63 packs, 2 legs, glad it was all with gold, also a reminder of why never preorder, I would be mad if this costed me 50 euros.
Anyway, DK Garrosh and Valera. from the packs, Anduin fron the prologe.

Awesome. Face the world's worst Lakkari Warlock and he wins because he gets Spikeridged Steed and Sunkeeper Tarim off Un'Goro Pack.
Even when I'm not playing against Paladin the class still finds a way to be overpowered.
Edit: Okay nevermind I actually won. Lakkari Sacrifice sucks lol. Too premature on the salt.

What I am missing after 103 packs
8 Rares (I have x1 of many, only really missing x2 of 2)
29 Epics (Same as above. Only missing x2 of 11)
5 Legendary (Hadronox, Professor Putricide, Sindragosa, Moorabi, Rotface)
5 Death Knight's (Druid, Hunter, Mage, Rouge, Warrior)
ALL 3 PRINCES. I DODGE THEM ALL!!!!
I have 22000 dust, so I am safe and will be able to craft what I need going forward. Full set would be another 28400 (33200 with princes)

Remember how I said that if you lost to pirate in warrior in 4 minutes due to RNG, that's no big deal, but if you play 25 minutes and still lose to RNG it's not great?
I had a 25-minute priest mirror just now (exactly 25 minutes). I got them all the way down to fatigue. Then they had a free from amber summon the Lich King, oops. They also got 1-2 free from ambers by copying them out of my hand / deck, with 1/7 or 1/17 odds respectively.

Jaraxxus feels pretty unplayable in Wild now. Might be approaching dust tier.
This is why Control Discardlock will never be a thing:

Wow, this Warlock just threw the game against me. He got his Death Knight up and was just casually lifestealing his way to victory. Used the Death Knight card to remove the top 5 and summon any minions and it summoned two junk minions and discarded 3 spells while putting him into fatigue.
Definitely one of the worst throws I've ever seen.

Alright, this deck is puttin in some work. Would love some feedback on how to better optimize it.
Edit: Also holy shit I just realized I'm missing Stonehills lol. Man, now I don't know what to cut for them. I guess one Tar Creeper and something else.

Pretty much. And can never be a thing, since targeted discard would now be too strong with the swingy upside effects they already added.
Just toss it in the trash blizzard.
Control Discard playstyle will always be a meme until we can actually choose which cards to discard.
Until then Discardlock is relegated to aggressive archetypes where you can vomit shit on the board and play broken discard cards while your hand is empty or has cards that benefit from discard.

The princes, particularly the 2 cost prince, are not that bad. The way people discount them so completely makes me roll my eyes,

Just got hit by the Frost Lich Jaina + Baron Geddon combo. Definitely not something I was expecting.

One of my favorite set releases so far. I think, so far, they one upped even JTU. It definitely helps that they changed the duplicate thing and gave us basically 2 legendary cards. I ended up with 5 DKs somehow. 1 from prologue, 1 crafted, 3 from packs. Only missing valeera, guldan, jaina, and malf. I'll probably craft valeera and wait for the meta to settle on the others. I know malf is great though so I might craft that one too.
I played a lot of secret death knight hunter, n'zoth paladin, and some stealth tempo rogue. Each very fun decks. Getting crazy strong beasts in death knight hunter is very satisfying.

First pack: Druid DK!
Guldan from prologue. The bosses are so cool this time!
Yesterday Dog owned fools with quest discard that has Guldan DK at top-30 legend.
He was probably lucky but it was fun to watch.

I dont hate them, but there is lots of cards I would like before them, and I am happy it worked out that way for me. Now I at least have a choice.

So DK jaina gives lifesteal to ALL elementals in a deck
that's ridiculous

Yeah, blazecallers... even barron geddon. Them heals are there. I think geddon is pretty slow but I guess it's got potential. Even anomalus but I doubt ppl are actually running anomalus.
It's everywhere, right? Not just in your deck?

I don't think Anomalus would be that useful even with lifesteal. It's a ton of healing potentially but it's probably too slow.

Already lost my first game in fatigue. My opponents Pally build was slightly greedier than mine and I messed up playing Uther when I had a vulnerable Tirion on board.
The lifesteal can't be silenced either.

Yeah, any elemental that you summon on your side.
Jaina, we really are the Crystal Core now.

Also I was wondering
What's the Magma Rager equivalent for this expansion? Don't they usually print a variant of it when each set is released?

Finally got home and got to open packs. Got about 80ish, all from gold.
Legendary Haul was:
DK Thrall
Hadronox
Lillian Voss
Arfus
The Lich King
Prince Keleseth
Moorabi
Pretty happy with it, as I feel like I puched way about the legendary RNG. Wished I got more DK's, but I'm getting one more at least with the prolouge, and should have enough to craft at least a few more with dust.
I also have a friend quest for 80 g. Nobody is up this late on my friends list and I'll lose a quest if I don't play it now, so if anybody on NA is still up and wants a quick 80 g, my tag is:
I'll literally be playing a Blizzard premade deck since I just want to do it and get to sleep. Hit me up in the next few minutes, will remove when it's gone.
Edit: It's gone.

Jaina still loses to jade druid unfortunately. It put up a good fight and drags the game for a while but I have like 20+ stack of armor and 12/12 jades while my opponent was fatiguing.
Main reason I'm playing jade druid only so far is because priests are very annoying, how to play control with all those stupid priest cards? you always lose the value game. Can't beat N'Zoth quest priest ever with any control deck even with warlock and jarraxus it's very hard, it's so much health and sticky shit you have to go through.

It's mean how the priest dk HP just shits all over Uther's
It's been like this every expansion... can't complain.
I am loving this deck because I hate hate hate playing w/ and against Auctioneer (and I think it's pretty clear that card needs to be rotated next year.)
Just a reminder to everyone w/ Lich King- replace the Ironbark w/ it!
Ramping into Infestation then dropping DK Malf is amazing.
Raza and Velen
You have to OTK him, if you have Uther you can use the 4 horsemen for lulz
You can just pick a deck that can set up a board and survive/heal, and out-fatigue him. Once you can deal e.g. 15 damage and he's at 15 fatigue he will die.

I'm trying that, do you remember what you used in your deck?
Normal silence deck. He tends to ignore your minions giving you plenty of time to build up a 30/30 minion.
