Yestermoment posted:Has anyone been having success with Libram Paladin? I've been running it in wild and I'm pretty sure i'm going to hit at least platinum 10. I don't even necessarily feel like it's a GOOD deck, but I've been able to deal with a fair amount of decks by just throwing, at a minimum, 2/2 recruits at things for board control.

Normally the single player stuff comes out sooner, it's been longer than normal probably due to the Corona virus

Promoted Pawn posted:Perhaps, but I don’t play BG that much now anyway since I’m terrible at it and can’t meaningfully push past 6K. The “feelbad” that would come with such a development would just be the thing that pushes me off the ledge I’m already teetering over. Kina makes me sad that even "professional" players like Kripp use 3rd party add ons in Battlegrounds and Arena. Deck trackers in the main game mode I also think are dubious.

Cant Ride A Bus posted:I know Maev Shadowsong is a staple in a lot of decks but i guess I don’t really understand what she does. Is she just a temporary 2-turn removal, or does making something dormant make its battlecry trigger again when it wakes up? Is it really a staple though? I rarely have it played against me and dont have it in any of my decks. It's certainly not a zilliax.

Quetzadilla posted:What's the optimal quest rerolling strat now? Seems like rerolling a 60 always gives a 50 which can then theoretically be rerolled again for something better but is unlikely, meanwhile it's taken 2 days to reroll it. Just do the loving quest. All the dicking around you do to try to only do 60 quests is not worth it. Play some games, make up the 10g in wins.

I'm sure they are very aware of the potential combo, just like they were aware of the potential for infinite fireballs when they made cards that let mages duplicate apprentices. The infinite lightning bolts is less likely

TyrantWD posted:Kripp and Kibler are the only two streamers who really fit in with the vibe of the reveal streams, can instantly talk about possibilities of a card immediately after seeing it, and can be counted on to be professional. I guess Trump could fit the bill, but he is barely a streamer these days, let alone a Hearthstone streamer. Allie is fine, but she can't just go off on a tangent theorycrafting. Only Kripp an Kibler is a bit of a stretch. Off the top of my head Regis Kilbin and Dekkster would be so much better than Kripp. Trump would be a disaster.

RatHat posted:Hosted a local Fireside gathering to open my packs, was easier than I thought it'd be. Got Golden Professor Slate(from my golden packs), Golden Jandice Barov(from regular packs), Star Student Selina, Speaker Gidra, Turalyon, Willow, Sphere of Sapiance, and Kel'thuzad. 8 legendaries in 90 packs is pretty good. I'll at least try out Jandice since I got her as golden. You get better legendary odds if you use the mouse and wiggle the pack first, then open the cards in a specific order

Jolly Jumbuck posted:Tried a Quest Druid deck with Runic Carvings, and it worked surprisingly well in the one game I played where I outvalued a priest. It turns out that if you play Runic Carvings on an empty board after you've activated the Osiran Tear, then you'll summon 4 regular treant totems and then 3 treant totems with rush. I thought it would be just 4 treant totems with rush based on the wording, but it's two separate effects. You get overloaded 2, I presume even if you have 3 or more minions on the board and can't summon any with rush... they should, in keeping with the spirit of optimizing Choose One cards to give you the effects in the best order, reverse this unless they remove overload if you don't put any rush ones on the board. I found a bug with runic carvings. I had the hunter side quest summon 3 rush minions off of a trick totem. Used runic carvings to summon totems with rush and they didn't trigger the quest. Normally rush minions from spells work for that side quest.

Julio Cruz posted:honestly Duels should be right up my alley as a insane super-random-fest but I'm not too wild about having to pay per game, hopefully the rewards are reasonable enough I would expect the Duel rewards to be the same as Arena, given that they share tickets and it's the same play until you win 12 times or lose 3 times.

If so, that's pretty smart/funny. Otherwise why not release it with the revamped system if you already know what the revamp is going to be?? What? I cannot understand what you are trying to say, it makes no sense. There is a date for the progression and rewards revamp because that is the date it goes live.

Fenarisk posted:A good video on just how bad the new reward system is/how much more expensive HS got this expansion. Absolutely agree with every point in this video and if they don't change anything by the time the mid expansion cards drop, I'm definitely through with it. Giving Blizz the benefit of the doubt, maybe there is something screwy with the code that assigns XP for playing the game? Even a cynically designed uber grindy battlepass thing wouldn't be set up to award like 100xp an hour. But then also Blizzard.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Ah, well, one thing I *have* noticed that never used to be the case a year or more ago is that golden legendaries don't preclude you from getting a non-gold copy of said legendary, so buying packs when you have ~just one more~ doesn't mean you're guaranteed that one last legendary you need, you'll likely end up with a non-gold copy of a golden legendary you already have. Leave it to Blizzard to make those gifted golden legendaries in the pre-order packs a liability.

AnacondaHL posted:Huge rewards track update post: They all look like good changes to me. Annoying they didn't mention xp gain for anything out of quests though. There is still nothing at all in game that shows how much xp you get after playing a game, so it feels like you are earning nothing. I would bet a large chunk of people simply stop playing as soon as they have no active quests.

Olpainless posted:If you've got a deck that can survive it (and it's possible in a few ways - it only deals 60 damage so you CAN armour beyond it, Evasion neuters it completely, minion destruction effects such as Convincing Infiltrator can possibly kill the tiller, Ice Block stops it but leaves you very precarious) then quit and reload. I really can't believe that something as simple as "Start turn timer for player at the point their turn starts" is still a problem and/or low priority for them to fix

Orange Crush Rush posted:Annnnd that's Legendary with Duel Paladin. Honestly as long as you can avoid the Tickitus Warlock matchup it felt pretty loving great. yeah duel paladin feels really good again. I've experimented with slotting in Keymaster Alabaster - it's a bit greedy, but it has the health to survive like most of the big boys so is fine however it is pulled from the deck, and if you do manage to get it to stick it can produce some hilarious results. Has the added bonus of a thing your opponent HAS to remove ASAP, so can force them to make some suboptimal plays and normal minion stall tactics like freeze or taunts don't work.

World War Mammories posted:the divisions are bronze > silver > gold > platinum > diamond > legend. no clue on the population of each You can't lose ranks in bronze, so as long as you get some wins you will always make it to silver. So for active players it would probably be lowest bronze, highest silver, then decreasing populations through the other ranks.
