    Worse than just not realizing you have lethal is realizing you have it, but then doing something in the wrong order so that some ability doesn't pop and you end up just missing it.

    Also "That's Amazing!" is so much more annoying to me than "Sorry"

    Like the time I honest to goodness played: Prep -> Coin. I conceded. :(

    I forget who was raving about SW:P in the thread (Escape Goat I think??) but MAN they were right on the money with that. SW:P is fucking amazing in a world without sticky deathrattles anymore.

    "MNC Dover" should probably update the OP so the Standard / Wild stuff is clearer.

    I agree. Typing mass amounts of anything though is difficult with my daughter refusing to sleep anywhere but my lap. Will get to it when she allows it. Soon...Blizzard Soon™.

    Regardless of what my opinion of Yogg is, I found it an interesting thought process for card valuation.

    does the pity time really get reset if you switch up the types of packs you buy? or does no one really know? just wondering.

    I believe it doesn't get reset, but you have a different time for each type of pack. So you can open 39 TGT packs, not get a Legendary, but that doesn't mean your next WOG pack will have a Legendary. You may have to go through 40 of those to get your first WOG Legendary, but then you can buy 1 TGT pack and get a Legendary too.

    oh, that sounds reasonable.

    got a shifter zereus today, so i probably need another 35 packs for a legendary in wotg. really wanted call of the wild, but didn't get it, so i broke down and crafted 2.

    guess i'll be going classic for the next 40 packs or so.

    The pity timer is only the guaranteed legendary if you don't get one the regular way. The average amount of legendaries is one in 23 packs. It doesn't happen very often to actually go 39 packs without one.

    As such it shouldn't affect your decision which packs to buy unless you are close to it with one type. Until you hit 30 or more packs without a legendary each type has the same chance anyway. Generally you should probably buy packs where you still want Commons or rares, because that's where the meat is.

    Also note that AFAIK the pity timer has never been officially confirmed so while it was extensively proven for GvG and TGT, we don't actually have analysis for WotoG yet. (I mean it's likely that is still there but it could also be removed or changed at any time)

    edit - streaked to ten. I had gotten 1 or 2 streaks of a single game (as in, 3 wins in a row so a single streaked win) once with my beast hunter and once with miracle rogue

    but this is like I can sleep through it.

    I didn't wanna play shaman! I have it in gold already and there's lots of em on ladder but damn if it doesn't work. and I do love the class so much.

    So I basically took a long break from the game when TGT came out due to a combo of not liking some of the new dailies, not being that impressed with TGT, and Real Life. But the next expansion seems much more interesting so I guess I'm back in.

    How feasible would it be to not bother buying TGT packs and just crafting what I needed? I have a ridiculous amount of dust right now and have most of the commons from that set from doing the preorder bonus. I'm likely to pick up the explorer adventure since I always enjoy those but would rather dump my gold towards Old God packs if I can.

    I think it depends on what deck you are trying to play. The TGT representation is kinda low overall. I think LoE is really important for some decks though.

    If you have all the commons you're probably set. The only super important high-cost card I can think of is Justicar, and she's only relevant to Warrior and Priest.

    I seriously love this new meta. Fatigue/Fog Paladin is the light. C'thun decks are pretty easy wins too because I just outlast their minions, kill or humility/Heal the C'thun when he hits and then take them to fatigue. N'zoth, though, I HATE

    I mean the whole deck is built around it. Letting/forcing the opponent build up their board and then wiping it and healing back up. Humility effects force them to build up their board and combined with EtC is just so juicy

    Playing Dragon Priest vs a Miracle Rogue. Controlling his board pretty well so far.

    He slams Gadgetzan, plays double Cold Blood, no Conceal (whew). SW:D it.

    Later he plays 2nd Gadgetzan along with a Tomb Pillager he already had on board, conceals. !!!

    Double Holy Nova! SUCK IT.


    Then he floods the board with minions, plays Leeroy+Blessing of Might from Xaril and lethals me.

    ohhhhhh kaaaaaaay

    I had him at 9 health with Deathwing, Dragonlord on board too ;_;7

    If you wanna take it more midrange-y Al-Akir can work if you have him, but not really. The magnification of Rockbiter's damage is a really big part of the deck. And also because it's 7 mana deal 16 damage just on its own.
