I really enjoyed the tournament. The top 4 all had incredibly impressive levels of play. Warrior mirrors can be a bit boring to some (I actually don't mind them) but mage mirrors are usually pretty insane and fun to watch.
Posesi was actually someone who impressed me most out of everyone, and I didn't even know him before this tournament. He actually had the most impressive record and the highest overall winrate (had the best swiss record being the only person to go 11-1). His conjurer mage play was insane. I feel like he was playing that deck about as well as anyone including the grandmasters who brought it and apxvoid. I feel like the pressure got to him a bit in the final games, but for the most part his decision making and play was so fast and clean. He had some amazing Luna turns and looked awesome at the mirror, even often winning the mirror without the coin which is a big disadvantage. I felt like i was learning about the deck just watching. I felt like his sidedecks could have been better, but his main deck was simple and clean and his play was top notch.
Tom was pretty sharp on Conjurer mage as well. One game in particular, against a mech paladin (can't remember their name) he had a super impressive performance. They were running a side deck that had big game hunter and mc techs for the mage matchup, and he played around them beautifully by dropping his questing adventurer on the right turn to make it stick with freezes while only building it up to 6/6 so it played around BGH, the next turn he had three minions on board including a giant so BGH would leave a big guy up no matter what WHILE playing around mctech. Every turn in the game he played around his opponents hand like he knew every card in it.
Gallon had pretty much the best warrior play of anyone at the tournament (obviously since he made the finals). He played the mirror well and despite all the decks trying to counter warrior, he pulled through. I feel like he had one of the best understandings of how to pilot the deck strategically. Some pros preach tempo and aggression with bomb warrior while most pros in general favor slower play.. Gallon knew how to balance the two and when to use each strategy. He won games by being super aggressive and others by being super controlling. He almost went 2-2 with Dog's hyper anti-warrior deck but ended up making what some would call a mistake in the last game, but you always push the one damage. Show dominance by hitting that mage in the face with your super-collider.
Dog played well and he was heavily rewarded for bringing what was kind of a meta breaker. this site has his deck listed as conjurer mage but it's really more of a freeze/conjurer hybrid. It's a nightmare for warriors, favored against regular conjurer mage as long as they don't highroll, and did well against Rogue. The kinds of decks it probably would lose against just weren't common at the tournament. It also seemed like he had Luna's Pocket Galaxy on curve every game, but you gotta get a bit lucky to make it through so many games.
I enjoy when they offer the bundles like this. It helps complete my collection, and even if I'm not able to get missing cards at least it's a nice amount of dust to send me in the right direction. Also it's just nice to back stock dust for future expansions anyway. 6 epics and 29 legendaries till completion. :)
Yep I am about the same as others. 4 (or 5 I forget) legendaries one of which was gold and a ton of epics and other cards I never had before. This is even though I have been playing since Goblins vs. Gnomes was out and have a large collection anyway.
I'm buying it because I'm in my 30s with disposable income. I've also been playing since GvG, and so I might hit a few legendaries that I never got back in the day, but wouldn't bother crafting since I rarely play wild. Either way it's fun opening 56 packs, and will put me on track for a ton of dust for the next expansion.
I remember when I first ran into this unfortunate interaction years ago trying to damage and silence two different minions with a Keeper of the Grove.
Not as a bad an example of counter-synergy, but yeah, even when you get to pick both options on a choose one card, you're still only allowed one target.
Ran into this interaction during a Heist: playing Crystal Power with Fandral Staghelm on board, you can only choose one target, so you zap it for 2, then heal it for 5. AFAIK, the only choice card that doesn't "work" with Fandral. I suppose you could find some unlikely scenario where this is good (forcing a priest to overdraw, etc.).
It only happened once, so I don't know if a 1 or 2 health minion would die before being healed or not. Anyone else encountered this? Any other "bad" Fandral interactions?
I said this on Hearthpwn as well and I'm not sure if anyone agrees but I feel like if they're going to try and promote wild and encourage people to spend on wild they need to also have a more vested interest in its balance. They seem to be extremely hesitant to address any problem cards even though there are several. The only reason it seems like only Big Priest is an issue is because most other decks have been overshadowed. Things like Voidcaller and Jade Idol are likely to just crop up the moment they deal with Big Priest.
This thread is currently in its most primitive form, due to the lack of Spoilers. As such, features like Dungeon Run/Rumble Run/Dalaran Heist buckets were not added, but they are here.

Now that is how you market an unpopular option.
"I'm free to play and/or joined too late to play wild!" -- well, there you go.
And for those who turn their nose at wild or happen to have every important card in their possession, they get some dust.
/I was backwards; I had only wild cards when I came back to Hearthstone, had to take a lot of punishment to get a standard deck months later

Feel free to disregard this submission I guess.

"I know they say that 'the two shall become one' but this is ridiculous!"
I know the wording isn't the clearest, but I couldn't think of a better way right now.
Neutral minion
No thanks, Fandral, I got this.

well pity timer or not... got 4 legendaries, 2 of which were golden... pretty lucky

Got 3 legendaries, 3-4 epics I didn't have, & at least one rare I didn't have. Not too bad for just $35.

I won't be buying it for two reasons.
1.) I don't play Wild and the dust alone isn't a good enough reason for me to pay money for wild packs.
2.) I am broke anyway.

I'm not particularly proud of the wording, but whatever.
