So the "2 random golden legendaries" of the megabundle we'll get Barren goes live?

Yup.



9 legendaries unpacked here, which was a slightly above average haul. 1 was golden. Still got a bunch of gold and the class packs to break as well on release.

I ended up with 5, including a Golden Kergal and regular Samuro.

I ended up also getting a complete set of all legendaries + epics for Priest. Something that's been happening early in each expansion, it seems Blizzard is trying to tell me something.

Yeah, I had that happen too. Still don't want to actually play priest though!

Got 7 legendaries, one was golden. Didn’t get all of them I wanted but I pulled Tamsin which is nice. Hoping I can round out most of them from the legendaries I get when the set releases.

I got the non-merc Priest legendary. It actually looks like it might be fun to try a tempo priest deck out and I won't feel guilty now that Infiltrator and the Khartut guy are rotating out so it can he a tempo match instead of just throwing up a wall and resurrecting it.

I got this bug once, relog and try again

edit: the symptom I saw is if you queue a ranked match but can't see your own rank in the match, it's bugged and the match won't count

I'm pretty much just playing Classic mode to get achievements, but playing these decks is making me feel like a baller. I didn't realize just how many golden classic cards I've collected over the years. My decks are about 80% gold.

I've pretty much only played against Rogue, Druid, and Warlock in classic. I think they forgot to add Priest and Shaman.

Maybe something gets unlocked, but I thought all Classic cards were free? Is that not the case? Do those still have to be crafted?

Same here, most of the time. But there are a few decks that are irritating to play agaisnt, whether I win or lose. Mainly wild mill decks and resurrect priest decks, plus a few other custom ones. In general though, most games are fun.

I don't wanna scare you away from the game nor tempt you to the dark side but playing against Res Priest always sucks.

I'm enjoying the Duels changes and I can already see some of the new cards becoming staples. I'm seeing a lot of people trying the Ungoro quests but the only one which seems legitimately good is the new Rogue Connections (it adds a random 1-cost minion instead) with Ace in the Hole. Harvest Time Druid got hit hard with the banning of Tour Guide and Lightning Bloom, and the other Druid powers still don't seem great. Still seeing a lot of Discard Warlock.

Haven't managed to crack 12 wins in the new meta yet. I've gone 11-3 with Mage and just now with Shaman, and both decks were running Golden Kobold with Disks of Legend, which is fast becoming my favourite Duels deck. My Shaman deck even had the new passive which makes your Battlecry minions cost one less, but I got a bad draw on my final game against a Deathrattle Hunter. Might not have won anyway because he had the 1% chance Captured Flag which is just disgustingly good.

I think Mage, Hunter, and Warlock are probably doing best at the moment. Warlock is going to get a big boost in a couple of days when you can put this into your starting deck :



Duels decks start on 16 cards, so for your first few games that's a 6/6 Taunt on like turn 2-3.

edit : Speaking of Captured Flag, I just got it on a bad Paladin deck I was testing when I was 1-2. Ended on 3-3 but at least I learned that Humble Blessings overwrites it.

I think there's something broken with the new Barrens Quests, the 'It'll Take More Than That' quest says you need to be a Warrior but I just achieved the first level of it as Hunter.

It would be more suprising if there wasn't something broken with new content.

Yeah I got a bunch of progress towards some class specific quests when not playing those classes.

Someone told me to hold on to quests to save them for the new rewards track. I wasn't going to, but then I kept getting 900 xp quests, so I guess I will. Now to make sure i roll my xp over the last level of the rewards to get the 50g before the track resets.

I just checked and couldn't find anything conclusive, but does anyone know for sure if we should be hoarding quests for more XP or emptying them in case they give us special pack quests?

There's now a 4th quest slot which is reserved for special quests so you don't need to worry about that.

Wish I could buy Forged packs with gold before release, I'd love to get started with building decks I'll actually be able to use.

e: had a stupid deck idea for wild. Original C'thun Taunt Warrior. Otherwise a normal C'thun deck, but play that old 1/4 minion that gives C'thun Taunt, use Bulk Up to copy it and play 3 of them to close out games.

Lol if you play it as "just" a 5 mana 8/8 instead of getting a hit off Bulk Up and Feat of Strength (give a taunt minion in your hand +5/+5) for a 20/20 play that you then follow up with another 20/20 play next turn.

I mean, that has been happening since Darkmoon Faire started. I have had plenty of quests completed as the class it's not targeted for. Especially when playing Rogue and getting cards from your opponents class.

Yeah that's the case for quite a few quests but this one specifically says 'as a Warrior' as part of the achievement's text rather than just being put under Warrior in the achievement list.
