Yes, I believe it is happening and perhaps even widespread now. I'm just glad I can put it behind me. It never occurred to me it may just be a bug, and not working as intended.
Of course, that will make games you lose where you got back the same cards you mulliganed that much worse, knowing now that you should have not had that happen, and it is indeed a bug yet to be fixed.

Wisp vs Stonetusk Boar vs Eye for an Eye are my current choices for Arena. I mean, damn. I can't decide if Boar beats out Eye for an Eye. I think the surprise factor of Eye for an Eye may be enough to make me want to try it, just for the lols.
It took me a couple of seconds to even realize that two of the legandaries were golden. Just insane.

Nothing like fighting a guy with 4 legendarys. Get spanked by a blood hoof being reborn b2b tirion b2b armign the guy with a sword + being reborn with a divine sheild+1 hp then a yesera the next turn.
I've had good fun playing Paladin recently, but I had to add a couple owls for the fucking Highmanes in every other game.
Not when i steal Slam from warrior and deadly poision from rogue :/
So since discussion seems to slowly turn towards how to deal with Hunter, what do people think of buffing the mana cost of Kill Command from 3 to 4 or 5?
Honestly, in a lot of the games I have versus Hunter, that seems to be what finishes me off and prevents their next turn deaths.

I don't think Kill Command should be changed. 3 or 5 damage for 3 mana seems pretty fair if you compare it to spells from other classes.
I dunno. It's almost always 3 for 5 and aside from the Mage and Warlock Soulfire, I can't think of anyone else who gets that good a ratio except for the Priest 2 for 5....and that's against Heroes only.
3 for 5 is actually even a slightly better damage to mana ratio than Fireball (slightly).
I know the drawback is that it can't do it without a beast on the board, but that drawback doesn't seem to matter really for Hunters.
Soulfire, granted, is the absolute best mana to damage, but the drawback is a real one.
I dunno, it's probably fine and I'm probably wrong. Just trying to think of a way to get through the current Hunter meta without playing one and thinking of the reasons I fall to them.
Well, if you have the reverse knife juggler I suggested, putting the crow down basically becomes impossible. It'd get killed the moment you try to play it. As would any timber wolf.
It's way easier to get 5 damage from Kill Command than it is to get the extra damage from Ice Lane.
I wouldn't say anyone is right or wrong when discussing something like this.
While double Kill Command sucks I'd say the way Hunters got you to 10ish health is worse than getting finished by that spell.
I played some Hunter today for the 60g / 5 wins quest and I won 5 out of 6 games.
Cards that won me these games were:
- 1 x Kill Command (nout double)
- 2 x smart / lucky play of various traps + Eagle Eye Bow
- 1 x UTH
- 1 x Leeroy
I'd say that's a pretty fair spread. It's definitely not as bad as getting wrecked by Force of Nature + Savage Roar every other Druid game...
To be honest the only thing that I would change for Hunters is up the cost of UTH to 3.
4 is definitely too much while 2 is too easy to abuse with other 2 drops.
Double Kill Command is never what drops me, though. I don't think I've ever seen a Hunter do a double Kill Command, honestly.
It's a sequence (or variation of) buzzard, unleash the hounds, timber wolf, Hero Power, Kill Command for the finisher. Or something akin to it. It's not the spell itself that I even object to, it's how well the synergy works that makes it the deathblow.
If I had to avoid falling to just 10 life it'd be no biggie

.Different sites will often put out rankings based on the current meta. Here's one for example.

spending cash before you unlock everything seems silly.
Half the fun of opening new packs is hoping you will get that one card, at this stage you dont know the game yet.
Also there will be expansions with new cards.

Have you unlocked all classes and their basic cards (leveled up each class to 10)? I'd do that first and play a couple of rounds in ranked. If you want to go ahead and build a good deck from the start, then spending $40 right away isn't a bad idea. There's also a PVE expansion coming that will offer new cards, but might require real money or in game gold to access.
You should probably unlock all the classes and level them all to 10 to unlock all the basic cards before dropping real money on it. You'll get a ton of gold for it too.
Holy fuck, but how will it work to your advantage?
It says all minions, so I'd say it work nicely to fuck zoowarlock

Combo with UTH to clear the board.
Actually, they wouldn't have charge so you wouldn't be able to crash them immediately. At least equalize the board I guess.

That'll also be nice for removing really scary threats and replacing them with a 2/2 as well.
Some decks work by pushing all their hand out early for a big minion, then you just play that and watch them cry.
Edit:
Double Edit: Where did you find that by the way?

It'll just give them all 2/2s though.

thanks, love the list is very detailed
Its a Druid class card
This card is kind of like an AOE version of hex/poly. Should be good vs Legendary hunters, not that great vs zoo.

I wish you could play this offline, at least let me be able to set up my deck.

Oh, my mistake then. Maybe Thalnos + Swipe for a board clear then? Would cost a full 10 without Innervate though. Starfall could work too.
because it's a druid card? I'm not sure what you mean by lazy.

Druid arena run with 3 innervates and Cairne.
Turn 1: Coin, innervate, innervate, Cairne, ggs.
I also have black knight, both ancients, and swipe.

I think he means that there's already a pre-existing Treants card that's 2/2, so it'll just be re-used for this spell.
I think.

Too bad "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!" isn't an emote. That would be great to use after you unleash hounds/bring in Ysera/etc.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I want Siege of Orgrimmar quotes.

...I am a Garrosh / Warrior fanboy, though.
Friend of mine was wondering what happens first in regards to Rivendare, the death, or Baron Rivendare effect. We're thinking Baron dies before his effect kicks in due to that card where if another friendly minion dies, you draw a card. I forget the name, but if it gets hit with an AE and dies when everything else dies, you draw no cards.
Disgusting. Garrosh is literally the worst character introduced in WoW.
