I found myself in a good spot against Big Vanndar with Overload Drek'Thar - Natural Force is nutty.

Righteous Inferno

For the Hoard!

I successfully piloted a few builds from this streamer to beat heroic bosses. He really seems to know what he is talking about ^_^

By the way, except for the latest 5 added mercenaries I have all the other mercs fully maxed out, so that might also play a role in the success rate.

I went 10-0 only to loose 3 time a row to Battle Tactics

Kinda surprised to see all cards are Shaman or Warrior.

Some early feedback:

I am glad, I will be careful from now on! :D

Sweet, just wanted to make sure you were the same person, so if I want to showcase your decks I don't have to create them.

The design is fine and the heroic bosses are indeed beatable. As a matter of fact, I have completed them all in the meantime.

How did you beat heroic Lok'holar? I want that equipment but get badly beaten whenever I get to the boss..

All I want right now is a new set to play with. It's so stale at the minute and I wouldn't be bothered if I didnt get Van/Drek if the Scholomance heroes had some new cards for deck building 😴😴

Very extensive and informative duels article, well done.

Side note: Shadow Word: Void by itself can win games when you drop a 7+ health minion and don't have access to board clears. Blizzard needs to redesign this card coz the nerf isn't fixing the actual problem with the treasure. 

You know the card is a problem when a priest can AFK for the first 3 turns and just play this one card and win the game.

That unlocking treasures and hp in duels is really testing the limits of my patience. The second hp for drekthar requires the person to play 40 spells at 3 mana or more, which is frankly disgusting. Most of the time you'd just die by turn 6 whilst only permitted to play 1 card per turn, and the minute you try to build a deck that can actually win and features a few spells that do cost 3 or more, those spells feel more like a self-inflicted handicap, like trying a 100m race on one foot.

In other words, its simply more efficient to build a deck thats 100% unable to win games but ticking requirements. Hardly a fun time to be had. Even the bs stormwind meta seems less rage inducing.

Perhaps team5 thought that since Vanndar/Drekthar would be here to stay long term it'll eventually be done with some coaxing and nose holding, but I fear that all it does is discourage me from playing these heroes at all. I dont play duels just to grind up requirements, knowing full well that my opponent is hardly ever going to do me favors. At least let us choose the damn classes, so we can build decks that can actually stand a decent chance at all.

Finished all weeklies and jumped from lvl 99 to 107 yesterday. Also reached Diamond 5, a new personal best, with just a few hours left of the season. Now to decide what portrait to choose from the rewards...

Quote From Pezman

I'm stuck on Popsicooler! Any tips?

Did it with murlocs, with subpar passives at that. If you have brightwing, then all you need to do is to deal with the two other minions that spawn with popsicooler and damage the cart, thereafter the boss cant really do anything substantial from there on because brightwing heals just too efficiently and the murlocs deal too much damage.

I am at level 253. Currently trying to complete the Gesundheit XP achievement. Afterwards, I will go back to the waiting room for the You are not worthy XP achievement to get fixed and the next mini-set to arrive.

What are your thoughts and experiences of the latest patch? And what is your current progress on the rewards track?

Ah, cool. Thanks for the source!

True, but if it was once a year that would give them plenty of time. At the very least we could get new heros/skins to play as. I'm so tired of the scholomance teachers over and over again.

I did. 

Also amazing value towards either of the old quest decks for hunter as well. Throw down your 1 drops/minions in general and get them back to hand for replaying along with some free removal thrown in. 

I liked the idea of a different way to synergize with having already Invoked, so I made this. Im happy with the effect, but I do wonder if the statline needs a bit of adjusting. Feedback is appreciated.

I love this prompt because I adored Year of the Dragon and this is so nostalgic. I wanted to take some of the existing archetypes and take them in new directions. I wanted to bring additional emphasis onto minion-based Galakrond decks, channeling more Elementals for Shaman and bigger minions in general for Warrior.

The original plan is still - I believe - to first have all available sets join in the party, see how that feels, then consider another route going forward. Tabayrak at least seemed open to the idea (in a tweet I recall seeing a little while ago) of having Duels rotations or more limited pool of cards in the future.

As for so many new or rotating heroes, I'm less sure whether that might happen, or when. It is a lot of work to create and balance them, so definitely a very heavy task on that scale. 

(We are definitely onto Guff's dark secrets now)

I thought so too, looking at that image! All credit goes to Sinti for coming up with the idea on the fly. 

First idea. He's supposed to make Armor out of dragon scales.
