He said he only plays standar (sic), and that he was only buying wild packs for the dust of the legendary within the first ten packs.
I agree that buying one pack at a time is definitely the way to go IF he decides to follow through with his plan, but I think he would his standard collection more by buying packs of the last three expansions, because he avoids the loss of value due to the card to dust to card conversion and will end up with more cards he can actually use in standard.
I would advise against it. If you only play standard you're probably better off buying packs of the latest standard set. The reasoning is that the conversion from dust to card is always worse than opening the desired card directly. There are seven sets in wild at the moment, even assuming that it doesn't take ten packs for each set to get the "first ten" legendary, on average you'd spend probably 3500 gold to get the 2800 dust, plus whatever change you get from the remaining cards. I haven't done the math or calculated the probabilities for the rarities, but I would be surprised if you'd come out much better than a 1:1 gold to dust ratio. So for your 3.5k gold you'd barely get more than two new cards to play with.
Especially with Descend of Dragons coming out today, I think it is much better to buy those packs, you'll get more cards to keep in your collection and play with, and fewer cards you need to craft, plus some dust.
At first glance this looks insanely good. The whole set seems to elevate the power level to K&C levels and beyond. With so many potentially really powerful cards it remains to be seen which decks end being the most reliable.
However, I feel a little overwhelmed by cards like this one, which seem to be bound to be staples for the next 15 month or so. Where can the next expansion go from here, how good is such an extreme power spike for the health of the game long term?
For standard it clearly seems like a set up for a future expansion, when they might add more pirate synergy. In wild it might help pirate warrior to pull the class out of the bottom tier. We'll see. Maybe I should re-craft patches?
It's assassinate on a stick with a situational upside. I think it will really depend on the meta. If there are a lot of applications or if the meta is slow and value oriented enough to make single target removal valuable it is probably going to be played. If the meta is very aggro I see less potential, I guess it depends on the rest of the set.
Seems safe to say though that treant druid might just have gotten its way to tier 0 blocked.
Meh kinda brawl, but the pack this weak was great, regular nozdormu and golden whitemane, finally completing my classic legendary collection (until the next HoF rotation, I guess).
I switch back and forth. I have a lot of hero portraits, only missing the paid ones as well as Nemsy and Liadrin. I usually decide which hero fits the decktype best, Tyrande for wall priest, 1k Anduin for combo, 1k Malfurion for token, Elise for quest, things like that.
I am definitely experiencing some issues, freezes, weird graphics artefacts (usually accompanied by freezes) and the occasional disconnect. There have been artefacts like placeholder boxes for while for me, but it seems to have gotten worse in the last update. Killing the app and restarting usually resolves the issues, temporarily at least.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I didn't see a "Hearthstone bugs" thread to post this in.
My problem is this: I was playing a game this morning, on the NA server, when suddenly a disconnect happened, the screen turned black, then the "Reconnecting to your game" message popped up. And then - nothing happened.
After a minute or so I restarted the client on my phone, to be greeted with the same message when the loading screen disappeared, again, black background. I switched to a different network and restarted, still the same. I restarted my phone, to no avail.
I waited until the phone screen turned off, then woke it to find an "unable to connect to your game message" with an unclickable "ok", restarted again to again see the "Reconnecting" message. It's been like that for over an hour now.
I tried to post in the Blizzard support forum, but don't have my authenticator on me (still on an old device, never migrated it), so I couldn't log in.
I'm pretty happy overall, especially after my abysmal RoS experience. Out of 174 packs I got 11 legendaries (2 gold), plus the freebie and two preorder legendaries, 40 epics (6 doubles, 2 golden (which happened to be doubles, so 800 dust), all but one rare and all commons. Plus some 6000 dust all told.
Nine legendaries would have been average (more or less), so I'm ahead of the curve which is nice.
If it works like that, that all three cards get the bonus, then Omega Assembly is getting even stronger. And with the new Stonehill Defender and Elysianna it might actually be sort of busted in Warrior.
Arguably it didn't take a genius to figure out bomb warrior was going to be good. I didn't watch the stream, but opened Blastmaster Boom and the rest of the bomb package, so there you go. I don't know how many people are actually watching this and how much that influences the first experience playing yourself, but I don't think it's really a big issue.
Sorry, I must have missed that, but Why can you not use Auchenai? Even if the damage on minions is cancelled out, the three damage buff should still apply. And it could serve as a 3 dmg ping face.
Could be very good, especially if Priest gets a little more dragon support.
Same. Had some coins to spare though, luckily.
Like so many said, a fine nerf, but unexpected. I don't remember 1hp making a difference while being slaughtered by Galakrond, but ok.

Handlock's volcano?
Pretty sure Kripp will provide that himself.

What do you think about Sindragosa? Is there any significant freeze synergy?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any ideas?
