Thank goodness for all these well written articles that come from Out of Cards. I shudder to think if all I had to read were drops from <that other site>.  Not to say I ever do... since Flux stopped running it, anyway. 

Gotta give it to Szychu it takes massive balls to bring a a Heimerdinger deck to one of the most stacked tournament of the game. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Darkness control doing so well.

Finally if your like me and hate Nami/Zoe, do yourself a favor and watch the second match between WhatAmI and AlanZQ during the semi finals, The match features one the best outplays I ever saw.

This was an amazing tournament to watch, with a fantastic grand final to top it off. HIGHLY recommended, even if you're just getting into LoR (I am!)

Usually I think Iskar makes some statements that are out if line with what I think but for the most part I think he speaks a lot of truth. With the quests answer... I can safely say he is way off base.

Right? I would have included Ragnaros instead of Sylvanas. I might have went for the trifecta, then, as Sylvanas' abilities are not compelling to me.

Actually, Ragnaros is Protector, not a caster or fighter.

Fair enough, but I didn't know that at the time :P Ragnaros was a Caster in the streamer reveal, as was Alexstrasza

Looking at the abilities of those two, I'm convinced there's something not quite right with the data that was mined. Same with Guff.

I guess it's possible that they wanted to open up fire synergies to other roles so you could have a more balanced fire team, but if that's the case, I'd expect them also to rework their abilities to be more in line with what a protector is supposed to do.

That’s exactly what I do too, I often concede against questlocks to get to lower mmr and at some point you face a wide variety of different decks. Back in Barrens meta I was literally getting above 50% winrates even in diamond with a huge variety of decks such as Gahz’Reno hunter, but that’s just not possible now.

19th September update: DustyScales Reno Shaman: For just one moment, everything was perfect

A miracle. What a feeling. What an experience.
Weeks of frustration with the Wild meta.
For just a moment, everything felt perfect. Is this a sign of things to come?

Congratulation,

Yep, well aware of the Flightmaster Dungar interaction with Battle Totem, but I didn't know you could actually double its effect with Disks of Legend.

Budget replacements for Duels is kinda difficult for obvious reasons, so it's difficult to give valid suggestions in that regard.

However, I still want to try: what cards are you missing?

Came back to complete quests for the first time in a while and remembered why I stopped playing. Literally 0 deck diversity in the meta.

Also fuck the questlines. Who looked at Hearthstone and said that some horrifying abomination of control-combo-big-aggro deck should exist. It’s just go face or bust, no slower strategies are allowed to win anymore. I fucking hate it

Honestly, once HS finally shuts down I’ll finally be able to get some closure on the incompetent Hearthstone team

I’ll have to try tha

Great post Flux! I appreciate the breakdown and all the info! I cannot wait to see more about the mode. 

I played to diamond 2 so far with Aggro-Druid.

Felt "ok" against Warlock. Not great, but not terrible either.

There's a concede button in the corner

Really nicely set out guide! It would be a nice addition to give some options for swaps as i dont have all the legendaries for the deck, i usually run grommash but am not sure if that weakens the chances to get the ideal "battlecry" treasures. Btw i also am a big dungar advocate, eventhough his battle cry only gets doubled if you have the treasure which copies legendaries, as the battle totem doesnt work on it due to the dormant effect procing first.

This one year is the new strategy communicated by Iksar

Weird that Medivh, ETC, and Lorewalker Cho are in the reveal trailer, but not in the game itself *shrugs* Got to save something for later, I guess.

There are a lot of characters in that trailer that aren't showing up yet. Nemsy Necrofizzle, Sally Whitemane, and Maiev Shadowsong are all given silhouettes in the glowing boxes part of the trailer, and Captain Eudora shows up in the art at the end of the trailer. They've got to save something for the expansions to the mode.

There are 21 more Mercs (7 per role) to be added probably at a later date.

Protectors: Baine Bloodhoof, Cho'Gall, Dame Hazelbark, Lorewalker Cho, Mankrik, The Black Knight and Trigore the Lasher.

Fighters: Aranna Starseeker, Draka, E.T.C., Eudora, Garona, Maiev Shadowsong and Serena Bloodfeather.

Casters: Death Speaker Blackthorn, High Inquisitor Whitemane, Kazakus the Golem Shaper, Magatha Grimtotem, Medivh, Neeru Fireblade and Nemsy.

What’s your best line up with Diablo. Curious to know!!! I love the character but I m not sure he is fast enough to unleash hel

Congrats! Very happy to hear that!

thanks

I hit Legend with this deck and I'm grinding my way to High Legend! Once again thanks mate! 

You can also run him in Shadow Isles using Spectral Matron to cheat him out on turn 8 or even 7 if you discounted matron with Oblivious Islander.
