I can play them, but I can bounce them, and they're basically free food. I had a full hand with no counters. I even popped 2 Coldlights hoping to get a Belcher...

So, I opened a golden Cairne in my Brawl Pack which means I have a free legendary of my choice. I still miss several legendaries. Here are the ones I'm still missing but I would like to have:
Need advice on what to craft. The classes I like playing most are Priest, Druid, Warrior, Rogue and Paladin in that order. My top three would be Leeroy, Sherazin or Lyra though for the latter I'm missing Shadow Visions for a Miracle Deck.
- Cenarius
- Antonidas
- Wickerflame
- Tarim
- Lyra
- Sherazin
- Kalimos
- Mosh
- Leeroy

Already have a regular one. Only thing I dusted faster was a golden Hemet Nesingwary.

I keep my golden boogeymonster for the next boom
Antonidas, wickerflame, Lyra, sherazin, kalimos, leeroy.
those are safe choices, the other are either not played or just not solified yet in the meta to craft them
there are some legendaries that are just much better if you get them on packs rather than crafting them (because they are good, but not fundamental), wickerflame and sherazin are the case, specially wickerflame, there are substitutes for it.

Craft for what deck you want to play. Tarim is really good though. I think one of the best cards of the set. Sherazin and lyra are really strong as well.
Tarim I feel like getting every match offered by Stonehill Defender at least once so I'm hesitant to crafting it. Sherazin I feel like will make a leave soon but I know jack shit about Rogue.
Currently pending between Lyra and Leeroy. Priest is my favorite class but like I said I would need 800 more dust for Visions. Since I would like to play more Rogue Leeroy would be my first choice. Given that it is a card I could see going to the Hall of Fame and since I get Un'Goro packs through Arena.
Thanks!
leeroy is the best bet given the thought you just made there. Lyra without the shadow visions just don't work well enough
also, sherazin is here to stay, I didn't thought that card was good, but given how much card cycle rogue had now, sherazin can come multiple times effortlessly, also, it just needs 1 revive to make the card play worth

Duelyst has made a lot of poor decisions in the last year, but I still really wish Hearthstone would adopt its "Play X games with class" over "Win X games with class".
That'd be damn good.

You can play rogue without leeroy. I think sherazin is a great craft for this meta. And then you just run the arcane giants instead of leeroy.
Wouldn't we then get tons of people conceding in 3 seconds for casual play? It'd have to be COMPLETE X games with Y class.
I actually like the Win part, it makes me get more coins and winning isn't that difficult unless you have to hard try it at ranked play
Right now I am actually running just one giant and leeroy (and ofc Sherazin).
Kind of throws some people off.
(again this is rank 12)

I found this to be pretty interesting. Is Hemet really this broken? What was Hemet's ranking before the set came?

That, along with Replace, are two changes I would ADORE in Hearthstone.
Duelyst has some protective measures in regarding this, and I think they translate well to Hearthstone. Not being able to concede seems reasonable.
It sucks for people who have weak collections for their class. For example, I have ZERO Paladin legendaries. There are ZERO good Paladin decks that don't use the legendaries, and they are game-winning. I always have to reroll Paladin quests because I just can't make a competent deck, and that sucks.

I've seen the argument for 1 giant 1 leeroy, but frankly I'd rather run an extra cold blood before leeroy.
If kripp says it's the most degenerate deck, then we know it's not. In fact it looks like a worse version of burn mage.
edit:
It doesn't look terrible but not convincing me with rank 9 showcase.
then why not try the brawl? I mean, even when I had a very mediocre collection I still like those quests since it made me have even more value over wins

what addon do they have that counts their deck for them? That kripp has on his right side

That works sometimes, but on other occasions Brawls are inflexible.
I'm really not a fan of it,since it often means to contiune playing unwinnable games for the sake of the quest, which is frustraing as fuck.

That's a slight downside compared to having a day where you lose 3 in a row.
You can always just pass each turn while browsing GAF on the side if it's a lost game.
I already browse GAF on the side of 90% of my games that aren't on my phone. This probably explains why I take forever to rank up, lol.

It is purely a re-roll. So in general if you are looking to maximize gold, you should be re-rolling every 40g quest in hopes of getting higher ones. Assuming you don't care about the actual content of the quest (ie classes or cards) you can only go up or sideways from 40.
I think once they added all the new quests a while back they moved the expected gold average down a bit? I think its closer to 50g than 60g these days. Even with with extra 100g quest and 80g shared one. I still re-roll every 40 out of habit since you can only do better.
Gold average, assuming each has an equal chance, went up with the new quests they added. It's just over 50g now when it was just under 50g before.
So I've been rocking this murloc paladin deck I found online to *great* success, but of the cards recommended for this deck...
the Bittertide Hydra has pretty much always been a dead card or at best, a nice sponge for removal.
The thing is I can't think of what to replace it with. Only thing I'm leaning towards at the moment is Sunkeeper Tarim since he could act as a finisher by making some of my smaller murlocs bigger to swing for lethal, or make an opposing board more manageable for me to clear if needs be. It's also only a 1 mana increase of the hydra, so it wouldn't fuck with the curve too much.
Thoughts?

Tarim always seems like a good idea.
Yeah he is such a insane card. Seems like a auto include.

I like how this brawl is introducing everyone to Quest Rogue.
I played 15-20 matches today from rank 9 to 6 and I only faced one warrior (taunt)
This worries me since I take it as that warrior is so op that they are already populating the higher ranks.
In the other hand, I must have faced without exaggerating, 10 hunters, which was great for me since I played miracle rogue and I went 9-1/8-2 against them, allowing me to climb from rank 9 to 6 in one day

Friend quest! Anyone want to wipe the floor with me?

Rerolls are random. Just reroll any 40g quests you get because you can't reroll into anything lower than that.

Thanks man. I know it almost looked like I was playing fast and sloppy to get the quest over with. Rest assured, I am actually that bad.
Still undecided which deck to throw all my dust at to zero in on and become competent with. Been having a great run with Hunter but the deck is, I dunno, not my cup of tea. Going to try Zoolock now that I've just bought and cleared Karazhan. Cost next to nothing to fill out the deck.
Yeah the meta decks right now are crazy expensive. Hunter is probably the cheapest but definitely can be boring to play. Zoo isn't super popular right now but is definitely right there with hunter for being cheaper.
Taunt warriors are very eager to just drop dirty rat on turn 2 against every deck.

yeah i made a homebrwew hunter with like, one non essential epic and about 5 care cards, and this is how my ladder went
How is Shaku these days?
I know he was pretty much ignored until Kripp and Super started playing with him in Miracle last cycle.
I'd like to a N'zoth / Burgle type of Rogue deck and am trying to decide if he or Sherazin would be the better craft. Probably Sherazin?
From this set, I still need
Primo Glyph x 2
Primo Drake x 1
Killer Plant Dood x 2
Sherazin
Sunkeeper Terim
I'd like to get
Clutchmother
Warlock Quest
Pyros
as well.
I'd like to get into playing Discard or Demon warlock too. Seems like fun.

I'm curious to see what Mobius would create for a Wild Miracle Rogue deck.

I'd probably make maly rogue, which I probably will do at some point. I guess questing/conceal is still very strong.
Wild would be so much more appealing if blade flurry was in it's original form.
