You enjoy it? Good for you. And yes, I know that Quest Warrior was played during the Un'Goro early Meta. But it was crap.
Also, its an Archetype that they've pushed before. Stolen Goods was MSoG as was I Know a Guy and cards like King's Defender were released in The Grand Tournament. You can go back to 2016 and see Taunt Warrior Decks. And they were shit.
So yeah. It took two OP Legendary Cards to make Taunt Warrior work. So why are they pushing it again?
It would be nice if they came up with something else.
Why? Why are Blizzard pushing an archetype that was questionable at its best and downright shit at its worst? It took two Legendary cards to make Taunt Warrior playable, both of them (Fire Plume's Heart and Baku the Mooneater) are now out of Standard. So what are Team 5 going to do? Release two more broken Legendary cards to make this Archetype viable?
Thank whatever Diety you worship that Team 5 are not pushing Mech Hunter so far this Expansion.
This is a good card. Three mana for three cards? Random yes, but Hunter Secrets are pretty good across the board, there are no bad Hunter Weapons at the moment in Standard (Wild is different ofc) and a random Beast for the synergy is pretty good too. Nice one.
It looks OK. Actually probably better in Standard than Wild because Wild has a pool of terrible minions to get. Standard less so. I like the artwork though. 🤔
10/10 Cute Factor. I'm crafting this Gold on day of release. Because I have to...
It'll work well early to mid game but spending 2 mana to make a 2/2 in the late game? I'm not so sure about that. Even with a great Deathrattle to copy I can't see it being worth it.
On the other hand I'd quite like to see some Neutral Support for the Highlander Playstyle. Reno Mage and Reno Warlock are really the only two decks that work efficiently, and Reno Mage isn't up to much at the moment.
I love the artwork. Reminds me of Dino Riders. Nice.
The stats are good for 6 Mana and the effect is OK, but Taunt Warrior never really worked last time so unless they release more cards to push the archetype I can't see it working this time either.
6/10 in Standard but a cautious 8/10 in Wild for the Memes.
I do have a Complete Collection in Wild and Standard and tend to just Meme around for the entire Season. As long as I keep up with the Expansions I'll be happy.
I have pre-ordered both Bundles and have enough money in my Blizzard Balance for another 120 Packs. So it looks like I'll be opening 250 packs on the 6th.
Impbalming seems solid. Destroy a Minion, gain three (slightly crap) minions that can be used for all sorts of shenanigans later.
Earthquake is bonkers good against Token and sticky Mech Boards but utter overkill against everything else. And also, Twisting Nether is the best AoE in the game. For sure... Maybe...
I would also like to add that the flavour text for Earthquake is going up there amongst my favourites. But I have a soft spot for that song anyway.
I'm not normally one to complain. But my last opponent can just fuck off. Turn Three and I had to go and answer my front door to collect a package. I come back and the Rope is burning. "Oh well", thinks I and play my card and end the turn.
My opponent, on the other hand, then spends every single turn doing what they need to do then letting the Rope burn all the way down. Every. Single. Turn.
Now look, whoever you are, I can normally ignore Ropers. I have other things I need to do as well. But fuck me sideways. When I let the Rope burn down because Real Life Shit happens do not think I've done that intentionally. And then proceed to do the same, even after I finish my turns in normal time and don't see the Rope again.
I do not agree. You just have to play different games. Good old single player games for example . Like Horizon Zero Dawn, God of war, Red dead redemption 2.
Not every game is a service game now. It's always your choice.
Good old Single Player Games with Microtransactions you mean? Like Red Dead 2, that is not a good choice for your argument there.
90% of the 'AAA' Games released these days cost upwards of $60-100 and have Microtransactions in them. That's just gross.
Anyway, this is fast becoming a topic for something else. Let's just say that you believe one thing and I believe another and leave it at that. That's the beauty of opinions.
And all these answers show pretty well, whats wrong these days in games.
There are barely any cards known thus far and the new keywords are refurbished old effects and yet ppl keep pre-ordering.
That is exactly why the pricing structure will never change. The game got more expensive every year and just because of one good expansion, ppl forget, that the complete previous HS year was mostly garbage.
I can understand why ppl still pay for packs, but at least wait until all the cards are revealed.
Why? If people are going to Pre Order then that's up to them. At the end of the day it's people like me, with a large chunk of disposable income every month, that keep the game free for everyone else that can't or won't pay for it. And yet people still complain..
What's wrong with modern gaming goes much, much deeper than a Pre Order Culture.
That's why I've refused to buy into this current generation of Consoles. There have been zero games released since the Xbone and the PS4 hit that made me want to go out and buy one. Not to mention the sleazy practices of companies like EA, Ubisoft, Konami and yes, Acti-Blizz.
Gone are the days of buying a game and having the whole thing available for you to peruse and play at your leisure.
Already have. Both of them. And I'll probably get another 60 packs just after release. Aside from Brightwing i have a Complete Collection of both Wild and Standard Cards and don't want to slip behind.
I only have two questions. Should I just buy both Pre Orders and get 130 packs, a new Hero, a new Card Back and two Golden Legendary Cards for £130 and should I craft Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron in double Golden to go with my Golden Renounce Darknesses?
I have a lot of golden legendaries, but I never crafted any of them. Instead, I dusted some (Kazakus, Onixya at least, maybe one more or two).
I prefer to craft 2 legendaries instead of 1 golden. IF there was a single card or two that I would have crafted golden, they would have been my favourite legendaries: Lord Jaraxxus and Cairne. As both aren't played anymore (the first is literally unplayable and it probably forever will be) I'm glad I never crafted them.
Exactly this. I always give my opponent the benefit of the doubt and always Greet them at the start of every game. If they start getting Emote Happy I'll squelch.
However, I have to admit to hitting the 'Wow' Button a lot when I'm about to beat a Big Priest. Because Big Priest players deserve it.

Stop it. Taunt Warrior is shit. Stop it.
Could be good. Could be great. We haven't seen the rest of the cards yet.
Can i just say something? That artwork is.... 🤢 Vomit inducingly bad

Ummmm... Harrison Jones is already a Neutral card? 🤔

This followed by Devolve could be hilarious...

I'm glad I beat you, but damn son....
No issues with the game itself, although Play Store keeps updating it every hour. It's annoying... Android User here.

Lordy that's quite sad.... 😔
I am debating with myself wether or not to just craft this in Golden, twice, and put it straight into my Casino Mage. Hmmmm..... 🤔
