Woo, druid DK from the prologue. I'll take it.
Enjoy while it last.
Opened my cards in bed
Uther as my 10th pack
Prince Taldaram as my final legendary
To make you feel better: I got Prince Taldaram and ONLY Prince Taldaram.
I'm fairly new to the game, but I think you should open LK packs and use gold to buy both un'goro and frozen throne stuff as you see the need of either. At first tons of un'goro to get the basics but then more and more frozens. That's what I'd do.
Haven't seen them working yet. They still shit in my eyes..
So it seems decks are thin on the ground that utilise Hadronox, Sindragosa, Lilian Voss at the moment. So I've decided to craft The Lich King (given he seems to be universally accepted as a good card and could be used in a number of decks) and put together a Control Warrior deck with the Garrosh DK (which I got from the prologue).
I also have the Priest legendary (the one that puts your opponents deck into yours) but I just can't see the use? Maybe someone can explain the benefit of this guy? Isn't this just filling your deck with stuff you don't synergise with? Or is it simply a card for use in heavy control decks so you outlast/outvalue your opponents?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I've been trying it, and it seems shitty so far. People aren't trying to mill me, and the extra cards just dick with my synergy.

Anyone got some suggestions? Running Black Knight because I lost pretty hard when i didn't run him. Have yet to have a game where I don't get value out of him. Not a fan of Spreading Plague so far because I didn't get more than 2 Scarabs yet. Love Strongshell and Bonemare can be insane, too. Infestation is great also.
Currently watching Thijs and he loves the 3 drop Prince. Have yet to meet them on ladder myself though.

If you've got a decent Classic collection I would probably go for LK first and dip into Un'Goro. There are definitely some really good cards from Un'Goro like Primordial Drake etc. that you might want.
EDIT
Oohhhh, they added deck copying to the mobile client. Fantastic!
Haha Defile is the true champ card against busted Druid.
Cut one spreading plague, it's too techy to play 2 of.

When I used Equality, it made Valithria's max HP 1 so she was no longer wounded. I could then attack with her. That helped. lol.

DK Hunter is a lot of fun to play. I'm not winning much but at least it's fun.

Congrats. I opened 23 packs and got the terrible Rouge legendary.
I saw someone use moat lurker with hadronox, seemed like a good combo.
We had a pack opening get together last night simply to have a good reason to drink beer and eat pizza and it was pretty funny to see the legendary ratios. I opened 110 packs, got six legendaries and can't complain much. That seemed to run true for 4 of my friends. Except for one that got 11 in 90 packs, RNG was very very good to him.

It's going to suck if defile and other tools aren't enough to keep aggro in line. I didn't run into any aggro yesterday. At some point people are going to get bored of their greedy midrange and control decks and see if PW can still blow you out.
I thought Arthas would be the hard one.
It's still less than 24 hours, future mediocre deck could win right now cuz people still figuring out. But so far I'm also underwhelmed. But then again, I rated her 3/5
Warlock surprised me. Loving j4ckiechan's deck.
The VS Data Reaper Live is confirming my suspicions from yesterday:
https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/data-reaper-live-beta/
Druid is dominating at every rank with .57 power rating with Paladin a strong 2nd place.
It says "other druid" at the moment, and I'd imagine there is a lot of variation going on, but we all know what it is.
Not sure if people are teching to beat Druid yet, but pretty crazy how powerful it is out of the gate.

Really? I couldn't get past the first one.
I beat it with Priest with removals, silences and steals. I was able to Thoughtsteal one of those 0/8 things and then Cabaled a second. Boom.
I'm pretty sure they said they would all be difficult but that that one would be exceptionally so.

Oh man, might have to do Druid then. I opened the DK Malfurion card, just not sure what to do with it. I also opened a Golden Valeera the Hollow, so I have to try to make it work.
I want to try this one
http://www.hearthhead.com/decks/fenos-frozen-throne-midrange-druid
But I have no idea how to play druid
It's unfortunate bc I find druid one of the least fun classes to play.
The only problem with jumping to conclusions is the meta is a mess currently. Everyone is throwing together interesting decks with suboptimal cards and throwing them at the wall to see what sticks.
I'm surprised there is more than one Ultimate Infestation. It would seem the value would drop off a cliff after the first one.
I would think Spreading Plague would be bad in a token deck.
It's so good.
It's incredible against aggro if they have put a bunch of minions on. You match then token them into a fighting force.
I mean, it's an 8-card combo. All sorts of nutty things can happen with 8-card combos. The way you would abuse Dreadsteed was so much more accessible and so much more practical.

The value can drop but you up your odds of being able to play it significantly. Being able to drop it on turn 7 is great, even if you end up with a temporarily dead card in your hand.

Copied your deck to give it a whirl, very nice (rank 15). Only change i made after one game was took out a spreading plague and added another crypt lord. Bonemare always is scary and I always seem to have taunts on board. Might cut ultimate infestation to one but not sure yet. Thanks!
_edit, going to try and squeeze Hadronox in for one of the UI's.
