I somehow lost the hand axe along the way ... 20 minutes wasted. how is that even possible?!

Edit: Second try went smooth until i mixed up the enchanter and the alchemist.. my head ..

Thanks a lot! 
I love the mode but the constant deckbuilding is a real barrier for me.
Those articles are pretty much the only thing that keeps me going. 

It's not that I don't like tinkering around ... it's just ... every time? No thank you.
Even worse, when your idea doesnt work out for whatever reason, you can't just fix it like in standard but are stuck in the run for another hour.
And after that you have to play probably a couple more duel runs just to get to play the class of your chosing again.. 

I actually managed to kill a bunch of people with it as an inclusion in my taunt druid!

So satisfying to know that you just fucked up their achievment points.
A worthy sacrifice ...

So there is a lot of weaving going on in Priest lately with the Veilweaver-bloodweaver-Rally combo that generates tons of spells and discounts them.
It sure can be pretty fun to generate spells and sling those cards with multiple weavers on the board but I see the same "misplay" again and again.

Do you guys agree that playing a Renew with a single veilweaver only to generate a random card is a misplay? You essentially trade a card, you consciously put in your deck for a random one. Seems like a bad deal to me.

There are obviously exceptions:

- Multiple veilweavers
- Desperation for a clear
- Lots of spare mana with a light hand

But i've seen way to many priests throw away their renews for the sake of a random card.

Thijs is on fire

I’m all in for more cosmetics but please don’t touch the game board too much!

How about watermarks on the play field ? They cannot distract to much from the cards obviously but as I imagine it, they could blend in really well. 

Also, I’m surprised that titles didn’t get implemented with achievements. The possibility to show off big achievements with a cool title in the name would make it less painful to grind sigil DH..

Yea well that was essentially 50 bonus gold per week. 
But let’s be honest, we liked it because of the free stuff, nothing else. Gameplay wise I much prefer getting pushed into other modes by the weekly quests.

+ it‘s a pain for people that actually try to avoid this quest

Except you unlock new cosmetics earlier witch is worth the hassle to me. This is especially relevant when buying the tavern pass.

I‘m surprised how much I like it. Grinded it for 5 hours straight when it came out. The dynamic is so different from everything we know today and the simplicity of cards definitely has it’s charm. 
The predictability is a huge bonus imo that makes decisions way more important.

I‘ll probably lose interest when Barrens is out but I wouldn’t mind to grind to legend over the next couple seasons.

Same thing for me. The worrying part is that the reward casket is showing my wild rank as well. It would be a shame to get cheated on the end of season reward

If you had below 1000 wins before the patch, the Duels/Arena wins you earned before that were added up to 1000 (for some reason).

I think there is more to it. I got over 100 wins for warrior despite it being over 1k. Also, 2 classes surpassed the 1k mark with the patch and didn’t stop at the exact 1000, while 2 others did

Edit: They actually fixed that! I got even more wins accounted for. Almost 500 mage wins lol

I got two exacties as well! Something must have gone wrong there..

I just launched the 20.0 patch and got 4! 1000 win portraits!
My best guess is, all the past arena wins have been added to the counter? 
Mage, Paladin and Rogue got the biggest boost and those were the most picked classes back in the day.
I'm not complaining but i gotta say, this was a little to unexpected.
Hopefully this isn't a bug?

Pleasent surprise!!!

I migh actually pick up the KC preorder one!

On a different topic, whne will the patch launch today? 
Probably 7pm CET/  2pm EST/ 11am PST right ?

Can't wait ... 

One of those decks that puts Crystal gem (+1 Mana on your first 2 turns) to great use! Insane swings early on. The consistent HP on turn 1 snowballs many games and wins some as early as of turn 3 or 4.

I only buy the big bundle and completed the last two sets. 
This is definitely possible without being a whale.

Wellll that’s late. Gives me some omega destroyer vibes who was on average active earlier and better stats/effect for the cost. Still didn’t see that much play without Boom. 
Warlock might get a cycle thing going to push the card but there are way to many games in wich this fella is just a 3 mana 3/3. G

It was just a matter of time before we see such a mechanic. I’m curious to see if HS is slow enough for this type of effect. If so, this allows some interesting gameplay from both sides of the board! Seems like a solid card. DH is just missing the fitting archetype

Midrange warrior is not really a thing though and it’s probably not impactful enough for control (even though the taunt is great to stop Aggro!)

How about an aggressive weapon warrior? This could be great to snowball games
