The worst part of doing this quest is when you're 4 heroes in and wondering "Wait a minute, did I do it already?" and asking yourself if you're going to possibly waste your time doing the rest.

[QUOTE=Archimedes;48278008]I'm hoping that in this expansion Priest will get some class cards that aren't highly reactive and incredibly situational.

Dark Cultist was a good start. More of that kind of stuff please.[/QUOTE]

dark cultist is actually such a bitch to deal with I always sigh when I see one
but then I realise priests can't do shit afterwards so it's whatever

[PipAntarctic]

I wonder if there will be attempts for Shield Slam OTK combo decks :v:

[QUOTE=pipantarctic;48278678]I wonder if there will be attempts for Shield Slam OTK combo decks :v:[/QUOTE]

Wait, you mean combo decks to kill the opponent with a Shield Slam? You do realize it only targets minions, right?

Do you realize how dominant Control Warriors would be if they could target the enemy hero with Shield Slam? :frown:

[Sammyroc]

[QUOTE=pipantarctic;48278678]I wonder if there will be attempts for Shield Slam OTK combo decks :v:[/QUOTE]

OTK on 2 separate minions hell yeah I'm down.

Unless Warrior gets a card that says Shield Slam works on the opponent's face your dream for Shield Slam OTKs is pretty far off

[Linkuya]

Been out of the loop for a while, but my stars look at these cards.

I've done a number crunch, and the new 'Replace your hero power with something completely unwarranted but gratuitously accepted' is going to be a fine card in control warrior, if timed correctly. I can hardly wait.

Something interesting to note which was brought up by Kripp in [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpMTwLUk36I]his Grand Tournament[/url] video, the Skycap'n Kragg's card text just reads "for each friendly Pirate."

[t]http://i.imgur.com/2gj9pR8.png[/t]

And you're probably thinking "Oh, it surely must be counting other friendly Pirates in play, right?" Probably not. Here's Frostwolf Warlord for reference, as well as other cards:

[t]http://i.imgur.com/xrC6VhA.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/MnCTycL.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/j4FsQs3.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/K0H2JC5.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/bGvyXil.png[/t]

That says for "each [b]other[/b] friendly minion [b]on the battlefield[/b]." King of Beasts has different wording but means the same thing: "for each other friendly Beast on the battlefield." Mountain Giant is kinda different in that it gets benefits from having more cards in your hand, but these 5 share something in common: Gaining a benefit for each minion or card in a location.

But Kragg? It just says "for each friendly Pirate." So not does it probably count friendly Pirates on both the battlefield [i]and[/i] in your hand, but it might even count itself, making it effectively 6-mana instead of 7 (almost a straight upgrade from the Reckless Rocketeer). Hell, if you have just another Pirate, it's a Doomguard that traded Demon synergy and 1/1 stats for Pirate synergy and no discards.

Now I want to be a Piratelock even more badly...unless it's just poor wording on their part and it's for each other friendly Pirate on the battlefield and I was reading into it too much. :v:

But Piratelock loses arguably 2 of the most fun pirates: haHA and Greenskin. Nice catch though.

[QUOTE=Masamune;48279409]But Piratelock loses arguably 2 of the most fun pirates: haHA and Greenskin. Nice catch though.[/QUOTE]

But that's the thing: I'm going to include Blingtron and Jaraxxus.

As totally crazy and stupid as that sounds. :v: (This is where they introduce another minion that gives a weapon)

What even is this? This [I]almost[/I] makes Ball of Spiders seem playable.
How can you even release something like this.
Harrison wouldn't even want to put this in the museum.

Rogue is the weakest class when it comes to the inspire mechanic, so this might be their attempt to fix that. We don't know the rest of the new Rogue cards so lets hold off on judging it for now.

[Duckmaster]

I still really hate Freeze mage, just went 3 times in a row against them as Oil Rogue, its just like doing nothing all game and waiting to die.

Source for the card for those who were wondering was from the Brazillian Hearthstone stream, which is why it was in Portuguese before being translated.

[Pvt. Martin]

Got my one card pack for today from quests/wins, got a spare Savannah and a Defias Ringleader.

That last card is good right? I've seen it put to good use before.

[Morkcheese]

its good in arena

coin + defias

[Broguts]

Man I keep getting my ass kicked in ranked, its like these people put thought into their decks or something, maybe the wine is making me make poor card playing decisions.

[Pvt. Martin]

[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;48281189]its good in arena

I think next two quests I get Imma save for Arena.

Any good starter decks for Arena? Or good things to have for Arena.

I have never done it before.

[Pvt. Martin]

Gotcha. Any tips for Arena thing in terms of picking a hero and cards?

[CaelReader]

Use [URL="http://www.heartharena.com/"]HearthArena[/URL]

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;48281709]Gotcha. Any tips for Arena thing in terms of picking a hero and cards?[/QUOTE]

Mage, Priest and Pally are the holy trinity of Arena heroes. Arena has a lot more emphasis on card value and tempo plays since hard removal isn't guaranteed like it is in Constructed. Early turns are always critical and if you can't establish board control early in Arena you'll likely lose unless the opponent fucks up.

It's a lot like Tavern Brawl in that sometimes you just have to let the salt flow when you face an enemy mage who have 3 Flamestrikes, 5 Fireballs, 4 Frostbolts, 2 polymorphs, and godly cards while you're stuck with a hand with horrible curves.

[goluffy]

I want to make a shadowform priest deck where you play it early, and when lategame arrives you play Justicar and heal everything back up.

[helifreak]

[QUOTE=goluffy;48281814]I want to make a shadowform priest deck where you play it early, and when lategame arrives you play Justicar and heal everything back up.[/QUOTE]

Then you lose because the hero power isn't worth using the whole of turn 3 and half of turn 4 to deal 2 damage.

[Tricky D]

why are lame people playing super aggro decks in this weeks tavern brawl, like murlocs, face hunter and aggro zoo?

what the fuck

[Greenen72]

Cheaper than playing wallet priest?

[Tricky D]

yep gotta love those cheap decks with alexstrasza, leeroy, etc

[Mingebox]

First brawl game, druid drops a Piloted Shredder and Sky Golem. I Shrinkmiester/Shadow Madness the Shredder, silence the Golem, run the Shredder into it, get a charging murloc and finish it off. He quits on turn 2. Well, that's my free pack, back to ranked.

[Akri]

lol this brawl

I put out Ysera, he mind controls it, I mind control it back and then he mind controls it again but I put out Sylvanas and Ysera Awaken to get it back again

[Pvt. Martin]

So I've had a fucking terrible casual run.

Warlock zoos with darkbombs and all kinds of bullshit.

This Combo deck is only good if you get the good draws.

I'm salty as hell right now from trying to get gold to go into Arena with.
