Actually I am afraid to play Yogg in a game... After tens of minutes battle to gain board advantage, at last my Yogg is ready to turn the wheel... The very first try and he rolls 2 Pyroblasts one after other to my face... Losing the game while I was already winning the game... He is actually declaring that : 'You are not my master, I am the boss here!'
I've always recommended waiting 2 weeks before crafting anything to get a better look at the meta. A week can be a decent enough indicator though if days 5-7 don't see much movement in what is being played.
So far, this card has been the worst part of the expansion for me. I've been trying some mega high-value control decks for fun and keep running into this. Even though I've beaten every Warlock in the long game, having 10 cards milled (including 3/4 of the old gods) makes the matches incredibly unfun. Powerful card, but I'm not a fan.
Another 3 days later, currently just landed on track reward level 25 (new warrior portrait + random legendary). Experience still feels like a huge drag, I probably already played more HS in a single month in the last few days. Also finished a 9 wins Duels run which got me quite some XP and currently trying to do some of the stupid Darkmoon Faire specific achievements for some additional XP. Being on level 25, does not mean I am halfway to level 50 coz the XP required rises with each level, but the XP amount we gain remains the same 😤
Btw, the rewards track response by Blizzard is of course a step in the right direction, but also another slap in our faces. It's just another example of how out of touch they are with reality. They simply lied to us, did nothing about the XP gain difficulty and we are still not going to get equal or more gold this expansion cycle so it seems. The even bigger elephant in the room is the introduction of the mini-expansion which means that HS has become even more expensive.
Just a quick thread of community kindness regarding the achievement called 'Forbidden Jutsu', which requires you to summon a 10+ cost minion with Shadow Clone.
While the card itself is only a rare, so most players can in principle finish this achievement, the hard part is that it relies pretty much entirely on what your opponent does because you cannot really force them to a) have a 10+ cost minion, and b) force them to trigger the secret with it. Even with Old Gods around, this one can take forever because you are not really in control...
The helpful solution is to go to Wild, where you can go out of your way to do all of the following relatively easily:
Stall for ages, reducing the cost of Arcane Giant to 0.
Then in a single turn play Vanish to clean up the board,
next play the giant and give it to the opponent with Silas Darkmoon,
You will need some cost reduction too, e.g. with Preparations and/or Emperor Thaurissan, but in 1 turn you can make it so the opponent has nothing but a 10+ cost minion to attack you and nothing else with. Since the worst thing that can happen is that you get an 8/8 with stealth, and you have done nothing threatening all game, they should be willing to do the deed and give you your achievement, even if they have no idea what is going on.
Finally, use the 'Thanks' emote, concede, and cash in your XP.
It's very difficult to look at the timing and feel like Blizzard is actually being honest.
The feedback was brutal when first announced and we were told we'd definitely earn more. The system was introduced just prior to the set release and that, in retrospect, seems like a calculated move to ensure bundles were purchased prior to seeing the full structure. The response to the massive outrage is essentially to say "sorry, we'll add a bit over 1k gold" and "but wait, there's more!" like a shit TV ad.
I won't be purchasing anything unless the system changes in a way that is transparently designed and shows the earnings will be better than they were before.
Y'Shaarj is very good however it only works for corrupt cards and they shouldnt reaper in future expansions. if u are tight on dust and or gold i wouldnt recommend crafting it
I used to regularly open 100 packs every expac from saved up gold = approximate worth 9K+ gold plus some freebie packs.
I can swear to this as "100 pack opening day" is a highlight activity with the daughter.
3600 gold I'm counting now is gold from progressing from level 16 to thru 50. (I was at 15 before the launch).. it's a given that I already used up the gold from level 1 thru 15 to buy the 73 packs this expac but let's just say I didn't play this expac much.. I have not gotten an accurate feel on how much of a grind it will be to reach 50 though..

@KANSAS - what about making the Corrupted version deal Battlecry damage only to your opponent?
How soon is too soon to craft?

On top of my head, at least King Mukla and Curse of Rafaam. And that one Murloc.

Inspired by Banana Vendor, what other cards add cards to your opponent's hand?

We might get it in one to two more weeks given the usual release for them
'Servant of Yogg-Saron' Tryouts
So… we AREN'T getting a Darkmoon Faire recipes Tavern Brawl?
'Servant of Yogg-Saron' Tryouts
he is too dangerous to be left alive!!
'Servant of Yogg-Saron' Tryouts
Yay...
No...
'Servant of Yogg-Saron' Tryouts
This is a serious candidate for being one of the most used brawls in game history I think.
New Neutral Minion - Derailed Coaster
I think this card is designed for a big minion archetype, maybe where the lowest cost minion is it.
I don´t think it will see a lot of play
Who's the dev that thought Tickatus is balanced card ?
I hope so!
And when it`s viable against Reno-Priest I should main "Ticklock", because fu** Priest!

Going Wild at the DarkmoonFaire
Please, no more Token/Aggro druids! I get the chills every time I read that name...
Even Secret/Spell Hunter is fun, Secret/Mill/N'zoth Rogue it's amazing (Or maybe just to me, I love it and play at least 2-3 games with it every day)

What Wild decks are you enjoying experimenting with thus far into the Darkmoon expansion?
So far I've only played:
Deathrattle Hunter
Spell mage
Secret Mage
