    Back to 5. Thank you for conceding on turn 4 after secretkeeper coin secret Mr. Warlock

    Time to theorycraft some decks I think
    Why can't I get rank 6 opponents like that?? All mine are like bums fighting over a warm meal.

    That was a rank 5 opponent and maybe was experimenting, had a bad draw and just said "fuck this"

    Rank 5 opponents are almost always better than 6 because they have nothing the lose and are more likely to be playing something fun

    I don't know what he was but he opened voidwalker and tapped on 2

    Pulled the play 50 murlocs quest and threw together a bunch of murlocs with draw & bloodlust into a Quest Shaman. Interestingly enough, it plays like a control deck until you play Megafin, and then you make your final aggro push with your rando murlocs now that your opponent is exhausted. It hasn't lost yet in Casual.

    Edit - Just beat an odd secret mage hahaha.

    That is usually what I do but sometimes I'll give them the concede instead of playing it out if I'm not outright winning. I'm more generous at the end of the month

    I still find it funny that the bad quest decks (Mage, Warlock, Paladin, etc.) have a higher winrate when they mulligan quest. Like, your deck that is built around this card functions better when you don't see the card because the card is just that bad.

    Reminder that the final reveal stream, and I'd assume follow-up garbage arena filler card dump, happens in 30 minutes!

    Dalaran Librarian and Hench-Clan Shadequill with that mad silence synergy.

    Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.
  • YiliasYilias Registered User regular
    In all seriousness though, that Hench-Clan is a Blademaster that doesn't need CoH, god tier card.

    Proud Defender seems really good, and Unsleeping Soul sounds rad.

    aka "we're still trying to correct Tar Creeper being used in Aggro decks"

    Not sure if good enough though....

    Is the copy from Unsleeping Soul also silenced?

    Because that's kind of making the difference between me saying, "Oh cool" and me saying, "OH SHIT".

    it is also silenced

    so good for stuff with negative text, but doesn't work with stuff like Leeroy

    Underbelly Angler is a good murloc generator. This card is a much more consistent version of the shaman quest.

  • UnbrokenEvaUnbrokenEva HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered User regular
    I'm going to look through the cards again, but nothing about this set really grabbed me in terms of fun deckbuilding implications the way Witchwood and Boomsday did, or even Rastakhan

    that may change if I find something I've overlooked, but I don't have that drive to theorycraft that I have had in the past

  • YiliasYilias Registered User regular
    A bunch of stuff will see play and experimentation, just not neccessarily in exciting ways. Every deck just lost half their cards and needs replacements.

    By comparison, I'd say less than 5 cards from this expac will see Wild play.
