What card should I craft?

Submitted 5 years, 6 months ago by

I want to craft up Mech Paladin, since it's been a deck that I've been interested since Boomsday, and now that it's pretty good, I feel like it's prime time to craft it. The problem is, I'm missing the two epics: Prismatic Lens and Glowstone Technician, and I (currently) only have 1000 dust. Is it better to go for 2 of either, or 1 of both? Since with the Glowstone Technician buffs, it's now a pretty strong handbuff card, without even losing too much tempo. However, Prismatic Lens provides some much needed draw for the deck, and with all the cheap spells it can reduce the cost of minions you draw. What should I craft, and what are some potential replacements I can use until I get the cards? 

P.s. Also no, I'm not going to spend my dust elsewhere, so don't reply with "the deck is bad just craft token druid 4Head" please.

    I haven’t played the deck, but I’d put 2 copies of Prismatic Lens on top. Draw just seems too important when you’re looking to magnetize a lot of minions. Plus, it has a place in other archetypes, like the Holy Wrath OTK, so you can get some decent mileage outside of the Mech list

    We don't know if it's pretty good yet. It might still be vastly overshadowed by bomb hunter for all we know.

    If you really want to craft it then I'm inclined to agree with OmarComing. Prismatic Lens should be your first craft.

    If you are that low on dust you shouldn't craft anything yet. I don't feel like mech pally will be meta and you are just going to waste your dust.

    don't listen to him, do whatever you want with your dust, Hearthstone is not about getting legend, its about fun.,

    I'm playing mech paladin because I love paladin in general but that said I don't know that I'd craft anything special for it. Paladin just isn't in a good place right now. Maybe the buffs will help a little but I'm skeptical. We're at the bottom of the meta as a class right now.

    Craft one of each, then play some arena to build up dust. :)

    Zilliax is a must-have from TBD. Doubly so for any kind of mech or magnetic list.

    That wasn't an option.

    Did it specifically state 'oh, by the way Zilliax is a no-go. Not now, not ever.'? No? Then Zilliax is still a high value card from TBD.

    He stated: "I'm missing these four epics, which one should I craft?". Last time I checked Zilliax wasn't an epic, nor was it mentioned anywhere in the OP.

    So again: That wasn't an option.
