Hearthstone |OT8| Elise's Extremely Irresponsible Field Trip To Un'Goro

4? Did you miss 1 pack? I have 5 free packs. 3 from tavern brawl, 2 from login.
I don't think it's so much what they're losing, but everything being added to the game. The new taunts and the new ooze can really bring pirate decks to a halt.
It's not just about losing Finley, there's also Golakka Crawler which I guarantee every Hunter deck will run (as long as Pirate Warrior is a thing), Taunt Warrior and possibly Quest Priest. Having Hunter, Warlock or even Druid/Mage hero power is a huge thing for finishing up games or refilling your hand.
edit: ^^^ yeah I'm saying it's all about the meta. Pirate Warrior's best matchups are opponents who spend the early turns not developing the board but it's looking like the top meta decks are going to be ones that are board focused

Bash for the not so minion based build. It is all about percents. As to how much finley impacts the deck it really is percents. So say Finley adds 1-2% win rate... that would be enough, assuming no obvious replacement to put that deck down a slot or two and perhaps keep it out of top tier. My own experience makes me feel that will not be the case. I think the only hope is that on the other end, new taunt based decks make it hard for face decks to win much. Not too hopeful there.

Eh playing a quest turn 1 is the definition of not developing the board. You're freely giving PW a headstart.
You can mulligan the quest away on turn 1, and I believe no Taunt Warrior deck is going to be running any 1-mana minions anyway. For Hunter I suspect that the quest might not be played at all in the end.
Yeah i missed 1 brawl. >__<
Yeah i know its all about the meta, just wanted to know if there was any notable card goin' out.
Thanks for the info broskies!
77 packs and 17k dust for me.
Gonna craft all the warrior cards I don't pull, and then probably look at zoo or elemental shaman. I'll save whatever is left over to see how the meta shakes out. Warrior I always craft no matter what, and I think zoo and elemental shaman are safe bets at being very good decks. The rest I honestly don't know.

Yeah definitely looking forward to trying out the Warrior Quest and Mosh. Warrior is going to have a ridiculous amount of removal between Brawl, Sleep with the Fishes and Mosh.

I think stonehill defender is going to be a sleeper hit in quest warrior. A lot of people be hating on the 3 mana 1/4 statline, but I think of it sort of as an acolyte that guarantee tutors a taunt and is a taunt itself. Late game you can aim for huge taunts like tar creeper. There are so many warrior taunts they'll show up much more than neutral bad ones.
It's sort of an arcane intellect that draws and plays a 1/4 taunt and discovers a taunt.

I still have like no legendaries so I'm hoping to get lucky with my 55 or so packs.
Might buy some classic packs too to try and fill the gap in my legends.

Well,you will get at least one.

Should get 2-4 based on your luck. Yeah 1 is possible but not likely. I think it's 95% of people get 1 every 20 packs. Could always score even bigger though with a golden legendary.

If I spend all my gold on cards I'll get (including pre-order) 88 packs, and I'm sitting on 2200 dust before the Hall of Fame cards get rotated out.
I think I'll be OK.

I have the preorder, all 5 of the ungoro packs from TB/Login and around 2k gold.
I wonder if there will be release day quests as well?

My new colleague at work is a hearthstone nut, spending even more than I do (and I spend like $70) on each expansion. He might do $150 for Ungoro. And he laughs at me every time we discuss Ungoro and I mention how X card is rotating out, or Y deck won't have Z card anymore, because he exclusively plays Wild and always talks about how Wild is becoming the new best way to play.
Thoughts? lol
I'm definitely open to the idea of playing Wild more and getting to revisit and use many cool cards again, but my understanding is that the best balance (lol) will always be present in Standard, yeah?
Also, don't forget to log in today for another free Ungoro pack! I'm up to 55 now. That's the max possible at this point, right?

Wild hasn't been figured out on a grand scale. It will get worse the more popular it gets.
Stonehill Defender will definitely be played in a slower control-oriented Taunt Quest Warrior, but not in a more Tempo oriented one. The problem I'm seeing right now with Tempo versions is that the taunt cards for the quest are anti-synergy with the tempo cards.

Wild is the best format if you're cheap, new or old player. New player can make card like shredder, antique, etc cheap and be competitive quicker than in std. Old player can play old deck like mech mage and still ladder to single digit. Or make crazy new decks. Standard player almost has to spend money on the game even if long time player if wants to play many classes, so many quests and such to collect.
Don't forget, Class cards just get a 4x appearance bonus. There will be 40 neutral taunts as of Ungoro, and 3 Paladin Taunts.
My napkin math says you would have roughly a 45% chance of one of the Paladin cards showing up, and 17% for tirion specifically.
Aight, dusted almost all my golden cards I don't use (kept 2 cool golden legendaries and some other rares though) and got 6k dust left. I don't have Rag yet, so I should craft the golden one for 3200 before the patch goes live to get the full amount of dust (3200) back plus another 1600 when I dust the Rag right?

I think it's 3x but same concept. I'm not sold on this though for paladin. I guess it's possible.
There only seems to be 3 taunts in paladin though. 1 is bad.
Its definitely is/was 4x:

Yeah. If you don't have Rag, craft the golden one for sure.

Ok, but same issue. Paladin only has 3 taunts I think. 1 is bad. There are a lot of bad neutral taunts too.
edit:
ok 4 taunts cause the new leg is taunt
e2:
Could be possible for handbuff if that is a thing

60 packs and around 20k dust, will wait for the meta to settle before crafting.

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?

I vote for Sudoku, as an eternal student my condolences.
Aight, free legendary it is.
Hmm, that Devilsaur Egg doesn't look too bad. Coin the Egg and play Void Terror on turn 3 for a 5/5 and 3/6 is disgusting. Play the egg on turn 3 and Ravenous Pterrordax on turn 4 with a double adapt for a potential 5/5 and 7/7 is also disgusting.

Sorry man
DO IT. JUST DO IT.
Though 800 packs sound a bit of an overkill.
Alright guys. Here's Part 1 of our card review!

It's also going to be pretty good in Standard.
I can see why they'd think that, but I think Tar Creeper or Volcanosaur could easily be the best as well.
Here is the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fOc2LgWfFiETMAfDEGkGx_OupxWSSJVTU4ADfs5hyTY/edit?usp=sharing
The Average Scores tab has all the cards sorted by average score, from highest to lowest.
And if any one still hasn't rated the cards, you can find the link to the form in this post.

Power creep over a card that has never and will never see play is not power creep. Been said a million times

Christ, looking at that speadsheet I gave Ravenous Pterrordax a 1. Must've not been looking and thought it was Pterrordax Hatchling. Ah, well... maybe the card will bomb and I'll be a visionary?
