    Beat the second plague first try, got my 3 packs. Opened them right after, hoping for at least 1 golden card, considering i hit the legendary pity timer about 4 packs ago...

    Guess what? Golden Elise the Enlightened! Guess i wil try/make out a Quest OTK Druid deck now.

    Also managed to beat it on the first try as reno. I had the heal 2 health at the end of your turn passive, and the passive that gives your Minions +1 health and taunt. Trust me those treasures + Frost Lich Jaina is Nuts! Never had any Trouble staying alive.

    I don't remember what my treasures were, had some pretty bad ones.

    I pre-ordered it. I dislike buying stuff with real money, but i don't have enoegh recources. Also i'm primarely saving my resources to unlock more chapters for the One night in karazhan adventure. (Didn't know i had that advanture for the longest time, apparantly played chapter 1 and after that never bought any other chapter of it....)

    (For those who don't know, if you BEAT chapter 1 of any of the old adventures, BEFORE they rotated out of standard, you can still play buy more chapters with gold, instead of real money.)

    Just had such a close wild match, i was playing  Renolock against a mech hunter.

    Turn 5: I had 1hp left, managed to coin into Reno, managed to barely hold on with like 5 hp remaining at turn 10. Played Bloodreaver and just barely won the game, it was so close, despite him keeping me below 10 hp for such a long time, and of course topdecking perfect cards. That was such a good/close game.

    My favorite moment was when i was playing Quest Highlander Mage against a Murloc Paladin, he played Fishflinger and it gave me Sir Finley of the Sands. I could tell that he was so confused when my heropower changed from deal 1 dmg (Quest not done yet, it was like turn 3) to Tank Up! (Gain 4 armor). It was hilarious!

    If only they changed the way mana reduction worked. They should have made it so if you conj. a 1 mana giant, it will give you 2 random 1 costs. This would make Luna's remain strong in big spell decks (Maybe still nerf to 6), but make it so Conjurer's Calling doesn't work with it anymore.

    i'm using a laptop, with windows 10 version 1903.

    I generally delete the comment if i'm too frustrated to keep trying to post it fully. (and i don't like leaving a half-finished comment in some thread. I don't want to bother people with it.)

    Okay just made a comment in the fiv card nerfs coming next weak thread and it deleted everything.

    Here is the link: <span style="background-color: #212528

    So i'm about to post some comments on some threads, but after i click "Leave comment", it keeps automaticly deleting like half my post or sometimes even everything but the first sentence. Anyone else having this problem?

    I'm commenting and stuff on Microsoft Edge, haven't tried chrome yet to see if the problem is also there. it's generally a very consistent problem. Mostly have it when i comment, but whenever i edit the comment and re-type everything (And copy the text in case it gets deleted again) it oftenly works correctly again, and posts the entire comment. (But again, sometimes i'm editing the same comment like 10 times and it still doesn't work/deletes everything)

    Anyone else having this problem? I just hope i'm not repeating something that's already known.

    That's a hard question, considering i kinda made this deck because of the quest.

    After some thinking, i came up with some good suggestions. Here they are:

    Sandbinder: This can pull Mountain Giant, Zephrys the Great, Cloud Prince And Mana Cyclone. (Altho i use this instead of Acolyte of Pain

    King Phaoris: Forgot to put this in the guide as one of the possible cards to include. Personally don't have it but it might have a good place in any deck with a lot of spells.

    Golden Scarab: This is also a decent card. Might be a good addition.

    I might update my guide in a bit, considering i have done a lot of experimenting with all kinds of cards.

    Free Legendary: Hack the System, only 1 golden common & rare. Pretty Unlucky, considering i'm really close to most of these legendary pity timers. At least i got enoegh dust to craft Reno the Relicologist for my highlander quest mage deck. Having a lot of fun with it!

    Also i have seen some people mention that Zephrys the Great doesn't work with Auchenai Soulpriest

    So me and a friend tried it out and sure enoegh, my friend had 6 health left, played Zephrys, i had 2 mana remaining after playing Soulpriest and then Zephrys, so i expected a Holy Light but nope. just some random garbage

    My favorite non-legendary is either Dune Sculptor or Flame Ward (Can't Choose, there both so good/fun!)

    I play a LOT of highlander quest mage, and here are my answers based on personal experience.

    #1 "Is it Viable in Ladder": Yes it is, it might not be overpowered with enormous winrates or anything. It has plenty of bad/good matchups. Examples: Bad Matchup: Quest Rogue/Shaman. Good Matchup: Quest Druid

    #2: Yeh. Bold Statement: I think this might be the most fun archetype to play in this expansion. Even when i lose i don't care because i had fun.

    #3: Zephrys the Great is a must have for any highlander deck. It's that strong.

    Reno the Relicologist is not a must have. I found that it's only strong in the situation where the opponent had 1 big minion sometimes something small. Other times multiple spells are better, and often Magic Dart Frog and Meteorologist outshine it. (From my experience) Also you can easely discover Reno from all kinds of mage cards.

    Edit: Had to retype #2 and #3 because that part automaticly deleted itself after first post... weird.

    I watched the vid before seeing this post. (Still happy to see someone mention it) It was very educational and helped me at least understand some of the mechanics better. Zephrys the Great might be one of the more/most skill taking cards, as you need to manipulate him into giving you the card your looking for, or you need to understand the combo Zephrys tries to give you, as Zephrys often actually outsmarts the player by giving stuff they didn't even think about. Such a cool card and definatly my favorite card in the game so far! Altho when i play zephrys the perfect card is most often Tirion Fordring

    Reno/Highlander/Singleton Quest mage is so much fun! easely the most fun deck archetype of the expansion. It's fun to play and shreds Control Warriors! Most fun i have had in a long time! (Last time i had this much fun was tesspionage in Boomsday Project Expansion, back when it was still a more control focused meta)

    I have also been playing some Quest Hunter and Quest Priest, Hunter is just plain trash i.m.o, but Priest is decent. I feel like the Control Res Quest Priest might be the stronger version tho. (Not complaining, rather another Control Deck for more diversity, than just another aggro deck.)

    I unfortunatly do not have a rogue quest yet, but i might craft it after like a week, once the meta has settled. (If it is still good, but i think it will be good)

    Also Highkeeper RA Rogue is a BLAST!

    Didn't get it either, my guess is that there is a timespan between them, comparable to the Fire Fest-EV.I.L Quests. My guess is that we wil receive one of them later today. and the third a day after that.
