    I just started playing it, been away from Shaman as it’s my most played class and wanted other shiny heroes too!  Also currently Diamond 9 and climbing with this deck.  When Frozen Throne came out and I unpacked Thrall DK, that was a fun time for me personally in Hearthstone.  I always enjoy a good Evolve deck.

    I will say though, I am not using Galakrond in my list.

    My personal Egg Warrior experience with Egg Warrior was that it's just okay. But when I tried playing it in high Diamond last week I wasn"t finding Demon Hunters, but rather Priests.  Then in several DH matchups I had some really bad draw luck while the DHs were coining out 2x Battlefiends on turn 1.  Stuff like that.  So I'm sure my experiences as a whole are a small, unlucky subset of the overall data.

    It's 4 packs. Reaching d5 would've got you a 5th pack. 

    The classic ones are only for the first time you reach that rank. 

    Reaching Diamond 5 gets you an Epic card, reaching Legend gets the 5th pack

    I'm sure some people are still paying money to get cards faster, as well as to get some of the cosmetic things.  I don't really play it but I believe League of Legends' main source of income is cosmetic items and it's been doing just fine for many years now.

    I'd rather pay for an auto-squelch check box in the game's Options menu.

    With Hearthstone Deck tracker you can do that already!

    Just install the "Autosquelch" Plugin and you will never get tilted again :)

    Wait... that's a THING?!?!  That exists?!?!

    I don't necessarily find them tilting, but rather just annoying because I know the majority of the time when they are used my opponent is TRYING to tilt me.  I also, for some reason, have a much higher ratio of roping opponents than anyone else I know and I would say those are more tilting than emote spamming.  And I'm talking the roping turn 1 to then play their Quest card at the last second of the rope kind of roping.  But then again those are tough turns with big 1 mana decisions to be made.  Is there a HDT extension for this as well?!?!  :D

    If it happens turn 1 I give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they queued and stepped away.  If it happens again turn two, turn three... at some point I just rope them back because I usually play while watching something so I'm not in a big rush anyway.  Once roping back gets them moving faster I maintain it for a few more turns before letting up.

    I feel like a "Limited" constructed mode has been suggested by players for a while.  If the new mode they teased will use our collections I can see them doing something like this.  But if it is going to be similar in scope to Arena as they also teased, I'm worried it'll just be a constructed Arena mode, or like a monthly Brawleseum type of mode.  Which isn't quite what I'd like to see, but... it's fine I guess.

    Honestly, haven't had much time to play.  The wife and I have a 5 month old at home, our first, so that's just another thing that slows or stops my legend attempt!  Haha.

    Been seeing a bunch of Galakrond Warlocks.  Wiping the floor with them and my Dragon Mage.

    I've been up and down quite a bit with different decks.  Either I'm playing Tempo Demon Hunter wrong against the Rogues, getting incredibly unlucky, or maybe it's actually a favored match up for Rogues who know what they are doing.  Dragon Hunter, Highlander Hunter/Mage, all been hit and miss, some even taking me back to Diamond 5 no stars.  Egg Warrior and a slightly different version of Zoo Lock with [Hearthstone Card (Dark Pharaoh Tekhan) Not Found] have gotten me back to the Diamond 3 area but now hitting a bit of a barricade there again.  Keep getting all three stars and then hitting a bad match up or getting unlucky draw orders.  But both the Warrior and the Warlock decks have pulled some wins out of thin air if I get the resources I need.  Doesn't help when Ancharrr has literally only drawn Risky Skipper maybe twice when I need it.

    Might have to try the Face Hunter deck in the last couple days here like you suggested.

    Posted about this a few weeks ago too.  A bug ticket was already opened on Blizz forums around launch so we"ll see what they do about it, if anything.

    |Marcus|, what about using him to pop the eggs in Egg Hunter?!  You get the hatched minions, later you get more eggs that can also attack making it easier to pop them when you want.

    He’s one of four legendaries I don’t have from the set, and I’m thinking of crafting.  I have over 10k dust still after HoF rotations.  So I could make him.  Seems good in a few different decks.  Do you think he’d be worth it if I did?

    ODD BUG that I found while trying out the "new player experience" post ladder changes and Outlands release.

    ** The first thing I did after doing the six tutorial matches was go unlock Demon Hunter.  This oddly enough unlocked ALL classes, Tavern Brawl, and Arena for me on the new player account!  Because Illidan starts at lvl 20.


    As for Wild, once you get out of the beginner ranks, buy a Wild pack, usually Old Gods for C'Thun.  Should unlock.

    Did you copy this in with a deck code?  Could you try remaking the list from scratch?  Just completely delete the deck that's in there currently and either try importing again or remaking it?

    You could also copy the deck into a new slot and delete the deck slot that is giving you trouble.  That might help.

    OP,

    I personally stopped frequenting HearthPwn as soon as OutOfCards was a thing.  Mostly because at that time HearthPwn was supposed to be getting shut down, but even when it was announced they would stay online I just stayed.  I won't detail the history of that whole saga, but I'm sure there is a few forum posts about it all if you want to find them.

    But ultimately I found that the majority of people who followed Flux and crew from HP to OoC are a great part of the Hearthstone community.  And you're sure to see some super salty posts on here as well from time to time, but I feel like the toxicity levels here are WAY under what HP was/is.  The only time I still go there is if I'm looking for an old deck list from before this site existed to try and refresh an old deck idea for wild.

    Anyway, welcome!  Hope you like it here.

    If this deck didn’t include Millhouse Manastorm, I swear I will reach through this screen and not do anything because that’s physically impossible!

    My first thought when I saw the brawl:

    “Priest is supposed to be based in tempo and board building right?  So let’s do that!”

    Only played three so far but I beat two Demon Hunters easy, and a Big Druid who was part frustrated by my board control and part from random secret luck.

    Side note: versus both DHs I got a free Metamorphosis and used their own upgraded hero power against them for the finishing blow.
