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.
I added a copy of Explosive Trap but have yet to test it. I thought of adding one Flare against secrets but Im really only weak to polymorph and even then it's kind of easy to save a lynx till right before dropping Mechathun.
Thanks for the feedback. The words about the guide was copy and pasted from the previous deck which currently has 25 upvotes and is one of the top 10 most upvoted decks on this site. I will remove the reward tiers from this deck. I don't really have the means or the time to make guides, but if the community shows over time that they are engaging and supporting it I will make the time.
I'm unconvinced that deckhand is worth it. There are only 3 weapons in the deck, and deckhand does NOT get charge just from your hero being able to attack (so Invoke will not give deckhand charge). I think Frothing Berserker is better than Deckhand, especially with Awaken!.
Would Raza the Chained make any sense in this deck or is the payout just too small? I've always considered Raza to be too weak to make a deck around since the nerf but it has somewhat fallen into the "might-as-well" category.
I find it funny that every single post upset by the lack of compensation for the people who already owned Tyrande is getting downvoted into oblivion. Here, on Reddit, everywhere. You have to add a 'I'm glad you guys are getting her too' disclaimer to any post that touches this subject or else you're just gonna get spammed with red arrows. I think this shows how small of a minority the Tyrande owners actually are, in which case it really boggles my mind, why not offer a compensation in the first place? When I heard that Tyrande will be free with the arrival of a new $10 hero, I honestly thought Sylvanas will be given for those that don't apply, but hey apparently not.
On one hand I really am glad more people will be able to switch out of Anduin, as I don't give two hoots about exclusivity. But on the other hand, I do feel like I earned her: by being a long-time customer, paying attention to Hearthstone-related news, and spending a full two hours learning and troubleshooting the process of getting her since I was not part of the eligible countries either. Others got Tyrande by buying an overpriced code off eBay and whatever too. It's really, really not that far-fetched to want this effort to be acknowledged, and I'm sure more people would be able to sympathize with this situation if they didn't see any criticism of it as selfishness and entitlement, which in most cases it certainly is not.
Then again at the end of the day we're still all arguing about .jpg's, so what do I know.
Man learned to make fire, so one day, man could argue over small squares of color arranged in a certain pattern.
I feel like the "Pure Paladin" cards plus Wyrmrest Purifier are meant to be used in the very late game, wherein you've probably only have a handful of Neutrals left and you can turn them into last-ditch cards ala Arch-Villain Rafaam and Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron.
It's for people who want particular Legendaries in Gold: if you craft them first, you won't pull the regular version in your packs. You can't pull a regular Kronx Dragonhoof if you already have a Golden one, at least until you own all of the Legendaries. If you waited to craft until after you were done with your packs, you might accidentally pull the regular version of Kronx that you meant to craft in gold, which is a waste: that "slot" could have been filled by a different Legendary.
This strategy doesn't save you dust, because crafting in Gold is expensive. It's to maximize how many different Legendaries you end up pulling, if you plan to craft some of them in Gold.

It's because of Fireside Gathering, very probably.

For whatever reason I love C'Thun, so any excuse to bring him back is appreciated. Keep up the good work :)

No, should I ?

Dude... I feel like a kid before Christmas : I've not been that excited for a new set for a long time!! 13 more hours...
Best answers (preferably spells) to wide boards?
I added a copy of Explosive Trap but have yet to test it. I thought of adding one Flare against secrets but Im really only weak to polymorph and even then it's kind of easy to save a lynx till right before dropping Mechathun.
Master's Call on the other hand lets me choose and draw the right minion in a deck that's mostly spells- whether it is an Ursatron to drop on 4 or Halazzi, the Lynx with Arcane Fletcher in hand.
I might add a Flare still but last mage I faced got deleted with two secrets up, probably an Ice Block among them.

Very Nice! I would totally add Tentacled Menace to this :P

So much free Stuff...
Alright, who are these Guys and what have they done to Blizzard?!
But seriously, that's a lot of freebies for f2p players! These Quests aren't hard to complete so everyone should have a good start.
I'm also excited for the new shop. Wild support is always welcome!

In the meantime, get your fix of dragons and watch the new episode of Rick and Morty. You won't ever look at a dragon the same way again...

Please and thank you

Great we can buy wild packs with gold now - already did on my NA account (which hadn't even opened GVG or TGT).
Though wish adventure wings were still gold purchasable again - maybe one day :)
Good luck to all with those DoD packs!

Have fun everyone, and good luck with your pack openings ^^

Thanks for clarifying! Since in my case I don't mind much about golden card I guess I will wait and see what I pull from packs. Cheers
