"We have plans to introduce new archetypes, some of which will definitely be non-aggro"

"some of which"... implying most of the new archetypes are not non-aggro. Would be disappointing if so - aggro has already enjoyed dominance for much of Hearthstone's history while being further incentivized as a faster way to climb the ladder. I'd love to play cool, expensive cards but it's hardly possible when games tend to end by turn 5, especially in Wild. Please, Dean, let's make ALL of the new archetypes non-aggro!

good for shadow priest

"Not likely to see a Tavern Pass get added to a Mega Bundle."

Well, Dean, as far as I'm concerned, you are the ones who will be losing.

The 46% is refering to the chances of not finding one of those cards by the turn. Sorry if that was not clear enough.

As for how most of calculations were done, there is too many ways of calculating, these being either hypergeometric distribution, which finds the odds of finding success given a total population size, the amount of successes within the total population, the sample size, and the amount of successes we want to see. The other method is through a formula such as 1-((x-4)*(x-5)*(x-6)*etc)/(x*(x-1)*(x-2)*etc), where X is the cards in deck. What this equation does is calculate the chances of not drawing the desired card, and then the 1- part finds 'flips it' to figure out the chances of drawing the cards we want.

Primordial Protector definitely has a lot of potential in these decks, but I feel more often than not its just too clunky for its own good. By the time you have reached the final step of the quest, usually you will have drawn the 7 drop and 8 drop already. As for tutoring for the reward, sure that certainly helps with casting the card as soon as possible, but at that point it is not really an 8 drop for the quest and it hurts the odds quite a bit. Does the flexibility still outweigh this? Probably, but I still think just better tools to stave off aggro might be more useful.

Also, encase it is not obvious, this list I was using the math with is a bit of a hot mess in terms of what is being ran. I did not have a clear idea of what this deck should be while making it and I think it shows very clearly.

I usually like writing guides, but one of my principles is to never post a deck before I test it. Good luck to everyone who competes!

Probably good, even better in wild

It is a good card for questline, but not even sure you always run it, more like a tech choice that is meta dependent...

Really good board clear... Sign me up

you might just want this in shadow priest, because you need some spells with lifesteal

Hm there are some decks that might want this, especially questline

I mean it is way too situational, even in DH that draws a lot it will be clunky probably

No, don't see it doint much of anything at al

You say 54% chance of seeing one copy of these cards by turn 1, then in the next sentence it's 46%.

I realized I have no clue how to calculate that. I figure going first in the mulligan since one slot is taken by the questline, that's 4/29, then 4/28, and if you toss those 2, then 4/27, then 4/26. Finally, 4/27 again to draw at the start of turn 1. If I add those together I get 73%, and multiplying gets me some ridiculously tiny number.

This is deckbuilding bait.

No Quest deck should run this over Venomous Scorpid. While one may think "wow, Quest synergy, must include", Scorpid is just a better card. A 3/4 that's only active for some of the game or an infinite/3 that always gets you a spell. The choice is obvious.

Interesting removal and value card...

Sounds nice, but then you think about it and it doesn't sound nice

Hm interesting Vilespine Slayer but only works in specific deck

Decent quest but not as good as some other

card doesn't have synergy with itself, so there is a bit of problem there

weird, but can be ok in shadow priest
