Been playing a bit more MTGA lately and coming back to HS I can say with complete certainty there is a huge problem with the game, and that problem is called "Standard Casual Mode." I should not be able to know a player's exact 30 card decklist (most of the time) just by what their class is. If we are going to operate with the understanding that Casual allows anything to be played, then Hearthstone needs more diversity.
edit:
Also it's high time we rotated Divine Spirit/Inner Fire. "You didn't clear the board every single turn" shouldn't mean "You died to a 5/5 while at full heath."
Truth be told, I'm only doing my HS quests in casual and leaving the game. MTGA can be a LOT more fun and varied. Even if I don't always win, you find a far bigger diversity of decks there
Yes, their dust value is way better than the dust value of packs for the same price, many more legendaries. (I suggest getting LOE and naxx tho, the other 3 adventures are kinda bad)
Man, I don't ever play wild nor even a lot of priest in standard, but that guide was so much fun to read! Thanks for the time and the dedication you invested there, I truely appreciate it.
I think there should be boss guides for the adventures and other solo content. Obviously, we have info about the boss and their hero power, but that's sort of it. And while I'm sure there are forum guides, I'd rather have easy access for it. Just a suggestion.
I'm considering getting them for both the cards, and the gameplay, but are the cards worth it in wild? Or if so, should I only pick up some adventures and not others? Thanks in advance.
Don't run Elysiana in wild. The only somewhat noteworthy matchups which could go to fatigue are the mirror and renolock. Neither of these decks see much play, especially at the higher ranks.
Jade druid is an autoloss unless you can somehow mill their jade idol(s). So Elysiana won't do anything there either.
Big priest is a 50/50 matchup if you change your deck a little. Add Tinkmaster Overspark and hard mulligan for it to dillute their resurrect pool early. This helps a LOT in the long run.
I'd also add a second Big Game Hunter and Supercollider. These also help a lot against even warlock and even shaman.
If you want to get even greedier against big priest, because you absolutely hate those degenerates with a passion like myself, you could add two Faceless Manipulator, using that on one of their Obsidian Statue plus a Brawl is a guaranteed boardclear.
Let me know if you need any other tips on that matchup.
I'm not a Wild expert but at least in Standard in Warrior mirrors the person not having Archivist Elysiana is almost certainly bound to lose. If you face a lot of aggro I wouldn't recommend her, but she enables super-controlly fatigue strategy. Azalina Soulthief is for when you think your opponent has more value in their hand than you do, it's useful sometimes but I've personally found the timing to be hard. Copying stuff like Rin's seals or Amara could win you games sometimes.
And yes I do feel like Jade Druid and Big Priest are quite mad matchups, as are most OTK decks. You should try burning cards or pulling out and killing Sorcerer's Apprentice or Archmage Antonidas with Deathlord in Mage matchups.
I hope someone with better understanding of Wild will give you more useful tips.
I like the look of this, and I think I might already have all the cards. I'd like to give it a shot, but I'm not sure how this deck code stuff works. Anyone care to give me a crash course or point me in the right direction?
I have been visiting the other site as I always used to do, just in case I miss something news related but I think I won't be doing that anymore because they have an article that includes a list of decks that are popular and one of the decks isn't even a real deck, it's one of those ways to get "secret achievements." So, logged out and loaderted!
That warning message makes me want to go over there and get myself banned. I probably won't, but Curse handled this whole situation like a bag full of scummy dirt. I want nothing to do with hearthpwn. Complete garbage the way everything was handled. I'll never have anything to do with Curse again (and luckily I don't play WoW anymore, so I don't need them for their addons either).
Hi, I like playing Wild. There are a lot of different cool deck... this time I'm in mood to play Odd Warrior. My pick was Zeddy's. Doing fine right now.
What I ask here is there any card it would be good to replace? Squeeze some other tech card? I'm especially interested how important is Elysiana? Some decks run Azalina, too. For what? To copy Reno and stuff? Elysiana has a high played winrate. Rover has served me very well vs. aggro and I wouldn't cut him. This dilemma regarding Elysiana is connected to questions can Odd Warrior deal with anything slow without her and how many slow decks one can encounter post rank 5? I encountered Reno Warlock in the first match which ended in a draw (surprised Brann + Oracle to kill us both), but I would have won if Elysiana was in my deck. What about Direhorn Hatchling and Elise to help with fatigue? Or just discover Direhorn through Stonehill? Or simply pray for luck / give up in beating good slow decks.
Zola? I don't have her.
Another help I need is regarding macro strategy vs. certain decks. Playing Wild for half an year I got a lot of experience, still there's a lot to learn, especially now with Odd Warrior. So... Big Priest is unwinnable? Is there any theoretical way to beat Big Priest? What about Jade Druid? No Geist, no party? Are there any other polarizing decks vs. Odd Warrior except these two? I guess, in Wild you just need to accept these kinds of polarization and move on... What about this new Quest Mage and Exodia?. Exodia seems fine if I burn a combo piece. Good matchups should be: most aggro decks like Odd Paladin, Odd Rogue, Murloc Shaman, Aggro Druid, Pirate Warrior and stuff... then Even Shaman; Even Warlock balanced matchup... Thanks god, Kingsbane is down, because I remember destroying Odd Warrior with him very often.
You can de Fel Lord Betrug for sure, Akali and Rhyssa seem not to be used often either. Atm Onyxia is not played, I would not de her because she's classic though
When you're facing a midrangey Dragon/Mech Warrior who stockpiles 66 health/armor & you just barely miss lethal with Spectral Pillager Rogue because you're about 3/4 of a second too slow to get your third Spectral Pillager to hit their face for 26 damage. Annoying.
Dragon C'thun
Worked for me! Had to replace a few cards but I won first try against C'Thun Warlock. I discovered their C'Thun too so I had a backup in my hand :D
what is your favorite pokemon generation?
Gen 3, probably due to the fact that that was my first pokemon game (Sapphire).
By far the best starters and coolest legendaries in my opinion.

Is it worth buying Wild Adventures?
And the same thing is also happening in standard :)

June Rise of Shadows Pack Giveaway
Good luck to all. I hope these packs will help me complete some of my fun decks.
Is it worth buying Wild Adventures?
Wild is a RnG fiesta, games are won or lost based on your match ups, so no it is not worth it.
Is it worth buying Wild Adventures?
Depends on what decks and cards you want.
Naxxramas and League of explorers have quite a few good cards that see play in today's meta. The other two... Not so much.
My advice would be to buy those two, if you really need those cards, and craft specific cards from the other two remaining adventures.

Constant Legend with this deck :) also fun - not seen quite often though...
Here's some art, make a card! [Legacy Game]

PvE Guides For Bosses
I think there should be boss guides for the adventures and other solo content. Obviously, we have info about the boss and their hero power, but that's sort of it. And while I'm sure there are forum guides, I'd rather have easy access for it. Just a suggestion.

Just a quick question to raise to you all.

what is the funniest flavor text?
I think the related flavor texts of the Twin Val'kyrs are hilarious.
Fjola Lightbane - "LOVES being called the wonder twins."
Eydis Darkbane - "HATES being called the wonder twins."
The Pepper Thread - Share Some Good Vibes!
I've decided to try my hand at the Wild format, so I bought Toki's wild bundle and I got a clown fiesta of legendaries. I got free C'Thun (because I accidentally dusted all my pre-Un'goro cards), Zola the Gorgon, Wickerflame Burnbristle, Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale, The Boogeymonster, and Fjola Lightbane. The last three are useless, but I can't complain that much over this haul.

Oh wow, you have a 17/23 mech, you say? It would be a shame if someone polymorphed it...

Stag Party (Odd Beast Druid)
I love the write-up. I'm missing too many cards to craft this, but it looks fun. Nice party!
Playing on a budget: Which cards to disenchant?
You can de Fel Lord Betrug for sure, Akali and Rhyssa seem not to be used often either. Atm Onyxia is not played, I would not de her because she's classic though
