I don't know what server you guys queue into where you only queue into control decks, but it's not the one i play in, i have faced nothing but rogues and mages for three days. Only playing aggro, all netdecked shit. Tell me what server you play on because i want to be there.

I really hope that the last expansion this year is blackrock mountain, people meme all the time that: "ItS ThE yEaR oF dRaGoN wHeRe ArE DuH dRaGoNs"

And i know that's just the theme and not the actually roadmap or promise of the expansions but i hope we get dragons.

You're paying for the adventure content, not just the rewards. If you just want packs then just buy packs.

I'll do my best. Any particular characters or groups you would like to learn about?

As someone else never played WOW I really enjoyed this.  If you can write about lore related to other characters that are both in hearthstone and wow that be fine with me.

Now your deck is looking more and more like the Whizbang highlander recipe plus Undatakah.  ;-)  I play that sometimes; it actually can be surprisingly effective; only has a 47% win rate on HsReplay, though.

For the sake of completeness, here are a few differences between that deck and this which you might want to consider:

+Aldor Peacekeeper

+Mind Control Tech

+Khartut Defender

+A NEW CHALLENGER…

+Siamat

+Dragonmaw Scorcher

+Tirion Fordring

+Glowstone Technician

+Countess Ashmore

-Hammer of Wrath

-Novice Engineer

-Chief Inspector

-Rabble Bouncer

-Nozari

-Rotten Applebaum

(and of course -your Undatakah package which I assume you want to keep)

Please note that these are just the differences I see; I can't really say they're improvements.  For example, Scorcher seems really meh on paper, but in practice I've had a couple of games when its been a clutch tempo play they also cleans up lackeys / reborns / Sn1P-Sn4P / etc.  MCT sounds great on paper, but most of the time I just tempo that out for a 3/3 body.  Also I'm not sure how any of this would effect your Undatakah package--for example, I think Khartut is overall superior to Applebaum, but then you're either holding off on any other deathrattles until you play prelate + undatakah once or you're rolling the dice.  Which maybe is OK?

Or conversely, if you want to play into the UT package harder: maybe you want to add in Crystology + 1 Bronze Gatekeeper to help draw out the prelate more consistently, and maybe 1-2 Annoy-o-Module and maybe even a Kangor's Endless Army to help stall out the game until you find your full combo?

Whatever you do: best of luck.  I love it when people try to homebrew off-meta decks.

 

I actually tried out a lot of these cards with varying results aldor most of the time is pretty disheartening when you're playing against mages with conjurer's calling and rogues with shadowstep 80% of the time even in casual mode, khartut defender is good, but i've literally lost games by only having the 3 heal from it's deathrattle instead of the 4 of applebaum which is also cheaper and has better stats on the turn it's played on(not counting the reborn), that and a 5 mana minion is better against the sap class than a 6 mana one IMO, Siamat i think is a massive meme and 100% overrated, if you think the card is good i won't argue too hard against you, but i'm not crafting it. ashmore i considered for draw, but i didn't want to craft something just for a meme deck tyrion is a card that conflicts with the combo and since you need the AOE or the heal as often as possible i ruled it out. might try glowstone technician didn't think about that one, but i feel it would be too inconsistent in a highlander deck, maybe if i go full control and kick out the highlander garbage. dragonmaw scorcher i also considered instead of subdue just like aldor, but i figured if you are waiting until turn 5 to play an aoe against lackey shit you're already dead, chief inspector i admit is a bad card in this deck, but i don't like secrets so if you want to kick it out i agree but i'm keeping it. rabble bouncer is VERY good against rogues that have full boards on turn 2 and 3, i'd play more than one if i wanted zephrys to actually work as intended in this deck(an extra board clear), nozari is a rare case where you wouldn't think it's good in any deck unless you've actually played it yourself, VERY often your overconfident opponent will leave you at 5 or less health and won't stop spamming emotes and then you play nozari and they shut right up, this is a VERY good card in a control deck in my opinion.

I have been tinkering with a non-highlander version of this deck that rushes to fatigue that i gutted a bazookadin deck i had already to make but it's not deadman's hand warrior, you will take fatigue with it and if you're playing against rogues 100% of the time and you're as unlucky as i am, you'll get the combo off perfectly but they'll just ignore it(even if you bait out all their saps beforehand) and play research project making you fatigue and die. Which has happened to me too many times to count.

So in essence none of these changes to cards even matter because the deck is just bad, there are no early board clears in paladin anymore with the nerf to equality(WHEN IT WAS PLAYED IN AN AGGRO DECK!!) so it's really dumb to play control paladin right now. But like i said i got to meme on some assholes playing aggro in casual mode with it and that's all hearthstone is right now, you struggling to have fun in a game where everyone is playing aggro...

Quote From TentacularMoth

i wonder if warlock being missing and it being rafaam's class could be related to the fact the last wing is still a secret?

Could be the Lazul betrayal people have been speculating on. Really do hope they do something cool like that, would love to see some more from the Old Gods

My point is not that archivist elesyana fits into the archtype but that if you want to prolong a game, you can already do that with that card instead of putting so much effort into shuffling cards with little gain.

And I don't think lake seer is any good either the support cards are underpowered and the reward is not that big I would fix it using the following buffs:

WindShear Mystic: costs 6 and the tokens have "battlecry: draw a minion"(to avoid overdrawing too much with Shudderwock), tokens are 3 mana though to make them harder to play. Stone Sentinel was a fair card which is probably better than this one and nobody played that card so yeah...

Elemental vortex: no overload and costs 0 or add "draw a card" to it. 1 mana AND overload for doing nothing?

Lake seer: 3/4 statline.

The frog token: 5/5 at least

Vas'no: costs 6 the effect is too narrow, and only works with those cards

you want to win the game the cards need to be able to cheat tempo with how slow they are..

I used zayle a total of 0 times since I got him.

I think the meta is so much better and more fun personally. 

Reno mage being gone is super healthy.  There shouldn't be a "LUL i drew pocket if you haven't killed me already i win". type of card as early as turn 5 (4 with coin/wild growth from zeph).  Really it's more like early pocket being gone being healthy.  Reno mage is still playable even though nobody plays it.  

Combo priest is still the complete nuts but extra arms nerf at least gives you a chance to not get locked out of the game on turn 2.  

Control warrior is still top tier strong but it's a lot more balanced now with boom coming on later and being harder to set up.  Boom being 9 matters in a lot of matchups.

Lots of new decks have entered the top of the meta.  Quest decks are actually viable now that pocket and Dr7 are gone because they have time to get rolling.  Mainly druid and shaman but some of the others are more playable too.  These decks are generally fun but not super busted, and they have weaknesses and counterplay.

Lots of other decks to chose from now, matchups don't feel as polarized.  Feels pretty good man.  

side not: i looked at hsreplay to get some reference of what other decks are floating around right now and the tier list is so jacked up when you're on all rank winrate.  So many bad decks are higher winrates than actual good decks.  lol at murloc pally and shaman being the only tier one decks.  

Nice, I already have over 2100 gold saved up so I can't wait!

I wish, could never spend enough to get that though

I've done that and gone through all my uldum legendaries

Just like last time, will only be playing the first wing myself.  Kinda over bought SoU packs with gold and need to start saving for next expac.  Besides the SoU packs from this come a bit late.

But a lot of people get so much fun from these, hope you guys have a blast :)

Quote From Fluxflashor

Honestly, this may be one of the best designed Hearthstone cards. A solid minion to help against early game aggression and it can be more consistent late game provided it doesn't die. If you're going to lose the game, this card may give you an extra turn, but it also isn't a way to completely turn the tides.

I really liked the design of this card too when it was revealed. Now a month into SoU I realize I still haven't seen it in play, not even through random card generation, once.

I really do hope we get something like that too, maybe Blizzard haven't spoiled it yet. We do get 2 card backs for completing on both Normal and Heroic, though. The information is in the battlenet shop page.

I so regret not getting this one. 

Hey Fluxflashor and site team,

I've been trying to track my Card Backs Collection, and with the outdated information on a lot of other sites, and the amount of card backs there are, I think Out of Cards would fall very nicely into a space for users to track things like Card Backs on their profiles, or in the Card Back section.

Cheers,

Hello all - yeah it's a long shot and Fireside Gatherings exist, but I'm curious if there are any Denver players out there who might want to meet up and play? I always enjoyed sitting across from my friends, laptop vs laptop, and having a drink and yelling at my bad hand, etc.... We've all moved on to our respective jobs across the country and playing online, in the confines of my home, isn't nearly as fun. 

Anyway, any takers? 

**nice proof reading on that title /sigh **

Not if you have about 65.000 dust like me.

No golden legendary like Zayle, Shadow Cloak this time as a reward?

So this means, compared with previous adventure, we get for the same price, 700 g x 4 wings = 2,800 g, we get 15 packs + 1 golden pack?

Does not seem the best deal to me...

Plus, that's the class of the League of EVIL's leader (and their arch-nemesis) Rafaam.
