I'd really love an option to check a box on each board to select which ones appear.  I'd like the newest one to the one that appears most for me.

Rogues are def in need of a new hero skin!

I wonder what are those. My guess will be that these are kinda the thing used by Mowgai or Swim that makes you look the hp that the enemy will lose after the combat phase or to see the hole splash art of the cards.

Also, anyone here use any of those?

Love the weekend wild decks. gonna give them a spin!

Oh yeah, I'm so glad this thread never dies. Necromancy isn't always a bad thing after all :D

These are my numbers 1 month after my last post

Priest: 735 - If Raza is going to be unnerfed I dare to say King Anduin will be my first 1k skin

Hunter: 553 - Dragon Hunter is fun and all, but racing down your opponents isn't

Rogue: 694 - Imagine paying mana for your cards 4Head

Improved Shaman and Warlock, but to be fair I haven't played much in the last weeks due to other stuff.

I get why you want that, but it would kinda defeat the purpose of the system.

The goal is to show you (a user) one random(ish) card each time you refresh the page. The system calculates which card has a higher priorty to be shown so all of them get a roughly equal view time across the board.

If there was an option to see all at once, you would never vote on many cards, or you would never look over all of them. Which you will not do anyway either way most likely, but that is ok, since the views are going to be spread across many users and the fairness of the cards being shown isnt in hands of each individual, but in a system that tries to balance it for everyone.

Even if the page where you would see all didnt have a set order in which cards are displayed and would shuffle every time, it would still bring an unfair advantage to the cards being displayed first/higher, which would be the same as the old system on pwn, post fast=get more views=probably more votes. This is the main thing we are trying to eliminate.

Maybe we can consider showing more than one at once (3? 5?), tho once there is going to be prompt with tokens or multiple cards, that could make things awkward.

What about a Next button, still random, wouldn't have to hit refresh the page... More so for us mobile users. 

Am I the only one who thinks Hench-Clan Squire is the opposite of cute, like it has been at a rave for 3 days straight?

Nice collection, but no real contenders against past champions like Snowflipper Penguin or Murloc Tinyfin.

Meta is a weird thing. Last week I encountered mostly Rogue, Mage and Priest, while today I got five Hunters in a row. None of them were playing Dragon Hunter though (one Quest, one Mech, one Face and two different Beast variants).

True. I think the nearer you get to the safe zones (rank 15,10,5 etc.) the weirder ladder gets. But all the better for it.

I have made a few attempts at a Sidequest Mage deck today, but that was a big disappointment. Part of the problem is the current elementals aren't good enough in this rush-heavy meta: for example Fire Hawk often becomes 7/3, but I wasn't able to do any face damage with it.

You can still try double sidequest mage, with Chenvaala and Mana Cyclone. If you get Elemental Evocation+Chenvaala on turn 1, its very favorable towards you from then on. I've tried quest+Learn Draconic cyclone mage. Kinda nice, can win some games but absolutely impossible to beat priest and face hunter. Ditch the Fire Hawk. Nearly every tier 1-2 mulligan for some 3 damage card.

For Paladin, maybe Air Raid is the card that brings both sidequests together.

I've actually forgotten that pure pally plays both sidequests. But none play the quest synergy cards. Yeah, this class is perhaps the best to do double sidequest with. Mostly because the conditions for it is too general.

Quote From dapperdog

I think team5 purposefully created the sidequests in such a way that they dont synergize well with one another and that's my impression with druid sidequests.

They created sidequests with different synergies, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're in conflict.

In the case of Druid, getting 3 copies of Claw is very flexible, since you can use it as removal or as burn depending on what you need in a particular game.

I have made a few attempts at a Sidequest Mage deck today, but that was a big disappointment. Part of the problem is the current elementals aren't good enough in this rush-heavy meta: for example Fire Hawk often becomes 7/3, but I wasn't able to do any face damage with it. But another part is in the sidequests themselves: Elemental Allies works best with cheap spells (because of their abilities and because it's easier to keep the elemental chain going if you can play more than one card per turn) while Learn Draconic works best with more expensive spells. So for Mage, I do think the sidequests are difficult to fit into the same deck.

I have some ideas for a Sidequest Beast Hunter, but I don't really want to craft a second Toxic Reinforcements since if the idea fails I may never play that card again.

For Paladin, maybe Air Raid is the card that brings both sidequests together.

Quote From dapperdog

In this case, I'm particularly worried that the entire deck can be taken down with nothing more than a Faerie Dragon on 2, and Evasive Feywing on 4, both are currently in two of the top tier decks, hence the Scaleriders.

Maybe remove the Escaped Manasabers for Oasis Surgers, or Evasive Feywings? Remove alex + 1x ferocious howl for 2x Winged Guardian. At least with this there's a good chance you can steamroll rogue, and have a decent chance against dragon hunter.

Meta is a weird thing. Last week I encountered mostly Rogue, Mage and Priest, while today I got five Hunters in a row. None of them were playing Dragon Hunter though (one Quest, one Mech, one Face and two different Beast variants).

I agree that Alex and Howl are candidates for replacement. I don't want to lose the Manasabers though: being able to ramp into Emerald Explorer or Evasive Wyrm can really decide games.

flark's nine has got to be one of the most expensive list I've seen in a long time.

*Bronze Explorer not making the list

This whole election has been rigged by the elites against working people of this country.

I think team5 purposefully created the sidequests in such a way that they dont synergize well with one another and that's my impression with druid sidequests. I can fully empathize with players who dont chase up ranks and merely want to have a good time (I alternate between gaining ranks with meta decks, then losing them all with a fun experimental deck), but I feel deck building should be made with the meta in mind.

I made up a side quest hunter deck and tried it out a little.

It feels like I've made a slightly confused deck. But it is reasonably fun to play.

Nice!

The deck does indeed look a bit confused about its identity, with the rush minions, face damage and dragons all in there. There doesn't seem to be a lot of synergy between those packages.

Maybe beasts instead of dragons would work? The rush package already consists of beasts and Phase Stalker and Kill Command would synergize with the other sidequest. Revenge of the Wild would also be good with Sky Gen'ral Kragg.

I think you'd probably want two copies of Tracking, so that if you don't get a sidequest in your opening hand, you can go fish for it.

I love these weekend articles :)

Usually don't have all the cards but it gives me ideas - glad we have rank floors these days :P

Quote From dapperdog

Escaped Manasaber, Licensed Adventurer, Alexstrasza, and Secure the Deck all in one deck, usually means combo but your deck doesnt have any combo that OTKs or TTKs. If tempo is the game, then not having Oasis Surger or Faceless Corruptor, or Scalerider means you have few mid game tempo swing cards, and very vulnerable to mech pally or dragon hunter.

I'm not sure Alexstrasza really should be in the deck. She's useful if you haven't been able to get your opponent's life total down enough because of armor or Zilliax, but there have been games where I was above 15 health and my opponent below 15 by the time I could play her, and even more games that were over on turn 7/8.

Faceless Corruptor is a great card if you have a small minion on board, but that's not often the case with this deck. Oasis Surger might be a good addition; I chose to include more dragons instead but I'm not sure what's better. Scalerider would add another low roll to the sidequest; maybe it's good enough to make that an acceptable risk, similar to Questing Explorer and Licensed Adventurer, but so far I haven't really missed it: many decks seem to either go so wide that you need Swipe or they don't play anything significant until turn 5.

Quote From dapperdog

I think its best to rework the deck to fit Gonk, the Raptor. But dont let me stop you, I would be interested to know your win rate with this list.

I like Gonk, but for a Gonk combo you need a lot of support cards, which means the combo would dictate the entire deck. Maybe just having Gonk and the sidequest could work, but in practice the Claw damage often goes face, so I have some doubts about Gonk's added value.

I haven't been keeping stats, plus I don't play at highly competitive ranks anyway (currently at rank 13) since I only play a handful of games per day and most of what I play is experimental and off-meta decks.

Its alright, I respect all opinions, even the shitty ones. But if Big ‘ol Whelp doesn’t win..

Azure Explorer is totally the Cutest of them all!

Well, since the objectively cutest card (Rafaam) didn’t make it in, I suppose I’ll vote for my second choice.

Big Ol’ Whelp for the win!

My vote is for Hench-Clan Squire

Didn't even think about it, and would be semi-perfect, but no.

For clarification, one of the cards is a spell.

No problem! <3

Infested Wolf & Kindly Grandmother?

The "big smile" and "sly" immediately made me think of "grandma, what big teeth you have" and wolves being cunning/sly.

And then the other wolf being where a big minion spawns smaller minions
