You asked for the consensus best list. On day two.
Getting into control matchups where greediest deck wins sucks.

Just double checking, if one of your minions is Immune, you can't target them with any spells, right?

That all makes a lot of sense. Funny how a card a lot of people were unsure of is now a 2x.

I think people unsure of infested were unsure of whether it's a 4 out of 5 or a 7 out of 5.

Mage with 1 HP left, I was using an Eye for an Eye secret. The mage casted Firelands portal which summoned a Hallazeal, he then frostbolted my face which instead of killing him it kept him with one hp, I was frozen so I couldn't hit his face. He won the game in the next turn.
Thanks RNG.

Bummer, but I thought as much. Trying to work out a Wild Pyro / Toxic Arrow combo but I don't think it'll work out.
There's Fallen Sun / Shattered Sun Cleric, but a turn six or seven, three card combo is probably too clunky and slow. Was thinking if Immune would work, Deathspeaker would be a better combo because it would leave the poisonous Wild Pyro up.
Anyone been able to get the rogue death knight to work outside of slightly-modified versions of the old miracle lists? I've been having a lot of fun with a combo deck using the curator and a bunch of murlocs/beasts/dragons, but I can tell there's no salvaging it into something competitive.
Yup this LMAO!
Yep. Rank 10 is a nightmare right now, I've run into nothing but insanely greedy priests like 5 games in a row now.

Anyone's game crashing more often on iPhone? I seem to be having more crash issues when I'm in the middle of deck building.
Don't blame him, I'm the one who called Zalae's list the consensus best, and that's because I hang out in Discord channels where semipro and high legend players hang out and they were all buzzing about Zalae's jade druid all yesterday.
Because the poster in question had literally used the words "consensus best list". Context should not be hard.
edit: lol beaten to the punch

This list is getting really popular at the higher ranks, might be worth a look (so at least you know what to expect if more people start net-decking it).

I don't get a ton of use out of it, but I'm pretty sure one game the player was trying to command a different strong minion to attack after killing Obsidian Statue. When the other minion vanished out of under their mouse I could almost feel a mental pause through the internet.

Yeah it can really create some awkward turns. Though I am finding myself underwhelmed by the performance of this card. Maybe my expectations were a bit too high.

That deck looks like a mess.

Does anyone else think this expansion seems even more reliant on Legendaries than the last?
I get the problem with the Quests was that if you didn't have one, you couldn't access the new archetype at all - but if you did get one, it was quite easy to put together a deck that didn't require legendaries to be particularly competitive as completing them relied mostly on commons/rares/old cards. This set, I'm struggling to build anything exciting out of the 60 packs I opened - this could just be me being a terrible deckbuilder, but I've never struggled so much trying to get decks to not sck.
I have DK Gul'Dan, but no other epics or rares to enable a control strategy viable.
I have DK Malfurion but don't have Fandral, that new 10 mana epic, the taunt summoner etc.
No Lich King for either - I suppose I should just bite the bullet and craft this one though.

Alright Geist makes Taunt warrior no longer an unloseable MU for jade.
Also getting Geisted feels real bad.

Nah, it looks like N'zoth priest and if shit goes haywire you start playing their deck instead. :SeemsGood:
I feel like the deck would be much better without Benedictus, although I imagine that's going to be the case for every Benedictus deck.

Trying this out and it's real dumb. Benedictus is as dumb as imagined.

Just realized that I haven't faced any pirate warriors until a couple of minutes ago.
Righteous Protector put in that work.

The DK Guldan deck also obliterates aggro with all of the AOE.
It's a damn mess and you know it!

Look at it this way
Ultimate Infestiation is like 2 and a half pot of greeds. Thats insaane. Auctioneer needs preconditions to use it, and it can be countered after your turns over. You might not even get to utilize it for more than the 4-8 possible mana(if you saved 2 innervates).
Infestation also guarantees a dead enemy minion and your board having a minion. Druids already have Nourish too, auctioneer is simply redundant and worse. Its like taking an Iron Bark instead of the Lich King. For Druids, auctioneers been pushed out.
Edit: reading along I see others have also responded to you about infestation. Well, more opinions is always good right?

Yeah defile wrecked my aggro deck. It was kinda hilarious though since it was the first time I had seen it played.
No it isn't. There's nothing in the game like Pot of Greed.

I got zero ultimate infestations hoping to get one out of. A pack

Fuck. Keep thinking Bolvar is better than he is and thought he had taunt. I had lethal too
It's probably the closest thing to a real deck with that dumb priest legendary as will ever exist, lol.
It serves no real purpose in the deck. It weakens Barnes even, both before playing it and after playing it.
Kibler has already ran into 3 straight Druids running this list. It's stupid.

Weird friends list thing crashed the client in the middle of a game that's cool
Think I'm going to try some combo warrior tonight when I get home. Blood warriors, arcane giants, dead man's hand. Should be strong against all the greedy decks out there at the moment. Pack in all the card draw like acolyte, blood rage, slam, shield block, etc. I think it has potential. As long as I can keep the draw engine going, I don't see how most of these decks will deal with 6-8 arcane giants and multiple per turn.
I had two death knights on board and a third in hand, and stupidly clicked the hero power before playing the third. Dupe, fml. Still won the game at least.
What are you finding with Bolvar? I kind of wanted the card since I don't have the traditional big hitters for paly yet. At least I can have a flaming dwarf on a stegosaurus!
A Pretty Panda

Oh you're mistaken, my decisions were much worse than that. i was playing Pirate Warrior and I was facing a Paladin. The Paladin drop Bolvar on 5 and instead of throwing my cards into his face and winning, I threw them into Bolvar and I didn't even clear him. He then steeded it on 6 rip
