I made the mistake a couple years ago of dusting many of my wild cards. At the time my interest was only playing standard. Now I am finding I really enjoy wild and wish I hadn't dusting anything. Because interests may change over time, I would advise folks not to dust anything.
This is actually why I have never dusted any of my Wild cards except for the likes of Duskfallen Aviana, Harbinger Celestia and other cards on their level of bad. I used to do this without any issue when they rotated because I figured I'd never open another pack from a Wild set as they were in the online store only. When they made Wild packs available to buy with gold I thought I'd hold on to all of them as I might want to buy some Wild packs. But now with the new rules for rarity protection I went in and DE'd several bad Legendaries.
But overall, very happy that I kept a lot of my Wild cards. Despite the ridiculously high level of power in some Wild decks, as more and more cards go Wild I find it to be a lot of fun to play old archetypes with some new cards, it's like visiting old friends. Just yesterday I made a Tempo Dragon Warrior and I climbed lower Platinum ranks to P5 pretty quick. Even beat a Token Druid, which in Wild can be VERY aggressive and win quick!
Made a second one today, though I already submitted Portal Jumper. This one is a Warrior card, and despite using a mechanic that Team 5 is mostly staying away from these days, I think it's a pretty fair card because of the condition in the Battlecry.
Thinking about this one, I decided Paladin might be a fun one. Found this art with what could be interpreted as the remains or beginnings of a portal around this Blood Elf and thought this would be great.
For the flavor: While most reborn minions are more undead, ethereal, or mechs, this tricky minion's "reborn" is her using a portal jump to narrowly avoid fatal damage. And I always like the idea of potentially bringing some old cards back to standard through card generation as well, smilar to how Giggling Inventor or Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk summoned Wild minions while they were in Standard. So she shares her portal magic with you when you play her by giving you a Silvermoon Portal.
Reborn for Mummies, the generated spell for Kaleidosaur, 3 mana seemed like a good place for her since played on curve she gives you a 4 mana play for the following turn. Kept stats at 2/3 because of spell generation and Reborn. Watermark from Uldum because of Reborn as well.
The region has been hidden in their beta version for a while (maybe a year or so), and I left feedback then that it was more of a step back than helpful.
But, I think they are more interested in people that play multiple games, not multiple regions. It is a shame, as I don't think anyone gains anything from the change, but some people will lose being able to see what region they are on (without clicking).
In the beta launcher, look under the Play button. I can see my current region there in small font.
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.
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.
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.
|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.

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

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

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.

Got Unidentified Contract off a 6 drop, it changed to Assassin’s Contract, cost 6 again, not 0...
An acceptable replacement. LOL
