When does the arena get the new cards?

Everyone is saying 12 wins in arena is easy now that some people still have their free arena tickets...

Yesterday and today's arena runs (yes, I played a lot). Number stands for wins, until defeated (3 losses).

10, 7, 9, 7, 5, 8, 6, 8, 10, 4, 9, 8, 6, 2 (lol), 11, 8, 10, 10, 6, 7, 4, 7, 10, 9, 11, 8, 6, 10.

Yeah, 12 wins ain't ever happening for me anytime soon. Vanilla/Naxx/GvG-arena was way, way different.

Sound good, I'll aim to stream at 10 p.m. EDT so I don't conflict.

Card reviews!

It's 2:30am. Seems fitting I'd tune in

So the Rogue DK gives your hero stealth?

What is the point of the Treachery card?

Treachery lets you give the opponent a minion with a downside, like doomsayer or rattling rascal.

 

[fertygo]

Man, Hunter is so bad..

 

[vall03]

Ugh, Exploding Bloatbat and Toxis Arrow are just meh and I waited for these two cards? So in the end, I'm just going to add Corpse Widow and Stitched Tracker in my Midrange deck. Very disappointing. I might craft Lich King but I think I'm going to wait for a few more weeks for the meta to settle. Also thinking about pre-ordering but I'm not really playing a lot of Hearthstone outside of daily quests, weekly Tavern Brawls, and monthly Ranked to 20.

My 1st draft of control pally

Too slow, might cut lightlord and put that 1/1 divine shield with taunt

[Pooya]

I don't know why toxic arrow cost 2, it makes no sense why it's so expensive. Arcane shot goes face a cost 1, the text isn't worth anything when you're hitting your own minions that have 3 hp or more with it. It's a very expensive way to just remove one thing already if it was 1 mana.

 

[Ketch]

2 mana cost is not expensive. It's almost the lowest mana cost in the game.

 

[Ronabo]

What's everyone's record for pulling a Stonehill Defender from a Stonehill Defender?

I've done 3.

 

[scarlet]

Just count my dust, so far I can craft golden lich king and 6 Legendaries.

I hope my luck is as good as un'goro packs.

 

[Dahbomb]

Anyone made that review spreadsheet yet?

 

[Dart]

damn that's almost 13k dust... meanwhile I have like 300 dust

 

[Kangi]

Drain Soul has questionable usefulness, but Despicable Dreadlord fits right into a hypothetical Krul-Bloodreaver deck. Still don't think control Warlock will be a thing in standard, because that hero power alone isn't going to provide the necessary healing, but who knows.

Sanguine Reveler and Unwilling Sacrifice help Zoo but I don't think the Devilsaur Egg combos really do enough to help in standard... but again, wild benefits here. Also, highly doubt Blood Queen makes discard any more viable... and Wailing Felhound isn't even worth mentioning.

 

[Blizzard]

I ended up deciding to teach myself some Twitch stuff. I'm starting in 10 minutes if anyone wants to show up and do a community vote on each card.

I'm going to submit both my own vote and Twitch average votes into the spreadsheet, though of course I'll probably just end up talking to myself for an hour. It's good practice.

Does this break the game? Would need to hit 3 pieces with emperor to do in one turn but theoretically this goes infinite?

LMAO you might be on to something there.

Huh. That sure seems like it'd break the game, lol.

Defile has a hard-coded limit on the number of triggers. Don't remember off the top of my head what the number is.

 

[Otnopolit]

Oops xD This is a big reason why I'm excited about this expansion : Blizzard is taking risks. Time to crunch the bank account numbers and see if I can pre order without fear!

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Alright, so this is super work in progress but, maybe Big Boy Shaman can work.

Also considering trying to potentially fit in White Eyes and/or Faceless Manipulator.

 

[Blizzard]

Polling is working and I'm off through the class cards first. If anyone votes just type in chat to let me know, because otherwise I probably won't stop to spend much time with the polls since I'm the only one here.

9 7+ drops is insanely greedy imo. you need something for early game, perhaps the corsair/patches combo for early defense, otherwise just not enough early game to stop agro and agro is gonna be insanely powerful for at least the first week of this greedy ass meta

 

[wiibomb]

Defile has a hard-coded limit on the number of triggers. Don't remember off the top of my head what the number is.

If I'm not wrong the max is about 50 triggers, which will take a lot.

The purposefully made these "cast again" card effects quick so the animations don't eat a whole 2 or 3 turn times.

 

[toddhunter]

Question about the expansion, is it 2 or 3 days before everyone starts complaining about divine favour being broken again?

 

[wiibomb]

I have 1 year being here and I haven't seen that complain.

 

[Dahbomb]

I definitely still hate Divine Favor.

 

[The Last One]

I just sacrificed my Sonic Mania purchase and bought the 50 packs. I'm soooo weak.

that's a $20 game <_<

what's the divine cancer deck of this expansion? dark conviction and righteous protector look kind of nice but eh

perhaps a hobgoblin deck could get a little boost from some of these new cards

Yeah, I need to cut lightlord and 1 primordial drake.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I prepurchased 50 decks

I've never spent that much on hearthstone

i am weak

I know, I'll probably buy it anyway, I'm too weak. lol

 

[SonicXtreme]

I recommend wickerflame and corpsetakers

 

[Drkirby]

It will hit the max defile count, which is likely 30-50.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Haven't spent money since the Welcome Pack. Thinking about it.

 

[gutshot]

Card rating spreadsheet is ready! Quote to reveal link.

 

[Officerrob]

Looking at the entire set, Hunter got a bunch of garbage

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Thanks for your hard work gutshot, going to fill it out now.

 

[SonicXtreme]

nothing's gonna work in wild except uther, priest and agro, right

im already so sick of anduin but that priest card is just going to double down on those long ass games since it fits in every goddamn priest deck just like the paladin one does

Warlock hero is going to vastly change renolock I think.

 

[toddhunter]

It comes and goes. New expansion + slow cards that sit in your hand equals aggro paladin every single time. This time they even got a nice shiny 1 drop to make it even dumber.

 

[SonicXtreme]

that snow giant could be pretty nasty in wild shaman but too risky to run 2 of them I think

 

[scarlet]

Yup, I was thinking corpsetaker and that 1/1 divine shield taunt minion.

 

[Blizzard]

Phew, an hour in and I'm only 5/9 classes in. It's all worth it since 2 random chat people have showed up and thrown in some random votes though.

I've probably got an hour left at https://www.twitch.tv/agentbliz.
