Because you then have to justify to the finance department how you basically gave away packs for nothing, at least nothing to blizz. When it comes to corporations, its never about making money, its about making all the money they can.
A brief look at the rewards track says it all. Standard packs, not alterac packs. And the recent deals was 10 AV packs + 10 standard packs. Why? Because though the price is the same, the justifications are not: standard packs are valued lower than AV packs, so blizz thinks its 'fairer' that way, even though they'd lose nothing offering 20 AV packs instead.
Who thought that these new 3/3 Imps should ALWAYS be drawn first ahead of any other card once they're shuffled into the deck? Can't they behave like other shuffled cards?
You definitely don't need more than 1 Ignite. It just pollutes your deck with another useless spell (as I said, casting Ignite at any point except the combo unless you really have to is a mistake because you need better chances to draw your combo pieces). If you feel that it makes you faster, you may try that, of course, but I wouldn't
Well, I've done 44 (8 casts) for sure in one turn several times and maybe more. The thing is, when you need to do a lot of actions, you need to give yourself enough time by having more combo pieces ready and not having to draw through a lot of spells. If your turn is Evocation->Chandler->Apprentice->Something-Something->Ignite x 8, you can easily do it if you don't delay.
If you look at my video, I've cast 7 ignites plus some combo pieces in 50 seconds (from 4:46 to 5:35) and I definitely had time for one more (44 total damage) or even two more (54 total)
I still don't understand why they don't use crowdfunding to bolster the prize pool and help support those that want to play competitively. They have done this before and they got to pocket 50% of the earnings + the $ after reaching the cap.
I honestly don't mind buying a bundle even if priced a bit higher as long as it supports the players.
I'm quite sad how few of Alterac cards are in these decks. I'd love to see Duels as a place where you can play more niche cards and not more like a Wild variant, where almost nothing changes with new set release.
Its a bug. Of course that interaction was unintended. It'll always put those imps on top of your deck, so if you can draw the same turn its just free 3/3s.
But dhunters being so shit in duels its hardly noteworthy. Fact is that even with this bug its still not going to carry you high up the ladder. Still, funny though.
From my experience and what I noticed from Regiskillbin videos Imp-credible Trousers are brokenly good at this time. It says shuffle in the text but opponents *always* draw those first. It's really frustrating when I encounter them.
Infinite arcane discovers from your deck. So in the first few games youre almost always getting something you've placed into your deck deliberately. At the late game, its gets more muddled, but its usually still better than topdecking answers.
Also because of the 2 mana discount, your brewmaster costs 0. That's very nearly a shadowstep in a deck that plays plenty of battlecries.
The issue that I see with bingo's strategy is that Encroaching Mists aren't easily summoned and take a good while to build up.
You usually have to level Kennen faster than turn 6+ to be worth it and this deck proably doesn't get him leveled fast especially if you don't draw Camavoran Soldier who you can't tutor with this list.
Also as I already mentioned the deck doesn't provide a serious payoff for level 2 kennen. Fae Bladetwirler is a quite aweful payoff for Kennen level 2 since getting atk on a 3 health unit without evasion on turn 6+ is nearly meanigless it's not like marks of the storm are dead cards on their own but without overwhelm units, Yasuo or Kinkou Wayfinder i don't see enough profit for Kennen to make sense
Avalon (or anyone really) if you see this maybe you can explain something...
Why is Infinite Arcane popping up in more and more mage decks in duels as the chosen signature treasure? With hero power mage it used to be Embercaster....I understand that Infinite Arcane makes you "immune" to fatigue in the traditional sense, but is there something more that I'm missing?
At first I thought that there's a yet another Nightmare salty player decided to announce how they hate HS. But then I realized that Swizard is the author of this awesome deck. And then I realized that he's the author of Wildest of Wednesdays series. And now I'm really sad.
Hope that devs will be able to redeem wild in your eyes.
This was useful. Thank you. I couldn't find this because the "HS Collection" drop down is hidden by the tool bar that runs across the page. I would have had no idea there was the additional drop down without your help.
This site is impossible. WTF do I get to my hearthstone collection? This information is useless when the user cant find the JSON screen. Fire whoever is organizing this page and get someone in here that can make this crap easy to find.
Try looking in top-right drop down menu (under your username) > HS Collection.
I honestly think wild is not in a bad place rn. There are multiple viable decks for control, aggro, midrange and OTK. The only type of game plan that doesn't exist in wild are grindy control decks with no win condition (and honestly I like that those do not exist).

Leveling Kenin off encroaching mists is an interesting concept.
I honestly don't see anything inherently wrong with it if you nail the tech choices and ratioing down.
I'd say keep it up!
