I think even in Eternal you choose which card you want to discard. I've seen it when my hand got too full and I thought that was such a nice feature. too bad that game has mana screw/flooding it would be such an awesome CCG if you could actually play yer cards lol (to be fair I haven't played it since release)

PO gave warlock the reach to close out games it was falling behind in.
They already have a bunch of taunts and can play the 1/2 pirate to combat weapons.

If it makes you feel better, I put off crafting him for a long time because he's a low-impact legendary. But I've never regretted the craft.
Between Burn Mage and Secret Mage, I have to wonder, which deck is better for laddering?
In one hand secret mage can win games really fast, and with the perfect curve it can snowball almost any deck really fast, but in the other hand if you don't have a good curve at the beggining, you don't have that many comeback mechanics, unlike burn mage which has a worse start but its late game is stronger.
At least I'm changing between them when I'm having a lose streak

Their winrates are pretty similar. Just go with whichever one fits your playstyle.

I still get worried when I have lethal that they might drop Reno.
I finally crafted him because I was tired of not rolling the spell damage totem.
I always like playing secrets because there's no better feeling in a card game than completely anticipating your opponent's next move and shutting them down completely. You feel like a damn genius when you Counterspell somebody's quest reward or Snipe somebody's Finja, even if it didn't actually take that much intelligence to set up the play.

Isn't finja a terrible hit?
NVM you meant polymorph quest.

So fight promoter promoting hct?
No idea. Clearly the fight promoter isn't that great at promoting whatever fight needs promoting.

Well I finally got a second ungoro legendary, Tyrantus. Took close to 40 packs like my first one. He doesn't seem great so to console myself I did a dumb thing and murdered my dust stock crafting Lightlord. Reading this page reminded me I still haven't made Thalnos. Need to get on that.
Been working slowly but surely on the Un'goro blast video. I'm still probably a month out from releasing it and doing the re-review stream, but oh man. This video is going to be hard to cut down. I've got Amaz and Trump down for 19 and 20 possible blasts, respectively. It's gonna be a bloodbath. I think this is the worst the streamers have ever done, for any release.
Our first couple of reviews were kind of rough. I think we had something like 8-10 blasts each in TGT or something, but we got better over time. But we weren't working off the same system so I'm not really sure.
But this set, from a streamer POV for sure, just had some really bad picks. The Marsh Queen, Lakkari Sacrifice, and Open the Waygate are arguably the most overrated cards in the history of the game. Lots of stremers giving them 5 stars or calling them some of the best cards in the set. Truth comes out and they're actually some of the worst cards in the set.

Okay, that was the first time in like 10 tries that a mage pulled off the quest Antonidas combo, but damn if it still isn't bullshit. I had him at 1 health with 30 damage on board for 4 or 5 turns, but what are you gonna do. The guy was running every random spell generation card under the sun, so I guess getting lucky ice blocks was his game plan.
Fun AND interactive.
A good fix for Ice block could be "when you take lethal damage, gain 20 armor for this turn." So a massive board would still just kill them. Or just retire the damn thing, it had a good run.

My predictions were spot on and I'll never forget arguing over quest rogue. I was told the deck loses to everything, including shitty fatigue decks.
Did you rate on the GAF spreadsheet? I don't see you on there.
The one I had with Zealous is not that bad overall. I thought I had Quest Rogue at 2 but it's at 3 so I am good on that.
Right now Living Mana, Sherazin, Razorpetal Lasher and Emerald Reaver are the main cards I called wrong.

I don't remember. Quest rogue is not a 3, it's a 4 if not 5 easily.
I am saying I rated it as a 3, which means that if it's a 4 then I am safe. Has to be off by 2.

Oh okay. I rated it a 4. I must have done the wrong survey lol cause I don't see my name

Glimmerroot is too easy imo. I think I've seen it failed maaaybe twice, even when I was running a non meta deck stealth rogue.

Unite the Murlocs is just dust right?
Same here, I'd guess I got my 2nd leg on the ~70th pack. It's the shammy questmso a bust as well but still better than Tyrantus.

3 warlock quests. Why.
Glimmeroot is hard on arena
On my 71st pack I got my 5th legendary, I guess it's my luck after the shitty MSG packs.

Free Fight Promoter?
I guess similar soft cap could work in HS at say, 8 cards?
Yeah, you can decide what to discard at end of turn when you have 10-12 card hand and slim down to 9 cards, any card drawn putting your hand size above 12 gets discarded HS style

So I'm now 7-7 with quest rogue at rank 18. If it's such a strong deck, why am I not powering up the ladder? I just lost to a priest because I drew only two bounce cards the whole game. I think that one was impossible to win. Couple that with the unwinnable hunter match up every other game and how am I supposed to climb?
Someone please tell me.

I don't think it is very reliable except possibly in certain pocket meta's (legend?).
I got to rank 15 with it last season but it took a lot of luck. Against most any aggro deck you're dead, and with poor draws you're also dead.

I wonder if they'll nerf firefly eventually. Maybe make it a 2 mana 1/2 that makes a 1 Mana 1/2

wew, those last few turns in the Hoej vs Fib were just
Came down to a bunch of coin flips.
I think we rated most of the quests at 3 because we really weren't certain how to rate them because of how new and weird the mechanic was. It served us well with Quest Rogue but in the event that we end up rating any of the quests at 1 then we may have played it too safe. In particular, I thought I should have gone with my gut on Lakkari Sacrifice and rated it a 2, because I wasn't really sure what a Lakkari Sacrifice deck would even look like.
Fun fact, Emerald Reaver is the only card where we differed by two or more stars.
I gave the rogue quest a 4 and I was shaking my head at all the rogue loyalists complaining that Rogue got shafted in jtu. Miracle got great tools and the quest was really strong but I guess until team 5 reprints blade flurry or makes a rogue exclusive healbot rogue fans are always gonna be disappointed.
I think going 50% with crystal rogue over a lot of games is pretty much expected. Looking at the VS data reaper power rankings it shows that Crystal/Quest Rogue has a 48% winrate across the field.
The reason people love to play it, is the same reason Jade Druid was so popular. It has extremely polarized match ups and sometimes in bad match ups it just wins. A good quest rogue draw is just impossible to beat.
If you want to climb with it you just need to plug away at it and hope you don't see a ton of aggro and let the winstreaks do the work.
