I reached Legend once. First I tried to stick to a deck that I liked and played a lot, but you have to keep an eye on the meta. I ended up playing one of the strongest in the meta, but with something unique in it so I had an element of surprise. that worked well, but it took me ages, I played hours a day to reach it.
Recently i got one win of Legend, 3 times in a row, with a face hunter. It seemed a bit luck based, I skyrocketed up with an 80% win rate, failed to reach legend and dropped right back to rank 3 after it. the prob with the deck was that it relied on the opponent, some were free wins, others were impossible. So i'd stick with the above plan.
Now I'm curious if you'll do it again. For me, it was a one time thing I did with Bomb Hunter in 2019 in Standard and with Darkest Hour Warlock in Wild just two days before the deck got nerfed. I've come close again in Wild several times, but never reached legend again. I just don't like the grind and having to play completely optimized Tier 1 decks. But I still remember that awesome feeling of doing it for the first time :-)
Probably just a one time thing for me. I only seriously pushed for legend once before (don't remember when exactly, probably around 2 or 3 years ago), and I got so stressed during each match it became less fun and I quit. This month it was consistently fun and challenging without being too stressful. I won't try it again unless I feel similarly favorable circumstances. It's a great achievement that I can claim now, so I don't feel much need to push again.
Hm. The combination of a turret and a safe in a more literal way would be a tank. Darkmoon Tonk also hits random enemies for 2, like Cleave. Dealing 4 times 2 damage is a nice way to counter treants, so this might explain the timber part.
I'll take the liberty and make a second guess: is it Darkmoon Tonk?
The second line might be an obvious hint at Cleave, but timber is a bit harder. There's Timber Wolf, but that's quite a stretch from the meaning of the word.
So... if I combine Blackhowl Gunspire with Safeguard, I'm looking for 1) a minion that 2) does damage to random (?) enemies (which also fits Cleave) or has an effect that triggers when it gets damaged and 3) has Taunt since that's the Safeguard's most prominent feature.
As it seems that I most of the cards, I want to try this deck out (mostly for the Shek'zara achievement). I would just need a replacement for Sphere of Sapience. I guess any card draw would be fine?
My understanding is that you will have non-golden versions of all Core set cards as long as all your classes are level 10 or higher. The neutrals only need a combined level of 60, which only needs 6 classes at 10.
As for golden versions, I think they said they'll be given out through achievements (probably something simple like playing/winning X games with class Y, but they may be card specific).
I think they said you'll get all the core cards by merely getting each class to level 10. So you'll get all the DH cards for free when the core set comes out. It's the golden versions of those cards that you'd be missing. I'm kind of curious about how many levels you'll have to reach to get those, but they haven't announced anything yet.
Do we know if the lvl 50 free hero portraits will be the same for the next pass or are these a one time thing?
We haven't been told anything about this, but the expectation is that the lvl 50 portraits will stick around for a while, with the most logical guess being for 10 expansions so that a single player could obtain all of them if they were around the whole time. It's all speculation though.
Now I'm curious if you'll do it again. For me, it was a one time thing I did with Bomb Hunter in 2019 in Standard and with Darkest Hour Warlock in Wild just two days before the deck got nerfed.

Sure but what you're saying is very different than most card games. Like mtg a "meta" deck is objectively the strongest and the highest played by an overwhelming majority.
I also doubt that high level play is much different in terms of play rates.
Recently Mogwai was remarking on how everyone is playing Temo Ezreal, the meme deck that shows up as number 10 on my list.
Now maybe piloted by the best players it gets better results and is secretly amazing, but nobody actually thinks that.
The truth is this community is just really open to playing what they want and frankly I won't play a single meta list without heavily modifying it myself because I know these list are not set in stone and aren't "spectacular" outside of the very specific context in which they are played.
Yeah so a lot of that stuff is under 5 percent and that's kind of what I was talking about.
With the top winrate lists not being as over represented as people are saying
You do have to keep in mind that some decks are hard to play optimally, so their winrate is artificially deflated. Zoe/Lee is one example. TF/Aphelios is probably another. TF/Fizz probably also in that camp as well. Those decks have a lot of moving parts, and it's easy to misplay. In the hands of experienced players, those decks are absolute powerhouses, but in the hands of less-skilled players (or players new to the deck), they are much worse.
So, you can't really go by raw winrate. The top player on SEA has like 1800 LP and specializes in Zoe/Lee - just destroys everyone with it. But your average player could never do that.

Congrats, Pezman!
GL to those still pushing.

Diamond 8 still, yesterday I went 3-3, so I didn't win a single star :/

I'm associating a turret with Blackhowl Gunspire and a safe with Safeguard.
The second line might be an obvious hint at Cleave, but timber is a bit harder. There's Timber Wolf, but that's quite a stretch from the meaning of the word.
So... if I combine Blackhowl Gunspire with Safeguard, I'm looking for
1) a minion that
2) does damage to random (?) enemies (which also fits Cleave) or has an effect that triggers when it gets damaged and
3) has Taunt since that's the Safeguard's most prominent feature.
I'll neglect Tribe and Rarity for now.
The timber part still eludes me, but my first guess is Hogger, Doom of Elwynn.

I am just level 46 as DH; what do you think? Do I risk to miss some important cards ? Tks

I had that in mind already, but none of the words here have an antonym... how else would reverse come into play here?
Is the Tavern Pass fixed now?
