I mean, the flipside to this is, if your laptop can't handle accessing a text document, copying a string and then creating a new deck in HS you probably have an issue with your laptop? I've never had any issues with creating a deck from a code in seconds flat, even on my phone. If it's taking you the length of time it takes to play 2 games (20-30 minutes vs Warriors...) then you really really need to think about upgrading, and that's probably significantly easier than changing the whole client.
For that matter, it might be a good idea to track how often you actually play all of the decks that you have, and for how many games each time. You may find that there are ones you basically never want to play, that there are others you often do, and that you could easily actually get by with 18 if you prioritised them properly, or you may find that you want to play 20 or 30 completely unique decks regularly. If you keep a notebook and track it over a period of time it would give you good data to post (probably more effective in the playhearthstone.com suggestions forum, but here for interest and discussion too) and avoid the replies questioning whether you, or anyone else, really needs 19+ deckslots (ahem, looking at myself!).
Personally I find myself playing maybe up to 5 semi-regularly, and have a few I keep handy for some of the quests like playing low or high cost cards, or class cards so am usually under 9 decks, and never anywhere near 18, but on the other hand I'm also not a huge experimenter because I don't have anywhere near the time nor patience, and if I cull a deck I like I'll save the string and hardly ever find myself wanting to dig an old one out. But that's just me.
I just wanted to check whether this is completely useless or I'm missing something. Could work with Shaman Spellstones but 1) it's not even enough damage for an OTK and 2) it requires Thaurissan. Resurrect Priest maybe? Meat Wagon? It seems interesting though if any new cards give it support outside combo decks.
Yes, you could otk with this: maxed spellstone+drakkari enchanter
26 mins - my problem is that I cant prevent myself from bming the ai by generating more spells and minions after I have lethal set up lol. Ive only played three or four times this week though, mainly to complete quests as ive taken a break from ladder for a bit. Last week my pb was 19 mins.
The potential of the card seems weak, both for Standard and Wild (since the reward is pretty weak), but I like that finally they're trying to print something innovative that can open to new playstyle and mechanics.
My first thought was some kind of cycle/ tog rogue, but im not innovative enough to come up with a golden bullet to save the card (at a competitive level, at least). Even in an ideal scenario where you somehow manage to shuffle multiple copies into an empty deck and draw them with two wondrous wands it isn't a guaranteed kill. This kind of deck is probably playing walk the planks and other removal, and unless you are extremely fortunate its likely that youll have used most of it just trying to stay alive. Of course, your opponent will still have to remove them, but if you are in a position to set up the combo its likely that they are a control deck with board clears. But im strangely pleased that blizz printed this card. Anything that provides meme potential is always welcome, and its better than another vanilla statted throwaway minion that people instantly forget until they open 10 in packs. Hopefully someone will come up with a silly combo that we can play at rank floors.
Got to 19 minutes.. heard some people got 11 minutes the APM is real.
Of course with dr. boom and hand of rafaam
I find that hard to believe, even if you are the best HS player, the best fast reader and have the quickest hands in the world, the time between the games sill on itself take several minutes and then the bosses take time playing out their turns, and 8 bosses, that will stack up. And if you are using Hand of Rafaam "tactic", the animations will slow it down too. You would have to be winning like on T3 vs every boss and maybe even that wont make 11 minutes. I call BS. Around 20 i can believe, 11 i do not.
Your faith is weak, sinti. I believe I once saw like 9 minutes in twitter, but my mind might be fooling me. I was able find a 13 minutes screenshot anyway, from China.
My personal record is 21 mins but that was with a bad mouse and sub-optimal treasures, I might go and try to get below 20 before the brawl ends.
I crafted two Soulwarden cards because of this deck. I love your analysis of the card. Indeed, it is interesting. There are cards here which are not very obvious to me such as Faceless Manipulator and Dark Peddler yet you provide solid reasoning. Thank you for posting this deck and guide.
The more I look at this and think about it, the more I hate it. I actually can't believe they printed it. This will have to be banned from Arena it's so terrible. I am grumpy that it's taking up an epic spot in my packs. Purify was rightly mocked by everyone, but actually ended up working in a few decks after all. This is way worse from a design and set perspective, and is only getting a pass because it's neutral. I would take a no-text minion with a boring stat-line over this card because at least it would impact Arena.
I see that a lot of people are calling this card a failure or bad. Yes, in terms of competitive. Concept-wise, this is a very interesting design and opens up for iterations/versions of mechanics like this. Plus, nobody expected Star Aligner to become so good despite its conditional requirement to execute its effect. This card maybe will not see much play in Standard but it will be interesting to see what kind of decks will be made in Wild with this.
Yeah, the best comparison is Star Aligner which 1) is a better stand alone card; 2) has an easier combo condition; 3) has a more powerful effect. If there are tools to support this card then there are tools to support Star Aligner decks which will be better. This is pack filler disguised as a meme card.
It's a minion that has two immediate effects (rush and card generation), which is good on a minion. The fact that it generates strictly minions from your opponent's class only is a good thing since it lessens the randomness. My issue is the mana cost, it feels too slow and competes with Zilliax for that spot. This feels like a good card for a tempo deck, but might be overcosted.
Weird, weird card. If you somehow manage to pull off the effect and make those 3 copies stick on the board, it could wreak havoc for your opponent. The only card I can see that could easily make copies of this would be Gloop Sprayer and Togwaggle's Scheme, but why would you want that? Because of this, it just looks like a meme card, though there's potential to be broken once someone finds a reliable combo.
I still go there sometimes to shitpost and check messages because I made some friends there who don't play HS anymore. Yesterday someone here mentioned that the HP comments to a new card were all salty compared to the positive ones we have on OOC. I wanted to check out the salt myself but apparently it was down for me. I checked again this morning with a new network and it's the same thing
Either my government thinks HP is communist capitalist propaganda or it has been down for awhile now. Think they gave up paying those server fees?
Sorry, but 18 deck slots is all the average HS player can take, any more and they'll be really confused. Even 18 is a bit of a stretch, many players are not aware of numbers beyond what they can count on their fingers.
Not sure why people are downvoting you. The excuse Blizzard gave for why there are not more deckslots is literally that it is too confusing for new players
If your UI is so garbage that players are confused, maybe you should work on that instead of insulting your playerbase as an excuse

Looks like a meme-tier combo to be honest. What bugs me is that many of us are going to open it in our packs...
Also generating this from random effects is gonna feel real bad...
Can't wait to see someone pull some crazy combo win with this though!

Definitely not the Evolve target you would be looking for.
I'm almost certain someone will make this work somehow, but that deck is likely to remain at meme level.

So if you manage to get 3 of these things, it deals 5x3 damage? Seems like Rogue could pull this off, maybe Priest.
