I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

Nah I got Archwitch Willow.

Oh okay.

I got a legit legendary from the first four packs I opened. Star Student Stelina. This is the first expansion I've been present for in like...years. Its kinda nice.

Edit: another five packs or so and I got Gandling too. Am I just lucky?

Few more packs and I got Maliciia!

opened 10 packs and got Polkelt, a Survival of the Fittest and a Guardian Animals so I guess I'm making Big Beast Druid first up

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
160 normal packs - 10 legendaries, including my first double legendary pack. First time I've been below the 1:20 threshold, but on the other hand, I got none of the legendaries I want.

Kelthuzad
Shando
Omu
Golden Rattlegore
Vectus
Turalyon
Jandice Barov
Archwitch Willow
Soulciologist Malicia
Infiltrator Lillian

Got Selina as my log in legendary, and Golden Professor Slate as my preorder bonus.

From the 5 golden packs, I got a Krastinov.

"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"
No double legendary packs for me (yet), and I had a wicked flirtation with the pity timer between two legendary pulls. I still wonder if the brawl pack this week had a legendary in it to slightly screw over pull chances for the expansion.

Out of 135 regular and five golden packs:

(129) Ace Hunter Kreen
(105) Doctor Krastinov
(84) Jandice Barov
(72) Star Student Stelina
(37) Ras Frostwhipser (serious pity timer flirtation)
(19) Turalyon, the Tenured
(14) Soulciologist Malicia
(6) Infiltrator Lillian

Golden packs were a bust, 2x Epic, 5 Rare, the rest Commons

Login Legendary was Forest Warden Omu, and Golden Legendaries were Headmaster Kelthuzad (yay) and Keymaster Alabaster

And for some reason on my Chromebook I can't buy more packs with gold - I double click, get the box, enter "50" and when I click "Okay" nothing happens. At least it doesn't take away the gold. :shrug:

I got *most* of the Epics, and I have the dust to craft whatever legendaries I don't have right now, but there's no need since I plan on buying packs with gold...once it LETS me. -_-

Big Coffin Hunter
Aug 13, 2005

In 42 packs I got Star Student Stelina, Rattlegore, Keymaster Alabaster, Headmaster Kel'Thuzad, and a golden Ace Hunter Kreen. This plus two Flesh Giants and Void Drinkers as the epics that got me most excited. Right now I'm running a Giant zoolock deck that seems to be doing well. Void Drinker has lead to some early concedes. That being said I'm liking that Warrior/Rogue removal card. If Warlock is strong and Weapon Rogue is as powerful as it looks like it can be I'll be happy running with my two favorite classes. Also looks like my pulls want me to go Demon Hunter but... ugh

First off: Flavor text has officially peaked with Loremaster Polkelt

Wow, this was a good haul. From preorder I'd gotten 5 legendaries, including a golden Gandling from the 5 golden packs.

Today, for the mega bundle reward got Golden Vectus, with Soulciologist Malicia as the freebie. I got several of the legendaries I was hoping for, including Fireheart, Omu, Polkelt (golden) and Krastinov. Also got a bunch of epics plus Alabaster, and the griefing cards Stelina and Illucia.

Right now I'm only running Illucia because I unpacked her but she's probably just a tech card depending on the meta. I'm considering adding Soulbound Ashtongue (1m 1/4 that deals damage to yourself) and maybe some AoE.

Bulwark continues to impress. Seriously; that card easily saves like 12-20 damage every time I've played it. For 3 mana it's an incredible stall tool.

e: I tried running Lord Barov, but swapped him out for Whirlwind. Pulling him with Commencement or Ripper feels insanely bad, and playing him is awkward. Whirlwind gets the job done.

Basically anything you do with Vargoth is crazy value. If he's in your hand you can Vargoth + Athletic Studies for a 2 mana discounted rush minion next turn (one of which you picked). Shield Block, Boom Squad, Bladestorm, even Sword and Board is good. And, of course, pulling him with Commencement or Dimensional Ripper is nutty.

Pen Flinger seems like a sleeper. Extremely flexible card. I was playing face hunter against murloc shaman and used it for board control. They conceded turn 3.

Yeah I already hate it

Could easily see it getting nerfed to 2 mana, it just feels way too easy to get 2 of those on board and return to hand with cheap spells over and over to kill any low-health minions at will. Of course maybe I just got unlucky, too early to tell.
