by saying "i already own this, i don't need to sell it to the store so i can buy it again later" :P
I dusted all my stuff because I don't know what I'll play once the new format goes live, and I can always recraft if needed. I'm getting so little value out of classic packs at this point that it'll be nice to finally get some new stuff again.
So I'm playing Aggro Shaman in ladder against this Warlock who spends the whole damn match emoting. Every time I play something, "Well played," "Oops." Every time he plays something, "Wow. Well played. Wow."
The whole. Damn. Match.
He drops a Sea Giant for basically free on ... turn 4? ("Greetings!") And then proceeds to use it over the next couple of rounds to clear out my board. "Wow. Well played." He runs his remaining minions into my face to leave me at 3 Health against his full board and almost-full hand. He drops some minions, then plays Doomguard to clear out the rest of his hand and bring me to just less than dead. I have one card in my hand, and little hope of continuing my win streak. He sits there at 9 Health with his wall o'minions, and goes to rope. "Wow. Well played. Wow. Well played. Oops." Over and over. The rope runs out and it's my [last] turn.
I topdeck Lava Burst and play the one card I'd held to: the Doomhammer.
Right before I swung for lethal, I paused. "Wow. Well played." FACE.
To his credit, he did reciprocate with a "Wow" before he exploded into tiny bits.
The budget zoo deck that got me to rank 15 last season is just getting destroyed. Thinking I might not make it beyond 17 this time around. Rough stuff.
If emotes bother you, I encourage you to Squelch people.
Yeah, this 100%
Emotes tilt me so much I auto-squelch everyone at the start of every game. I don't even think about it anymore, it's just habit.
I'd rather concentrate on making the right play and not risk losing my mental fortitude because some asshat is spamming "Sorry" "Wow"
Normally, they don't, and I like to be able to say, "Hello" to people and "Well played" when they actually do something cool.
So, I don't autosquelch and deal with the assholes by (hopefully) just winning.
They still hear you even if you squelch them, right?
I say "Hello" and then squelch, and still give them "Well played" when appropriate. This allows me to be courteous and maintain the (likely) illusion that the person I'm playing isn't an asshat.
and, I've dropped 2 ranks
most everything is some form of control right now

My first 'Wow' moment was when both my opponent and I had Dr. B out. He runs his damaged Void Walker into one of my bots, which kills one of his bots, which kills my last bot, which kills HIS last bot.
"Extraordinary!"
"Amazing!"

Mage was trying to run infinite draws and delay the game forever, spamming "Amazing" at most of my plays.
Finally dragged him down to fatigue with half my deck remaining, so I couldn't help but hit them back.
Priest's looks pretty rude though, "Wow..."
It wouldn't be Priest if he didn't have top tier BM emotes. On time someone on a non-Hearthstone sub replied to me just My apologies, and it actually took me a minute to stop being angry and realize he wasn't sassing me. Thanks, Hearthstone.

Me:
Frostbolt->Mirror Entity->Bad trade (Like I'm desperate. I'm actually playing into it and trying to minimize face damage)
Him:
Frothing berserker->Other crap->2 patrons to face. Ends up with 6 patrons
Me:
Flamestrike (sitting on it the whole time)->Face with frothing berserker
He had to take it out with a fiery war axe. Lol. Like 26 damage.
edit: it's weird, burning cards mostly just to trick people into thinking you don't have what you have.
If i start an Arena tonight, but don't finish it until the expansion is out will I get a new pack or a GT pack?
I have been going on a rage streak in Arena, so am down to just 1700 gold, but I have over 10K dust and will probably dust all non standard cards, so I should be able to get a lot of the cards I'll want.

Dear Unstable Portal
We've had some good times buddy. Oh sure, you've joked around with me. You've given a Wisp more than once, and being a Doomsayer when I was playing against a Freeze Mage wasn't at your best. But even when you weren't great, giving me Ship's Cannon when you know I don't have any Pirates, you still activated my Flamewakers, pumped my Mana Wyrms, and given me another Fireball from Antonidas. And who can forget the truly great times? When your Jaraxxus gave me the win against a Control Warrrior, or when I top decked you and you gave me King Krush for lethal.

And I know I say I'll still hang with you. We'll always have Wild, and Tavern Brawl. But I know it won't be the same. We'll make plans, but as time goes on, how often will we truly follow through with them.
But tonight old Friend, let's have one last time. For esports sake.
I think I may have just played an Arena game against someone's third game of Hearthstone. He played boar turn one, didn't attack my face, hero powered turn two, didn't attack my face, Aldored one of my two toads and then killed the one he aldor'd with the boar and dude. Waaaaaat

Aggro Shaman is a helluva drug.

Never going to be able to keep up with whatever Wild meta evolves, so might as well.

2 legendaries (out of 20)
13 epics (out of 27 x2)
50 rares (out of 36 x2)
185 commons (out of 49 x2)
Will be fun to see how that shakes out.

Is it just me?

I was a serious outlier with TGT. I cracked 7 legends in my 50 pack preorder.
Which I'm convinced means I won't see a single one in this 50 pack bundle.
what deck do i stuff this in
Mine seems all kinds of jacked. It could actually be server-side, though.
You're guaranteed 1 for every 40.
Provided you continue to open the same packs and don't switch to a different set of expansion packs. Which would be silly anyway.

When the expansion hits (and therefore standard begins)
So 50 packs and 10k+ gold and 13 free packs means I could be opening as many as 163 packs tomorrow.
I'm hoping 113 will be enough to get me at least 1-2 legendaries I want to use.

reno priest was my favorite deck for it since it gives you more removal and you have the hero power to offset the health loss
pair with 1 ooze and 1 harrison
make sure not to queue them up immediately in case you chuck a cursed blade at them, keep that around
edit: it was also used in chugga/water ele mech mage which nullifies their weapon by freezing face
do you happen to have a list for reno priest
i refuse to run mech mage
mostly because i don't have the needed mechs
