Yeah, that 2nd Alex is a 32/32

He actually cleared this board 2 seconds later with a Puzzle Box

Super fun game. Alex is ridiculous

So salty right now... 68 packs, 2 legendaries Frizz Kindleroost and Nithogg. 

Pretty much same here :(

Except you got better legendaries than me if that's some consolation 

Quote From KANSAS

I only opened about 30-35 packs but I got four legendaries, which is pretty good. 

I got the priest 3/3 legendary which sucks because I don't play priest. I also got Veranus and Ancharrr which is pretty cool. But my favorite is Kronx Dragonhoof which I would have had to craft because he is just so good.

Overall I would say I had pretty good luck opening packs.

Amazing! I came to complain I only got 2 legendaries in 50 packs (veranus and the deathrattle priest one), and only a few meme eipcs...

In one of the most powerful expansions ever, I am pretty disappointed haha 

Does Shudderwock repeat the updated Galakrond's battlecry?

Played a few things. In my opinion Glakrond quest shaman is the strongest. It generates huge boards over and over and over again. The double invokes keep the board under control early. I only lost to perfect curve aggro warrior with a terrible starting hand. I took it from from Rank 8 to 4 in a bit over an hour. I also like highlander dragon mage. Super fun and can hold its own. I tried a bit of pirate warrior and gave it up after a few games because my draw was too inconsistent. Will be trying Galakrond dragon warrior next I think.

DAY 1 CRAFTS: Frizz Kindleroost, Necrium Apothecary, 2x [Hearthstone Card (Dragon Poacher) Not Found], Nether Breath. 2,300 total dust used.

Number of 40 & Dust Packs (rare and four commons, no golds): 77. (SoU comparison: 67/135 packs).( Seemed like a lot more – I kept getting the same rares over and over)

Almost complete set: Warrior (missing a copy of both epics)
Fairly balanced attendance by classes; received no Warlock epics and only one for Shaman, Rogue and Hunter.

That Card That Keeps Showing Up, and It's Annoying Me: Cobalt Spellkin and Bad Luck Albatross, the rares that made me despondent I would be missing a lot of cards (just missing three rare cards in the end -- but likely useful ones).
F—k you, I’m Epically Annoying: Received five copies of Dread Raven, which I foresee myself never using. Am missing a lot of epics though.
DUSTED ON SIGHT: Gold Skyfin. Death to murloc decks.

Alternated card backs every 10 or 20 packs. Best card backs? Power Core (3 legendaries in 20 packs), Suramar (only 8 no new card packs and 8 40 & Dust late in the collecting, plus 1 legendary in 20 packs), and Shado-Pan (2 legendaries out of 20 packs).

It gives server error (500) now. I would like to see it now but I need to sleep, so it will be the first thing I will check up tomorrow.

Links not working for me.

Whizbang beats all of those tho.

Poor Blowtorch Saboteur, Spider Tank with upside is not enough anymore to please the crowds...

Will try this one If I have the cards.mostly do this un paladin, and tried odd leg priest a while ago. This one looks really playable and fun

Thanks guys!

Try playing WoW for 10 years straight & having very rare tcg mounts/items that you ground out months' worth of gold for handed out on the BMAH copy pasta style like it was nothing.

I'm hardly salty over Blizzard giving away old cardbacks or heroes in HS. The only 'work' HS players put into cosmetics is pretty much summed up as "Did I spend a few dollars during this promotion?" or "Did I bother playing a few games on ranked across an entire month to get this one random card back?"

This argument pretty much holds no water in HS when compared to many of the other Blizzard games where in many instances you almost do have to make the game your 'job outside of work' to get rare, hard, or super grindy stuff sometimes.

Yarr :P

Suddenly a million agro players called out and were silenced.

great compendium! i miss the worst class cards

Great article - so much effort.  Have a free arena ticket so will need to read up!

INFINITE VALUUUUUUUUUUUUE!!!!!!

And Squashlings. 

First thing I tried was a Highlander-Dragon-Galkrond-Priest... Wasn't really good. Compared to wild Razakus-Priest, you really lack boardclear and heal. Card draw/generation was fine though.

Then I tried pure Galakrond-Priest and I won about half of my games (won against every Mage, one Waxadred-Rogue but had a pretty tough time against shaman an warrior). The HP is just like Deathstalker Rexxars:It wins you the lategame. As it turns out, heal and infinite big Minions is preeeeeettyyyy goooooood! 

I also play Murozond the Infinite in this Deck, and he's actually better than I thought. Cause, you know, he copys your Opponents turn, and they usually try to have a GOOD turn. The best Thing that happend:  Opponent plays Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, clears my board with the Maly-Flamestrike and plays 2 other 8-8s (Pocket Galaxy) .Than BOOM. Murozond hits the board, I clear his entire Board AND develop multiple 8-8s.

Great job!

I've been waiting for these since the site launched :) 

Do I need to click a link for the results of the votes?  I can't see very well on my gawd-awful phone.

They can be discovered and randomly generated. I don't really like it either, would be better they couldn't.
