Certainly. Everywhere between 20 and 13.

I think you'll see that the higher you rank up, the less variety there is. This is almost always the case because you face better players with better decks and you need to run stronger decks yourself to win more than you lose.
Dr. boom and emperor are still in most decks at higher rank.
I haven't seen emperor a ton either actually, but I am mostly seeing aggro decks. When I started today I queued into hunter 5 games in a row.
These adventures are all pretty much mandatory for anybody playing the game. Nobody wants to skip out on cards.
haha what types??
Golden crafting costs run on their own scale. They just go x2 for each step up on rarity, starting at 400 dust.
Common: 400
Rare: 800
Epic: 1600
Legendary: 3200
Divide by 8 to get the disenchantment refund amount...I think.
Nope, still 4. Just like for ordinary cards.
Not true though. It cost me 400 dust to craft my golden webspinner. I can disenchant it for the grand sum of 50 dust.
That's 400/8.
Golden legendaries turn into 1600 dust and cost 3200 to craft. Normal legendaries cost 1600 to craft, but they turn into 400 dust. You're right about every other rarity, though.
Edit: Apparently it's even more complicated.
Speaking of gold cards, I got greedy after yesterday (when I crafted 5 legendaries) and dusted all my gold rares that didn't fit into my current decks, and earned 1800 dust which I used to craft Edwin. I'm now missing, from the classic set, Lorewalker Cho, Milhouse, Pagle, Mukla, Tinkmaster, Greenskin, Illidan, The Beast, and Gruul, and from GVG I'm missing Bolvar, Flame Leviathan, and Blingtron. I'm also missing 2 epics, one from each set. (Shadowbomber and Sword of Justice). I'm done buying packs until a new set comes out, so I probably won't finish either collection anytime soon. I don't have either promo legendary but they are both terrible and the promo set isn't one I'm interesting in completing.
This reminded me...I don't think I've ever seen Shadowbomber played. I have no idea what the card even sounds like.
Noxious was playing a face Priest deck with them earlier on stream. They're weird, but they were pretty crucial to the point of the deck. The animation is it throwing tiny Darkbombs on both players.
No, I believe golden disenchants are:
Common - 50
Rare - 100
Epic - 400
Legendary - 1600
Huh, that's interesting. I think it was Day9 I was watching who tried to do a shadowform priest but I don't believe he ran any shadowbombers. I think it's one of the most interesting cards in the game and would love to see it be more viable one day, but I'm not too hopeful about it.

Murloc Paladin failed me. :l Fell back to Rank 3.
The guys who play Golden Mech Mage in Casual. :l

6 damage to both players for 2 mana is a great deal if you've got more health than your opponent, which is pretty easy to make sure you do as an aggressive Priest. Especially with Holy Fire. I've never thought of it, but Mind Blast is also a better Kill Command that can only go face.
I think the aggro opportunities in Priest are pretty obvious, and then you fill out the rest of the deck with Wolfriders, Arcane Golems and their friends from current aggro decks. The problem is how you find card draw, which Noxious insisted had to be done with Northshire Clerics and Power Word: Shield. I don't think Clerics are good enough, but I also don't know of a good enough replacement. Jeeves just gets killed.
I got it on the Mage class challenge in BRM. I saved it for lethal, because why not? It's definitely not worth crafting, as I really dislike playing as Priest AND even if I did no non-gimmick Priest decks run it.
The Paladin epic I'm missing is a bit better, and good in aggro or token Paladin, but I'm not much into that playstyle so it's not a high priority craft. I figure I'll get it in a pack someday.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
At least 50% of my opponents were face hunter today. Unreal.

Kel'thuzad on turn 7 with emperor thaurissan already on board.
I was winning, but against a control mage, I still needed to win more!

Were the rest Demonlock and Warrior?

I'm not at a super high rank, but it was Mech Mage or Lock.

Here's my druid ramp/combo deck. Loatheb is of iffy value, I think. Any other suggestions are welcome. I was facing a lot of Paly's and Warriors so I included Harrison. Of course as soon as I did it was all druids, mages, and priests :\
My main problem is regaining board control back from just about anyone after rounds 1-4 when I'm trying to use Wild Growth, etc to ramp to my higher-tier cards. Mech mages are a MAJOR pain in the ass for this deck. I can actually manage face hunters decently as long as I get my belcher early.
edit: not sure why it's so huge.
edit 2: I'm @ rank 15. Made it to around rank 10 with this deck last season but ran out of time.

sorry for the dp, but the fact that kel'thuzad brings back Force of Nature at the end of my turn is frickin awesome.

Ah. There were Reddit posts about Handlock and Warrior. Front page of Reddit is usually a good indicator of the days meta.

I thought it always dies after the KT animation since it was played after KT.
Weird, maybe even a bug.
I think I said it a couple times
The trick is to not play around FON combo and instead use Face Hunter to finish game before Emperor gets dropped....
And now you know why the meta is the way it is currently.

I've complained my share about the new druid combo-ability. But if you think about it, if a druid has combo in hand before ET, then they've probably had a weak early game. If they don't have it, then they don't get that super combo. You mainly need to play for board, loatheb + taunt up on that turn he intends to win, and hopefully push enough damage to win.
Or my method, taunt and heal up til KT or dr. boom or tirion. Seems to be working.

Running a Freeze Mage list with Thaurissian and Malygos in it.
Thinking about Dragon's Breath as the Doomsayer + Nova lets you set up insane turns with Malygos that got Thaurissian. It's not too unlikely to get Malygos + Frost Bolt + Ice Lance hit with the Emperor, so you could Malygos + Frost Bolt + Ice Lance + Dragon's Breath for 27.

Disgusting.
I've run into multpiple warriors who think flooding the board and rushing down a handlock is a good idea. Say hello to all my AoE spells and free minions bitch. Oh, you forgot to clear my board? There goes yours. Oh, 2 health minion? Thanks mage I'll take a infernal out of it. Oh, mage flood the board again me with 5 health minions? Here have a board clear vs jarraxus, free infernal anyway. Oh, mr warrior who was unfortunate enough to face me with my face hunter deck? Oh I'm sorry that you have every single thing in your hand that should stop a face hunter, but I'll still win if I go face long enough.
Ps the face hunter win was finishing a quest. However it is disgusting that I went through an extra, 30+ health and still killed the warrior by turn 10

I feel sorry for this one rogue, he was a fatigue rogue, and he keep giving me cards as a shaman. I just kept emptying my hand. He killed a wind runner, but then I put Rez on my sludge belcher and then got KT out. He raged, oh did I mention I used reincarnate on his 2/8 taunt giving me a sun walker and Fire elemental? Did that on turn 4? Lol. Heheh
"THANKS"

For some decks you don't need bgh. But you'll probably want to craft one cause a lot of decks do need bgh. Thank dr. boom.
Plus, I wouldn't worry about losing to deathwing every once in a while. I've been playing since closed beta and I have lost to deathwing maybe once or twice. I've overcome deathwing more than that, but you really just never ever see it.
I was trying to draw for Equality since I had Consecrate, but I never top decked it.
