With the release of Scholomance Academy looming ever so close, I can already feel my fingers start to twitch closer and closer to the Mass Dust option after cracking my packs to start crafting all the wonderful things that I didn't get.  I am trying my absolute best to try and keep myself from doing it this time around.  It was a rough one with Ashes of Outland because there were so many issues with the power of Demon Hunter, once I thought that the nerfs were done, I was totally wrong and ended up losing out on a lot of potential crafting.

Along those thought lines is where I am currently stuck.  I can see the sheer power of a number of the cards in this release.  I KNOW that the nerfs are coming and probably in places that not a lot of us are seeing (Although I would bet that Secret Passage will be errata'd to say something like, "At the end of turn discard those cards" or the cost will go to (3)).  

What I am getting at, finally, is what does everyone else do to keep yourself from dusting things too early or not craft something that looks amazing, but is in all reality mediocre?  After Galakrond launched, I had a surplus of dust and finally crafted Raza the Chained and Kazakus to finally put together my Highlander Priest.  I recently had another legendary amount of dust and instead of going the smarter route and get Reliquary of Souls, I crafted Activate the Obelisk and have been regretting my decision since.  

Granted, they are both solid cards and I like playing the quest, I just inherently made the wrong decision in crafting.  So my final question is what do all of you do to keep from crafting cards that look like they are amazing, but in reality are lame and/or restricted to being used in specific decks?

I'll be running with this deck in Wild on Day 1.

Scholomance card additions:

Mindrender Illucia - great tech card to derail your opponent's plans.

Sphere of Sapience - helps you control the game flow.

Lorekeeper Polkelt - helps you assemble your OTK package sooner.

Well  guys and gals after 79300 theory crafts this week  and 10 or so successful hopefuls I've done it. I've found the deck I'm playing on day 1 behold

What will be yours?

Disclaimer: this is obviously a top level meme

So normally I just use Fake GPS to 'attend' a fireside to open my packs early (for the same problem that would happen in the title. However, for some reason selecting a public Fireside event seems to be disabled on the website so I had to try to create my own unlisted event again, which to no surprise still results in the 404 error from previous years.

What gives?

I noticed a new animation for poisonous minions, where a splash of green with a skull on top was displayed.

Is this from the latest patch? Are there any other new animations?

This is probably the best pack I've ever opened.  I can't figure out how to insert a screenshot of it at the moment but I got:

Frazzled Freshman

[Hearthstone Card (Devolving) Not Found]

Enchanted Cauldron

Soulciologist Malicia

Lorekeeper Polkelt Golden

I couldn't believe it.  I've got two legendaries in a pack before but not one of them being golden and not with two epics.

So from the Roadmap we know there is going to be a new game mode coming in phase 2 but apparently I personally haven't seen anyone talking about it? What are you thoughts? Will they reveal it when expansion releases or later?

Hello there guys, I took some time to analyze all the cards I got from my early pack opening and I wanted to share it with you guys. While I didn't get that many legendary cards, I got a nice amount of golden cards from the non-golden packs.

Number of packs opened: 142 (137 normal + 5 golden)

Golden Epic: 3/44 => 6.81%

Golden Legendary: 0/25 => 0%

Collection status

Common: All cards

Rare: All cards

Missing epics: Secret Passage

One copy only epics: Ancient Void Hound, Runic Carvings, Devolving Missiles (golden), Void Drinker

Two copies epics (normal + golden): Guardian Animals, Flesh Giant

Legendary: Jandice Barov, Mozaki, Master Duelist, Turalyon, the Tenured, Archwitch Willow, Headmaster Kel'Thuzad, Keymaster Alabaster

Feel free to share your opinions and statistics!

I just finished opening my 85 Scholomance packs from preorder. Here are the results:

I figured it wouldn't make a difference if I opened the 5 golden packs first or last and just started out with them. BOOM! First pack, first card, golden Mozaki, Master Duelist! No luck with the other packs though, no golden epics.

Out of the 80 normal packs I got 15 epics plus one golden epic. Sadly, they were not the ones I was hoping for (not a single copy of Survival of the Fittest, Krolusk Barkstripper, Potion of Illusion and Combustion). The legendarys I got are

Disciplinarian Gandling in pack #3
High Abbess Alura in pack #43
Vectus in pack #44
Archwitch Willow in pack #80

The sheer number of epics and legendarys is good, but I didn't get much of what I was planing to play with. Fingers crossed for the second opening when the expansion hits!

How was your pack opening? Are you happy with your results?

Before each expansion, I like to theorycraft at least one deck for every class, and challenge others on the Forum to do the same and share what they got. Of course originality is icing on the cake! So here's what I've got so far for Scholomance Academy. Feedback welcome!

Demon Hunter

I'm not a big fan of standard tempo DH, and not very impressed with the Token DH cards that are coming out in Scholomance. So I went all-in with the other package they're getting, the Soul Fragments, and tried to make a control deck out of it (since it includes a new 3-damage AoE and a 7-drop that summons a bunch of 3/3s with Rush).

I refrained from Pit Commander because I have 1/3 Spirit Jailers. I tried to be picky about how many Outcast cards I included, so that Double Jump will be good for tutoring Skull of Gul'dan often.

Druid

I really tried to make Healz Druid work, but what I came up with looked awful even with the new SA cards supporting it. So I decided to go less original and focus my deck around Guardian Animals. So I included beast synergies, but no beasts of less than 5 cost except Escaped Manasabers. Then the low end of the curve includes ramp (Lightning Bloom), removal, value-cards, and taunts to stall with.

Germination is included mostly because it's awesome to buff Speaker Gidra with. Two copies of it might be overkill though.

Hunter

Not too creative on this one either, I just thought I'd see how much more effective Face Hunter could be with Voracious Reader to boost it. I also threw in Rapid Fire (a sometimes-inclusion anyway) with Professor Slate for a removal package that has fun with a new card, even though it's probably too specific a combo to be optimal.

Mage

OK, so back in Rise of Shadows, and to a lesser extent in Uldum, I really liked my aggro Spell Damage Burn Mage deck. And this set has more spell damage synergy than we've ever seen before except in RoS. So I'm hoping I can resurrect this concept.

The biggest boon is a lot more card draw to replace what Stargazer Luna once did for the deck; I've more than once wished for pretty much exactly Cram Session to exist, and now it will. So that can replace Arcane Intellect and be an improvement. Then a Voracious Reader (or maybe two? I haven't found the room so far ...) can take Luna's place.

Combustion sort of takes the place that Shooting Star once held. New 1-drop Spell Damages (!!) Ethereal Augmerchant (also flexible as removal) and Lab Partner make up for the losses of Cosmic Anomaly and Spellzerker. I also replaced Mana Reservoirs with Primordial Studies to try out; hopefully on average Reservoir or a better cheap spell damage minion will show up in the Discover pool? Mozaki, Master Duelist is an improvement on the sometimes-included Azerite Elemental from the old deck, and Ras Frostwhisper can replace the sometimes-included Arcane Explosion while simultaneously adding reach to hit face.

This is the deck I'm most excited to play in the exp, if you couldn't tell. It's expensive though. Time to spend a lot of dust ...

Paladin

Not too creative here again; just using the new tools like First Day of School and Devout Pupil to patch up weaknesses in Libram Paladin with Lightforged Zealot (i.e. it's a "pure paladin," but one without even Lightforged Crusader, because random Paladin cards often suck). Lord Barov is almost a Wild Pyromancer + Equality combo in one card.

I'm not sure how good Argent Braggart and Judicious Junior are, but I'm experimenting with one copy of each.

Priest

There's no way I'm coming up with a better control priests than a gazillion Priest specialists online; it's just not an archetype I understand very well. So I went with a Zoo Priest concept instead. But then I found myself wanting to include WAY too many cards, so ... the natural solution was to go Highlander and add Zephrys the Great! (But not Dragonqueen Alexstrasza; she's way too slow for the concept.)

The biggest challenge for this deck will be generating enough card draw with Northshire Cleric gone and Power Word: Shield nerfed. I did my best, with Raise Dead, Novice Engineer, Loot Hoarder, and Voracious Reader.

Disciplinarian Gandling is kind of the linchpin card of the deck, that will probably have the highest Drawn Winrate. But you can't count on drawing him, so I tried to make the deck strong even if you don't.

Rogue

I was pretty tempted to theorycraft a Weapon Rogue with the cute new package, but I knew I wanted to use that same package for my Warrior deck, so I decided not to put too decks that were so similar on this thread. I'll still theorycraft a Weapon Rogue, but I dunno if I'll share it.

So instead, I thought I'd update my "The Assassins" deck from AoO. It's an aggro Stealth rogue, which is an archetype I imagine will be pretty popular in SA; but I think my Plague of Madness + weapon removal combo (for hard removal + card draw) will still make this take on the deck original.

Sneaky Delinquent and Infiltrator Lilian replace Wasteland Assassin, which is a bit slow for this aggressive of a deck. The deck often went into topdeck mode even with Harrison Jones and Greyheart Sages, so I think the additions of Secret Passages and Voracious Reader will be a big power boost.

As usual, I have lots of ideas for Shaman decks (my favorite class), but the one most likely to actually succeed is probably to take the current Totem Shaman deck and make it even faster. So that's what I theorycrafted so far.

It includes just five new cards: Lightning Bloom x1, Tour Guide x2, and Voracious Reader x2. Not much else to say.

Warlock

I already did the Soul Fragments thing with DH, and I'm certainly not qualified to figure out how to improve Questlock in the new exp. So I went with the "change your health on your turn" theme. After I put in all the cards I wanted for that package, I had 6 slots left, and I was pretty close to a very evenly-distributed, symmetric mana curve, and I had some dragon-dependent synergies. I considered squeezing in a Galakrond package, but I ended up just saying "Let's see if midrange Warlock can be a thing for once" and adding a couple more dragons that fit the dents in the mana curve.

EDIT: Revised based on a friend's feedback. No longer has an eleganly symmetric mana curve, or as many Dragons for consistency, but has more draw and heal and less ways to hurt itself and is undoubtedly better.

Warrior

As I mentioned above, I love the new Weapon synergy cards and wanted to center my Warrior deck on that. My dream is that it might even bring Gorehowl back to relevance. So I'm gonna try.

Weapon Warrior is naturally going to take a bunch of face damage, though, so I put in a Taunt package for survivability: Into the Fray x2, Frightened Flunky x2, Infested Goblin x1, Armagedillo, Scrap Golem x1. Then I also added a small Pirate package, because that's practically required in the age of Risky Skipper and Ancharrr, and Dread Corsair fit nicely into all three themes.

Having such a big hole in my curve at 3 is a bit suspect, but the deck (now updated with feedback from a friend) is worth a try I think. I've tried out the small Taunt package + small Pirate package thing before (with either Enrage or Galakrond as the "main" packages), but the biggest thing that was missing was enough card draw. So hopefully Cutting Class will be a huge improvement on this style of deck.

Assuming you get the needed cards ... just curious ... I will probably try a Libram Paladin ...

Friendly reminder that Scholomance pack opening is possible via Private Fireside Gathering starting today! *source

I'll only have a few hours of time when the expansion hits next week, so I decided to use this feature this time. It's pretty easy, just go here and follow the instructions. Fingers crossed for a good haul, I'll make sure to report back what I got. I'm hoping for Ace Hunter Kreen, Professor Slate, Ras Frostwhisper and Mozaki, Master Duelist. Really lots of strong epics this expansion, that might end up being quite expensive.

Good luck to all of you!

So after all the cards got released I like to do some sort of sorting, which card belongs to what archtype (or several)

I won't go and rate every card.. that's tidious and guys like trump or regis do better job at that.. so I will just put my thought on which archtypes we can expect and which archtypes got more support.

Going on alphabetical order, shared archtypes will appear on both classes.

Demon Hunter

Druid

Hunter

Mage

Paladin

Priest

Rogue

Shaman

Warlock

Warrior

If I missed an archtype it's fine I probably did I think this time around the meta will be diverse unless something goes horribly wrong.. (I have a feeling it will be because of druid or shaman..)

Well I finally did it!  I hit Legend!  And I did it by accident, kind of!

I've been playing since a few weeks after launch with a few periods of playing very little, or not at all for a few months towards the end of 2014 and into early 2015.  I've also played more casually for the life of the game, the first two years I literally played Casual only after earning my end of month rewards chest.  And I'm the type who never played card games prior to Hearthstone, so when I first started playing and would drop Arcane Missiles or something on turn 1 and my opponent emoted "Well Played" I didn't realize they were being sarcastic...  Anyway, I have learned a lot since then.  Here's my Legend story!

I've been home a lot more lately with the state of the world and not working a ton, so while my wife's been busting her ass in the hospital I've been staying home with our son a lot.  What do you do when you're home a bunch???  Teach your 8 month old son to play Hearthstone, of course!

Yesterday after he went to bed and my wife was working a night shift I decided it was time to play some Shaman.  This is my favorite/most played class, but I have ignored it for several months now as I pushed for the golden portraits in the other heroes.  But looking at the Tempo Storm meta report last night I saw an Even Totem Shaman list and was like, "That can't be that good, can it?"  It can!  In fact, for me it was 22-6 good from D5 to Legend (79%)!

As I got ready to face the final boss this afternoon, my son woke from a nap.  I went and grabbed him and sat at my computer with him in my lap.  It wasn't until after I clicked "Play" that I noticed something was very wrong.  My son had shit his pants!  I frantically tried to click "Cancel" so I could take time to change his diaper, but I was too late.  I was matched with a Worthy Opponent; a Quest Mage!  Now I had to pilot the deck while also being delirious due to the stench of a thousand corpses rising from my son's diaper as he sat on my lap.  Sure I could have put him down, but if he started moving around a bunch on the floor, well... do you know what a blow out is?!  If not, I envy you!  I kept him on my lap to avoid further incident involving the Bog of Eternal Stench (you know, from the movie Labyrinth).

I got ahead on board, trying to maintain control while hitting my opponent, held off attacking into a secret which I was certain was Flame Ward (it was) to ensure my totems would live an extra turn to buff my Draenei Totemcarver, etc.  Eventually I got to a turn where I could hit him in the face and bring the Mage to 8 HP while adding some spell damage to the board to power up my Crackle to "6-9 damage".  a 50/50 shot!  Do I take it???

That's when it hit me... "6-9"... 69!  NICE!!! This glorious number was a sign from RNGesus that it would work!  I hit for exactly the Mage's remaining 8 HP.  I had done it!  I had won, earning the Legend card back and Natalie Seline, completing my collection of Classic legendary cards.  I also had a muddy mess in my son's diaper to clean up still.  Celebrations would have to wait.

I never really intended to push for Legend, I've always just kind of played whatever I felt like bouncing around from meta lists to memes, aggro to combo and all deck types in between.  I always figured if I found a good deck I had a lot of fun playing that I went on a great run with I'd get Legend but not stress over it.  This Shaman deck seems really good in a meta full of Quest Mage and Discard Lock, and my win record would back up that feeling.

If you are looking for something really strong to make an end of month push in Wild, try Even Totem Shaman!  There's nothing more fun than killing your opponent with a giant Idiot Totem!

Thonson

Since I have most of the cards of this deck and you know, first days of expansion pasts with aggressive Hunters mostly as always (lol) and just because of that rather than rage against those hunters, I've decided to make a deck for first days of the Scholomance Academy.

Since I have all of the other cards except Scholomance Academy ones and they are just 4 copies as 2 Legendary and 2 Epics, it won't be a huge problem for me to craft this. Legendaries both are worthwhile in my opinion; Vectus and Lorekeeper Polkelt, Epics are 2x Trueaim Crescent and i'm not so sure about it but well, since it is a dual-class card, it might be worthwhile too.

Anyways, The deck is here;

I'm not master of aggressive decks such as burn, it is least played archetype by me so I want to ask for some help here. Are there any suggestions or replacements that you can advise ?

Thanks from now on. :)

Brann + Illucia will do nothing but will revert the deck and hand with opponent on your next turn, giving your opponent a useless deck till the end of the duel. It should work and I don't think this is tested.

Hi,

Is it possible to pin the thread containing all the revealed cards (so far) into the card discussion forum and on the first page?

Right now I cannot find it and it's really annoying to have to navigate through all the pages to see the reveals.

Please put it somewhere visible and pin it :)

Thanks!

have been revealed up to now ? So how many will be revealed in a few hours ?

How many Legendary / Epic are missing ?

Because I seriously remember reading some kind of interview to the HS staff where the guy said something along the line of "Dont dust your Wild card just yet! You are going to be able to use them in the upcoming mode". I cant find this quote now tho' and being myself a free to play-er and having neglected the game in favor of LoR those last months, I was thinking of dusting some old legendaries to keep up with the new cards. Dont want it to turn out to be a shitty idea when the new mode is announced, can somebody confirm this?
