Or everyone saying "remove BGH, wah" lol
Well that's good to hear. I was pretty ticked about it.
Also got 95 repeats. I dusted them all and was able to pick up a few legendaries. Fandral Staghelm is pretty fucking sick.

Yeah, me too. Opened the free packs and messed with the UI but it's a little too late for me, i'm going to leave playing some games until tomorrow morning.
I'm running 2 sprints, 1 loot hoarder, 1 azure drake, 1 fan of knives in mine. Also use Sir finley to get either warrior/lock power. Gone with warrior both times i've used him, helps stall.

Yeah I'm using Druid and I have azure drakes, wrath, wild growth and nourish but i'm running out of steam. How is Rogue compared to Druid
Every c'thun deck i face runs out as well, seems we trade card draw for board control and a powerful core. I've won 4 games in a row but that doesnt mean much when everyone is doing whatever
are you sure you just not terribly unlucky

I have two beckoners of evil and havent drawn either even once in 4 games so maybe
Shadowstep has been great in it so far. I have blade of c'thun who has been doing work, and don't mind shadowstepping him either. Haven't tried druid yet though.
Edit: guess I shouldn't have logged out to let out the dogs and grab food, sprites keeping me from launching now lol

Xaril also works out well. As it happens those spells are great for combos when nobody else has spare parts.
Really though you just need to stall.
Blade + shadowstep into brann + blade is super powerful.

Aggro Shaman, Midrange Shaman, and C'thun Druid bounces back and forth between looking unbeatable and looking pathetic so drastically. I can't tell if it's variance in draws or variance in deck building or what.
That's mostly the only decks I've seen today after a ton of playing. One divine shield paladin did beat me.

Fuck these shitty servers.
You'd think Blizzard would actually plan ahead for this.

Opened 53 packs
one legendary
my luck knows no bounds
On the bright side I'm close to triggering the pity legendary.
It was Rag though. I have a really hard time pulling legendaries but at least they've all been pretty good(Antonidas, Justicar, arguably Krush).

lol yogg is too funny. Playing a Shaman, he played Yogg as a last ditch come back, the first spell was deal 5 damage to an enemy minion, which hit my sylvanis which stole his yogg and then the rest of the spells were cast by me. Tried to click my shadowcaster on the Yogg but he conceded before I even moved my mouse.
After 5 hours of play, initial impressions of the expansion:
*Shaman dominating all across the board. Both in aggro playstyle and midrange playstyle.
*Evolve deck is all sorts of BS and no one has even bothered to refine it. Reminds me of Secret Paladin when it first came out. It's very easy to get value off of Evolve and there a lot of cheap, high stat minions that Shaman can play to get a massive board.
*A lot of pros are going to eat cross on that Shaman weapon but not only is it not bad... it's actually damage good especially in the Evolve deck.
*Faceless whatever his face makes me glad Blizzard didn't nerf BGH's text because that card unanswered is GG. BGH is the one thing controlling it at the moment.
*A lot of people online are playing Cthun decks with mixed results. However, you should be aware of this Cthun meta: Don't play 2 HP minions if you don't have to, everyone is playing Disciple of Cthun and it snipes your stuff. Have something to deal with the 3/4 because that is surprisingly hard to take care of and don't worry about burning a bunch of cards to kill the Twin Emperors because that's usually their win condition.
*Call of the Wild is ridiculous, 'nuff said.
*Probably a good idea to have a Black Knight in your deck just to stomp on the Cthun Druids.
*Infested Wolf is the linchpin of every single non face Hunter deck. Card is a staple.
*A lot of random ping stuff all over that is piling up on the RNG with Flame Juggler being the biggest culprit.
*Any Cthun deck not having cards that get buffed due to Cthun aren't good. Those cards are what make these decks playable. Druid and Priest seem like forerunners, a lot of people are trying Cthun Warrior but it's not impressive. God Curve Cthun Druid is unstoppable.
*A ton of weird bugs in the game.
*There might be something to this Divine Shield Paladin deck. I played it a couple of times and it felt pretty strong though I feel like Warrior can counter it easily with a bunch of 1 damage AOEs.
*Shaman dominating all across the board. Both in aggro playstyle and midrange playstyle.

This is my current deck -
Thinking about Loot Hoarders instead of Darnassus Aspirant and a Crazed Worshipper over the Combatant.
I keep tweaking it but it works so far. Easy wins.

C'Thun decks pretty much shit all over control decks that aren't Warrior.
Yoshichan
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?
Crafted golden Twin Emperor Vek'lor.
My packs, thanks Smooth_Operator ala Gegz from tuning in and HYPING UP DEM CARDS!
Fandral Staghelm
Princess Huhuran
Hallazeal
Cho'gall x2
Shifter Zerus
Mukla
Soggoth
Y'shaarj
and C'thun (obviously)
Good shit! No duplicate except Cho'gall and overall mid/high-tier legendaries, happy about it!

What have you been running? I've been playing with the recipe--minus the Twins. I feel like Disciple and Injured compete for the 3 slot and that I'm having more trouble with aggro so swapping BM or the 3/6 4-drop for ASP or Wild Pyros. Pyro / Northshire shenanigans could help us reach C'thun more quickly as well.
No Lightbomb sucks.

Opened 23 packs so far, keeping the rest (30) for tomorrow. 1 legendary - Hogger, Doom of Elwynn.
Got 5 golden cards, though... Evolved Kobold, Ravaging Ghoul, Squirming Tentacle, Feral Rage, Twilight Elder. Also got some of those Shaman cards that people have been talking about, so I guess I'm finally playing a Shammy deck sometime.

Was really fun bro', anytime !
I'm trying to build a rogue deck for my daily quest, that's harsh, i almost never played Rogue :x
Here is my list:
C'thun Druid
It has been working quite well. I haven't opened/cracked Twin Emps yet, but have still been doing well without him.

Twin Emps seriously pisses me off because there's no way Blizzard didn't look at it and know it was completely broken yet they let it go anyway to appeal to their C'Thun bullshit.
Gentle Rodriguez

I wonder what Blizz plans to do if Shaman completely dominates the meta so hard that a lot of people complain and give up on ranked. I'm guessing they do nothing for a year again, which is fine by me I'll just play Arena instead I guess.

Going to craft s c'thun deck later. Might need to craft twin emperor
So I opened 5 basic packs and I got Cho in the first one, then I opened 35 WTOG packs and got 0 legendaries.
Fucking lame. I don't even want to use my ~9k dust to craft anything. Even when I'm not playing this game makes me salty as fuck. It happened with TGT too. I preordered the packs and bought a bunch more. Got more legendaries from the classic packs I opened even though, again, they were way less.

Uggggghhhhhh first sight of Yogg and it saves a mage at 5 health by utterly clearing my board of 2 totems, a 3/3 windfury, a 5/5 taunt, and two 2/3 feral spirit wolves while leaving him with a 10/7 buffed Yogg.
Sure 9 times out of 10 that won't win him the game like that but holy crap. 0/1 in shit Yogg RNG deciding games RNG has no business deciding for me.
