  • SoU - Golden Legendary Crafting

    I can't afford to craft golden legendaries, but if I ever had enough dust to do it, I'll craft the following in gold:

    Zephrys the Great

    Siamat

    Dark Pharaoh Tekahn

     

    I'd also love golden versions of these non-legendary cards:

    Bloodsworn Mercenary (best HS card art I've seen in a while)

    Overflow

    Riftcleaver

     

  • Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

    Quote From sebomatikus

    Why does every Shaman have lucky Evolves against me today?

    Game 1: Evolve into Bolf Rammshield -> no lethal anymore.

    Game 2: Evolve into 2 rush minions -> no lethal anymore.

    Game 3: Evolve into a mech, slap Zilliax on it -> no lethal anymore.

    Lol, that's insane luck.

  • Reborn interaction assumption needs confirmation.

    So what about this Resurrection interaction?

    Let's say I started playing a reborn minion. Then I wanted to resummon it.

    If I have one reborn minion that died twice in my graveyard (alone), will there be a chance to resummon a minion without reborn? Or does it completely ignore the token version of a reborn minion?

    EDIT: Just wanted to confirm DoubleSummon's words.

  • Starting an Arena and letting it expire after 2 losses

    Is there any possible strategy to maximise the profit? Is a 2-2 run better to be saved for the reset then a 7-2 for example? Both have Pros and cons... 

    Probably not worth the thought but how do you approach it? 

    I tried to mathematicly solve this but it‘s more complexe then i thought. Guessed winrate, average profit per win and stuff

  • Wild Reno Priest

    Quote From Stile

     If so, then Sir Finley of the Sands would have the most potential among the new highlander class cards.

     

    Again, it depends on the gameplan.

    If you go for Midrange, Dinotamer Brann is far superior to Finley, who can only provide some HP-based survival/delay, waiting for a better wincondition to be drawn (ie Combo/OTK).

    Ideally, one could even conceive an Aggro Highlander Paladin (considering Hunter, Rogue or Paladin upgrades), but in that role Baku is just immensely more reliable than Finley, especially considering the arsenal of game-warping synergies of Paladin with Dudes.

  • Wild Reno Priest

    Shaman and mage are the two big expectations of wild, other than a good number of trolls playing mill decks on opening day of the expansion.

    Slower shaman decks are prepared for Big Priest (and so might be murloc ones), and 9 out of 10 mages will be Un'Goro Quest, which puts any deck on the clock.

    Keep that in mind and good luck. I dusted Raza a long time ago for the full refund, but the idea of a 1-mana buff has its appeal.

     

    /I'm wondering if a Reno Big Spell Mage can exist, with Chef Nomi as the final card.

    //Big Priest will probably try to squeeze Colossus of the Moon in

  • Which Quest you'd hate to get

  • Wild Reno Priest

    Thanks to all for their feedback, and to RavenSun for the detailed analysis. I think I will go ahead with the deck, win rate be damned :)

    I'm also looking at Activate the Obelisk for an alternative to Shadowreaper Anduin's hero power. Might it improve Reno Priest's mid-game?

    The viability of Raza the Chained over Inkmaster Solia and Krul the Unshackled does lead me wonder to if we would be better off with highlander class cards that provided ongoing value rather than a one-time (and highly conditional) swing. If so, then Sir Finley of the Sands would have the most potential among the new highlander class cards.

     

  • Reborn interaction assumption needs confirmation.

    for Crystal Core; summoned minion by Reborn minion will probably be 4/1 and damaged without reborn which can be healed maximum to 4 or just a 4/4 copy without reborn.

    for High Priest Amet, The summoned minion by reborn always have same health with him without reborn.

    For Barnes, Jepetto Joybuzz and other cards like those; it will work like deathrattle minions. If it is 1/1 Colossus of the Moon, it will summon 10/1 damaged Colossus of the Moon without reborn.

    If it isn't stated on the card like Immortal Prelate, The minions which summoned by Reborn effect won't have buffs like Sword of Justice or Blessing of Kings. I mean; for example, If your [Hearthstone Card (Swords of Justice) Not Found] has 1 durability and you played a Bone Wraith, it will get +1/+1 from Sword of Justice and became 3/6 with Taunt and reborn and will break Sword of Justice. When it dies, it will summon a 2/1 Bone Wraith with Taunt and without reborn and buff. If Sword of Justice had 1 more durability, it would be 3/2 with taunt and without Reborn.

    But I really wonder Immortal Prelate interactions. Card holds any enchantments when it summoned with any effect. If a priest steals it from a Paladin and gives it Embalming Ritual, Will summoned minion by Immortal Prelate also have Reborn? That's the real question. If it will have, That will be an infinite Immortal Prelate on board.

  • Which Quest you'd hate to get

    Staff

    Probably Warrior and Warlock for me, since none of the decks that would include them interest me.

  • Everything You Need to Know About the Perfect Card, Zephrys the Great

    Best most obvious day #1 craft in the History of hearthstone, and that includes some cards like Zilliax and Prince Keleseth (that actually took a little while to be a must include in Zoo and other decks)

    No trouble at all ;-)

  • Starting an Arena and letting it expire after 2 losses

    Staff

    There should be another arena reset despite the recent fuck up, since they will add Saviors of Uldum to the mix. Rotation happened August 1, but without SoU, so there should be another reset. It is a bit of a mystery due to the fuck up, but i believe there will be a proper reset tomorrow.

    So yes, start your arena run and either leave it be or play it until 2 losses to maximize your rewards. When the reset happens, your arena run will be retired and you will receive rewards for the current number of wins you got, plus an Arena Ticket to redeem as a free entry to play another arena run.

    So why we do this, you pay 150g > you get a free ticket (so you get your 150g back) > your net worth is the rewards from the retired run, which is a pack plus some gold/dust.

  • [Wild] Anti-Big Priest Shudderwock

    Swap a summoner for Leroy? 

  • Starting an Arena and letting it expire after 2 losses

    It would be weird to change their ticket policy without a proper announcement.

    They know the procedure of leaving one run open is established, it would be extremely rude and superficial on their customers to change that without any proper notification.

  • Starting an Arena and letting it expire after 2 losses

    I had a warning from hearthstone yesterday as "You have an active arena run and 4 days left to complete it." even though Arena has been rotated. I had that warning before so much times and whenever I got this warning, I always got ticket so maybe I am not who to confirm but I'm %100 sure we will get an arena ticket.

  • A Weekend of Wild Decks

    Love those articles! Give me a ton of ideas for Wild, anyway until expansion hit i felt in love with Barnes Sylvanas Hunter. Great matchup spread and stomps big P

  • Taking the Saviors of Uldum Arena by Sandstorm! Our Arena Highlights

    Good analysis, looking forward for a great arena experience!

  • Will this be totally busted?

    Maybe, but remember that the sample size is very low and the other decks are also kind of prototypes, quest shaman has a ton of variations and options while other decks are more restricted and the good variants of those are not found yet, that being said..

    bomb warrior was the best archtype in the previews closed beta pre-expansion so I am pretty sure quest shaman is at least tier 2 if not 1 the deck IS strong but other decks are as well.

    As far as I have seen they avoided playing ROS decks with a few new cards but mainly trying new decks altogheter

  • Will this be totally busted?

    Solid enough, but the Quest itself requires no fast Tempo/Token deck in the meta, in order to survive in the top tier - and that is unlikely.

    The only place where i can see Shaman being seriously OP is Wild, with Totemic Surge being given to Even Shaman, while the deck is already t1. I am not even sure the meta can properly adjust to such a powerlevel...

  • Reborn interaction assumption needs confirmation.

    According to the devs reborn is coded like divine shield every interaction with divine shield minions should have the same interaction as reborn.

    If you resummon a divine shield minion it gets divine shield, if you copy a divine shield minion it has divine shield as long as it had divine shield.

    If you cast Embalming Ritual or Psychopomp on a reborn minion or a minion that already has reborn NOTHING happens! (people were speculating about doubling the Embalming Ritual on leeroy THIS DOESN'T WORK).

     

    reborn is a reverse divine shield you kill a minion then you have to deal 1 damage, you can judge them as "deathrattle: summon a X/1(injured with original hp) copy of this minion without reborn" for value I mean for example Bone Wraith is a 4 mana 3/5 with "deathrattle: summon a 2/1 Bone Wraith without reborn"

     

     

  • Unable to logout & other "bugs" on internet explorer

    IE has been abandoned by their very developers (Microsoft), in favor of Edge.

    As harsh as this may sound (it is not, really), there is no reason to use and support IE in 2019.

  • Reborn interaction assumption needs confirmation.

    Staff

    Reborn minion is a fresh copy with 1 Health remaining, so it will reset any buff / debuffs the original had. If you have Crystal Core active, it will probably come back as a 4/4.

    And yes, SoJ or Amet should affect reborn minions, pretty much everything that interacts with summoning minions, not just playing them.

    I guess the only question is how will Crystal Core affect the outcomes. If the minion's stats are first changed to 4/4 and then the "debuff" to lower the health is applied, or if it is the other way around, or if first a minion is summoned, then buffed with SoJ and then changed to 4/4 stats (dont think this will be the case, but who knows).
