Hirumredx, AKA The Duel Logs, started a Hearthstone channel a couple weeks ago. For anyone who doesn't know, he's a super-prolific World of Warcraft and YuGiOh content creator, mostly in the form of Top Tens.

It's basically junk food content, but it's good. I thought the channel deserved a little spotlight since he doesn't seem to be advertising it anywhere.

I haven't had the chance to check this interaction for long as the build was terrible, but it seems that Paralytic Poison is considered an aura effect in Duels? I had it played on one weapon and was immune for any attack with weapons after that (even switching weapons)

Greetings everyone, and welcome to the submission thread of fifth challenge of Master Duelist!

General Information

This challenge will begin today, December 10th, and will end on December 31st. During this window of time, you'll have to start a Duels run with a starting deck including at least 6 Fractured in Alterac Valley cards: both class and neutral cards are good!

Everyone who'll post proof of a 7+ wins run in this article's comment section will be awarded with a different amount of gold, an in-site currency you'll be able to earn from different activities and that will be used to purchase cosmetics in our in-site shop.

Submission Rules

In order for your run to count towards the challenge, you'll have to provide an appropriate proof of your feat; otherwise, your result won't count. To be precise, you will have to reply to this forum thread including:

• a picture of how your run ended;
• a picture of your starting deck;
• a picture(s) of your final deck.
• any other information you want: even though it's not necessary, it may help other players or generate a discussion!
  • you can submit as many runs as you want: we'll always pick the best one. Don't be afraid to show what you experimented with: let's start a discussion here!

Remember that we have to make sure you actually played following the rules, so please help us in doing so - disqualifying players feels bad, and we'd want to avoid it if possible! No exceptions will be made.

Challenge Rewards

Here's a quick breakdown explaining the rewards you'll receive based on your performances:

Time Criteria

Those which follow are the time criteria we'll use to determine the winner in case of identical scores:

• An Heroic run will be considered more difficult than a Casual one, therefore Heroic players will have the priority.
  • If you get the best score overall with a 10-wins run in Casual and somebody else gets a 10-wins run in Heroic, the latter will be the winner of the challenge.
• In case of more people getting the same score, the winner will be decided by the submission time.
  • If more players will get to 12 wins, losses will count as well: a 12-0 will be considered better than a 12-2 or a 12-1. 
  • You could get the highest score on the first day as well as on the last day of the challenge, but if someone submits the same score before you do, then they'll be the winner.

Closing Information

If you want to learn more about this challenge, make sure to visit our guide page, where you'll be able to find a couple of starting decks provided by ourselves in order for you to take inspiration for your runs.

Moreover, don't forged to share your own creations with the community by adding them to our deck database via our deckbuilder.

Last night I was trying a DemonHunter run out got the new Fel treasure; the one that shuffle 2 fel rifts in. Each time I did this and drew either that turn or the next, each draw for 2 draws (if 1 fel spell) was 2 imps being summoned. 

Hello there! As everyone knows, 'Fractured in Alterac Valley' is approaching us with brand new cards, archetypes, and meta!
Meta handshake is expected in Standard, Wild, and... Duels! Sorry Classic 😦

Twitch streamer Nosferatu_old_one (also available here as Nosferatu) announced a competition for duelists and just all
who like theorycrafting and creativity!

!Important! Nosferatu didn't ask me to translate announcement and not affiliated with me!
I made this for my own will.

From 5th to 12th Dec Duels competition will be conducted with theorycrafted decks! However, don't be intimidated
as its appliance rules are easy, and Duels starting deck consists of 15 cards and 1 Treasure.

Video on Youtube (Russian)

To participate, follow these steps:

• create a deck;
• send it to Nosferatu or any moderator from Discord server (link below);
  if it conforms to requirements, your deck appears in a special channel in Discord;
• Once decks submission's window is closed, all decks will be published in a special channel;
• Everyone can vote for any number of decks just sending a smile under the post with deck;
• Three decks that received the most likes will be selected for competition regardless of deck
  power or how it suits the current meta! Nosferatu will play each deck three times, and the winner
  will be determined by an average number of wins.

Now in more details:

• Deck must contain at least 3 cards from the 'Fractured in Alterac Valley';
• No changes to a deck or Hero Power/starting Treasure are allowed once the deck is submitted;
• Decks are accepted till the end of Dec 8th;
• Discord members vote on decks from 8th to 10th Dec;
  From Dec 10th, Nosferatu will play each deck with rotating a deck after Duels run to bring randomness in total deck's results;
• For each deck, an average number of wins is calculated, and this will be a deck score;
  There must be at least 0.5 difference between deck scores to pick a winner. For example, the shaman deck
  has avg 7.7 and the mage one 7.4, so the difference is 0.4. In such case, Nosferatu play with both decks
  one more time, and new deck scores will be calculated, and the winner will be chosen based on the new
  scores without re-runs even when if the difference is still <0.5;

Competitors will challenge for money equal to Hearthstone goods - the cost of 40/15/7 packs for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, respectively.
Please note that Nosferatu is from the RU region (from Hearthstone perspective), and money prizes are 2799, 1099, and 599 RUB sent
to winners' Battle.net Balance. So EU and US players, be aware of the price difference!

Good luck!

Has there been any mention of removing Diablo from Duels similar to how Diablo was removed from BG's in the recent patch?

Honestly he would be a perfectly balanced and interesting hero if it weren't for the existance of the Demon Seed.  Considering it's duels I doubt we'll see Demon Seed removed/banned from that mode, so my only other hope is that he is removed.

Diablo w/ Demon Seed quest is about as annoying as facing a Mind Tether Priest with Fire Shaping.  It's just an overall 'unfun' experience that leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

I suck at deck building. Especially since I only have access to a PC and can only play on mobile devices it's really hard to get sth. together on the small display. I'm looking for an idea for an Diablo deck. I have only the 3 dmg hero power and fire stomp. My plan was to auto complete a deck, but I don't find the option to do this. Should I build around the WL Questline? I don't have any idea ... 

As I just plan to play to complete the Legendary quest i could throw in any cards, but I like to have at least some kind of synergy.

A full guide to help you max out your mercs fast. Enjoy :)

Quote From Blizzard

• Added interactions between Pave the Way (part of the Paladin Questline) and Duels-specific hero powers.

This was in the newest patch notes. Can someone who has the quest check in and show us what this actually means?

I know what you are thinking right now "Doesn't that happen every Expansion?" and the answer is actually no. The mode has been in "Season 1: Wizzard Duels" since its release. Your memories might mix something up with the "rating reset" coundtown which let to the "Season 1 mid-Season" update in January.

I havn't found any evidence on a Saison update for the Barrens expansion on the Internet. Only that there was a nameless big content update

Season 1 came with 10 heroes with 1 HP and starting Treasure each aswell as a bunch of passive and active Treasures for the runs. I expect something similar with the potential "Mercenary Duels" in Season 2.

Funfact: Since it said "Next Season in 1 > Month" two Months ago I looked up this screen every time after they patch the game and today it was finally worth it.

Personally, I think the 4 heroes limit at startup should be removed. The main purpose is probably to have a broader representation of all classes during each run, but I think we should not be restricted in our choice of which class to play. I have always thought it was weird for Arena also. Especially when you are spending 150 gold or a tavern ticket.
