Ok. Someone explain this scenario to me! I'm playing Highlander hunter. I set up a lethal situation by putting a couple of minions on board, Kill Command in hand, and a hero power for some overkill. I press End Turn button. My opponent intuitively understands the set up and throws down Khartut Defender and does some other irrelevent action before ending his turn. Its my turn now I get myself down to 6 mana then I play the 2 mana Zephyrs knowing full well that it should offer me a 4 mana Polymorph! Zephyrs offers me Hex instead! I now don't have lethal! I won the game a few turns later but WTF Zephyrs! Hex is almost never a better option than Polymorph.
The exact time frame or order of when I played certain games is a blur to me as it was so long ago. At some point I played Warcraft 2 and 3 and enjoyed them for their single player lore, characters, and plots. I was at a point where I had started moving on from mostly Nintendo exclusive games which dominated my childhood, and I got heavily attached to a little known RPG series called Final Fantasy.
I played Final Fantasy 4-10 (American Numbers) and X-2 multiple times each and loved just about every minute. I considered myself a completionist at the time and finished almost 100% of the side quests and item gathering in most of the games (Fuck Blitzball though. I wasn't grinding through that shit). A MMORPG was a turn off for me because an ever-expanding story would be seemingly difficult to keep up with. Final Fantasy 12 was a huge disappointment for me. It felt and looked like a MMORPG even though I had never played one before. 13 also sucked and I quit Final Fantasy at that point.
I had played Final Fantasy so much that I burnt out on it. By the time WOW came out, I knew that I did not want to get addicted to another game like Final Fantasy that I would never be able to experience even 75% of what it had to offer. I certainly did not want to pay a monthly fee on top of that for the addiction or spend a lot of money on any one game so I swore I would never play it.
Then one day Hearthstone got popular, and I noticed it had some of the characters from Warcraft 3. Curiosity got the best of me eventually so I got on the train more than halfway through The Grand Tournament. It was all under control though because I was going to be FTP arena type player and not get addicted or spend money.
Fast forward to today: I have spent more money trying to stay current in Hearthstone than I care to admit, and I sit here wondering if maybe a past WOW addiction would have been the better option!
Does anyone know how to get multiple card packs from the shop screen using in-game gold? I've seen Kripp do it where he types in the amount he wants instead of having to go back and forth between the shop screen and pack opening screen one pack at a time. Thanks in advance.
Glad to see so many people are excited. I knew there would be a few negative Nancy’s Nemsy’s.
I’m counting down the days as we speak. My girlfriend seems unimpressed with the price of thepreorder. I don’t think she understands true value for money. A regular quote from her ladyship: ‘that could have been spent on X’.
(Replace X with random household item, for example: bread bin).
It took me a little while but that reveal stream and card dump really won me over! Tell your girlfriend if the bread bin isn't golden and of at least epic quality, then it isn't worth it.
It is probably not a bug. It is likely they did this on purpose to give you a small piece of the new expansion. They have done things comparable in the past with Marin the Fox and Archmage Vargoth. While the latter cards are legendary, at least it is something to tide you over for the next few days until release. Also worth noting is that they implemented this on the 2nd day of the season as opposed to the 31st day of the season so nobody gets butthurt about their ranking!
I also craft for the golden generation (usually minions more than spells or weapons). King Phaoris, Zephrys the Great, and Elise the Enlightened are my tier 1 golden crafts for their extra golden card generation. I will be crafting these 3 day 1 so hopefully I don't receive 1 of them as the freebie.
I'm sort of with you Bersak. I am enjoying the content, but I don't like the streamers trying to find the optimal builds and synergies. I think maybe Blizzard could have taken more control over the deck building process in a manner similar to deck recipes. A lot of these streamers are playing decks too similar to each other that it starting to feel like the same old ladder process. I am sick of corrupt the waters already. There are not enough Highlander decks being played and it's boring to watch the deck building screens.
This is one my favorite cards from this set. You can get this off of Vex Crow. It creates a decision point about whether or not to use all your mana. It is a good feeling anytime the game can get around the curvestone label. Cards like this can change the way games play out from the usual ladder experience. Unspent mana should have been in the game a long time ago.
This is an auto include in the paladin quest. It is one of the best reborn minions revealed so far, but that quest still needs better options if it is going to be competitive.
I can see this being used is in a highlander deck, with prismatic lens, or as an activator for eggs; but that's about it. This card looks a lot better in Arena than in standard as well.
This feels like a more fair version of [Hearthstone Card (The Cavern Below reward) Not Found], but it also has that Prince Keleseth feel to it. If you draw it early it is great but if you don't you're going to struggle. Like RandomGuy said above, It looks to be midrange considering all the below average stated minions it synergizes with. I don't think aggro wants this. I am very happy with all the midrange support in this expansion so far.

I have the same problem.
Thanks.

Anka, the Buried, is tier 2. I might craft it but probably not. Tier 3 includes Raid the Sky Temple, Hack the System, Making Mummies, Dinotamer Brann, Bazaar Burglary, and Sir Finley of the Sands. There is some extra golden value here but not enough to craft. These 2 tiers are what I want from the bundled free golden legendaries. I have pretty poor luck with the bundled legendaries so I will probably get 2 cards not on this list

I haven't found too much success with Anomalus or Hex Lord Malacrass. Siamat is an elemental with rush and windfury for Jaina.

This seems insane in wild considering Greater Healing Potion almost single handedly completes the quest. RIP Surrender to Madness; We hardly knew ye.

Nice to see a decent and theoretically viable 'start of turn' card. Does this card keep any enchantments when you redraw it?
Edit: Nevermind my question. It obviously does not keep enchantments.
Note to self: Do not Conjurers Calling your own 5-cost minions under any circumstances.
Treachery decks could at least consider Bittertide Hydra and Defile at 10 mana as a meme finisher. Mortuary Machine is just too awful even for those decks.
At least the existence of this card is a big nerf to Omega Assembly
Discovering this off of Boom is just disgusting. It doesn't even need handbuff.

I am looking forward to seeing the videos on Youtube of druids milling priests when Northshire Cleric is on board with a bunch of damaged minions.
I agree. If we are supposed to be swinging repeatedly at minions instead of face then this new weapon better have Lifesteal.
