    Amazing work, thanks a lot! This really puts things into perspective. With the amount of complaints on reddit and twitter I'd have expected far more nemsy portraits than there actually are in the game lol

    You should totally post this on reddit as well, I bet many people would find it interesting.

    That's a very cool thing to do and to share with us, especially considering you're no longer playing HS! Thanks a lot!

    If I may be so bold to suggest an improvement: Could you add a little number to each character so we can see how many portraits they got? Like 28 Nemsys, 1 King Rastakhan, ... and then add a sum at the top of the chart, next to the class icon with the total number of portraits for each class. That would complete the picture for me :)

    Merry Christmas everybody and big thanks to Flux and the staff for their dedication and their constant efforts. You are sacrificing your free time for us and that can't get enough praise imo. I hope you enjoy the holidays and I'm looking forward to what's next. Big love for Flux not forgetting the mobile people <3

    Quote From Thraxus

    Agreed, no DK buffs please. My two cents:

    • The corpse mechanic while fitting flavor-wise is largely redundant; in theory this should place a further restriction on cards and limit the overall power level, in practice I find this seldom to be relevant at all (apart from making some generation and thief mechnics much worse for the non DK opponent)

    [...]

    This is something I very much agree with and while we could always hope for better pay off cards in the future, why not try something bold in the meantime? What might help DK a lot without breaking specific cards would be to buff their Hero Power to 1 Mana. The current iteration feels pretty clunky and Demon Hunter has proven that a ping per turn isn't the end of the world if it can't go through Taunt.

    Anyway, we do urgently need a balance patch to tone down some of the bullshit in this game. Watching the World Championship made me wonder what game mode I was spectating at times - Miracle Rogue and Boon Priest look like Wild decks and Control Priest is approaching that level of power as well (if you ignore the fact that the Wild version also has the ability to put on heavy pressure on the opponent via Shadowform / Raza). Arena and Wild have big problems as well and the big question seems to be when, not if we will see the devs intervene. I hope they will do so tomorrow, but there's a small risk they won't do that because you always have to stay vigilant for like a week or something after a patch like that in case a new synergy breaks the game and then we're getting very close to the holidays.

    Anyway again, here's my personal wish list for Wild:

    Thanks again for sharing that list with me in the first place! This is my first time legend with a Control deck and it was a very exciting experience.

    Regarding the Denathrius question I see him on the edge of losing his place in this deck, but for me he stays in for now. His battlecry is still useful especially considering the synergy with the DK Hero Power. On top of that a 10/10 body which usually comes down late in the game is nothing to scoff at so I don't really see a replacement bringing a better or even similar package to the table.

    What made me really happy is that this deck shows Blizzard has hit the (blood) DK power level spot on. The new class isn't broken in any way I'm aware of, but it's good enough to hold its own in Wild. Great work! I haven't played much with the other two rune types yet but I've already met some opponents with really creative lists I'm looking forward to trying out myself.

    I have an idea of which way this might go but I actually am pretty busy at the moment :D

    Thanks a lot, now I know what to expect and can plan accordingly. It's certainly the more elegant solution but I'm not gonna lie, a full dust refund would have been better for me (reroll = casino, dust refund = free legendary of my choice). Let's hope Yogg favors me come Tuesday!

    Thanks for the write up! Unfortunately I'm still confused about the reroll option for certain cards. Maybe someone can help me with this?

    I've opened a "plain" Grand Magister Rommath from my preorder packs and I'm planning to get the paid reward track. So what will happen when I hit level 2 and get the diamond copy? Reroll for the plain copy? Full dust for it? Only regular disenchantment value?

    While I agree with most of what's said in this thread, let's not forget sunken cost fallacy. I have been preordering most expansions for the last four years because I could afford it and it made the game more fun for me. If hearthstone would die tomorrow I'd be sad because it's my favorite game, but I wouldn't be mad because the investment I've made over the years is gone. I didn't really pay for my collection, I've paid for the fun it gives me.

    That's all correct with the exception of Undead. It is a dual tribe card though.

    Looks very promising! Why no Crystalsmith Cultist instead of Undertaker though? I feel like the new card might end up being more consistent here.

    Very cool deck, any plans to update it now that the Porcupine got the second tribe tag? I've tried my hand at building something around those synergies, would love to hear your thoughts about it!

    I am dead and I am alive,

    Blood and oil run through my veins.

    I'm sharp and pointy like a knife.

    Buffing me might raise your gains,

    Cause if they kill me I will sting.

    Look for me in the land of the lonely.

    I'm just a lord, not quite a king.

    My upgrades are real, they aren't phoney.

    I was able to download it on my Android device at 21:30 CET yesterday already. Weird.

    Beautiful but sadly there's no way I'll ever get one of those.

    Sorry, I'm pretty busy these days. I think I can provide a riddle on Tuesday. If anyone wants to jump in before that, feel free to do so!

    I like it even if it does not look strong enough for Wild yet. Maybe we'll get some more Arcane spells in the future or they'll update some cards like Rapid Fire to get that Spell School.
