It's like they saw patron and were like "This is what people will want for that deck!"
Maybe if it's stats were a bit bigger, but its just a boulder fist with what is essentially a drawback. Art is cool as hell though.

I agree about the rarity for this unit. It's unfortunate as I was excited about Dragon Priest, but didn't have the dust to craft two Guardians, a Ysera, and maybe a Chillmal. Gotta sell packs, I guess.
> Priest
Experimenting with Holy Champion, Shadowboxer, and Blademaster. A real Holy Priest-type deck. Tournament Medic saved me against Token Paladin before Thoughtsteal burgled a Consecrate. Seems fun and has decent synergy, but probably isn't any good. If any other priests out there want to compare notes, let's do it!

i just got powershot, do u ever think it could be worth a slot in face hunter? i use two quickshots and i think two wolfriders and one arcane golem, can't see replacing any of that but i could see an argument made for it, curious what you guys think
i run two release the hounds and jugglers tho as well as an alpha so my evaluation deems it a dead card, idk if its worth dusting already tho might be a little presumptuous

Because this is beautiful
I have no doubt that a Mysterios Challenger deck can be great, in fact I fully expect it; I'm just critizing their version (which failed to win a single game).

Played about half a dozen brawl as paladin, drew at least one Tyrion every match. Favorite moment is slapping down 3 tyrions one after another in three turns and see the other guy slowly lose all hope.

That mysterious challenger deck probably just drew assbackwards the first use. The second time around it looked much better. And tbh, even with that assbackwards draw it wasn't that bad. The second match I think it lost only because the opponent paladin curved out and iirc it was pretty close in the end.

I literally just faced a Paladin with a deck like a Handlock and I don't know why.

I tried mech priest with clockwork gnomes + mechanical yeti for spare parts and PW:S.
Worked decent enough.

I think it is too inconsistent for most decks to run in constructed. For a grim patron type deck, you'd need your patrons to survive a turn already unless you're at 10 mana or used emperor thaurisan. That makes it too difficult to pull off consistently.
I decided to take that baby deck for babies above and refine it a bit. Gormechlock. Bonus win condition = Enhance-O-Windfury into Power Overwhelming. Closed a few out that way.
It's holding its own on ladder--I've lost one time in ten (at rank 14, so ymmv).
Apologies if this is old news. I took a break when GvG's Patron meta started and haven't been keeping on top of things again until TGT's release.
Any ideas for it?

I don't understand trying to play the twins in a Mech deck. The spare part buff isn't that consistent.
Just play those twins in any aggro/midrange deck that uses a few buffs. Treat the twins like a standard 3 drop (like Spider Tank). When the opponent sees them they will be forced to remove it because of threat of buff.
If you are going to play a Mechlock deck (which is what that is) then you should also be using Fel Cannon. That card is good in mech Warlock deck as an additive board control tool. Also play Knife Jugglers if you plan on using Implosions.
That deck however is outclassed the current Midrange Zoolock which runs Void Callers/Void Terrors with high powered demons like Doom Guards and Malganis. The rest of the deck is sticky as heck minions to maintain board presence.

Need to remove at least on Enhanco Mechano.

Guys, this priest opponent in Ranked just played two Vol'jins against me in separate turns. I can't figure out how he had two.
What are the different ways that might have happened? I was a warlock. He didn't steal it from me somehow...
Immediately after he played it, he didn't take any further actions, roped his next turn, then "your opponent left."

my last 4 arena opponents have had fucking dream decks from god on high, what the fuck is this shit?
I get a guy who literally drafts face hunter into a fuckwad who goes gilblin, lance, blessing of champions, argent protector plays a crusader and kings on the crusader, what the actual fuck
I can't even remember what the first guy was but it was basically another fucking constructed deck. how do i get so consistently matched against these fucking decks?

I've never gotten a decent pack like this one before now:
At least not in recent memory.

I love how Shaman becomes viable again and then the ladder is loaded with Priest. It's like a sick joke or something.

The buff that heals you for four looks like the winner for fjola. It even stacks so you get 8 heal plus the divine shields.
Not game breaking but it is a cheap combo that can go a long way in certain match ups.
Thank you! I removed a Yeti and an Enhance-O, added two Knife Jugglers, and am giving it a go.
I just won a match where a Mage Flamestruck my board, killed an Imp Gang Boss, spawned an Imp, and my Knife Juggler hit for perfect lethal with a 50/50 shot before the Imp died along with everyone else.
Okay, yeah. This is better.
Do you mean Velen's Chosen?
Reached legend with murloc knight paladin (741)
final version of the deck
I feel pretty good about all the picks at this point. The healbots 'feel' wrong but stat wise, this was the winningest version of the deck on the road to legend (77%). I think the healbots just let the game go long allowing me to grind out the game. Tuskar Jouster and Sludge Belcher were simply not reliable enough. Healbots just add a level of consistency that I can play to.
And all the rest of the cards feel core at this point. Eadric basically never disappointed. Gormok is outstanding. And Justicar is the most powerful legendary ever printed for paladin. Better than Boom. Better than Tirion.
I also feel certain about the cult master. Half the games where I played him I draw 3+ cards saccing creatures I was going to kill anyway. A very common occurance is my opponent plays Dr Boom and I sack my board into it and draw 4-5 cards.
With the deck complete I think its time to move on to warrior or shaman. Probably shaman.

Yup, ladder is nothing but Priest and Paladin.
Well Shaman, you had a good two days.

Thanks for the list. I've been loving Gormok in this deck so far but I wasn't sure about whether to fit in Eadric. I'll have to give this a try.
Yeah a lot of people dismissed Eadric, but the fact he neutralized a whole board and can even get value on 1 target is cool.
And he isn't a bad answer to Dr. Boom, Highmane, or any other big targets that don't have triggered effects.
Then he starts playing Warlock and starts running into people playing the aggro warrior he just played. lol

Ball of Spiders is my new favorite arena card.
Is Justicar the most "must craft" legendary in TGT? Just to know if I had to make him my next target
Is funny, I vowed to save dust to make it my only legendary to craft for the set, but then, I met dragon priest, I saw a version were you needed Chillmaw and Eydis Darkbane, so I crafted them, then I made 2 garrison commander, a mysterious challenger, and I can' recall which other card

Finally opened my fifty packs. Got only one legendary Varyian Wrynn. *Sigh* Anyone worse off?
Got enough dust to craft a legendary which one is the must have?

I just got my first 12 win arena run! (This is after getting mostly 2-3 wins per draft. Up until today I believe my highest was 4.) I want to thank the weird TGT meta, and Dr. Boom. The only two games I lost were games that I never drew him.
I also wanna thank Gutshot for the 40% off promo! Hopefully these classic packs are better then the nothing I got from the TGT pre-order.

I think he is far from required or "must craft". In terms of fun, versatile in terms of deck building, yeah he is probably great for that since he impacts every class very differently.
Maybe he will prove himself to be key in certain decks, I dunno about that. But I don't think he is a must craft for playing competitively.
