Had a tough week but the pack opening definitely was a highlight, no small thanks to the give away bundle - thanks again! Here's my haul from 145 packs:
Signature: Raza (first ever from a regular pack), Sonya
Golden: Tarim, Boom, Whizbang
Regular: Ci'Cigi, Owlonius, Hemet, Pipsi, Zarimi, Goldbeard, Shudderblock, Wheel of Death, Zilliax (got upgraded to golden already)
Very happy with those, especially Whizbang, Zilliax and Zarimi.
I totally feel you there. Sometimes the game makes me play it in ways that aren't much fun or healthy anymore and that's not a very good sign I guess. I'm trying to avoid that kind of behaviour and being aware of the issue certainly is a step in the right direction. Lately I've made some decisions in that regard that should help.
Lol that paragraph sounds way more serious than I've meant it to be, but the point is: You're not alone! Try to keep in mind that it's a game after all and it's supposed to be fun!
I'm having trouble with the site search. Today I wanted to post on the "Golden Hero Power, completionist and grind" thread, so I typed in "completionist" and searched for threads. While I found it, the thread shows 0 answers and no starting post. I dug up my last comment to it from my profile site to get to the correct place. Turns out the URL isn't 100% the same but I'm pretty sure the search delivered the correct site, only the display of it seems to be bugged.
Next milestone done and boy what a grind it was considering the current state of DH.
Here's my current overall standing:
What's next? A break from grinding. I have decided I'll only play stuff that's really fun for me in the future and went on a dusting spree, killing everything that won't find a home in a cool deck. With the gains, I've started upgrading my favorite decks to golden. Most of them aren't very competitive but I'm fine with that. I think I'll try to fully upgrade a deck for each class that has reached the 1.000 wins treshold, even if it's going to take some time. Current plans:
Mage - QL Rainbow Mage for the giga flavor - done! Hunter - Reno Hunter with Beasts and Secrets - 27k dust to go. I might switch to a pure Beast deck yet, we'll see. Warlock - Curse Warlock - 28k dust to go. I've crafted Commander Ulthok for this! :D Rogue - Pirate Rogue - done! Priest - Shadow Aggro Priest - almost done, I'm only waiting to see if the new Dragon version ("Draggro Priest") will be better / more fun DH - QL Il'gynoth DH - almost done but can't be finished because there's a bug preventing people from upgrading cards like Mana Burn (DH Initiate?). Reno Big Demon DH is a good alternative.
Ooof. I have a bad feeling about this one. That's tons of value if set up correctly, but then again, it's a 10 Mana spell. Maybe it even helps DJ Manastorm become relevant?
One of the best cards in the Spell Druid deck that I'm so looking forward to playing. You've got damage, you've got Mana cheat, you even get a spell school in case that might become meaningful at one point. Crazy card, strong nerf candidate if Spell Druid proves to be OP!
I feel like there will be something going on down the line that we all don't see coming yet. Maybe Priest will find a way to abuse this with the help of Pip and some cost reduction stuff. As things stand right now, I'm not very happy about the fact that this is the diamond card on the paid reward track.
Nope, not for me. Too much RNG involved, too hard to make use of. I'm 90% sure this will be the signature legendary that will come with my bundle. Yikes.
Another cool support card for DH that is great on its own but won't help the fact that the class lacks direction. The best part is surely the targeting aspect, very well designed!
It looks cool af, but I'm not convinced this has some competitive value yet. Sure it's sticky, but 6 Mana do nothing is dangerous territory at best. Might be the 30th card in some lists, but there are a lot of candidates competing for that spot.
Bearing in mind that Rainbow DK is pretty strong right now, I rate this quite highly. Reborn is kinda wasted here but Rush and Lifesteal are great keywords. Staple card in Rainbow DK!
I love it, this is super strong! DK usually has no problem getting that chain started and gaining corpses is one of their goals anyway. Strong removal against swarm decks as well. 5 stars!
One of the biggest disappointments of the set for me. I was really hoping for the flashy win condition legendary that DH so urgently needs only to be greeted by... this? It's a nice call back but the card is not competitive at all imo. The Deathrattle slows it down and more often than not, your opponent will decide when those cards get added to your hand so good luck getting those Outcast effects online. Don't get me wrong, it provides some solid value, but just like Snake Eyes, it won't win you games.

Celestalon has solved this some time ago, I keep his tweet bookmarked for occasions like this:

Convenience transcript:
If you want the most total cards (fewest duplicates): Catch Up -> Expansion -> Class -> Standard packs
If you want more latest expansion packs (risk of more duplicates): Catch Up -> Standard -> Class -> Expansion packs

Thanks, that's very kind of you!
Yay, that's so awesome! Congrats to lemushki and sule as well!
I'll see what I can do about an interesting Wild spotlight Flux :-)
I'm with the doubters for now. 5 Mana is just too much for an egg unless you have a godly follow up turn prepared. Cool art though!
Not sure about this one... I'll give it the benefit of the doubt because of the attack buff. That way, you can even value trade with small stuff.
Ooof. I have a bad feeling about this one. That's tons of value if set up correctly, but then again, it's a 10 Mana spell. Maybe it even helps DJ Manastorm become relevant?
RNG again and the spells are temporary. Big meh from me. The mini is definitely playable but is that worth running the original? Not for me.

I don't like it. Sure, DH attacks a lot, but it seems quite clunky and there are better options available already. I'll pass.
