Made my first Draft deck this expat. Shaile, Dean of Radiance // Embrose, Dean of Shadow is really good, and it even has some other side, Embrose mumble, that I may use or not. The Learn/Lesson mechanic is strong (no surprise there), and Ward makes even weak-statted cards like Owlin Shieldmage hard to deal with. Lots of cards with only split Mana err... circles(?) means you can put some cards from different Colleges together without splashing. So while the flavor could be better it seems fun so far.
Pretty much my sentiments. Feels bad when Masters Tours get their prize pools greatly reduced and not even a crowdfunding bundle, but inviting mostly the same people (who largely stream Hearthstone 90% of the time anyway) over and over again is somehow meant to help promote the game further.
Yeah, I wish we knew this not at 4 PM. I facepalmed hard when the tweet went out. Half of Europe at that point was probably ready to jump into bed for the night, not to mention the entire other parts of the world that play Hearthstone.
I am more than aware that core cards can't be crafted. There's this silly immediate reaction still that everything in the game needs to be crafted outside of adventures because, you know, for 7 years Hearthstone didn't spoil us with free stuff.
I feel bad for all future opponents that I face during future Nozdormu Days because I will not participate. My old ass processor will not be able to handle it.
Thanks! Sucks to see Shaxy, Tyler and Fled already be out. They really messed up disqualifying Zalae so late so that nobody could take his spot, makes people take Americas even less seriously as a region...
Hi, I've been grinding Arena again recently and I find it basically impossible to win when going second, especially in a tempo matchup. Any tips for this?
Ah okay thanks for the replies. The possibility of it being just a visual bug did occur to me but I'm not really keeping track of how many wildcards I have so I couldn't see whether that was the case or not.
control priest is heavily underrated. not the spell version, control with xyrella samuro, cthun, some use yogg. it out heals hunter and almost every deck out there. its almost 100% lose to tickatus warlock but has a fair chance against most decks and just crushes face decks
decklist? i've lost every game since the meta update, no lie. its pretty hard to win when opponents consistently draw the absolute nuts and i dont. does this control priest draw better than absolute garbage every game?
no way you lost every game by drawing bad
i faced about 12 games in a row of opponents drawing or topdecking the best possible play, anywhere from turn 3 to turn 7, depending on when i had to concede.
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you are just a bad player and your losses aren't due to literally having the worst luck possible every single turn?
I am genuinely curious as to what one of your games looks like. Do you use a decktracker? If so would you mind sharing a replay of one of your games?
I usually write the post during EU evening when the Americas matches are still ongoing; I could try to make the necessary edits in the morning but haven't wanted to commit to doing it every week.
I can give you a spoiler for this week though.

Hearthstone's Forged in the Barrens Crossroads Inn-vitational Takes Place Next Week, Features a Round of Nozdormu Decks

Why would I craft the card which is in core set?

Okay, I got the drops after 4 hours. So that's some progress, well done youtube.
Now please for the love of god have some sense and implement the drop timer please.
No Champion Wildcard in this week's vault?
Ah okay thanks for the replies. The possibility of it being just a visual bug did occur to me but I'm not really keeping track of how many wildcards I have so I couldn't see whether that was the case or not.
drop on youtube?
Just to be on the safe side, always make sure you are watching "Live" (The circle needs to be red.)
Small lags can occur that delay you 5 secs and you are no longer watching "Live". So keep checking from time to time if you have the stream muted.

I followed dapperdogs checklist and this time it worked for me. I'm a few hours into the stream and have already got my first pack.
