I keep all my gold for expansions. Buying pre-order bundles plus whatever gold I have by the time it launches (usually 3-4k+) means I have all the cards that matter.
It hovers at around 50% win rate but over multiple versions so final version needs to be confirmed. Loved murdering a quest priest and beating a token druid at his own game. Against secret mage it's straight up a race.
-I don't like cult master; I often have a full board of tokens so it's almost an Octosari.. can't contain that much draw power.
- gonna try scav hyena and tundra rhino. They're beasts so they fit the theme Im going for which is "Rexxar's Horde of Beasts"
-The secrets are staying.. turn 5 subject 9 is too strong. I might try different secrets but secrets there will be.
I pre-ordered it. I dislike buying stuff with real money, but i don't have enoegh recources. Also i'm primarely saving my resources to unlock more chapters for the One night in karazhan adventure. (Didn't know i had that advanture for the longest time, apparantly played chapter 1 and after that never bought any other chapter of it....)
(For those who don't know, if you BEAT chapter 1 of any of the old adventures, BEFORE they rotated out of standard, you can still play buy more chapters with gold, instead of real money.)
Wow, thank you for the prize - that's made my day! As a largely free-to-play player this also means I can save up some extra gold, which is always handy.
I was already looking forward to Tombs of Terror - even more so now!
Thanks again, and congrats to the other winners too.
No. Bought most of Dalaran with gold and hardly ever play it. Some of the gimmicks and new treasures were fun, but I'm just gonna save up for the next expansion. If i want to play that sort of gamemode I'll just do some dungeon runs. As far as i'm concerned, until some new gamemode comes out, there isn't any singleplayer HS content I care about.
I'll probably be buying this one with money for the first time in a long time for a solo adventure. Why? Simple reason: my kids (ages 4 and 6) love these solo adventure things.
Aggro wins or loses the game by turn 5 or 6. Most of these decks can only do that with god-like draw. These are mostly not aggro - they are mostlytempo or midrange.
Tombs of Terror has now been added, and will receive updates as we learn more about the mode.
Tombs of Terror
In the Tombs of Terror, you control Kara Shellen, allying wth the League of Explorer's. During her quest to stop the League of EVIL, she ended up falling under some corruption set out by Rafaam, however the corruption failed to manifest properly. Instead of turning her evil, it kept her good, but simply gave her much more aggressive means of attaining her goals. Due to this "half-corrupted" state she is now in, she is slightly more reckless, and also has some "dark" (though not necessarily evil) tactics to achieve (reflected by her use of Time Traveler and Warlock cards), and now balances and utilizes good and bad timelines to her benefit (which in gameplay is reflected by her first Hero Power, Staff of Chronos).
Instead of being corrupted from hero to villain, she was essentially corrupted from hero to anti-hero.
Completing all 4 main chapters will upgrade Sandmancer Adept into Sandmancer Expert.
You remember the Basic card, Sandmancer, right? Well, if you don't. Here it is:
I feel like the dungeon run style adventure had been a bit milked too much. They really should add grand innovations to the game mode, or create something new entierly. These all start to feel repetitive. Does anyone even remember the one with the loa totems?
Also, this adventure only gives packs back. No exclusive reward like Zayle, so unless you are convinced the solo content alone is worth the gold, don't buy it with gold.
I agree. Aggro has just become too powerful with this meta. It's now more of a contest of who can be the most aggressive. There are too many minion generating and summoning cards that can fill a board for control to really keep up with removal. Combo has almost no shot at all with all the aggro decks present. Kinda hate it because I always have preferred control.
The majority of highlander hunter cards are set. There's really only about 5 cards that you can swap around.
I'm a big advocate of viciousSyndicate and their meta reports. They recommend using below list as it is best suited for the current, more aggressive, meta:
I find them incredibly vulnerable to my typical Wild decks, because I appear to prefer decks that happen to include techs against Buffs (Devolve, Freezing Trap, Spellbreaker), but looking at those charts, the decks seems to be the new Meta Enemy. So I wanted to ask, how can this deck be so apparently consistent, given all the efficient techs that Wild can include against it, starting from the neutral and evergreen Spellbreaker himself?
Also, this deck uses no new cards from SoU, but I don't remember seeing many of them pre-SoU. What happened here? Secret Mage can't account for this alone.
It's popular because, much like mech hunter, it snowballs really early and really hard. It's great for picking up quick wins, which is best for climbing, too. Additionally, it's also pretty cheap.
The reason it hasn't seen any traction before is because wild is extremely slow to develop. It takes far longer in wild for a deck to catch on (unless it's extremely obvious it will be busted from day one, i.e. secret mage). I know it's climbing up on multiple tier lists, hence why it's probably gaining a lot more traction.
Since the majority of tech slots are currently being spent on secret hate, mech paladin doesn't have to worry about that either.

Looks good to me!

I am going to give it a go. Hopefully I enjoy it.

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't wait so long to bring it out, and if all the wings were playable without the drip feed.
You need packs at the start of a new expansion - much less so 1.5 - 2+ months after release.
That said, f2p here and miss the old adventures where you got all the cards. So will be skipping this and any others like this as I did the first one.
For anyone who really likes these, that's cool it's just not for me.
