Hearthstone

I'm curious what's your opinion on new singleton cards added in Saviors of Uldum.

Considering Wild obviously.

In my view:

*Elise the Enlightened*

Nice value. And some combo potential. That's pretty much it. I don't see it being good enough to create Reno Druid.

*Dinotamer Brann*

Good addition to already playable Reno Hunter. Obvious 16 dmg potential finisher with older Brann. Besides it's good on its own. 

7 mana King Krush that can immidiately impact the board. Plus free 2/4 body.

It's my favourite new singleton card.

*Reno the Relicologist*

Beacause of Reno Mage already being good, that card will be playable. But... In my opinion it's a disappointment. Why? Old Reno was good enough to create a whole new archetype across several classes. I was expecting new Reno to be at least somehow close to that level. But Reno the Relicologist is JUST a good card. Nothing more, nothing less. Helpful in clearing small boards, low health minions.

*Sir Finley of the Sands*

If Reno Paladin will be a thing, new Finley will be played in it. It's good, it's an upgraded version of old Finley. It may win you some games with new hero power value.

But the question is... Will there be a Reno Paladin? I honestly don't see it being played in nearest future. Sir Finley of the Sands is not even close to being good enough to carry Reno Paladin on it's own.

Quest Mage rises in popularity and becomes another meta-definer (killing the Control side of the spectrum, as if BP wasn't enough). Yet its popularity rises on the very top only at Legend, where the meta is actually not as competitive as it is in previous ranks.

Also, about the age-old rethoric about "Priests in Wild are forced to Big Priest as the only decent deck for the Class, and that's why BP is so popular", well, there's the counter-proof:

I find the fall of Aggro Druid to be the greatest bummer of this report, I didn't expect it at all. It felt so consistent after RoS.

Overall, the meta can arguably be described by the relation: Tempo > Aggro > BP/QM ~ Tempo 

Just wandering why do other people play this format is it because you wanted to try an old deck, found a cool combo, or just started playing as soon as it was released.

For me I started playing Wild during KoTF when the free Death Knight I got was Scourgelord Garrosh and decided to play a Grim Patron deck.

I've read and heard some people say they hate wild and some love it.   Where do you stand on it?

I recently just started playing Wild almost exclusively.  I got tired of seeing the same decks over and over again in standard and I was struggling to rank up so I figured I would play Wild and at least see some different decks and cards for a while.  I didn't start playing Hearthstone until around the time Knights Of The Frozen Throne was released so I missed everything that came before it.  After I got my golden Rogue hero I decided to try and get the golden Shaman which I am about 50 wins away.   I even bought and played through all the Adventures that were released so I could have access to some older cards without having to spend all my dust (which I ended up doing anyways lol). 

I'm still enjoying playing wild more than standard but i'm afraid of getting burned out again because its still a lot of the same decks which is mostly resurrect Priest  (which is just BS but i'll save that for the salt thread).   I've read and heard some people say they hate wild and some love it so i'm curious to hear this communities opinion.  Do you like it?  Hate it?  What would you change?  I don't think we should be allowed to use cards from current expansions.  It should only be cards that have rotated out.  That way there is a bigger difference between standard and wild.

Hi dear hs players,

I want to craft a deck or two in wild and I need your ideas to help me choose :)

I took a break after gvg adventure and came back after witchwood so I feel like I missed many good content in between, now I want to play some wild to see those cool cards. And as you guess my wild collection is not so wild, it's made of only KoFT year. So I probably can't play 200k dust decks.

My favorite class is Rogue but the rogue decks I checked already seem familiar so I want to try something different. I also enjoy playing warlock, mage and shaman. It doesn't have to be tier 1, I will play it in the rank 10-20 territory. I'd prefer control/combo over aggro. 

So what do you guys enjoy playing in wild? What would be the single most enjoyable deck to play in wild occasionally? I'm looking forward to hearing any ideas!

How consistent have you found the card as a stand-alone or as a combo? I'm mainly asking hoping that as a combo it isn't too problematic in hopes that Mechwarper doesn't end up getting nerfed in wild.

While in most recent times the Ress Priest deck has almost disappeared, some of the already revealed new cards (Catrina Muerte and Mass Resurrection) may bring it back giving it new life.

Considering how unfun it's to play against it and how oppressive it was back in its glory days, will this Rise of Shadows mark the come back of Barnes & Friends making the Wild Ladder again infested with this archetype?
