You don't play in windowed mode?

I always play in windowed mode, it's still frustrating when people take an unreasonable amount of time.
They might likewise be playing in windowed mode and forget to end their turn because they're doing something else at the same time. Happens to the best of us.

Yeah, I get that it happens every now and then. I still think that anyone who lets it happen when playing with me literally deserves to die. Blizzard, give me speed Hearthstone!
auctioneer? is like 5 mana? I dont get it.
Trying to come up with a top 10 list for this set is proving just as hard as I predicted. C'Thun's popularity in particularly is causing some problems.
Intentionally roping is a crime, agreed. I was playing some Football Manager on a second screen last night just to pass time in between turns. In two weeks I'll be moving on to Stellaris, which can be played the same way.

he took names of two different cards and put them together lol
It's not garbage tier, people are being harsh on it.
Though not as good as it should be.
You're obviously playing a lot of cards that would benefit from getting copied so you don't get those "generic" tokens. Either they have a deathrattle or a passive effect. At least in theory. Priest will have some trouble maintaining board control so I'd be surprised to see more than 2 minions on board at any given time.

Re: priest legend
Copying that thoughtsteal 4/3 would be good in control match ups. I'm having a hard time seeing what to copy that would be good against aggro though, in the toolset that is used or might be used in priest. Seems like at best you're getting a 1/1 taunt.
And I think copying higher cost minions like sylvanas seems a bit too rare to be worth much in the long run.
I wouldn't discount the card entirely, but it seems fairly unplayable.

I thought that the reveal of rogue's Shadowcaster removed all doubts that priest legendary isn't good.

Thanks guys, I got one more question though. Ben Brode said we get two quests for 5 free wog packs on the live stream right.
So do we get the two quests for 5 packs each + the three packs for logging in during the wog launch?
Yes, a total of 13 packs + C'Thun and 2 x Beckoner of Evil

not sure how the quests work if it's part of the regular queue. Like if you have 3 quests already and 3 backlogged, do the new pop up. But yes the two 5 pack quests are win 2 games in standard and win 5 games in standard. Not sure if they count simultaneously or you have to win 7 games in total. 3 is from just logging into the game during launch
You get the 5 win quest after completing the 2 win quest. They show up as normal quests: "You don't need a free slot, we will delete your lowest progress quest to make space for these new legendary quests."

This thread has a lot of dumb posts but this one takes the cake.

They're two very different cards let alone in different classes.
I'm online, but playing casual in case that doesn't work for these quests ...
Hope we get more of these or top 10s in the next couple of days (after PAX). Always interesting to compare predictions.
The same reason there is no monk class.

If you want help building a deck, you can always ask for it instead of being angry.

The same reason why it takes them months to draw a picture with wavy lines for a new avatar.
Nah, that's because monks are bad.

Probably a modified form form of my hybrid hunter deck to get those 10 extra packs ASAP.
Going to be playing the "hope i don't get disconnected" deck

Pretty much this, gonna modify my existing decks just so I can get those packs. At least until I can get more packs so I can actually make a decent deck.
EU server going down for maintenance (and patching I presume) just after midnight on Thursday. Could be a simultaneous release after all with the US release being scheduled for a Wednesday release. Timezones and all.
EU servers: https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/breaking/17609270
Nothing about US time yet: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/breaking/20039305

Isn't the release date Tuesday, the 26th?
How does that do against aggro shammy? Pretty sure most people will play that trying to get packs asap. What are other counters? Seems like zoo will need too many replacements to play off the bat.
Weekly maintenance is usually at a later time.
Yeah my bad. Meant Tuesday and Wednesday in Euroland.

Why would you want classes to have similar cards? Every class has their own strengths and weaknesses, mage's strength is their high damage spells.
because, in constructed it's barely played, but when it comes to brawls like this one today when you can discover things, it's crazy. Put aside the fact that mages get a distinct advantage in these dicover spell bralws as they can keep popping polymorphs and flamestrikes, they also find shit like a 10 mana 10 damage spell. So working with a limited toolset in some classes (mostly warrior), they only need to get you to 10 and have a pyroblast, which is very very easy. Other classes should get the same benefit in that sense
