Awful is in the eye of the beholder, and let's face it, ,there's a lot of cards that won't see play in constructed.

Best of the expensive cards?

[card]Activate the Obelisk[/card] -- It's not the main course, it's the awesome sauce that goes with almost any priest deck, giving it much better late game potential. The …

I tend to think the Uldum quest for priest is a condiment to a deck, not what it is built around.

We shall see.

I'm still debating 50 or 80. I had very good luck with a 50-pack buy last time, and I was not happy with how Rise of Shadows was looking. If it wasn't for Bomb Warrior or Control Shaman looking viable (and they were), I would've passed buying RoS and quit Hearthstone.

But at the last minute, I did buy …

Need polls and more forum tools to booster up the discussions.

The page does load up faster here, give it that.

Chef Nomi was a card I would consider in a Wild Reno Mage.

Six elementals in Frost Lich Jaina mode, and your opponent may have already spent their board clears just panicking over any elemental you get on the table.

Good for a brawl, or a meme trolling deck.

This expansion in particular has brought out better yank-the-combo cards than this though.

/Seems Blizzard is concerned about wild -- Quest Mage is the big threat there. But this card would be a longshot vs. that deck.

You won't see this often in Standard. Wild, another story.

Wild doesn't see Bomb Warrior (Big Priest, Quest Mage, Even and Control Shaman are all bad matchups for it, and those decks should remain to be the top of wild), so expect this funky wish card along with the Uldum-flavored Reno and Co. to be seen there where bombs …

Control Warlock can utilize some of the more aggressive cards (Tekahn in particular), but I have to agree, it's lacking something more than lackeys.

Portal Warlock didn't get anything other than more big targets to throw in the mix. Being able to generate more portal spells would help a lot for one of the more original decks we've seen.

If [card]Wild Bloodstinger[/card] becomes a thing, I wonder if [card]Hakkar, the Soulflayer[/card] will find a place again in Hearthstone.

Thanks for starting the corrupted blood count early!

Is Tekahn more of a fit for a control deck? Lackeys have their use here and there for Control Shaman, so I could see warlock decks trying their own way to utilize them for early and late game.

Seems like warlock has some cards that can go for both play styles. [card]EVIL Recruiter[/card] (another Uldum card) seemed …

Grandmummy.

For the artwork. Having had to take care of a dying parent (Hearthstone on the quiet breaks), it's a reminder of happier times.

Sad, yeah. C'est la vie.

First game: Rogue (me) vs. Mage, lost because of disconnect. Came in to see a board of elementals and my wide board gone. Mostly thieving rogue stuff and a mage with some elemental and unit copying synergies.

Second game: Mage vs. some sort of spell shaman. Dude gave up after Pocket Galaxy allowed me to put up several big …

Nice to get a body out of this, and it's a better one than the last turtle.

Situations I can see it:

1. I'm desperate for AOE spell.

2. This is the only big minion so far (maybe one or two others slipped by) and I could use my discount from Pocket Galaxy.

3. One big …

I've followed Big Priest for a while.

The foundation of the deck came from Brian Kibler, who made an all-out anti-aggro priest deck that excelled against trash decks in Un'Goro era. As you may point out, this is before the rez stuff comes in Knights of the Frozen Throne and Kobolds and Catacombs, but the survival mechanics that carry …

Shaman decks also do well against Big Priest, and I imagine next month we won't see many Big/Rez Priests (and demon rez/cube warlock decks) because of the new Shaman card that turns everything into murlocs.

I'm hoping Kazakus decks get popular again with the return of Reno and company in the new expansion, though I expect murloc paladin and …

For those afraid to leave Standard because of Big Priest being the scary deck of wild, mill decks wreck them.

Quest Mage is becoming a bigger threat now than Big Priest btw. 

Usually I have a Top 10 most wanted for legendaries and epics for the upcoming expansion. So far, nothing has made my list. :( The Big Four Heroes are pretty underwhelming.

This expansion has to bring back priest or slower warlock decks in standard, and I don't have my hopes up yet.

I almost didn't buy the last …

Stop promoting aggro vomit decks. Makes the ladder boring. Aggro is the poison that kills fun, and hurts the game.

Here's some decks I've found fun:

A clone-the-Leeroy finisher Priest (no Inner Fire reliance either!) by Zetalot ... nor is it handcuffed to win via Leeroy with the tricks up the Priest's sleeves and deck's mana curve.

I had to start in wild when I returned to Hearthstone at the release of One Night in Karazhan.

I first played the game for a month or so when Naxx was released. All I had was the Naxx set and a few classic cards.

Didn't play standard till like four or five months later (Gadgetzan era).

…

Wild currently has Odd Rogue back in vogue, and this helps it against Big Priest (which according to Tempo Storm, is no longer the big bad evil deck of wild anymore -- all hail our Quest Freeze Mage Cyclone and Even Shaman overlords).

Very few wild decks atm carrying weapon removal, in comparison to standard.

/It's also another …
