The quest will rotate at the same time that the adapt minions do.
I'd be surprised if they have a quest that only works with one expansion worth of cards, unless they plan on using adapt in future expansions. Seems like it'll be hard to keep that quest relevant as more expansions are released if that's the case
C'Thun decks never received a single shred of attention in the way of cards after WotOG. Joust and Inspire were likewise abandoned as mechanics after TGT. Discover probably only got more cards after LoE because people went apeshit over how good a mechanic it is (and it is probably the single most interesting mechanic in the game, IMO).
Blizzard doesn't seem to have a problem making a core mechanic for an expansion and then never supporting it again.
Fair enough. The thing is the quest literally wouldn't work unless you play adapt cards. C'thun still works regardless if there are aren't any more C'thun cards, but yeah I guess it's possible they'll make one of the quests dependent on a one time keyword. It would be kind of shitty though since the rest of the quests seem to be based around regular mechanics

Aggro Shaman loses Trogg, Golem, Finley, and Azure Drake. So they will need to replace their non pirate early game and a little midgame/reach.
Pirate Warrior loses only Finley, it will undoubtedly be the strongest deck early on until people start teching for it.
Playing devil's advocate here.
Does Pirate Warrior run Golakka Crawler (Hungry Pirate Crab)?
Good for the mirror, and you can eat up your patches if you want to shore up your board against AoE.
Probably, yes. It's a better 2 drop than Bloodsail Raider.
It's really important that bloodsail is a pirate for bloodsail cultist.
This is only true if you exactly had coin + winaxe or N'Zoth's First Mate, and Raider in hand, and Cultist in hand, and your weapon lasts until turn 3. Any other series of plays and you aren't curving into Cultist on 3.
In my experience Cultist is much more frequently a turn 4+ play coming down the same turn as another pirate. If you can, you usually hold her until post turn 5/6 so that she comes down on a Reaper.
Alright. So it's turn 6, you have a reaper equipped, and you're mad because you have a golakka crawler and a cultist in your hand, so instead of a 7/3, a 3/4, and a 6/2 weapon, you have a a 2/3, a 3/4, and a 5/1 weapon. Pirate density is a very real concern because the cultist battlecry is extremely strong, and since STB was removed you need to make sure you don't fall too far behind on that. That's why bloodsail raider sees play.

Few of them were definitely lucky games, but I went from 13 1-star to 11 3-star and now back down to 12 3-star. Here's my current list:
1x Potion of Madness
2x Pain
2x Shield
2x Death
2x Divine Spirit
2x Inner Fire
2x Holy Nova
2x Northshire Clerics
2x Beckoner of Evil
2x Disciple of Cthun
2x Twilight Elder
2x Hooded Acolyte
2x Kabal Songstealer
1x Priest of the Feast
1x Twilight DarkMender
1x Brann
1x C'Thun
1x Twin Emperor Taunt Guy
Could definitely use some edits to be more consistent now that I'm losing some games. I had a good run from 13 to 11 though.
Edit - Oh some tips, the Inner Fire + Divine spirit is nice if you can pull off a combo with Hooded or Feast. Use Brann with Mender or Emperor for a huge boost in health or for 3 taunt doods. Don't be afraid to C'thun early if you have to, you can use the divine+inner combo later for good burst.

But P4wnyhof and Sintolol don’t seem to have gotten kicked out of the tournament for any of the things Forsen objected to, but because of a feud between themselves. In a Discord chat, P4wnyhof mocked Sintolol’s invitation, following it up with a homophobic slight about his parentage. Sintolol responded by invoking Godwin’s law and calling P4wnyhof “mentally handicapped,” before asking “why are these people allowed to survive?”

As far as I can tell Sintolol called p4wny retarded and praised Hitler for getting rid of people like him. (yes, really) and p4wny then made fun of Sintolol having two dads.
So both are silly geese.

So fucking stupid. Honestly it's amazing how often social media completely fucks people over. I'm pretty sure Blizz was looking for a reason after the Forsen stuff so basically he got baited but whatever, consequences for actions.
I mean, social media didn't do anything to them. They did it to themselves. He didn't get "baited" by Forsen, that's kind of silly. He made the comments of his own volition (they both did).

If they didn't post it, it wouldn't have happened. Yes they did it, of course they did it. It's still caused because they went online and posted dumb shit. The only reason they got "baited" by Forsen is because after the Forsen bullshit if that was me I wouldn't have said one thing bad until the tournament was over.

Those statements are a far cry from "not completely correct". The problem isn't that they said them, though that is what allowed us to see it. The real problem is that they believed those statements are an acceptable way to view people.

I kinda disagree with most of this. Like sure, maybe the punishment wouldn't have happened if they didn't post it on social media? Kind of depends on what forum they chose. If we had modern standards and no social media, and they took out an ad in the newspaper or radio or whatever saying the same thing, maybe they wouldn't have been punished because they wouldn't have been caught/noticed? But that's not a problem of social media, it's a problem of people saying horrible things.
And I think if they'd have said the same things without what Forsen said, Blizzard would have taken the same actions. Homophobic comments, references to Hitler killing people or other players being retarded... these are not things Blizzard wants as "Hearthstone player representing their country" publicity. It's all a hypothetical, but I just don't like how much focus you have on blaming everyone else, that's all.

Maybe? You are speculating, since they didn't say anything "not completely correct." If they said something "not completely correct," Blizzard may have just ignored it because why emphasize the bad publicity?

There was already a ton of bad publicity because of Forsen, that's why they wanted a reason, they got that reason. I'm pretty confident if Forsen hadn't said what he said Blizzard wouldn't have done anything about this incident.
Edit: There is no one to blame but P4wny and the other person. They're to blame. I never said they weren't to blame. I'm just saying they got into trouble because of the actions they took on social media.

It disappoints and genuinely surprises me to hear those sorts of insults from P4wnyhof and he deserves to be made an example of. But there's no doubt Blizzard's motivation derived from the Reddit witch-hunt, which will now escalate at the next mention of his name and become more insufferable. P4wnyhof has a genuine and growing community of supporters, like it or not, and his stream is a broadly positive thing for Hearthstone. I'm sad he seems destined to never get a shred of acknowledgement for that.

Alright.
