I don't really want it to happen but Quillboars might need an adjustment. This wasn't even that strong of a board but both the 2nd and 3rd place people conceded immediately after playing one round against me.

What do you all figure is going to be buffed? Caravans, maybe?

Stat buffs on DH Deathrattle minions, Mage minions, Tavish and related Hunter beasts, and Shaman Elementals.

Buffs are harder to predict because of how open-ended the solutions can be, especially since the designers know what the incoming mini-set has and have to buff with that perspective.

Darkmoon Races miniset is leaving the store tomorrow. It's an extremely good deal for the gold if you haven't gotten it yet.

I could see them giving +1 attack to all of the caravans to make them vanilla stats at least and then some random buffs to shaman, zoolock, midrange hunter. Zoo in particular has huge gaps in its discard and deathrattle packages that can't be fixed with buffs, though. Hopefully the miniset is coming shortly.

I wonder if they will do any buffs for the Warrior Frenzy deck, since outside of Samuro and sometimes the Stonemaul Anchorman, frenzy isn't really seen in Warrior despite it being the one with the most frenzy cards/support. Probably gonna need new minions to make it good though, so I guess it'll more for the miniset.

Last time they did a buff patch they buffed two cards from every class, so if they're buffing 10 cards this time they're probably buffing one card from every class.

I’d think that what the caravans need is 1 extra health, to make it easier for them to survive the turn. But that makes them too sticky, same as watchtowers.

Last time they buffed cards, two of them had to be re-nerfed pretty much immediately so I’m not expecting grand things here.

If you have 50% woman representation, you either have the same number of women and men in each bracket (good) or you have brackets which are mostly men, and brackets which are mostly women (less good)

Good on Blizzard for having more than 50% women in the event

If you're being pigheaded yes but putting Luna in the one group with 3 women is weird. Put Luna in one of the groups with 2 males and 2 females, don't make her group be the exception.

Briarback team is stacked anyways, both with the best overall players and the biggest personalities/streamers.

Not that it matters much anyways in the current Quillboar-or-bust meta.

I would take Victor/Hapa over Collins/Alyssa by a slim margin and I think RDU/Sjow is a push. The other 2 teams are way behind, though.

[Wild] vS Data Reaper Report #27
https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/wild-vs-data-reaper-report-27/

quote:

We finalize with the most surprising result of the report, which will likely come at odds with current perception. APM Mage is one of the two most popular decks in the format, yet the power level of the deck isn’t looking too great. A polarized matchup spread in combination with the widespread use of strong disruption tools has seen APM Mage’s win rate dip drastically from when it initially burst onto the wild scene. Its oppressive matchup against Secret Mage is simply far too devastating for it to display a consistently strong ladder performance.

If they put Luna in another bracket where it was with one other woman it would show that Blizz is recognizing Luna as a woman. By putting her in a bracket with two other women it can be interpreted that they're treating Luna as a male competitor.

I don't think the Full Stats screen shows her transformed; I did reroll enough times to get her upgrade (I hope obviously though having seen some of the extreme high rolls in the past few days I wouldn't completely be sure).

Blacksmith is really swingy though and blood gems can kind of make it worse. It was kind of a god roll but I went Sun Bacon->upgrade->Toki hero power the other day in a game and had a 4/6 Blacksmith on turn 2 and just rolled poo poo from there. It's also a nasty early Reno hero power target in my experience

Well, made legend this month now exclusively playing Kiblers deck destruction Warlock deck. Only change I made to the deck was slotting in an ooze in place of free admission. Not sure if thats truly better or not, but the ooze helps a lot against paladin, helps moderately against warrior and control lock and allows you to not get blown out by the occasional weapon rogue. Its also 2 mana so easy to just dump out of hand whenever. I found the free admission was rarely being played and often clogging up my hand.

Had a just over 60% win rate from D5 to Legend. Was sitting at about 70% until I hit D1 and the grind from D1 to legend was pretty hard. Deck is super fun though and I really recommend it if you like piloting a deck that requires frequent and impactful decision making.

I'm very happy that APM Mage is apparently 'out' in Wild after being 'in' for like two weeks because it was making my weekly quests take longer. Welcome back, Secret Mage.

I got WRECKED by it and added the guy to tell him gg and ask for the list and then because HS chat sucks and doesn't allow copying and pasting like holy poo poo wtf I had to screenshot that poo poo and then translate all of it from Portuguese to English and also learn some basic Portuguese because it's polite as gently caress. I then swapped Vectus out and stuffed in Mankrik because I love me some multiple Mankriks. And then I completely forgot about it because I did this all while drunk.

tip: if you need to get codes from friends in client:
1) have them send only the code because otherwise it will get cut off by the message limit and
2) use the battle.net interface and open the specific chat window with that friend, so that you can highlight the code for copy/paste.

I always forget that the battle.net chat interface exists I just auto-close it after I hit play. I am sometimes bad at life. At least I learned some Portuguese so I'll call it a win.
