    One step closer to the card back of my dreams...

    I still remember the last day of September 2014 where I tried to get to rank 20 and my card collection was junk and I didn't know any good decks... I remember frantically trying to get just one more win the last minutes of the last day... I failed. So now there is only ONE card back that I have wanted since the day I started playing: PIRATES!

    I got almost all the way done and then I accidentally toggled the page to the left. That was rough... How long do we have to complete this? I like the concept. Nicely done.

    I would recommend checking hsreplay and put in your information into that.

    Thank you everybody. To answer Pezman, I am a wild player. I started with highlander Quest Mage. Then I used one version of Quest mage to ladder up (with duplicates). I got stuck at rank 4-5 and tempostorm updated their wild meta snap shot. I updated the quest mage that from last time and it got a big boost in support. I tried to climb but it was a bit difficult. One night, I had a really good win: lose ratio so I kept playing... no pirates for a long time.

    https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/decks/quest-mage--wild-meta-snapshot--may-26-2020

    My big recommendation would be to check out the different websites and see what they call out as the best decks. If it's an unfair deck then that is what is best for laddering. I only changed my decks once I hit a ranking floor so I wouldn't suffer as I learned. I tried to keep to the same type of deck so I knew my deck really well. I didn't use a deck tracker because I laddered exclusively on my phone. I would recommend the deck tracker that this site uses which is from the hsreplay website (and connect that account to this website)

    One reason I play wild is because I can't afford to play standard.

    Another reason is because I think wild has more variety in it. I still peak into standard to increase to even more variety. Real fun is in casual mode. I probably won't do this again but it was good. I don't regret it.

    I have been playing this game since September 2014 but I have never reached legend until this month. I am so grateful for this website, hsreplay, and tempostorm. I love the community here. I enjoy the info on hsreplay, and the free information on top decks for Wild as provided by tempostorm. I wanted to share my achievement with you guys.

     

    To those who provided their wisdom in the past on this task- thank you! 

    See you out there!

    • 2019: 1. Deck support for Reno Decks... zephyrs the great into instant kill to provide a lot of consistency to a deck that lacks that. 2. Bob's VIP membership
    • 2020: 1. I am looking forward to the great rescue of Whizbang! Come on make him classic set. 2. the free card from Blizzcon. 3. Any and all cards that get moved to the Hall of Fame 4. When cards get nerfed.

    If I don't win this random drawing but Whizbang gets rescued then I would consider that a win.

    Thank you for your interest. Here are my current thoughts on the two cards you recommended.

    For me, I don't like Lesser Emerald Spellstone because I can't seem to get more than two wolves out of it because of the situations I find myself in. Most games Lesser Emerald Spellstone just doesn't pop up but the games that it did show, the situation called for a more immediate spell which leads me to my thoughts on your second card. I love the card Unleash the Beast however I wasn't sure what card to remove for the deck. I could use additional guidance on that. I removed [Hearthstone Card (flanked strike) Not Found] and replaced it with Unleash the Beast I did notice that it was more mana against counterspell mage secrets but besides that... I really really like Unleash the Beast. Unleash the Beast has great synergy when I play Zul'jin and also removes the bad synergy that [Hearthstone Card (Flanked strike) Not Found] has against my beast companions.

    What card would you recommend removing for Unleash the Beast? Is [Hearthstone Card (Flanked strike) Not Found] a good choice? Can you think of cards from the new set that may also work?

    I really appreciate you all!!!

    I love how interesting this card sounds. Normally, a player gets punished for not trading against the board. This card is like having your face as a taunt for the board. Which is counter-intuitive considering that's how you lose the game. My mind is blown. So as long as you can punish your opponent for not addressing the board and you have a good method of dealing with smorc decks then this will be a great card. It's also worth mentioning that this is not a secret so your opponent can play to address this quest. Very interesting indeed! This card seems like a control deck piece.

    Here are my thoughts, followed by a few questions:

    My thoughts:

    Lord Jaraxxus is one of the best cards ever printed by Hearthstone. It inspired the creation of all the hero cards that came in the Frozen Throne. It has the best emote of the game during Christmas. Plus, Lord Jaraxxus was Ben Brode's favorite card. Even though Hearthstone created an instant kill through a card, Sacrificial Pact, people still played Lord Jaraxxus. Because the risk was worth the play.

    Then came Bloodreaver Gul'dan which outclassed Lord Jaraxxus and players had to wait two years to play Lord Jaraxxus.

    Now Lord Jaraxxus is again a deleted card because [Hearthstone Card (zephyrs the great) Not Found] produces Sacrificial Pact and instant kills Lord Jaraxxus. This fact will be true forever in Wild.

    A few questions:

    If Sacrificial Pact is nerfed, would Lord Jaraxxus see play?

    What are the chances that this change may occur in light of the accessibility of Sacrificial Pact to all highlander decks?

     

    Thank you for your time. I would have posted this in a card discussion area for Lord Jaraxxus but there is no place to discuss Lord Jaraxxus.

    Quote From Esparanta

    Note the archetype: It's Spell Hunter. Sure, Spell Hunters don't put any minions in their decks but this is different: It's based on singleton decks, so Reno is a-must for heal. As for Subject 9, it's a supreme card-draw. In short, any minions other than them seem irrelevant to me. Adding more minions will prevent from Rhokdelar activating as early as possible. However, that doesn't mean you aren't welcomed to add these minions, only to fail in the long run.

    This is a cheating spell hunter deck but a true singleton/highlander deck. This is a very interesting hybrid. I too wanted to include Dinotamer Brann but your argument makes sense. I am use to seeing Barnes/old god combo but this is a good mix.

    Thank you for this great hybrid. Thank you.

    (Sorry about the earlier posting error which created a lot of dead space.)

    SirHerpDerp,

    "Last updated 1 week, 2 days ago"

    Okay, I have played this deck-ish a lot. The truth is that I don't have Millhouse Manastorm and I am not going to craft him for this deck. I also only have one Cataclysm therefore I had to make changes to this updated deck (I know those cards didn't change.) I chose to add Defile and High Priestess Jeklik. I added Defile to deal with aggro decks and leaned into the quest card to help deal with more controlling decks. 

    I have found this deck to be strong (around wild rank 10 to rank 8) but more than that it is fun. I will keep playing with it. Currently, I play this deck more than any other. Nice job SirHerpDerp!

    These are quite fun. I think the link to the previous link is awesome. It may be nice to retrofit old "Forgotten Wilds" with "next article" link for navigation purposes. I hope you do many more of these. (Take your time... we are in no rush so please don't charge the next article too quickly.)
