    And I have to say: he's doing a pretty damn good job so far.

    Especially when you have to scroll down to click it.

    I think that being able to go directly to the completed achievement instead of looking for it would be a nice QoL improvement.

     

    But yeah, the "mark all" kind of solves the problem.

    So the meme is born.

    Yeah some of the titles are really cool and well thought - it clearly shows that some of the devs are deepl into memes.

    I like this concept: I've played Exotic Mountseller in several decks (even in Druid back in May 2019, way before it was popular), but since DMF I didn't touch the card. Nazmani Bloodweaver and Palm Reading are actually great addition to this strategy and will surely help the deck to stand out. Also, big props for finding a useful place for a garbage card like Whispers of EVIL lol

    Now all we have to hope is that Shaman's early game pressure will be hammered down by the nerfs, and then this deck will have more chances.

     

    Anyways, good job!

    If I'm not mistaken, you have 25% chance to get Grand Totem Eys'or from Totemic Power when overloaded.

    Azure Drake is really tearing the meta apart Kappa

    I think this is the easiest way to update my progresses toward the golden/1k portraits.

    Rogue (+50) - I haven't enjoyed the class since the beginning of the Year of the Phoenix; the only exception was Weapon Rogue with [Hearthstone Card (Self-Sharpening knife) Not Found], but Zephrys the Great is a hard counter.

    Priest (+612) - I love the class: I find interesting and enjoyable meme decks too.

    Hunter (+45) - Deathrattle Hunter is bad and Face Hunter is not very interesting...

    Mage (+143) - Looks like I played a lot of No Minion Mage. I played some Elemental Mage too, but it's not as good as I'd wish.

    Paladin (+65) - Murloc Paladin is not interesting, but Lothraxion the Redeemed awakened my desire to play the class and therefore I spent some time playing Standard Dude Paladin with decent success.

    Shaman (+79) - Played a bit of Totem Shaman (good but very highrolly) and a lot of Highlander Shaman (very bad but cool). Just as last year I didn't touch Evolve Shaman, I won't do it this year either. Fuck Evolve.

    Warrior (+44) - Menagerie Warrior and... that's it.

    Warlock (+54) - I tried some ZooLock back in May, but since the nerf to Imprisoned Scrap Imp I have never touched the class.

    Druid (+225) - I crafted Ysera, Unleashed, Malfurion the Pestilent and Ultimate Infestation and jammed a lot of Jade Druid in Wild. I like the class: I wish I discovered it sooner.

    Demon Hunter (+139) - lots of memes, never a top tier list. I'm currently playing Menagerie Demon Hunter with Zai, the Incredible for double N'Zoth, God of the Deep.

    Yeah Edwin is a big offender right now, but with the Evergreen overhaul in 3 months I suspect he'll be touched.

    Personal predictions

    Boggspine Knuckles's cost increased to 6 mana.

    Something will be touched for Rogue (Foxy Fraud?) and Warrior too.

     

    I am expecting some Wild changes too, but you never know about that format.

    It basically indicates how good the CN player thinks these decks are. Nothing fancy: just a personal opinion from a very good player.

    That's a cool cardback. Glad I'll have it in my collection.

    I am having huge success on ladder (something like 35% winrate, but let's not be too meticulous) with Menagerie Demon Hunter.

    How does it feel to be wrong now, huh?

    There's no shame in what you did: Flux is the one that usually posts these reminders, so it is fair to think about him.

     

    But now Flux should eat at the very least some shoelaces.

    They probably foresaw a meta dominated by Highlander Hunter and decided to proactively change something there too.

    I would not be surprised to see Dinotamer Brann's nerf reverted in 4 months.
