the problem with warrior is weaponing on 2 leads to them kind of wanting to play a rush minion on 3. and if they're not playing a rush minion they probably don't want to swing because odds are they equipped the weapon to hit something last turn so they're on 1 dur.

so you what? drop this guy on 3? hold your swing and try to go off on 4? seems a little awkward

I saw Hearthpwn had put up some of the datamined flavor text for the new expansion. Some of them are pretty dumb, but man, some of them are amazing:

Quartz Elemental - These elementals, along with feldspar and mica, are often taken for granite.
Fiendish Circle - Like a knitting circle, but less evil.
Hagatha the Witch - Curse-bringer, tree-twister, mother of wretched things…Hanzo main.
Blackwald Pixie - "Oh hi bark."
Countess Ashmore - "1 minion… ah, ah, ah! 2 minions… ah, ah, ah! 3 minions… ah, ah, ah!"
Earthen Might - Or it might not.
Felsoul Inquisitor - Everyone expects an inquisition reference.
Witchwood Imp - This wood imp. Stop asking!
Glinda Crowskin - Summon an unlimited* number of minions!** *Six **Wisps
Genn Greymane - Ever since Sylvanas killed his son, he's dreamed of getting… even
Vivid Nightmare - "I… I dreamed I accidentally crafted a golden Millhouse! It was so REAL!"
Black Cat - She's so odd, you can't even

I guess it's not clear because I wasn't quoting but I was responding to the idea of running hench-clan thug in warrior to take advantage of the 2 mana weapon. that's what the whole second line is about.

Oh gotcha.



I think chameleos is a bad card. I don't think it can overcome being useless on draw.

I get it's a reference to The Room but why for this card?

lol, 12-4 rank 9 to 7 with Standard Giant Druid. Adjusted a bit from last page to stop using cube and have more giants. Molten Giant + Earthen Scales is pretty good.

Seriously, is anyone else doing well with Molten Giants? Any good streamer decks I need to know about?

A 5 mana buff is pretty huge even to molten giant.

Crafting explanation for the upcoming hall of fame rotation, assuming you do NOT care about keeping the cards afterwards and want to maximise your dust gain. Using Ice Block as an example.

Option A You have 0 Ice Blocks total: You ideally want to craft 2 golden Ice Blocks and disenchant them after the rotation, net gaining you 800 dust (you spend 3200 to craft both, get 3200 back from the rotation, then you disenchant them for 400 each). Craft regular ones if you do not have the dust for golden ones

Option B You have 1 regular and 1 golden Ice Block: Do NOT craft anything. If you craft a golden Ice Block at this point you spend 1600 to craft it, get 1600 for it back after the rotation, disenchant it for 400 BUT you do lose the 400 return dust you would have gotten for the plain version, as you only get dust for your two most expensive copies. You end up with the same amount of dust as if you would have just kept your 1 plain and 1 gold Ice Block.

Option C You have 1 plain OR 1 gold Ice Block: Craft one golden Ice Block (or plain if you can not afford gold) to end up with 2 copies total. Same logic as in A and B applies, you gain dust if you do not own the card you crafted but you do not gain anything if you already had 2 copies total before you crafted anything.

TL;DR Craft gold if you only have 0 or 1 copies of a rotating card, do nothing if you have 2 total. If you have the choice between crafting one golden epic or two plain ones, craft the golden one first, it gives more dust when you disenchant it than both regulars combined​

The only reason to craft golden cards if you already have the regular version is if you really want the golden versions and want to effectively spend 800 dust for them instead of 3200.

Crafted two Golden Molten Giants as I had none. Got 4000 gold and what should be like 20k dust after it's all settled. Should be ready to cover what I need from the new set.

Wonder if I'll get a class Legendary worth a damn.

Yeah. And no one wants to get a quest crushed.

Some of those are fantastic. My personal favorite is:

Genn Greymane - Ever since Sylvanas killed his son, he's dreamed of getting… even

I also like:
I'm disappointed with the flavor text for Town Crier.
I saw flavor text on reddit that would've been fantastic for him. "The wolf who cried town".

Apparently there's a bug with the new quests. Everyone is getting beat down and if you reroll it you get destroy them all.

So, I took Scarlet advice and used Excel to do some Steiner Math

To summarize, if you already owned the regular card, you gain nothing crafting the golden card. The only net gain that I got, came from the Molten Giants that I didn't have

Welp, at least I didn't lost dust as far as I know

Yeah, I like this. Two extra beasts for KC activation is good. Or maybe you also swap out the Panthers for that new Hunter Worgen card? One extra attack and with no Houndmaster, you prob don't care as much that it's not a Beast. The stat swapping might be too clunky though.

Versus Cubelock, you concede as soon as the first Voidlord hits the board or do you try to wear them down with hero power + KC?

I would replace Jungle Panthers or Worgen Infiltrators with Blackwald Pixies

Taunts were not usually a problem for Face Hunter in the past. You should be saving your KCs to go over the top, you have Owl to silence and push more damage from your board and, yes, you always have your Hero Power. Healing is the main issue, but with Mistress rotating out, Cubelock will have fewer health gain options.
