Reno Mage is looking good again after dropping away from the Meta recently. Reno Hunter looks good as well. I'll be trying both for sure.
I'm not sure how the Warlock Quest will work in a Singleton Deck but I'm trying it day one.
I'm actually really excited about this Expansion, more so than the last couple anyway. In fact, I haven't been this excited since the release of Un'Goro
I always had unconvinced opinions about the whole downvoting system, in any portion of the website, because it is sometimes used to bash people, while i give it's also useful, in average, to kinda educate the users to polite and constructive behavior.
But forcing people to post pretty much kills the whole purpose of a fast and anonymous reaction.
At that point, it's just better to remove the button.
If the system was used in a constructive way, I think it would be fine - the problem however, is that anonymity breeds negativity on the internet (usually).
An example of this can be seen when a new card is revealed and someone posts something innocuous like “I like this card.” And then gets a dozen downvotes because it wasn't the card that some other angrypeople wanted. There’s not much there in the way of constructive criticism and the poster can feel victimised just for liking a card - that sort of thing can drive users away out of fear that voicing anything positive will be mocked or hated, seemingly without reason.
I totally agree, which is why i am unconvinced of downvoting as a whole. There is an upside, but the downside is probably just as strong.
But forcing a comment feels clunky. Yes, it would prevent some toxicity, but probably it would also generate more spam, or simply drive away users because of clunkyness.
I will try highlander quest driud. But I'm not sure, I'd that's any good.
You will certainly need Kazakus (mage, warlock and priest) and Reno. The other cards are not that important. You can just go with powerful minions & spells.
I perfectly remember answering you this question on Hearthpwn some days ago, showing you two links to different articles on the site about this topic. WTF, dude??? :/

Ok, so, after facing so many big priests, I got depressed and just quit using control decks (in fact now, I only seek aggro/burn decks if playing ranked, which kind of sucks), although Reno decks are so fun to play with...
How do you guys plan to counter this cancer with these control decks? (I'm not trying to be offensive, just being pragmatic) I mean, just one or two polymorphs are not enough, drawing treachery+doomsayer is not always feasible, and Raza was nerfed...
Maybe the new Zephrys guy with a more midrang-ish deck would be possible?
Fair point. Probably just concede and move on. If have tried teching for Big Priest, but it's just not worth it. The match is still boring to play, it's still not a garanteed win and your deck is going to perform so much worse against other decks.
I don't think there is a card in the basic or classic set that Zephrys can pull out that does the job either.
I am also very excited and ready to try out a lot of new cards and decks. I will probably start with mage (since I am a big mage fan) but Priest legendary and the Druid quest also look very interesting. On ladder half of your games will probably still be against Bomb Warrior since that ruines all reno decks and there will always be ppl who try to spoil other ones fun instead of trying to have fun for themselves.
It's correct that the sets for next season are available at the moment, but I think that's a bug. I think that at the moment it's a mixup of both the sets from the current season and from the next season. It's unsure whether Blizzard will do anything about this situation though, since the rotation will happen on Tuesday, and they might just let this situation run it's cource until then. There has been no official response from Blizzard about this situation though, either on Twitter, the bug forums or Reddit, so it's all just speculation at the moment.

Its the first time in at least two years (i play since beta) that i feel hyped about a new expansion. Not only because of the high power level cards that are coming, but also because of the good design of them. And i have to admit that this is a general feeling I've been having since Year of the Raven begun. I really enjoyed RoS meta. Seems like developers try to work more and put more effort and attention on keeping the game fresh than the older T5 did (hofing cards, buffing cards, mid-expansion new cards etc). Overall, for me, hearthstone feels like its breathing again. I cant believe im saying this but i actually cant wait for Tuesday!
-Edit: I also needed to add that I love OOC. Beeing a member of Hearthpwn since always i was fed up with the salt and the meaningless threads everyday. Also OOC is much much better coded.
Well, yes? And no? This deck is not an OTK DK with Reno in it. It is a Reno deck with OTK win condition, if that makes sense.
Banana Buffoon + Emperor Thaurissan+ Auctionmaster Beardo combo with full draw deck is definitely faster and more reliable. However, when building a Reno Pally, I ve come to the conclusion that Uther OTK is just best wincon against Control, since deck bullies aggro anyway. And Combo... I guess you can throw in some Dirty Rats and such, I just never felt the need to do so.
Bone Wraith is really just there as an anti-aggro tool, whether he needs to be included or not kind of depends on the amount and power of aggro decks. Maybe it should be replaced by Oasis Surger. Zephrys the Great definitely clashes with double Moonfire and BEEEES!!!. Maybe that's another reason to cut out the second BEEEES!!!.
Hi guys, I have a question to experienced wild players - which Highlander deck do you expect to be the strongest with new cards incoming?
I have never played Wild before, but the re-introduction of the mechanic makes me really want to try them out. Problem is, I used to dust most of my collection when they rotated out. (I am just poor, don't blame me, and it was the easiest way to stay competitive in Standard. I didnt disenchent anything from last rotatiotn though, so I have almost full collection of ungoro, knights and kobolds).
So I am really looking for predictions, which Highlander deck do you think will be the best. Probably warlock or Mage and I guess Warlock. But if I could get some thoughts on the matter from some experienced Wild Players, that would be really appreciated since I want to spend my dust best possible way while crafting wild cards.

Imagin playing a golden DK and not getting a golden hero. Feels totally wrong imo. Hero cards are within the most amazing golden legendarys exactly for that reason. (I opened a golden Valeera, probably my favorit golden card
You would start the game as a non-golden hero anyways.
Golden Genn and Baku only affect your heropower and not the portrait so you‘re still not all golden.
Still, a golden HP should be an achievement, not something you "buy".

I'm pretty hyped actually. Looking forward to abusing the Linecracker BEEEES!!! combo in Singleton Druid along with some Supreme Archaeology shenanigans.
Hoping to get a complete collection from 250 packs without spending any of my saved Dust.

At that point, no downvoting is is best solution.

[Wild] Reno OTK Pally ( Ft. Nozdormu the Timeless )
Ah, i see the point, yes. OTK as an option, but the deck is focused against Aggro, it makes sense.
Well, even better, since i do not own Beardo haha!

Golden Heropower
If you have a golden class, you should always have a golden HP no matter if the card that interact with it is golden or not.
Sadly it doesn't work this way, so if you wanna keep a golden HP you need to actually play a golden card.

Lol .. I'm not really into the quests but I saw some fun cards to try and build around, even among the neutrals.
Also the new Brann intro is gorgeous - the epic quote, the Whips, the Krush !
