Another interesting thing about Maiev, she doesn't work well with Charge. One time I played Leeroy Jenkins, punched my opponent for 6 damage, then put him asleep to guarantee another attack. But lo and behold two turns later Leeroy awoke and couldn't attack. I am not sure if it is suppose to work like this, but it shouldn't.
But conversely she does work with Charge - hence the Raging Worgen OTK I got hit with yesterday. For some reason the code interprets that spell as "wake up without any sleeping sickness" so it can hit face immediately regardless of the actual spell text.
I also tried to use her to keep a dormant minion asleep for another 2 turns to delay its wake-up, but alas that does not work.
I just built an OTK deck featuring Raging Worgen, Maiev Shadowsong, and Charge alongside some buffs and Bloodsworn Mercenary. I played the Worgen, gave it Charge, then put it to sleep. When he woke up he kept the buff and still had Charge, and he could go face. But the copies I summoned with the Mercenary couldn't go face. Weird.
Actually it doesn't. I haven't tested it with learned DRs like Teron, but I've had buffed minions put to sleep by her, and they wake up with their buffs still intact. Stands to reason other things would stick too
whoops, sorry about that. I made that comment after half watching a youtube video thinking that it did, before even playing it myself.
Well, i just thought it would be nice to have a reference for how long it takes to compare it with other games, not that i was aiming for it anyway.
It's kinda of an awkward metric, since going 90% -> 100% probably takes as much time as going from 0% -> 50%. Using myself as an example: I'm pretty casual (~10 hrs/week, always hit Vault Rank 10 but usually not much higher), and most of my capsules are ~80% duplicates, yet I discovered last week that I'm still 1:3 on Assembly Bot and Shroom Peddler.
But then again: I've been playing HS since Boomsday and before this no-duplicates change I was 0:2 on Flame Imp, so /shrug.

probably spaghetti code. Charge minions are basically hardwired to bypass summoning sickness when they are played or summon. I assume Dormant works differently, as it doesn't actually summon a minion, but rather puts an existing target in timeout. At the same time Dormant is hardwired to always give an awakening minion summoning sickness...and for some reason they didn'T code Charge to bypass that interaction.

Do you think you can start adding links to the top of the report that jump you down to each class? This is especially needed for mobile. If you're reading this report on mobile, and want to skip down to say, Warlock, it is A LOT of scrolling. It would be nice to just hit a Warlock link that takes you down to the Warlock report.
Just a thought, no idea how hard that would be to implement.
Here's what happened. I'm playing Tempo Demon Hunter (yes, yes, I'm a real bastard, I know, just wanted to grab up some easy ranks before the second nerfs hit). Drop my Imprisoned Antaen on curve (cuz I like winning). He wakes up and sprays his 10 damage all over the place, then my opponent plays Maiev Shadowsong and puts him back to sleep. Two turns later, he wakes back up and guess what? Ten more damage to my enemy's board and face.
Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who hasn't seen this interaction.
On a related note, I've also seen buffed minions put to sleep by Maiev, and wake up with their buffs intact. Also good to know.
I didn't use Mountseller or Kaelthas, the only minions I used were Garden Gnome and Anubisath Defender, no Overflow, no Bogbeam, no Innervate. I used Trump's variant of the deck, he made a video on it.

I think one of the problems for "Big Druid" is that it went too far away from some of the things that made Embiggen Druid good in the first place - buffed minions with Rush/Charge that fight for the board immediately when pulled off of Strength in Numbers.
I think moving away from some of the trash (Exotic Mountseller) and towards Marsh Hydra and Evasive Wyrm will be a start.
I think Spell Mage is really close to being a real deck, it just needs one or two more payoff cards.
I want to try that Warlock on, but I don't have Prince Taldaram. I've been debating crafting him for a while, but I'm the idiot that feels like if I craft a card that I'm going to be using for my favorite class/deck, it HAS to be golden. And 3200 can be a stretch
And I would be ok with that. I cannot imagine anyone that is playing druid WOULDN'T want that. Can you imagine having 10 excess mana and Kael'Thas on the board?
PSA: Don't use Maiev to put Dormant minions back to sleep!

Congrats Helicopter, congrats you have 11 days to enjoy before you collect more cards. Took me around the same amount of time 10 weeks.

They are definitely playing on special accounts, that’s also why every player has all golden card decks.

Forgive me brothers...
I, too, have to confess a Sin...
I've played some Version of Scumbag-Res Priest up till D5. But, after hitting a Wall I switched to Highlander and got to Legend (30k+).
Got the Warrior Legendary, which sucks cause I don't play that Class. But I guess I deserve that for playing Res!
