The only hero, that will see play in standard. Druids doesn't have to build a highlander deck, in order to benefit from Elise the Enlightened. Instead, they will run a lot of draw and cycle their cards, until there are no duplicates left. Afterwards people can pull off all sorts of combos you can think of. The only thing hindering them would be managing to survive that long.
In wild Elise might be even more popular, because druids possess good stalling tools (spellstones, Poison Seeds, Spreading Plague) and can cycle faster thanks to UI.
I got golden priest (all time favorit) and hunter. I don’t know where the later came from, i probably played it consistantly over the years and made the final push with deathrattle hunter.
Druid, rogue and warrior are all around 450 wins, excited to get those done soon!
It‘s awesome that arena counts aswell now, will help a lot!
PS: my shaman got a recent boost of 50 wins! Grinded Wild 19 - Legend in 3 days with even shaman. Ranks 19-5 were a complete jok
Well the deck has been surprisingly successful for me, but it is still an off-meta deck, and i would suggest against crafting cards EXCLUSIVELY for it.
On the other hand, once you have Genn Greymane, you can build Even Shaman (top tier deck) for very cheap, Even Warlock with some extra, but also Even Rogue, and then also try any other Even deck that comes up to your mind, as i did here.
So yeah, if you already tried some Wild games, and you liked it, starting from Genn is a smart idea, cheap, effective, and fun.
It reminds me of Tyrantus for being a boring legendary and just an expensive pile of stats. In some cases it's going to be better than the druid card - it can take 4 hits before it finally dies - but this doesn't make it a good card. I'm not interested in either running it in my decks, nor opening it from packs.
Create a Fireside today...I can only play the brawls and friendly matches. I could unpack my cards during the Fireside gathering of the last expansion.
I'm interested to see if it has an application in wild. When you play discard warlock, its pretty easy to cycle your deck with Malchezaar's Imp and Cataclysm to the point where you will accidentally burn through 8 or more cards in a turn. Without Soulwarden you end up with too few cards to finish your opponent.
In standard I usually use an Augmented Elekk before Plot Twist to duplicate the hand while refreshing it. It's complicated but defeats fatigue decks easy. It's basically Dead Man's Hand but for lock. I think this quest might prove to be a little easy and have some surprising synergies with out current warlock cards.
Yeah, those are good ideas for sure. I doubt this list is optimized, but it is probably on the right track. I almost included Barista Lynchen, but I'm not sure about her. Very likely she would also be good, with all the battlecries.
Yeah that could work although maybe too slow? Bloodmage thalnos might be ok to include with the two spells +card draw
I've got a couple thousand wins on priest and druid now.
I couldn't really care less about golden heroes so I have less than 500 on all other classes but this latest meta was super "helpful" in that I'm forced to play them because my preferred ones are dumpster tier or a snoozefest :(
Just had a Reno big mage vs Big priest game. Did really good, rolled mass poly on 10 mana kazakus spell and single poly on 5 mana kazakus spell, was ahead in fatigue game, felt great. Meanwhile he played as a true Big priest gamer, used potion of madness on my mad scientist just to delay my ice block, entombed my sludge belcher, etc.
So. This piece of a bastard played 2x Thoughtsteal (main deck, btw, not even discovered), stole my Jaina, played it before me, and when I got the board and he was 2 cards deeper than me in fatigue... He played N'zoth, summonong 4x obsidian statues. Like holy shit, how is this even legal? Its not even a Barnes problem, Big priest just have too fucking much mana cheat cards for amount of value they provide. The only saving grace is adequate human cant play this deck without falling asleep, but even piloted by mentally challenged monkey it can still roll like half of the times. I just want this whole archetype to get Warsong commandered to oblivion, right where it belongs.
Standard singleton decks still seems kinda weak, but it is anyhow thoughtful of them to refresh the wild-meta as well ; wild singleton card's pool just got way better this expansion and I do like it alot.

Aren't the Fireside Gatherings supposed to let us unpack the SOU cards?
Announcement suggested 10am PT Friday through 10am Monday.

I think you're a little early, although I don't know exactly when the pre-release part starts.

The only neutral healing in this set. Control Warlock is going to have a rough time next expansion.

The timing with that Year of the Raven card back is rather weird. It would've been better suited for March or April as that's when the year rotated.

Zephrys the Great. If card options are really good this will be the best card of the expansion.
