So I´ve ended up on lvl 251, one level above the expectation (the last one I´ve ended at lvl 225 I think). I´m taking a three day holiday from HS - will hoard the next three daily and weekly quests for the new rewards track. My gold count is slightly above 8500 (bought the miniset, 6 cardbacks - Pandaria ♥, Power Core and 4 preorder ones, and a few wild card packs). I´m planning to buy the next Tavern pass, cause I´ve been quite satisfied with it so far.
So how did you all fare so far? Did you meet your expectations? Are you happy with your results and keeping your dailies for the next track, or will you complete all of them till the new RT starts to maximize your current level count? Any other thoughts? Let us know :)
Anyway, thank you all for your comments, sharing your score/thoughts and keeping things civil. I will pass my torch of making another Rewards track thread to someone else - feel free to make a new one, if you want to - we can make this a nice community habit :)
Cheers all and hopefully see you in the next one! ♡
The final payoff doesn't seem to matter too much but, cost reduction on any cards is generally good, if you time a mini-completion just right you can really take control of the board. I feel like this quest might end up pissing me off when i play against it :P
One of those mini-Yogg type cards, a nice late game burst of damage and healing that could swing a game in your direction. Just needs a deck that veers away from the traditional weapons and minions go face thing, seems like it could be a fun card to play.
Revealing cards should start the moment the expansion releases. That's how it should work instead of all the theorycrafting and blahblah before it's even released. Gives lots more fun and we would see more variation in decks cause people have to make decks themselves and not everyone playing the same deck from the start. But hey...that's my ow opinion :)
I think it would be kind of cool to have the entire expansion a mystery until it was released. But sadly that will never happen because, as AngryShuckie mentioned, they would lose tons of revenue from pre-orders and the hype would be significantly lower.
It's literally just Dragoncaster but without the dragon part. That card never saw much play after it was nerfed from 6 mana, but maybe without the deck building restriction this will be different.
Slightly below average on the first cast, but everything after that is vanilla stats or better. As we have seen in the past, mages can have a tendency to draw a lot of spells for very cheap. Especially with the new gadgetzan auctioneer elemental, I think this will be used.
Odd that none of these guides - which are presumably for people who never set up a gathering before - mention that the gathering needs to be triggered through the friend list. I was looking everywhere else, restarting the app, trying on PC… 🤪
Also once I started opening packs, it hit me that without knowing what the 2 legendaries, which presumably will unlock on Monday, are, there’s relatively little point to open more and start thinking about what decks I’ll be able to build. I guess it saves time so one can jump right in on day 1.
Anyway, I only got one epic in my gold packs and found this: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/hearthstone/t/golden-packs-do-not-follow-pity-timer-rules/33948
Very strong, very flexible. People are comparing this to Twin Slice, but it is also Rapid Fire except it deals more damage in a class that can utilize it better. This card would already see play on it's own, but it only gets better with all of the fire mage support this expansion.
It costs less than Gadgetzan Auctioneer and has more health. The restriction to fire spells is a little rough, but with the addition of Hot Streak I don't imagine mages will have a hard time utilizing this.
What would this be called? Masquerade Rogue? Infiltrator Rogue? Not a Rogue? Disguise Rogue? A deck this silly isn't worth making if it doesn't come with a fun name :)
Hmm, Masquerade Rogue works well, but I'm going to be classy and classical (puns absolutely intended) and call it Janus Rogue, after the Roman god Janus who had 2 faces.
Mana cheating is always something to look out for. But I am skeptical about whether or not this will actually be played. Outside of a specific combo you would probably rather just spend the extra mana rather than have to go through the trouble of playing this and activating it.
