PROTECT THE KING!
Part of me does want to make a taunt Warrior just to see how it works.
As an aside moat lurker in evolve shaman is pretty good.....if you can survive until then.

Having both Ragnaros out on the field after your opponent spend both their hexes is pretty dece.
Meta shifts in the first few weeks of new card releases are going to revolve around what's easy to build, easy to play, fast to test and popular with streamers. Which is Druid and Hunter in the last two weeks.
Warrior got Arcane Giant, which is cheap enough to build but super slow and really easy to screw up.
Next week's hotness will probably be Malchezaar's Imp and Discardlock, even if it isn't great.

In magic you know a majority of the complete pool of cards and the power level is relatively the same for everyone.

People are trying new cards out, and Warrior got shit. When things settle in a couple weeks Warrior will pick back up
Blizzard needs to redesign Arena, it feels more like gambling at this point than any sort of challenge. Roll for a good class, roll for a good curve, roll to go first, roll for your early drop mulligan. Those are all more important for winning in Arena than any choice or strategy during a match.
Dragon Warrior is still quite popular. New version runs The Curator and Fierce Monkey (beast) for the extra synergy since the other two tribes are already present in the deck.
Better than Flamestrike. That ocurrence bonus... hahahaha, oh Blizzard.

I think this is the number 1 reason too.
Sure, warrior doesn't have any new cards worth playing with, but even old decks are now unplayable with so many hunters on the ladder.
I just wonder if hunters will die down after their new cards get less new. They don't seem to have that big of a buff as a class overall this expansion from my experience.

Midrange Hunter vs Dragon Warrior is a 55/45 match up.
That's a bad match up.
What the hell that's crazy... I did not know about that.
Those balance changes are relevant due to stuff like Freezing Trap and especially Evolve. Now you can feasibly play Violet Teacher in an Evolve deck too because the Apprentices cost 1 mana (and thus will evolve into 2 mana minions).
Blessed be this Disguised Toast!
seriously though... the token mana change is huge. Specially in the Evolve Shaman decks.
They need to fix those patch notes now, this should not happen
It used to be terrible because you were evolving 0 mana minions.... now those 0 mana minions cost 1 mana which means you get 2 cost minions. That's why Onyxia saw play in the deck because the Whelps cost 1 mana.
Unless you mean evolving into 2 mana minions is bad because of Doomsayer then sure but the upgrade is potentially quite big now.
I did mean the doomsayer problem. I thought onyxia was avoided in evolve decks for that reason, but I've never paid much attention to the archetype.

It is. I think Firebat said there's about a 10% chance you pull Doomsayer when you Evolve a full board of Whelps.

Potentially yes because there is a chance to get a doomsayer(s). Odds are low but it sucks when it happens. I usually like to have one other evolve or the evolve minion before changing a board of tokens. But all of that can too situational. It's why I think more people are going the double pantry spider and tuskar with brann to fill the board and evolve.

I got Brann played against me in Zoo. All he got off it was a 2nd discover.

The fact that Duelyst gives a legendary for S-Rank is exactly why I do it every month.
Then again, if Hearthstone gave legendaries for S-Rank, I would feel the need to push for it, and dear god I would hate it.

possibly but it was the worst play he could make against my hand and board.

Duelyst also lets you put 3 of each legendary in your deck so you need more to finish your collection and pack drop rates appear to be significantly higher (although my last few packs have sucked, so I don't know if they got nerfed or I just got unlucky). Getting a legendary in Duelyst isn't as big of a deal as a legendary in Hearthstone.
Yeah when it comes to actual value/drop rate and the fact that you can have 3 ofs in a deck means that a Legendary in Duelyst is roughly equivalent to an Epic in Hearthstone. And you get a gold Epic for getting rank 5 in HS which in dust value is equivalent to a Legendary.
That said Duelyst is still less of a requirement to complete your library and you get gold/dust at a faster rate.
legendary cards aren't even that useful in Hearthstone, I'm not sure why people still are so fixated on them. Like the only Legendary you might need in your tempo deck you're doomed to play anyway is Ragnaros maybe, plus if the class legendary is useful for it or not, like Grom or Fandral. Like everything else is just fluff at best, unnecessary at most.
Game is really cheap right now. Best decks are like Aggro shaman, 2 epics plus Sir Finley if that counts, lol. Token druid has yogg and Fandral, maybe ancient of wars, those can be replaced honestly. You can build a very strong token druid deck still on budget without any of those. Innervate and wildgrowth are pretty good and free...
Dragon warrior is relatively expensive, alright. but still not too expensive. It's not like you should to go after bad and expensive decks like control paladin and rogue decks right away and keep losing to aggro shaman. Definition of p2l.
I'm just clawing my way up the ladder in TES Legends now as a new player and that game is cheap too but I feel Hearthstone is way way cheaper to play a tier 1 or deck or close to it. You can have multiple copies of same legendary in the deck, really powerful cards like Blood Dragon, (think like Dr. Boom) and decks have 50 cards! I can't even fill my deck right now without putting trash in it lol. And the ranked reward is 3 copies of a single card, it's an epic card plus bunch of gold and dust. TES might seem to give you more rewards than HS but decks are larger and you have 3 copies of each card in your deck, so they have to.
HS is dirt cheap right now compared with everything really.

That's not bad all things considered. You'd like to get more but there's a lot of extra reach you could get out an extra Peddler discover.
Friends, I just received my Legion CE in the mail and as usual, it comes with 3 free HS packs to redeem. I couldn't redeem the third because I hit my limit of 15 free packs on my BNet account (lol, I buy all Blizzard CEs...), so quote to reveal a free Classic pack, first come first served!
Whenever I spectate someone:
1) they lose
2) they quit the game
There should be like a "phantom spectate" option just so it doesn't pressure players because it actually makes me feel like I burden people when I get the quest. One guy even removed me from his friend list when he was about to lose

Yeah, it really sucks when you're on the receiving end of the god draws and just getting smashed when a spectator pops in. I didn't need anybody to witness me getting turn 4 lethaled. On the flip side, someone started spectating me the other day when I was losing really bad, but I managed to survive with 1 health and no cards left in my deck and in 2 turns killed the other guy from 30 health.

I am always happy to help spectators, and as long as they will frickin' answer my messages I'll even go fight the innkeeper to get them a quick pack.
People who spectate and don't bother communicating get unfriended. It's not hard to answer a simple, civil question. (generally, "Do you have the quest?")
Levi#1147 on all three servers.
On another note, I generally share my 80G quest with whoever's online, but if you decide to bring aggro Shaman or another tryhard aggro deck to a friendly game it'll be a one and done thing.
Thanks you guys!!! Didnt get a chance to play at all yesterday. Will try to play on my lunch break and later tonight.
Yeah reserect priest kicked my butt so hard. Thanks for the tips. This slight meta shift made a new priest deck in standard it appears.
Well, see that's a bit of the thing. I wouldn't want you to go play some other mode to get me a quick pack, just keep doing your thing. The point is I don't want to inconvenience people, but most of the times for me it does really feel like it is what I do. I obviously would answer your message, but I wouldn't message you first if I start spectating as I don't want to be a distraction.
I understand it might add a bit of pressure to perform (believe me, I've had people sit with me through a ~6 game losing streak for the quest), but in my case it seems to add way too much to the point people quit or unfriend me, :lol.
what.. but.. but my dragon warrior deck! D:
same as me, just post here when you need to spectate someone and I'll add you to help
I usually try the first match in play mode, if I lose, I'll try a solo practice to help finish the quest.. spectating also puts a hell lot of pressure on me ha ha

Somebody tried to tell me it was a bad time to spectate because they were trying out a new deck, and I just told them not to worry about it because I'd just leave spectate on in the background until the quest popped.
lol. You can play your Dragon Warrior against me anytime.
I was just remembering the day I made something like 10 posts in a row about how much I don't like seeing Hunter and someone from Gaf picks Hunter after I offer them 80G.
It was like, really dude?
I do that too, most of the times. Other times I really do want to see how they approach certain games because I like seeing how other decks I don't play behave.
For the most part, I think it serves its social purpose. Some of my friends (hi Raxus ;P) even start telling me what plays to make, and while I don't always agree, I find that different perspective a net positive.
