When you lose 10 games in a row and ask yourself what you have done to the game to deserve this.

Next year is my guess. It'd be stupid for them to leave it in Standard.

Of course, who knows, we're talking about the same people that left Auctioneer in Standard.

I hope it leaves. Together with the generating spells bullshit.

Auctioneer is cool without conceal

Miracoli using it in more precise timing now

I'd argue it is only slightly better without Conceal. It is still an auto-include in non-Rogue quests.

okay can't wait anymore to see the meta shake out I like Paladin too much. Gonna dust some shit and craft Tarim, starting with the Marsh Queen.

People now saying Freeze Mage is better than any variance of quest mage now

Man.. freeze mage will never die lul

The ele handbuff deck is pretty damn fun. Stonehill Defender is hilarious in pally, pretty much always gives a legendary.

Don't want to be too premature but Paladin seems to be in a pretty okay spot atm. It's my favorite class as well and I expected much, much worse.

That's too early to tell, the meta could still move in a direction that fucks pala as it did with NZoth.

There's a surprising amount of different build out there gonna be interesting which ones proves best going forward. The top end appears pretty universal.

 

[Gothos]

Is it just me or Blizzard App aka BattleNet launcher is slow and unresponsive since the last few days? Moving between games takes couple seconds, it's choppy and in general performs bad...

 

[bjaelke]

I've only experienced it being slow when quitting Hearthstone.

Same.

havent played much in the new season but managed rank 5 on my NA account with a streak, took me maybe double the wins to get out of 7 for w.e reason.

i liked zoo earlier in the patch but have just gone with mid hunter and pirate war when i get pissed or am on a losing streak and want to turn my brain off.

got legend on my EU account 2 days ago with rogue but that isnt working well in NA for w.e reason considering a massive abundance of hunter and i hate the mirror.

literally all ive gotten from 10-5 in NA has been hunter and rogue, hence the pirate warrior backup list im using, which actually hasnt lost yet.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Primordial Glyph is such a stupid card, there's no downside to plaýing it. They'd have to start printing a bunch of garbage mage spells to make the discover a downside.

 

[FeD.nL]

That's too early to tell, the meta could still move in a direction that fucks pala as it did with NZoth.

Sorry, should have specified at the moment. But as I said I didn't expected them to have 3/4 decks that seem playable at this stage of the meta. But we will see where they end up.

Guess who is in charge now

Opposing pirate warrior got a Doomhammer from molten blade xD

Preeetty scary.

 

[Lyng]

The most unfun thing in this game is quest rogue. Its way to easy to achieve and way to powerfull.

The winrate of paladin against pirate warrior is kind of crazy.

At least it's not as boring as taunt warrior.

 

[Lyng]

Yeah I have to agree with you there.

 

[Lyng]

Man quest rogue is all over the effing place and its so disgusting. Why do they have to make some stupid deck that is both mindless and powerfull.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

At least it's not as boring as taunt warrior.

Yup something about that deck makes facing it wholly unsatisfactory.

1 quest
2 play a taunt
3 play a taunt
4 play a taunt
5 brawl
6 play a taunt
7 play a taunt
8 play a few taunts
9 die insect

 

[The Last One]

What's the best control paladin deck list at the moment?

 

[Lyng]

I am done for today. As much as I like the new expansion I have to say quest Rogue is ruining my fun. Would rather face nothing but pirate warrior then this cancer.

 

[LyleLanley]

A well timed counterspell against a quest mage feels so good.

 

[zoukka]

A well timed counter-spell against a quest mage feels so good.

You mean a dumb quest mage player feels so good.

 

[bjaelke]

What's the best control paladin deck list at the moment?

The jury is still out on which one is the best, but there's a decent Curator version making the rounds.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

It's weird that Paladin didn't get Sulfuras when 3 of 4 class legendaries are taunts.

1 quest
2 play a taunt
3 play a taunt
4 play a taunt
5 brawl
6 play a taunt
7 play a taunt
8 play a few taunts
9 die insect

Pretty much. Deck just does nothing but turtle up and play boardwipes.
Good thing they nerfed execute a while back.

Paladin matchup is surprisingly good. Vineslayer is the GOAT, probably my sleeper hit.

Hard to say most people have at least narrowed it down to curator lists.

all good lists are packing Curator.

EU servers doing aight?

 

[patchday]

I love playing Taunt Warrior. will probably use it to slowly ascend up ladder

right now seeing nothing but a bunch of simple aggro decks I can farm

(Granted it is slow; matches can drag up to many, many turns)

Thanks, guys. I already have Tirion and Ragnaros, I think I'll craft Wickerflame and Sunkeeper. Bad idea?

 

[Yaboosh]

I think wickerflame is an easier skip than Tarim. At least for right now.

That 3 mana taunt discover a taunt is just so insane in paladin.

 

[Tomcat]

Use the sjow list. Craft sunkeeper. Wicker flame can be replaced with tar creeper.

Man, that card is so OP. I didn't get any of it in my packs, good thing they're only rare so 200 dust is not that bad.

 

[patchday]

so what happened to jade druid. did losing living roots hurt them that bad? I never see any on standard ladder anymore

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Yeah Sunkeeper is a must, wickerflame is amazing but can be skipped.

so what happened to jade druid. did losing living roots hurt them that bad? I never see any on standard ladder anymore

Losing mulch was the much bigger deal.

 

[patchday]

oh right! stuck with that awful naturalize now for removal

 

[Nordicus]

 

[sibarraz]

Got my golden paladin, so I'm done with him for now.

Now I'm between Miracle Rogue and MidRange Hunter, I like the rogue class more, so I guess that I should give it a go. still don't know how much I will revive sherazin

Btw, which is the optimized elemental shaman decklist?

 

[zoukka]

Use the sjow list. Craft sunkeeper. Wicker flame can be replaced with tar creeper.

nvm found

Is this the list?

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

This is almost identical to Thijs list, it's good but I'd recommend trying to fit in a Vineslayer (the 7 Mana 4/3 weapon) as it helps with racing a lot.

So only two quests have winrates over 50%. Blizz so greedy.

I like this weapon, but only one is enough, right?

You don't want more than one.

WHAT A FUN AND EXCITING GAME THIS IS

 

[Yoshichan]

Alright, say what you want about quest rogue - but I just reached my monthly quota with it. Probably my lowest win ratio when grinding to 5 (58%, 37W, 27L) - but I had plenty of fun. It did take me like 10 losses in a row when the expansion was released to properly play the deck though (those weren't counted in the statistics).

Overall, it was fun and somewhat challenging to play. Not as mindless as pirate warrior (66%), mid-range shaman (72%) and certainly not as crazy as pre-wild secret paladin (84%).

edit: oh and my take on quest rogue vs everything:

- pirate warrior = 0% win chance. The pirate warrior doesn't even need a good hand in order to fuck me up.
- freeze mage = 50% win chance. Basically, it's all about how many ice blocks do they discover. More than 2 total ice blocks? GG.
- aggro druid = 20% win chance. Extremely hard match up, can't catch up on the board. Can barely complete quest.
- zoo = 80% win chance.
- quest warrior = 75% win chance.

 

[LyleLanley]

Lyra is great for making some real obnoxious plays.

 

[SonicXtreme]

rogue has only been 5% of my opponents in wild. priest is highest at 19 and hunter is up there too.

 

[Fersis]

Did the Hunter Quest already broke the game?
