Sooooo in preparation for Descent of Dragons on Tuesday, I suggest y’all should watch rick and morty ss4 ep 4. It’s about Morty getting a dragon. You don’t even need to watch the other episodes, just this one to get the dragon vibes
The Woolly Mammoth bit had me in TEARS I was laughing so hard.
I would advise against it. If you only play standard you're probably better off buying packs of the latest standard set. The reasoning is that the conversion from dust to card is always worse than opening the desired card directly. There are seven sets in wild at the moment, even assuming that it doesn't take ten packs for each set to get the "first ten" legendary, on average you'd spend probably 3500 gold to get the 2800 dust, plus whatever change you get from the remaining cards. I haven't done the math or calculated the probabilities for the rarities, but I would be surprised if you'd come out much better than a 1:1 gold to dust ratio. So for your 3.5k gold you'd barely get more than two new cards to play with.
Especially with Descend of Dragons coming out today, I think it is much better to buy those packs, you'll get more cards to keep in your collection and play with, and fewer cards you need to craft, plus some dust.
How could he play wild until now i really wonder. He says he started in Witchwood. He never collected wild cards before. He probably have Genn or Baku and wants to play wild.
I wanted to not read after i saw "If you are only playing standard".
Also, he will see his collections going wild in time, if he don't start to collect some in time for wild, it will be more hard in time to collect with more cards and if he says he wants to play wild now, he will probably want more when his cards keep going wild. After 4 month, most of his collection will rotate.
Something is about will and what people wants, People don't want always the best answer. If he wants to play wild tell him how he should buy and how he should make collection for wild.
So @OP, Yes buy at least 10- until you find a legendary and buy them how i described above. buy one after open one keep going until you find a legendary and praise the rng god that it gives you legendaries at first packs ! :D After that and at mid-expansion, you might buy more according to your gold management. If you play arena and you are good; you can even buy more to expand your collection !
You misunderstood. "No duplicate rule" is that you cannot open the same legendary twice, until you own all of them from the same set. Meaning you should craft golden legendary you do want golden, that way you will not open the regular copy anymore and will not waste a legendary drop on something you already have.

Finally finished explanations and added some more tokens that I forgot to add.
I will add upgraded versions of melodies in a week, it seems i didn't saved them permanently so their links died, couldn't find them so I will make them again and with the DoD coming, it might take time. :)
Thank you so much for the reminder, I almost missed it!
Only 5 hours left!!!!
BAAH humbug! They disabled signup because the rotation is happening soon.
Sorry to hear that :( On which server do you play? Im trying to figure out how long before the launch they disable entries for a few expansions now, but it is not an easy way to do :D It used to be about 6-8 hours, but last time someone reported that they got in like 1 hour before, so i have no idea if they changed it again or not.
So.... Wait. If I use some of my dust to craft a few Legendaries before opening my packs then I get a higher chance of getting a Golden? I'm not sure...
The new hunter legendary dragon, Veranus isn't a spell itself but it combines very well with most of hunter's removal tools: unleash, explosive trap, Desert Spear, lynxes, etc. The hunter class isn't traditionally good at dealing with wide boards so your options are pretty limited. There's also Crushing Walls if you're running Zul'jin anyway.
I would say yes it is worth it buying until your first legendary. Though I do disagree about dusting all of your wild cards, you never know what you might be playing in a year from now.
Just cause you are getting Sathrovarr and Shield of Galakrond for free does not mean you cant open them in packs. I suppose technically you wont open Sathrovarr, since you will own him already, but you can open a golden one, once you have all DOD legendaries (or normal one, if you DE him).
Aye, I remember times when I would really appreciate Platebreaker, but as you've stated, nowadays the meta just ain't really that armor heavy, though who knows, maybe we'll witness a fall of Secret Mages one beautiful day!
Man, all this discussion about Tyrande and I'm just sitting here with my 1k Anduin skin annoying people with my WOW-Emote.
But, just to add something to all this: I think that the old Owners should be compensated.
I see a lot of people here writting stuff like „you're not losing anything", „you just don't want others to enjoy that skin“, etc.This might get me downvoted, but truth is that older owners do lose something, and that's the emotional value of this skin. Yes, getting Tyrande was not hard, but that's not important. What is however is this little special something that you get from being at the right place at the right time, which is very important to collectors.
When you're selling a product, which in this case is indirectly HS, you want to gain the trust/appreciation of your customerbase. The best way to do so is to establish an emotional bond between customer and product. Or, to put it in other words: You're not just selling a product, you're also selling the experience!
„Hey, you watch HS on Twitch? Well, thank you for your interest in the Community! Here's a little gift!“
By giving away the Skin for free, you are taking away the value it has to players, which leads to them feeling betrayed. You don't want this to happen, so you should give older owners at least something.
So, yeah, it's complicated. I don't think to much about skins, they're just some jpg's with moving effects. But if you do, if you are someone who paid for their skin or did take part in a special event, you should be compensated. After all, you did your part in this Customer-Product-Relationship by engaging and giving your trust to Blizzard.
That’s all well and good, but Blizzard sold the product. The fact that older players bought it for the experience is another matter entirely, which Blizzard has no responsibility over. Therefore, Blizzard doesn’t owe them refunds.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough
When I say product I mean HS, not the Skin itself.
About the expierience-thing: It's very important to give your target group something they can expierience, so they keep engaging with the product (in this case: take part in limited time Event — > maybe spend Money on Packs/Skins). So, yes, Blizzard has some kind of responsibility when it comes things like these, cause it's these things that lead to more trust between them and the customer and therefore possibly more sales in the future.
I'm not talking about Refunds. The Customers were not harmed, so that would be the wrong thing. What I'm saying is, that it would be in Blizzards interest to compensate these „collectors " and keep their trust, because these are also the people that are the most likely to buy more of exclusive Items (like Skins through Pre-Order).
Highlighted the pieces of your argument I want to talk about. You claim that the best business strategy (in your opinion) is to give a sense of trust to old players (by giving them the exclusivity they claim to deserve for playing longer). That’s a reasonable opinion, I’m sure, but that does NOT mean that Blizzard has a moral obligation to abide by that strategy. Just because a certain policy may be their best option financially doesn’t mean they are morally obligated to do it.
This discussion is about whether OP is right to be mad at Blizzard or not for a decision they took, which means we are discussing whether Blizzard is morally on the wrong here. Therefore, your argument doesn’t fit here.
Descent of Dragons Launch Survival Guide - Everything You Need To Know
The Woolly Mammoth bit had me in TEARS I was laughing so hard.
question about wild packs
and I would advise;
If you buy with gold buy 1 open 1 buy 1 and open 1 until you find a legendary.
Don't make it like buy 10 / open 10.
How could he play wild until now i really wonder. He says he started in Witchwood. He never collected wild cards before. He probably have Genn or Baku and wants to play wild.
I wanted to not read after i saw "If you are only playing standard".

The thing is, if you craft a GOLDEN Legendary, you won't get a common one for the same one.

Best answers (preferably spells) to wide boards?

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
I would guess Former Champ, but it seemed like DestroyerR had the wrong idea when he guessed Big-Time Racketeer. So it is probably Jeweled Macaw
Microcopter
cutest card of the set, even if its just a token
