Personally, if you're never doing end content and you want pvp then play the best pvp priest in the game, undead.
They're the only ones with access to Devouring Plague which makes such a massive difference in pvp it's borderline cheating.
If you're sticking with alliance then NE is a good choice, the shadowmeld talent is great for keeping hidden whilst defending flags in AB, for example. I would go human, not for the spirit buff but for perception which is great for detecting those sneaky rogues / druids.
I beat the murloc boss first try with Reno + stealth minions and -1 attack for enemies (which as he has murlocs is pretty OP) and 2 treasures that let you gain a mana crystal and discover a card for each boss you've killed so turn one I had a full hand and 8 mana! Plus I had DK Jaina so it was pretty easy.
The second chapter boss got me though with Finley :(
I first heard about it on a Hearthstone podcast I was listening to as they were talking about the Twitch drops. However, I have tried to find it in Twitch's T&C and I cannot find it anywhere. Some people on reddit tested it and found it to be true by seeing if the viewer was lost when a stream was muted. Then there are others saying that's not the case *shrug*.
I am not sure it would be something Twitch would advertise anyway. It could also be down to Chrome and nothing to do with Twitch.
I'll go with just turning the volume down if I'm not actively watching it just in case. I usually watch all the EU / NA games I can anyway.
Can I just say something that might help those that are not getting packs.
You might just be unlucky which is very possible, I personally only got two packs but I learned something that helped.
If you have the volume muted (so there is an X over the volume button) you are not counted as a viewer on Twitch and therefore not eligible for packs. I say this as I know there are lots of people (including myself in the past) that had a tab open and muted just so I was 'watching' the stream.
You can have the volume right down to just above the minimum and that still works. I don't know whether muting the tab (in Chrome) works or not, it should but I've not tried it.
I keep all my gold for expansions. Buying pre-order bundles plus whatever gold I have by the time it launches (usually 3-4k+) means I have all the cards that matter.
Once you get to the point of duplicating and playing Chef Nomi (which usually takes two turns each time) you are taking so much fatigue damage you cannot survive to play all the Chef Nomi you created.
After this weekend's season play, Blizzard have to do something about the inner fire / divine spirit combo. I know it's been around forever but a lot of games were either decided really early on or was just a waiting game on who drew it first.
Blizzard only needed to look at the enthusiast forums for Hearthstone to see countless good ideas to adjust cards but no, let's go with the boring mana cost nerf.
Do they even do any work? Must he great to work for team 5.
This is the situation that Amazon want you to be in (otherwise they would just offer a direct discount). They want you to be tempted to buy more amazon coins.
Just keep the unused coins in your account and use them next expansion when you feel like investing.
The recent bundle is available in the in game as I bought it for amazon coins.
Decks that beat it are not the issue. The issue is how polarising the card is. A turn 4 or 5 pocket galaxy increases the win rate of the deck massively to the point you may as well concede depending on the deck you're playing.
If they just increase Dr Boom mana cost then it does nothing to fix it. Even at 10 mans a warrior has more than enough removal before having to use the rush on mechs becomes a thing. They need to adjust the mechanics of Dr Boom.
They'll probably unbuff Lunas Pocket Galaxy to some degree or conjures calling (not both).
If they mess with spirit / divine combo (which they should) then they need to buff priest elsewhere as it's back to the bottom for that class otherwise. The wall quest priest simply isn't good enough.
I have all the cards I want but if I didn't I would definitely hold off crafting mage / warrior cards.
I reckon those two classes are going to see a big swing with the nerf bat. You could argue that you'll get refunds but Blizzard don't always nerf the expensive card and are well known for nerfing cheaper cards that make the expensive ones redundant.
I cannot remember the situation but I was offered Cabal Shadow Priest against a Doomsayer which was obviously not what I wanted. Thankfully I did get offered silence too. He can definitely offer some odd choices now and then.
The card text says "wish for the perfect card", it doesn't mention the wish coming true :P
Played wow from launch but nowadays I play to do the story then unsubscribe and wait a few months for more content. I used to be playing it every day for hours.
I would say wow made me play hearthstone. I don't play card games really and if it wasn't for the wow link I wouldn't have tried hearthstone.

I bought it for real money (gasp).

I "watched" all 3 days, not a single pack. In reality I watched all the EU matches and some of the NA ones.
I wouldn't go out of my way to leave it running again. It was worth watching the EU matches just to see the Feno vs Casie drama :D

It did not make the games fun to watch.
Excellent as always!
What happened to Dog?
I'll just DE Lunas Pocket Galaxy. I cannot see that ever getting played again.

Very well done. Context for a card game and some of the cards contained within are always appreciated.
Thank you.

Yep that's it, was thinking it must be somewhere :)
