    Good to know that there are potential competitors out there that missed the original article!

    I am glad we decided to publish a reminder :)

    There's no need to eat them if you kill them before ;)

    For as much as I like Duels, I have to admit that the mode has been neglected pretty damn hard.

    My hopes are that, once Mercenaries will be released, most of Team 5 will go back to their previous tasks, including Duels.

    BG kept Hearthstone's popularity high in a moment where the game was slowly losing it.

    Battlegrounds has monetization only around cosmetics (and number of heroes you can choose from), yet it it what basically saved HS from going down.

     

    Don't want to sound too harsh, but you seem to be too much of a Doomsayer when we know little to nothing about Mercs.

    It's Blizz who made it public, but it was definitely not intended.

    I thought about it, but I am not a WoW expert and I remembered that Confessor Paletress is pretty similar, so I just avoided mentioning it.

    You got me on that one - didn't really think of that.

    I respectfully disagree with you. Darkglare Warlock is not the only Wild deck that can do unfair things (to be honest every top/medium tier Wild deck can do unfair things, otherwise they wouldn't be viable), but it's one of the decks that can do said unfair things with the highest frequency and as soon as turn 3.

    I never called Darkglare Warlock a mindless deck, but it having a high skill ceiling doesn't mean that it's any less unfair. You seem to confuse between piloting skills and unfairness/strength.

    Btw I've been trying to compete myself.

    Despite a considerable amount of runs, the best one so far has been an 8-3 in Casual with Neo's Miracle Priest.

    Here's the proof (both starting and final deck).

    Hey there - thanks for creating a profile and joining this challenge!

    I am happy that you were enjoying our usual Duels content, and even more that you decided to step forward :)

    For the submission, no worries: we create a set of rules because we don't want anyone to exploit the system at the expense of other users. Yes, we ask for a deck list screenshot at the beginning of the run, but you literally posted all the replays of your run, which I consider equivalent of a proof if not even stronger.

    Also, congratulations: you've currently taken the lead of this challenge!

    Nope: I actually have some more challenge ideas myself, so in case no one will be able to hit the jackpot, I'll pick the next one myself.

    To  be honest, my answer from earlier was a bit messy (I just woke up lol) - I definitely confused two different topics.

    You can potentially win a challenge without needing to hit 12 wins.

    You need to win a challenge with 12 wins in order to suggest the next theme.

     

    Sorry again for the confusion!
