    You literally just got 1000 win portraits to show your veterancy and you're whining because people can obtain a skin, which many could not before, again?

    This screams entitlement, no matter how much you claim it not to be.

    I'm not whining because people can obtain a skin;
    I'm whining because blizzard is doing nothing for keeping its exclusivity and make it available in a wrong way.

    These are different from each other. I have given so much example to make it clear but you all are still stuck on that "People deserves to obtain the skin."

    I don't mind who will obtain that skin. Take screenshots that you can finally own Tyrande skin and print it to hang it on the all walls of your home or roll those screenshots to keep them in wherever you want I don't really care. I won't give more examples because you are just striving to not understand.

    Nice performative wokeness. You just strain to be more sensitive but honestly it doesn't work. It looks like a token gesture sadly because I've already said I don't mind people obtaining it, I just mind how blizzard doesn't keep its exclusivity.

  • Wow, had the same idea without Shadowy Figure but with more Grave Runes + Embalming Rituals + Holy Smite but I've figured it out it won't work to give Mogu Cultist reborn twice so I've changed the combo into Shadowy Figure after I saw your version with Shadowy Figure thanks to you.

    Deck looked like this;

    to be an idea, i liked the ability that Bwonsamdi, the Dead can easily draw Mogu Cultists if we can't draw.

    I hope you like my deck. I really apprecieated that you find the Shadowy Figure solution which I failed with the mistake of giving a minion reborn twice don't work case.

    Also I have thought to use Vivid Nightmare in my deck too but thought that adding it could be so greedy since the deck seems greedy.

     it surely is a letdown when you pay for something and later on everyone gets it for free.

    To be fair no one paid for Tyrande: it was a gift included in Amazon Prime, so if you happened to have it (and let's be honest: you don't have Amazon Prime for a HS skin) then you could have claimed it.
    Moreover, even if you suggest to make her available in the same conditions, now you can have a free month of Prime, so it's just easier to give her away for free.

    But I really want to make this clear: Tyrande was a gift limited to some countries and no one directly paid for her.

    On the other hand (just so you get the situation I'll use the example you wrote in your comment), Lazul was a skin tied with an 80 $ bundle which was limited in time, so giving her away for free would be unfair; but I wouldn't see anything wrong if they just put her in the new store for the usual price, maybe after a few expansions though

    IT is not different than Lazul and you can say that it is unfair because it is tied to a bundle for limited time, i've highlighted and made bold where I am addressing.

    Tyrande is tied with Amazon/Twitch prime membership which was limited in time, I really can't understand how you can't understand those are same.

    Your argument about it is free is simply most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You can't obtain if you don't have a credit card and free-trial membership. So basically, People who doesn't own a credit-card or online payment method couldn't obtain it and truth is yes, I am not living in those countries, I don't even use Amazon/Twitch prime. I just used a VPN and fake adress to be able to obtain Tyrande and Paid for Twitch Prime membership and it was not my free-trial, I have paid for it; so ofc, I will be pissed off that Blizzard will give it away for free now.

    Also, I know other guys in my friendlist who lives in those countries and normally don't use Twitch prime but got it just because of Tyrande skin.

    The case that you can't imagine what people do for being able to obtain that skin won't change the reality sadly. People did bought Prime to obtain this skin even you think like "why the hell would people buy prime just because of tyrande?", People who doesn't live in those countries used some VPN and Fake adresses to obtain it and subscribed just because it.

    Still, I wouldn't mind that people will obtain it for free, Why don't you understand ? I am just saying that the way how Blizzard did is wrong for people who obtained this skin before. Make it available to all but make its hero power non-golden for example, that's a way, There are so much ways to make it available as making people who owns the skin happy but Blizzard did this in wrong way again.

  • Well, I have realized that you can't give reborn twice to a minion.

    So, I will change the deck a bit.

  • Quote From BasilAnguis

    Tyrande was first only available to people in United States, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Austria through a Twitch Prime membership. Then she was obtainable for those in the SEA region. Anyone else could not legitimately obtain her.

    I don't want to be rude but this makes you look like you want compensation cause owning Tyrande doesn't make you special anymore which honestly is a pretty selfish thing. Instead of being happy people who weren't as lucky as you now have the chance to obtain a nice skin, you whine it's "unfair" other people can get her when getting her in the first place wasn't fair to all Hearthstone players due to region locking that was completely out of their hands!

    I really can't understand why people think like this. It is even a semi-paid content that can be obtainable through Twitch Prime Membership which costs money but I'm not on that.

    You who doesn't own the Tyrande skin is more selfish than me in this situation because you are simply saying; "No matter what, I don't care; I want that skin ! "

    I 've said that repeatedly, but still you don't care or can't even read every posts here. I really don't care who will get skin or not. It is blizzard I have aimed my arrow here and how they treat their older players. Even I gave an example from League of Legends about how they can do in order to make all happy.

    anyways, There is nothing I can do more for you to understand me. You re just stuck at that "hey, Everyone has a right to have that skin."

    Quote From Avalon

    So it's true that no matter what Blizzard does, they'll never be able to get everyone's consent.

    People like you that complain even about stuff that we has been asked for years is the reason we don't deserve anything at all.

    I know that we are not deserving anything by playing a game and I know there is no way to make all people happy. For example, Even people got angry about even that why their favorite classes don't get Highlander Support at Saviors of Uldum. You can't make all community happy at the same time.

    But truth is, they might have done in this situation. Did you really read the post about the LoL Example ? It was that simple. It could be like golden Elite Tauren Chieftain and normal one; or golden SN1P-SN4P and normal one.

    I am not saying you don't deserve anything. I've said it repeatedly, even in this answer twice with my answer of @BasilAnguis. You can obtain that skin I have no complains about it. It is about blizzard, not you. You re just stuck at that "hey, Everyone has a right to have that skin." like him/her and don't even care who I am aiming.

    Also As you can see above, people who don't live in those countries already got the skin, including me. There was a way to do and we searched and obtained it. Everyone might do but you just decided to sit on your ass and wait for it. We are not responsible for this. You could obtain, so don't cry if you didn't.

    I can show emphaty towards you but you don't even try that for me.

  • are Devoted Maniacs necessary in Galakrond Shaman ?

    I mean you can add Bloodlust or something instead of them. You have already great tokens with rush, I don't think Devoted Maniac are good enough to be a part of this deck.

  • Yeah, it is not a card, it is a deck and if you are writing a comment like "terrible" you need to say something about why you think like that.

    You can call a card terrible without a reasoning, but that's not valid for a deck. We are a community here.

  • Do we really know it summons dragons for opponent too ? Is there a confirmation or a video about it ?

    I mean card text says "Both players draw a card. If it's a dragon, summon it." instead of "Both players draw a card. If they are dragon, summon them."

    That makes me think and evaluate the value again.

  • Nine Lives maybe ?

    To be able to Summon Highkeeper Ra;

    Play Mogu Cultist + Embalming Ritual + Embalming Ritual + Grave Rune + Grave Rune + Holy Smite (On Mogu Cultist);
    This will summon 6 Copies of Mogu Cultists on board. Now, All you need to do is playing another Mogu Cultist from your hand at exact 10 mana.

    Decreasing 3 copies of combo pieces will make you be able to do this combo. It doesn't matter which you decrease. Decreasing 2x Grave Rune twice is the best and safest way because you will be able to do the combo before you draw other pieces so you won't need to decrease 3rd copy of any combo piece.

    For more information and the Guide, you may visit the deck's guide.

    I hope you visit and enjoy. I will probably try it in first day of the expansion if I can afford Frizz, Murozond and Kronx.

  • Yeah but the situation here is different. You can use Heroic Strike in any deck and there is only 2 copies of it but you can use Ritual Chopper in only Galakrond decks so you will always have + attacks from another invokes there are 6 copies of invokes available to warrior and you will use them in the deck anyways. That's different. This weapon is 4/2 in disguise.

    but i can understand evaluating the card as a simple piece tho.

  • I really didn't understand how even Demonxz95 skipped it also. It is not a 1/2 rogue weapon. You may invoke again.

    Anyways, All will end-up crafting Ritual Chopper if they don't obtain it from a pack or d/e it because it will be the core card of Galakrond Warrior deck if it will be in tierlists. I think it can tbh.

    Quote From Mercynary9

    I never saw Carnivorous Cube on priest (except old priest quest), so I think it's a bad card, will see though.

    Here is my dream scenario:

    Play Leeroy Jenkins and go face, Play Grave Rune on him and ping it with Holy Smite. Get 2xLeeroy Jenkins and go face!

    Embalming Ritual instead of Holy Smite will do same thing + ability to trade one of taunts in way.

  • None of them i think.

    Lightforged Zealot and Secure the Deck might do better things than people thought.

    Wyrmrest Purifier make paladin decks instantly pure paladin. (Loved the flavour btw.)

    I personally think that [Hearthstone Card (Purifier Paladin) Not Found] archetype is promising.

    I am not a great deck-builder but just an example;

  • Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

    I don't think you can run Galakrond in Highlander, as tempting as it may be.

    You will only run 4 invokers total, meaning that for a fully upgraded galakrond you'd need to play all of them beforehand (and you really don't want to play Galakrond without fully upgrading him)

    that also makes Kronx much worse, since you can't play him until you've played Galakrond.

    That's why I have Spirit of the Shark + Cobalt Spellkin in the deck at the first place. I've thought that I may trigger twice battlecry minions and Cobalt Spellkin might give me [Hearthstone Card (Praise Galakrond) Not Found]. That's rng tho.

    Also I've thought like that; Kronx Dragonhoof isn't in the deck because of creating a combo with Galakrond, the Nightmare but Galakrond is in the deck just because of Kronx Dragonhoof and lackey generation.

    So the thought behind Galakrond isn't using it for activating a combo, it is there just because of the battlecry of Kronx.

  • Isn't Faceless Corruptor better than Oasis Surger if you don't have quest in the deck. Of course you will need a minion on board to make it effective but it is a considerable option in my opinion.

    Whoops ! I realized that they are already in the deck. :D

  • I've built a highlander deck for rogue. I've tried highlander package on rogue last season. It had promising comboes with Zephrys The Great, Shadowstep, Spirit of the Shark but didn't go so well because of the lack of support on rogue's highlander package.

    Now I'm thinking that Dragonqueen Alexstrasza + Kronx Dragonhoof + Galakrond, the Nightmare can help the deck so much with so much lackey generation of Galakrond and huge combo potential of all of the value generation cards. I know that rogue has always best lackey generation but now it is beyond best i think.

    Anyways, the deck is here;

    I am open to all suggestions because I want Highlander Rogue deck to be viable so much and want to improve the deck as much as possible.

    So, if you are also interested in Highlander Rogue, Please share your ideas + decks + replacement suggestions here to help me improve it.

    Quote From KANSAS

    More than half of the players don't own tyrande, and everyone who doesn't own Tyrande wishes they did. What blizzard is doing appeals to more than half of the playerbase.

    What you are saying is that you are upset because blizzard isn't treating you with respect, they don't care if you spent time and effort into obtaining this. But couldn't you say the exact same thing about players who don't own her? If blizzard ignored the players who keep on asking for her back then they wouldn't be treating them with much respect, they wouldn't care that those players were unable to obtain her due to not living in the right country.

    Blizzard had to choose to either appeal to the old players who want her to stay exclusive, or to the new players who want to own her. They simply made a smart business decisions and appealed to the larger audience.

    Plus, not every old player is salty about tyrande not being exclusive anymore, just the selfish ones.

     

    I'm not even living those countries but I owned her. How ? Because there was a way to do so. I have searched for it and owned her. If I could do without living those countries, Everyone is able to do so.

    + I'm not complaining that they are giving Tyrande to everyone. Everyone can own her I'm ok with that. What I'm trying to say here is the exclusivity and how blizzard decides to that. That's what you don't and probably never understand.

    Look, There is an example on League of Legends and how they handled with Championship Riven issue.



    It is that simple to make your older players happy with the older content be available to all again.

    You all are calling this selfish but noone here (at least I) am not saying that they shouldn't give the Tyrande skin to all. They should have made to older one or newer one a little bit different from each other to keep its exclusivity.

    Some people who got Twitch Prime just because of Tyrande skin while they normally wouldn't buy. I'm like that for example. It is not selfishness. I feel I am tricked. That's all.

    I am not attacking people who want to own the skin. I am attacking Blizzard who decided to make it available again in a wrong way.


    OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH. You are simply saying that old players should be given compensation for having gotten her earlier, so that everyone can enjoy the better looking skin, but then older players can still brag about having gotten her first. 

    I am sorry but that was not clear even a little bit.

    Yeah, it was just about that. I have no bussiness with the people who will gather Tyrande skin in future. My target is Blizzard here and how they are acting.

    They simply think that they already won older players so they don't need to do anything to keep them in the game.

    Sorry Blizzard, I'm planning to move Legends of Runeterra as my main game when it is released because of your dick moves. If you(Blizzard) can consider we old players are also desire something, we may talk again. No more pre-orders, or any payment. I just play the game casually.

  • You should use Stowaway to trigger Candles + Shadows quickly.

    It is a must in this deck. Stowaway will instantly summon Waxadred and Shadows when you draw.

    I was building a deck almost same with this yet and decided to spare Galakrond and Waxadred decks because it feels so greedy and your version seemed so greedy too to me.


    You have deathrattle package with Zilliax but didn't add single Mechanical Whelp for example.

    There are so much stuff like that in your deck to tinker.
