Is it just me or are these new xp achievements much worse than the previous ones?
Seems like it's not worth actively doing and is a waste of time. Maybe I was just more enthusiastic for them in the first time.
I'd say most of them are better because they don't require ridiculous RNG or owning lots of cards. Most of these can easily be completed even if you don't own the intended cards (except for the 3 or 4 that require specific ones that can't be generated through other ways).
They're just really grindy, that's probably the most annoying part.
Just want to ask, if i have a Tavern Pass, should i wait until around lvl 40 (20% bonus on exp, cmiiw) to complete these achievements or that doesn't matter at all??
I don't think it matters, mainly because the bonus is so small it'S basically irrelevant (also I think it's bugged because it shows I get 213 Exp for a 200 exp achievement and basic math tells us that 20% of 200 is not 13)
I think "Do it for the Vines" is bugged. I've played 5 in a turn twice now, but it still reads 0/25. Yes, I am sure they were all Druid Nature spells. My only thought is that Lightning Bloom might not count since it's also a Shaman card (clearly this would be an unintended interaction).
you might be correct, because I tried using Raise Dead for the Warlock quest and it didn't count.
Apparently Dual class spells are bugged as of this patch (but weren't in the last, because I completed the Druid one before just fine)
Spring Water could simply refresh 1 mana crystal per spell instead of 2. That way it is the same as Arcane Intellect if your deck is ~ 50:50 minions and spells, and is a 2 mana draw 2 when you draw 2 spells. That way it is usually as good or better than Arcane Intellect, but never busted.
Was thinking about that just today. Maybe Classic remains as a mode that's always available and they have a second "Classic" mode that rotates through different Standard metas of the past. Naxx, GvG, etc
Not a bad idea although at some point that becomes clunky. That said, my personal favourite meta by far was Ungoro, so I'd love to have that available

The 20% bonus on exp is on the 70 lvl this time, so I think it´s better to make the achievements now to get to lvl 70 sooner, it shouldn´t make that much of a difference in the long run imo.
i agree with everything you said except the quillboar update i would put it before the mini-set ( in may) then june mini-set and finally mercenaries in july ( i hope they give us some update this month trough i curious if it will be free or not ).
The mini set should come 2 months in meta (late May, not Juňe
Lunacy Mage is definitely meta, and its prevalence, not just WR, is destroying Standard for me this weekend. At this point the effect needs a nerf, not just the card cost. Refreshing Spring Water is also busted, and I have no idea how to rebalance the card without making it strictly worse than Arcane Intellect.

I only reached up to level 102 in the last rewards track, so I'm gonna make it a point to reach all levels this time around. Gotta get that gold for my F2P ways from now on.
Started playing again last night and reached up to level 19. Can't wait to see what my random legendary at 20 will be.
I'm gonna buy the tavern pass again, I want that diamond Blademaster Samuro. The hero portraits look awesome too (except for the Rokara ones, ew).
UPDATE: Got Tavish Stormpike as my level 20 legendary, ugh. I always get the ones I don't want or have no intention of playing. Last expansion, I got Deck of Chaos -_-
Had a hilarious stroke of luck while playing Lunacy Mage. I was facing a Hero Power Mage, and my opponent had gotten me down to 8 health. I had a wide board threatening lethal, but I knew he was gonna drop Mordresh Fire Eye the next turn and I had no way of stopping it. Resigning myself to a defeat, I just played the Trick Totem I got from Font of Power and hoped for the best.
Lo and behold, the Trick Totem healed me with Flash Heal, taking my health out of reach of Mordresh's damage.
Yeah, this happens when you quote someone and then want to reply to another post without page refresh. This is something that needs to be fixed eventually.

I dusted the 2nd copy to "test what happens", turns out, you cannot revert it, even if you don't confirm the dusting yet, it basically confirms it for you the moment you do. So if for some reason you wish to keep two copies, do not even try to DE one of them :)
That was my main concern too, do you think turning into Hunter with Shadowform could potentially close out games, or do you still run out of steam too fast? You could add stuff like Mind Blasts for more burn, kinda like Kill Commands.
It is not related to this topic, but I just noticed that the golden cards granted by the reward track are not disenchantable. What's the meaning of this? Basically I'm earning exp for nothing =(

You know what? Rhyming is hard and I'm not going to put a lot of effort into it.
I am swift to give and swift to take,
Demons are my preferred taste,
I could once slay heroes and destroy the fel,
