Expedition is definitely worth your time as you will get a guaranteed Champion alongside all the xp. Bad drafts feel less awful when you have a second trial for a better result.
My advice in random order:
As you may have noticed, your main card sources are the weekly chest and the region rewards. You want to hit (at least) lvl 10 vault every week for a free expedition token so don't forget to do your dailies.
Try to figure out the region which has the tools you need for the decks you want to try, and go change that as your region which gets your xp. If you have no preferences, grind them all to lvl 8 to get a champion capsule from each of them.
I would hold back crafting cards as you will get plenty of them from various sources; only do that if you reaaally want something for a specific deck.
Zed is a strong starter champion and Tryndamere a great finisher but I liked Garen the most (they are all starters right? I'm starting to lose count what the initial ones were...)
I'll try to pop by in this thread if I remember something else that I think could be helpful.
EDIT: Another important point: You want to get (at least) three PvP wins every day for that sweet bonus xp (+400, +200, and +100, respectively) because xp is everything!
She's an undead high elf. High elves are what blood elves used to be until they lost the Sunwell and turned to Fel magic. Sylvanas died and was resurrected shortly before any of that happened, though.
I don't know much at all about Wow lore but isn't Sylvanas a blood elf or she has something to do with them? If so maybe the Sylvanas hero skin was a tease for three next expansion? I'm sure that's a stretch.
With blood elves and demon shenanigans possibly going on, maybe they will also make Illidan Stormrage playable as well. Or a new card. He's too cool to be forever relegated to a Power of Creation summons.
Hi all, I'm a multiple-time Legend player in Hearthstone, just started playing LoR. I'm free to play. So far I have been enjoying it by trying to build decks with my small collection myself and sniping a few wins over more complete decks on low ladder. Though I have a really hard time deciding which cards and how many copies to include in my decks.
If anyone has similar HS background but have been in LoR for a longer, any general advice on how you have approached this game? E.g., which beginning Champions do you think are good (and fun)? I liked Braum and Jinx the most. Lux feels really weak. Any advice on how to build up your collection? Any cards to craft? What about expedition? I averaged 7 wins in Hearthstone Arena and that's where I started to build up my collection in HS. So I'm really interested in trying expedition, but any advice is welcome.
I like the other finalists here, a lot of cool ideas. I think this was a harder theme to come up with cards for because of the power level being a whole lot higher than normal. But I like the ideas that everyone came up with (Mark of Dalaran and Rodney being my two favorites). May the best card win!
Regarding The Rekindler, I don't think it would be appropriate to nerf it unless you can come up with a couple of other decks where it's truly oppressive.
If Hecarim is pretty much the only time Rekindler is a problem, that points to the real problem being Hecarim. In fact, Rekindler could make a good canary in the coal mine for detecting troublesome Champions in general.
I don't think that's a good barometer, personally, because all you'd be identifying is champions that give a lot of value/inevitability. The only reason Trynd isn't being played alongside Rekindler is Freljord's late game push got nerfed badly after closed beta.
Judging new champions by merit of 'does this make Rekindler broken' basically means new champions stick to 5 mana or below and are either stat-sticks or understatted value, tbh.
Obviously it's not the only measure -- just one of many. Why do people insist on jumping to logical extremes?
Shirvala's protection and that one warlock card with Overkill: remove the top 5 cards of your opponents deck were the ones i really liked and i belive had a chance of the finals
I also liked the minion with Overkill, thought that would have made quite a few of the challenger shrines much easier to deal with. Since it's an auto-remove it's not like it would hang around too long either; I thought it was balanced as far as treasures go.
Meme or not I also believe this to be water based what looks like flames could be waves maybe a leviathan. Don't really mind either way it's nice to speculate
Great article yall! I tried to play the game circa Naxx but I was so horrible at it back then I didnt give it much thought. Until I returned to the game near the end of UnGoro and I have enjoyed every moment of it ever since!
Agreed on there not being a whole year. What I meant to imply in the article is that each year has one set that ties directly to the Year Animal. I by no means expect there to be an entire year about blood elves-- or even another year-long story at all right now. And I agree on the demon part. They could use some love in the way that dragons got so much love in the last set and mechs got it in Boomsday.

Might be good with Zoolock. Though I'm sure that's been experimented with by now.

If that was the case, they would've saved that for the big year announcement. Instead, it's just something to tide us over.

This is right around the time I started playing Hearthstone. A trip down memory lane... what a crazy 4 years it has been, both in my life and in HS.
Looking forward to another New Year and to see what comes next!

Which card are you going to miss the most from the upcoming rotating sets and how would you replace it?
yay I was thinking it came from Booms day.

I feel the "hype" was for the BG changes, with Dragons added. I'm not getting my hopes up for Constructed or Arena.

Wonder what are the big changes to F2P/low cost players.. looking forward to it.. if it's something boring/disappointing I might just quit.
