For the third time in a row I got a very poor opening session (in both numbers and names), which makes me really sad since I was really looking forward to get some good stuff
100 packs
5 Legendaries: Flik Skyshiv, Waxadred, Veranus, [Hearthstone Card (Mindflayer Kaarhj) Not Found] and Chenvaala (unfortunately not even one of the neutrals, which were the ones I was aiming for)
If you play Wild you have a chance to get some good cards without spending a lot of gold (imagine pulling something like Kazakus or Aya Blackpaw).
If you don't play Wild you'll get quite a lot of dust for little gold. Let's say you get your legendary at the 10th pack of every past expansion: for 1000 gold you earn 1 legendary (400), 2 epics (200) let's say 10 rates (200), 1 golden common (50) and 36 regular commons (180), for a total of 1030 dust. Not bad!
I really like this card: unfortunately I wasn't around back in the day, but if I have the change to get her in an adventure run I almost always go for her.
It's a shame Priest didn't get as much Lackey support as Rogue, Shaman and Warlock: since the beginning of the year we just got EVIL Conscripter and Whispers of EVIL. I guess we can say the same about Warriors but ehh...
On the other hand, since Anduin doesn't have his own Heistbaron Togwaggle/[Hearthstone Card (Dark Pharaoh Tekhan) Not Found] type of card, it's good to have so few Lackey cards: in this way, you can receive support for other archetypes during the expansions.
But still, I can't say I really like where the class ended up: the only clear win conditions seem to be Divine Spirit/Inner Fire and Mass Resurrection shenanigans, which are not satisfying at all. I guess I played too much Mind Blast Priest with sweet cards like Shadowreaper Anduin and Duskbreaker (God I miss those games), but I yeah, I hope you got the point.
I'd like to hear some other opinions now that we're talking about new cards and new possible strategies: maybe I'm wrong or maybe I'm just seeing one side of the coin, who knows. Fate Weaver is a card that revamps my desire to play Priest for sure.
it surely is a letdown when you pay for something and later on everyone gets it for free.
To be fair no one paid for Tyrande: it was a gift included in Amazon Prime, so if you happened to have it (and let's be honest: you don't have Amazon Prime for a HS skin) then you could have claimed it. Moreover, even if you suggest to make her available in the same conditions, now you can have a free month of Prime, so it's just easier to give her away for free.
But I really want to make this clear: Tyrande was a gift limited to some countries and no one directly paid for her.
On the other hand (just so you get the situation I'll use the example you wrote in your comment), Lazul was a skin tied with an 80 $ bundle which was limited in time, so giving her away for free would be unfair; but I wouldn't see anything wrong if they just put her in the new store for the usual price, maybe after a few expansions though
1) I really can't understand how you can't understand those are same.
2) You can't obtain if you don't have a credit card and free-trial membership.
3) Also, I know other guys in my friendlist who lives in those countries and normally don't use Twitch prime but got it just because of Tyrande skin.
4) I am just saying that the way how Blizzard did is wrong for people who obtained this skin before. Make it available to all but make its hero power non-golden for example, that's a way.
5) There are so much ways to make it available as making people who owns the skin happy but Blizzard did this in wrong way again.
1) I can't understand it because they're not the same. We can say that you even cheated ("I just used a VPN and fake address to be able to obtain Tyrande") and it costed you because you wanted that skin so much, but I'm not here to talk about people's behaviors, whether correct or not. Let's just talk about the facts. This event came in a certain time and (again, unless you want to do some shady shit) in certain places: in order to get Tyrande, you had to be an HS player (for example, Twitch Prime gives you so many gifts for games I couldn't care less), you had to live in a certain country and you had to have Amazon Prime (or being in a free trial). This is nothing but a discriminatory promotion (yeah, it's a word that doesn't fit this subject at all, but I hope you got the point), which penalized players, let's say, from Greece that were playing the game at the time and even had a Prime sub. It was clear that who thought this event didn't figure out Tyrande would have got so much success. That's why, when making a promotion, now Blizz tends to lock skins behind a paywall, so that no one will claim them afterwards (see the Thunder King).
On the other hand, Lazul (with Rastakhan, Neltharion, Elise and so on) are obtainable only if you pay loads of money: there's no other way around, since they're not part of a promotion with a partner. You want them? Take your wallet and give it to Blizz. In this case you spent your money for that sole purpose and so people shouldn't get those skins for free. Will they return in the future? Maybe, but only behind a paywall, which is how things should be.
Tyrande being a gift coming from a partnership means that, with her, you even got a month of Amazon Prime (which was the ultimate goal of the promotion after all). If you paid for something that even at that time could have been free just because you wanted it no matter what (shady shit) then it's normal that now you're butthurt. I'd be too. But that's not Blizzard's fault.
2) we are almost in 2020, c'mon man do you really want to hit me with that argument? You don't have access to a credit card (yours, your parents',...) but you can play HS? C'mon maaaan
3) People doing shady things doesn't make them less shady.
4) So you want like different skins for a single skin? Did I get it right? Cause if it's so it's fucking dumb.
5) Does that mean that Blizz should make people that will obtain the skin in one or two days less happy just to make those who got it before happier? It's a fucking GIF in a game bro, calm down. You want to be exclusive at other people's sake, which I have to say is pretty sad, if not pathetic.

Nerfs are coming tomorrow (?)
Me just after opening 4 Dragon's Pack: "Fuck, I wanted some Fate Weavers!"
Me just after a few days of DoD meta: "Gimme dat sweet sweet dust baby!"
Yeah I agree with you: Flik Skyshiv is one hell of a hard counter.
Luckily for me I've always been to the offender's side until now :)
To be fair I meet a shit ton of Shamans no matter what I play.
Remember that 10 (even 20) games aren't a big enough sample to get conclusions from.
No Scion of Ruin? That card is sooo good, even without the Galakrond buff. I wonder why many people don't consider it
Yeah I agree, some series were really cool and fun to watch (Deck Doctor, This Week at Omni, Omnistone, random collabs,...).
Too bad, even more because the personalities were top notch, but we'll see how things will develop
I got 5 of those: here grab a couple *throws*
This Brawl is cool, but I really was expecting a Brawliseum
For the third time in a row I got a very poor opening session (in both numbers and names), which makes me really sad since I was really looking forward to get some good stuff
100 packs
5 Legendaries: Flik Skyshiv, Waxadred, Veranus, [Hearthstone Card (Mindflayer Kaarhj) Not Found] and Chenvaala (unfortunately not even one of the neutrals, which were the ones I was aiming for)
22 Epics (ZERO FUCKING GOLDENS it's statistically possible but what the fuck dude, 3 Ramming Speed, 4 Dragon's Pack and 3 Lightforged Crusader)
7 Golden commons
6 golden rares
I really feel bad since my last pack opening was exactly a year ago, but what can we do right
Wait, are you gonna use the 1k Rexxar instead of the Golden one
I think it would be worth in both case.
If you play Wild you have a chance to get some good cards without spending a lot of gold (imagine pulling something like Kazakus or Aya Blackpaw).
If you don't play Wild you'll get quite a lot of dust for little gold. Let's say you get your legendary at the 10th pack of every past expansion: for 1000 gold you earn 1 legendary (400), 2 epics (200) let's say 10 rates (200), 1 golden common (50) and 36 regular commons (180), for a total of 1030 dust.

They got delivered in EU too
I take that as a big compliment ;)
I really like this card: unfortunately I wasn't around back in the day, but if I have the change to get her in an adventure run I almost always go for her.
Your time may have come my friend
Exactly this. That's why Shadowreaper Anduin felt so good in my opinion.
I don't know, maybe it's me asking for something that Priest cannot get and I should just change class, but ehh... feelsbadman
It's a shame Priest didn't get as much Lackey support as Rogue, Shaman and Warlock: since the beginning of the year we just got EVIL Conscripter and Whispers of EVIL. I guess we can say the same about Warriors but ehh...

Can a mod like block this thread already before it gets out of hand?
Please we're reaching remarkable levels of cinge over here
