Nope, not yet. In Official Rules PDF there is:

"Within 48 hours of the conclusion of each applicable Broadcast, (...) the applicable Rewards will be credited to the Battle.net account (...)".

So in theory the rewards should appear within 48 hours.

I lost against a similar Malygos Hunter recently... But the opponent also played Springpaw - synergy with Starving Buzzard :D

I totally forgot that Buzzard is now 2-mana after nerf reverts :D (btw. image still shows 5-mana here on OoC yet, in case anybody is confused)

In my opinion it's strange that they decided to publish Leaderboards for Classic mode. Yes, it fits because other formats have it but...

This format won't change in the nearest future, the meta won't be evolving or something.

But I started playing in 2016, so I don't have that nostalgic feelings about this. Happy that others can experience it once again :)

My complaint is that it came out at the worst possible moment for others - to try it out. We have biggest Standard rotation ever, Arena got interesting too, because of introduction of the Core. Duels got a big update... There's so many modes to try when they feel fresh now.

Why couldn't they release it right after Blizzcon, when we had a dead silence period without many (any?) news ?

Same here. I didn't even restart to update the client and it appeared in the shop. Insta bought it in seconds, it's the skin I wanted the most :D

Still have 10k gold left for Barrens packs at the start :)

"Duels General Updates" - slightly vague description...

"updated the general game flow to offer Passive/Active Treasures, adjust Health values, and offer card buckets at new intervals throughout a Duels run"

It would be nice to know the rules, before playing, you know :D

True, and with new Core set changes, they removed some Class removals... so it might be harder to stop, especially when Druid gets perfect draw order.

Omg it can be disgusting in Duels indeed :O

As Swizard said under the main news reveal... Firemancer Flurgl + Toxfin = Poisonous AoE... PROFIT

Different amounts. Many of them give 200 XP. Some of them have few levels to complete. 2 level ones give 100 XP (1 lvl), 200 XP (2 lvl).

And few of them have 3 levels to complete (100 XP - 100 XP - 500 XP).

Interesting card, very specific card draw.

Unfortunately too slow to be widely played in my opinion.

The card has some potential, but otherwise, I think it can be better in a combo deck. Or rather some control-combo.

Quote From JackJimson

I'd assume there will be as this is a major rotation.

I haven't tried, but if you start an arena run and a heroic duel run, do you get a free ticket for both?

So far we only had a free ticket for Arena.

However, Duels have so called "themes", at the moment it's "Wizard Duels" (you can see the name on the main Duels screen).

I'm not sure what their plan is, when the "theme" changes. They might change expansions available (and card buckets, along with it). New expansion is coming now, new Standard rotation and possibly - new Duels Theme as well.

So when the expansion pool changes, it would be fair of them to just "retire" the existing "old" Duels runs - to keep the equal playing field.

With Arena, "2 loss strategy" for sure worked for years now. With Heroic Duels we can't be sure, so you can try your luck if you want :)

I for sure will try to end on 2 loss in Duels, there's not that much to lose in my opinion :)

Yes it can deal 8+8 in a turn. Raging Felscreamer on turn 4, and then you can coin it on 5 or wait for turn 6 to use Hero Power to deal 8+8... pretty scary, especially if meta gets slower, and it is possible, because Blizzard removed many burst (finisher) cards.

I am not a fan of lore or a flavour, I can say I don't care about it in 99% of cases.

But this is 1% where I found it funny enough and it fits in what the card does :D

The question is - after we play the buffed copy - 3/4 - does it have the same "Frenzy" just like this 1/3 version? Flavour text strongly suggests that it is the case :D And if so - then this can be a strong card in some Midrange Hunter...

User here, FortyDust  - mentioned that Mercenaries is more like Darkest Dungeon, and I agree with that.

DD is a roguelike game, you have a team of 3 heroes, going through procedurally generated dungeons, you can choose your path to some degree...

And then, each of those 3 heroes have few unique abilities. Combat is tactical, positioning is really important in DD.

DD also had "no combat" events. Lastly, DD doesn't have any deck building part whatsoever.

Basically sounds like Mercenaries to me :D

Ikr, I like LoE theme overall, but man... overusing it so many times definitely makes it feel less exciting.

Let's wait until we know some more.

I bet on - yes. It's about 2 months after expansion release.

Don't forget - they have enough upcoming announcements for Blizzcon in February:

1. New game mode (expected before new set),

2. New Hearthstone Year and Hall of Fame cards (?),

3. Classic Set rework (?),

4. Next expansion announcement (or just a teaser?).

Seems like enough for Blizzcon alone...

The most time efficient thing you can possibly do is - try to complete 2-4 quests at once. Or reroll for ones which allow you to complete multiple of them at once.

I try to do so, for example - reroll for Dailies "play 3 hunter / X / Y battles".

Then I can do at once - Dailies "play 3 hunter / A / B battles", "play 3 hunter / C / D battles"  AND  Weeklies "Win 7 ranked battles", "Spend 500 mana".

Once I complete Dailies, I stop playing Rankeds. Then come back in 2-3 days, to do 2-4 quests again. Ranked wins contribute towards reaching Diamond 10 / Diamond 5 for a month as well, so that's good.

And yes, the requirements to win in a mode you don't like, feels bad man. I don't like BG, so I have to reroll those every time...

I don't recommend abusing it but, for now, you can complete Dailies "play 3 A / B / C Class battles" with simply conceding at the start.

I counted all Darkmoon Faire achievements, just being curious what is easily achievable for F2P player. I didn't count DF achievements which require specific Legendary card to complete.

The result is - 7800 XP, which is about 50% of total 14800 XP. So yes, you don't get much really.

Duels achievements are probably one-time only, so, I don't count them.

Some of the achievements are very specific tho, which means you probably won't complete them without trying to meet the requirements... but that's probably a good thing, who would like achievements to be laughably easy? I can't wait to see how many people will try to complete Darkmoon Rabbit achievements :D

I collect my personal data, how much gold I collect between expansions (Daily Quests + 10g for 3 wins). My average is 7500 gold between expansions.

I recalculated that in current system, 4200 gold from Quests + around 2550 gold for playing time, so 67 level reached in new system.

6750 gold vs 7500 gold, means I will get 90% what I was getting... In other words - current system means 10% less GOLD between expansions for me. Please, don't ask me for all details on calculations, I might create forum thread for that.

I calculated only pure gold gain there. Reward Track gives us - current expansion packs (7) and previous expansion packs (9), I have not taken those into account. Remember, we were getting Legendary Quests for 5-8 new packs, at each expansion start anyways...

EDIT - if we get some small bonus for wins (in XP for Reward Track), I obviously didn't count that, we don't know, how big that bonus is.
