Giving out buckets per expansion means there's really no more insane strats, because at some point in the run you're basically playing arena. Sure, duels usually go out looking like everyone's playing a combo deck, but at least its a different taste compared to constructed or arena.
Oh well, at least you still get a nice first 3 games before getting bogged down by shit.
I mean, at the end of the day I don't know anything about coding so I don't have a dog in this discussion... but I was active on r/Hearthstone when the prologue was released. Maybe the average HS player wouldn't get confused, but I can guarantee you a good 2/3 of Redditors were.
I suggest contacting Customer Support and explain the problem there. My take-away lesson learned is to make sure that I update the app before playing on ladder!
Money does not give you any advantage only in pool 1 and 2. But in pool 3 it does.
How? (I'm not there yet
Too many cards in pool 3 and very slow progress in collecting them. I think there are very few people who actually have all these cards, so the money will definitely give you an edge here. Do not forget that with money you can speed up the collection progress.
OG KT from Naxx, Kel'Thuzad surely does his job well too. I played a game and my opponent was nice enough to let 3xKT s alive, eventually finishing the quest whilst Khartut Defenders were alive.
For "Take a Mana, Leave a Mana" achievement, I have some insights to share because it's easier to do in Wild than in Standard thanks to these cards below:
Deck of Lunacy: When I saw Energy Shaper being printed, I immediately thought of Lunacy card. Since these two convert spells into high cost spells but remains cost from former spells, I think any converted spells played will speed up achievement. I will look forward to combo with Evocation just to speed up progress.
If you have aforementioned cards, feel free to utilize them but no need to craft just for sake of achievement hunting. I will add more if anything comes into my head. Have a nice day everyone, thanks for reading.
Seems good because you can cheat it out with Amorphous Slime, buff it with Twisted Tether and ress it with Infantry Reanimator. This might be a mini-sleeper card that will be quite good, but not broken.
This is a very slowbally card. It's horrible if it gets sniped, but very strong if it gets a couple deathrattles. Giving it 3 stars because it's honestly too swingy. It's either amazing or horrible.
Righteous Defense for 1 more mana but it actually kills the minion. In a class like warlock this seems pretty good, warlock likes their removal and they probably have a couple undeads so i think this will see play. Seems like a better Siphon Soul, because you probably want to slam down a Big Undead rather than heal a little bit of HP.
Seems very good for aggresive Warlock decks. Very good alongside Invincible and the egg, and those are the only cards that come to mind immediately. I think this will be very good in aggresive warlock decks.
I'm not sure about this card, but it does seem pretty good with the legendary. It's a ress card AND gives the undead reborn. If your only running a couple undead minions, this might be a strong play. But i still feel like this might be a bit slow.
Would you want to include a Valeera the Hollows Shadow Reflection in your deck? Knowing how that leads to some insane plays i bet this will be a must-include in a LOT of rogue decks. Worst case scenario it will be a 3th Shadowstep or Preparation. Like this already seems NUTS in Miracle rogue and probably Thief rogue for more Jackpot!s or other burgle cards.
Mana cheat, Doesn't actually draw the card instead adds a copy. This can create some funny scenarios where you play this in hand + have one in deck, and thus you can keep putting down Scourge Illusionists until you draw the 2nd copy. (Assuming you have no other deathrattle minions in deck) And even then, imagine getting a free Rotten Rodent for more mana-cheat. Worst case scenario, your just pumping up your Sire Denathrius with 1 minion at least per turn.
I'm not sure how good this will be right now, but i'm really inclined to give this 4 stars because this will be NUTS the second DR Rogue gets any more support. (Assuming it gets any, just look at previous DR rogue "support" a.k.a. 1-2 filler cards per expansion)
Nice meme card which really shines in Thief Rogue when played via with Swiftscale Trickster. Also works well in Ramp Druid after Wildheart Guff has been played.
Well, whatever you're saying is not inaccurate, but also fairly futile, because this is the state of blizz today. Its actually a very junior partner in terms of revenue, third place to king (and the ridiculously easy money they get off candy crush) and activision, despite its much more impressive history and IPs. Hearthstone is indeed an easy way to milk money because unlike other games you can't exactly play hearthstone without buying into at least a portion of its expansions - unless you like seeing your face explode all the time.
As for what is the acceptable amount of cash you should drop to that giant maw of a company, well, that's really up to the individual player. I usually pay for the rewards track and that's about it. Sometimes I drop another 20 bucks their way for 20 (+ 2 extra lengendaries) packs but never over that amount. I get more than enough dust to play all the tier 1-2 decks doing that.
The path of arthas set is definitely something I don't support, because Im asked to pay yet another 20 bucks for a set that is practically mandatory to play DK at all. The alternative is paying somewhere around 3k or more in dust, just to play frost DK which will definitely be tier 1.
That 80 bucks bundle is not worth it, trust me. The 20 bucks bundle is far superior because of the complementary 2 legendaries that comes with it. Preordering bundles are for whales, because anything below that category of homo sapiens will immediately be suffering from buyers remorse.

Just Hit Pool 2
Fairly exciting Ebony Maw was my first grab 1 mana 7 power.
Very strong for Dino decks you force extra resources out of your opponent while if you draw him late game he just makes your t Rex bigger.
Pool 2 is very important for movement archetypes, destruction archetypes, and discard.
While Pool 1 you're kinda forced into Swarm, Dino, or Odin.
So yeah looking forward to Marvel Snap getting a little more diverse and complicated as my collection expands.

So the buckets only give cards from the expansions that you've used in your deck, now?

personally, I like the new buckets. They give you good cards that (sometimes) have a synergy.
I have gotten Prince Renthal tho at like 35 health, so I feel dirty lol.

Enjoying this card a lot in thief Rogue. Espeically with Knights in the Core set. Using Lilian Voss to reroll the spells is quite fun.
Great fun neutral spell.
