    Grimmer Patron looks like a perfect Active Treasure for that list. Congrats for the result!

    I believe in you! Good luck with your run, and make sure to tag me whenever you get there.

    The point is that Staking A Claim is so good that you don't really care if your Discover effect triggers, as long as your cards have it.

    You can pretty much switch the Discover keyword with "Battlecry: give all your minions +1/+1. Sometimes Discover a card."

    There aren't many Discovery cards in the Duels pool, so we cannot really be too picky in that regard!

    Cards' cost have to be considered before the game starts. Therefore, C'Thun, the Shattered is a 10-cost card: it doesn't really matter what its effect does, just like Goldshire Gnoll.

    Greetings everyone and thanks for your patience.

    As Link already pointed out (thanks!), the last week was quite busy for me, and the free time I had was taken by the recent balance patch, so I wasn't able to pay much attention to this thread. However, I am now back, and I will see what happened in my absence.


    Revaz142 - Unfortunately, your Questline Priest submission is not valid. I can see that you could've really built your deck in order to respect the restrictions, but the initial screen rule should not be broken. I try to be as flexible as possible, accepting HSReplay replays and such (even though I shouldn't and, to be correct, I won't from October), but if I were to let this slide then everyone would do the same. Again, I am sorry, because not recognizing someone's efforts feels pretty shitty, but I have little to no decision room here...

    Evilgnomey - Congratulations for the Dude Paladin 12er! The submission is valid and will be uploaded in the leaderboard.

    Aventurin - Hey there, welcome and congratulations for your feat! I am glad that my pre-made deck was useful for you. Your submission is valid as will be uploaded soon.

    shaveyou - Wow, you hit 12-0 with that deck? Incredible! I am very glad to give up the lead to someone as creative as you. GG

    It was published just a few minutes ago: it features some of the starting deck people used to hit 12 wins with, since the recent balance patch went live.

    Here's a link.

    I totally agree with you: right after Warrior, Paladin seems to be the class that can exploit Disks of Legend the most!

    Zola the Gorgon - win more: her effect is very nice to have, but it's not fundamental at all.

    Loatheb - must have: there are too many spell-based decks and Loatheb can lock your opponents out for an entire turn, which usually wins games.

    Overlord Saurfang - getting a second proc to Kresh, Lord of Turtling is extremely good, especially if you're against Miracle Priest or other aggressive builds.

    However, you should keep in mind that this is a pre-patch starting deck, and that now you cannot pick All Together Now as your Tier 1 Passive anymore - therefore, a Battlecry-intensive build may not be the smartest build ever.

    We will definitely have to rethink most of the already existing archetypes. Because of this, I suggest you should hold on to craft stuff and wait to see what's going to be good from now. A Duels meta report is coming out very soon!

    Even Mage walked so that Odd Mage could run: time to take the dust off my Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk.

    There's a chance that Reno decks will make a comeback.

    I tend to agree with you, but once you grasp the bigger concepts it becomes way more fun and easier - even though I dropped the game, I played it for a couple months back in the day.

    Questline can't be Discovered or generated in any way, so your guess is good!

    Well, I am basically a frog, so reading is extremely hard for me. Most of the times, I go by guesses and just look at the pictures, hoping that no one will notice.

     

    Jokes aside, my bad: I was so confident about Illucia's rework that when I read the word 'copy' I though "heh, nailed it" and didn't bother to double check. Thanks for pointing it out: it has now been fixed!

    Hey Croque, nice to see you here! Thanks for pointing out the mistake: it always happens that you type out the name of a card incorrectly: it has been fixed now ;)

    Thanks for the kind words and yes: I'll make sure to come and say hi whenever I have the chance!

    I was here before it became popular.
