Strange one, I think after some experimenting noone will play this. You probably need 4+Combo cards+ 2 Obelisks to make this combo viable, and for a win condition 15 damage split between up to 3 enemies is just lame.
The cheapest use I could figure out was: Paladin, with completed quest: Desert Obelisk, Garrison Commander, 2*Heropower: 11mana, could be used with [Hearthstone Card (Imperator Thaurissan) Not Found] or coin. Well, seems...barely playable? At least the combo would only need 2 additional cards, and Garrison Commander could be a sensible inclusion in a Quest focused paladin deck.
Playing a burgle rogue in wild casual, my opponent plays a all over the place thief priest. Would have be fun, if he didn't ROPE ME FOR 19 CONSECUTIVE TURNS. Just why do you have to waste everyone's time like this?
What the title says. I love how there are a number of easy to find guides for several themes, but I miss a laddering guide, which would explain the difference between ranked/ casual, list the number of stars necessary to climb, the win streak rules, and the contents of the monthly reward chests.
BUT: necromancing paladins? Whatabout the treasured class identity?
And I am a bit disappointed, that the quest is so strict: Reborn is a keyword from only one expansion, which will restrict deckbuilding tremendously. So if there's a deck for this card, there is also exactly only ONE deck for this card. Which will be sad for the 1/9 of the budgetplayers that got this one.
1. A bit more generosity: as previously stated: up the disenchant value of common and rare cards to 1/4 of their craft-value. Also increase the number of quests that give 60 G or more, or increase their appearencerate.
2. Some achivements: having a goal really motivates someone! Some cardbacks, a few packs, a few cards that may only be obtained this way, it wouldn't be much more than cosmetics. Maybe gift a classic pack for every 200wins, an alternate hero for playing 10k pirates/elementals/beasts/mechs...As well as cosmetics. Titels wouldn't cost Blizzard anything.
Maybe even weekly quests?
3. Make wild more accessibile. A lot of people whine about a stale (standard) meta, and would never consider switching to wild, since they only know about Big Priest's reign. More balance updates for the wild meta, the possibility to buy wild packs with gold, and cheap access to the wild adventures (2,3€/$ to buy it, wings have to be opened with gold) would widen the metagame for a lot of players, and would allow more casual or new players to go wild.
When I log into Hearthstone, on the Battle Net Site there is a news window: second week of firefestival, new challenges and rewards! Together with last weeks Rafaam picture, as well as an asortement of packs and gold.
Well, yesterday and today I logged in with an empty quest log, and did not receive any legendary quests. As I didn't find an anoucement for legendary quests anywhere, this should not come as a surprise, but on the Battle Net news thing at least 3 Saviors of Uldum packs were depicted, and now I wonder whether a quest that will grant us this third pack will show up.
Is their any way to generate or tutor Taunt minions? While the stats are nice, it will only be playable if there is a way to make sure, you have 1+ Taunts in Hand.
Cool concept, but let me critise yet another card: Yor'shaj the Shrieker. Add Yor'shaj and C'thun to any deck, and you have an alternative win condition. And it also is a great token card: Yor'shaj + 1,2 Boardbuffs, and you build a strong board ~about as strong as the twinspell treants~ with at most three cards! Of course, this is wild, and such a combo wouldn't be unheard of, but in combination with the "C'thun deck in two cards" this card may make the other changes irrelevant, since it is good enough on its own to cary the archetype.
Second succesfull run: 31.39 with shaman. Had a deck basicaly consisting out of grimmer patrons (don't know their name in english) and Hagatha's Touch...combined quite well, won round 5 or 6 with the last three bosses.
I got every common double as well as the rare cards. Got 5 legendarys, and I stopped buying packs one week in, and just saved up for the adventure. Since I bought that, I saved everything for the next expansion. Probably won't craft anything anymore.
After I was defeated by Garr with Lazul for 4 times- after I increasingly modified my deck against him- I read the OP's claim and played warrior. Really easy in comparision, sadly my Laptop disconnected from the internet twice for some time and I needed 40min and 15sek. Stupid weak Wi-Fi...
That is really complicated, I also do not really see, why you play, say, hunter with only mage and druid cards. There is simply no hunter left in this, so I fail to see any reason why you'd have to select it at the start. And thus, if you want to play magedruid, you just do, no deckbuilding restriction whatsoever- which strikes me as overpowered.
So instead of a pick-a-class- and that doesn't matter at all system, you either make a deckbuilding restriction, that make broken combos harder ( no more than 5 class cards from each, rest neutral/all class cards have to cost 4 or less...) or you make the restrictions miniquests in themselves: "in a deck with at least 10 neutral beasts you may use Hunter and Druid.
Also, what's up with these relations? Some look weird. I suggest looking up the daily quests, which two Classes are mostly put together.
Your idea for the priest quest is extremly weak. You'd almost always be better of running [Hearthstone Card (Shadow Form) Not Found]. So counter-suggestion: your healing effects deal damage to enemys instead. Which would still make it hard to build a deck, but you could stabilze yourself somewhat.
For the plagues: the old egyptian ones would be an interesting ldea, but since there is no reference to real world religions at all in Hearthstone, at least one should be different. Also, I do not think a plague of Frogs is likely: given the Expansion art, we see frogs accompanying the League of Explorers, why would they do that, if they aren't on the side of good?(which could be a sign, that Hagatha changes sides)
Why was Bite changed? I get it, when other cards display something too sexual, or too grim/goory, but a cat biting a monster: there was no display of violence coming from humanoids nor against humanoids. Why didn't they just cut the blood, like in Eviscerate?
Kind of a lengthy one, but the anticipatiin during your partners turn is nice: you actually can look forward to a good outcome. So, mostly a good brawl, albeit with little replayability. And my partner didn't knew how windfury works..
Even Shaman will like this. There are some scary totems.

5/5 for Cuteness.

Intriguing read, thank you! I really would like to see the deck in action once.

2900 G, 1000Dust. Dalaran Heist was costly!
Already? NOO! Due to the 4 Rise of Shadow wings I purchased, my gold coffera are to empty for this! And then it looks interesting too!
