    Dark Peddler pulled a Hungry Crab. SO GOOD.

    He lived all the way til the end, too. He got Taunt from my Enhance-o, he got Aldor'd, but he lived, dammit. He lived.

    And yeah I won super hard. 8-)

    Getting stuck with hungry crab in arena, and then finding legit targets for it is just the best feeling

    When packs rotate out of Standard, Blizzard will stop selling them in the store, but you will be able to craft the individual cards.

    When adventures rotate out of Standrd, you will be unable to buy and play any wing of that adventure (unless you've already purchased a wing, I think).

    I'm not totally clear on when this happens though. I want to say it's ~18 months after release.

    Technically you can still craft them. So if a new player really wanted to play a deck in wild that uses Flamewaker they could save up to craft two.

    Ah alright that makes sense. If they'll be craftable down the line then I don't think i'll include that in my decision on what to buy.

    Presumably he wasn't able to finish the game. 5/1 trades into Huffer, 1/8 trades into Spider, Armor Up+Tournament Medic healing means he can outsustain the incoming Hunter damage.

    Edit: At least that's what I'm assuming, judging by the "justice hurts when you're wicked" comment.

    Well I didn't, but he dropped Shieldmaiden anyway. I was just very sad to be so close, and yet so far because explosive trap couldn't have been a few cards later.

    I've got 5000 gold saved up and the 50 Old Gods pre-order packs (what's the abbreviation for that anyhow??).

    Sitting pretty for this expac mannnnn.

    I'll wait and see what I get out of the 50 Old Gods packs first before I spend my gold. Cause if I get some good shit, I might just buy a buncha Classic packs.

    It's British English, you know how they are with their epithets that sound very silly to Americans. Still though, it may not be a great idea, even though it's very clear that's not what you mean.

    WoG is also a magic term meaning a full board clear (a la twisting nether, named after the card Wrath of God) so it's probably best not to use that.

    edit: technically they're usually referred to as "wraths" but whatever

    Man, OTK priest is going to really struggle in Standard if there's no replacement for Deathlord, Velen's, and kinda-sorta Chow. Just missing some solid defensive cards and the 3-cost slot is particularly devoid of good picks. I mean, there's Death but you really want something like Deathlord to stop early aggression. I feel Horror is just one mana overpriced and one attack too low to fill that niche. Losing Sludge and Light Bomb also sting, and I kinda wonder about Priest in general for Standard.

    Deathlord is probably my favourite card rotating out. I like overstatted powerful cards with a potentially catastrophic downside. I want more Deathlords and Fel Reavers.

    So I got kind of excited to try out one of the deck recipes suggested in the game and the one I almost have enough cards to build is Unleash Your Rage for Warrior

    I'm just missing Sir Finley, Grommash, and Shiled Slam

    Reminds me of a recent stand up comic I found talking about street signs.

    "Bridge may be icy...
    You know... the sign could also say 'bridge may not be icy'
    They literally mean the same thing"

    What would be a better buy as someone still trying to build up their card collection.

    BRM/LOE - I'm leaning towards BRM because I want to try out some dragon stuff (whoops I bought a wing when I first started so I kinda lose the discount)

    or

    Standard and TGT packs?

    or i'm also open to suggestions.

    LOE probably isn't worth it unless you need certain cards for some of the decks (Mrrgleton, Reno, for example). I would focus on classic until the new set drops now, as the meta is going to shift and a lot of cards will be rethought/revisited.

    I had assumed we would see that there would be some neutral defensive minions but so far we haven't gotten anything like that, not something really worth playing anyway.

    There's still a little less than half the set to go, so it's possible we'll get something.

    It'll be annoying if there is only one decent defensive neutral. I could see them not wanting to give us too many, but it means you'll see the same card in every non aggro deck, they had a chance to move away from that
