I guess the problem is when somebody does get those cards in the first pack and it is all over.
What would help is bans that can change over time. If they build a zoo deck, ban warlock after 6 hours and let them adjust.

I think 3 packs in 4 hours or something would have been better, no popularity packs and like 1 extra pack for the last place, instead of 3.
Like i said earlier start was fantastic but now its become stale, no different from what they do when they stream solo. Maybe they should have done something like at the end they have to battle each other with 3 crafted decks so they cant just rely on 1 deck and actually have to built 3.
Servers crapped out again, seriously Blizzard. Its bad enough that forums have become spammer heaven once again.
Rotating bans would be very interesting considering how you can clearly see everyone going on a dust rampage on all the banned classes(and most unbanned ones), there's no risk at all towards that.
I also personally would like to see more interplay between the players involved. They have that rule if they match up but it hasn't happened, and even if it does and they make you dust boom, would it really matter? They probably have enough to scrounge up another. It would be cool if maybe the current last place player could force a card that everyone else had to use in their deck for an hour every so often or something like that.
The disenchant rule seems poorly thought through. What if you instantly concede before showing your opponent any non-basic cards?

Ok, it's that time again. I need some help deciding on the next legendary to craft.
I have -
Dr. Boom, Ragnaros, Sylvanis, Jaraxxus, Grom, Antoinidas, Alex, Mogor, King Krush, Velen, Leeroy, Iron Juggernaut, all naxx, all brm
I want, ranked in order of wanting -
Mal'ganis - Seems super strong. Been itching to craft this guy because he'd be the last step to making a great demonlock deck for me.
Thalnos - Versatile, good in a lot of decks
Ysera - good enough to craft?
Harrison Jones - Museums?
Sneeds - Seems pretty good.
Baron Geddon - Always hoped I'd unpack this guy, is he still good?
Black Knight - Don't really see this guy run anymore, still good? I'd imagine with belchers running around prob not

Sneeds isn't good, just fun. The rest are pretty specific to a certain deck, so it is just up to what you want to play.
Sounds like Malganis is the go

...Welp guess I'm crafting two legendaries. I'll probably do Mal'ganis and Thalnos, or Mal'ganis and some epics.

I'll break this down into 1- higher priority, 2- meh priority 3- no priority:
1- thalnos, ysera, harrison, black knight
2- sneeds, baron geddon, malganis
I'll explain briefly. Tier 1 are good cards usable in multiple decks, tier 2 is good cards used in more niche decks, tier 3 is more for fun basically making very inconsistent decks that can sometimes seem OP.
edit: apparently I misread malygos/malganis. Malganis is of course pretty niche being a class legendary but deserving of being labelled good.
Dunno why you think sneeds is not good, it is pretty consistent in strength and results.
Nice. I haven't gotten a golden legendary in forever
Malygos?

He seems to be the first demon voidcaller ever summons against me =/
That said, people have moved more towards zoo and I don't think that deck runs malganis, although I know there are some demon/zoo hybrid decks being tested/ran.

What strength and results? Being included in control warrior, doing nothing and not being played any more?

It has been played in a number of decks, including handlock and druid as well. I've also seen it recently in tempo mage at high ranks.
On EU, yes. On NA, no.

It pops up, but it is still a #29 card. As in "I've got 28 cards in my deck, what else can I throw in there? Sneeds I suppose...that might be fun and do something".
But it never really does. People just tend to ignore it by the time it comes out.
That isn't to say it is a bad card, just not one you would craft.
Wonder what the difference between EU and NA servers are then?
Hopefully it is being visible in some kind of internal evaluation so they can fix it...
I've spent about £100 or so and played for a year, only found a single golden legendary.
All solo mode legendary and 10 crafted/found. Not sure if that's a good amount for the time/money.
Wish I hadn't dusted my golden Cenarius even if it did score me Boom. I have the standard version but he looks so plain now. ;_;
Mal'ganis is a must with Demonlock, the value you get out of it when it comes from a Voidcaller is insane. The next alternative would be another high mana demon like Jaraxxus or Infernal. Jaraxxus is good too because it's harder to remove using direct damage but then it's missing the pseudo-taunt of Malganis.
Same percentage.
The difference is, that we europeans are only second class citizens in the eyes of blizzard.
€: The server seems to work again.

The same. There are less GvG cards so repeats can be more common though

There is a reason he was banned from MTG. Cheater will always be a cheater.
ahahaha what an asshole, is he disqualified?
They told him he had to disenchant the extra cards and couldn't craft until the next time he opens packs, at which point he will get to open one less pack. They miscounted, he opened at least two packs too many, not counting the additional packs he opened before.
I'm also not sure if he disenchanted the extra cards.

I've finally gotten around to playing with hungry dragon myself. In rogue btw. I think it is a solid card. Rogue has a plethora of ways to deal with small minions. Even when, against a paladin whom got a webspinner that gave him a highmane (perhaps one of the worst outcomes you can imagine), I still managed to win. And you certainly can't judge the card based on fringe outcomes, otherwise pilotted shredder would be the worst card in the game.
I haven't played him in paladin yet, and that is really the only other class I would personally play him in. I don't really play zoo but he seems like he might work in there as a quasi-4 mana flame imp of sorts.

Man, loving dark iron skulker. Even hitting just 1 minion it just seems so good. Skulker into si7 agent for instance. Getting 7 attack on board and removing 4 hp minion, or 5 with dagger.
I'm also trying chrommagus in rogue but so far every opportunity I have had to play him I haven't need him unfortuneately. I mean, I could have played chrommagus, prep + fan of knives on turn 7 due to ET, and I really wanted to... but removing his minion via the DIS/SI7agent combo seemed better... plus kept my ET protected.
BUT, had I used chrommagus + prep + fan of knives just to cycle, I would have gotten 2 cards and reduced by 1 each. Imagine if I got eviscerate... mmm.
For the record, I am not even entirely sure why I have chrommagus in the deck, just figured it could be good and it could be fun lol.
This is infinitely more interesting than that tournament lol. I don't even know what that thing is really about.

This thing is like... what would happen if you kidnapped famous hearthstone streamers and forced them to play against each other, against their will, for 24 hours straight. Cause right now it looks like they are being held against their will and food is being dished out to them so they don't die from starvation.

Kungen v Forsen at rank 5!
RIP Antonidas.

Well, hello there Antonidas.
LMAO
Yea, it might've mattered more earlier on, but they get too many packs to make a difference now.

I think the DE rule is pretty cool. There is a pretty decent chance that they even match off against each other again as well.
