In fairness, they didn't promise anything about the timing of the Mercs. mode. True, it had been listed as a 'new game mode' in both the Year of the Phoenix and Gryphon schedules, but all direct mention of the mode has said it will be ready when its ready. It's a bit frustrating for us for a while, but it's the best approach imo.

Its is relavent because there are "gate keepers" at the beginning of silver.

This is a phenomenon in all card games where experienced players troll lower ranks with meta decks.

And I always like players who share newer lists regardless of experience levels

Is this and the previous articles going to be updated for the mini-set achievements? I'd like to see if it's even possible to make a deck to tackle all 4 achievements at once for each class.

Yea, but so far everyone I've seen reporting found a legendary within first 10 packs. We'll have to wait and see.

Desktop version is updating as we speak. But yes, mobile patches are usually a few hours later.

You might be missing, for example, the Whole GVG and just a legendary and epic from TGT (let's think it is usefull somehow) then you open wild packs and have a chance to open those 2 cards while opening other stuff you might need.

In my case I am just missing 2 legendaries from outland and nothing else. I would preffer trying to pull them via standar packs

I am very low level (yet) new player that casually plays runeterra so probably my expiriense is not very relevant. But I was able to climb pretty quickly from the bottom to gold with my brew anti meta deck (Dimassia\Targon) based on Garen\ASol + dragons. And Irelia\Asir is actually easyest deck to play against.

It also works good enough vs Trash\Nasus and Lysandra\Trandl (the last one is most difficult from unholy tryo). It also works vs Draven and different forms of Noxus aggro but I do not see them too often this days.

The most problematic for me is "Deep" and some rare decks like Lysandra\Zilean turbothralls or mono-Shurima Asir. IDK why.

I was excited to see this card simply for the Kael'thas Sunstrider activator potential :D

In reality, I think we'll see this most common as a result of Wandmaker generating Resizing Pouch which can then guarantee Serpentbloom when played on 1-mana.  

I can't confirm anything but I got a legendary on my first wild pack. Will try standar next

Edit: Got my legendary on the 4th standar pack!

What is the different by this compared to buying packs for each xpac... cant you do that now?

I still think you're special, linkinboy0. 

Guessing usual patch delay on mobile?!  Got a notification about card backs in shop but there was no update, can’t get the bundle in the shop, and no card packs/portraits in shop either.

I'm afraid so, some folks just don't have a clue (probably even about specific achievements existing, as you say). You could ask our own FrostyFeet about his personal relationship with Plaguemaw for a proper long frustrated rant. ;)

People just see a perceived threat and throw everything they have at it, with it being so hard to imagine somebody might not be playing just to win at all cost. 

Hope it doesn't get to you too much, there are also rare individuals out there who catch up quickly and choose to play along. I'm always happy to give them a win afterwards. 

Here’s hoping the low quality of recent patches is just because of the work on the champion expansion like they said and not their design philosophy moving forward

The real question is, when are we getting the mercenaries MODE? I'm tired of these single player storylines with book of heroes/book of mercenaries.  I want the Roguelite mercenaries mode that they promised for Q1/Q2. :(

open before because there's a higher chance you get cards that might get nerfed in the near future (even if nothing in this set looks nerf-worthy at all)

If you're still missing rares or commons from before then you should open afterwards obviously

I was gonna say this, I'd be really tempted to buy that!

Ooh, shiny! Could you also add golden versions of the generated cards? (In particular, the Adventurers?)

I greet my opponent, I don't attack when doing the Rotmaw achievement and they still kill it first for some reason. I guess people don't do achievements even if they are for XP so they are scared of it. I even attack my own minions with spells and they still don't get it.

A simple and maybe dumb question... Will these packs have duplicate protection? 

well that's suxx, i liked having a guaranteed epic box each cycle.

I'm at level 97, and it's really a grind when your quest tray is empty. You need to complete your daily quest for 1000+ xp, then play a minimum of three hours to reach the next level. That's with me playing a grindy deck like Corrupt Priest whose games take so long, with 100+ xp attained per game. 

I only need one more level to be able to get a Tier 2 hero skin. I'm really at a dilemma over which Tier 2 portrait to choose. I've narrowed down my choices to Valeera, Thrall, Jaina, or Malfurion, but my problem is I don't play these classes that much these days. Gaaah, I'll cross this bridge again when I get there tomorrow. 

As for the Tier 1 hero portraits on level 100, I'm torn between Gul'dan, Malfurion, and Illidan. Might choose the former, but there's the problem again of not playing Warlock that much recently...decisions, decisions.

Actually if you buy the mini set for gold it doesn't matter if you open it before the release or after you bought the mini set for gold. What you should not do is to open the packs while you haven't purchased the mini set. So if you don't have the 2000 gold, packs are for keep for a few days.
