    It felt good to dust Hanar for 1600

    Decks that slay after the patch:

    Tempo warrior ft. execute (one of), deathwing mad aspect and grommash

    Stealth Galakrond rogue ft. greyheart sage

    Galakrond priest

    Highlander hunter

    I mean, 1 less health on Hanar doesn't suddenly make him unplayable :p

    He is still good and I see no reason to dust him.

    I think one of my favorite changes is the extra health on Lurker. I really enjoyed Kibler's Dragon Quest Shaman already.

    The fact that he's a (banked) free Legendary of your choice right now is a pretty good reason to dust him. Always Be Dusting nerfed cards. You can change your mind for free later.

    I guess? I always hear that “it’s a free legendary” logic when a nerf like this rolls around. But it’s not free if you dust it and craft something else! If you want the original back you still gotta pay 1600.

    Better wait until you're sure you want the other Legendary more than the nerfed one before you do it then!

    Edit: "Free" in this sense generally means it's a free opportunity to swap one Legendary for another. Kind of like when people call a Golden Legendary a free Legendary of your choice.

    I had a whole bunch of duplicates of the nerfed cards (9+ on all of the rares and commons) so I made out like a bandit dust wise from the nerfs.
    I did all right. 11 Sigil Runners and 12 Scavenger's, a few extra rares including a Golden Blackjack Stunner.

    But.... then it makes Rogue unplayable. You don't play Rogue without Hanar!

    I still like playing Rogue and I still plan on playing Rogue and this nerf isn't going to suddenly make Rogue bad, so......

    There's no reason to dust Hanar?

    not quite as bad now that it has 4 health

    PS @Dibby i am not missing Hanar at all, replaced his package with some stealthy bois and greyheart sage with double shadowstep

    far more consistent draw, and getting multiple copies of flik/togwaggle/kronx puts me in a really good spot vs control

    What is a free Legendary is if you had a golden copy and dust it then craft a regular version for 1600.

    For being a 6.67% chance, pharaoh car pulls generous mummy way too fucking often for me.

    Also, I thought that the 3/2 rush warrior reborn minion had rotated out, because during my entire climb up with my bonus stars to diamond 6, I haven’t seen it once.

    Warrior stopped playing it because Town Crier rotated out. It's a lot less desirable when you don't have a reliable means of tutoring it.

    Right, but in something like 25-30 games, I haven’t seen it once off the cat.

    Meanwhile, easily 50% of the time its Generous Mummy, which might be the worst possible option. One match I literally got 3 In a row after playing that 1 mana return all friendly minions to your hand.

  • fortyforty Registered User regular
    Yes Generous Mummy is the fucking Old Maid of Pharaoh Cat. It can easily be a game losing card. Some opponents can punish you ridiculously hard if you dare to play it.

    I absolutely hate getting one and having no other cards to play and agonizing over whether I think playing a 3 drop is going to make my opponent win the game.

    Second legend in a row! Almost a third of my last legend point score (19k instead of 56k).

    Considering i only played about 5 sessions i think i'm getting much better. (I can only stomach tryharding on ladder when the stars align).

    Deck was beaming sidekick demonhunter (and some highlander mage.) It's actually way more intricate than the priestess build and you get to think a lot. Sometimes you flood early and fight for it, sometimes you manage to stick a battlefiend onto a wide enemy board late game and combo into lethal with a fresh warglaives of azzinoth the next turn. And of course sometimes you just send whatever you have face and pray there's no answer.

    Lost my first bossfight and the second was just traumatic i think for the poor shaman:

    Oh, VS published a Wild report this weekend that I totally missed: https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/wild-vs-data-reaper-report-22/

    They've got Odd DH at the top of T1 by a pretty big margin, which is a surprise to me. Secret Mage is slightly favored against it though so I assume that's giving me some bias.

    Rest of T1 is Secret Mage, Pirate Warrior, Even Shaman, Odd Paladin, Cubelock, Reno Priest, and Odd Rogue, which is 8/10 classes with a deck in T1. Hunter and Druid don't show up until T3 with Reno Hunter, Spiteful Dragon Hunter, and Jade Druid.

Like full fucking Rivendare build with two Sneeds and a Ghastcoiler and the rest didn't fucking matter I got fucking hosed.

    Not to mention a lot of my runs lately have just been like, get absolute fucking crap from the start of the game up to the 7 gold turn, which like, ya can't reroll during those turns! So you just gotta go with whatever they give you! I guess you can reroll on the 7 gold turn, but then you can't up to 3 and you fall the fuck behind. And it's like, okay 5 gold turn and I have a token to sell and LITERALLY my options are Righteous Protector/Micro Machine/Red Whelp. The fuck.

    Or I have a run where I'm doing pretty decent, I've been getting good statted minions, and then I run into someone with a Triple Pogo and some shit from Tier 5 and I get fucking whopped. And it's like OKAY I GUESS THAT'S THAT THEN. No fucking way to play around that shit!

    The Kalecgos thing actually happened twice today. And I just threw my hands up and went "I'm done! I'm fucking done."

    Yeeeeeeeahhhh. Yeah.

    Yeah. BG is high rollers galore. And it’s the most fun mode on there. Another reason why I’m waiting for arena on IOS. Late 2020.

    Just go deryl and top 4 with T1 minions like every time. It’s both funny and effective.

    Well yeah, Deryl and deathwing are pretty much a guaranteed top 4.

  • fortyforty Registered User regular
    Eh, Deathwing not so much since the nerf. If you whiff on a Rat Pack you're often in trouble. There are other heroes with a better top 4 rate than DW.

    Not sure that’s true anymore. Grab the deathrattle beast and dance on divine shields. You can slowly level up when it’s free but generally it’s grab tokens, random deathrattles, and dance. Pretty easy and effective.

    I kinda hate mackerel and would be happy to see it gone since a lot of final matchups boil down to who gets luckier on mackerel RNG.

    Brawl this week is Cloneball, where you get a deck full of duplicate Legendaries and occasionally a spell that reduces the cost of one by 3.

    My turn 1 was spell, 2x 5/5 Mukklas.
    Their turn 1 was spell, 2x Zentimo, coin, double Banana to buff each to 3/5.
    My turn 2 was trading Mukklas into the Zentimos, Priest hero power heal one Mukkla,
    Their turn 2 was concede.

    Thanks for the pack!

    So I pulled Shield of Galakrond for Sandhoof Waterbearer in my Galakrond Priest deck and it's 10,000% better. It turns out Sandhoof has a better ETB (gain 5 life) one more point of power, and an upgraded version of Taunt where opponents will always kill it first.
