibn
And I even tried to play Kel'Thuzad at the end for extra BM, but the opponent conceded. :C
I didn't think to screenshot it, but I had an amazing fast game earlier. I was playing beast hunter and queued against mech hunter, I was on coin.
Opponent played mecharoo and \I did have springpaw but that obviously wouldn't do anything really meaningful so I took my chances and coined hyena hoping it would stick. Which it did. Opponent just heropowered and hit face for his t2 and I took advantage trading my springpaw+lynx into his mecharooroo and hit face for 6. Turn 3 opp plays ursatron, I get huffer from ac and trade to hit face for 8 with hyena. Turn 4 opp can't do much more than play some card and hp, I dire frenzy my hyena, hit face for 11 and I hate myself a lot right now. My opp does too and concedes at 5 health.
As Dr. Boom would say, "Here comes the BOOM!"
https://hsreplay.net/replay/pqjp8byVecoEfUKv34qJSR
Today's goal was to make a warrior that can bomb and tempo out all the typical bad matchups of the class (mage, rogue, etc)
While testing, I queued into a token druid, then proceeded to curve out and push him off the board. Now, I know warrior is supposed to have a good matchup vs token druid, but I won this game with minion combat, not brawls and warpaths. The opponent's hand wasn't so bad either; he only missed his turn 1 and used full mana for the next few turns. If I can push board-centric spam decks off the board with this list, I can probably beat up some mages easily with the same tempo. There's no better feeling than getting the validation that your little deck tweaks did work
The icing on the cake was when I topdecked my Azalina near the end. His hand was only a couple buff cards with no minions to use them on because I killed all of them. Typical token druid problems. The following turn, I killed him with his own savage roar
TL;DR: was testing tempo warrior to beat mages and rogues; tempoed out so hard that I out token druided a token druid
Nozdormu really turns any player into a master of panic. My opponent played The Storm Bringer, then over the next few turns bungles over how to clear my board because of the fast rope. Lol
I love to win with my wild mill druid deck. It's not really competitive but my "surprise" finish (tokens + savage roar/branching paths) always put a smile on my face, especially after I milled half of my opponents deck. Neutralize and coldlight oracles are such great cards :-)
Added bonus is that it's not completely powerless vs agro (if you are able to put some minions on the board at least)
Woohoo won heroic heist. Had to use anomaly mode though but it was nice.
Just had a hilarious finish to a game.
I played with Zayle's Rush Warrior deck against what seemed to be a Whizbang Lucentbark druid deck. I had the upper hand in the first few turns and was able to launch 8 bombs into the opponent's deck with 2 Elekk's on the board, but lost the board when he got Lucentbark and double Crystal Stag. He was able to heal back to 22 HP and got me down to 4 HP while he had a board of 4 minions, so he could easily win, but decided for some BM. He played Nourish and chose to draw 2 cards... Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, draw a card, Bomb, Bomb!
I can only imagine his shame and rage on this delightful finish: sometimes, this game be really enjoyable!
Oh, such righteous punishment! Was messing around with my homebrew Big Warrior deck (Standard Casual) and ran into a bomb warrior. This guy played so badly (hitting 2/3 taunt security drone with 2-attack weapon, instead of trading 3/1 and clearing the 1-health Security Rover, as just one example) and got so lucky (cleared 2/3 taunt and 5/5 taunt with 2 boom bots). Then he got disconnected or something. I was still dead due to low health and 5 bombs in deck, but managed to stick Zilliax on a Bull Dozer and won. Hot damn, it felt good. I hate winning because of connection issues, but in this case, it was worthwhile.

Finally managed to get to level 60 with every class. Whoop Whoop
I'm running a Hecklebot in control warrior and it is the tits! Best moment was when I pulled Lucentbark from a heal druid at rank 3, then silenced it with an owl. He immediately conceded.

sometimes lucky! its not the most amazing pack of all time, but it's good nonetheless!

Glad you are having fun with it! I had the pleasure that Hecklebot first summoned my mountain giant (a free 8-8 thank you very much) and then my Antonidas so the game was over pretty soon after.

And before I can even play Skulking Geist my opponent plays into Eye for an Eye not once, not twice but three times. I won by Turn 6 without ever actually going face once. 🤟😂

Has any one ever seen a Mage try to use Conjurer's Calling on a Turn 3 Molten Giant out of desperation? I have. And its glorious. Thanks High Priest Thekal
Cocked, locked and ready to rock...
The fire adventure brawl. Built a deck with 8 pogo hoppers in it, combined with 'your battlecries trigger twice'. With all the minion copying (togwoggle etc) I had 20+ hoppers in my deck at one point - and 5 in play.
I've been having some fun (and some success) on ladder with Thief Rogue. I just played a game where I responded to their turn 6 Giant + Conjurer's play with playing an Archmage Antonidas, clearing their board, and getting four Fireballs in the process. They left after their next turn.
Tried to have some fun with some crazy decks this morning, so I thought what the heck this [Hearthstone Card (Crazy Chicken) Not Found] has potential.And I managed to win some games with it even. Very satisfying to get one of the worst cards in the game work out for you.
So I finally managed to defeat Archmage Kalec today with a double old gods priest deck with other goodies that finally gave me the edge over that prick.
Khadgar then proceeded to burn most of his deck and still had me down to a turn from losing but after some cthun shenanigans I prevailed and beat dalaran heist for the first time.
My prize from my golden pack after being screwed for months by shitty RnG?

Oh my God was I happy. Her animation is fantastic and I can't wait to use her on a huge trading turn and watch my opponent concede.
I know it's not much, but since I'm not an Arena player I was very happy to get 8 wins on my current run (playing on my "free" ticket ahead of the rotation reset next week so stopped at 2 loses) - this literally doubles the number of Arena wins I have.
Thanks for the reminder, I'll start a run now :)
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

Shaman freezes my Water Elemental on turn 4, my turn 5 Khadgar into Conjurer's Calling and get two [Hearthstone Card (Summoning Portals) Not Found]. Drop a Mountain Giant for free. WHEEEE!
Just played a game of Thief Rogue against a Mech Hunter (which I had a terrible losing streak against). They made a big 9/8 mech with poisonous missiles to clear my board but I had the most ridiculous way to clear it. I'd played Halazzi, the Lynx the previous turn and had 5 Lynxes in hand due to hand space. Fortunately Hunting Party came through to supply the extra needed Lynxes perfectly even through hand size constraints.
I got a quest with a pack reward today, and the pack contained a legendary. I'm always lucky with these quest packs, feels good. It's freaking Millhouse Manastorm, though.
Got a golden legendary from my SoU pack opening today, which is always a good thing. And it's a legendary that I like, too.
To pass some time in the SoU waiting room, i played Thief rogue on standard ladder.
I played against a control warrior (those are allways fun matchups) but i was pretty much out of value. My hand was full of useless spells and i was nearing fatigue when i drew Toggwaggle! My best option was the golden Monkey. He gave me a mojomaster Zihi and i managed to play it just before his Elysiana turn! Not only that, a random barrista Lynchen gave me Zihi back and i fatigued a control warrior to death!
I can‘t imagine a deck that delivers such memes more consistantly. It felt like the cards were printed exactly for this purpose! Can‘t wait to try out the new rogue quest now
Winner winner chicken dinner
Well. Latest game was really hilarious. I was facing another mech Hunter with my mage, and I have been tinkering around with a deck that combines cards like Mountain Giant, Conjurer's Calling, Mana Cyclone, Luna's Pocket Galaxy, and the OTK trio with Jepetto Joybuzz.
To also have a reasonable 2-drop I added Archmage Arugal and this can lead to some interesting stuff. What happened:
The hunter was happily pounding my face,but I had played the Luna's Pocket Galaxy.
And all of a sudden my Arcane Intellect powered by Archmage Arugal (which he let live for a turn, he was going for lethal) gave me:
2x 1-mana Alexstrasza, 2x 1-mana Archmage Antonidas and then the next turn 2x 0-mana Mountain Giant. I froze his big dude, went up to 15 health, he went down to 15, got myself some fire balls. He was at 7 mana so his 8-mana combo was not yet up...time to concede.

I just played and barely won a game vs a golden rouge player called DurinsBane.
He had the most creative rouge deck I have ever seen and it was a true pleasure to see his deck at work.
The only reason I won was a well timed draw to revive all of my Lucentbarks, if that hadn't happened who knows what would have happened.
GG bro accept my request and I will throw some 80g quests your way.
Well I also organized my own gathering to open packs and I got some serious number of golden legendaries!! OMG can't wait until tuesday. Only one day away! Almost.

This game was recorded back in the first week of the Rise of Shadows. So pogo hopper wasn't a thing before, it's just me trying new homebrew deck with Tak Nozwhisker. But as a result of the game, I lost it.
It's a pretty short game, just watch it. I haven't seen any crazier Rafaam from hearthstone videos than this one, or maybe I have missed one. anyway, I think it's possibly the most insane Rafaam's luck out there.
EDIT: Yes, I added this in good vibes, because it's a huge surprise to me. If an opponent does something insane, I consider it a good moment.
The new brawl extended schedule made it this much easier to complete the brawl's related daily quests.
And I never minded a quick game of chess

I honestly felt really dirty pulling off such luck. Can't wait to play the quest in wild (with jades). :P
First game of the new expansion - me with Highlander Quest Paladin, them with Quest Druid. For the first 80% of the game I'm just treading water and fighting off defeat as they naturally complete their quest on turn 4 then start going to town on me. But I manage to hang in there until turn 9 when I drop Zephrys the Great into Flamestrike to stave off defeat. Still pretty rocky with a lot of back and forth until I complete my quest and then turn the tide: Turn 12 Siamat with Windfury and Rush, then a copy with new hero power to clear the board. Turn 13 Tirion Fordring, then a copy with HP to hold the line, and lastly Turn 14 0-mana Shirvallah, the Tiger plus Colossus of the Moon to pull out a win I had given up getting back on turn 6. Very nice start!
Quest Druid is my new baby. 😊
Wardruid Loti becoming a 4/6 taunt, poisonous, stealth for 3 Mana is the most amazing thing.
Throw in a Lucentbark and a couple of Tending Taurens and a Cenarius and oh my god its good...
Cocked, locked and ready to rock...
Zephrys the Great is amazing. First game got me a Big Game Hunter to destroy my opponent's Flamewreathed Faceless and they couldn't recover. Second game gave me Bloodlust with a full board which got me to perfect lethal. I love this card so much.
-Hordaki (rhymes with Mordecai)
Check out the Tactician custom class!
My opponent beat me on 7th turn. I'm not even mad, that's amazing!
I had some good vibes with a home brew mage reno deck. One game against a quest priest I managed to get Luna's Pocket Galaxy in early and boy is that card good in that deck. Suddenly I could flood his board. He was able to remove 3 of them with his 2 plague cards, some luck he drew them both (awesome animation btw) but by that time my hand was filled with nice 1 mana cards and I could just spam them out to lethal.
Got the Scarlet Webweaver for free then dissed my free legendary for Gahz'rilla .. few minutes later

Full Ack. I've been messing around with Quest Reno Shaman and Quest Reno Priest in Wild (the new Quests) and Zephrys has saved me so many times. Underbelly Angler buffed with Rockpool Hunter? Hungry Crab says hello! Backstab to kill that pesky Sorcerer's Apprentice - well, thank you.
Had one yesterday when I used Brann Bronzebeard against a Priest with Obsidian Statue. Played [Hearthstone Card (Zephrys) Not Found] got a Hex and a Mind Control for next turn. He somehow got Tirion Fordring for his following turn, which prompted a Frozen Clone secret to trigger that I discovered later in the game, giving me two of them, then playing the Mind Controlon his Tirion Fordring caused him to concede. I couldn't stop laughing!
Really enjoying Highlander decks with Zephrys the Great so far, both in Mage and in Druid, really always delivering something useful, sometimes even cards that I never considered (as a pretty casual player). Also managed to pull off the Linecracker + BEEEES!!! combo just now: SoU so far is good times, good times!
Had a crazy arena match! I'm playing Priest with a 1-2 deck. Not the best draft ever. Playing against a Paladin who had a great draft... I'm staring down at a full board with things like Sea Giant and some huge taunts on it, sitting at 5 HP. I think to myself... "if I don't draw Mass Hysteria, it gg." The RNG gods smiled upon me, and there pops up Mass Hysteria! Now I just needs some more good RNG... and the RNG gods smile upon me again, clearing his entire board except for 1 minion, which I promptly Void Ripper into a 2 attack minion.
I'm barely alive, but have a chance! He throws out a Sunwalker and hero powers to set up lethal. Alas, it appears I only stalled my imminent demise. One card can save me, my single copy of Mind Control hiding somewhere in my deck. My turn begins, and out pops none other than Mind Control. I promptly steal his Sunwalker.
From there I stabilized and he eventually conceded. Praise be to Yogg!
That moment when a hunter uses Wild Bloodstinger on curve so you get your Mountain Giant on the board for free and the turn after you can slap down Khadgar + Conjurer's Calling to seal the game <grin>
Also had an interesting game against a rogue who had just put 8 copies of Zephrys the Great in his deck after he already used it twice using a Shadowstep. Still managed to win using some big boys on the board though.
i just got two legendaries (Armagedillo and Colossus of the Moon) in my ninth pack . This was the first time in 5 years of playing i got 2 legendaries in 1 pack
Posting here just to thank the devs for giving priest Wretched Reclaimer and Conjured Mirage. I don't care how popular burn mage is on the wild ladder, steal priest just became more fun to play.

Reached legend again just now @ 71% winrate with freeze mage!
This had to be one of the most frustrating legend runs I've had in awhile. Faced the final boss 7 times in total and on the 6th time, I almost fell out of rank 1 (climbing got a lot harder at ranks where people figured out that quest druid is terrible lol)
I think I'm done with giants based mages for the foreseeable future after this. I like to play decks where I'm happy to queue into the mirror because I think I can easily outplay the opponent. With giants mages, you will easily lose regardless if the opponent has pocket galaxy in a timely manner and you don't, which is frustrating to me (Although, one time I almost beat someone with that kind of draw: I had giants, chain freezes and made the decision to capitalize on them rather than try to go even and lose slowly... would have won if the opponent didn't power of creation into taunts in the end)
The meta was pretty stable once I started reaching the trihard ranks. It's mostly reno mages up here, with a number of aggro shamans, control warriors and murloc paladins. A small amount of tempo rogues, midrange/reno hunters. One inner fire priest that I kept queuing into. No druids or warlocks whatsoever

The pleasure of out-Tempoing a Kingsbane Rogue with my Highlander Rogue. Without even calling for the help of Zephrys the Great btw.
I love the smell of viability in my homebrews in the morning.
Just faced a Linecracker jade druid in casual. When the opponent pulled off the combo and gained 2k+ armour, they started emoting as if they have already won.
I was playing my Thief Priest deck and I said to myself "Bro. If you want a slow game, I will give you a slow game". At the end neither of us could kill each other, because we reached the turn limit. But I would like to imagine how salty my opponent was seeing that their armour didn't do anything than prolong the game.
Playing a random casual game in wild. I'm going up against a Druid. Turn 5 I coin out Skulking Geist and hit both of his Earthen Scales , both Naturalize cards and his Floop's Glorious Gloop, get fooked armor Druid!
And yes he conceded. Oooooh it felt so good.
Putting 8 copies of a card that has a singleton requirement seems like a bad idea..
That awesome moment, when you face Exodia mage as thief priest and acquire a copy of their Ice Block. The opponent was very excited, when they assembled the combo, until they saw what secret I stole from them, how I healed myself to 40 and Entombed their Archmage Antonidas.
Btw, sorry for the bad screenshot,
but I want to take a moment and praise Conjured Mirage. That card blocked so much damage in the game versus Even Shaman, that I was able to reach turn 7, when I cast Psychic Scream and won a few turns later.
thanks Ares but I still cant get it to work lol

You can now choose individual skins for each deck instead of them all being your "Favorite" one. Which is good because you can now show them all off lol.

Every time I start to drift towards being a little tired of Burgle Rogue, I have RNGesus remind me why it's so darn fun. To whit: Playing against Quest Priest.

Just pulled a very gross turn in arena:
I had Scarlet Webweaver, Violet Wurm and Stampeding Kodo in hand and decided to play the wurm, because there was a 50% chance to get screwed by RNG. My opponent had 3 3-attack minions and I wanted to play the more expensive minion first. In that game my opponent was way ahead of me and I thought I was going to lose it, until they played this:
I played a lot of burgle rogue today and was on 499 wins when i faced an Elise/Quest druid. The guy countered me hard, healed back up and took quickly boardcontrol. I was completly hopeless, he had lethal and there was nothing i could do.
I was about to concede but played Hench-Clan Burglar instead. And he did something, not even Zephrys could have achieved..... I pulled Time Out!! I naturally survived the next turn, played Tess Greymane and shuffled a dozen more copies into my deck!!! The next 7 or 8 turns, i managed to play Tess again and again, triggering time out every time, until the druid finally ran out of stuff!! Other than that, she summoned only a couple small minions, easily cleared by the druid ... at first. Luckily she drew an extra card aswell, so that the chaine could go on.
Best 500 wins finale ever!
For those that aren‘t convinced yet that burgle rogue is fun (and strong!), i got a Wild Bloodstinger against a Mecha‘thun - quest warlock just the turn before he could play Mecha‘thun! That was the only minion in the entire game that could have won me the game.
All of this on rank 3 btw, the deck is 100% viable (allthough very close to 50% winrate).

Simply glorious (see sidebar): Elemental Evocation discovered on turn 3 by Vulpera Scoundrel because "why not, I could end up in a possible scenario in which I've brought my opponent down to 10 HP and I would need a Zephrys the Great generated Pyroblast".

That satisfying feeling when you're playing against a mage, have them set up for lethal, and they start frantically trying to dig for their Ice Block, playing Ancient Mysteries followed by Arcane Intellect and after striking out twice, they throw down Arcane Keysmith, on the 3rd attempt, finally find their saving grace. Until you shatter their dreams instantly with an Eater of Secrets. Fuck you Jaina, no Ice Block followed by Reno Jackson for you this time!
Thank you Zephrys, for allowing me to top-deck you and granting my wish to be a Token Hunter, so I could smash this stupid Mage's face with an army of mechs spawned by a fallen SN1P-SN4P. You truly are great!
O this feeling when you can finish a long game against a Control Warrior when your last three cards are Khadgar, Faceless Manipulator and Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk to dish out the lethal for 32 face damage.
It happened.
It actually happened! (I mean, it IS simple...)
Silly Control Warrior, with maybe Mecha'thun alt win condition? (they had a lot of cycling) still couldn't beat my slightly altered Reno Dragon combo priest in brawl. Didn't help I discovered their Dr. Boom and played it one turn earlier than them (due to a Thaurassan tick), plus got a rezzed Thaurassan again from my Kazakus potion (fueling my Anduin + Spawn of Shadows burn a handful of turns later.
More control warriors should auto paste their decks into this brawl. Bring on the free wins ;)
To the dude who played Quest Druid against my Control Shaman and whose endgame plan was Nomi into Elysiana: GJ man, I did not see that coming...but there's a reason you play Elise in that deck instead of Elysiana. ;)
I just opened my last Packs and all in all I got 6 legendarys, of which 2 are golden, off 63 Packs. Solid rate I guess. Very happy with this expansion so far. :)
Edit: Just spent another 1,5K gold and opened Zephrys. Feelsgoodman

Some of you may know, that I reached legend in wild, so I've decided to goof around either with my Thief Priest there or with Whizbang the Wonderful in standard. I don't want to brag, but after playing some games with the latter card, I've managed to reach rank 3 (starting from rank 5):
So I guess Whizbang offers viable decks after all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Game 1 of the night:
Me: Reno Lock (Wild).
Them: Mill Rogue.
Mistake: They play the first Coldlight Oracle, without copying it or jumping it repeatedly, while I can kill it with Hellfire. The next one? About second to last card in their deck, and they're at 5 health with out of cards penalty already clicking in. And they've burned all their vanishes, saps, healbots and I have a wall of minions up.
Good times, and I think everybody across the deck spectrum hates Mill Rogues. But Blizzard, we could use more tools to defang them other than just luck and their own overconfidence.
Later Game:
Me: Quest Wall Priest.
Them: Murloc Paladin. HSReplay says I should've lost this, big time (only 28% winrate in some variations)
Mistake: Going all in while I can Mass Hysteria and Plague of Death multiple times to clear a full lineup. Or running their minions into consecutive Psychopomp that have spawned Zilliax with reborn (including one hero buffed to 6/5), giving me all my health back and killing his hand in the process.
Feels good, and you just shake your head on how pathetic simple-minded murloc decks look. They bust out Zephrys and I don't think he can just hand them a whole new deck and hand to fix the situation. I didn't even get to use the Fishflinger stuff he sent to me as a coup de grace. +3/+3 hero power and RNG gives me murlocs with synergy? Thanks for the extra ammo -- I'm not Big Priest relying on a few select minions in my rez pool, and besides, you forgot to kill the Psychopomps to ruin it for me earlier, genius.
Swarm aggro decks killed off my favorite archetype -- Thief Priest -- and bored me to death last year with evolve shaman and odd paladin, so anytime I see these decks humiliated, it's good.
Wild, r4, 4 stars.
Me: Even Hunter (homebrew)
Opponent: Reno Mage.
The satisfaction of beating a toptierdeck by properly tuning my homebrew.
Hadn't played ranked at all this month so I figured I'd get my five wins in while I still can. Ended up climbing six ranks with only one loss, and not a single Warrior to ruin my fun. Feels good man.

Oh well, lesson learnt, just do what makes you happy I guess :

So... a few minutes ago I said "fuck it, let's play something dumb for the lulz". The first thing that came to my mind was Magic Carpet: "ok" I said, "Carpet Shaman it is then".
I took the list on ladder (rank 7 EU) with zero experimentation and I literally clowned a complete Highlander Secret Hunter.
It's true, I got a godlike curve (1 drop into EVIL Totem into Magic Carpet into Cult Master into draw half of your deck) but man it felt sooo good.
The finishing blow? 1 drop into Snipe into Leeeeeeeeroooooooooy Nnjenkiiiins. So fucking good.

Are you playing on Mobile or Computer? i never see this pack opening animation before.
I play on both, screenshot is from mobile.
I do what I must, when I must. Know this well.
Just had such a close wild match, i was playing Renolock against a mech hunter.
Turn 5: I had 1hp left, managed to coin into Reno, managed to barely hold on with like 5 hp remaining at turn 10. Played Bloodreaver and just barely won the game, it was so close, despite him keeping me below 10 hp for such a long time, and of course topdecking perfect cards. That was such a good/close game.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

When a Reno Mage burns so many key cards :)
Edit: I noticed the replay doesn't show what cards he burned with Doom Pact. He burned Potion of Polymorph, Vulpera Scoundrel, Reno Jackson, Skulking Geist, Sylvanas Windrunner and Luna's Pocket Galaxy
500th Shaman win in the books!!!!! 3/9 complete...
I'm seriously proud of my Even Face Hunter, after many lost games, i managed to refine the deck, and hone my skills with it.
Rank4, 4stars now, and i could defeat Odd Rogues, Odd Paladins, Mech Paladins, Even Shamans, Big Priests, Mech Hunters, Warlocks, and even Secret Mages!
Surely the deck is far from invulnerable, even against the same decks i defeated, and it can suffer against Reno on t-6, but it doesn't feel like an off-meta deck anymore, while being absolutely original.
I wish i had a pro player to test it on my behalf, and see if it could become popular.
With so many quest shamans, quest druids, quest priests I felt the only viable approach would be to have some super aggro deck so I tried some home brew tempo spell damage mage. Sure when all your minions get removed you can resign early, but otherwise you have them on their knees around turn 5. The explosive potential of a Mana Addict combined with a Sorcerer's Apprentice is very rewarding.
Finally. After playing against so many combo decks the following decks, I finally faced 4 burn mages in a roll - the thing I built my deck against. Went on a nice win-streak and I'm rank 2 again.
I'm having so much fun with Malygos Hunter, 40+ damage from hand is beautiful.
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
Feels nice to outplay a SN1P-SN4P Mecha'thun player:

I know, that I should have destroyed my Convincing Infiltrator a turn earlier, so it's a misplay from me, but I really enjoy denying Mecha'thun boards by taking advantage of the inability for the warlock player to clear their board.
I crafted Quest Paladin and Tempo Rogue and ......now I am having an absolute blast.
Sure I am getting beaten more often than when I play with the Highlander Hunter, but I am just having so much fun with these other decks.

I just had this crazy game against a Quest Priest today as a Battlecry Shaman. He had this one turn when he played Zerek's Cloning Gallery, and though I managed to kill them all with a Sandstorm Elemental, they were shuffled back into his deck through Spirit of the Dead. This way, he managed to get some extra Khartut Defenders. Then he played Mass Resurrection a couple of turns later, which revived High Priest Amet and Defenders, which is insane because the reborn Defenders copied Amet's life as well. As the game progressed, he just kept dropping those extra Defenders with Amet on board (which kept getting +3 +3 through the upgraded hero power). He played another Mass Resurrection which summoned ANOTHER High Priest Amet, and it just looked like an impossible situation for me.
Luckily I had two Mind Control Techs in hand, allowing me to steal one Amet and a Defender. It still wasn't enough as his Amet had 16(!) health by then, and he had a board full of high health minions and I was already in fatigue. On the turn that he was about to deliver lethal, he roped, which I took as BM. Nonetheless, I said "well played" then hit the concede button. But as soon as I hit the button, the Inkeeper's scruffy head just popped in to say my opponent had left! Kinda felt sorry for the guy because he earned that win, he didn't deserve to be disconnected.
But that's how it goes. I'm currently 9-0 with Battlecry Shaman, which is a lot of fun to play.
Was having a lot of fun with highlander hunter in standard. After focusing wild for the last few months my standard rank dipped to 18. I played around with my deck comp and finally crafted Subject 9. I streaked from 14 to 7 without a loss which is now my new record. Kudos to you Rez Quest Priest for finally beating me. That was a fun match
Beat the Plague of Murloc 1st try by waiting him to turn all his murloc into full-board 0/4 golem (because auto-cast 2nd phase hero power) while filling my board with surprise murloc. When you kill those 0/4 golem your board also get buffed. Finish the game with the twinspell that gives windfury and immune and the Plague gets beaten by his own army. I don't have much play time because of work and else, so i'm grateful to be able to do this.
Good luck explorers out there..!! Have a nice day at the tomb..!!
Beat the second plague first try, got my 3 packs. Opened them right after, hoping for at least 1 golden card, considering i hit the legendary pity timer about 4 packs ago...
Guess what? Golden Elise the Enlightened! Guess i wil try/make out a Quest OTK Druid deck now.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
Just had an intense game vs heroic murloc boss,
I lost with him on 47 health and it ended because I couldn't play one last card to get mecha'thun out before he got lethal.
Also got a free Unstable evolution at one point and spent ages making a game winning board just for him to turn them all into murlocs the very next turn
Was so gutted but damn it was more fun than abusive rng should be lol.
I miss screenshot uploads. Can that be a thing soon please.
Quest Hunter is so much fun. Once you've finished the quest, it feels so satisfying to let your opponent fill his board with minions, only for you to spring Unleash the Hounds on them, buff the hounds with Ramkahen's Roar, then just SMOrc him to death.

i want to sit on this rank for memes.
I finally did it. Today was my first time I killed The Lich King.
Now, I would like to clarify, that I'm not talking about the last boss in the Frozen Throne pve adventure. No, I'm talking about the 12th boss in ICC (Wotlk). I owned him in 10 nm. To some of you this might not even be something worth bragging about, as people are working hard to do icc 10 and 25 hc, but the feeling of reaching the lich king, killing him and getting the Kingslayer title was my main goal ever since I started playing WoW.
Rasta Troll approve
Won the third plague boss in one go with the first try with elise. Not because of an amazing pick of buckets but because of the following:
I choose as my second treasure VIP membership. Which grants you an upgraded tavern (had no idea what it was but seemed like fun. For everybody that doesn't know you get 6 coins to spend and your and the innkeepers board is filled with 7 minions)
Well that was nothing to special but I liked it. But now comes the kicker with the second tavern I got to pick (for 4 coins) one of bob's bombastic decks which replaces your entire adventure deck! Again no clue what it was but seemed like fun. Turns out I got a 30 card deck with only pogo-hoppers.
The next two bosses I beat before t5 and the plague lord was more difficult but even when he cleared my board 3 times (and not overcommitting) I could pop out around 2 20/20 (and growing minions after every clear. So down to 4 health and I had a big enough board to kill the boss (who was at 68 hp)
Do long story short: if you like a gamble get the VIP membership ;-)
Beat Death Lord first try with Finley & a deck full of Murlocs and some excellent timing on Eternal Tomb shenanigans:
1. Got Rin, the First Disciple from my Eternal Tomb during Phase 1 and slow-played the demons, hoping that if I could make it to Phase 3 just as I got Azari, the Devourer well that would be an insta-win since DL would have no deck.
2. Tomb was queued up to give me Tirion Fordring right as the boss moved to Phase 2, so the boss's passive power kept resurrecting him - I think all in I had 4 or 5 Tirions before boss finally played Plague of Death and a different minion was Reborn. But by that point I was almost to Phase 3.
3. Phase 3 starts and my play for Azari worked perfectly - nuked his deck. BUT THEN the icing on the cake? Death Lord's Eternal Tomb gave him Hakkar, the Soulflayer, so I killed it and between Fatigue and Corrupted Blood he was a goner - and none too soon as by that point I only had 5 cards left in my deck.
The whole match, I kept waiting for the hammer to drop and things to go sideways, but they just never did - whoo boy, what a feeling!
I probably shouldn't post it here, since it's not related to HS, but I would like to do it anyway.
So today I did a quest in Icecrown called Tirion's Gambit. For those of you, who have never Wotlk before or just need a quick reminder, Tirion Fordring himself assigns us the task to accompany him in the Cathedral of Darkness, where Arthas Menethil's frozen heart, aka the only human thing left of him, is going to get destroyed, and to prevent that from happening. Tirion believes, that this is the only way to redeem Arthas from his past atrocities and to save the world. In order to retrieve it, we have to blend in with the rest of the "Cult of the Damned" members and go full incognito. Once we go there and a chain of events takes place, Tirion realizes that nothing good is left in that heart, all what's pure of Arthas is locked away in Frostmourne, so he wants to weaken The Lich King by piercing his heart. You can check the whole quest playthrough here:
And more about the heart here.
The reason why I wanted to share this moment with you is because I found it very funny, when we entered the Cathedral and tried to stay undercover. Tirion was like "Keep your heads down and follow my lead, so you won't attract people's attention" and I was like:
My purple hood sure fools them. They would never suspect a thing.
Let me tell you one thing.. Jythiros of Questions.
That boss is pure fun and one of the most exciting encounter i've had in a while. You just don't feel bad playing him.
"Let's go..!!" says the soon-to-be Sr. Navigator as she about to one-punch the Plague Lord of Death.
It feels so satisfying to OTK an enormous boss like him. With a boring 20 minute set up, an alchemist stone and khadgar's scrying orb in hand, and Bob's mercy, Elise put a zero mana Mark of the Wild into her trustworthy navigator and among others to deliver the first and final blow to death itself.
Beat Tekahn first try on normal, went to unpack my earned packs, boom! Colossus of the Moon. Then my golden classic pack.... Golden Brightwing! Luckyest Day ever!
But that's not where it stopped! Got my pack from tavern Brawl... GOLDEN Cairne Bloodhoof! To make it better, those 2 golden legendaries were back to back! (Probably normal legendary timer on golden classic, and golden timer on the normal pack)
Edit: for soms reason i decided to buy a rastakhan's rumble pack with gold, pulled a Hex Lord Malacrass! 5th legendary in a row... What is going on with my lucky today..?!?

I'm currently 3-1 with a Mage Deck in Arena. Doesn't sound like much to brag about right? The thing is, I suck at Arena. So bad. And this Mage deck is awful, sporting cards like Ornery Tortoise. But it's being hard carried by double Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron and Elise Starseeker.
They have saved my ass twice now, winning games I had no right to win. I want to apologise to my recent opponent, if you frequent this site, who had a brilliant Mech Paladin Deck but who got shafted out of a win after my Golden Monkey gave me a Reno Jackson that was active.
Sorry....
Cocked, locked and ready to rock...
Opened a pack on NA from the log in bonus today. Think this is the only time since playing I've opened a pack without a single common.
All generalizations are false.
