A lot of neutral rares just really, really suck, so sometimes you have to pick the best of an awful bunch. If you have 2 activators for an Ancient Watcher it's probably a better pick than trash like Secretkeeper (non Secret class/deck), Angry Chicken, Alarm-o-bot, Coldlight Seer/Oracle, Lightwarden (non-healing classes/decks), Dragon Egg etc. Especially if your deck is on the slower side.
LMAO @ this video!

God Hearthstone is down for maintenance in the US, what are i'm suppossed to play now Blizzard? All of my dozens of PS4 games?
That's why I crafted Bane of Mal'Ganis.. oughta get a second one as well.
Just saw this about the free packs, you have to have created your account before this month.
This is what the free packs message looks like, you get it when you load Hearthstone.
And these are the packs I got:
Decent.

Got a Sea Giant for my EU account. I dusted my other two epics (they were bad, Far Sight and Hungry Crab), so on EU I have two legendaries and 1 epic. It's a nice test of my deckbuilding to try and make decks that can win enough to finish my dailies. I do have a really nice mech mage I was able to make really cheaply (a custom variant with no secrets, but 2x flamestrike and sylvanas/antonidas at the top end).
Bah, the 2 packs only helped out in dust for my EU F2P account =(
Still 1200 more gold to unlock 2 more wings of BRM and then back to ginding classic/gvg packs.
Wow, actually just realized it wasn't totally garbage. There was a frothing there that helps me complete the Pile On deck

6-0 start for warrior arena.
Serviceable deck, but lacking in late game.
0-3 Inc.

Midrange demonlock here I come?
For real. It makes it seem like it's really common when it is exceedingly rare.
On a related note, thought this Reddit post was interesting:

So to be nearly guaranteed at least 1 legendary, you need to buy over 100 packs.
Start new arena run = first game against Ragnaros and Sylvannas
I have two legends in my next arena deck too, Antonidas and Foe Reaper. There are many sub par cards in it as well though, and I suck with Mage now. I don't know how it happened, but it's true.

Ok guys need your help i can choose between Stalagg,Millhouse and Gazlowe in arena i have a tinkertown that can create a spare part and a blessing of wisdom im leaning towards Gazlowe here,Stalagg is just too fragile and Millhouse can backfire so hard.
It's a pretty easy Gazlowe because the stats on the Stalagg are bad and Millhouse can lose you the game.

I would go with stalagg. The stat distribution might not be great, but it does trade with a boulderfist ogre for less mana. Plus gazlowe is super weak for 6 mana. We're talking 9 stats iirc vs 11. If you have a bunch of 1 cost spells already, then sure maybe gazlowe. Plus in arena you aren't afraid of bgh so much.

Yeah thought just wanted to double check. Ye Millhouse was just a definite no, you only do that if you want to yolo.
True Mobius im really torn because both really are not that good imo. I do have argent protector and a blessing of kings, there might not be bgh but there are plenty of spells that deal 4 dmg for low cost.
I agree with Mobius, Stalagg is a Salty Dog which is pretty bad but not as awful as a 6cc 3/6 with an effect you can activate twice at best (Tinkertown is unreliable)and not that amazing to begin with. Picking Gaz isn't the end of the world but yeah, I'd take a Yeti over either any day of the week

i just drafted 2 blessing of might so i think i made the right decision with Gazlowe. Ill find out tomorrow i guess.
3/6 is better than a 7/4 even if it costs 1 more mana. 7/4 dies to Flamestrike, dies to Truesilver Champion, dies to 3/2 plus hero power. A 3/6 stays on the board and is able to pick off some smaller minions at least.
I mean of course a Yeti is better than both but with that draft I think Gazlowe is fine.

Just buy 14 packs twice and you've got over 100% chance for a legendary!

There is no better feeling than beating a wallet Warrior by taking them to fatigue.
Then you face the cheaper Grim Patron Warrior and get crushed. (I crushed a wallet warrior doing this).

The problems Priest can have dealing with weakling creatures since it was no ping can be hilarious. At six wins in Arena and I start off Z. Chow -> Coin -> Z. Chow. Priest drop a 2-drop. I use Backstab to kill his 2-drop but don't have one of my own to follow up with. I keep removing his minions until I can get my 4- and 5-drops into play. The two Chows lived till turn 9 when I won with Tinker's Oil - the Priest obviously had no SWs to remove them. If Priest doesn't get the board, or pull off a good board clear with Auchenai/Circle, Holy Nova, or Lightbomb (or Pyro I guess), it can lose so hard to the weakest minions.
Of course if Priest ever gets control the game is usually over thanks to the easy card advantage from the hero power.

The only deck I've ever played Gazlowe in is a variant of Mech Priest (with Gazlowe replacing Antonidas of the Mech Mage variant to make use of the spare parts). Needless to say, it is a much weaker version of the deck in terms of finishing off opponents. >_>
Gazlowe costing 6 with his stats is a joke.

The other thing is people will use a silence on stalagg before killing it 9 times out of 10.
Because people are stupid.

Millhouse is the definition of throwing a game away on turn 2.
