+3 is a lot of extra damage and I could guess Shaman will get a couple of Nature spells to make use of him. Could be a key card in OTK och Spell damage decks.

Great flavor and fan service. It's comparable to the Primes, playable 3-drop with a good reward. Probably a go-to card if you need to fill out your non-aggro deck.

Much nostalgia as Peon finally becomes a card! Too bad it's just a worse Wandmaker. Frenzy is awkward at 3 health unless you're able to trigger it on the same turn.

Great card for Warrior with Cruel Taskmaster still around and Enrage synergies. But as it has Rush already, a simple buff might be enough for great effect. Really interesting card!
Quote From AbusingKel Let me just say that I hate, hate, hate the Not So Lonely achievement (end your turn with a Redeemed Pariah with 10 attack or higher in play). 8/10 on that one and it's brutally stupid. They don't last until the next turn so you literally have to play the pariah plus 8 outcast cards on the same turn. Not well designed, especially since you must run all the small cost outcast cards and then proceed to sit on them turn after turn to build your hand big enough.
Quote From AngryShuckie
If you have Arch-Thief Rafaam, you can just cast the +10/+10 treasure on the Pariah. All you need is a 1 mana discount somewhere and you're good to go. It's against the spirit of the achievement but it's better than getting too frustrated over it.
This or you can buff your Redeemed Pariah with any temporary buff cards to 10/10 and concede on your turn. It will count the achievement, because you ended the turn, when the buffs were still active. This worked for me.
I was lucky and encountered an AFK bot (or something) on ladder, that let me buff up the dude without any counterplay. So happy to get that achievement out of the way!

I'm at level 88 now, with two weeklies still unfinished. I have also recently switched focus to achievements and try to squeeze in the relevant cards in my good decks, as well as making "achievement only" decks.

So regarding Classic pack, this is how it seems to me:
If you hope to open HoF cards (except Baku & Genn), hold on until after rotation.
If you hope to open recently added Classic cards, open them now.
Have I understood it correctly? I have saved a couple of Classic packs, but I think I have all HoF cards already so it might be best to open them now...

For the last days of the season, I hit the ladder with the new Murloc paladin featured on the site. I steamrolled to 12-0 and Diamond 9, first time for me up there! Also got an achievement for 12 in a row, I never thought I would get that one.

Since I've opened all the useless legendaries for Warlock and none of the good ones, I made a "Crap legendaries" deck just to meme around with Deck of Chaos, Fel Lord Betrug and Archwitch Willow. Today I beat a Quest resurrect Priest in wild (forgot to switch format) to much joy!

I started a Heroic Duels run before the mid-expansion, to see if I would get a free ticket. I stopped at 2-2 and the run continued even after the patch. Whatever, I thought, and yesterday I took up the run just to finish it and get my pack. 5 wins later I'm at 7-2 and really happy the run wasn't interrupted!

Got to 50 yesterday, just as a few of you other guys. I ended up with Garrosh of Might, so I really hope there will be a Warrior deck I enjoy and can afford after rotation. :

Reached 49 today and still haven't decided what portrait to choose. I really like Garrosh but doesn't play Warrior much. Not a fan of Thrall (my favorite class) but he might grow on me? Might go with Rexxar...
I've also come to the conclusion that the rewards track actually feels pretty good. I haven't done the math and compared to before but I'm pretty happy with the gold I've gained. For the record I don't have much time to play and haven't bought the tavern pass.

I have a few levels left but I'm leaning towards Garrosh when I get there. Of the classes I don't have an alternative portrait for, I think he's got the best. On the other hand I play very little Warrior now as I don't have any of the key legendaries.
Unfortunately I don't like the new Thrall at all, otherwise the choice would be easy. Illidan's and Rexxar's new portraits is also kinda meh imho.

Pack filler. Needs to be activated on your turn or just a waste of card space. Not impressed.
Interesting potential both as combo piece or removal, could fit into a lot of decks.
Much nostalgia as Peon finally becomes a card! Too bad it's just a worse Wandmaker. Frenzy is awkward at 3 health unless you're able to trigger it on the same turn.
Actually dual-class Priest/Paladin? It needs certain spells and minions on board for a pretty small buff, won't see play imho.

Demonic Studies gave me Magtheridon on T3 to mess up his r(c)ess pool and Fel Lord Betrug was the MVP mid-game with a LOT of extra value, including an additional Envoy Rustwix. With him finally at 2 health Solarian Prime finished him off in style.
I scored my first flawless victory in Battlegrounds today, with Patches and a Pirate build of course!

I'll try it out as well. I have a few tickets to spare and it makes sense to get one just as with Arena.

Got a pack, thanks for the heads-up
