Thanks to Alfi again for recommending the First Law trilogy, it was a great read. The ending was especially interesting and reminded me a bit of Eragon - it felt a little disappointing at first, but when you think about it, anything else wouldn't have fit the characters at all.
Right now I'm halfway through The Warded Man, first volume of the 5 book Demon Cycle series by Peter V. Brett. It's a super exciting read with a very interesting setting. In short, Demons come up from the Core every night and humankind has no chance but to hide behind wards in their homes. When one of those fails, they get slaughtered. The protagonist(s) grow(s) up in that world and begin(s) to question certain behavioural patterns of their elders. It's one of those books I just can't stop reading.
If you haven't tried yet, I also can't help but repeat my recommendation of To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars by Paolini.
Cards' cost have to be considered before the game starts. Therefore, C'Thun, the Shattered is a 10-cost card: it doesn't really matter what its effect does, just like Goldshire Gnoll.
Nice Idea but I believe it will be two slow for pvp because of the cool down. With Mulhouse last ability it could be a power house as it will make it trigger twice and also will make it faster
Hmm, it feels like I've never got some of these notifications back in the day. But that thread (and your initial one way before) have certainly served as fine inspirations. :)
You call it the stage 2 calculator, yet it appears to be for stage 1. It also took me several tries before I understood what the sequence stuff meant. Perhaps an example would've helped. Or had I known the calculator was for the first stage, I probably would've solved that a lot sooner.
24th September update: Life after Seedlock: PiramidHed's Jade C'Thun Druid, ft. Yogg-Saron x 2!
BEHOLD! The first deck I have played after the ban on Demon Seed. A rmour to help your survive against aggro. Big Green Men to help you last against slow decks. Is this deck a tier 1 deck? No. Is it fun? Yes. Can you win some games? Yes.
In this video, we play against Alignment Druid and Odd Questline Hunter!
I actually cant believe that you got Legend with this deck, let alone win one game.
I'm a multiple Legend/12 wins arena/blabla I'm not a dumb player and also played Mech Pally in the past, but in the current meta this deck loses to everything. All Questlines beat it easily, also loses to every Reno deck there is.
I'm at 0-7 now and only kept playing because of Mimiron (actually pulled it off, best animation in the game, forever I guess. :D).
Did this deck work against Questlock before it got banned in Wild? Because I really don't see it working vs. any other deck.
Starting decklist in pictures. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the 8 mana slot... until I saw Violet Wurm! I played on my phone and the only thing I have is the final match on HSReplay which doesn't even show the win/loss totals. Oops. You can see the final decklist in the replay. It was not great.
No worries, in it for the fun, not the site gold. I'll try to create this deck in heroic if I get a chance. I think it could do well... I just got terrible choices in treasures (aside from Cannibalism) and bundles throughout. Think I went 4 or 5 wins, it was pretty poor.
As Link already pointed out (thanks!), the last week was quite busy for me, and the free time I had was taken by the recent balance patch, so I wasn't able to pay much attention to this thread. However, I am now back, and I will see what happened in my absence.
Revaz142 - Unfortunately, your Questline Priest submission is not valid. I can see that you could've really built your deck in order to respect the restrictions, but the initial screen rule should not be broken. I try to be as flexible as possible, accepting HSReplay replays and such (even though I shouldn't and, to be correct, I won't from October), but if I were to let this slide then everyone would do the same. Again, I am sorry, because not recognizing someone's efforts feels pretty shitty, but I have little to no decision room here...
Evilgnomey - Congratulations for the Dude Paladin 12er! The submission is valid and will be uploaded in the leaderboard.
Aventurin - Hey there, welcome and congratulations for your feat! I am glad that my pre-made deck was useful for you. Your submission is valid as will be uploaded soon.
shaveyou - Wow, you hit 12-0 with that deck? Incredible! I am very glad to give up the lead to someone as creative as you. GG
It was published just a few minutes ago: it features some of the starting deck people used to hit 12 wins with, since the recent balance patch went live.
Mercs’ launch: who are you going to level up first?
I checked kripp video as well and his Xyrella hit the ground with all three abilities available.
Rogue has too many good cards
i faced a similair thing but that guy was more focused on hes weapon
Mecha'Thun Rogue - Forged in the Barrens
this might actully work
but hard add a draw your highest cost card and its possible to win with Mecha'thun

Thank you for this article, Avalon. I might enjoy Duels now. Going to give the mode another run. Just wish I was better at home brewing my own.
CHEERS!!

Thank you for taking the time for this even though you are very busy. Good luck with the Exam results ☺️
Oh btw I have a burning question: Does C'Thun, the Shattered count as 10-cost card or as 4 5-Cost cards?
Wanted to try a deck with him

Thanks for the congrats, but I'll point out it was 12 - 1. Sadly lost a game at 11 wins.

Avalon's 12 Wins C'thun Warrior
It was published just a few minutes ago: it features some of the starting deck people used to hit 12 wins with, since the recent balance patch went live.
Here's a link.
Avalon's 12 Wins Legendary Warrior
I totally agree with you: right after Warrior, Paladin seems to be the class that can exploit Disks of Legend the most!
Avalon's 12 Wins C'thun Warrior
Great advice, all makes sense (especially about the anti-priest "tech" cards)! Where do i see a duels meta report?
Avalon's 12 Wins Legendary Warrior
if you get the golden kobold you can have a lotta fun with disks of legends too - it absolutely destroys having two 6/6 taunts turn 3.
i think paladin with divine shield synergies but also a lot of legendaries to double dip into two good possible treasure combos is very strong too ^^
Bug: buy old adventures for gold
not working anymore :/ we get to see the adventure, but cant unlock it
