Board 8 > Hearthstone Discussion Topic: Thrall vs. Morgl, the endless cycle

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hey, in my free Old Gods pack I got for voting for whatever that tournament was, I opened Deathwing 2.0. I guess that kind of makes up for double pity timer in Mean Streets.

This was pretty great, start to finish:

Nothing like gaining a few ranks on a nice winning streak only to lose most of those stars back after getting salty over a bad game. Went from nearly getting to Rank 5 to 4 stars at Rank 7.

Also, the Rogue quest looks interesting.

Toast is such a showman. I love him.

The "shhh" to the camera when he drew the Sacrificial Pact was beautiful.

I was honestly just about to post this. Pretty damn amazing.

That ending though. noooooooooooooooooo :(

Personally I'm in favor of any scene that merits the epic sax guy music, so that double gadgetzan pull was just about as awesome to me.

Really would have liked to know how he'd have done on the final day. Alas.

Just stole an arena game that went into double fatigue that I had no business winning. Last card in my deck was Courier, which gave me Kazakus, which gave me 10 armor that saved me from eventually losing to fatigue and the six damage board clear against a Kraken and The Beast, which I was only able to clear because the only other card in my hand was Arcane Explosion.

Hunter quest looks pretty good!

Play 7 1 drops, get an 8/8 that shuffles 15 raptors

Those raptors are 1 mana 3/2s that draw a card
---

Tundra Rhino into 5 raptors seems like a pretty good play.
---

Well I guess there goes any hope of aggro slowing down this set....
---

Kind of sucks Living Mana gives you empty mana crystals.

Timber Wolves might be even better. But yeah we are back to Patron days yay

Eh that isn't going to kill you by turn 5 or 6. Also Baron Geddon solos those raptors quite nicely

Living Mana seems like incredible garbage.

I like the concept, but unless the death rattle is protected from being wiped by polymorph, silences, and devolve it is pretty game losing for not even that strong of an effect.

I think I experienced all of the Hearthstone emotions over the last three hours.

I started the day with a goal of reaching Rank 5, at Rank 6 no stars. I won two quick games with Dragon Priest, then lost 5 straight. In an incredible fit of saltiness, I switched over to Renolock to counter the significant amount of Dragon Priests I was seeing, only to lose a couple more games, including one against the only Dragon Priest I came across.

Even more outraged, I switched over to Jade Druid, but after 3-4 games I wasn't really climbing. At that point, I said f*** it, and netdecked a Pirate Warrior deck. I then spent the next 45 minutes climbing from Rank 7 with 1 star, to Rank 5 with 2 stars, only losing twice during the process. I am no longer salty.

I don't even feel bad. This game infuriates me sometimes.

I had quests for playing secrets and Hunter cards, as well as the friend quest, so I built this thing to just play them as fast as possible and move on.

Damned if I didn't go 3-0 with it to finish the quests.

I have the challenge a friend quest

I still have the quest as well if anyone is going to be on later tonight. Not going to be playing at least for a few hours, going to watch the Ducks with my Dad and hope it's a good game.

A thought.

If you finish the hunter quest and get out rhino, you can pretty much pull a MONSTER CARDO moment.

How does it win? I don't even see a damage source.

Hunter hero power does 2 damage

It wins by playing Huntress on turn 4 into an empty hand, and then going face with all of your stupid little minions that only exist to draw more secrets for a handful of turns while your opponent doesn't have any board clear and plays into your full tree of secrets. To be fair, two of the games were against Rogues that never drew FoK.

I finished the secret quest in the first game, then decided to just roll with it for the Hunter quest rather than changing anything. It's surprising how long some people will do nothing, until they can play into your secrets optimally, while you just ping away at their face with steady shot and an army of peons.

I've been known to do this as long as I had the board. But often that's because I have a bunch of 1- and 2-health minions and strongly suspect explosive trap.

Sure, if I have low health minions and the Hunter plays a trap, I might pass suspecting Explosive. Or if I have one minion I really can't afford to replay and the opponent is killing everything but that, telegraphing a Freeze. Those are entirely different situations compared to what my opponents were facing.

I'm really tired of seeing Warrior cards interacting with damaged minions. If they're going to keep making that a thing I would appreciate Whirlwind going the way of the other 1 mana spells here soon.

So some of the new Hunter cards show some promise

a 1 mana 2/1 that shuffles a 4/3 on death and a 3 mana 3/3 that triggers a deathrattle

So basically a better Huhuran for Hunter's ridiculously stacked 3 mana slot and a decent top deck for later in the game (The 4/3 is 1 mana from what I heard)
---

Well there's also the new 5 mana 3/5 that draws 2 1-cost minions from your deck. So if you haven't managed to find your 1 mana 4/3s yet you'll have a pretty good chance to draw them and reload.
---

I think the Raptor Hatchling sounds good. It's a problem lately of 1 drops being too powerful, while this card seems good but not necessarily being super strong turn 1 to deal with.

Mike Donais said there's gonna be two good hunter 1 drops so I'm curious what the other will be.

1 mana 1/3 gain attack equal to the attack of each beast you play

So Un'Goro is confirmed for the 6th?
---

I swear you could remove all Mage class cards in arena and you would still face 50% Mages.
---

one o' y'all needs to log in so I can do my spectate quest.

I would have helped you if I saw this earlier, I was playing on Europe.
---

I've been historically bad at winning games when someone is spectating me for their quest. I've even gone into Casual with a top deck at points just to get it over with and still sometimes lose 3 or 4 in a row.

It gets pretty awkward.
---

If you're just trying to get a spectate quest done and can't seem to win against people, you can spectate against bots.
---

I want to create a stupid meme deck with Hemet 2 so much. I want to coin and double Innervate into him on turn 1 and then destroy my entire deck.
---

Ramp Druid might actually want Hemet, but I don't think anything else does. Looking forward to all the meme decks though.
---

Paladin Quest finally revealed

Cast 6 spells on your minions.


That seems... really easy to do with a specific deck. I wonder if the hand buff spells count for that?
---

Welp, seeing the Paladin quest, looks like my favourite class is going to be unplayable for yet another expansion.
---

Trying to finish a 5 win Priest quest today playing Dragon Priest. Six games in and I'm just now realizing that I'm playing a standard deck in wild.

If anyone needs 80g, I've got the quest and I'm on anyway.

Edit: Post here if you want to play, those rascally playful sprites close the game for me if I'm idle for ten minutes or so.

Go to wild and curve Muster for Battle into that Dino that adapts recruits. That card is incredible "pls don't ignore wild" bait for sure.
---

Everyone is looking at how the new stuff can work in Wild, and I'm just here excited to reap in the dust after I disenchant every card that is rotating out of Standard.
---

I think your "whelp, im commited to standard, i have to dust every wild card forever" philosophy is really silly

I never bought Nax, and only had about two packs worth of GvG cards, so I always had a disadvantage before Standard/Wild got introduced. It wasn't until that first rotation that I had any chance of being competitive because of my lack of cards.

I'll always have the Wild disadvantage because of that, so rather than try to have subpar decks, I'd rather commit to Standard. I have no interest in Wild anyway. Even if I had a full collection, I don't think I'd ever play, because it doesn't matter at any level at this point.

I could keep the cards, but I'd prefer to get the 10k dust and be able to craft new cards so that I don't need to spend any money on packs.
---

I mean, I'll use wild for either top tier cards (Reno/Sylv are staying obviously) or just general memes (Might keep some that would do that, though I don't have Astral Druid or Aviana/Kun)
---

but then you repeatedly say "oh that sounds like a cool wild idea, but too bad i dusted all my wild cards when i committed to standard! guess i have to keep doing that now!"

it's a pretty big sunk cost fallacy
