Making Mummies looks really bad. Unless there is some cool unthought of yet combo, being forced to play about 10 understated minions in midrangy deathrattle deck is dodgy. Other than that... Hack the System + Fool's Bane is a funny Wild combo. Raid the Sky Temple is an interesting value generator, not good, but not bad either. Activate the Obelisk can probably enable some midrange tempo deck. Everything else seems fine.
Bazaar Burglary - Pretty easy to complete, powerful reward with all available Rogue's removal tools. In pure Thief Rogue Spectral Cutlass is still better, but I'm sure that this card will find its place in SoU meta.
Activate the Obelisk - Heal Zoo Priest? Or maybe just build a Taunt wall? I think that this Quest's reward is the most flexible one - if you want to just heal hero, this is an upgrade of basic hero power, if you want to bolster your defence give your Taunt minion +3/+6, if you want to gain advantage on board or straightforward go face, this may be a 3 damage burst or removal. Thanks to this card Injured Kvaldir and Injured Blademaster with their new friend - Injured Tol'vir may shine again.
Unseal the Vault - Although I love playing Hunter in all variations, I am a bit scary about this Quest's potential in Mech Hunter. With [Hearthstone Card (SN1P-SN3P) Not Found], Explodinator and Replicating Menace this deck may have now an explosive finish not relying on drawing [card[Metaltooth Reaper.
Raid the Sky Temple - It is a pity that we can't play two Quests at the same time, because Mage (and probably Hunter) would possibly play both in the same deck. This one might be implemented in Burn decks to find another burst damage, maybe (I doubt it) in Control as an additional value?
Supreme Archaeology - I will definitely try it when I will get it, but I miss too many precious Warlock's legendaries to make this work properly.
Hack the System - Personally I don't like Warrior as a class, maybe because of flashbacks of old Pirate Warrior. I appreciate encouraging players to try slower builds of Weapon synergy Warrior, but it doesn't convince me.
Making Mummies - The reward is really good (I love Reno N'Zoth decks), but since Reborn is expansion related keyword I am afraid that this Quest requires running at least 6 suboptimal cards, which will get worse over time. Besides Khartut Defender and Ancestral Guardian, maybe Bone Wraith I don't see any Reborn cards playable in slower Quest deck.
Is anyone planning on crafting a golden legendary before opening packs to ensure they get a golden copy of a legendary they really want?
Curious as to any good candidates for a golden craft for this set. For Rise of Shadows I crafted a golden Elysiana because anything that generates more golden cards is a win in my book lol.
I might try to target one or two legendaries to craft golden just looking to see if anyone else is of the same mindset.
I'm really excited about the major shake up this set should bring to the arena meta. That comes with a reasonable fear that Paladin will be horrible to play against with Spikeridged Steed coming back and the new Pharaoh's Blessing to double down on that horror.
Yesterday, I noticed one of your comment - Sherman1986's views on female streamers - was trending in the negative alley, and I almost replied back to you : ''Classic Sherman, taunting others and then wondering why the hell is everyone just downvoting instead of engaging in a constructive dialogue?'' - but I didn't, because some trolls are better left trolling alone. I'm not reducing you to only that nor am I saying that you are solely a troll and nothing else, but you have to admit that half of your inputs are not promoting any discussion either. I know you have a thick skin and that you are way over those positive/negative internet points, but still, there is room for improvement. Be the positivity you want to see :)
On a related note, the downvote effect is a real thing. Just like some people are famous for being famous, some comments are being downvoted because they were already downvoted. Call it conformism, bandwagon, peer pressure or simply wanting to fit in or comfort your ego with others opinions. It has a lot to do with social desirability ; some opinions are obviously easier to endorse and rally around.
Ironic the op post has - 15(now - 16) downvotes :D
No problem dude, all this hate kinda makes me feel a bit like the God Emperor of Mankind now... My hero... The only one... The best of the best... The president of the United States of America... Mr. Donald Trump!!! And I love it!!! :D :D :D
Zephrys the Great is a card that intrigued me instantly when I saw it. This card is the main reason why I will be using Highlander decks in wild again.
I'm sort of with you Bersak. I am enjoying the content, but I don't like the streamers trying to find the optimal builds and synergies. I think maybe Blizzard could have taken more control over the deck building process in a manner similar to deck recipes. A lot of these streamers are playing decks too similar to each other that it starting to feel like the same old ladder process. I am sick of corrupt the waters already. There are not enough Highlander decks being played and it's boring to watch the deck building screens.
Honestly, I think this is fantastic. I was getting bored of HS and for the first time ever I was considering not preordering. But watching Firebat and Purple play the new cards yesterday convinced me to come back to the game and preorder yet again.
Play two, and you have 30 Damage ready to target face! On average this should be enough to kill your opponent.
It's 30 plus the damage you can make with your minions (as long as Vargoth doesn't kill you with a Pyroblast to your face). Even so, I really hope this combo doesn't stick due to being slow or unreliable because the current Quest Mage is disgusting enough to add more flavor to it.
Something about MtG I want to share with you, people.
Thank you!!! Yeah, I think it kinda is... It's not a super spectacular set, but it has some very interesting cards. :D
And of course, I want four copies of this motherf...ker:
XD XD XD

I kind of like Outer Carders. Outcardians? Or how about Cardashians?
And happy birthday Ramsay. I mean, Sherman.
Which Quest you'd hate to get

Which Quest you'd hate to get
Casual Wild player's perspective, from most wanted to least:
Corrupt the Waters - Finally I won't have to include Emperor Thaurissan or Murmuring Elemental to guarantee endless chain of Shudderwocks? Please, come to my collection, my Da Undatakah, Majordomo Executus, C'Thun and Yogg-Saron, Hope's End await you!
Bazaar Burglary - Pretty easy to complete, powerful reward with all available Rogue's removal tools. In pure Thief Rogue Spectral Cutlass is still better, but I'm sure that this card will find its place in SoU meta.

Thanks to this card Injured Kvaldir and Injured Blademaster with their new friend - Injured Tol'vir may shine again.
Untapped Potential - I'm glad that I didn't decide to craft Fandral Staghelm. Quite useful card in slow Druid builds.
Unseal the Vault - Although I love playing Hunter in all variations, I am a bit scary about this Quest's potential in Mech Hunter. With [Hearthstone Card (SN1P-SN3P) Not Found], Explodinator and Replicating Menace this deck may have now an explosive finish not relying on drawing [card[Metaltooth Reaper.

I'm excited! Are you?

Oof, I saw this one in a recent Trump vid. And although the deck looks subpar, I think a meme of actually winning with Void contract is worth it)

That would make the forum feel much more alive, my dear friend. ;)
