Wow, Gotta Catch 'Em All has got to be the worst achievement of this expansion. What possessed them to set such a high treshold of 151 for this one, jeez.

EDIT: Apparently, this number is a reference to the first 151 OG Pokemons. Pretty off base to not stick with their own IP and make this unnecessary difficult.

EDIT2: After many hours of playing Beast Hunter my progress only went up to 35. So, still 116 Pet Collector summons to go. This achievement is just plain retarded.

Your help is much appreciated! Here, have some snow!!

Would be nice if we had some challenges (and rewards) to guess what theme next year gonna be.

Because I would've picked Year of Serpent. Close with dragon synergies and Pandaria.

But important events such as Roadmaps, Expansion Teaser, Core set 2022 & Card Reveal season announcements should also be in this month, yeah?

Is it because there's no fixed date that they're not included in this article?

On another note. if it's gonna be less than one month (FitB released on 30th March), won't it be too late to have the next patch? We still missing 2 achievements from miniset, and I can't imagine the time span left to do those when the actual patch arrives. (Minus 7 days like usual when the new reward track arrived).

Here's the list I came up with:

### Void Contract

# Class: Warlock

# Format: Wild

#

# 2x (1) Altar of Fire

# 2x (1) Touch of the Nathrezim

# 2x (2) Defile

# 2x (2) Drain Soul

# 2x (2) Gnomeferatu

# 2x (2) Soul Shear

# 2x (3) Blood Shard Bristleback

# 2x (3) Dark Skies

# 2x (3) Free Admission

# 1x (3) School Spirits

# 2x (4) Bloodbloom

# 1x (4) Hysteria

# 1x (5) Envoy Rustwix

# 1x (5) Neeru Fireblade

# 2x (6) Barrens Scavenger

# 1x (7) Chef Nomi

# 1x (8) Kazakusan

# 2x (8) Void Contract

I focused on pulling out minions since all of them are so high impact--the rest is just control and deck deletion.

This deck is very inspired, and I love that it pulls together so many Warlock packages!

It's truly a shame wild is so unfriendly to this type of gameplay these days. It also has so much potential in standard if a few more end-game payoffs were put back into rotation (e.g. Chef Nomi, Archivist Elysiana, keeping Envoy Rustwix).

Great idea, and great work!

Thank you for the excellent write-up Swiz! Very fortunate to have one of my passion project decks featured here. Your contributions to the refinement of this deck have been very helpful. Bravo.

May cost 3 after rotation?

I'm still sad that Maiev didn't saw a lot more play. If only they can buff it to prison enemy minion to 3 or 4 turns, then maybe it will see more play.

I'm pretty sure most cards that were nerfed in Standard will be unnerfed with the rotation. Not necessarily all of them, but certainly the DH ones given that the class doesn't even exist in Wild currently.

Priestess was only ever nerfed because she was a really good card in a blatantly overpowered class. Turns out a scuffed Ragnaros is really fucking strong if you're always going to be in a winning position by the time you play her.

Hint #1

It is a medieval card with the same/similar mechanic and slightly different stats and no longer allowed in Standard.

Hint #2

What does a fireworks show usually end with ?

These were the most helpful for me too, thanks :)

"Cards that I will miss but my enemies won't."

I am your enemy.

That said, if you haven't yet seen this round 6 game from Masters Tour Onyxia's Lair, you absolutely should witness these special moments of random magic.

Well said, that game was just bonkers 🤣

Okay, so I made good progress on my own, but I just recently hit a wall and can't seem to progress anymore. Only 2 away from completing the HS section, and those have yet to be asked about, so I'm reaching out for hints on the following clues - thanks in advance;

We didn't always have Frostsaber Matriarch. About 6 years ago, we had this instead.

You'd have to know how many of each card you had before the reward was opened, in order to know if anything was added. Otherwise, I don't know of any way to see what was most recently added.

So basically there's no way to know? It might even have been lost? Damn this sucks. Tried to go through my epics for possible new ones but I can't be sure...

So I just finished an expedition and when I tried to claim the rewards some error popped up to try again later. I reset the game and it seems as gone now.

So either a) It's simply gone
            or b) The rewards/cards were automatically added to collection

Problem is, how can I know for sure if its a or b? Is there a way to see if something was added to my collection? Any ideas?

EDIT: Might be irrelevant, but I was playing from a phone.

Cards I will miss from AoO

- Shadowjeweler Hanar - Who doesn't like a secret jamming engine. Too bad the meta has often moved past needing board to win

- Hand of Gul'dan - Probably one of the best discard support out there and single handedly made zoolock a thing...in the past anyway

- Warmaul Challenger - One of my favs from this set

- Librams - If you want to know why this has stuck through 2 years? Its because paladin is probably the most fair class of them all. This is the only powerful thing paladin gets to do and I will sorely miss it. When Pen Flinger got nerfed, it was because of rogue, not paladin, who desperately need it then and still do now.

Cards I will definitely NOT miss from AoO

- Overgrowth - Its has NOT been fun, both for druids who instant lose without it, and for those facing druids who instantly lose because of it. Like seriously team5, stop designing druids that win/lose games on its own.

- Glowfly Swarm - See above

- Fungal Fortunes - To think that this was once 2 mana. Like seriously.

- Incanter's Flow - Nerfed twice, and still currently one of my personal most hated card in hearthstone history.

- Astromancer Solarian - In its heyday, this one card would just steal wins from everyone. Its scary to see this no longer being viable and yet here we are.

ah ha HEM

The cards we'll miss
They gave us bliss
To wild, they will rotate
This rotation I hate

Youre welcome.

You can target me if you want, my body is ready for helping you

Honestly, Ashes of Outland was my least favorite standard set because I disliked Librams and T5 kept on pushing them so I felt pretty alienated from Paladin. I think I am personally going to miss Scrapyard Colossus because it was an enabler of so many different decks.

Quote From Maurice

I slowly come to the conclusion that this is the most cancerous control meta we ever had in Standard. :)

I don't want to sound like a... "not so nice" person, but did you play during Rise Of Shadows? That Control Warrior meta 1000% was worse than this meta. If you didnt, imagine 30 minute to 1 hour games, and the wincon was purely "Whoever bounces Archivist Elysiana the most wins", and after the Archivist Elysiana nerf, the control warrior with the Coin insta-won because only they could still bounce Archivist Elysiana.

Real players play wild.
