Elemental shaman is fun. I reached rank 10 from 14 with it.
Kalimos is legit, just make sure you played elemental in previous turn. Otherwise the elementals have no huge impact on board.
I wanted to craft rogue quest just because of Maiev, but I disenchanted my moroes lol.

Liking Crystal Core rogue
Suffering too easy from early game aggro is the only issue. So just fine tuning that

Rogue seems like it just wrecks any slow deck. 100% of the games I've played vs Rogue that played the quest, they completed and played the quest reward by turn 5.
Firefly Elemental or whatever it is called is just bs with Rogue.

I'm not having much luck with the Paladin Quest unfortunately. My strongest turns in that deck have actually been with the recruits. Sunkeeper Tarim and the Lightfused Stegadon have been putting in work and... dare I say it... the vinecleaver.
I might try and see if a more midrange style ends up working better tonight after work.

Nope, I don't use it. My only 7 drops were 2 Blazecaller.
And if you really need it, you can get it from servant of kalimos, which you actually can get another Kalimos too.
Kalimos's invocation of earth into bloodlust is so satisfying.

All I wanted were quests and I got one.
MFing Paladin.
I also got the Hunter dino legendary and that neutral Deathrattle legendary. :-(
Yesterday people tried to hex, polymorf and devole my board, people still has no idea how to deal with rogue

It makes perfect sense based on the wording of the card though. It's a unique effect that nothing else has really done but I think it's good that we are seeing something different.
The Deathrattle legendary is awesome! Spiritsinger Umbra, right?
I could not blame that player, I would have tried that too, that card is pretty different from what we have seen in the game
both of those are really good and could potentially fit all in the same hunter deck don't dismiss them
I regret crafting that new ooze. Only used it once.

that's why I always wait some time before crafting the cards I want in my decks, I expect the meta to settle down in some weeks...

Last night I was running the Elemental Quest Rogue package, but looking at it now I think it's honestly better and easier to just to run cheap, efficient minions and lots of bounce. On their own, the Flame Elemental generators aren't great. However, it is fun to drop the Quest plus four of them on the same turn. Game is basically over at that point.

That's the problem to me of the 5/5 Rogue quest - there is no counter play besides going face and beating them before they finish the quest/get minions on the board. It's entirely uninteractive. The ONLY counter I can think of is to Counterspell the quest when they cast it, but that is literally the only thing you can do, as far as I can tell.
I've spent way too much dust trying to make Quest Hunter work with Rat Pack, 2 Stampedes, Dinomancy, Quest and some rares. Maybe I should just skip the quest and go full casino hunter with infest and stampede. At least the Dinomancy + Rat pack + Infest is a great way fill your deck... with borderline unusable 7-9 mana cost neutral dinosaurs.
The weirdest part was that I thought crafting Hunter Quest was the "safe bet" to balance out crafting the wacky but weak rogue quest.

lol why did you craft a tech card so early
Get lucky on a Dirty Rat pull.. and then lose when they draw the second copy of their bounce target. Ah well, we'll have to see how the meta shapes up. Deck is really strong now but not unbeatable, though it might be a bit too consistent atm.
Not for 6 months.
Rogue quest makes hunter quest look really ridiculous. Oh you have a bunch of crappy 3/2s in your deck? That's cute.

Wait really? That seems broken
Cuz I keep facing warrior earlier, but once I crafted it, only faced them once.
No regret on crafting Kalimos tho.

It's funny because at 4 minions it feels REALLY easy to complete and really powerful, but I don't know what you actually change about the Quest to nerf it without making it completely worthless. Bumping to 5 or 6 minions needed seems like it could make the card too slow to be viable. Dropping the minions to 4/4 seems like it would still be pretty powerful but dropping to 3/3 would be too big of a nerf I think.
Maybe a combination of making it 5 minions required and 4/4 minions would work. Could still be scary in the right situations but wouldn't be instant win.

Taunt Warrior can brawl and put 5/7+ taunts up. Handlock can Felfire Potion, twisting nether, Shadowflame, and put 5/7+ taunts up.

People freaking out about duplicates in their packs.
I guess I didn't notice but I did get a billion uktrasaurs.

People who don't usually open packs in large quantities aren't used to opening lots of dupes. Surprise surprise.
Drop rates should be improved, but I'm willing to bet that there's absolutely nothing different about this set than others. I think it's just confirmation bias. Plus people on reddit can't think of anything else to complain about at the moment.
I opened 120 packs and got 3 corpse flowers and 2 Zavas which did seem strange given the number of different legendary cards.
Kazakus mystic wooled rouge quest board, ended up buffing damaged minion into a board of 5/5 sheep instead....
I opened 58 & got warrior quest, & rougue quest... twice

The bug during msog is why everybody is making a big fuss. They think that makes it possible that it is a bug and that they will get a ton of free packs. Ain't happening.
This is why I refuse to spend money, just in case... especially with the price hike in the UK.
I feel like every game is decided by turn 5 or 6, like 99% of the time you know who's winning that game by then. I've not seen a game hit turn 10 yet after like 30 games.
You have to aggressively clear the board so they have no 5/5s ready to go once the quest goes down and so that they have to rely on whatever they have from hand. From there you have to taunt up and grind them down with card advantage. They're still gonna be limited by poor draw and running out a chunk of their hand completing the quest + playing it. It's still a problem, especially when it draws well, but it's day 2 of this expansion. No sense getting pessimistic yet.
