    Blizzard really pushes archetypes: dragon/galakrond for evil classes, and dragon/sidequests for the others. In the archetypes the current cards will be insane, else they are of classic strength.

    Luckily, I do not play warlock. But my condolences to those who do.

    4 Mana Nozdormu the Timeless, 5 Mana Shrink Ray. If you managed to draw Nozdormu early (Call to Adventure), and mulliganed for Shrink Ray, you can mitigate the dangers and may have an 80% 7+mana deck. For the early you could have some weapons?

    Well, highest resolution for priest decks and matches against them it is! This'll drain some batteries, but oh is this beautiful art. I suppose lots of priest cards look cool, the white background definitly helps.

    I just have the feeling it won't be to good. There may be times where you do not want to overcommit on the board, because of a likely boardclear (say, playing against warrior), and thus have to play spells. This sidequest will then screw you.

    I can't wait to see this cards animation. As a legendary, it should be flashy... I really hope to see some Talritha-figure jump from the board to your hand.  Also the card sounds will probably tell a good story too.

    When was the last time anyone saw a big minion in standard? You either have some small ones, or some mediums with powerful effects- both will be scorched/iced by them. 

    Alas, by the same logic they are to big for standard. But I say, this card will see play.

    8 mana: single target removal+ 12 attack, + some damagedbody- which then can be buffed... Control warrior, who only ever has few minions, will love him as a board clear or single target removal.

    Maybe Deathwing also likes to roast eggs and slam goblin bombs face?

    Quote From Techwood

    A flashy card indeed, but competitive? nah, it sucks. random is not good, unless it's box of yogg saron

    You've got to live the dream! Yes, it may be clunky. But if you're playing a dragon druid, it will be top heavy anyway, and your opponent will most likely run out of ressources to clear before you run out of Ysera's emerald Dragonswarm. And it's better than OG Ysera, since the reward won't be situational -dragons are almost always good, and you get them somewhat spaced out. 

    Unleashed Ysera will also provide  a steady input of videos about good or bad luck. 

    What's not to love?(Except the artwork. I do not recognise her.)

    I watched way more than 3h on playHearthstone, but didn't get any drops yet. I do have connected twitch and battle.net,  I did not miss large chunks - was regulary checking in- so what could be the issue here?

    After the reveal of Azure Explorer I'd say we have enough ultra cutie to cross that one off.

    I love the Cutlass, made some 300wins in wild with it, and like to try in in standard. But I neither own Captain Greenskin nor Edwin. What are good alternatives? Did you test any of the following cards?

    Academic espionage- because I don't care about winrate? And a second cutlass?

    A pirate-or attack synergy, like the  growing 3/3, or the combo-pirate that buffs your weapon?

    Maybe Shadowstep&Evil Miscreant for more options?

    I'm playing a few decks a the moment, just wanted to see whether this random legendary I got may fit anywhere.

    As a lot of decks feature some kind of N'Zoth+Sylvannas+Khartut Defender-package right now, so how do you counter this massive swing turns? Especially resurection priest does really unholy things with some spells drawn into the mix. 

     

    So, to counter this, has anybody tried Mojomaster Zihi? I suppose she could be good in a rogue deck, where you can bounce and shuffle her back, ever denying a 9 or 10 manaplay for your opponent.

    What would then be my decks win condition? Please contribute with any ideas you may have how to build a deck that never reaches 9/10 mana, and capitalises on a opponent's full hand, as well has some cheap resource generation.

    What about Subdue? I found it to be a good card (not in your deck, since I lack to many of both Epics and Legendarys), and it's cheaper than big game Hunter, while also synergizing with wild Pyromancer and Shrivalla.

    I only ever got one, which I met again in the next run with the same hero. I wondered about this card, for I never got a second one. Can you elaborate, whether several Friends fuse, or if you get several of the same or declining strength?

    I have a golden mogu cultist, so I've been having a blast running it with innervate, wild growth, zephrys, swipe and elise.

    Summoning Ra is fun!

    I tried your deck, but made some changes: ramping up is a necessity, but Wild growth is plain worse than Jade Blossom, and Swipe does not pull it's weight, instead cluttering your hand against slower decks (the only decks you have a chance of defeating), which is why I replaced it with Worthy Expedition, a card that is cheaper, and often more versaitalle.

    So, some speculation what this event will be: the story still plays in Uldum, which means there are a lot of tombs to rise buried minions from. Which could also be connected to the about then fully unlocked tombs of terror.

    Also, Madame Lazul evidently wants to rise the old gods, which will then suceed sometimes after 4th october.  Probably around haloween, Blizzard often reinvents existing holydays.

    I suppose if N'Zoth returns, the other old gods will follow- maybe Lazul will first recruit him, then N'Zoth will use his necromantic abilities to bring the others back.

    Nice one. There are a lot of strong decks out there, I had a lot of trouble winning with my miracle mage.

    Another possible angle quests could go to, is countering the metagame. If there is a surplus of one class -say above 15/16% - for some time, there could be a 80G quest to beat this class. This would make the meta change more on a daily basis.
