169 with no pass purchased. I have one daily and one weekly still so it'll be 171 once I finish those. I've been holding steady at 3500 gold or more despite my many Heroic Duels entries so it feels like more than the normal gold saved from one expac to the next, especially since my average there is under 5 (vs 5.5-6 in Arena during past expacs).
Let me just say that I hate, hate, hate the Not So Lonely achievement (end your turn with a Redeemed Pariah with 10 attack or higher in play). 8/10 on that one and it's brutally stupid. They don't last until the next turn so you literally have to play the pariah plus 8 outcast cards on the same turn. Not well designed, especially since you must run all the small cost outcast cards and then proceed to sit on them turn after turn to build your hand big enough.
Earth Elemental losing its tribe tag is for the Classic format, not the Core set. It wasn't an Elemental back then, so it makes sense. The Core set is an entirely different thing, though, so you don't have to worry :)
It depends on your draw, last game I played with this yesterday both schemes were the bottom 2 cards in the deck but I still won by drawing quickly and the opponent was a slow ress priest deck so I didn’t face too much pressure and stalled the game with Saps, Doomsayers, and Vanishes.
A video would look really cool, I personally don’t want to upload Hearthstone videos on my youtube account so I don’t make them but if anyone wants to make a video maybe they could comment it.
I just gotta say i love your videos and otk decks, amazing work and prolific as always.
seems you struggle with staying at silver 10 on ladder? some of the more recent decks of yours are seriously good, like the otk tempo galakrond korkrond elite/ nitroboost warrior....
i saw your vid for this deck with the tickatus overload... that is one amazing bm of a deck.
i run a version with carousel gryphon (mech) and libram of wisdom, to enable 2 more cards for y'shaarj as they both corrupt, so the late game consists of the most disgusting value available.
the gryphon is good for the mech slot in the n'zoth board. and the hitty book gives life back where other lists have no heal... in case you are up against some seriously teched out opponants.
i decided to throw a single circus amalgam back in to provide a bit of cover with tip the scales, and to double as an extra in the n'zoth board too..... but there we go, greedy as always. it is sometimes the better play to have a 4 mana taunt instead of the early ramp, depending on how you mulligan and your draw luck. once i pulled two redscale dragontamers and noz at the mulligan.... kinda feelsbadman when that happens.
The new system feels great to me AFTER they made their tweaks.
I bought the Tavern Pass on Day 1 of the new system, so I've always had that boost, and I play a lot - but I am at 14,600 gold saved so far in this expansion which is by far a new record for me (even when you factor in the XP boost from the paid pass). Given that the next expansion won't hit for another month, possibly more (Iksar wasn't sure on the timing given the challenges of continued WFH during one of his Twitter AMAs), I will have a good deal more gold.
With the daily quests, I am leveling 1.5-2 levels a day (probably averaging 75 gold a day), sometimes more if I get in a groove and play a bunch in the evening. The weekly quests with the 20% XP boost helped me charge through 6 or 7 levels yesterday.
I just entered level 217 last night after finishing my last weekly quest. I have almost 14,600 gold saved, which is definitely a new record for me for a single expansion. That includes the gift of 500 gold from Blizzard that we got after their revision to the rewards track.
Given that the next expansion won't be here until mid-late March or even April, I know I will have a lot more gold saved by that point. Even when you factor in the 20% XP boost I have enjoyed with the Tavern Pass, I am still exceeding my previous expansion hauls - so it has been "worth it" from that perspective (and will continue to be so for me).
I have spent large portions of the expansion achievement hunting - a week or two ago I finished the Darkmoon Races ones (which were mercifully easy) and I finally got the C'thun "kill your opponent from full health" one around the same time. The only XP granting achievement that I don't have from DMF is the Oh My Yogg! one, and I am not going to bother with that!
Definitely a craft if you play wild... Has given me more games even than Leeroy. Denying an AOE, a resurrection a spell burst all while having solid stats. Just think of him as a 2 turn lethal. (Against secret mage there is a catch as the set a trap cost to 0 minions bypass him)
I'm at level 88 now, with two weeklies still unfinished. I have also recently switched focus to achievements and try to squeeze in the relevant cards in my good decks, as well as making "achievement only" decks.
A card I underestimated on a broad scale (because I play decks with a lot of ping effects) is Zoe. I think Zoe lives from the exeptional ability of targon to protect units, a level of protection that would make even Teemo viable ...
Also I thought Riven and Viktor were good but... what buff card would ever be good in a silence meta?
Btw I really would want to know from you if think that silence made the game better or worse?
Definitely worse for me, silence counter anything that isn't spell shield and only one region has reliable access to that. I see lots of well deserved complain about Hush but I find Equinox to be just as obnoxious.

Hakkar Reno Hunter
He also combos with Deathstalker Rexxar for a greater clear and with Seeping Oozeling to shuffle in 2 Corrupted Bloods at once. So he is definitely useful but the deck idea will work without him. I would put in either Wandering Monster or Unleash the Hounds for him as another defensive spell.

I cannot see them putting Kalimos, Primal Lord in as they announced things like Earth Elemental losing it's status as an elemental... which sucks.

Cenarius? Two treants with taunt is a turret of stats and pretty safe for the taunt part. "Cleaved" can also be for the choose one part.
