13th December update: Kremepuff's Jade Druid comparison: Hope's End, Master of Fate & Ysera Unleashed!
Thanks to KremePuff (https://twitter.com/KremePuffHS) for providing two awesome Jade Druid decks. In this video, we compare both decks. Three of my favourite cards get to shine - Yogg-Saron Hope's End, Yogg-Saron Master of Fate and Ysera, Unleashed.
With the reforge mechanic they clearly wanted to create a semi random mechanic which I am not sure what to think about.
It is the middleground between the interests of competetive oriented players and casuals but it doesn't really appeal to both of them.
I guess riot knows that the better player wins (way more often) character of Runeterra is scaring new players off but they don't want to be hearthstone eighter with it's very random nature and in their place I proably would seperate random-fun cards from actually viable non-random cards who are more meant for friendly matches instead of ladder.
Now back to the original topic:
The reforge mechanic is in general quite consistant and opens many doors for noxus to play with new regions (nr 1 is targon with taric nr 2 is p&z with augments) in a more midrange style.
Yet i'm not at all sold on any card from these other than Runeweaver, Weapon Hilt and maybe Blade Squire who are decent earlygame options.
And to those who think Zoe will be a thing: you have to be completely insane if you think Zoe will ever win a game outside of Freljord decks creating her with the The Howling Abyss because her lvlup condition wont ever happen unless your opponent runs 0 interaction (what competetive decks are usually packed with)
My name is Rog and I'm a content creator currently playing a lot of Hearthstone! I'm currently enjoying Standard ranked but also love the new duels mode.
I try to stream every night from 8pm GMT (I'm based in Dublin, Ireland) on Twitch. I'm also currently trying to produce 2 edited deck highlight vids a week on Youtube (live at 6pm GMT)
I want to know what the deal is with Infinite Arcane. It doesn't say where the cards it offers you come from, but I faced an opponent playing C'Thun, the Shattered who cast this (before casting all 4 of C'Thun's spells), then discovered a playable C'Thun, the Shattered 2 turns in a row! That card was NOT in his deck! But if it offers you random cards out of the entire pool of thousands (as its text implies), how could he get C'Thun 2 out of 2 times? I lost obviously, which was pretty frustrating. But I am also frustrated because this card does not clearly state what it does. My best guess is that it offers you cards that STARTED in your deck, which would include C'Thun, in my example. But it doesn't say that!
Dont know the answer to your question, sorry, but i have another one: how does the discover work? I mean, if you play the spell, do you get to discover a card on the turn you played it? And if not, do you just lose your next draw, because your deck is empty and you discover a card to put on top? Do you take fatigue damage? Or do you discover a card before the turn starts, before you draw, so you discover and then draw the discovered card?:o
Infinite Arcanum discovers a card from your deck, not a random one. It wouldn’t be a treasure otherwise. Also, that C’thun interactions seems pretty busted lol
That's pretty f-ed. I mean, it doesn't even remotely say that in its text. Plus, cards that STARTED in your deck? I guess my opponent just got super lucky being offered C'Thun twice out of however many cards were in his deck at the start of the match
I assume the two down-votes you have at the time I'm writing this come from people who don't know why you have made a thread about a deck everyone already knows is super strong. Rather than join their silent protest, I'll use a quote from the Warlords of Draenor cinematic to show my feelings about the deck.
Thanks, good to know. Didn't think to check the border. Damn, that is annoying, though. Cost me the game (well, cost me a really good chance at saving the game, I should say).
I know I'm late to the discussion but here's my take based on my experience with MMR in other games where it's a bit more transparent and my Hearthstone play experience.
I'm fairly certain that MMR is calculated using your WR vs the WR of you opponents over a number of games with a modifier for your ranking (both highest in previous season and current). I don't think it takes into account the type of deck you are playing at all.
This method of calculating MMR (WR vs opponents WR modified by ranking) ensures your MMR has a floor cap (because of the ranking modifier) and fairly accurately pits you against players of similar skill levels. However I generally find that in the lower rankings I am playing less skilled players which only propels me into the higher ranking with higher skilled opponents faster. All things considered I think its about as fair as a system can be in this type of game.
Wow, just wow. This deck is unbelievably good. It has it all, silences, board clears, burst damage, targeted removal, healing. I actually did a 30 damage OTK w/Il'gynoth. Most difficult match ups were Libram Paladin and Control Warrior everything else seemed easy.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I played this deck from Diamond 10 (no stars) to legend.

They really need to keyword the "burst spell that can't be cast in respounce or in combat" it's obvious at this point.. The keyworded lesser mechanics, why not this one?
The fact you can give overwhelm with this mechanic it's huge, it means Viktor can go with noxus as you don't need a card like Zenith Blade anymore, so it's possible to chose as second champion Draven, Vi it's still a viable choice and we have to wait for the new nox champ which probably will work with him.
I'd say Viktor got some variations in deck building, which it seems was a common worry
More sad for the hopes of another female world champion than the fact Luna only got me 1 pack, really sad every time you see one of the nest players in the world lose because its a card game after all and it happens.
At least Jarla got through, so while I will not get packs from him, has been cheering him all through GM and would really love to see him win.

So maybe Riven lvl up will be sth like "Cast blade of the exile to me" right? And her summon effect will be "Reforge".

81% WR to Legend
My last 5 opponents all seem to agree that this deck is very strong as they... and the rest of the ladder are using it right now.
