Do you remember those times, when you went for a murloc comp, you played Gentle Megasaur alongside Brann Bronzebeard, you highrolled into the poisonous and divine shield adaptations and you thought to yourself "gg"? A few minutes ago I experienced something similar:
Show Spoiler
My last card was Annoy-o-Module at that time, but I changed it to Righteous Protector, in order to play around a possible Zapp Slywick. As you can imagine, I won every single match from this moment on and I didn't even change my board (with the exception of the aforementioned tech card). My opponents weren't weak, mind you - especially not Patches, that had a board full of 50+ statted pirates.
I loved even Paladin back in the day before they nerfed Call to Arms! I got Genn Greymane as my free login legendary at the outset of The Witchwood (I think there was a freebie(?) - if not, I unpacked him on day one), and I loved all the even archetypes. I played budget versions, but they were fun - and I played a ton of even Shaman in wild.
I have clocked in a bit of Arena recently and I have to say, it is pretty terrible right now.
The game boils down to either a) you have a good curve early and win or b) your randomly discovered cards are better/worse than your opponent. The worst experiences I have had were against Mage and Priest who are able to pull answer after answer out of their ass (or just use your own deck’s cards to kill you). I
The last few expansions card generation has gotten more and more important. Curving out on the other hand, while still important, is not as important as it used to be. This is mostly because swings are getting bigger. Cards like Scavenging Shivarra are capable of destroying huge boards while tempoing out a minion at the same time.
I haven't had the change to play priest yet this expansion - I average about half a run a day - but what I've seen from my opponents, nothing much has changed. They all have Thoughtsteal, Mind Control, Apotheosis, Renew and plenty of board clears. Card generation, heal, and board control. A specific new card that took me by surprise multiple times is Initiation. Before the expansion was out I thought of it as a card similar to Holy Water, but it's more like the product of Scavenging Shivarra and Mind Control. Fits right into their arsenal.
Your main goal with priest is usually to outlast your opponent. Don't spam the board too hard, but always try to have a minion to stick into your next turn. This way you're constantly threatening Apotheosis and Power Word: Feast. In the late game Mind Control is your best friend.
Unlucky runs with priest will always exist. That doesn't necessarily mean that your deck was bad or that you played badly. Many priests cards are really situational. When an opponent slips through all the cracks there isn't much that you can do about it.
Ezreal runs butcher, urchin, pool shark, merchant.
Endure runs an absolute crap ton of cheap early drops.
So unless this expansion totally flips how Legends of Runterra is played, Trundel will need to exist in a list with a decent number of 1, 2, 3 mana plays.
Like the largest number of 8 drops a list would ever be able to support is like 5 tops.
So instead it's better to tutor for the 8 drops already in your deck, entreat would fetch tyndamere
and extra Trundels probably turns into an 8 mana spell too
As someone who only lurks and sometimes posts decks, I'm quite surprised my deck is showcased here! Still trying to optimize it but totem shaman is is looking fun so far! (and my bad for naming it odd...)
Dunno, Blizzard hinted they are gonna do something with the classic set next year.. better hold to them than open a potential duplicate legendary or some useless epics I don't need (missing a few, they are not great...)
If they rework the classic set and those packs are the ones to open then I will have around 40 to open when they do that.. or maybe some DH cards.. who knows.
Anyway I am saving them and every week I am annoyed as a veteran players those continue accumulating while I still don't have all rares from the newest expansion.

This Week's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl is "Party Portals!" - Karazhan Portals Gone Wild
I didn´t play much these days, so I hoarded three daily quests:
Play 3 games as mage,...
Play 3 Brawl games
Play X spells
This brawl is perfect for me I guess XD

Could it be... The Lich King?
Northrend, Arthas has fallen, and soon the Scourge will rise.
This is fine
This happened in a GM match where Firebat got GA off on turn 2, instantly won the match. What a joke

The occasional tempo priest still exists, but I think you should only draft towards that if you were lucky enough to draft cards like Power Word: Feast, Frazzled Freshman and Dragonmaw Overseer early on.

I wouldn't call within the hour a late response!
This may be a bit easy, but I'm rusty at these.

A land of ice and stone,
After all, a noble falls,
You'll soon hear the moving bones.

Sorry for the late response, but yeah! It is!
About the norseman fire - Fire means four in Norwegian, so you have to pay 4 to get 10 cards
This is fine
Doesn't matter as long as you had fun kappa
Handlock with Archwitch Willow!
Any alts for Alexstrasza? That's the only card in the list I don't have.

Hot Take - Trundle Is Amazing But Not Why You Think
The reality is that right now in Legends there is not a single list that is top tier that doesn't curve out.
Ash Sejunai runs hawk, brittle steel, archer, elixir, glory seeker.
Ezreal runs butcher, urchin, pool shark, merchant.
Endure runs an absolute crap ton of cheap early drops.
So unless this expansion totally flips how Legends of Runterra is played, Trundel will need to exist in a list with a decent number of 1, 2, 3 mana plays.

hmmm stocking up on the classic packs now doesn't sound like a bad idea
If I started saving packs until next year it'd be about 30 or so. that's a pretty good start on a revamped classic and basic set.
That's if we have to open new cards
