What Necrium Apothecary should have been from the start. Guess team5 learnt their lesson so this card now features a very crucial limitation.

This card is practically signalling that there has to be some kind of very strong deathrattle card in the works for rogue because there's no chance something like this is printed and there being no follow up (I hope). At the moment, its not impressive. But obviously with the introduction of better deathrattle cards this card can absolutely be core.

Im now absolutely convinced that the quest for rogue is now either related to shuffle or deathrattles. We'll find out soon enough in about 12 hours.

i hope there are some amazing deathrattle cards otherwise this will be useless. If there is one this should curve nicely into the weapon right?

This card is made for me. It's like Blizzard went into my dream, kicked the door down and forcefully asked me what I would like for a Hearthstone card.

There has got to be some kind of rogue exclusive deathrattle in the works because there's no chance this card is printed without one. At the moment, only two cards are worth the trouble running this, Ticket Master and Infiltrator Lilian. The rest are really stuff rogue doesn't typically need like Explosive Sheep and Death's Head Cultist.

Mana cost is a bit on the expensive side, but if the deathrattle is worth it then this will feature in nicely.

Mrgllll glrrm gl!

I think at least some are trying to be dicks and prevent others from clicking

6. Zillian/clock boy, don't run the mobalitics list it sucks. I have built a lot of brews that I feel are vastly superior to the 40% winrate mobalytics list, simple by understanding that these Champs need support/alt wincons

You can add Go Hard and that about it. The main problem with the predict archetype is that it's too RNG dependent to be viable, it's pretty common to make dozen of predict and not find a single Hexite Crystal, Parallel Convergence or Chronobreak. In order to be good they need support that can narrow down the card pool, something like Solari Priestess or Starshaping.

Sejuani, is kind of being cut from all her decks, the good news is her champ spell is quite strong, she still acts as removal, and sometimes can really mess up the opponents play patterns

She is only cut from midrange frostbite in favor of Leblanc. Sejuani is a lot better than many people give her credit for since she can counter most OTK and Viego decks. In fact a recent tier list by team leviathan (Which is written by Runeterra Pro players like Den and Ultraman) place Gankplank/Sejuani as a solid tier 2 deck. I also see many player getting good results with Swain/Sejuani.

Thank you very much for publishing my deck, I appreciate it very much to continue creating decks, I hope people like them.

I wish you luck bro.

Thank you very much, I will improve the guide to make it look better visually.

Although I agree that it doesn't really fit into the Hearthstone theme, I really like the flavour and of the most custom classes that I've seen this one seems especially fun. Of course it's too narrow and too specific.  Anyways, love it

So just gonna go through what I feel are the worst champions during the burst meta and you'll notice a trend pretty quickly where if they need to interact with other cards during combat to get value they tend to be pretty bad.

Champs that suck:

1. Vlad, my poor boy I love him greatly but man does he suck right now, and not in the way he's supposed to. Honestly they would need to bolster her drain to 2 per unit to make the endgame wincon of his deck easier.

2. Garen, being a vanilla 5/5 for 5 just isn't enough anymore while his level up is still powerful, leveling outside of concerted strike is near impossible. He probably needs tuff

3. Fiora, not seeing a lot of this lady around lately, because she's kind of a lot worse then the quick attack sticks being used for burst spells right now.

4. Braum, surviving strikes is just harder then it's ever been right now, honestly even just giving him 1 attack would help with trades

5. Victor, really slow and clunky to get rolling, and if your opponent somehow doesn't have a frostbite, a stun, a bounce, or silence on swing its a miracle.

6. Heimer, spawning a bunch of tokens really doesn't do what it used to anymore. Most decks can flood the board and require a lot less setup to pull off.

7. Kindred, he needs to kill strongest and he needs to be a 5/5 not much else to say

8. Yassao, so in the burst meta it's never been easier to make something survive 2 dmg and the good stun card (palm) is just run without him

9. Anivia, once again gains value on swing and thats increasingly hard to guarantee

10. Malphite, honestly the prince of Persia is soooo string that he almost makes Malphite pointless in his own deck. He also should work well with yassao but is too expensive at 7 mana. I'd say just hit his stats hard and drop him to 6 mana he won't be op

Champs that are better then people think:

1. Aphelios, apehlios tri beam is solid if you get the build right, also the fact that you can crescendo into the 2 mana dork and essentially make that spell cost 1 as you go for calibrum is solid

2. Jarven, total Chad probably my favorite champ in the game, can easily be run outside of Shen in fact shen doesn't really so much for him per say.

3. Ash, is a champ that gains value from burst speed interaction, and in the burst meta she's probably never been better.

4. Dragon girl, really good at surviving combat compared to every other demacia champ, while it's true she "gains value" on strike, you can force interaction post attack easily enough.

5. Kalista, fearsome aggro if built properly isn't bad and is better then people think at punishing burst meta decks.

6. Zillian/clock boy, don't run the mobalitics list it sucks. I have built a lot of brews that I feel are vastly superior to the 40% winrate mobalytics list, simple by understanding that these Champs need support/alt wincons

7. Thaliyah, plays really well in the burst meta where you can give her overwhelm, and have acess to hush to stop your opponent from making similar plays.

8. Lux, rated the worst champion in the game by Swim, she's not that bad, based entirely on her own merits she is but thankfully her dedicated supports cards are very strong. Like free detains are same as vengeance in this meta.

9. Vi, it used to be that it made no sense to have a 10 attack challenger because there were no high value trades to make her worth while. But thanks to all these she who wonders Champs running around vi has probably never had better targets 

10. Swain, honestly just a really flexible champ that's always gonna have a home, and always be a threat.

11. Temo/fizz/star girl cheap elusive have never been better when decks are increasingly cutting pings like vile feast. You can use them for value, or for cheap burst sticks.

12. Lulu & Shen these support Champs are probably underrated right now, while I would say that Taric is the worst of the bunch he's still very playable too.

Champs that are average

Tf feels pretty meh right now, I was just saying that 1 mana pings, and a 2 mana stun has never been worse then in this meta but amazingly just on the merit of blue card and tf chaining he can still be alright

Lisandra, none of her decks are scary right now, she looses to aggro and to combo but thats 90% of the meta right now. In a control mirror, or midrange meta she still gets to do her thing

Sejuani, is kind of being cut from all her decks, the good news is her champ spell is quite strong, she still acts as removal, and sometimes can really mess up the opponents play patterns

Champs that require 0.1% of your brain

All cheap quick attackers right now are insanely powerful. Just look at the massive deck presence of zed, sivir, prince boy, Draven, and even jinx still puts up good numbers.

As far as I can tell this doesn't seem to be a thing. I've made opponents using the infinite combo deck go through the motions of winning just to see if there was a limit

So far got two packs out of 2 days. There really is a massive lot of avatars floating about in the tavern there, and around mr popular.

I think the reason is because there's no logout button (or if there is its very well hidden) so people either just leave the website running or like me they hard close it, which may have resulted in their avatars being stuck in that world until some sort of refresh or reset is made. Just an interesting thought.

100% I get this boring card as one of my legendaries.

This card makes no sense to rate. It's only good if handlock is good

Good luck to all finalists! I have finally earned the privilege to name myself one after so many years of absence.

Yeah, I won one r/customhearthstone weekly contest. So my trophy case isn't empty. :D

This class is ridiculously unrealistic.

The portrait has way too much cleavage for Blizzard’s standards.

I'm not sure if you have seen, but that problem appears to be fixed. But I'm not responsible for that either way. ;) 

Ah, that's too bad. It is definitely poorly optimized for a browser game and can strain some older systems. I can even feel it on my own. 

It is a daily giveaway, but there is no lottery involved. You make the character in their game, talk to the goblin, get the pack code, redeem it on Battle.net. That's guaranteed. Myself and thousands of people have got two Barrens packs from this so far. 
The total amount of packs is said to be limited and may not last until July 31, but we'll know when or if that happens. 

Added the following paragraph to the article based on new information from today: 

"Important note:  As we've learned from the DreamHack Discord, the pack goblin is meant to be reset every day around 9 am PDT (which is 6 pm CEST). However, it's not so simple as the process has to be done manually and apparently takes a while (up to an hour). If you attempt to talk to the goblin while the system is being reset, then there is a risk you will not get the code but still get the corresponding achievement, essentially starting your cooldown for the day and locking you out for the following 24 hours. So be careful! Best not attempt anything at that point."

The hardest part of deckbuilding for me is that there are just so many cards, I always feel like i'm leaving important things out, and usually do, and then I can't seem to figure out what I need to cut. As a result, I end up playing the same decks over and over if they at least kinda work.

Another easy one for .a bleak weekend
