Made a dragon priest like deck. Got me out of the 13-15 ghetto down to the 9-10 rank fun so far.
I played against the weirdest dragon priest deck at rank 11 in wild. Double MC tech, mind control, friendly bartender, a few other weird inclusions. Could have been an ultra budget I guess but he had double drak op and twilight guardian.
Always hard to play around decks that contain random cards though.

Well, I mean, Dragonpriest is Budget(as in the only non-adventure legend is Ysera and even some decks don't run her) for Wild. When Dude Paladin runs 4~Legendaries (Tirion, Trueheart,Ragnaros, Tarim), Reno Priest runs at least 2(Kazakus and Sylvanas),etc, I think Dragon Priest is right up there with Pirate Warrior for "Budget Wild Decks"
I mean, the changes he added make little sense, but I can see someone not owning Karazhan and trying to make it work. Did they at least have Netherspite Historians?

Egg Druid if you want it to go fast.
I am going to get him a sixth time.So you could have still pulled him 5 separate times since u dust every time
He did use historians. And nefarian. That was what was so weird. It felt budget but I think it was just a bad deck because he built it poorly. He also had the healing guy that heals based on how many minions your opponent has.
I like that about wild. I lose to those kinds of decks all the time and just yell at the ridiculousness of it and have a pretty good time at it.

Matched up against a Quest Rogue.
Turn 1 Quest + Prep + Mimic Pod.
Turn 2 Swashburglar + Shadowstep + Swashburglar + Shadowstep + Swashburglar + Coin + Youthful Brewmaster
Again, I ask, how do you guys still play this trash?

If he doesn't have his second prep he has to wait until turn 5 to play the quest?
I'm finding it hard to rank up this month. Keep hanging around rank 18. Token shaman isn't doing it for me. I can never seem to get optimal draws and find it hard to punch through all the taunts and big minions out there.
I even keep losing to hunters. Devolve and maelstrom on curve isn't enough.

Said many times before here. You start getting dupes.

Why is C'Thun allowed back into my opponent's deck when my Shaman transformed it into a frog and destroyed it? C'Thun was removed from the game, it shouldn't return.
yeah, that doesn't seem right. what put it back into the deck, doomcaller?
Cthun still appears to be buffed after transformation. Did he actually play another one?

Oh man, almost to rank 1. I'm really pushing to get legendary this month for my first time, but the grind is real.
That shouldn't happen.

My favorite thing about C'thun is that it gets buffed even if it's not in your deck. In the tempo mage days I got a 9/9 C'thun when a druid mulched a minion

He never got the chance to play it again, but I noticed it was getting buffed up the very next turn when he played some minions.
If I turned it into a frog and destroyed it, Doomcaller shouldn't return it to the deck. I'm puzzled as to how it just showed up again the very next turn.
yeah, the c'thun buffs still take effect even if c'thun isn't in the deck anymore, so that c'thun synergy cards still work

That happens because you can still get it off of mulch or Atiesh
I overall don't get why Blizzard likes overstatted 1 drops with insane effects so much. Talk about snowballing.
they don't like it anymore, they already said not gonna print card like Tunnel Trogg again
Unfortunately Mana Wyrm still exist

so i totally skipped sir flnley in my egg druid , still went 15-5 recorded break to rank 5 tho, and was just as good on my mobile games, i guess it would've helped but egg still OP living mana is flat out nuts addition just wins every game against face warrior, hunters, and gives comeback. shit innervate + SR after a mana turn where they just avoid them to deny your pool completely wrecks games

is evolve spores that good? in some cases it beats SOTF but if you innervate SOTF out fast on a board full of cheap drops it just wins the game so consistently

What's worse? Cleric or Wyrm?
I doubt the majority of the playerbase even knows this is happening. The casual mobile users who play on the toilet or their lunch breaks.
Wyrm for me.
Cleric can die without doing anything or the opponent can kill him- or herself by going full Northshire. Harder to play around your opponent throwing spells at you though Wyrm can die without doing anything, too.

Generally Wyrm but for Paladin in particular NSC and that's my favourite class.
T1 Cleric have fun not playing anything for 3 turns.
Yeah but those players probably aren't the ones spending money to open packs.
Those are the players who collectively spend the most money.

I've been destroying priests with bright eyed ramp druid. Deck is so much fun.
It's great to pull off 13 armor earthen scales against aggro as well.

Ugh, I forgot about those. How long can this take? A month and a bit I reckon.
Is that substantiated somewhere? I'd love to read about it. Often with games like this your top 5% of players account for 50% or more of revenue.
i haven't bought into Un'Goro yet (other than gold), so i'm still planning on grabbing some when this extra packs promotion goes live. i assume that's the intended effect, haha
When does the promotion go live, anyway?
If you agree with me that the vast majority of the mobile audience is casual, and that the hardcore/whale playerbase is on desktop, it's clear that this is true.
The game has 70 million registered accounts. The casuals vastly outnumber the whales, so even though a whale might be spending 5k to get a fully golden collection, the hundreds of thousands of players spending a couple bucks on arena runs and buying packs now and then generate more revenue.
Hearthstone is estimated to make $43K/day from mobile users.

There aren't many games like this imo. I think you're quoting some shitty EA f2p game who think they figured out how f2p works well before anyone really figured out how f2p works.

Is the no duplicate cards out of packs change retroactive? Damn, I shouldn't have opened the last packs.
It doesn't start until the next exp release.
If you didn't get any duplicate legendaries recently then it makes no difference.

Well, joke's on me because I did! (The Marsh Queen) :<
I don't follow the Hearthstone meta or scene or w/e but why would they nerf wyrm when I rarely ever see mage at Ranks 8-12 at least, just a ton of druids. I don't even think mage would be remotely viable w/o wyrm.
wait what?? mages are on top of the meta, they are all over the place... or may be they are already higher...

Taunt Warriors everywhere. Why can't it be Pirate; at least the games are shorter.
Otherwise you just end up losing to RNG: two Brawls where the opponent keeps his one minion and you lose all of yours, and Rag always hitting the biggest minion you have.

"I don't follow the Hearthstone meta or scene or w/e" just going based off what I've been playing going from starting rank to 8 the past week or so
You can't buy pack bundles with coins. Unless you mean the new legendary rules, then yes definitely.
Just played a dragon reno mage at rank 9. The wild meta isn't usually this diverse at this rank. Nice to see.
