anything in this expansion to cheat with goya? i still haven't dusted that but all the decks with it so far don't seem good or fun enough
Amazon's slow patch rollouts are incredibly obnoxious.
The funny thing is that I hardly see it in Wild.
You can get that 12/12 beast out from Druid.
So you could do the Pre-order without the Un'Goro patch. I was able to pre-order it on the Amazon version weeks ago.
You might be completely hosed now though since that Pre-order will end when Un'goro releases and they just put the packs up for sale.

So when are we looking at the expansion releasing in EU?
Thanks free Brawl pack.
one of the best legs to have as golden.
not only it adds a sick portrait, it is also an infinite 6/6 golden token generator
sent you a request, let me know when you are online to help you
I've played discardlock for a while and I don't really see how she can be a bad card.
every time you go for a discard you hope to hit a golem, assuming you have one to begin with, or to hit some useless 1 drop you don't need anymore. most of the time however you end up discarding more than 2-3 cards, and some of them could have been valuable cards you didn't want to discard to being with. Zavas is there to give you a chance (a very high chance once you're in turn 4-5 and you started dumping your hand) to discard nothing and get her buffed instead. then you can maybe go for a very strong turn 7 like Doomguard into 6/6 Zavas. she could also be considered a third golem (as in, a card you do want to discard)
she can be a dead card, that's true, but you can say the same for the golems or a few other cards in the deck. I was wrong about golems/discardlock before the deck started to be a thing because I underestimated it, but I don't think I'm wrong in this case.
that being said, I'm not so sure anymore about the discard deck coming back as a really strong deck after this expansion. I guess it'll mostly depend on how well the new cards (besides Zavas) will work in it.

Finally got around to rating the set and there are a suprsingly low amount of "why does this exist" cards. A lot of interesting effects with niche potential. Elementals, warrior and hunter quest decks seem like fairly safe bets at the moment but who knows how it will all shake out.
Too bad control warlock looks kinda dead without any kind of healing in standard. :<
You still have Cult Apothecary, Earthen Farseer and double Siphon Soul. And a ton of taunts.
Gotta squeeze blood from rock my friend.
The deck isn't dead if you let Jaraxxus get WILD.
For real tho people act like Wild doesn't even exist, and it totally does! Games are there all the time. Only if you're trying to climb to legend can the queue get a bit long.

Does anything even make wild renolock from this, besides that better anti weapon minion
I think you can replace Imp Gang Boss with Tar Creeper in the 3 slot.
The Wild Renolock deck is like 20% tech choices based on the current meta, so depending on what gets popular I could see stuff rotating out of it to better fit the decks after JUG. That said would you acutally run any JUG cards? I can't think of one immediately. You might consider stuff like Black Knight if taunt warrior becomes a thing, and so forth.
Probably you don't change anything because Pirates and Jades stay relevant to some level.

Who puts Aviana and Kun and Lunar Visions in a damn jade deck?
And here I thought I was being overly greedy with double ancestral spirit.
Jade Druids are the worst.

That's what I said lol.
Though to be fair there aren't enough tools for regular non Patches aggressive decks these days. They nerfed a large number of them. A sole Leper Gnome doesn't look that good played next to nerfed Abusive Sergeant, Knife Juggler, Arcane Golem or with a lack of PO, Quick Shot, Argent Horserider etc.

Yeah, I'm just surprised that its listed as a pack filler everywhere, even my friends say that its bad. Though I agree about the usefulness of the card for an aggro deck. Will definitely try it out on a Hybrid/Midrange Hunter deck and see how it goes. But to be honest, there are just other better 1-drops, it's not OP, but it's not completely unplayable imo.

I know there's only one day before the rotation hits, but I have to ask.
How much should I worry about entomb from a dragon priest at around rank 14?

It seems fairly middling. 2/1 is worse now than it was in leper gnome's prime as dealing with it results in less lost tempo for your opponent. Getting this killed by your opponent's patches and then having them be ahead on board with a slightly faster clock is pretty punishing. Could see play in the hunter quest deck but doesn't strike me as something where you'll feel ahead the second it hits the board.

Yeah, I should probably stop worrying about it.
Used Ancestral on Earth Elemental and won the game agaist the Dragon Priest that spawned the question, but being worried about entomb is so ingrained into me after playing so much N'Zoth Shaman and Control Paladin over the last year.

Don't play around entomb from dragon priest. I haven't seen entomb in a really long time, esp. dragon priest.
Unless it is Reno. Then you can worry more about entomb and songstealer.

You probably still don't play around it in reno priest. Not in this aggressive meta and it's even just a 1 of.

For any fellow slackers:
THE AMAZON APP STORE HAS UPDATED
I JUST PREORDERED UN'GORO
You get 500 coins back for preordering this way (lol @ coin tax though).

Do we know what time exactly we'll be able to start crackin' some packs tomorrow?
Man, speaking of greedy priest...
If I had even halfway decent collection, I'd try memeing in Madam Goya with the Priest reward card.

Play greedier quest/n'zoth warrior. Problem solved.

Freaking Jade Druid again killing me with Brann and Aya making 7/7 jades by turn 7.
Screw this, I'm playing Pirate Warrior.

I wish Blizzard would figure their shit out, the two cards that say deal attack damage don't work with poison but Wild Pyro which just says deal 1 damage does. Pretty f'n stupid.

Blade flurry is a spell. It just deals damage equal to your weapon's attack and doesn't actually use the weapon. I was hopeful it would be different but it's consistent at least.
Betrayal is actually different. It's not spell damage and isn't buffed by spell damage.
Wild pyro activation isn't buffed by spell damage either, it's not a spell.

I think that just proves my point though, from looking at these two cards. What exactly differentiates the two to let the user know that Blade Flurry is spell damage based and can be increased by Spell damage, while betrayal isn't and will apply whatever effect the card attacking has?
If anything these two should work and WP shouldn't as it's dealing efffect damage and not attack damage which would be poisonous.
I'm not a very skilled player, but I theory crafted this Priest N'Zoth Quest deck: http://www.hearthpwn.com/deckbuilde...56:2;55461:2;55492:1;55522:1;55543:2;55570:2;
Any thoughts? I'm unsure if having 2 Bittertide Hydra's is correct, but I figured it was a cheap minion with huge benefits, considering Amara can heal me back up to 40.

Blade flurry totally should work with the poisonous weapon buff.
If you save the deck and link to the final page it is way easier to read, especially on mobile.
Yeah I don't think the bittertide hydra are a good idea.
And you need the new deathrattle taunt minion not the tar creepers I think. Or instead of the hydras.
And even then your win condition (Nzoth) isn't really the greatest. Priest is just problematic in standard I think.

Meh, I don't really agree. They have the following text on Savagery: "Deal damage equal to your hero's Attack to a minion." If I had a weapon with poison applied I wouldn't expect Savagery to deal the poison...though I wouldn't be shocked if it did. If that's what they want it to do there's no reason to have the text not read the same thing.
