I couldn't say no to this deal, thinking I could get more dust by opening packs with the chance of getting more nerfed cards... should've opened the packs before I disenchanted though 🤦♀️
Side note: When I was disenchanting on mobile, I noticed it was disenchanting 2 cards at a time! 😲 must be a bug right?
Update: Got lucky in my packs and opened a golden Pen Flinger much to my surprise. Always thought you couldn't get cards in packs that you've disenchanted already
I won't lie, I'm pretty fond of my Prince Arthas coz I still remember to this day, all the blood, sweat and tears that went into getting him.
As for annoy-O, it's definitely the top meme/trolling hero portrait, but doesn't really have any special lines when matched against certain class like Arthas has
Just had the most annoying, frustrating, troll-tastic game ever. And of course, it's against a Priest.
I play my Rattlegore and it's at 2 health, and what does my opponent play? A goddamn Deathwarden then kills the Rattlegore with an Initiation to steal it.
What kind of fucking asshole runs those stupid cards? That guy's deck was heavily teched to annoy opponents, and I wish he'd choke on his food today, that f*cker. So goddamn triggering.
Nerfs did fuck all to Paladin as expected and Mage is still playable, but now it's basically just rock paper scissors because you can't lose against control and still can't win against aggro.
Basically don't play any "fair" decks and hope you can cheese your opponent..
I only played a handful of games post-nerf yesterday, but I did not face a single Mage or Paladin. I'd say (based on my admittedly small sample size) the nerfs succeeded.
I'm not sure quite how many packs you need to be able to craft everything with the dust from duplicates. I suspect it's somewhere around 200 packs these days.
On a good day a pack averages to 100 dust, but only if you are dusting epics and legendaries, which obviously won't be the case if you only open 100 packs. You also expect 5.5 legendaries from 100 packs (accounting for the 10-pack pity timer), and 4 were given out for free this time (Vol'jin + Rewards Track). So you are at 9.5 out of 25 from 100 packs in F2P. There's no way there's enough dust to craft the rest.
Beyond that it depends what type of player you are. If you don't care about owning half the set, then 100 packs will be fine. But if you want more or less all of it, then the big pre-order + saved gold pretty much does the job. Of course you could use up old dust reserves, but that's not something you'll be able to do every expansion unless you open ~200 packs.
Wherever you stand on this though, people can at least stop saying they don't get the full set from the pre-order(s), because they do once gold and dust are counted. The non-duplicate rules have made things so much better!
I'm only at Diamond 10 and I haven't faced any Control Warlocks yet. I played a couple of games with Secret Paladin to see if it's still strong. I went 8-8, though most of my losses were due to misplays. I noticed a lot of Control Priests, some Face/Midrange Hunters, Rogues, and Spell Mages. That's it so far.
When did the big pre-orders become a "useless amount of packs"? I fully understand people not having/wanting to to spend the money on it, but it's certainly not "useless".
The effect is fine. I think Health is fine as well, since most decks have minions on board that can deal with this if they need to. More than anything this would be a tech card against no-minion Mage I guess. Also (subjective opinion) the art is horrendous…
I like Ultimate Redemption a lot better, but it has to be a Priest card, because Deathrattle Priest. This card synergizes so well with a Deathrattle deck, that it would be a waste to give it to Paladin only imo.
I'd replace "player" with "hero", then find good art of a famous Priest character and put their name on the card. The effect is really nice, but just as someone pointed out "now" is unnecessary.
I have a hard time deciding which I like better. Sadly right now there are no OTKs in Priest that could be enabled with Shadow Conjurer, so I'd go with Fair Student.
I was on a nice winning streak and was on the verge of winning another game, only to misplay and eventually lose. Of course, after that misplay, I proceed to lose 4 straight.
Does this happen to anyone else? My punishment for a misplay always extends to several games, which eventually becomes a long losing streak. It's absolutely frustrating.
I think it's just due to the specific wording of Sparkjoy Cheat; the fact that it says "cast". This makes the game think that the player played the spell, and it wasn't put into play through a minion's battlecry. But this begs the question, does Counterspell counter Soul Fragments? If it does, then that means the wording is consistent and is completely intentional (albeit rather dumb).
I was not satisfied with any of my cards, so I came up with a new one.
Not sure if the wording is correct or if she has too much Health for such an effect.
About the plagiarism thingy, it's hard to tell if it's actual plagiarism or it's just two people coming up with a similar idea.
That said, in my experience, having two very similar cards doesn't necessarily hurt them. I remember that sea-themed comp where arkasaur and I finished in first and second place respectively with two shark cards which had to do with attacking damaged minions.
However, if we see that this stuff happens too often, it would be good to take mesures.
Yes, I just recognized the same, at first with Demon's card, but I wanted to wait for my second feedback before pointing this out.
I mean, I don't know if they copied someone's idea, or if they just came up with something similar, but even if so, it could be easily avoided, if the people could at least quickly go through disscussion topic before submitting, to check if they're not copying anybody idea.
I had once similar situation when I was late, and wanted to just submit without asking for feedback, but, I avoided copying someone's idea, by simply being cautious.
yeah, i can absolutely understand why it needed to be nerfed, i just wish they could've found a better way, like making it cost 1 more every time you play it in one turn. i was really looking forward to brewing with it in the coming expansions
why not? being able to play quickly to execute a combo or tempo off has always been a deciding factor in certain matches, theres no reason why it shouldnt be something worth rewarding. being able to act and think quickly is imperative in a ton of decks, this point makes no sense.
I think it's a shame they nerfed Connections, I really enjoyed quest rogue. The free 1-cost minion made curving out possible after spending your turn and a starting card on playing the quest.
Now I'd like to see all the people who rudely replied to this comment keeping their Kargal Battlescar (if they happen to own one) despite the upcoming dust refund.

I manage to steal it back with a Faceless Manipulator, but then he plays Idol of Y'Shaarj that pulls a 10/10 Robes of Protection. I play Brawl to get rid of it, but it survives. I play a 2nd Brawl, and it SURVIVES AGAIN. That's when I rage-quit.

Evil Heckler is still one of my favourites for that and it wasn't even that good a minion

useless if you've already saved up around 10000 gold for packs because everything missing afterwards can usually be crafted.
It just genuinely feels bad to purchase an extreme amount of packs for a large amount of money when all you really wanted was the skin.

That's actually quite a nice move considering that they are not at all obligated to do this since the Watch Posts are still playable
And here I thought I was being smart by not crafting him because I was sure Watch POsts were getting nerfed.

"Jump to latest post" doesn't jump me to latest post.
Thanks, works like a charm again.
