3 more at least, unless they reveal the whole thing with the fifth member...
may be we will know on wednesday? thursday?
How do some of you get beyond rank 5 every month, I can't believe how brutal it is without the win streak bonuses =/
that's why i usually don't push too much past that rank. It's so tough. I once got to rank 1 back in sometime like june of last year and couldn't make it to legend because of all the time it took me to get to rank 1 in the first place.
I should work on standard instead of going in circles in wild
4 and 5 are pretty easy in my opinion, since everyone is fucking around. 6 can be a real bitch sometimes. But yeah, rank 3 to 1 is tough. I need to be playing a deck I actually enjoy and has a good matchup spread if I want to play anything higher than rank 3. For me it's mostly just about farming whatever is popular at those ranks. If you can figure that out, then you can't climb a lot easier.
The highest I ever got was 6 or 7 and that was back when I first started playing. Now, I generally get to 10 and just stop caring. I mainly just play for the gold portrait now. Like I have golden Hunter, so I haven't been playing one of the strongest classes this meta.
Rank 13. Wiibomb has been coaching... but I'm a slow learner.
I am really digging this expansion theme of famous Hearthstone villains. Seems like we'll get Dr. Boom and the full reveal announcement tomorrow. I really hope so, because a full week of near identical teasers is dragging.

I think it's somewhat interesting. I wonder if Blizzard will have new cards based on each of these or maybe some gang similar to Gadgetzan.
They're trying to set up some kind of story, which could pay off.

The expansions of the Year of the Dragon are narratively connected with a big overarching story, so it better pay off :P
it is actually interesting, but this clearly needs a lot more meat than just showing a portrait. I bet the 5 neutral legendary cards this time are these 5 characters.
what i hope is that they continue building into the story in the next months after the release of the expansion, then leading to the new one on june-july.
I mean, current Hagatha and Dr. Boom cards aren't rotating out, so I don't understand why this expansion is focusing on these characters. Are we going to have two different Hagatha cards available to Shamans, two Dr. Boom cards available to Warriors, etc.?
Not too pumped about this expansion so far and it's seeming lack of a theme...

I like this theme of iconic bad.guys so far. I hope we get something new though. What's left? The demon at the end of Karazhan?
It'll be cool to start with a league of bad guys causing chaos, then an expansion of good guys, then the final confrontation as 3rd.

going by iconinc guys I feel like we might see Rafaam as the fifth
EDIT: also it is worth noting that Dr Boom isn't necesarily from the Boomsday project era, it also represents the GvG era, which means these villains are actually 1 from each years of HS???
that's hearthstone at its core... the only real serious sets of the expansion were KFT and may be, WotOG, the rest is goofy. That's the idea of the game
Yes, and I'm not saying they need to leave it behind, but dig a little deeper. Get more interesting with how the game presents itself to the player. Like everything else with HS it needs to evolve, even if it's just little.
and that's the idea of this year, hopefuly they really mean it and get deeper with the overarching story of the 3 expansions of this year.
I'm actually curious about how they plan to do it.
I expect this expansion to be about the villains of Hearthstone and the next to be about the heroes, then finally the last expansion where they clash.
How were you surviving 10 damage a turn?
I always like beating them too though, especially with Control Priest.
I was playing Druid as well, so armor wasn't an issue. At some point he got me down to ~15 health, so I dropped the 8 mana 2/14 taunt to stall some more turns (high enough health to not die, low attack to not have Mecha'Thun die). He died to fatigue in the end.
err you cant kill the mechathun when he tempoed it like that?
I'm not sure what you mean?
He naturalized that minion I left alive, so he had only Mecha'Thun eventually. He had no cards in hand and in his deck, so if I played more minions/killed him of I would've 100% lost.
I guess I was a bit vague, situation was like this. He had a Wild Pyromancer on board and Mecha'Thun, Innervate and Naturalize in hand (combo). I killed my Tar Creeper (spellstone), Lich King (Naturalize) and other minion (That destroy a minion, take that much damage spell I got from Lich King), so that he couldn't kill his Pyromancer by trading.
He opted to play his Mecha'Thun, Innervate and Naturalize his Wild Pyromancer (honestly not sure if he could've naturalized his Mecha'thun there, what is the interaction?), so he had only Mecha'Thun. I stalled with armor and the taunt minion in the end, he died to fatigue.
Usually they just tempoed the cthun and save their card in that spot tho your opp maybe made correct play tho. Although he surely could manage his resource better if he only 1 hp off from killing his pyro to win lol
He definitely messed up with his resources, I'm just happy I saw the play with killing off my own board lol.
Looks like we'll be waiting for the announcement a bit longer (leak through battle.net):
Fifth member is leaked to be Rafaam, after Dr. Boom being the fourth. Assuming both will get a teaser video, maybe announcement on thursday, depending on the frequency they put these out.
I KNEW IT...
this means that the 5 members are for each year of HS... very interesting.
and yeah, I knew we were going to wait until thrday at least, they want to show all characters before making the reveal, which... is dissapointing, this is dragging too much.

hell yeah, that leak makes me more excited. though my fingers are crossed that today is actually the full reveal, and they reveal both at once or something. this is dragging.
I hope you're all excited for the new "Wylde" expansion, which allows you to play using cards from all different years of Hearthstone. Imagine the possibilities when you get to play the cards you've seen before, again!
I wonder if all these teasers will actually be cards or if it'll be purely for the singleplayer content. I can't imagine having 2 Hagatha, 2 Togwaggle, 2 Booms in standard at the same time.
Nice sarcasm, but I would be very hyped to see a system like they announced for Arena, but for Ranked. More aggressive and frequent rotations while keeping Standard pure.
On this note, I think this is actually a healthy idea for a limited format like Arena. I liked the sound of the changes they announced, which is kind of like MTG Arena handles it -- every week or two they change up what set the limited format (Arena equivalent) pulls from, so it doesn't get stale.
No teaser today. This is silly.
It'll be even worse if we go into the usual "2 week of no cards" waiting period after the announcement. I really hope that doesn't happen again.

How do we know there's no teaser? Just that the others were posted by this time of day already? That'd be disappointing.
