You can kinda look at this as a Mana Cyclone for hunter. But it is harder to pull off since there is no sorc apprentice. It is not a good card tbh, but you can have some fun with it.
Havent played since day 1, im going to be playing during weekend, but on day 1, there were legendaries everywhere. I dont know if it was just the initial "bump" to get ppl hyped, or if it was a byproduct of removing the power buckets. I guess i will see once i play more games, but on day 1 it was kinda insane.
Agree with Boozor about tempo and most importantly curving out early. As well as not enough removal consistently, so pick it while you can.
Having extensive knowledge about what class has which cards will come in extremely handy so you know which combination to pick, as well as which hero not to pick first, so you dont "waste" your chance on a strong hero power.
Also actually realizing which cards that you were used to see all the time are part of the Basic and Classic set can help you a lot, since now you know they are not a danger to you, and that you cannot rely on them yourself.
It definitely freshens up the experience, thats for sure. Lets see how long will the excitment last :)
it probably depends from where you copy the string of the deck
Copying from Vicious Syndicate gives the error
removing manually the two cards and adding from collection it works
Oh, makes sense. The old strings import "your" copies, which are technically different cards from the event copies. Blizz definitely made everyone's life difficult with how they handled adding these cards. They broke deck trackers and deck strings and everything lol.
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.

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.
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.

Right? Must be fun to play that deck :)
Everyone has a fuckin Bonemare, jesus.
Ideally leave heroes with good hero powers for 2nd pick (rogue, mage, paladin, druid) and generally draft for tempo/curve.

Agreed. Or at least let us use our golden copies lol.

Just a quick recap of the new Hero Portraits for anyone who hasnt seen them yet. We will have them implemented properly later.
Update your client, restart the game. I have no problem creating a deck with the event cards.

Yeah, can confirm.

Yes. Read here: https://outof.cards/forums/hearthstone/game-modes/arena/1701-psa-free-arena-tickets-hallows-end-2019.
Not yet, but definitely something that we want to implement.
New arena rotation, dual classes, removal of power buckets during drafting ... oh my.
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.
That was fun to watch! :D
