I just got DC'd twice in a row, fuck.
This one does not give you 4 life though. Weapon warrior decks are pretty suicidal as it is, that keeps them in check.
Oh and Indiana Ford.

I've dc'd from two matches I was winning, once right on lethal, and the only match I finished was one I lost to some shaman minion spam deck =/

I draft four Defias Ringleaders in Arena and in six matches I don't get the coin even once for the turn one combo. There's only a 1/64 (1.56%) chance of that happening. RNGesus hates me.
I don't know how Hafu does it, but I always seem like I'm on the wrong side of the odds in Arena. Fuck my luck.

Turn 1 ringleader is overrated imo. But it is possible people have completely forgotten about it enough that they screw up their mulligan or something.

Arena. It's easy to make the 50g difference. 2-3 wins and you'll make 50g, some dust, and get a pack. You get a pack for 0 wins.
Thanks for the response.
If you average 3 wins or more, arena is more value/gold. If you average less but think arena is fun then you have to decide for yourself if it's worth it.
3 wins is usually 50 gold + a pack, so that gets you your 150 invested back.

They just posted they are doing emergency server maintenance 5 minutes ago. (hint: the world is ending)
I would keep Jaraxxus unless there's another card you badly want. I mean 400 dust vs. 1600 cost to create another legendary - not a good value.
If only Hearthstone let players trade cards, I'd offer to trade you something for it. :/
Finally the dogs got nerfed. Whenever I play in the single-digit ranks like 9-6 or so, I run into this brick wall of hunters that all play the exact same decks.
Arrow, arrow, arrow, bird+wolf+dogs, arrow, arrow, pig+bite+bite death.
I'm not sure upping the cost from 2 to 3 is the correct nerf. Because the combo-cards like birds and wolfs cost 1-2 so having the combos cost a total of 1 more, means almost nothing. It just means the nonsense starts 1 turn later.

It should prevent some the double hounds, buzzard, double hyneas shit I see people do.
Probably to stop people from disconnecting every 5 minutes
I thought the patch caused it? I had no problems before that.
Okay, I was wrong. I like that new Warrior weapon.
I've gotten zero wins before and gotten no pack. It was when Arena first went to 12 wins, though, so maybe it was a bug.

I'm really not sure why I keep trying to draft warlock in arenas.. I should know better by now

Yeah likely just a bug. You're supposed to always get a pack.

4/2 for four cost. When the weapon is destroyed, it deals one damage to all minions.

thanks to Unleash the Hounds, got a nice 400 dust from my golden copy.
time for another legendary. thoughts on the list?
King Crush
Archmage Antonidas
Prophet
Lorewalker Cho
Tinkmaster
Greenskin
Hogger
Ilidan
Malygos
there's some other legendaries I need, but those are the only ones I think might be useful

I'd go with King Krush, just for the hilarity. No-one expects King Krush. Archmage might be good if you're playing Miracle Mage.
I'm glad I did my dailies just before the patch (2 wins Hunter/Druid, 2 wins Hunter/Mage, 3 wins any class), met my first Miracle Rogue in ranked as well, though they didn't seem to have all the cards needed. They never drew an Auctioneer, in fact I think they played one minion the whole game.

I like Hogger and hate facing him. Faceless a Hogger of your own is twice the fun! He's one of my favorite legendaries i have...He seems to always be useful.
Cho is really cool...I don't think there's ever been a turn I've played him that it didn't just make my opponent pause...But the same problem he causes for your opponent he also causes for you.
Archmage-Played against one recently in late game and he worked really well for my opponent..
These would be my three choices...Not Illidian..He sucks.
So I assume you already have Cairne, Ragnaros, Leeroy, VanCleef, Ysera, Grommash and Sylvanas? Illidan isn't worth it. Cho is a gimmick legendary that is only particularly great in minion-heavy decks. Tinkmaster is too inconsistent. Greenskin is only truly great in weapon-heavy decks. Prophet limits you to Priest and Priest at the moment isn't doing that well oustide of some top players. Antonidas can be fun, but you have to build a deck around him (or always keep 1-mana spells in your hand) to truly get consistent value out of him.
Cairne, Rag, Leeroy and Sylvanas are great neutral legendaries that can fit in any deck without specifically needing to build around them. VanCleef is great in Miracle Rogue, a deck that is doing pretty great right now. Grommash beats out Krush because with the UTH nerf Hunter is less viable and Control Warrior is doing great right now. Ysera can offer insane late-game power by just playing her; she doesn't need to survive a turn to do anything.
It'd help to know what you plan on using your legendary for.

yeah I have all the good ones, which is why I'm now torn.
half the time I get a new card and then figure out how to do something with it. Could Miracle Maly, or Miracle Mage, probably the two most likely.
Hogger is tempting tho for sure amusement factor
Malygod
Then I'd go with either Malygos, Hogger or Krush, with preference to Hogger or Krush. Malygos can be insane, but he is also a 9-mana play which makes him late-game and there is a possibility of just not getting to play any spells with him. Hogger has instant effect and can be really powerful when played on an empty board (or just empty on the opponent's side) Faceless him next turn and hilarity ensues. Krush is a 9-mana play, like Malygos, but contrary to Maly, he has an instant effect on the game due to Charge. That makes him a great finisher.
I say Krush as a finisher if you plan on playing a lot of Hunter, Malygos if you can put it in a deck in which you can very consistently get value out of him and Hogger for more general utility.
Greenskin for the Parrots.

I was thinking today about cards I've never seen anyone play.
I know only once I've seen a Wisp played.
I've never seen a Hungry Crab played.
I've seen ETC played once, and I got to Thoughtsteal a copy too in the same game..That has a great animation.
I've only once seen that legendary gnome card played where you the invention.
Are there any cards you've never seen played, or played only 1 time??

Oh...yeah, forgot about a few you've listed there.
Same for me:
-No Manastorm
-No Angry Chicken
and No Pit Lord...
I've seen Headcrack a number of times and while I like the idea behind it, it's never a viable card to use...Cool getting a direct dmg card back if you combo it, but 3 mana for 2 dmg isn't really worth it unless it's late game.
