Thanks guys.
Didn't know it was 7000 total......
Fucking biblethump
Guess I'm gonna buy some card packs.
Oh alright, this helps knowing a small breakdown of the cards I'll get from each adventure. Might have to backpedal on what I said.....I dunno.
Will definitely consider this though, thanks.
Opponent coins Shredder, ignores your 4-drop and goes face, plays turn 4 Shredder, you play this
"Huh, my thanks"
"Well fought, I concede"
If you're not seeing Rexxar's stupid face before your eyes right now what is wrong with you?
If you spend money on anything buy the adventures. Way more value than you'd likely ever get from spending 25 bones on packs.
My pack from arena yesterday had one Force Tank MAX. Today, I got TWO FTM in one pack!..... Tomorrow, I'm prepared for three FTM in the pack, I can't possibly be disappointed.
I hear Magic Origins reward system is way more fair and you can get everything reasonably fast with spending some. Seeing duplicate after duplicate really pushes me away from the game rather than wanting to invest even more time into it.
Really, with that TGT preorder, you're not getting much at all.

I think I got like 12 cogmasters and 12 clockwork gnomes.

They should have had like a 30 dollar prepurchase. I might have bitten at that preorder pricing. Well, maybe I'll do it anyway, but probably not since I skipped pre-ordering BRM and ended up earning each wing over time. I didn't spend any money on gvg packs so it has been since closed beta since I actually spent money, which I think is great.

Just got my first ever 12-win Arena run with the Priest class, one of my worst (making it my 4th class to reach 12 with after Rogue, Mage, and Paladin). Got 490 gold and a pack; pretty happy.
As for the deck, I deliberately drafted heavily for the early game since I've had so many bad experiences in the past with Priest where I couldn't get on the board. I got a host of good 2-drops, a PW:S, a Zombie Chow, an Argent Squire, and a Cogmaster (with several mechs, including Harvest Golem and Piloted Shredder). And 3 Velen's Chosens to take that early game presence and run with it. I also had Chromaggus, who helped me win the games that were close and long, along with a Boulderfist Ogre, a Spectral Knight, and a Temple Enforcer. For removals I had 2 SW
s, 2 Holy Smites (both of which I kept 100% of the time during mulligans), 1 SW and 1 Holy Nova, and Wild Pyro. The deck wasn't quite perfect - I had some average 3-drops and a dearth of mid game drops beyond the Shredder and the Knight, so I often fell behind on cards while leading on the board.
The two losses came to an aggro Warlock where I drew horribly and lost to a Mountain Giant and a Sea Giant right as I was taking back the board (couple of small misplays may have cost me this game), and a Hunter where I d/cd (this was game 4 of the run, and I would've almost certainly won if I didn't dc). Oddly I only faced two Mages during the run, on games 8 and 9 (mostly Paladins, two Hunters and a Warlock).

Shredder might be the best neutral 4-drop in the game, but something has to be. The card doesn't neatly slide into every single deck so I don't think it's really a huge problem. Compared to Mad Scientist and Dr. Boom it's fair.

12 win a Warlock. Kinda surprised actually. I didn't like the deck at all when I drafted it. I don't think there's anything special about it at all.
True, it's probably not as bad as Dr. Boom or Mad Scientist, but it's just a step below in my opinion.
I can't even see how another 4-drop surpasses Shredder in its current state. They need to either make it have 3 attack, or give better tools to players for dealing with deathrattle minions. Right now it just trades way too favorably with so many things.
11 mana
I pulled this bullshit in arena the other day, except it was a trade prince gallywix. The opponent instantly ffed lol
Started a new arena run, finally I could pick mage yay... all the cards were terrible :\ still managed to get two flamestrikes, so it wasn't too bad but everything else is like average at best.
First game, druid plays Mogor the Ogre, really?!! it totally messes up the game. Then later he plays Harrison Jones, sure it didn't do anything against me, but two legendary that I didn't have. I didn't even get a single epic.
I still won with mirror entity finally but I'm afraid to play more now, looks like it's legendary day except for me.

First time I play ladder since the start of the month because I kept getting 40G quests and I see that everything is aggro decks. Good thing I got Paladin and Priest for the daily!
Anyone suggests me some good cheap decks to defend against that plague or I just wait for the Tavern Brawl?

Annoy-o-Tron? The name is really appropiate in this case... and always.
Reading all these arena stories doesn't make me want to continue my current run. It's going to sit at 2-0 forever at this rate.
I wouldn't stress about it too much. 2-0 is already decent enough and there are always more arena runs.
Yeah I'm trying not to play any as well. I think it is possible they release the cards early to arena like they did with GvG. If so that is a good way to get people to waste all their gold on arena before the expansion comes out.
Don't be fooled ^.^

This seems to be legit from what I can tell.
Translation: Rage Strike - Deal 3 damage. Gain 3 armor.

wow that's pretty damn good. If you keep your armor you can Shield Bash for another 3 damage.
That art is awesome lmao

It is called Bash in the English version according to zeriyah.

Looks good. In Arena, great. Dunno if people would swap it for Shield Block though.

It's drain life like spell but 1 extra damage and armor which is better than health so much better than drain life which is 3 mana, 2 damage and 2 hp healed.

Warrior card seems fine, just don't see a place for it
Are you kidding? This is great in control warrior. The only question is what you would cut for it, but it's definitely useable. Being able to take out a 3 health creature without needing to hit it with your face is awesome. Vs the so many common 4/3s this is essentially gaining you 7 health vs using a weapon. Definitely a playable card. If going 1 for 1 wasn't good enough they wouldn't run execute or shield slam. Come on son.
3 mana is fine. Hero power shield slam is super common vs aggro, this is even better than that.
Yep, The biggest upside is it takes up 2 (shield slam and shield bash) cards for one the problem is losing shield slam for big minions and it is 3 mana making it a very awkward play more often than not.

All true, but what are you dropping for it? It is good, but it needs to be better than what is actually in the deck.
No way are you taking out shield block, the card is way more important. No way you drop war axe... So???
It isn't a control warrior card. Maybe some mid rangey warrior which means it still has potential... Somewhere.
We'll decide that once everything is out. Control warrior is definitely going to stay a meta deck, and there's likely to be more hard decisions to come once we see all the new cards.
It goes 1-1 for a creature with 3 health or less, it isn't 1-1 for even a Shredder. Execute or Shield Slam works on minions with up to 10 mana value. You're completely ridiculous if you think this is even any good in control warrior. You already have weapons to handle low mana minions.
I really like this idea.
By that logic nobody would run shadow bomb, wrath, frost bolt, or quickshot. Every class that has a 3 damage spell runs it because they're good. Yes, this one is 1 mana more expensive, but warrior is a slow deck, and can afford be 1 mana slower in exchange for the 3 armor. Nothing warrior runs lets you 1 for 1 a shredder anyway, but this at least lets you take it out in 1 turn easier.

Since last page talked about piloted shredder i thought i would share an interesting article on reddit on how to nerf that card without making it unplayable. I think the most reasonable idea is to make it a 4/2, that way it will most likely trade only once.
Anyway that new warrior card seems okay but i don't see any control warrior running it, hopefully it combos well with the unreleased cards, who knows maybe we will get some type of warrior tempo with the new cards that fights for board a lot more, that would be cool.
