    Update your client, restart the game. I have no problem creating a deck with the event cards.

    Not again ... lol. Havent played any token spawners yet, so dunno if it covers everything or this card only. Might be a problem with Basic set being gone and shaman HP tokens being flagged as basic set or something, tho it should at least summon Totem Golem if nothing else.

    It was nerfed September 2016 to be "Summon a basic totem", so Totem Golem would not be in the pool.  Only the four basic totems from hero power.

    Which is weird... if you play with Shaman hero power right now does it not summon a totem either?  What about SHR with Paladin?

    Ah, my bad. All this "bring the old cards back" gave me a brain fart :)

    Yeah, it seems like they deactivated your cards in the collection manager, only the event copies are shown now. I had few golden legendaries for example, im "forced" to play regular versions. Haha, not a big deal, but kinda silly.

    Not yet, but definitely something that we want to implement.

    Ice Lance is better (faster animations = more casts) instead of Cinderstorm. Also iv found the deck to misfire sometimes, if you dont draw enough draw cards, since you are cycling only 5 cards per turn with bad ordering, but that happens rarely.

    Quote From Duke

    Thx again to the team for the reminder. I´d be even more thankful for another advice on the crafting.

    As I very seldom play Arena, what´s the favoured classes atm and which are the most op cards to pick?

    This will be very hard to say once the event begins because:

    • Dual class arena
    • Probably no Basic + Classic set

    Things will get very interesting, when the classes lose access to their basic tools that gave them the foundation every time. For the first few days, possibly longer, it will just be one huge experiment to try and find what works. And it might not work for long, if ppl would keep experimenting and what works would shift.

    That being said, i would imagine that going for a tempo deck with solid early curve, if you can get it, should still be a good allround option.

    Got to 10/2 not sure if I should try for 12 I got Reno and siamat and quite a good tempo core :/

    Definitely worth playing out, especially if you think you have a strong deck. You can always start a run and leave it at 0-0 / 0-2. Not even a question for someone who plays arena regularly, just play out your run, dont worry about it and just start the new one in time.

    Quote From ArngrimUndying

    As someone who does not play arena, can anyone who understands the mode more than I confirm:

    It says "To ensure that players have a chance to try out this devilish dual-class deck-building dress-up party, weeks 1 and 2 of this event will award Arena Tickets on login!"

    So is the proper way to do this: 1) Start a run today, leave @ 2 losses - 2) Get 1st free ticket tomorrow, leave @ 2 losses - 3) Get 2nd free ticket next week, play it out - 4) Play out the "comped" ticket for today's run whenever.

    Is that the correct way to do this to maximize runs one only buying 1 ticket - 4 entries? 

    You honestly dont even need to do that, if you dont need more SoU packs and want to get few more from the new expansion, since Arena Tickets dont expire, so:

    1. Start a run before the event begins and leave it at x-2 = 1st Arena Ticket (for 1st retired run).
    2. Log into the game during 1st week = 2nd Arena Ticket (free).
      • Redeem your rewards for retired run (see FAQ to not get confused about this part).
      • You now have 2 Arena Tickets saved up.
    3. Start a run and leave it at x-2.
      • This will cost you 1 Arena Ticket.
      • You now have 1 Arena Ticket saved up.
    4. Log into the game during 2nd week = 3rd Arena Ticket (free).
      • You now have 2 Arena Tickets saved up.
    5. Log into the game after the event = 4th Arena Ticket (for 2nd retired run)
      • Redeem your rewards for retired run.
      • You now have 3 Arena Tickets saved up.

    If you want SoU packs (from rewards), feel free to use your Arena Tickets whenever, before the new expansion launches.

    If you want 3 extra packs from the new expansion, save your Arena Tickets for now and use them when the new expansion launches.


    Hope that was clear enough lol :) Keep in mind, you might need to restart the game to trigger some steps, especially the first log in when the event starts, it might bug out and show you only one of the tickets etc. Always restart the game if you think ur missing some rewards and only then freak out :) But i never had any problems in all these years.

    You are absolutely correct. The PM system is in its very basic form and will get refined in time ;-)

    I think that Quest Plot Twist Warlock with Augmented Elekk, that will generate extra cards could be a proper home for Renounce Darkness. Should be fun to play!

    Lol Ice Block in arena :D That card was trash tier and still would be. Probably the biggest tempo dump of all secrets that will not save you anyway 99% of the time. Same goes for Mind Blast actually.
