I've played the last list quite a bit, substituting in Conjure Mana Biscuits for the achievement, and I have to say I've had a ton of fun with the deck. Recommending to try it out if your collection allows it.
I just finished the Sylvanas fight (final boss in Anduin's chapter in the Book of Heroes) and I was absolutely blown away by it. It felt like I was raiding in WoW again, progressing to various stages of the fight with each requiring different strategies. And because of the 1 mana draw 2, you actually seem to get the resources that you need to do that pretty reliably. Very good design. Lore-wise it felt very accurate too and the whole experience of your growing army of legendaries made it just feel like an epic fight.
What probably helped too was that I killed her with no card left in my deck and when her HP started to feel overwhelming - a bit similar to downing a WoW raid boss with everyone running out-of-mana and half the raid dead when you land this final hit.
So for me, yes, it was the best PvE content that I have played in HS. What are your experiences?
Fittign Lore it did it realy well.
being a good/fun boss fight with anduins horrible deck? Yeah not at all.
I'm inclined to agree, honestly. I can see that he's very strong and good with weapons, but that's about it. How ironic that the hero power is equipping armor, yet he openly bares his chest. Unnerfed Jaina has more body protection that this guy, lol.
Well Dont need armor if you kill your enemy before they can hit you :)
I don't know why they made it like that. To me, achievements in general shouldn't be limited to some cards.
I can see both sides of this... Money and Time playing this and only this game. The other side of the coin, meh I don't want to do that because it takes money and tim
What I didn´t really understand why the deck contained Mass Resurrection. All it resurrected was a bunch of 2/2s and that even without taunts.. Did I miss something?
Watch this, and you'll know why Mass Res is in there: BfA cinematic. The Sylvanas fight is the HS version of the battle that the cinematic shows the start of.
Ooooh, now it makes more sense. Cool trailer, it was a blast to watch, thank you :)
Contrarily, the "spend health to play cards" for Priest specifies that you have to be playing Priest, which is a bummer cause Warlocks could knock that out in wild pretty quick otherwise.
Well on this one, you can indeed complete it with Warlock. All you need is to play Seadevil Stinger and you´re good to go. It´s surelly a bug and maybe it was fixed by now, but still worked for me a while ago.
It's worth noting that for most of these, you don't actually need to be playing the class they're under. I completed the Warrior "attack while you have armor" by accident because I've been playing ramp paladin with Armor Vendor. I imagine Druid could do it even more easily.

I found Sylvanas encounter really fun and interesting. On the first try got her down to 38 health, on the second killed her on her second turn.

On the other hand, I´ve one shotted all the other Heroes, except the Velen. For me that fight was the most annoying, had to try it many times before I finally succeded and never want to play it ever again.
The hardest achievement will always be Paladin's Oh My Yogg, the rest is impossible because I don't have the card for it. Like Priest's Steal Enchanment with The Nameless One, Rogue's Drawing 5 card with Shekzara, Druid's Greybough, and Warrior's ETC.
I don't know why they made it like that. To me, achievements in general shouldn't be limited to some cards.
Well you can still try to complete some of them in Duels, if you like the mode, that´s how I´ve completed most of the achievements where I didn´t own a card, such as ETC, Shekzara or Greybough. I´ve made a little guide about it (in spoiler) if you´re interested :)
Show Spoiler
There´s something I´ve learned by playing Casual Duels that might be helpful to those of us missing quite a bunch of new legendaries/epics required for the achievement completion. You can force out some of the required cards in buckets by building a specific deck. For example:
Warrior: make a deck with all the rush minions and you weill get E.T.C., God of Metal along with Tent Trasher, and when you´re lucky, you can even get N'Zoth, God of the Deep through the menagerie bucket and complete It´s N´Zothing, Really achievement at once.
*Druid: there were suggestions to make a taunt heavy deck to get Greybough with your loot, but I´ve managed to get him only once, so I can´t really confirm this (still trying to test this). But when you make spell heavy deck with Eclipses, you can get a loot bucket with Kiri, Chosen of Elune along with two other Eclipses, so you can do the Sun and Moon to Me achievement quite easily, plus often you´ll get Guess the Weight as an option too.
Other good call is to choose Priests second treasure, where you can discover two corrupt cards and corrupt them. This way I was able to get Carnival Clown and make the Coulrophobia achievement without owning the card.
Still trying to find a way to force Il'gynoth (lifesteal heavy deck?), G'huun the Blood God (some heavy spell/healing deck?) and High Exarch Yrel (force some pure version of paladin?).
Hopefully this helps someone :) Happy achievement hunt all and good luck!
*EDIT: I can confirm that you can get Greybough through your loot by running all possible Taunts with deathrattle in your starting deck and/or choosing Natural Defense buckets (worked for me 7/10 times).
Also, you will get Lothraxion the Redeemed if you build you Paladin deck around Silver Hand recruits with starting Hero power and matching Treasure.
For the new ones, so far I´ve completed the Warrior and Paladin one as they are the easiest to complete with more than one class, and the Moonfang and Runaway Blackwing ones. The others sound more of a grind, namely the Druid one, as much as I hated the Greybough achievement, this one looks similar, luckily I have the card needed this time.
He's not the best choice when considering the whole of Warcraft lore, but he was the most prominent at the time HS was being developed and released (Mists of Pandaria). So he was good at helping grab the attention of WoW players, and thus start the game off with a big following.
I am also with you regarding how his character affected my opinion of the class as a whole, although I appreciate they wanted a mix of personalities so a couple of classes were always going to have that problem.
Since about two days ago I've been having an issue on PC which prevents the game from getting past the startup screen where it says "logging in" in the bottom left. For some reason I don't have this issue on mobile. I already tried reinstalling the game and while it seemed to work at first I already experienced the same issue the second time I I tried to start the game.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Edit: I tried restarting the game half an hour later and now it started without any issues, I guess it may be an occasional thing?
I’ve avoided buying any BoH bundles, but this SI7 Anduin skin is calling me...
I was wondering, if I buy the bundle and wait until the new year to open would they give me cards from 2021 exp 1? Or do you think they will only give from Year of the Dragon/Phoenix cards since that’s the standard year right now
As said above, I keep the bundle class pack unopened, as I have standard cards and will open them in 2 months to get cards from newer expansion (I will most likely get only one prerelase bundle not both as in previous expansions, because the excess gold from reward track will make up the difference)
As already answered above, the bundle went on sale yesterday and will stay the shop through February 8th.
As an absolutely shameless plug, I've been trying to keep our alternate hero skin guides updated whenever new ones pop up, so one should be able to refer to those for the info. If I've been competent enough, you can also find a link to those guides on the card page of each hero skin.
