Won the meme lottery.

Azalina Soulthief
Darius Crowley
Countess Ashmore
Duskfallen Aviana
Glinda Crowskin
Splintergraft
Toki

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The premade Warlock deck that uses Glinda is bad but I won a couple games with it. Didn't get the combo off in a single one, though.

Even totem Shaman is great at getting a full board of minions to stick but it sucks that it's so hard to snowball it. All the good snowball cards are odd.

Boy is that true. I'm messing with Genn Shaman in wild right now and it's pretty hard to capitalize on your massive boards. Hagatha + Ghost Light Angler is still a big surprise as a mode swap/refill, and I think I'm juggling totem, murloc, and jade synergies decently well.

Anyone else disappointed that all odd/even decks became are aggro decks?

One of these days we'll actually get a slow meta with more than 1 or 2 viable control decks.

Last meta was pretty slow.

Cubelock is the greediest successful deck in the history of hearthstone. It runs umbra and prince 3 for goodness sake. Their control cards are just so insane that they get away with it.

Facing cubelock is basically knowing exactly what youre going against and knowing which cards will be played next, and not being able to do anything about it.

Its great.

Alright I'll give up to this dude. Playing aggroish Paladin but with the Sound the Bells, Bellringer Sentry, Prince Liam and Witch's Cauldron of all things. That's the kind of stuff that keeps the game fun.

Yeah but that deck is successful because of the amount of unfair shit it can do. When you can cheat out such ridiculous minions and such little cost it's bound to be insane. Not to mention turning around and resummoning them.

I don't understand... you want a slow deck that is tier 1 but doesn't do anything unfair.....

I mean, yeah. That's essentially what old school control Warrior was.

Edit: I wouldn't even mine Cubelock if it was toned down to a reasonable level. It's not just there right now.

I think maybe on a certain level this game has just passed me by. I liked the minion based value trading that Hearthstone used to be about. Now it's either you play a deck and rush face or you stall long enough to bull off some bullshit. I feel like most everything in between has been phased out now.

Dude, you have to try out Zap! if you have it. It's so damn good in a tempo deck like this. It's a common too.

I had forgotten about Bonemare after dusting it and not looking back. Does sound potentially good.

This is what I'm running:

Getting an opponent's death knight with burgle rogue and playing all the rogue cards you played that game with Tess is real dumb.

Just a friendly reminder not to get too excited about winning with any deck at the moment...so many unoptimized decks at the moment you can win with anything.

garrison commander does work, and dark conviction turn 2 on a recruit is pretty dope.

Definitely think minion elemental Mage is going to be a really good deck. I'm running it with Toki and Sindragosa and still just demolishing people. 6-8 cards in hand for the vast majority of the game even while playing stuff on board.

Shudderwock was one of my 70 pack legendaries.

Look, not only is it OP, it's also incredibly boring to play and to play against. It's the most non-interactive, slow, stupid card I've ever seen in Hearthstone. The thing needs to be nerfed with a nuclear wiffle bat and it needs to be nerfed tonight: not tomorrow and not a month from now. It makes a game that was already languishing design-wise and growing more boring to play month by month (hence the avalanche of free stuff, improved quest gold, 20 bonus packs on Blizzard's part to pull people back in) even more irritating and boring to play.

Fix it, Bliz.

Shudderwock the card is OP but I think the deck will be pretty meh.

Even selling out hard against aggro it can get run over easily. The issue is just that any deck that tries to play the super long game is going to get screwed over by Shudderwock. Reminds me of old Freeze Mage but worse.

I don't think shaman deck is any good actually it's just that it breaks the game when it works.

Odd paly seems like the strongest deck so far. The hero power is absurd.

This deck sucks but I'm 7-0 with it because people have no idea what to do against it. I fully admit its a terrible deck, but its entertaining me.

It's not anymore-or-less interactive than:

- Freeze Mage
- Aggro Hunter
- Quest Warrior
- Tank Up Warrior
- Cubelock
- Aggro Pally

A change probably will come, but this ain't nothing new.

Shudderwock costing 9 basically says to me it won't ever completely dominate

When was the last time a 9 or 10 cost Legendary win condition was a thing without being able to cheat it our or using mana acceleration? Aggro will inevitably win more than lose.

e: oh yeah Yogg lol

I checked my pack opening video, and I got my 8th or 9th legendaries including free one on my 64th pack. That's 1 in 8!

Decks like Cubelock may be irritating to play against, but at least you do something while you watch yourself slowly lose.

Sitting there while Grumble and Shudderwock go off over and over and over is the absolute height of non-interactivity in this game.

Are you including the free one? You should be GUARANTEED 3 legendaries with free plus 60 packs, so I would contact Blizzard support.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Nah, that was just the count from the packs. Three total including the free one. There were 35+ packs between the first and the second though, which seemed insane. I thought maybe there was distribution bug a la when Gadgetzan came out, but it doesn't seem like anyone else is having issues. It's the worst haul I've had for an expansion so far, which sucks, but I have enough dust to craft whatever.

Edit: By 'free one' you mean the one you get for logging in right?

Nope, first 10 packs of a new expansion is one legendary, another 40 packs gives you another, plus the free one to start with.
Click to expand...

I know, and I told you about it few days ago, and he said he got 2 from 61-ish pack, he probably didn't include the free one.

1-40 = 2 legendary
41-80 = 1 legendary

He needs to open 20 more to get another 1

Only played a handful of games but yeah, Elemental Minion mage is a solid deck! A nice deck after some Big Spell Mage key cards moved to Wild. I'm happy so far, but more tweaking ahead :)
