Rafaam is highly debatable whether you should even have him in the zoolock decks at all. He's a last ditch desperation move that almost never works very well at all. Just call up decks with Rafaam in them, on hsreplay, and check the "winrate when played" for Rafaam ... (Edit: I'll save you the trouble. Winrate when played is pretty much 30%. So, you play Rafaam, you are basically just losing.)

I never have crafted a golden for anything ... except extra dust when I know the card is rotating to hall of fame and I don't have two of it.

about 9k Gold and 5k Dust :)

500gold and 17K dust. Just finished the Dalaran heist during the weekend, would've been at 3300 gold if not for that 

You are right. However, I use him because of his Taunt and late-game potential after Krul besides Elysiana. Maybe I should remove him in favor of good Demon such as Imp Gang Boss and Nightmare Amalgam.

So at this point they start recycling the themes of the expansions ? I dont have any clue about WoW are those all the expansions it had?

I got 1.9k gold and 24k dust. I might also buy a prepurchase deal - if it is more or less in line with previous deals in terms of value.

Pretty sure we got around 1.5-2 months until the next release, should be enough to amass a good sum of gold for packs.

Personally, i prefer the deck without arch-villian as the wild legendary pool is pretty polluted with trash cards. Adding another 1 drop would be beneficial at making the deck less top heavy, other than that it looks like a load of fun. Great job!

At three mana it would be busted, and five mana it's too much.
But I think at four mana it still kinda overpowered, dunno.

Next: A spell that interacts with the board, but it can't do damage.

2k gold and 22k dust

I would like if each season they added an NPC with that theme somewhere. On a few boards, in the main menu maybe...

Expected 2k gold until the new expansion arrives.. had to buy some ros packs for dust :)

Battletag: SariaN#21782

Region: EU

Trade only? : yes, you go first

2800 dust and around 1000 gold at the moment. I was hoping Blizzard would have the event they had this time last year where quests were giving gold and dust but it hasn't happened. I never really worry and just buy around 200 packs and craft the rest.

4K just now but probably 5k by the time the expansion drops.

I'll probably end up with around 4k gold when the expansion drops + the preorder bundle. Which I usually buy, unless it's priced in a ridiculous manner.

They took a step back from "infinite" value but added very persistent value options with twinspells, elysiana, togwaggle's plan, mechs, to the point a single card is not worth anything anymore. In many scenarios you are virtually guaranteed to never run out of value at least for what concerns the duration of the game. Might aswell be infinite. Also dk's made exception for post ww rexxar, were infinite value but a very slow trickle of infinite value. They would grind you in the end, but they wouldnt have "hard" resources like a twinspell would give you. Drboom sure mech generation is gated between an 1 in 5 roll, but as i said, the card generates value simply because the current mech pool is extremely high quality, omega assembly is staple x2, and even if you don't roll delivery drone, most of the other options are pretty versatile board control tools.

 

Dr Boom is a quasi relic of an older mentalty of pushing infinite value.  He's acceptable enough that he can exist purely because he will go away next year and because he won't be replaced with similar cards.  If he was classic he would be a definate 'nuke'.  For now he's strong enough to be big in the meta but we should be OK leaving him alone for now.  

Conjure's Calling IS a Tempo issue that you are talking about while 'slow trickle' is a Value situation. But that's nitpicking definitions.  I will note that the card actually works against Blizzard's desire for mage to NOT be a minion spammer.  I'm guessing this is not going to be repeated later on.  

Rafaam is actually a bad card, because while in theory he 'generates value' by turning your bad cards into legendaries, the end result is a very anti-synergetic deck.  There's a reason why, even after we had slow metas that goes to late game, we STILL don't have 10+ legendaries in our decks, and that's when we get to choose the legendaries.  Random ones are far worse.  He's a meme.  That's all. And I think it's intended to be that way.

 

You ARE correct that thinking ideas can lead to people focusing on how bad the ideas are rather than the issues.  I think at this point though what we need is an overall theme of what the acceptable should be.  That is, if you dislike all of these mechanics then what sort of mechanics ARE you looking for? 

or a better question: What sort of decks or matchups do you like past or present, and why?  That may help contrast what you see as wrong. It also helps remove the feeling of "I hate everything!" element. (note that it doesn't feel like you hate everything. I'm getting a feel of what you are against.  But a few 'why can't it be more like (deck/hearthstone era/so on) would help. 

I think very generically i would like for control decks to have a very limited amount of strong removal tools, for combo decks to have to work harder than they lately had to for their meal, even tho there aren't really any of them in the meta right now (on a side note, i am strongly against the existance of single cards that completely counter a combo deck), and for aggro decks to not have a jack of all trades card that just allowes them to match "equally" a deck tailored specifically for late game value, or to never run out of steam. Also no infinite value cards like jade idol unless they are very easily counterable. 

It's just my personal taste tho, if i had to pick a specific meta that i liked i couln't really pick one, i enjoyed several of them, but you could pick any single meta and find flaws in it if you wanted. This specific rotation that i don't like, but what can you do.

decks i liked umm, i played midrange hunter quite a bit, had some very tight matchups against ctrl warrior decks. I liked deathlord priest with lightbombs, mill warrior with brann and violet illusionist, oil rogue was pretty fun.. idk i've played so many decks i can't really count them all, but before the brm set rotation i had my very own homebrew of dragon rogue which was pretty good against that meta...

i really like the concept here

ill try it out later for sure

I have a visa electron ready for action

1500 at the moment. And a Master Card... 😬 

Thats the best card in the game!

Unfortunately I don't have any stopped playing when rise of shadow's was comming out. Started playing again about a month and spent all my gold and half of my dust to catch up with the rise of shadows. Didn't pre order the last two expansions but this one I might. This second expansion its going to hurt my wallet :c

I don't want to be pessimistic but, the previous expansion we had a lot of teasers before having the trailer (one for each member of the EVIL team). I'm pretty sure they will do the same thing here with a lot of little teasers before the trailer. I trully hope I'm wrong because I want that trailer so much too !

12 000 golds, but i'm saving since a lot of time now, my number grow by 1000 every new expansion (I was at 11 000 for the previous one), I just buy 70 packs and use dusts to craft what i need since i already have classic set completed ! No preorder, like always.

I tested out your deck and I must say I'm in love with your deck. You should consider adding Prince Liam since half of your deck consists of 1-Mana cards and you can prevent Skulking Geist from destroying your deck.

I crafted Prince Keleseth, Prince Taldaram and Prince Valanar Golden...

 Because Royalty deserves Bling.

 Also I have double Renounce Darkness in Gold. Reasons...
