I'm in the same situation on EU and not on mobile, except I can't recall whether I saw it briefly and it was gone by the next login, or just never really there. I know I have it active in two other regions. Another lovely bug that we have to report... 

Quote From Bonemasher

Played a few games with your deck, went 7-1. Posted the link for here on my twitter. Going to feature the deck on my stream.

Thank you man, that deck it's so funny to play and seems that no one expects his highrolls.

Can you share your stream channel? :)

Just completed the second and the 3rd didn’t appear eithe

So I am on EU and still dont have this? Wtf? Is this one fo those will-arrive-later-on-mobile things?

I got the quests yesterday, i completed the first two and today when i wanted to do the last one it didnt appears. Very strange ! It feel like it wasnt wanted to give us the packs

So how many people are, like, not getting this quest? (NA server)

Is this in EU only?
Dont have the start quest on the US server

*confused

Quote From iWatchUSleep

 The Nozdormu portion wasn't aimed at you, hence the multiple line breaks. Calm your pajamas. 

Did you know that he wears pajamas because you watch him sleep? 

Sir, that information is highly confidential and I implore you to not inquire about this subject any further.

LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL - Brian Azzarello & Lee Bermejo

The first in Brian Azzarello's series of stories told from a villain's POV (he followed this up with "Joker," which is just as good). The story is told from Lex Luthor's perspective; he's written as the protagonist of the story, with Superman as some looming presence that threatens the existence of humanity. It's gripping, paranoid, and engrossing, and what's most impressive is it manages to make you sympathize with Luthor. 

Its stretched a bit far honestly. Superman has red glowing eyes all the time in this comic, and that scrap he had with batman made absolutely no sense considering batman is already often portrayed as having a spare kryptonite with him. Even more baffling is how batman (as Bruce Wayne) later shared technology with Luthor despite being Superman's ally. But that said, I do love the story, making Luthor more human than a saturday cartoon deranged psychopath bent on destroying superman at all costs.

I don't mind the red, glowing eyes of Superman in this comic since it's told entirely from Lex Luthor's point of view. It makes sense that we see him as the monster that Luthor sees him as ;)

I'll have to re-read it again, but didn't Bruce Wayne share Luthor's fear that Superman could one day decide to rule over the Earth? Or it could be that Luthor manipulated Bruce into thinking the same way, hence the scrap he had with Superman. And from what I remember, I think Superman sensed that Batman was carrying kryptonite with him that's why he attacked him. They weren't really depicted as "allies" in that story, more like guardians of their own domains that kept a respectful distance from each other.

Batman does share that fear, hence why he often has kryptonite with him at all times, and Superman is aware of this fact, so it made no sense for him to get upset at batman for having it. The story goes that Luthor presented it to him to curry favor with Bruce on some tech sharing deal to build a synthetic superhero. Batman was holding the kryptonite (in a lead case) when Superman 'attacked' him in an alley, and with glowing red eyes, destroyed the kryptonite in front of him.

But superhero comics have never been shy of taking liberties with canon, and it is from Luthor's perspective so obviously Superman must be the villain here. Just a little strange why they decided to insert batman into the story when it only weakens the perspective.

Quote From Echo

I've been playing the deck quite a bit, about 30~ games with it. The deck is probably the biggest high roll deck we've ever seen in the game but besides that it is not incredibly problematic. The power of the deck comes from 2 legendaries, with 2 cards that draw for one of them, which results in games where you steamroll your opponent turn 5 with a '''''ramp''''' deck, but also games where you opening hand has a total mana cost of 30+ and you just die before you ever get the chance of doing anything fun. The overall winrate of the deck is fine.

The high roll potential is the biggest reason why this deck might get something touched on. Being such a polarizing deck leads to a lot of bad play experiences for the opponents, as well as the player, resulting in a similar situation that turtle mage caused last year in Scholomance. Alec Dawson mentioned that he and the team are keeping an eye on the deck to make sure it doesn't evolve into something more problematic, but as of right now it feels more like a flavor-of-the-week deck to them than an actual meta-defining must nerf deck. 

For the time being, if you are facing against them a lot, I'd recommend trying to play a deck thats able to take advantage of Nozdormu as much as possible, since its the easier of the two highroll cards to draw/play and has an easy counterplay. I've had a very solid winrate with a quest Envoy Rustwix warlock deck running two Twisting Nethers, two Hysteria, and two Dark Skies, so if your in a pocket meta where everybody and their mother is playing the deck, I'd recommend trying it out.

Thanks for the insight! I agree that the big package, while fun, probably lowers the winrate of the deck a bit by making you brick a lot more than it should. 

Played a bit of ranked today and fought this deck quite a few times. They either play the combo on turn 5 or lose most of the time, but overall it wasn’t too bad. But some of them were running the Paladin quest to ensure they have a spell in hand, and I am curious if that could be explored any further

My mentality is just: “Why would I be intimidated? I’m better than them.

I don't get one , should I do something to get the quest , I play on NA and last check is now , no quest yet .

Oooh, I love this thread. I used to read comics a lot until that hobby became too expensive. Here are some of my recommendations, meaning they're the absolute best stories I've read in graphic novel form. Most of these are Marvel and DC titles, as I was a bit of a superhero geek back then. 

AVENGERS & NEW AVENGERS - Jonathan Hickman
Probably my favorite run from any comic book writer ever. The gist of the story involves the Avengers' and Illuminati's attempts to prevent the multiverse's collapse that would bring about the end of everything, caused by a mysterious entity called Rabum Alal. It's a story that spans multiple titles (there's the Avengers and New Avengers titles, Infinity, and concludes with Secret Wars), and trust me when I say it's the most epic thing you'll ever read. Just get the correct reading order online to get the full experience. 

OLD MAN LOGAN - Mark Millar & Steve McNiven
It's your typical Mark Millar shock value fest, but I just love the apocalyptic setting this story is set in. In this universe, the villains won and have divided up the US among themselves, with Red Skull, Magneto, Dr. Doom, Hulk, and other villains lording over their own regions. One of Mark Millar's best work. 

HAWKEYE - Matt Fraction & David Aja
Someone already recommended this, but I can't stress enough how good this run is. It's got a unique voice, the art is great, and the story feels bigger than the small-scale hijinks of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop. It's something I re-read every now and then. 

THE VISION - Tom King & Gabriel Walta
I can't recommend this enough. The "WandaVision" series borrows heavily from this story by Tom King, which sees the Vision creating his own family and trying to live in the suburbs. It's creepy, unsettling, and a damn good read. 

LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL - Brian Azzarello & Lee Bermejo
The first in Brian Azzarello's series of stories told from a villain's POV (he followed this up with "Joker," which is just as good). The story is told from Lex Luthor's perspective; he's written as the protagonist of the story, with Superman as some looming presence that threatens the existence of humanity. It's gripping, paranoid, and engrossing, and what's most impressive is it manages to make you sympathize with Luthor. 

ASTONISHING X-MEN - Joss Whedon & John Cassaday
X-Men characters well. He "gets" Cyclops, Wolverine, Emma Frost, and especially Kitty Pryde, who is the real MVP of this run. If you're looking for some great X-Men stories that aren't too reliant on the bloated history of the X-Men, this run is for you. 

PREACHER - Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon 
A tough Texan, Jesse Custer, obtains the power of the Word of God--he can make anyone do his will just by commanding them with his words. It's a great premise, and it's propped up by a memorable cast of characters like Cassidy, Herr Starr, The Saint of Killers, Arseface, and God. The TV series didn't do the comic justice IMO; read the comic if you really want the unfiltered depravity and violence of Garth Ennis's story. Oh, and Preacher has some of the best cover art in the history of comics.

TOKYO GHOST - Rick Remender & Sean Murphy
Follows the adventures of Debbie Decay and Led Dent, two "peacekeepers" in the technological dystopia of LA. The story's pretty good, a little cliche, but the art is what does it for me. The grimy cyberpunk aesthetic perfectly captured the story's essence.

(...) AFK for a few minutes, and ended up getting the packs and a Windlord achievement. \o/

Sounds easy enough!

Quote From Erodos

However, I think it's a missed chance to not take community submitted decks from right here on OutOfCards.

 

Are you meaning something like this article right here, from 5 days ago? 

Quote From Stonehelm

Rough set of quests for anyone who does not enjoy the variety of modes offered for Hearthstone play! Speaking for myself, I would be happy to never "have" to play another battleground or duel ever again. And if wild or casual is your bag you're left entirely in the cold.

It's reasonable that they want to direct players into each mode with quests. I like a bit of variety, personally. I Don't like BG but I queued into that, went AFK for a few minutes, and ended up getting the packs and a Windlord achievement. \o/

Quote From davidwizard

Dawg: just save your deck-share code in any text editor, and then copy it back in to reconstruct your deck

Or if you use any deck tracker it’ll probably be saved there already.

Wow, congrats. You've got a bigger stockpile of Wildcards than I do...but I've got literally every card. When this last expansion hit, I decided to damn the torpedoes and craft every card on day one. I don't regret it at all, because my resources have come back to me.

I compare this to pay-to-win Hearthstone and just shake my head. Can't believe that game held me hostage for so long. And I've already given Riot more money than I ever gave Blizzard.

Care for a hint?

This riddle has a bit of nostalgia involved in it. The Moustached guys are not any form of Mr. Jackson (I'm sorry Reno, I didn't mean to make your daughter cry, I apologize a thousand times)

I've been playing concernedmom's deck since this article brought it to my attention and it's now at the top of my list of favorite decks ever. RNGesus loves to punish me by making me draw Rags on turn 4/5 just as I'm ready to play Shadow Essence, but it's well worth it.

I opened the 2/35 bundle and it gave me Rinling's Rifle and Deck of Lunacy feelsbadman.
