However, with the new patch the best new starting treasures are locked unless you have all of the Darkmoon cards!
I typically buy the expansion set on each release, so am currently supporting the game like many others, and am able to get the legendaries that I want the most for constructed play and duels decks. However, I don't want to spend extra money to buy all the cards that I will never use just to unlock treasures in duels! The old unlocks had a low bar so weren't a big deal for me.
Besides being disappointed at not getting the treasures that were announced, the bigger problem is it makes it harder to play duels competitively, as I would have to compete against players who have those.
Anyone share my concern? Maybe we can together convince HS team to lower the bar for unlocking the treasures, or remove it. Or make it based on some other metric.
they wouldnt touch Hysteria cause its a standard card. wild is the issue here. and btw warlock pulls this combo off way more easily and consistent. 2 deathspearkers and the tiller is enough. 60 dmg. if u face some high armour deck just play both tillers speakers and hysteria for 120 dmg. emperor reduces the cost and the way warlock draws is fast enough i was able to defeat a 80 armour druid by turn 10. I had only 3 cards in the deck so u can see how fast the deck can draw and consistently pull the combo.
plus the issue with ice block, it procs the secret and the animation take so long that it skips their turn and u just win by going face next turn with tiller since he doesnt even need to connect face any other disruptive secret like vaporize or flame ward isnt enough. they can be at 2 health and thats enough.
at least fix the animation so the deck can actually lose to ice block
Hi all. I noticed a strange thing in Duels yesterday. Playing Demon Hunter, I played Second Slice + Soulshard Lapidary, my hero's attack went to 7. Then, I planned to attack first to check Hunter secret, and summon Bladed Lady for 1 mana after. However, my attack dropped to 5 after attacking, and I couldn't summon her. Why did Slice's attack vanish, bug? Both cards have the same 'gain attack this turn' text.
Just change Hysteria that it only can be cast on enemy minions.
No. The combo (in wild) also includes Shrinkmeister to change the tiller's attack to 0 so it attacks infinitely without killing anything. The problem here is clearly the immunity mechanic!
But then the combo needs one piece and 2 mana more. Maybe this is enough so the deck is not viable enough anymore but still "playable". And nice side effect: Another op control spell got a bit nerfed.
It's clearly an exploit. An oversight by the developers led to an opening in how the game operates certain things which can then be abused for an unfair advantage. It's something that tends to be fixed even in single player games because it leads to the game being played in a totally unintended way. It's cheating in a competitive game like this. It doesn't matter if it's something big streamers or regular players do commonly. It's still a way to get an unfair advantage over the players that don't do that kinda thing. This is not how the game is supposed to be played and it's not allowed in an actual official competition.
I think that is an unfair advantage. Not sure if i would call it cheating but it certainly is close to it. Blizzard should crack down on this. But hey that is just my opinion.

That's only the most effective version. Regis has a Warlock version that's doing pretty well, so long as there's 11 health on board for the combo (the remaining 4 comes from the speaker, for a total of 30 damage). That version can also go the combo at 10 mana, giving Immune to the Tiller and one Deathspeaker.
Alright, a simple one. You're only looking for one card this time:
To live, or not to live, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in locked war to suffer The pings and damage of outrageous power, Or to take Fury against a Field of trifles, And by inferno end them...
That deck seems to be everywhere on ladder in wild right now. It’ll pass, and if it doesn’t, they’ll probably nerf something.
For my part, having a freezing trap down as hunter seemed to be very effective. When that sends the tiller back to hand there were a lot of concedes across from me yesterday.
Funny outcome, but honestly the problem isn't wretched tiller OR hysteria. It's that damn 2/4 that grants immune. Most degenerate decks I can recall (defile+immune combo) in wild were a result of that card that grants a minion immune.
Well, if you've got the bundle then why not try Envoy Rustwix in place of tickatus. The only reason why you'd run Tickatus is to win the long game, and since rustwix gives tons of value it might be a decent replacement.
Unfortunately that would also mean you're essentially playing at a disadvantage in the mirror match.
Duels ruined? Bar too high for new treasures.
Duels has been my favorite new HS feature.

Lord Barov?
Second Slice bug?
AFAIK, temporary attack goes away after you attack, so really you should've gone to 0.

Wild is great. Or was until yesterday then this tiller nonsense made it near unplayable.
Second Slice bug?

Thanks Avalon and Team for compiling these lists! As a non-creative player, I always appreciate seeing the latest, even if they're not the greatest.

yes, moreover, in one case if I have a board, to activate Tickatus I have to destroy my minions, in the other situation I add a minion.
isn't it cheating, when big streamers always disconnect on purpose in bgs?

Deathspeaker + Tiller + Hysteria Combo...
I was not aware of this combo. Seems pretty ridiculous to me

I think you mean Siamat gives you a pro-active play versus Nether. That's the only difference.
