What everyone is failing to see is that under the old system one could get 7,500 to 10,000 gold to buy 75-100 packs for the next expansion by merely completing quests and occasional wins.
Now, one will get only 5,350 gold to buy 53 packs in the next expansion.
That means that at some point you won't have a very good set of cards in the upcoming expansions and one will be required to spend money on packs or be unable to make the best decks with all characters.
Yes, you do get other goodies like current or older packs of cards, legendarys, epics, etc., but none of that will help one get the new upcoming expansion packs with each new expansion.
This is the beginning of a downward spiral to a worse and worse collection until one reaches the point that you'll be forced to spend money or leave HS.
I predict a shrinking base of FTP gamers.
In addition...one can only achieve some of the experience by owning the correct cards...for example you can't complete "Yogg Take The Wheel" if you don't own Yogg...unless you're lucky enough to get one from a Duel or Arena. So that's a lot of unmet achievements unless you own the right cards.
So after Blizzard adjusted the reward track I am now at level 42 with 2950 in gold and 2100 in gold left to earn if I hit level 49. That adds up to 50 packs next expansion. For an FTP player...that won't be enough opened packs to be getting enough cards to build a decent deck to climb the ladder with. I still contend that FTP is going to shrink unless one is content with playing battlegrounds alone.
I actually got it by building a deck with as many outcast cards I as I could put in. The deck was crap for winning, but I just wanted the achievement. The hardest part was waiting for the correct card draw to come up. I was astonished to find that I had actually got a few wins even though all I was trying to do was stack outcast cards in my hand long enough into the game to unleash as many upgrades as possible in one turn and hope I could push for the 10-attack on the following turn. It took about 20 games, but I did it. Some peeps even quit before I could push above 10-attack which was really frustrating.
19th December update: Burlytone's WILD C'Thun, the Ornithologist Priest: Shuffling birds / 1000 wins!
Turns out I misspelt and mispronounced "Ornithologist" in the video. I said "Orthinologist" - woops! Apologies if anyone who studies birds feels insulted by my mistake :-) The deck goes something like this: Play Birds - Shuffle Birds into opponent's deck - Resurrect birds - Annoy your Opponent - Win.
Really pleased with getting 1000 wins on Priest with this deck!
I mean, technically there was no state in rules, nor it was confirmed by mods, that you cannot use characters which have a new version in standard already. However, there is a small note at the bottom of competition main page, which goes like this: "While they do have cards that are Wild exclusive, characters like Reno and the rest of the Explorers have had their moment in the sun recently - give some love to those not in Standard at all!", but I would argue that an extra note should be considered a rule if it's not even added to the disscusion thread anywhere. However, for my own safety I decided not to submit my new version of Finley, which would be a perfect card for this competition. I guess I'll have to save it for later.
Got to 47 earlier, and am aiming to reach 50 just before Christmas (the daily and weekly quests would leave me about half way through 49 on Christmas Eve, which I know will bug me on Christmas if I don't grind up the difference beforehand).
There are already suggestions like making it not trigger if the spell doesnt land, more go hards for PYB, higher mana cost and so on...
You dont even have to make deck around it, just put it in for another win condition that isnt even hard to pull off. 1 mana win the game if its few rounds long.
a sandwich to stay healthy, "sandwich" because it is played between two minions, and it gains their health.
ice cream’s cheap so it’s there” It is 3 mana, so it's pretty cheap.
Void Terror also eats minions, so it explains why you are talking about food.
You got the idea of the first three lines and more or less about the fourth (it has to do with the card’s cost, not necessarily cheap). Major hint: each one of the breakfast components hints at another card. The answer does not have anything to do with food
Remove or hard nerf Go Hard
It's not HS there will probably be changes to the card next patch.
Also not all midrange decks lose to it,there are some that are good against it.

No. Again, the packing a breakfast theme doesn’t give any hints about the card itself

So...what are the snowflakes for? Is there an announcement coming soon? :D
