Anti-Zul'jin synergy but surprisingly strong in quest hunter (which does have potential if played like an aggressive midrange deck instead of worrting about hitting the quest fast)
Surprisingly good once I realized it's great for late game aggro. Who cares about managing hand size when turn 9 you could start with either a huge 8/8 on board for face damage or 8-10 cards in hand?
If you think that he only farted then you are still young my sweet summerchild. What he did...had more...substance
Also...green/black?Really? Golgari??BOW DOWN TO YOUR GRIXIS OVERLORDS YOU PLEB!
Meh... The Golgari Swarm is by far one of the best things in MtG, and while I also appreciate guilds like House Dimir (Blue/Black) and the Izzet League (Red/Blue) from Ravnica, Grixis scum don't have any place in my hearth. XD XD XD
You are my dear friend and my brudda but.... THIS HUBRIS TOWARDS THE DRAGON GOD WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED!
THE GOD PHARAOH DEMANDS YOUR PUNISHMENT!
Well, I always wanted an epic dead, and there is nothing more epic than being killed by a dragon!!! Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Snow/Bolton) knows that perfectly, so this way I could fulfill his dream!!! :D :D :D
XD XD XD
I just have to do some changes to my profile and return to the forums as Lord Bolton... I'm going to miss my performance as Queen Mab, that's for sure... :'(
Back to the topic, I forgot to mention when I finished watching the trailer I was not only confused, but kinda disapppointed. The first thought that came to my mind was "Blizzard just ruined an amazing trailer with f...king farts and explosions, what the hell were they thinking?" Gladly, I was just really confused at the moment, which I realized a few seconds later... XD XD XD
As long as there are robbers,criminals and such out in the world, you can have as many snowflakes on these forums trying to stop them as many as you want.
"What happened to our standards?" What standards? Men were animals in the past (sorry for the exception), you can only protect her 100% of the time, if you are there with her.
I also understand the other side of the coin too, but why is it necessary to only have positive comments?
Pretty dang strong for me so far on ladder. The weapons pool is small, so it's super consistent. That's where the real value is. the minions and spells are good chances of being ok, but the weapon is why you run this in SoU meta.
Getting a free Desert Spear or Gladiator's Bow has won me multiple ladder matches already.
It doesn't seem like there is any deck that's too strong at the moment, but one of my biggest gripes with the initial impression is that the meta feels very rock paper scissors like. It could be that it's my deck specifically, since I've been playing a combo burn mage deck, but certain matchups are impossible to either win or lose.
Quest druid demolishes me, since my only way to deal with their board is frost Nova + doomsayer, and they'll usually be able to Starfall the doomsayer or kill it with Loti. I haven't won once against that deck.
While zoolock is almost impossible to lose against. They basically burn themselves for me with all the self damage mechanics and they rarely have any way to deal with frost Nova + doomsayer to clear their board. Quest shaman is similarly weak, since they don't put up enough pressure to kill me before I can burn them down.
Murloc paladin seems an impossible deck to beat against nearly any aggro deck when they play tip the scales on turn 4 or 5. At the same time, my aggro pirate rogue demolishes so many decks, hunters especially, since they can't do anything about all my damage to face.
This may just be the result of an early, unrefined meta. I just hope it doesn't end up being too much of a rock paper scissors meta, otherwise hardly anyone will enjoy it
FWIW, BoW has hard carried my last three games against a Bomb Warrior, Quest Rogue, and Quest Shaman. Obviously the smallest of small sample sizes, but I'm really digging what I'm seeing.
Since you are committing so much to the board, it's great to be able to do so without worrying as much about your hand size.
My only reaction is there is still way too many Conjuring+Cyclone mages. When building a deck right now the first question I ask myself is "Can this deck reliably deal with a board of Giants around turn 5/6?" If that is a no, I ask, "Can this reliably kill a mage before they create a board of Giants?". If that is a no, I won't play the deck in ranked. Until nerfs come in, Mage and Warrior will probably still dominate with Rogue not far behind.
My ladder experience (NA 10-5) has been almost exclusively these decks. However, I'm not upset, 2/3 of these decks don't feel oppressive and I've been able to enjoy myself even when losing. A few times I've played against the priest and they weren't running Inner Fire or Topsy Turvy, so they'd start winning but had no way to finish the match other than me Conceding which irritates me.
1) I've been playing against several varieties of Zoolock. All of them are very, very strong, but I don't think they're broken. It's never going away. It's going to always define the meta.
2) I don't think Quest Shaman is quite as OP as anticipated. It's very good, but playing with it or against it doesn't feel broken. Zoo can put a ton of pressure on it before it gets rolling.
3) I've been playing control singleton Mage and control singleton Hunter and having a blast. Reno, Brann, and Zephyrs absolutely carry these decks. Zephyrs is living up to the hype. It's ridiculously good. Reno is great against all these zoo decks. I think a version of each will be at least a tier-2 deck. Can't recommend crafting Zephyrs and playing around with him enough.
4) Here's my true knee-jerk opinion: Quest Paladin needs a nerf. I find it to be game-breaking on the same level as Jade Druid. Reborn minions are proving to be good, but not overpowered. However, the hero power in combination with Mechano-egg is game-breaking. The deck goes infinite with Mechano-eggs in the mid-game, and becomes impossible to beat. The original reason Paladin was given such a powerful deathrattle minion is because the class didn't have deathrattle synergies like Priest and Rogue. You would never give Paladin a card like Shadowy Figure, but the new hero power is essentially infinite Shadowy Figure. It's busted. The deck is also able to run lots of heal without an issue. It breaks control decks, and can easily survive aggro/zoo decks. Nerf the quest to hell.
Fucking Armor Druid....This is almost as cancerous as Naga Sea Witch with the Giants. WTH was Blizzard thinking allowing [Hearthstone Card (Line Cracker) Not Found] and BEEEES!!! to trigger off of themselves!?
I tried it on two accounts since I was "lucky" enough to open the quest on both. Still tinkering with it, but against more refined decks/players it can end up being too slow since you don't develop on turn one. I also tried a beast version to see if cycling faster with master's call would help, and it really didn't change anything. I did get the combo off a few times, but most wins were from the zoo beat down, not the combo.

Not great, but not awful

any resurrect or recruit deck is clamoring to slot this in
Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron
I opened two of these on launch day and was absolutely thrilled
Dinotamer Brann
Great on turn 7 vs warrior if you've pressured them, but it's highlander hunter so it'll struggle to be better than "eh"
Wild Bloodstinger
Hunter getting hand disruption cards is amazing. If combo ever shows up for real, I know what my hunter decks will run

Awesome card for OTKs and regular midrange plays alike. Extremely good 6-cost card for hunter
Hyena Alpha
fantastic synergy card

I think we're seeing highlander is again not that great without Reno. it's fine, but it's nothing like a 6-mana full heal.

A defensive spell that has good synergy with Mana Cyclone.
Next up, a Druid minion with Treat synergy.
