That makes sense.
On the note of poorly designed cards: thank you to whoever in this thread brought up Herald Volazj. I forgot that he was my only legendary in 50 WotOG packs, and I kept him on the off-chance that someone discovers an amazing use for him.
DE'd.

I decided to play some Wild, and it's pretty chill. I'm happy to see Piloted Shredder back over 50% Shaman matches after a Shaman killed me twice in a row on 5 turn tonight.
Why did they have to make everything about Wild so UGLY, though? Even your Wild pages are this horrible shit-brown color.
That's wise. I still only buy Classic packs.

Man I did tell you not to pre-order lol.
I think we should be coming up on the next adventure/expansion though in a few months. Probably an Adventure mode. Blizzard at least tries to make impactful, deck defining cards with adventures because they need to make some impact with fewer cards.

I didn't listen.
Never again!
Oh yeah, my Solforge account is up to like a 500 card collection already - that Legendary-only draft is really efficient and fun.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
It's weird that they come out with cards so infrequently
Technically they "make" almost one card a day but they only release in big bulks 3 times a year.

Yeah I'm saving up for the next adventure. Haven't been buying packs at all and I'm back up to 1900 gold. Think I'll take it up to 2800 then start buying packs again.
We should get more cards in like 40-50 days, early August probably. Adventures are far more exciting too and they don't have long marketing drag.
wishlist:
- some cards for rogue that make flurry nerf sensible. I want to see a board clear spell, they have to add something and a taunt.
- control warlock cards, it was one of the most beautiful and fun decks in the game, even playing against it was so much fun and interesting unlike cw or priest or paladin. it was a proactive control deck, now with no good heals and no molten, it's pretty much dead. I miss it a lot. They said they don't want same decks to be in the meta forever but that turned out to be hypocritical at best.
- shaman needs to get awful awful totems, like totems with a down side something like that.
- a 2 drop for paladin.

Handlock was fun to play against?
Secrets is the name of the game, give MC some glorious remaining months in rotation.
Shaman could use some top end.

typical poor life decisions
guys... do you think you could help me?
I have a problem, since the release of WotOG I was playing only with basic cards, I managed to accumulate 24 packs between WotOG and Classic packs up until today, I bought the 2 adventure expansions and now I opened all packs, but since then I have no idea what to do with all these cards, do you think you could help me build a deck or two from these?
I tried to find some recipes to at least learn a basic deck I could build, but so far they need a lot of dust to craft rares/epics/legends and I only have 180 dust. The Budget decks included also about 600 dust or something like that.
I made a list of the things I got (besides all the adventure cards), do you think you could help me somehow?
EDIT: they are indexed by mana cost, I listed them in the order they appear on the game

My wishlist.
*Good on curve 2 drop for Priest.
*Handlock/Renolock support cards. Please no more god damn aggressive/flood cards for Warlock.
*Good neutral heals and taunts.
*Good removal and/or AOE for Druid.
*Actual card draw for Hunter.
*Beefy weapon or weapon buff for Rogue.
*A 3 drop dragon for Mages, Dragon Mage has been kinda neglected as of late. Though Mages don't actually "need" much of anything at the moment.
Nothing significant for Warrior because they have everything at the moment, maybe a mid sized board clear that's somewhere between WW and Brawl.
Nothing for Shaman either unless it promotes a control archetype. Please no more curve god cards for them.

just take a break. no point in forcing yourself to play a game you're starting to hate. I know I cut back on League of Legends massively myself

They're kind of lazy/cheap in general.
Blow up your board twice!
I will start saving up, too.
2-drops for everyone!
You have a weird obsession with me.
I liked how the game was shaping up pre-WotOG. I think the only thing I really hated back then was combo Druids.
Maybe I will. I'm playing Wild right now and feeling a little better. I'm not saying Wild has a better meta, but the meta feels less...swingy for some reason. I wish I could articulate my thoughts on why it feels different.
Sheng has decks that are basic only that give you a base to build from. Time to start grinding.

I know everyone hates Shaman these days but what I'd like to see for them throughout the rest of the year would be;
A control oriented low mana cost minion so I'm not forced to run Tunnel Trogg and Totem Golem in every single deck.
A class dragon. How long have I been begging for this?
A high cost legendary that isn't completely reliant on comboing with other cards for it to be worthwhile.

I think you can make an alright hunter deck since you pulled one highmane, bow, and trap. Check out icy-veins http://www.icy-veins.com/hearthstone/hunter-standard-decks. They got lists for basic 0 dust and cheap <1000 decks.
Yea I'd agree I'd like a more proactive two drop for priest for how the game is, but curator still isn't have bad since you can pull a shade or infested tauren for turn 4. Or even a huge toad if you need something earlier.
Karsticles

The problem with Curator is that you need actual board presence by turn 2 when facing Shaman. Like I said a page ago, I had two Shaman in a row kill me on turn 5. If you're planning for the 4-drop, you're on the verge of dying in this meta.

which is why I said i'd like a more proactive two drop. I agree that you need board presence by turn 2 against shaman. The only way I win as priest against shaman right now is if they get bad hands or if I have a circle combo by turn 3 or 4. Forbidden shapling also helps out the curve by giving you something you can drop on turn 3 and later

Have you tried using Embrace the Shadow for turn 2 clears to punish Shaman that do Trogg, Coin, Wolves?

I try and be greedy w/ my clears, but if that's all I have in my hand and no swp then I'd probably use it.
This is why I like crazed alchemist.

It's always funny how playing doomsayer on turn 2 against no board is often the correct play.
I am still of the opinion they really have to nerf doomsayer's health since silence has been borked.

If you want to make it a freeze mage only card sure. It's often enough a heal 7 as is already for other classes.

Priest turn 1: Northshire Cleric
Shaman turn 1: Trogg.
Priest turn 2: Curator.
Shaman turn 2: Coin + Spirit Wolves.
That's 7 damage on the board on the Shaman's end - Doomsayer will get crushed.
Let's say the Shaman doesn't coin, and just does Totem Golem. That's still 5 damage on the board, and all it takes is a Rockbiter or Lightning Bolt to help clear the Doomsayer.
Doomsayer is borderline worthless against a Shaman player with a solid starting hand, unfortunately.
Familienoberhauptvogel

That's why you run out doomsayer turn 2. Still removable but requires many resources to clear. Gotta be on the play though.
Gotta play Doomsayer turn 2 instead of the curator, as shitty as it might feel.
Karsticles
Member
I've gotten hit by too many Earth Shocks. :-/
Personally, I've become less and less of a fan of Doomsayer.
I think Embrace the Shadow is nice because you don't have to hope it isn't countered. You just...need its combo card.

i dont run northshires as they suck in this meta. Nor do I run pws. 4 cards you can switch out for better ones
why does everyone play the same decks? I am only seeing those "premade" tier 1 blabla decks, nothing else. If I am facing a hunter on ladder right now, I know exactly what cards he will have. That's a bit dull. Does no one experiment any more with new decks? Or is just the ladder not the right place for it?
I use 2 earth shock and 1 hex lol
It's just easier to look up a pre-made deck on the Internet than to experiment and tinker with your own creation, unfortunately. Personally I prefer the latter. Makes for a much more enjoyable experience (even if your winrate could've been higher). At least when you finally crack the formula.
Hopefully not aggro then.

Only just started playing this.
Wow, the step from level 20 to level 19 is immense.ive gone from noobs like me to players that have obviously played this game a hell of a lot and/or have paid a great deal of money to open up packs and get immense cards.
It seems that what ever I put down my enemy has the perfect counter.
Hopefully I get lucky and open up a few good packs in the near future. Ive made a couple of decks based on the stuff ive learned in the OP, but I'm getting my ass kicked.
