Cool looking card, could be very strong depending on the Deathrattles. You probably wouldn't want to go lower than (4) cost for this one. Would like this archetype to work.
Can someone please nerf this nonsense rogue stealth deck. I thought, non interactive games where a thing, blizzard did not want? Well played. I started to play this deck right now, because I was really fed up and well - I went from Legend 9000 to 4000 in less than an hour. Great design. I love Secret Passage especially. It's like: "Hey - you were not playing card efficient? Here, get 4 new cards."
How can one even lose with this deck (set aside mirror matches).
I´m wondering this too, since the new exp releases on Tuesday. It could be worth it to wait a day completing the three Weekly quests (still it´s very unlikely to complete all of them on Monday).
I've been playing this exact deck a lot recently, and I can tell you all that it is fun as hell, and very competitive. As with any value-oriented control deck, aggro will sometimes rush you down, but the amount of healing available through Armor Vendor and Aranasi Broodmother is significant. Tickatus can be a pain if he burns your Envoy Rustwix or Kanrethad Ebonlocke, but otherwise you should be able to generate enough Primes to make up for other lost cards. Other control decks can all be handled with a bit of luck and smart enough plays.
Thought this could be a fun little thread where we all share the deck (or decks) we're playing in the final week of the Year of the Phoenix. Personally, I'm giving my favourite deck over the last two years a farewell tour. My Big Paladin has been getting more and more great big minions such as Scrapyard Colossus, Plagued Protodrake and Runaway Blackwing in the Year of the Phoenix but some key cards are rotating in a week's time, like Colossus of the Moon and Duel!. Who knows? The deck may be able to survive rotation, but just in case it doesn't, I want to give it one last go this week.
This probably depends a lot on where you are on the current rewards track. If you're at the point where all levels are 1500 XP for 50 gold, then you probably play enough to get back to that point without the extra boost of delaying your weekly quests. Under that model, the delay really just means you get back to that 1500 point a tiny bit sooner, so it's kind of like trading levels of 50 gold now for levels of 50 gold later. Any difference probably comes out in the wash, so the only factor I'd consider here your answer to the question "am I happy with the amount of gold I have going into the next expansion?"
If you're not at that point yet, and particularly if you're at a point where your weekly quests together only get you about 1 level up, I'd be more inclined to save up the quests and get a head start on the next track.
21st March update: Duwin's Tonk Deathrattle Hunter, ft. Sylvanas
Need a deck to cheer you up? Need something a little different? Duwin's Tonk Hunter is all you need.
Key points to note:
- Darkmoon Tonk can end games. - Sylvanas can steal big minions. - If all else fails, Deathstalker Rexxar can back you up! - This is a cool off-meta deck that nobody is playing, you have the surprise factor! In this video, we face a Demon Hunter, Renolock and Big Priest.
Im not entirely sure its a good idea, because without the benefit of history we don't really know if the quests will reset once the new reward track comes in. It did during darkmoon, but that was admitably a larger jump from the old to the new. And big patches are often code word for 'lots of bugs attached' which can screw the unprepared.
For me, I'll be finishing as many as I can until the new patch release. Just in case. It really doesn't matter at the end anyway.
Let's not go crazy: we're talking about a 3/3 minion... although it might as well be an even bigger minion
Absolutely every class would have tools to easily remove it without resorting to its minions attacking it directly: spells, weapons, rush/charge minions, battlecries and other minion effects ... there's even a tech card: Living Dragonbreath!
As we now on March 25th the new Reward track will release. So it will be most likely optimal to hold on weekly quests until Thursday to have a small kick for new Reward track, right?
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Super flavorful card, really strong too, with great art. One of my favorites from cards revealed so far. 5 starred this one :)
Reward track strategy
Highly doubt the quests would get reset, or that you would get a new batch on xpac launch. At best we get some legendary quests to get some packs.
I wouldnt hold on to quests from previous track, it should still be a decent ratio to trade 1500 xp for 50g, assuming you are pass LVL50.
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
Played on 3, this is really annoying engine to deal with. Really good tech against aggro, let alone tower synergy.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Too bad tokens don't have Taunt/Rush. I really like turrets, but sadly this is not an exciting payoff for playing those slow cards.
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
Free 3/3 and 2 extra mana with maximum value. A bit uninspiring, but I guess it's bound to see play, just as Foxy does.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Death Speaker Blackthorn
Cool looking card, could be very strong depending on the Deathrattles. You probably wouldn't want to go lower than (4) cost for this one. Would like this archetype to work.
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
Good weapon, but Self-Sharpening Sword is better. Maybe Rogues can put this in for consistency, but I doubt it. I like the card though.

Edit: According to this: "Players will the receive a new Reward Track when Forged in the Barrens will go live." it will be released on the 30th, not 25th.

Thank you for the tip with Seadevil Stinger. I've tried it with Galakrond for weeks, but it was so exhausting :D

What deck (or decks) are you playing in the final week of the Year of the Phoenix?
Hi guys,
Thought this could be a fun little thread where we all share the deck (or decks) we're playing in the final week of the Year of the Phoenix. Personally, I'm giving my favourite deck over the last two years a farewell tour.

New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
Amazing.
Maybe poison rouge could become a thing if the second legendary helps
New Demon Hunter Minion - Death Speaker Blackthorn
Can't they reveal the deathrattle minions before their support cards.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Vengeful Spirit
DH realy, really needs some good deathrattle commons.
Get That XP! Finish Your Paladin, Priest, and Rogue Darkmoon Faire Achievements With These Decks
Thank you very much!
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
On turn 6: Foxy Fraud, Scabbs Cutterbutter, Oil Rig Ambusher, Potion of Illusion sets up for a lot of damage.
Need to figure out how to use these values as an otk but with a few Shadowsteps it can easily grow lethal in two turns.

New Demon Hunter Minion - Vengeful Spirit
This would be great if DH had any deathrattle cards that were relevant
New Demon Hunter Minion - Death Speaker Blackthorn
Watch Blizzard just not post any cards for this, only the support cards.
New Priest Minion - Xyrella
Desperate prayer into this = 4 mana, deal 10 to all enemy minions, good card, 5/5
