Just RNG at work. I've pulled 7 w/ 2 golden legendaries out of 50 previously and I've pulled 2 out of 50 other times.

oh definitely I'm just amazed.

 

[Emilbus]

4th straight expansion I've opened a paladin legendary in my first 50 packs.

 

[cartographer]

Defile is just as bonkers as everybody thought it would be.

 

[Grief.exe]

I just had an insane defile when the mage got a Hogger off her Sindragosa

 

[Tunoku]

I just jinxed myself. Couldn't wait for the EU launch, so switched to NA and did the super long intro quests. Bought two packs off my early quests and I pull Lich King. D:

I had enough Gold for 31 packs for main EU account. Those plus 3 makes 34. And I really did jinx myself:

1 3-mana Prince
1 Golden Epic
7 Epics (of which 2 are abominable bowman, and 2 Fatespinner D
3 Golden Rares

 

[thepotatoman]

first legendary i pulled was lich king

thank you based blizzard

Same. The three after that were all Death Knights too. Plus the free Death Knight, so only 5 death knights left to craft.

Completely opposite of the last expansion, where my packs were so bad I haven't played since last april because it was just too expensive to play the game the way I wanted to play it. Didn't get a single quest in my 100+ packs, and only one legendary that ended up playable.

 

[Karsticles]

This dude has no idea what's coming:

 

[TankUP]

On Asia I opened 6 packs and got 2 Heroes. Then I got a third hero from the prologue.

On EU I opened 25 packs and got 2 Princes. And Shadowreaper anduin from the prologue (don't have Raza in this account rip).

 

[manhack]

Jade druid still feeling pretty oppressive at this point.

 

[Karsticles]

6/6 Lifesteal Charge that spawns six 1/1 tokens if it dies. That's the stuff right there.

 

[ZealousD]

HysteriA found a Defile OTK in Standard.

[The Wizard]

60 packs:
Valeera the Hollow
Deathstalker Rexxar
Thrall Deathseer
13 epics.
Prologue: Uther of the Ebon Blade

Pretty good start, lots of good build around options with the Death Knights.

 

[Magnus]

Jade druid still feeling pretty oppressive at this point.

Ha, I haven't seen one in 12 matches around 16-13 on ladder

 

[Pooya]

jade druid, with no auctioneer, double ultimate infestation and malfurion.

holy shit, it's so good... that 6 drop is going to see play lol.

malf hp is so good, like dark bomb every turn, it adds up very quickly considering how early it comes down. You just ramp up with nourish now.

I just demolished a pirate warrior, like it wasn't even close.

this is what I'm playing.

I don't know about kun yet, it allows you to do some crazy tempo swings with ultimate infestation but maybe playing something like Lich King is better.

People are still experimenting, but when they realize it is OP they will flock to it.

It's unbelievable

It doesn't even need endless idols and the recovery/stabilizing power is incredible.

I really wish I had crafted Hadronox now.

 

[LyleLanley]

Does anyone have a good list for an obnoxious Raza / Death Knight deck? Alternatively a deck that uses the shuffle your opponent's deck into your deck would be nice.

 

[Fewr]

at how many is your classic collection right now? because may be you want to buy classic packs because they are the base of the decks, they are not much as flashy cards, but they are widely used.

I had to sacrifice my gold on the classic packs when I started too, I had to do it or I would lack cards for the other classes.

Can't check right now how many cards I got there, but I'm always missing stuff everyone else seems to have such as preparation or defender of argus.

I started playing regularly in Feb this year, and have only got classic packs from brawls so that's the reason I'm missing stuff all the time.

I've also been saving gold for arena runs during KoFT. I'm at 8-9k.

 

[Portugeezer]

Build a beast is so fun, probably not a competitive deck, but fun.

He kill commanded his own face before I could screenshot fledgling + boar cream (crackling razormawed beforehand too)

 

[scarlet]

I made it to rank 5 from 9 unbeaten with this deck.

I won against control deck, even jade druid. Earlier version lost 3 times to aggro druid, token paladin, and whirlwind warrior (cuz I'm clueless about that deck)

0 mana voidform is OP. Not afraid of 4 attack minion anymore.

really you're not getting steamrolled pirates with that? i feel like you can't do much of anything for first 3-4 turns sans like one removal? i am tempted to craft malfurion and an ultimate infestation to try it tho (i'd skip on one UI for an auctioneer just for budget's sake)

 

[vall03]

As someone who is a Hunter main and likes Dinomancy, maybe Deathstalker Rexxar is a card for me. I've been reading a lot of people creating various combinations of Beasts which looks fun.

 

[fertygo]

Does Velen really necessary? I dont want to regret crafting

And there is out side shot Raza being netfed

LOL, this is what they nerfed Dreadsteed for. Fucking dumb.

 

[MThanded]

so far my favorite card in arena is skelemancer.

Running it in a paladin deck. People don't know what to do with that card. It essentially nullifies board clears.

If you hit it with spikeridge steed you can make it seriously annoying.

 

[Pooya]

actually probably shouldn't play scales anymore without gadget lol. hmm

 

[scarlet]

For me it's important

Once you got Raza and Anduin. You can do the 30+ damage combo.

I won against jade druid with full health + 16 armor because of Velen. And if you got cheap spells from Lyra that would be insane.

I did: HP- Velen-HP-Radiant ele-HP-smite-HP-smite from lyra-HP-mind blast-HP

 

[Beckx]

actually probably shouldn't play scales anymore without gadget lol. hmm

Yeah I cut that and Feral Rage too. This is what I'm running. Needs tweaks. Ideally needs another Mark of the Lotus but Stongshell is doing the trick. Would swap Lich King for Hadronox.

Digging this. I was doing a Quest / N'Zoth / Lyra / Shadowreaper deck instead which was fun, but not as consistent as this one feels. Thanks!

 

[fertygo]

Druid looks batshit insane.. holy shit

It's prettty wild.

I'm running a modified deck of the one posted earlier. I'll have to experiment to see which cards can be replaced, but so far they all have their uses

somehow I still haven't opened a single plague. does it work well? Scavenger too?

I like druid of the swarm, that card is bane of aggro. More fandral value too.

 

[Blizzard]

Golden Rotface lol. Thanks for the free legendary I guess.

But if you keep it you should get random golden legendaries! That's kinda cool.

 

[wiibomb]

This dude just played Dead Man's Hand on curve.

The wut.

If he had second dead mans hand on... hand (lol) then it might be worth because of the infinite value.

And if it is a control warrior, he really doesn't care at all about second turn.

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

Re: Jade Druid - The deck recipe built into the game is 28 or 29 cards of the optimal deck. It has to be by far the best deck recipe in the game right now. I'm expecting a ton of it once the mea settles down.

 

[Karsticles]

If he had second dead mans hand on... hand (lol) then it might be worth because of the infinite value.

And if it is a control warrior, he really doesn't care at all about second turn.

You never want to dilute your deck like that, though.

 

[Beckx]

Whoa

If you play Shadowform on Deathreaper Anduin you get the 3 damage HP

Just on Toasts stream

somehow I still haven't opened a single plague. does it work well? Scavenger too?

I like druid of the swarm, that card is bane of aggro. More fandral value too.

I love spreading plague, a board of 1/5s is a pain for opponent, then Scavenger or Lotus makes them all better

It's all just part of the stall but it's really effective at grinding people.

It's early though

 

[Karsticles]

Whoa

If you play Shadowform on Deathreaper Anduin you get the 3 damage HP

Just on Toasts stream

:-O

:-O

[Papercuts]

Don't you lose the reset hero power though?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

But if you keep it you should get random golden legendaries! That's kinda cool.

True but Warrior is one of the classes I dusted completely in the past and have only slowly been reassembling pieces. Gonna be a long time or lots of dust till I come close to a playable deck with Rotface.

 

[Beckx]

Don't you lose the reset hero power though?

Yes, it's normal Shadowform. So probably not a good idea

 

[Mulgrok]

that feeling when you are up against a druid who ramps to 10 mana by turn 5. fml

 

[Grief.exe]

I want to craft this Valeera deck so badly

 

[Karsticles]

Yes, it's normal Shadowform. So probably not a good idea

Got me all excited for nothing. -_-

 

[Nachos]

Yes, it's normal Shadowform. So probably not a good idea

But what you're saying is that Void Form already counts as a first Shadowform, so playing a single Shadow Form card will instantly give you the 3-damage version?

 

[BlackBuzzard]

so far 21 packs in of 120

Golden DR Putiricide Anduin and Garrosh.

 

[sibarraz]

Jade Druid is so good now, the 10 mana spell is a way better gadgetzan, and even if people start counterpicking with the jade idol hate card, I still don't care

 

[Magnus]

Just had a DK Paladin kill me by summoning each horseman, then returning them to their hand, one by one (Youthful Brewmaster, etc.), then unleashing them all on one turn. Almost feels like cheating. I felt cheated.

I know it's fair.

But fuck!

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Thrall, Deathseer is every bit as amazing as I thought it would be.

It's easily become my favorite card of all time.

I also love how the hero power completely shits on Paladin's peacekeeping effects. I got an Earth Elemental from Servant of Kalimos, my opponent used Aldor on it so I just turned it into a Bone Drake which gave me Drakonid Operative lol. Sadly I didn't have any other dragons to proc it.
