I saw a post somewhere that you can already finish some of the achievements for Darkmoon Faire, even it´s not launched yet and you don´t have specific Legendaries or cards. I can confirm you can manage to complete some of them, if you meet the requirements, but I believe you can only complete them in Ranked mode.
For example, I´ve "accidentally" completed Paladin´s "Lothraxion´s Ballon Shop" just by playing Steward of Darkshire and summoning some dudes with HP or Muster for Battle, Lost in the Jungle... you get the idea. Or you can try it reversed, summon Dudes and use Coghammer or Purifier's Maul on them, I think it should work either way.
Others mention easy completion of Hunter´s "Ride together, Die together" by simply triggering Toxic Reinforcements, or copying the second deathrattle minion on board.
I´m sure there are more, I didn´t have much time to check them out, but if you found out some others, that can be completed now, please share them, so we can gain some sweet XP :)
EDIT: We´ve found another one: Shaman´s "Two Punch Man" is doable with Doomhammer and 2x Rockbiter Weapons, or with any super huge DH attack.
Another to achieve: You can complete the two neutral achievements "Yogg take the wheel" and "Wheel of Misfortune" by playing Casual Duels with mage when you are offered a loot with the new Yogg and manage to play him (The second one needs to be done 3 times with three different outcomes, but it´s not that hard to pull off).
Ey its my guy free stuff is always powerful and corrupted cards are extra powerful especially the ones we've seen so I expect some usage out of this ol big boy
I guess this is a fun card at least not too sure about its effectiveness since it doesn't buff hero power ones unless they're on board and there really arent many totems to put in your deck
YOGGERS! coughs I like it letting yoggy boy take the wheel has never back fired before so I expect this to be played a fair bit even outside of meme decks since he can wipe the board or kill everyone
I like it super cheap removal granted you're playing some kind of shuffle rouge C'thun and that ticket guy make it super cheap real fast so you don't have to worry about paying the full cost probably ever
4 mana 8/8 is strong when it goes off but I don't see this working flawlessly everytime more like a toss up of getting it out on curve or holding it for some time
I suppose menagerie warrior might work a little after all with this you can typically get it reduced easily with ring leader guy. How does it work with the ALL type minions?
I’m a dad, and I probably play 20-60 minutes a day. Just calculating 7 daily quests and 3 weekly quests every week, times 16 weeks between expansions, plus extra XP for play time, wins, and achievements, I estimate that I’d make it to about rank 60. Now that the new day has started and I see that we get MULTIPLE daily quests every day, I expect to go even farther! (Edit: Never mind. I misread the new interface. Just 1 daily per day.) The gold plus the free packs and legendary cards seems slightly better than are at least as good asI would have had before, though it’s not the clear improvement I’d hoped for.
I don’t think it got more expensive. The pass is mainly for cosmetics. The XP bonus will give you some extra packs, but it doesn't change things significantly compared to spending that money directly in the shop. That can be considered strictly optional.
I do have a few concerns: Will they still give us legendary quests with free packs when the expansion launches? They might not since there are a bunch of free packs at the start of the track. If they don’t, that’s stingier. Also, I’m hearing mixed comments about whether you earn rewards for casual, brawl, and friend matches. If those don’t give you the XP, then this will be a lot worse for some people.
What Free Legendary did you get?
N'Zoth, God of the Deep and Malevolent Strike. I wanted to craft him anyways, so that was nice

Seems interesting, but I will stick to standard. Building a standard and a historic collection is a bit much imo.

New Shaman Spell - Deathmatch Pavilion
Coin wep then summon 2 on 2? or play wep on 3 and summon 4 on 4? Truly a mystery for the ages. I do find the 3/2 to be a bit weird stat wise though
New Neutral Minion - Y'Shaarj, the Defiler
Ey its my guy free stuff is always powerful and corrupted cards are extra powerful especially the ones we've seen so I expect some usage out of this ol big boy
New Shaman Minion - Grand Totem Eys'or
I guess this is a fun card at least not too sure about its effectiveness since it doesn't buff hero power ones unless they're on board and there really arent many totems to put in your deck
Celeste
One day. One day you will become renderable and we'll finally meet.
New Neutral Minion - Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate
YOGGERS! coughs I like it letting yoggy boy take the wheel has never back fired before so I expect this to be played a fair bit even outside of meme decks since he can wipe the board or kill everyone
New Rogue Spell - Shadow Clone
Free minion cloning is always nice granted its easy to play around but hey you might get a Tirion because your foe forgot this was a card
New Mage Spell - Deck of Lunacy
MEMES! For one of my favorite/most hated archetypes, I think this might see a bit of play in meme decks but I can't see this being run unironically
[DUELS] Hunter - Midrange
tried again, with Kindly Grandmother instead of Vectus that I still don't have
New Mage Minion - Sayge, Seer of Darkmoon
Even with just two secrets its already a draw 3 which is decent but if you can proc 5 or 6 he gets nuts and can refill your whole hand in one turn
New Rogue Spell - Malevolent Strike
I like it super cheap removal granted you're playing some kind of shuffle rouge C'thun and that ticket guy make it super cheap real fast so you don't have to worry about paying the full cost probably ever
New Druid Spell - Solar Eclipse
I see so many combos with this its not even funny I think this will be used quite a bit at least in meme decks if not in every combo deck
New Druid Spell - Lunar Eclipse
I guess its sort of useful I mean its sort of just slapping a free 3 damage ping on your next spell right?
New Mage Minion - Occult Conjurer
4 mana 8/8 is strong when it goes off but I don't see this working flawlessly everytime more like a toss up of getting it out on curve or holding it for some time
New Warrior Minion - Tent Trasher
I suppose menagerie warrior might work a little after all with this you can typically get it reduced easily with ring leader guy. How does it work with the ALL type minions?
New Shaman Spell - Dunk Tank
Big smack and then a little splash I think its gonna show up at least a bit in some sort of control shaman
New Rogue Minion - Tenwu of the Red Smoke
Solid looking card allows for cheesy bounce and combos although I wouldn't really want to unpack this per say
What Free Legendary did you get?
I saw few people discussing this below some main page News, and it didn´t get much attention, so I was thinking to make a thread about it.
What Free Legendary did you get from the Rewards track? Are you happy with the result or it´s the exact one you didn´t want?
Or if you want to, you can even share the free EPIC you get for lvl 5.
My free legendary was Zai, the Incredible - I´d prefer other Legendary over this as I don´t play much DH, but might try now.
My free epic was Don't Feed the Animals
Feel free to share yours :)
