Edit: I've altered this slightly - dropped Patches, both eviscerates, added a toggwaggle's scheme and 2 scalehide. I am prepared.

Mulligan for Raiding party, that will complete Core. Shadowblade might be a swap for Self-sharpening - it's mostly there to cheapen Cutting Class for More Draw. (And I guess removal/extra face)

I've been playing Yogg DH for the last 2 days, and haven't gotten the rod of roasting once. It's been a lot of games, and yogg is really letting me down. Blur rotates and this deck dies.

It took me about 2 days of casually queuing up Blur Yogg DH on the side to finally get Roasting Rod. Must have been 25+ games. Sometimes RNG just hates you.

When I did finally get it Yogg blasted me in the face no less than 8 times before killing my opponent, which just goes to show what a bastard he is.

I have 20 classic packs unopened. I feel like at this point it's a battle of wills - I'll keep them for years until they offer an incremental improvement to average dust value over what they offer now.

Yeah, I managed to get it on my first try when playing ranked at the start of the month. But have just been trying to get the last hurrah for the deck before rotation. I see it only has a 5% chance, I thought it was higher. I knew it was less common, but not that low comparatively. I though maybe 10% v 18% not 5% v 19%.

You are a sucker for punishment. Playing that deck actually killed any desire I had to go achievement hunting afterwards and I definitely won't be going for any "last hurrahs" for bloody Yogg.

Mankrik is a Horde questgiver in the Barrens who asks you to find his wife, who is missing after they were both attacked by quillboars. In the days of vanilla WoW there was no indication where to search, and "where is Mankrik's wife?" became a Barrens chat meme. You eventually find her body and Mankrik becomes genocidally anti-quillboar

So for those speculating about the mini-set which came up last thread (guess this is spoilers), dataminers have found out that it will be the Wailing Caverns :toot:

Also I thought Neeru Fireblade worked by putting a repeating "Casts When Drawn" card into your deck. I've gone way down on it after finding out it just basically casts Warlock quest.

Edit: Also I have been seeing some disgusting stuff with Celestial Alignment :stare:

Zola and DK are going in for value.

I kind of want to keep one weapon in at least to make the Raiding Party even better? Hmm, wagglepick is a bounce... choice made!

I mean, not exactly since it fills your board, not just summoning 2. So if you play Neeru onto an empty board, you get a 5/5 and 5 3/2s. And then all the 3/2s you want. Feels much better than Nomi was, since you aren't as vulnerable to a single clear. I think there will be a deck that uses him well to finish off control v. control games, though I don't think that deck will necessarily try to rush to fatigue as soon as possible. Just put him in a Warlock control and use him as a finisher.

I could see him being really popular in something like Darkglare or Disco builds - just that last little whoomph of consistent pressure to get you over the finish line.

Hope you like generated cards and tons of card draw, basically.

Also Demon Hunter is the new "nerfed 5 times per expansion but is still somehow a dominant class", although that's seeming less likely with this upcoming set.

Things have gotten a bit insane lately. OTK decks that can put their combos together on turn 6. Rogue has effectively unlimited free card draw. At one point there was a Paladin deck with a 4 mana legendary that had a 80% win rate if you had the coin.

I've played Yogg a LOT during this expansion and have only ever seen Rod of Roasting twice, and both times it killed me. Definitely running out of time to get that achievement.

I've done almost all the achievements I can do with the cards I have, I'm currently working on the Bola Shot and Rod of Roasting ones with Spell Hunter in Wild. Also with Resizing Pouch on the off-chance I get Maxima Blastenheimer for that achievement.

Aside from the stuff in the OP, one of the bigger changes that they made was extending duplicate protection to cards of all rarities now. What that means is that when you open packs, you’re guaranteed to not get any repeats of common, rare, and epic cards until you’ve opened (or crafted) two copies of every card in that rarity.

It probably won't be themed on major cities, since those were taken for the e-sports Masters Tour names this year. Westfall/Deadmines sounds on point though.
