From what I seen quest paladin is worse than the old quest paladin.. It's just too fair compared to other decks. And the reborn minion are mostly just OK or passable...
I mean, they're completely different in what they're seeking to do. The only thing they have in common is that they're both quests.
My biggest concern is that you need play so many Reborn Minions, and you only have this expansion for a card pool of them, so you likely will need to play some sub-par reborn minions to be able to complete the quest in
Oh yeah - that is the biggest weakness of this quest by far. I don't expect this to be terribly good.
This seemed like a reasonable way to go forward. With so much sticky stuffs, buffs for that stuffs seemed like a way to win games. The deck largely lacks comeback mechanics, but I think the 3x different types of divine shield taunt buffs (Zilliax, Annoy-o, Blessing) should help with that. Obviously, a ton of cycle to get through your quest completion crap as quickly as possible.
I guess everybody agrees that this expansion's general power level is off the roof, perhaps even more so than KFT two years ago. What worries me in the most is that; in this sea of OP cards, warlock's cards are very weak in comparison. Supreme Archeology is a joke and is even worse than Lakkari Sacrifice. Tekhan is nice but unlike The Caverns Below, it requires to be drawn. Overall, I think Lackey support won't save zoo.
RIP warlock players.
I agree that Warlock didn't get as much as some other classes.
But Warlock's bigger problem this metagame wasn't that it was inherently bad. The meta just wasn't a good fit for it. Rogue, Warrior, and Mage's playing Freeze have been Zoo's nemeses since the beginning of the game, and they happened to be the best classes this time around.
That said, Zoo got some really good shit. Neferset Thrasher and Diseased Vulture are disgusting cards. Riftcleaver is also pretty busted.
The old site was bought from Curse and necroed by a new group of admins, while the old group led by Flux is now dedicated to this OOC site.
OOC is meant to be a brand new and better version of what was HearthPwn before.
And imo it is indeed already, if anything because this site is muuuch faster. And being fully owned by Flux, they can keep improving and adding stuff as they like.
This feels like it's (1) a rogue card; (2) a very specific anti-combo card. I don't think it replaces Blink Fox though - so I'm not sure how much this is played.
Is the beast tribe really worth making it harder to kill and losing 1 attack on the thing it summons.
You're comparing it to one of the best cards of all time. I mean, it still sees play in Wild - it's very unlikely they ever release a card that good again.
You mean best egg of all time? Because Nerubian Egg is nowhere near the best card of all time.
I didn't say 'THE BEST'. I said one of the best, and I stand by that.
Yes, and I said it's 'NOWHERE NEAR' that. It sees play in a tier 4 wild deck and that's all.
That's exactly the point. It is a card from 5 years ago that is still good enough to see some amount of play in wild. Do you know how many cards never see any fucking play in Wild? And how many more will never be played?
Who fucking cares anyway.
This is a standard card, and it's the best egg we've had in a while.

I'm excited to try something that looks like this. Probably my first deck I'll play
Kripp's deck works when everyone is theory crafting, and no one is running silence or transform, or even refined deck lists.
I'll admit, his deck was working a bit better than I'd have expected.

Interesting to see the different approaches we took to the deck. Yours is aiming for more handbuffs, and mine is more board buffs.
But a lot of out initial conclusions were the same: Cyrstology/Pride cycle package + Buffing things as the overall gameplan.

Crystology targets: Murmy, Temple Berserker, Micro Mummy
Salhet's Pride targets: Murmy, Loot Hoarder, Replicating Menace
I think one could consider cutting either Da Undatakah, or some manner of SN1P-SN4P & Replicating Menace in order to have a cleaner deathrattle pool.
There are also some cards that could be great options: Questing Explorer, Siamat, and Bone Wraith.

Agreed - the speed is so nice.
Da-yum
Hilariously, I don't think Rogue even needed this - but I'm not turning it away.

yes. that happened on stream
She's from the solo content. How fun!
Kind of an interesting semi-blood lust.
It's relevant bc of power creep.
I'm done derailing this thread now. Thnx.
I wonder if this is played outside of the quest.
The idea of somehow playing Hunter with Savage Roar as a hero power is pretty interesting.
But 20 minions is so many minions. A lot of those "double up" minions are going to be necessary.
Oh dang. That's pretty impressive.

Interesting in the Cyclone decks
