-The first is the weapon hold, is it described anywhere in WoW or is it merely cosmetic for HS. Also, if Gul'dan is holding a weapon, wouldn't Warlock be fit to have weapon cards?
-The second question, who/what is the skull-faced clear being/statue on the back right of the picture?
I wonder if they'll be adding alternate portraits also for the non-basic heroes, like Maiev. The 1000 win reward worked for all (gold border around the portrait) but this will require redrawing a lot of characters so not sure if they'd do it.
As I see it, it works in a similar way to Subject 9 in Highlander Hunter. It's a mid to late game card that draws all your early game, so that a) your hand gets refilled and b) your deck is thinned out, making your future top-decks more useful. Admittedly, sometimes by the time you play it you've already drawn all your early game, but at the very least it's a 7:7 body that needs to be removed, and can potentially be used to divine spirit / inner fire your way to victory.
Not hating on your brag post, not dusting it was a good choice it is a great card. I am just questioning it's place in this deck.
I have been playing the deck since yesterday and have found it to be waaay too late in the game to require it. I did modify some cards from the core deck and now can win or make people concede by turn 7/8 pretty frequently.
More cosmetics are always welcome: anything Team5 will implement is indeed a good news. They also could have done this so long ago that I can just hope that the new potrait are a first step towards something bigger.
HS is so poor in terms of variety, rewards and cosmetics option that it almost hurt considering how successfull the game is.
To be fair, Warloc would really appreciate having any other option than Zoo, and Even paladin lost most of its powerful cards with the rotation anyways.
Honestly I hope they do the same event next expansion and bring backk Genn and Baku just so we could actually see how they would have impacted the meta if they never rotated at all.
Yeah that's a fair point. Warlock is in dire need of a new archetype.
It's just that I still have PTSD from Genn and Baku in both standard and wild which is why I don't ever want to see them in standard again.
Hi all. Feeling quite pleased with myself this month, as I resisted the urge to dust Bwonsamdi, the Dead when I was given her/him/it as my free legendary at the launch of Rastakhan's Rumble. Over the last few weeks, the card has gone from dumpster tier to a core card in combo priest, arguably the best deck in the game atm.
Does anyone else have any smug tales of duff cards they've resisted the urge to dust, only for them to become extremely useful long after their release? Or are there cards sitting in your collection right now, which you're hoping will one day prove their worth? I'm still holding out for that Harbinger Celestia meta...
I can now safely say that [Hearthstone Card (Jr. Navigator) Not Found] is completely busted, and a boatload of fun. Thanks to the Hearthstone I was able to add six additional copies of it to my deck. Killed the Plague Lord of Death with one that was buffed up to a 480/480 by the good ol' Divine Spirit + Inner Fire combo. Killed the seventh boss (Chu) while having about 200 armor thanks to Earthen Scales. I also had Rocket Backpacks so by combining Zerek, Master Cloner and spells from Jr. Navigators I could basically remove everything.
If the Jr. Navigator is already this strong then the Sr. Navigator is guaranteed to be completely insane.
You're looking to curve out, but the best possible start is to have any damaged unit at the end of turn 2 (or an Inner Rage in hand), and then play Bloodsworn Mercenary on turn 3. Holy cow, that guy. He's insane.
Turn 3: Bloodsworn Mercenary on the Wasp. Turns out that if you can have a 3/3 and two 9/5's on turn 3, that's pretty good. You can see it at the link below (same one I edited into the main post above):
Aggro warrior is certainly competitive. Is it fun to play?
Thinking about crafting the 4x uldum warrior legendaries I would need for the deck. I don't have grom, but I hear he's a bit of a flex spot and would probably use instead.
This is how I got to rank 5 this month (why this late? I've mostly been playing Eternal this month, not Hearthstone.) Aggro warrior took me from Rank 9 to Rank 5 with 14 wins and 3 losses.
Oh, and I also have a recording of what may be the best possible start for this deck (I ended turn 3 with a 3/3, a 9/5, and a 9/2 on the board, with opponent at 12 health): https://hsreplay.net/replay/g3iCTuvc5qQRv4s2CrVe83
if genn and baku come back they will ruin the entire even
I thought about this, and I don't think they actually would.
Realistically, there aren't many classes that would even benefirt from an upgraded hero power that much.
Outside of Warrior and Rogue I don't see any class making good use out of Genn or Baku (at least when compared to what they currently have)
Those cockroaches always find a way. Even warlock still has Twilight Drake, Mountain Giant and some new self-harm cards.
Even paladin has always been a good deck in standard too.
I'm surprised they didn't add Yogg-Saron, Hope's End though, if those leaks turn out to be true.

Any replacements for Soularium?
Gul'dan/Warlock full art questions
Hi everyone,
in the following image (full Warlock art)
https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/hearthstone_gamepedia/thumb/2/2f/Gul%27dan_full.jpg/720px-Gul%27dan_full.jpg?version=60b1a28564bd4baf1ac65b0708e5aeff
there are 2 things I would thank someone to explain.
-The first is the weapon hold, is it described anywhere in WoW or is it merely cosmetic for HS. Also, if Gul'dan is holding a weapon, wouldn't Warlock be fit to have weapon cards?
-The second question, who/what is the skull-faced clear being/statue on the back right of the picture?
Thanks in advance!
Event: 23 Cards Moving from Wild to Standard (Ragnaros & N'Zoth Included), 1000 Win Portraits, More Events

Grif's Thoughts on Progression
I don't know if you're familiar with Magic the Gathering, so I'll give you an example.
They are exactly the same card, function in the same way, just bigger art.
The Dragonlander 2.0
There was no pun, he's gathering only real dust
Event: 23 Cards Moving from Wild to Standard (Ragnaros & N'Zoth Included), 1000 Win Portraits, More Events
I hope that at some point they will add "crafted" to the search terms, to view the cards that you have spent dust to craft!
Grif's Thoughts on Progression
I don't get what you meant for the Full Art section?
What do you mean by "full art cards"?

Right ok I see, thanks for explaining that.
I still don't think he is worth it based on that but this is just me.
There are better decks than Combo Priest ...
Thanks mate, will probably give it a go!

No problem mate :)

Plus, just look at him, he's a total badass!

Can you explain why it's a core card?

Were the 23 Wild Cards Coming to Standard for an Event Leaked?
In hell, I hope.

Hey awesome! I'm glad it's working for you.

It's VERY good. And I had a ton of fun. This is the list I used for the entire 17 games: https://hsreplay.net/decks/1TSwmspqaJ2qL85mNbqwhd/
You're looking to curve out, but the best possible start is to have any damaged unit at the end of turn 2 (or an Inner Rage in hand), and then play Bloodsworn Mercenary on turn 3. Holy cow, that guy. He's insane.
My best start was turn 1: Coin into Redband Wasp
Turn 2: Inner Rage and Rampage on the Wasp
Turn 3: Bloodsworn Mercenary on the Wasp. Turns out that if you can have a 3/3 and two 9/5's on turn 3, that's pretty good. You can see it at the link below (same one I edited into the main post above):
