I have an enormous mountain of convertible arcane dust lying around which can be used to complete my entire Standard + Wild collections and afterwards I would still have plenty of arcane dust to spare. However, my brain is currently wired to not spend it freely.

I only craft the best missing must have legendaries of the new set after having already opened my average of 300 packs per expansion. As for missing cards from my Wild collection, I might still get them by opening packs from Wild promotion bundles.

Another FOMO thing, because by dusting duplicates which might get nerfed in the future means I would potentially miss out on the maximum dust refund of those nerfed cards. This of course also applies to my golden cards which I only dust for full refunds.

As for keeping a spreadsheet for Hearthstone… it's initial purpose was to keep track of all my class levels and amount of wins because there was no nice in-game accessible report for this in the past. Gradually, I kept track of my dust, how many packs I opened and which quests were offered to me. For instance, I wanted to know how often the challenge a friend quest was offered to me per rotation. More and more stuff got added to this spreadsheet over the past few years. I really enjoy having statistics to look at, so that part should not be very detrimental to my state of mind (I think).

I know exactly what the problem is (me), but I'm not willing to really acknowledge it nor take proper healthy actions. It's crazy and I know (sadly). One of the solutions is to simply stop playing HS which would be a similar measure I have taken in the past for other games. For now, I have trapped myself inside a self-fullfilling prophesized feedback loop. I can only hope that the rotation brings plenty of improvements.

What are you talking about? You can definitely include a regular Doctor Krastinov and a Golden one Kappa

On a serious note, my finger might've clicked twice when building the deck - second Corsair Cache would be a good way to go.

your warrior list here is suggesting i run 2x Doctor Krastinov. that sounds like it would be great! but until i can... haha, "hack the system" to make it happen, what do you think i should replace the 2nd copy of a legendary with?

Quote From NebuchadnezzarHS

Playing Hearthstone almost feels like a chore these days which is not a good feeling at all and I only have myself to blame for it.

I would say that's accurate. Do you keep spreadsheets of all your leisure activities? For someone who can afford to spend cash, the inclination to maximize gold is probably not super-healthy. That aspect of the game is literally designed to feel like a chore. It's much more fun to focus on enjoying the game itself and accept whatever gold you get as a nice bonus, not something you are obligated to earn.

Do you keep all your golden cards? That's another trap they've intentionally set for people like you. I feel like you could easily have full collections if you used the dust from golden cards to fill in the gaps. I know I've completed expansions without buying nearly as many packs as you say you have. If keeping golden cards is important to you, that's fine, but it's definitely a self-inflicted wound.

So typically the best way to get an accurate reading on how well an archetype is performing you need to check out the region stats.

Because if a deck has a 58% winrate but a play rate of 1% that means its essentially being carried by a few top players.

What we actually see when examining shurima as a whole is that it's essentially maintaining a 51% winrate in its best decks as of right now.

I consider that very healthy and I think this expansion has been far less devisive than call of the mountain.

But what do you guys think, are there any lists or decks you consider to be absolute BS right now or are we seeing a healthy mix?

At this point, I'd be happy with confirmation of the release date. I don't need to know all the cards in advance, but I do need to know when it's actually going to drop.

(We all know it's the date mentioned on the store page, but an actual announcement in the name of clear and open communication would be nice.)

I'm sure it doesn't make you feel better, but there's just no way it broke for exactly one person. That's not how computers work. (Also, there's no such thing as luck in a long-term sense or the universe working against you.)

More likely is that you've never gotten anywhere close to the 40 mark before, so your "feeling," based on past experience, is expecting the legendary much sooner than the actual pity timer. The average drop happens around pack 20, so that is probably when your "feeling" starts to kick in.

Kibler had a Quest Warrior list during the Ulduum expansion that was pretty fun!  I played it for a little bit with some success.  But it was something he made late in the expansion cycle, and it didn’t carry over as well into DoD.  A big part of it was getting Sul’thraze online and then next turn dropping a Goon to gain a lot of armor!  It was fun!

Yeah, I was pretty excited when I first saw that. I also thought it was pretty cool when Meryl made it into the game as part of the new rogue book of heroes. He's not a card yet, but at least a small part of his story is in the game now.

I've just checked the Pre-Purchase page again. It's noted as "Pre-Purchase available through March 22, 2021". I guess we should expect it to be released on March 23rd. It's getting weird really, still no reveals.

Well, looks like Aegwynn, the Guardian has become reality ; cool to see her replace Antonidas as the new core Mage legendary.

One of the weakest cards revealed so far. I don't see it being playable unless warlock gets some strong swarm support.

Yeah, Shadowstep for 2 and Leeroy Jenkins for 3... I don't know about the twins though. Edwin VanCleef?

1 - c'mon, how long can this go on? it's nerfed minion that summon a minion

2 - it's close to leeroy, but he's not in charge now

3 - yes, it's a shadowstep

Quote From LordMilan

It's sweet but I'd rather see new cards anyway :D

I'm waiting for the release schedule, too? Supposed the rumors of the release on March, 23rd are right, there are just two weeks left. Are they going to drop all the cards at once?

Wyrm Weaver is Scholomance.

It's more likely that Blizzcon hurt their schedule. Also, 2 weeks without reveals has his precedents. 

Hello there!

I've got another custom battlegrounds tribe today, Ogres! When it comes to these guys, size matters, a lot. The mechanic that the Ogre tribe revolve around is Overkill. This all stemmed from a little joke I made when making an Overkill card for Rastakhan's Rumble that depicted an Ogre "More like Ogre-kill", yes I am aware that's a terrible joke. 

I never particularly felt that the Overkill mechanic fit the Trolls that well, it needed to belong to someone a little bigger and beefier, like these guys. This Ogre set contains three new heroes and 15 new minions. I hope you enjoy my set, provided in the Google Slides presentation below (I dunno why I do it there, I just think it looks good). Any feedback would be really appreciated, be that on balance, flavour or anything else.

Thank you!

hello. hello. hello. hello. heelllooooo. hello. hello. hellooo! hello. *Sir Annoy-o noices Hello.*

Might see play in some control decks. Probably in Mage because Flame Ward is gone, and Mage often ran Doomsayer before.

Probably here for new players.

Probably just an arena card.

Meh, i dont think it will see any play. But it's fitting that it's in core, considering most players still call newly printed 3 mana 3/4 cards "Spider Tank stats".

hmm, not sure if it sees play. Probably here only for new players .

One of the only real ways to silence something, might see play.
