I was joking in discord on Monday about Whelp Bonker being considered whelp... I honestly was mostly joking, but yeah I had suspicion they might take that shortcut...
I agree with Demon's criticism about my card being a bit too weak, so I tried to improve it a little bit by reducing its Cost (and thus making it easier to combo)
Thank you! It’s funny how enjoyable writing a guide is when you really like the deck you’re playing. Even though I’m not done all of my previous guides, the last few decks I’ve been able to post have just been so enjoyable to test out even through the losses.
Definitely looks cool, but comes down pretty late. Might not be that great because of that.
Yeahhhh.. about that... In my limited experience so far, it's coming down way too early (in Druid and Priest decks) and it's just ending games immediately with broken treasures that weren't designed to be in Standard. You can't really play around them either.
I'm not seeing anything but old decks, I don't know what to tell you.
Not everyone buys the miniset on Day 1 and with the cards that were released (namely the two big Dragons) I don't blame people for playing the consistent old aggro decks.
I have played a handful of games and at least half have been against Kazakuson Druid. It's annoying AF to play against, so maybe count yourself lucky. It no longer feels like hearthstone when I'm getting my face beat in by QuelDelar and taking another 14 damage from Locustsss. These cards were created and balanced for Duels, where you have higher life totals and larger decks.
When Druid ramps out Kazakus on your Turn 4/5 they now have a 20-60% chance to draw a particular Duels treasure next turn that will just end the game. You can't really play around any of them.
Somebody manually tagged Whelp Bonker as a Whelp lol.
I too find this hilarious cause it means someone went "CTRL+F "whelp", Assign asset tag *whelp* to all, Save."
What's gonna be even more hilarious is when they go through the audit logs and find out who did it. I bet that person is gonna get ribbed so much by their coworkers.
I double checked, and the deck code actually contains Ray of Frost, although you cannot include it in your starting deck because it's from Rise of Shadows.
I believe only the missing achievements are scheduled for Patch 22.6, the rest is meant to be hotfixed this week and the next. The quest issues should absolutely be of the utmost priority, otherwise they will need to deal with a lot of angry people and likely have to figure out some kind of compensation.
My response and comment. Its related to the storyline. Spoilers at your discretion.

I'll be honest. It was so ham fisted the way they handled tamsin that the brukan storyline feels emotionally dead to me. It also kinda makes little sense too. For one thing, why is it established that brukan has to die to kill off tamsin, because cariel is still alive while fighting beside him. And another more obvious point: as a lich with a phylactery, how is it that brukan can even kill her directly?
I suppose the answer to all that would be "Just dont think about it".
Hmm. Was it an actual bug or one of the overlapping interactions, by any chance? I know that can happen between some tasks, but it's hard to tell without specific examples.
As usual. Big patch. Big bugs. But blizz would be wise to quickly fix the quests and honor issues at least. If there's nothing more likely to get pitchforks up, is seeing the already expensive game get less generous.
I just found a funny yet all but competetive way to use this card:
Since the damage link effect can be turned into a permanent link with Out Of The Way you can make this unit invincible first with Taric and then link it to every unit effectively soaking up all damage

I would honestly rather play against endless Kazakusan Druids than Pirate Warrior, Face Hunter, Libram Paladin, HP Mage, and Freeze Shaman.

I double checked, and the deck code actually contains Ray of Frost, although you cannot include it in your starting deck because it's from Rise of Shadows.
It's been replaced by Brain Freeze.

I had a bug that actually benefited me funny enough. Was doing Old Murk-Eye's Finvasion task and it also completed one of Warmaster Voone's tasks.
Grey Sage Parrot + Dragoncaster interaction
Parrot does repeat an Arcane Overflow reduced to 0 by Celestial Ink Set, so yes - it should copy it.

If we're to expect the fix until the next patch, is that mean we gonna lose 2500XP every week? That's awful.
