Exactly. With the exception of Brann Bronzebeard and Harrison Jones, who who were there before HS.

I go for #1.

I can't be bothered with manual disenchant just jn case of nerf. It's also pretty unlikely to own a golden that will be nerfed.

Quote From RavenSunHS

Fun is granted.

Effectiveness in terms of winrate is not (yet).

Do consider that Zephrys the Great CAN turn the game in your favor, but only if you find the perfect moment and context for playing him.

If you fail at that, Zephrys can solve current turn, or provide value for next one, yet without necessarily giving you a thorough advantage for the game.

So, overall i believe Highlanders deck will be around t3 in the meta reports, as soon as the meta is refined (possibly with the exception of high ranks where good players dwell), but an expert player could still be able to carry one of those decks on top ranks.

Exactly this!

It´s lots of fun but the winrate is not the best right now. 

And the thing about Zephrys is that you have to play him smart ! Zephrys can change a whole game if you play him at the right time. I also think that RavenSunHS is also right that a good player can also get a Highlander Deck like Highlander Mage into the top ranks. Not easy but doable.

Well i usualy only disenchant something if i want a specific right now and do not want to wait :) 

If this happens i do these things:

- Look at my cards and see if i have cards i never liked/wanted and dust copies

- Dust cards i think will not see play now or the near future

- Dust golden copies of cards i have normal 

- Dusting epics or legendarys - This is only a last resort and i only do this if i have a "crap legendary" or epic card i never use :)

PS: one should also keep in mind that you play Highlander BECAUSE you want to use Zephrys the Great. Singleton archetype without Highlander cards bears no particular advantage or fun.

I hold on to everything, in case there are any nerfs or other changes to cards. I only disenchant when I need the dust, focusing on goldens first.

Quote From GerritDeMan

Option 1 and 2 are a bit unclear to me, what do you mean by 'examples'?

Anyway, I disenchant cards that I think are very unlikely to get nerfed. I like to keep golden cards but I'm also not afraid to disenchant them if I really need the dust, especially if I'm not impressed by the animation.

Oh I am sorry. Translation mistake...corrected it. I meant 2 copies of the same card. 

To answer your three questions in short:

-Yes

-Yes

-Unsure 

ViciousSyndicate will be releasing a meta report this thursday which should give us some more insight on what decks are good and which ones aren't.

Highlander mage should definitely be a viable ladder option though. Probably not the best, but good enough. 

Zephrys the Great is a -great- card that boosts highlander decks by a lot. If you want to play these decks, he's a must-craft.

Highlander hunter seems to be the strongest highlander deck in standard right now, though.

Edit: forgot to say that I (almost) never disenchant cards if I don't have two copies of it (or one for legendaries).

Hey guys,

I am interested in how do you all handle disentchanting cards. For me there are some options:

1. if there are more than 2 copies of the same card --> disentchant even the golden ones
2. same like Option 1 with saving the golden ones
3. if you need to craft cards disentchant several hand picked cards so you can effort it (keep the rest and hope for dust refund after nerfs)

Whats your fav option or is there any you would like to add?

Cheers

Hi there guys. So, the meta is slowly forming and I want to gather your guys opinion on the highlander Mage deck (especially appreciate if you played it).

The question I want to know:

• Is it viable in ladder?
• Is it fun to play?
• Is it worth crafting?

Specifically this one, because the highlander mage is butt ton of dust and feels risky. Right now Mage archetypes is third winrate Mage(53.71), after Control mage(55.25) and Big spell(54.69), so my question is mainly about Reno the Relicologist and Zephrys the Great.

Do you feel this cards could carry the archetype? Do they bring unique fun experience? Maybe you got some other opinions? Would really appreciate your opinions =3

I watched the vid before seeing this post. (Still happy to see someone mention it) It was very educational and helped me at least understand some of the mechanics better. Zephrys the Great might be one of the more/most skill taking cards, as you need to manipulate him into giving you the card your looking for, or you need to understand the combo Zephrys tries to give you, as Zephrys often actually outsmarts the player by giving stuff they didn't even think about. Such a cool card and definatly my favorite card in the game so far! Altho when i play zephrys the perfect card is most often Tirion Fordring

Tirion is a big value card it's the best one in classic for sure, paladin decks in early hs always ran him and he was always a bomb to play and game winning so yeah if you are low on deck size he will offer you Tirion.

Reno/Highlander/Singleton Quest mage is so much fun! easely the most fun deck archetype of the expansion. It's fun to play and shreds Control Warriors! Most fun i have had in a long time! (Last time i had this much fun was tesspionage in Boomsday Project Expansion, back when it was still a more control focused meta)

I have also been playing some Quest Hunter and Quest Priest, Hunter is just plain trash i.m.o, but Priest is decent. I feel like the Control Res Quest Priest might be the stronger version tho. (Not complaining, rather another Control Deck for more diversity, than just another aggro deck.)

I unfortunatly do not have a rogue quest yet, but i might craft it after like a week, once the meta has settled. (If it is still good, but i think it will be good)

Also Highkeeper RA Rogue is a BLAST!

Quote From Janusi

Yeah, that could work. Overflow would give you health and card draw to get that combo assembled.

Could probably make it a random win condition in a quest deck to give more flexibility as well.

Watched the video.. Tbh he didn't say anything new I knew my outs anyway.

Summons a card from your hand.

Quest Paladin is so much more consistent and versatile than I thought.

It probably benefits a lot from people not running very tempo/aggro oriented lists, but overall it feels like a much better version of Mech Pally

Yeah, that could work. Overflow would give you health and card draw to get that combo assembled.

I've played some quest priest, murloc shaman, murloc paladin, and quest shaman. Only a few games of each. They are all pretty fun :)

Fuck mage, fuck warrior, fuck what this xpac is turning the meta into. I think I might need a break from this game for a while. Every deck is pissing me off, and I’m not enjoying this meta at all. 

Fuck streamers and everyone who copies their decks.

I saw this as a druid deck rather than a rouge one. 

Dreampetal florist to make them free and then gloopspreader to copy them and then faceless manipulator to copy more, or Zola maybe.

Either way it's meme as fuck but druid could be slow enough to make it work.
