No it gives a pack on the first win unless there's something special going on.

Anyone been having any luck with a Big Mage list? Doesn't seem like it has any kind of win condition outside of some kind of Mask shenanigans which is very unlikely to have enough damage to work.

no but hero power mage is absolutely legit now that the mage hero no longer fucks with wildfire, and recasts ice barrier + mask of c'thun reliably

i just faced one that generated 5 ice barriers in a single game which was fairly frustrating

I'm 5-2 with this one at around diamond 10. Sometimes you get screwed with the wildfires but IMO they are worth it for the Mordresh as a finisher

edit: I actually changed the Book and Balinda for two Scorpids and it seems to be better.

I recall the wording implying the card back might be something from a previous year so maybe you had it already

Yeah it's the same cardback they've given out every time this brawl comes around, so if you've already got it you just get the pack.

If you stick composting on a wide board the deck is still somewhat resilient to a board wipe - definitely one of the aspects that puts the deck above lesser aggro decks.

heh this is what I was coming to post about.. I just destroyed someone in Wild tying to play Galakrond Rogue.. never played a single card after the quest reward, just took him from full health to 0 using Captain Rokara and the juggernaut randomly generated bs. The next person I queued into was playing priest and they resigned as soon as I played the quest :( now I feel like a degenerate and a bully.

They really ought to get rid of the quest in Wild, it's just as awful as the Demon Seed ever was in the format. Get rid of it and the cheater's APM mage cards and let the format breath a bit.

I'd add the Hunter quest to that for wild as well.

I still genuinely think ignite should increase in cost as well when it's shuffled. That'd kill the otk combo without a bunch more prep while still making it a great value engine.

In general though the game is in some dire need of more ways to influence spells in the opponents hand.
