First game of the new expansion - me with Highlander Quest Paladin, them with Quest Druid. For the first 80% of the game I'm just treading water and fighting off defeat as they naturally complete their quest on turn 4 then start going to town on me. But I manage to hang in there until turn 9 when I drop Zephrys the Great into Flamestrike to stave off defeat. Still pretty rocky with a lot of back and forth until I complete my quest and then turn the tide: Turn 12 Siamat with Windfury and Rush, then a copy with new hero power to clear the board. Turn 13 Tirion Fordring, then a copy with HP to hold the line, and lastly Turn 14 0-mana Shirvallah, the Tiger plus Colossus of the Moon to pull out a win I had given up getting back on turn 6. Very nice start!
Does anyone know how to get multiple card packs from the shop screen using in-game gold? I've seen Kripp do it where he types in the amount he wants instead of having to go back and forth between the shop screen and pack opening screen one pack at a time. Thanks in advance.
60 packs (10 from gold, 50 pre-order) I got 3 legendaries from it. Then i completed the legendary quest and got another legendary on my last pack!
i unpacked both the Priest legendary & Priest Quest. And i unpacked the hunter Quest as well. The legendary i got from the legendary quest pack was armagedillo.
From the pre-order i got a golden Zephrys which I'm happy with, and the free quest was the mage one. Not bad!
Worst experience I have ever had in opening HS packs, although not that terrible in a grand scale
Got Corrupt the Waters and Octosari from 30 packs, but I got like 10-15 terrible packs [4 commons and 1 rare]. Very happy about the Shaman quest that I got. I got Activate the Obelisk as a free quest, which was okay too.
That's an above average opening. Why does that make it your worst experience ever
With nine new Quests, it seems that we now have a conundrum- which classes (in Wild) have the best results by combining their quests into a single deck?
Here are my thoughts, ranked from worst to best! Please note that a 5/5 is just okay (maybe Tier 4/3) because these are definitely memes.
Warrior- The only pair of quests with a distinct anti-synergy! Boo, hiss, 1/5
Warlock- While not anti-synergetic by effect, the Warlock quests have exactly opposite goals. I doubt there’s enough shuffle in the game to salvage a rapid-draw discardlock. Maybe I’m wrong, but a better endgame HP change would be Jaraxxus or Bloodreaver. 2/5
Rogue- Somewhat anti-synergetic by effect- you’ll end up with 4/4 legendaries with unchanged costs. Wise deck building could probably offset that, but either way the quests are cannibalizing each other. 2/5
Druid- There aren’t enough big minions with Choose One to make the intersection of these quests’ target cards very big. 3/5 (unless Blizzard changes the rules and lets us have 2 quests, in which case 5/5 because they profit off each other’s weaknesses well if they’re together)
Paladin- These quests don’t NOT work together, and since we’re in wild anyway, there are some decent non-stat buffs that you can apply and copy with the hero power. That said, both quests are a little bit “meh” on their own, and I don’t see that changing when combined. 4/5
Shaman- Not bad, but not great- a lot of murlocs have battlecry, and doubling their effects can do a lot- Corrupted Seer becomes Flamestrike, Coldligjt Oracle becomes Sprint, and in general murlocs turn into 7-cost basic spells on a stick ;^) But having to ration murlocs is never a good strategy. 4/5
Priest- This one is on the edge, but I think it’s doable. Play an aggro deathrattle deck, stabilize, and drop your second quest with hopes to finish it by offsetting late-game damage. It’s a control deck that’s really just three aggro decks in a trenchcoat, but it can still get into an R-rated movie. 5/5
Hunter- The first one that really excites me- I have had some success with Quest Hunter in the past and getting an endgame power by just chaining Raptors (and with Augmented Elekk/Feral Rage shenanigans, that can be 60+ raptors) is exciting. 5/5
Mage- The only one I expect to actually see. These quests were MADE to be chained together, both will see play (mark my words), and they WILL see play together. The new Hero Power feeds perfectly into warping time. 5/5
That’d be mtggoldfish.com for me. Daily updated meta list and daily articles and videos. But the thing I really miss is a Vicious Syndicate in depth type of meta analysis. With MTG I have to deduce what’s best against what, match-ups, meta trends, that kind of stuff.
Some youtubers produce some interesting content but it’s not the same as a good old written article.

dude, 2 legendaries in 30 packs is awesome! you should lower your expectations if you think this is awful.
