But all legendaries will be demons? It seems so strange.... There isn't a demon hunter or something like that in the lore?
Do you want this to be a evil only expansion, like Rise of Shadows, or a double team like Witchwood?
Some classes will be themed on fighting against the legion, yet they will still be led by legendary demons. Paladin will has the redeemed dreadlord Lothraxion and Hunter will have the iconic Demon Hunter himself, Illidan. Still trying to find the right themes for Hunter, as well as Priest, who I think might be also in this 'traitor demons fighting the Legion' category.
And there will be legendaries that are not demon minions. I think there will be a mix of legendary spells and weapons in some classes, along with non-demon minions. And some Neutral legendaries won't be demons.
I can't see how Quest Shaman can NOT be refined enough as to reach top tier.
It's not even necessary to make it a Lackey deck. Murloc would also fit. Or even a Midrange list with Hagatha. The Quest does not need to be completed ASAP, just soon enough. And 6 is so low...
Losing turn-1 cannot be an issue in a class with so many tools and comebacks in their arsenal.
Surely only few Quests will survive the meta, but it is too early to call all of them a failure.
A little something I was wondering about when going through the deck list, wouldn't it make sense to have Vulpera Scoundrel in this one? Just curious about your thoughts on her
The Burning Legion has returned! The Dark Portal has opened and once again the forces of darkness seek to conquer the world. My idea for this set started by wanting to create a legendary demon for each class and expanded from there. Warlock has always had the most demon synergy, but now the other 8 classes will have their iconic mechanics twisted by the dark influence of the Void.
The set is nearly complete, only missing a few neutral commons, rares and epics. I appreciate feedback on this stuff.
New Keyword: Burning
Burning minions slowly destroy themselves, using their own bodies to fuel their fel magics and powers. Weapons can also have the burning keyword, they lose durability instead of health.
Pre-Order Hero
A new hero skin for hunters, Illidan Stormrage!
Pre-Release Event:
The Dark Portal Opens!
A week before the release of Invasion of the Legion, all players receive a free legendary card, Medivh, the Accursed! Now all classes can tap into the twisting nether, drawing power at the cost of their life.
And now that the Dark Portal is open, Warlocks can begin summoning all sorts of new demons! All players also recieve two golden copies of the new common, Open the Dark Portal. Not only are they golden and the demons created golden, but starting with this release event, they will create new Demons from the set before it's full release!
Single Player Content:
Rain of Chaos!
Rain of Chaos is a new single player survival mode. Similar to Dungeon Run, Rain of Chaos puts a twist on the format by condensing it to a single match Survival Mode. The objective: last as many turns as you can against unending enemy bosses and their decks. Defeat a single Demon Boss and another immediately replaces it! For beating each Boss, discover new cards to shuffle into your deck.
As a reward for beating Rain of Chaos with all 9 classes, you get a free Legendary minion, Isaac the Acolyte. Similar to Whizbang the Wonderful, Issac will give you a random premade deck recipe, picked from 1 of 9 different demonic decks!

If you can survive and aren't facing something that can remove/polymorph big stuff fast (control shaman and warrior in particular) it's nice. But I've had more success with warrior, mage and shaman decks.
I have yet to see a High Priest Amet used though, as much fear and hoopla streamers made of it.
I am talking about the data OP totally ignored also taunt ress quest priest is at 50%+ win rate..
also both quest druid and quest shaman have like 100 different builds and different strategies.. I think the sub 50% winrate is cause of experimentation.. you can check that some lists have more than 3000 games and 55+ win rate so it's not over for the 2 most anticipated quests.
do you think [Hearthstone Card (Vareesa Windrunner) Not Found] is really worth it in this deck with only 4 damaging spells? wouldn't something else be better?

I received the golden Hunter Quest and because I hate aggro and hunter, I don't plan on using it.
How are Zephrys and Siamat working out? They're the big two on my want list that I'm curious about, but I'm holding back for a few more days, as Paladin Quest potential shenanigans have my curiosity.
Old wisdom of Kripp: A quest is a waste of where a 1-drop might go. Tempo sacrifice; giving up the board initially. I don't always subscribe to the tempo doctrines, but I see his point. That's the first strike on quests.
Quest Shaman is using lackeys to fuel it; they're hit and miss at times, and late game they're not pulling their weight. Its only saving grace is flexibility -- and the Shudderwock.
Quest Druid runs into Control Warrior or anything with multiple board clears -- DELETED, DEFEATED.
Quest Priest is no early game, all late game. Which is the situation priest is kinda stuck in already.
Quest Hunter is Druid and Priest quest issues with a bunch of pinpricks, instead of anything solid or clever. And it takes forever, but that's a good thing BECAUSE HEARTHSTONE DOESN'T NEED MORE HUNTERS RIGHT NOW.
Quest Rogue slammed into the wall that has the words ROGUE IS NOT A LONG-GAME CONTROL CLASS. Especially when Conjurer's Calling Mage and King Phaoris are running in the streets of the meta. I always seem to get a Quest Rogue paired against me when I play Big Paladin or Big Shaman, come to think of it, and it cheers me up. Rogues rue the day Vanish was exiled to wild.
Quest Warlock is for now only the playground of Brian Kibler, much like any warlock deck not running zoo. Which explains why every warlock I've run into is aggro garbage these days and anyone else trying a control or OTK warlock deck (including myself) often ends up with egg on their face.
I haven't run into a Quest Paladin, so I can't really comment. But I've heard good word of mouth after it was initially ridiculed for being underwhelming (didn't we learn anything from Malfurion the Pestilent looking tame compared to his fellow death knights?) and thematically not fitting a paladin? "Sir Uther of the Holy Knightly Order of Necromancy, at your command?"
Who needs Quest Mage when you got all these options and can end it with just a Conjurer's Calling Mountain Giant combo or discount King Phaoris?
Who needs Quest Warrior when you got Dr. Boom's hero card and established decks and good taunts taking up choice spots?
Don't. I've tried this deck. Every time I wanted to drop Phaoris, I was behind on board and had to just end up using my big spells to stay alive. A better replacement would probably be the new priest legendary High Priest Amet.
Same for me. Had two slots full and didn´t get a new one. Then I was doing all my quests and got a new one yesterday and also a second one today. So I give you advice to don´t let more than one slot for next day. Better do everyday all your quests. Hope they will fix it soon.
Hard to tell but i am shure beating warriors has a huge impact. I play paladin myself and warriors have a hard time.I just don´t play mechpala but it´s still good against control.
I absolutely adore Subject 9 in hunter, simply because it provides much-needed card draw as well as it synergizing absurdly well with Cloaked Huntress but aside from hunter, the card doesn't see much play.
On the contrary, Zilliax is an overall strong card, but he has always felt more of a shoo-in than an actual strong card in most wild decks. Sure he helps make the deck have more sustaining power, but I do not run him in most if any, of my wild lists since I find him to be lackluster. That being said, he is the type of card that can fit into pretty much anything so you would probably get more bang for your buck with him.

Strong decks from last meta are likely to be still strong now with little to no further investment.

EGGO-Mancer (Budget Friendly!)
i messed around with similiar version
for me Dark Pharaoh Tekahn was so underwhelming
i ended up cutting him EVIL Cable Rat and Sinister Deal for Ratcatcher Voidcaller Voidlord
i had no problem summoning voidlord with voidcaller so i was consistently hitting dinomancer with merchant
IMO this change make deck better vs aggro and u always win in value game with infinte dinomancer
A Weekend of Wild Decks
Hey, Frosty, thanks for including my deck here. Although I really appreciate the gesture, can you do me a small favour?
Kovachut has also continued his evil plotting with Madame Lazul and the older Priest Quest.
Madame Lazul won't be the one leading the plundering this time around. It will be Rafaam. So can you change that?
[edit] Thanks and sorry for bothering you.
