The new flavor text is great:

Validated Doomsayer (New) Really feels good about himself and is in a much better place now. But… he sure does miss piloting those shredders.

I see cards weren't the only thing they nerfed, apparently the "Sorry" emote is gone? But how can I be sarcastic to opponents now?!
 
Top 6 decks in the current post nerf, pre Standard meta:

Secret Paladin aka the King
Zoolock
Freeze Mage
Grim Patron
Control Warrior
Aggro Shaman


Every other non Hunter deck no one cares about.

Rogue and Druid bottom tier. Probably the worst these two classes have ever been in the game.

Zoo is really good in this meta. Went on a 5-0 streak with the current Tempo Storm list.

I hope it survives in some form. It's the aggro deck I enjoy playing the most.
 
Zoo is definitely the deck to play through today if you want to rank up. I'd be playing it myself but I never had Sea Giants (one of the few classic cards I don't have) or Gormok. No point in crafting them now either (even though both will be in standard) when everything is going to be shaken up some more.

Right now I was just dicking around with concede mage to finish some quests. At ~1600 gold, so I'll have a fair few packs besides the quest ones tomorrow.

Yeah, doing challenges has kept me in a constant cycle of win/loss, but when I play my dirty Zoo Lock deck I win win win. Gonna spend tonight ranking up as far as I can before the changes come tomorrow.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
welp, let the last secret paladin grind to rank 5 begin

Yeah the flavor text game was stepped up big time.

Deathwing, Dragonlord - To his credit, Deathwing really took to heart the feedback he was receiving that he needed to be "more of a team player".

N'zoth - Has not been able to get "Under the Sea" out of his head for like FIVE THOUSAND YEARS.

Zerus - It's like being able to play with THREE angry chickens!

DOOM! - We ran out of space for "DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!"

Faceless Shambler -"What is that thing?!" "I'm not sure, but it seems to be sort of Ysera shaped."

Forbidden Ancient - This Ancient was banned from the local tavern after tucking a 'Dr. Boom' up its sleeve.

Scaled Nightmare - I like it because it scales.

Thistle Tea - Aren't Thistles prickly? Why would you drink them? I don't get Rogues.

Cult Sorcerer - No matter how many times we tell her not to, she keeps feeding C'Thun scraps under the table.

Master of Evolution - Will be really useful in the new "Hearthémon" game.

A Light in the Darkness - Wait, how can you have a light in the dark? If you turn on a light while it’s dark, doesn’t that mean it’s no longer dark?

Am'gam Rager - peerc rewop

Carrion Grub - Carry on my wayward grub.

Hooded Acolyte - Wait, what kind of acolyte doesn't wear a hood?

Tentacle of N'Zoth - Because EVERYDAY is the Day of the Tentacle of N'zoth.

I also like how Ragnaros, Lightlord says "LIVE, INSECT!"

And N'zoth's lines are just re-used Y'shaarj lines since he has never talked in WoW. Yogg-Saron's voice is also different. Quit screwin' up all the awesome Ulduar bosses like Flame Leviathan's lines with these weak ass voices!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Lightlord still pisses me off for various reasons, the major one being that it's so wrong from a lore perspective.

Blizz has already said Hearthstone is a what if thing, and Old Gods more so.

Remember that Garrosh (ex-warchief) has exclusive use of Varian (Alliance leader) and Anduin (son of Varian) has exclusive use of Vol'jin (current warchief)

If you think of Hearthstone as a game within World of Warcraft, the card makes sense. It's a magic card game based on the worlds most influential people. It's like interactive baseball cards for them. The new expansion is like the Big Chew version of those cards. Almost all of the cards are made up and twisted versions of other characters.

Hogger isn't corrupted, tentacles aren't popping out of everyone, and Rag isn't the Light Lord.

Now I know not all of you standard lovers who think you'll never venture into wild who have disenchanted all your cards will regret it but...
I still feel sorry for a couple of you when the standard meta is not as fun or as fair you hope it will be.

If it isn't, then I'll just quit playing

Hey I just had a thought... Given that the new set is going to come with quests that earn free card packs, and given that quests reset at midnight... What are the odds that the new set of going to go live at midnight?

The most consistent rule of Hearthstone is that whatever deck the other person beat me with is bullshit.

I'm confident that'll extend to both wild and standard.

None really, that has never happened to any expansion before right? The last few expansions have always been live pst morning I think. Beside maintenance is scheduled for tomorrow morning anyway

Did you have to send them a copy of your photo id?? I need old murk eye as well and already have all the cards
What topic did you select while contacting support to get chat?

Sorry for the late reply. You don't need a picture, they check your account for you. I followed a link from the forums that had zeriyah or whatever posted that had no topic selected, but I heard picking Feedback works. I just sent them a support ticket and about 4 hours later they got back to me and said they'd credited me with 1600 dust, there was no hassle.

Well, that was the quickest rank 5 "grind" to date... holy fucking shit. The win streak gets insane when it just keeps rolling and rolling.
