First run of the new season, first ever 12 win duels run for me. There's only one thing to do in a moment like this. 

My Royal Mukla Duels Paladin deck has been my favorite for duels. It was a work in progress from that original list, with big improvements (Echoing Ooze & Soggoth the Slitherer) coming in thanks to Avalon's great duels articles, and it got some serious love with the new rotation. Turns out Ragnaros the Firelord is pretty good. With a nod to Elise the Trailblazer and the good luck I had with treasures and buckets, it was a very lopsided run. The only loss was this brutal beatdown by a god-hand Shaman. 

Rally the Troops is busted. So very, very busted. 

Starting decklist is below, and I'll add when deckbuilder is updated.

I had an idea for the UI when queuing into standard, wild, classic, or casual. The icon at the top which you press to change modes would let you pick between casual or ranked, and when you press play you would queue into whatever mode your selected deck fits in.

Just played Vectus after only one deathrattle minion dying, and he only summoned the one whelp. He used to summon 2 whelps no matter what. Given how this card synergizes with Plague of Flames, this is a major downgrade. Has anyone else witnessed this? Do we think it's an intentional change or a bug?

So maybe it's because it's 5 AM, but i'm going to go on a rant for a bit.

Four mana. Deal 2 damage. 

With the release of the long awaited forged in the barrens warrior got a new AOE. It is essentially, in a vacuum, the same old same old, been in the game forever, hasn't changed since classic hearthstone with CONSECRATION, 4 mana deal 2 damage AOE. 

And it got my noggin joggin, you could say. It makes you think doesn't it. In the same expansion we see cards like Paralytic Poison, Silverleaf Poison, cards that would NEVER have been made and have completely showed the hypocrisy of the leeching poison nerfs YET AGAIN. Warrior gets 4 mana deal 2 damage AOE. 

I don't know if you've played hearthstone lately, but no one plays Bloodfen Raptor anymore. On turn 4, deal 2 to everything will not just not do anything, but it will make the situation seem more hopeless for you, the next few turns when you proceed to lose. 

I was hearing they would remove brawl from warrior's classic set. And i had hoped to god they didn't. Because it's literally the only thing they have. 

they print voracious reader for aggro, they print ticketus for aggro. And they give you 4 mana deal 2 damage AOE. Why?

The expansion is here guys look what the other kids got.

And here's what you get timmy. Try not being you, maybe if you only played the game on an Iphone like the aggro players you'd get nice things too.

Here's what you get. 

Hey guys, couldn´t find the info anywhere at the time of posting this, so I thought I might share, so you won´t miss it. You can now buy Sylvanas Hero along with her cardback with money or GOLD! Yay :D

So I just wanted to see if the Duels cardpool was already updated (it is) and naturally ended up building a Discolock deck now that Lakkari Sacrifice is part of the starting pool (which is a lot of fun so far, Imps go wheeeee).

Now, as you probably know Lakkari Felhound was recently buffed to discard the two loweset-cost cards, which is really helpful if you want to discard [Hearthstone Card (Clutchmother Xavas) Not Found] among other things.

What I did not know was that they apparently buffed the interaction between these two specific cards even further. When I play Felhound with just about 5 different cards in hand (one of them Clutchmother), he proceeded to discard Xavas, who did her discard thing and came back....BEFORE the 2nd card was discarded....after which she was discarded AGAIN for another buff.

I don't know if this would apply to any other cards (since this is the only multi-discard with specific targets), but it's certainly a welcome change.

I'm gonna try and test it with Cataclysm to see what happens there, but I doubt it lets me infinitely discard Xavas.

okay so hear me out , blizz said  that brawls will give  more recent packs right ? so lets assume this happens  when patch 2.0 goes live , then, we will assume those packs will be barrens because it will be the most recent expansion (technically it still darkmoon but darkmoon will be way less valuable  a week before the new expac) now the fun starts if the patch goes live  tuesday 23 and you have a pack for the last week in the chest it should  trasform into a barrens pack! now this is all a theory but if you dont play tavern  next week ( you can play but you cant win so i dont see a point XD) you dont lose anything and worst case scenario  after the patch rolls you can still get your classic pack if it didnt work ( you can do it against  a friend to save time)

 i will do it so lets experiment with me guys!  a little shout-out to the alleria guy (or girl) that always remember about the free arena pack,  it inspired me to do this  Thread, you rock!

I was going over the Blizzard site and I was not able to find any information about potentially opening your pack early like what was previously offered (https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/news/23557138/open-madness-at-the-darkmoon-faire-packs-at-home-at-your-own-pre-release-fireside-gathering)

With the last expansion, as long as you were able to "host" a Fireside gathering at your house on your WiFi, you were able to open your packs.  I've not seen anything posted about Forged in the Barrens.  Does anyone have a spoiler for it?
