I was just searching to see if this thread existed because I personally haven't seen many of them at all. And while I haven't been opening a ton of Classic packs lately, I had a few saved from past brawls after they said new cards were coming, plus a few more here and there from gold or quests.
I still haven't opened a single new Classic card from the recent patch. Not even the common Druid card, Gift of the Wild. In fact I still need a second copy of Call of the Void and that card's been out for a while now!
I've thought about crafting High Inquisitor Whitemane but I don't want to spend that much dust so close to an expansion, when she's not seeing much play right now anyway.
now you mention her.. she works really well with reborn cards, might be worth a try, I didn't open any new classic card yet either.. it's hard when the pool is of 200+ cards in classic.
Yep, I haven't gotten a single one of them. It's also true that my classic packs come from Brawls only so...
My favorite new card from Saviors of Uldum Ramkahen Wildtamer,a 3 mana 4/3 is such a strong statline, and when it generates a card that you have control it just has massive ramifications. Obviously copies cost reductions and buffs so yeah cool I know otks like that gives everyone the warm fuzzies. But you know what gives me the warm fuzzies? Duplicating the most powerul cards in my deck with a 3 mana 4/3, like the new alpha hyena. I curve a 4/3 into a 4 mana 7/7 in stats, then I do it again. What I just did is generate value and summon an enormous amount of stats, in secret hunter, the deck that has such a powerful midgame and early game that the deck remains competitive despite having a single card draw card and running spells like KC with a grand total of 4 beasts. With this new card secret hunter will be an entirely new beast, hopefully one we can copy many times.
10 wins is also my best, but that was only one time. I also don't play arena much. Kudos to you on your success. Even with the average winrates you mention, you must at least break even on rewards, right?
Average winrates?:D Those winrates are almost leaderboard worthy. Those are very much above average :) Thats why i said, he probably knows what hes doing, so he should just keep at it and he will be fine ;-
I wanted to open a thread like this: I'm happy to see that someone had the same idea. Just as other users did before me, I'l try to give my perspective about each quest, hoping to be as objective as possible.
Untapped Potential 3/5 - Yesterday's final stream really improved my opinion on this card. Team 5 gave us valid reasons to run this quest: Crystal Merchant supports your crippled early game by rewarding your unspent mana (kinda clunky though, since you could play her starting from turn 3); Worthy Expedition is a super flexible spell that will give you huge value (and will see play even in non quest decks); Oasis Surger after the completion is super good and, basically, every Choose One buff card gives you a solid board. Cons? for the first few turns you are at the mercy of your opponent: Murloc Shaman and Mech Hunter should annihilate you with 5 turns of little no to opposition. Moreover, this expansion brought a lot more board clear cards, so it may be difficult to recover your initial disadvantage. Will see play.
Unseal the Vault 3,5/5 - Although I don't like the card, it's undeniable that it's pretty strong: Unleash the Hounds agains a full board + HP is 21 damage, enough to kill most of your opponents. The quest requires to summon 20 minions, which is a lot easier than playing them. Also, stuff like Unleash the Hounds, Swarm of Locusts, Revenge of the Wild and so on will help a lot. To be noticed that it has remarkable anti-synergy with Zul'jin: you can't have two hero power at time, most of the cards you play with the quest would interfere with him and you wouldn't want to go for the value game. Will see play in an aggro/midrange swarm deck as a strong finisher.
Raid the Sky Temple 2/5 - one of the worst quests in my opinion. I think people overestimate it due to the fact that it reminds of Primordial Glyph, which was a hell of a card for mage. However, the Discover effect is a huge difference: with this quest, you give up your 1 damage hero power (which is one of the best in the whole game) for a discounted spell that may or may not help you. Moreover, Mana Cyclone does Ascendant Scroll's job way better, so why would you go for the worse alternative? May see some experimentation in Highlander Mage, but it seems kinda unreliable to me.
Making Mummies 2/5 - It would be really good if there were enough decent Reborn minions and enough valid targets for Emperor Wraps. However, I'm afraid it's not the case: yeah, getting a 2 mana 2/2 Mechano-Egg every turn is very solid, but if your opponent lets you do it you should probably win even without the quest. Kinda slow and win more, but I may be deadly wrong.
Activate the Obelisk 5/5 - I was really impressed by how easily Kibler was able to generate huge minions out of nowhere with Obelisk's Eye. It doesn't ask you to do anything different from what you usually do and gives you an upgraded hero power (from 2 to 3 healing and an upside if you target a minion). Team 5 has really pushed Midrange Priest and this is the card that will allow such archetype to exist.
Bazaar Burglary 5/5 - The reason is the same for Priest: the quest rewards you for doing something you would normally do. You don't even have to play those 4 cards, but just get them: this is huge, because you can spend your mana for tempo stuff and you're not bound to play (possibly) bad/high cost cards just to finish the quest. Ancient Blades is incredibly good and should push Hooked Scimitar away from the meta. Clever Disguise makes a simple goal even easier to achieve. Impressive.
Corrupt the Waters 4/5 - Brann Bronzebeard for 2 mana. Pretty easy to achieve with all the Lackey generator cards and supports the Battlecry direction the Devs have taken for Shaman a while ago. Just like with Hunter and Zul'jin, Hagatha the Witch won't be in the same deck, especially if you decide to run Shudderwock. Will surely see lots of play.
Supreme Archaeology 2,5/5 - The Lackey/Zoo package is really strong and you don't have enough reasons to play a Plot Twist deck right now: it should be a lot of fun, but a bit too unreliable. It's a shame cause it's one of my favorite quests. May become better in the future with more broken stuff to use.
Hack the System 2/5 - Let's start by saying that it's not one of the best quest released. Moreover, it comes in a moment when Warrior has one of the best buttons in the whole game. Even if you build a Midrange deck in order to make it work, you would always be tempted to slam in Boom in order to seal the game (just like people were doing a few months ago with Deathstalker Rexxar). 0% chance to see competitive play outside of the first weeks (at least until Boom is in Standard).
As Sinti mentioned, a little competition is typically a good thing, so that no one rests on their laurels. My preference is to be here, but I appreciate that both sites exist and push each other to work hard and innovate.
Also, we’ve got the better people over here, and that’s what really matters!
Even with such a great win rate, posting some videos here can help. It's generally easier for others to notice plays/turns that could have been handled differently.
I am sure as this site improves, the community will grow fast. I sometimes look over to HPWN and there is much less content like original Articles than it was before. For me there is no point in going back...
Yeah, more improvements on this site will inevitably make much more people to use Out of Cards as their default Hearthstone forum.

I really don't want neither site to die or be abandoned by the community, I'm fine with both existing at the same time. :) Also, with time, people will tend to compare both sites more and more, which can lead to very funny moments and some hilarious internet fights!!! ;)
That's on us it looks like. We never gave out the internal tracking achievement for "create an account" so that achievement wont trigger. We'll get to it, promise.

How was your success with the new classic cards?
Yep, I haven't gotten a single one of them. It's also true that my classic packs come from Brawls only so...
What got you into Wild?
So, do you like overpowered and super annoying decks that require no thinking at all? Seriously, bro? :/ Why??? (Honest question here)
Saviors of Uldum - 5 Pack Bundles Giveaway
The priest quest is pretty good. Hopefully it will get priest back.
Saviors of Uldum - 5 Pack Bundles Giveaway
My favourite card is Shadow of Death, I have always loved shuffle mechanics and this one promotes so many fun new combos.
Saviors of Uldum - 5 Pack Bundles Giveaway
Zephyrs the great 👍 man this card is going to change the meta big time.
What got you into Wild?
I've been playing Wild since Ungoro, because I missed my Reno decks and my Aviana-Kun-Malygos Druid that rotated out.

Can someone give me a run-down on the HearthPwn situation?
I fully agree!!! :D :D :D

quite hyped for this, I wanted to try a thief rogue for some time now

Thanks for considering the suggestion Sinti. I totally understand about the core features, and hope that the team can address this at some point.

Anka, the Buried , its time Rogue started countering Warriors.
Bomb Quest Warrior
Yeah I've been thinking of swapping him with Militia Commander, both seem like pretty strong midrange cards imo.
