ZZMitch won it all, but my Shaman was something like 6-1 throughout the tournament only losing finally to Mitch at the end.
Anyway, of the four Hearthstone tournaments we've had here on NeoGAF, I've participated in 3. I was 7th out of 44 for tournament #1, 1st out of 32 for tournament #2, and 2nd out of 33 for tournament #4. ZZMitch was first for the last two tournaments. Not sure about others. All I want to do is run three of my different Shaman decks, stop making us play more than one hero guys

Hah, this was frankly my problem. When I lost with my paladin deck (the only deck I've really worked on in the past 3 months), I was kinda screwed. I know I could have won with the paladin deck if I had different draws but I had lost the series already, even though I ended up getting a win with both my other decks.
THAT SAID, I think it would be cool to use the blizcon rules for the next tournament. It runs contrary to what I just said because I can't get by on one single deck. And the rule I like about blizzcon is that once you win with a deck, it is banned for the rest of the set.
I also like the ESL rules that they had with 3 queued picks followed by 2 blind picks in a best of 5.

Damn...was hoping to get 1600 dust for him (would've loved to get sylvanas or something). I don't have enough to craft anything I need right now though..

That feeling when you hover over an orange card and it turns out to be tinkmaster over spark...
I just watched the blackrock trailer at 0.25 speed to look at cards at the very beginning.
These cards aren't always representive (dark bomb was show has a 4/1 monster for example) ,but often enough they are.
Anyway:
We already know the first one,Rend Blackhand.
The others are:
3 Mana 8/4 Dragon
10/2 for 5
9 mana dragon
9 mana Human (most likely Victor Nefearian)
The first one is probably fake, has the worst effect ever,or is excluive to one of the bosses.
There is no way the second with these stats has charge,so it's either fake , terrible or a boss card.
The last 2 could just be boss monsters,but I would really like Victor Nefarian in his human form has a card.

Decent deal on packs if anyone was considering buying some anytime soon. Comes to something like %30 off.
http://www.gamesdeal.com/hearthstone-deck-of-cards-dlc-1-package-pc-mac.html?a_aid=slickdeals
Sounds like there's a limit of 10 packs, which is kinda lame, but still a decent deal. PC only, FYI

Looks like double Nefarian to me. Nefarian the Dragon and Lord Victor Nefarious the Human. Get one for finishing Blackwing Lair and the other for Blackwing Descent?

I am thinking it could be either choose one: dragon or human form, or could be human in hand but battlecry: dragon form. And the only way to get human form is cards like ancestral spirit.
Well a lot of the art in HS is taken almost directly from wowtcg. Even chillwind yeti is a zoomed in shot from a spell from wowtcg (I think a warlock spell).
Such is the might of a chillwind yeti, so strong and gruff.

Or is it just a frightful and scared yeti?

Is this a legit site?

If you've gotten any such packs before (like if you bought Reaper of Souls) it also counts against it. These packs are also classic only.

Nefarian could have an on board transform effect like Mim's head too. I'm sure it'll at least be interesting. Makes me wonder if Undead Onixya is a card, or at least an adventure boss/minion.
It's just what Hearthstone needs, giant zombie dragons!!

That site does look shady as hell. And I am pretty sure they are not selling legit retail products. I am not saying you won't get the packs you buy, but they are selling promotional packs. The reason why you can't buy more than 10 is blizzard doesn't let you use more than 10 promo codes.
It looks like it.He could work like a much stronger cairne, a Druid of the Fang ("If you hold a dragon do something amazing") or Druid of the Claws (choose human form or dragon from)
Did you win??

No, that's too weak, hunters will never play it. She needs to summon the whelps, but they turn into 1/1 beasts that have charge and give you a kill command whenever they attack.

Thinking about it, I feel like Undead Onixya would work like Baron Geddon in a way since her main ability is shooting lightning out of her sides at players, so I could see something that effects the board. They could make it interesting where she's a low cost / high stat creature that damages your own board. Something like Necronight.
The choice mechanic will most likely be one that remains with the Druid class only.
Today's Wednesday. Blizz reveal moar caaaaaaaaaaaards
Is the Undead Onyxia raid encounter well-known enough among players to actually have an ability based on what happens in the encounter?
I feel like this is a pretty good approximation of the Hunter Rare class card:
It's balanced because at three mana, a dragon in your hand is basically a wasted card anyway (no one runs the cheap dragons and the theoretical designer of this card didn't check to see if Blackrock Mountain is adding any cheap dragons).

I honestly don't think general knowledge matters though. People only care about interesting or good cards. It'd be cool to see a break down of how many people played WoW/Warcraft and are currently or played Heartstone.
And I believe the general response to Hunter cards here is, "Print it."

Site seems to be legit. That being said, I didn't use it myself because I play Hearthstone on iOS and this offer isn't valid on that platform (Pc only).

who came up with this? who is the man who said to himself "skill command just isn't good enough, hunters need something that does even more damage that works without actually playing any cards so they have their mana free to deal even more damage"
It could conceivably be balanced, if you considered it solely in a vaccuum.
I don't know, man, ask Blizzard and whoever at Blizzard designed that card.
It was YOU!

Dragon command, what a joke.
Just log into your battlenet account via browser and input the code. It doesn't matter what platform you're on.

I'm just expecting dragon to be more of a control archetype anyway. Mech turned out to be fairly aggressive tribe, just like murlocs, and dragons are generally big value creatures so I expect it to be control oriented.

No shit, right? Random minion pulls can screw you over big-time, though, as well
Worst case scenario for me was it pulled out spellbreaker or spider tank. 3 of my 5 cards in hand were above curve so I felt pretty confident. Tirion was obviously best case scenario so I was pretty pleased when he dropped.
Can't wait to take 21 damage in one turn with double Dragon Command and a Skill Command.Is the Undead Onyxia raid encounter well-known enough among players to actually have an ability based on what happens in the encounter?

That's what you get for letting a Hunter have at least one beast on the board and at least one dragon in hand. Easily preventable.
Math.
One mana for Arcane Shot breh.
Now we're talking. xD

I'm a n00b and need to quit playing Arena. I usually get 3-5 wins which means I'm probably wasting money. I feel like I won't get better at Arena unless I try though. :/
