So I generally have my own "rule" where I'll stop spending gold 1 month after expansion release. So I started saving gold from the 1st of May. I also didn't buy the mini-set and only opened cards from saved up packs. Also had like 10 tavern tickets that I went to town on in Duels and got some good results which would probably be around ~1.3k gold if I had to guess. Can't think of anything else really, just started saving gold "early", 3 months to be exact.
Then again, this is that awkward moment I realized I did a typo 😅 it's 10.5k, not 105 🤦♀️
Quite the surprising top 10 list. Impending Catastrophe isn't there which makes me think most players don't know how scary it'll be or they didn't watch the theorycrafting streams xD
It's great that this "not enrage" package for Warrior fits perfectly with Frenzy and many Barrens cards. Almost as if it was Frenzy 2.0. The enrage Barrens warrior was pretty good for it's time so we might see it again
Sunken City rewards track has been the track with the most XP I've earned, sitting at ~206 with the Pass and a big lump of 105k gold. I'm considering going completely F2P this expansion as I haven't bought any pre-orders and the Castle Nathria Tavern Pass doesn't look as rewarding this time. Also got a mixture of 51 packs saved up and ready to open so that'll be a good 156 packs on launch day.
Only card I'm really excited about is Kryxis the Voracious coz who doesn't enjoy a 4 mana 7/7 that you can cheat out and draw 3 more cards?! Yup, only talking about deathrattle DH and excited to play the archetype again.
Not really sold on the Relics tbh, probably need to see the archetype in action first but right now it seems too slow.
Same as Hedge Maze, Vile Library will only see play if the whole Implock archetype is powerful, which it might be considering how everyone is worried about Impending Catastrophe. I do appreciate Blizzard making an attempt to bring Zoolock back and looking forward to playing a lot of imps!
One thing about Imp King Rafaam, is it really worth slotting in cards like Fiendish Circle? I'm sure there's enough "good" imps in standard that you can forfeit the 1/1s
Out of all the classes, I'm most looking forward to playing druid, purely thanks to Topior the Shrubbagazzor and his insane effect. He can literally fit into any druid archetype coz druid mainly uses nature spells.
On Hedge Maze though, I have a good feeling it'll see little to no play in standard just coz there's not enough support.
Quite a lot of grindy achievements here. 60 out of 72 achievements require multiple games and can be seen as "grindy". Curiously, each class got 1 achievement that you can complete in 1 game and we require to own 11 specific legendary minions to complete the above achievements.
Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but I've had that damned Stormwind quest almost* every week for the past month. Depends on my mood if I complete it, but most times it's an instant reroll... into the Win 5 games in TB, Arena, Duels etc
Glad to see it's been removed coz quests have definitely become the ugly step sister in HS.
I bought the last 2 tavern passes (FAV and Sunken City) but this one I'm probably gonna pass coz the extra 2 golden epics don't make up for the reduced number of skins. Also it's a bad epic that will probably only see play in Arena, so that makes my decision a lot easier.
I've always savored the pack opening experience. I will always hover over each card to see if it has that golden glow then freak out like a fan girl from the excitement. Have had some entertaining fireside gatherings where everyone has to take a shot of alcohol if anyone opens a legendary. Quite fun to say the least but this does increase pack opening time to about 2 hours.
Will continue doing the same for Murder at Castle Nathria launch. Hoping to open Topior the Shrubbagazzor and feel like I've won the jackpot 🤩
Thanks for this heads up! Wouldn't have known about this as I hardly check social media. So funny that Kripp is playing Sire Denathrius. It's gonna be a chuckle
Love this card. Probably my 2nd favorite card this expansion. The deckbuilding restriction is a bit rough coz that means you can't run tech cards like weapon or location removal. But it also has great synergy with Lightray and Elitist Snob.
Also, those 0 cost Colossals will be quite tough to face and will probably end the game.
Damn that's a strong effect, considering you can easily get 0 cost Colossals. As for the deckbuilding restriction, can't remember if there's any Bad Luck Albatross type cards in standard atm, but having no neutrals is a bit rough if you need certain tech cards like Viper
Yogg praised me!
And this was a standard pack!

May Yogg bless your pack openings and lets hope YOU find out who killed Sire Denathrius

Will we get card reviews from OoC? Always enjoy reading those

Most likely all her hero powers will be redesigned coz that particular hero power of Toki's would definitely break the mode.

Finally have our Among Us reference
I'm a sucker for consistency, so 5 stars...
