I just finished opening my 85 Scholomance packs from preorder. Here are the results:
I figured it wouldn't make a difference if I opened the 5 golden packs first or last and just started out with them. BOOM! First pack, first card, golden Mozaki, Master Duelist! No luck with the other packs though, no golden epics.
The sheer number of epics and legendarys is good, but I didn't get much of what I was planing to play with. Fingers crossed for the second opening when the expansion hits!
How was your pack opening? Are you happy with your results?
The link you provided leads to a German version of the hearthstone site. Not world ending but figured I'd point it out. Also thanks for reminding me this is a thing I set one up as well.
Sorry for that, I was hoping the page would adjust the language once you logged in. There's a link to the Fireside Gathering page at the end of the article from Blizzard I also linked, if this is a problem for anyone.
I really liked the Spell Beast Druid in the final reveal stream. Even finished the Trial by Felfire Challenges to get that shiny golden Kel'thas yesterday. Second on the list is a tempo mage, but I'm not sure if that will be a thing. When I get bored of loosing I'll switch to Demon Hunter or maybe try and put together a Hunter list.
Friendly reminder that Scholomance pack opening is possible via Private Fireside Gathering starting today! *source
I'll only have a few hours of time when the expansion hits next week, so I decided to use this feature this time. It's pretty easy, just go here and follow the instructions. Fingers crossed for a good haul, I'll make sure to report back what I got. I'm hoping for Ace Hunter Kreen, Professor Slate, Ras Frostwhisper and Mozaki, Master Duelist. Really lots of strong epics this expansion, that might end up being quite expensive.
I really hope there will be a good Tempo Mage deck. It was the first archetype I played on ladder when I came to Hearthstone. Might try to make this work just for the Mana Wyrm nostalgia.
I agree, it's certainly there - and I love it. I'm pretty sure that the solo adventure will take a more WoW oriented direction though. They gave us a Kel'Thuzad hero in its lich form with a fitting card back and a human Kel'Thuzad as a card, that doesn't add up without an explanation in my books. Conclusion: the PVE content will be about the players discovering the evil nature of the headmaster and suddenly it all turns from Hogwarts to OG Scholomance.
Thanks to you for sharing the list! What made me suggest Zilliax is that you don't run any survival tools. No AOE, no heal. Zilliax stalls versus aggro, can take out a Ship's Cannon versus Pirate Warrior and, most important of all, if you stick him on a big Pogo Hopper, he can become a pseudo-Reno.
I've played a lot of Pogo Rogue in standard after its nerf to 1 Mana. In my experience, game winning combos usually were Pogo + Magic Carpet and pogo + Zilliax, once they were big enough. Of course Wild is a different place, but I'd recommend you to give Zilliax a chance. It should improve your chances against Pirate Warrior and Odd Demon Hunter.
I dusted Alex for now, but I'm kind of already missing her. Got lucky today with a golden Corsair Cache from a pack from an Arena run.
What do you think, do I need two copies of Warglaives and Dragoncaster? I feel like one of those would be enough for most deck so I could dust the second copies...
I reworked some of the cards based on your feedback, especially targeting the art. I don't want to edit the initial post though, so people can see the mistakes and the changes I've made. Instead, I'll put everything into this post.
Current problems:
1) Still worried about the names of the Mount cards. Right now they received a "the" before their name, but that feels a bit off. Anyone with a better idea?
The Great Air Race
Our favorite heroes have agreed upon taking a little break from constantly bashing their heads in and chose to participate in The Great Air Race to pass their time instead. It takes place in the Jade Forest on Pandaria and revolves around the Order of the Cloud Serpent, so prepare for Dragons, Pandaren and …
Mounts! Every class gets a Legendary Mount card to help them win the race. With the exception of Druid I used their WoW class mounts for these. I’m really surprised Blizzard hasn’t walked down this path a long time ago. They are so cool!
Winning The Great Air Race will not only be a matter of speed, but also of endurance. This trait will be illustrated by my custom
New Keyword: Stamina (x)!
Protect your Stamina minions and reap amazing rewards! Stamina is basically a fun and interactive version of Dormant. It forces players to pay more attention to their opponent’s board and brings back trading minions as a key element of Hearthstone.
But enough of the warm up, let’s go racing! Here are the cards I’ve designed so far:

Out of the 80 normal packs I got 15 epics plus one golden epic. Sadly, they were not the ones I was hoping for (not a single copy of Survival of the Fittest, Krolusk Barkstripper, Potion of Illusion and Combustion). The legendarys I got are
Disciplinarian Gandling in pack #3
High Abbess Alura in pack #43
Vectus in pack #44
Archwitch Willow in pack #80

I would be so happy if these were new achievements. Just give Hunter something cool this time, okay?
Worked for me. Thanks for sharing!
Great deck! Worked on first try for me and I'm missing both the quest and Soul Mirror. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, that's nice! Do the dual class card count as class cards in this context?
I really hope there will be a good Tempo Mage deck. It was the first archetype I played on ladder when I came to Hearthstone. Might try to make this work just for the Mana Wyrm nostalgia.
Congrats, well done! And such a cool story, too :-)
Wow, that looks super strong! If you drop this on a board with taunts, your opponent's in Big trouble!
Nice addition to Raza priest in Wild!

It was meant to be "say", I corrected it. Thanks and sorry!

Bookmarked. This is great, thanks a lot for the work you put in there!
I set up 6 minions. I played him with 5 mana left. I'm at full health. What in Yogg's name do I have to do for a Bloodlust?!
