Before a certain poster comes in to crap on this, I know there are various good reasons why Blizzard doesn't do it, but: I wish Casual was split up into different areas, like "Experimenting," "Practicing," "Questing," and "Just for Fun." It's kinda dumb when I am playing a silly Explore Un'goro deck to complete a Warrior Class Cards quest, and a Quest Rogue plays his Quest card turn one. I "Well Played," and coin out Explore Un'goro. He then try-hards me the whole game. Like, I get that what he wanted out of the game was different from what I did. I'm not mad. But it's kind of a silly dynamic to play over and over again, you know?
But I get it. It'd be hard to enforce, it'd split the player base "unnecessarily" etc. But that doesn't mean I can't dream.

Just concede when he plays the quest and queue again.
And using try hard in those context is just nonsensical.

I just mean in the sense that he was playing very by the book, trying to end the game as quickly as possible. And honestly, with that deck, it's kind of all you can do. Like I said, not upset or anything. It's just a weird mismatch.
I did end up queuing up into the same person the next game and just insta-conceded.
I honestly expected to miss both of those cards much more than I actually do. Brann especially was probably holding the game designers back.
I only wish there were more solid healing cards to fill the gap Reno left.

Hey, looking for some crafting advice. Is the Hunter or Warrior quests worth a go? Or the Paladin legendary minion? I have the other legendary cards for those classes to pair with them.

Hunter Quest isn't very good, but Warrior Quest is great. I haven't crafted it yet because it looks kinda boring to play though. Still undecided.
Tarim is great, if you plan on playing the class. I got him in a pack on opening day, so I haven't tried the class without him since launch. But I think he's pretty clutch if you want to play, say, Murlocadin.
Paladin legendary is the best legendary minion in the expansion, hunter quest is a bust, warrior quest is good but boring.

Huh, this got me thinking. I guess Tarim is! The only other contenders, IMO, are Sherazin (which I had a feeling people were overlooking pre-launch,) Lyra and Kalimos. I guess you could make an argument for all four.

Fuck Pirate Warrior. This shit needs to die.
Silence priest is pretty good against it. Once you get the 4-16 on the board there isnt anything they can do.
Then of course, if you miss your mulligan and dont get any silence effects, glhf.
I think i realized recently that the thing i hate the most about HS is that individual skill is so useless in many games. I had a game where, by constantly playing like i was panicking and by mousing over my lyra and flipping my cards around, i had a player make a shit trade. I had a 5-13 songstealer on the board and the guy killed the lyra because I made it look like I needed her card generation. Turns out, i had double plus inner in my hand so i immediately healed, went up to 30-30 and won the game. There is no doubt in my mind that I juked the shit out of the guy, and I've done it to a number of players before, but the game just simply isnt conducive to that kind of play on a regular basis.
Losing to RNG or Bad card draws is in the nature of card games and thats what it is, but losing because a player is better than you is unfortunately rather rare. I hope we see more cards like curious glimmerroot that have an active skill component who rewards players for actually being good thinkers and game players, not just top decking or having a perfect curve.

You can't dust your best friends! I still have my golden crafted Stelagg and Fuegan Bros when I was running a Thaddeus shenanigans deck.
Those were the days...

Elemental Shaman feels like it doesn't really have a win condition.
Yeah, but then you die to Quest Rogue I bet.
Oh man, I just died to the Amara + Majordomo combo.

I really want to craft Pyros and try to play an Elemental Tempo Mage, but I really don't see my win percentage being very high with that deck. Even though I love the idea of that deck, it doesn't seem like it would be very strong. I think I've only seen a handful of people running it so far.
For some reason I'm stuck at rank 6 with my Dragon Priest. I've been one win off from rank 5 at least 3 times now, each time I run into a Pirate Warrior and I go on a little losing streak. Getting pretty frustrating.

You can definitely experiment with the warrior quest to make it a bit more exciting. I did a c'thun version which lets me make a few more decisions and actually play the game.

Warrior Quest is so good, 80% of the time I win before actually triggering it. Just a WALL.OF.TAUNT.
How big is the new patch on mobile? I'm traveling and there's no wifi around. I don't wanna miss my quest
On Android it was 82 MB
Its certainly the most interesting and fun

That seems like a neat combination. Does playing Twilight Geomancer make your C'thun activate the quest as well?
Unfortunately, I won't be experimenting on ladder for a little while. I just hit Rank 6, which is the highest I've ever been. I want to hit Rank 5 before the season is over.
Its win condition is value. It's late game is insane. You often get a 2nd kalimos from discover. Flame elemental into blaze caller or stone sentinel into kalimos into 2nd kalimos. It's like playing dr.boom four turns in a row.
Is anyone playing mid-ranged Paladin right now? Could you share your decklist if so please?
I'm pretty bad at reading the meta myself so I'm wondering what specific variants are working well right now.
Yep. It's trickier to play than a deak with an obvious win condition imo as you need to understand how to work the extra value the deck offers. Not saying it's difficult particularly, but I can see why people wouldn't enjoy it.

Silence priest is pretty good against quest rogue as long as you draw well. You have, on average, about 4-6 turns to draw a guy, two doubles, an inner and a silence. Seeing as you can hard mulligan for these things, its not that hard to get there. I've won a number of games against quest rogue where they complete the quest and maybe even play it, only for me to smash their face in. Super draw dependant, but a quick game at least.
I've never seen that, but I like the sound of it. You could trigger it yourself pretty easily with a shadow word death and amara on the same turn.
What is Silverware Golem saying when it's played?

Set the floor
Or the Stoneshaper? "Winners lose, empires fall" is probably not right

Not sure. I always finish the quest before I get a chance to play c'thun, but I would certainly think so.

Made it to rank 5 today on a great Pally run. Not sure I have the time or the chops to get to Legend.
Now I hear it, sounded like gibberish before.
I never understood what Swashburglar was saying when he attacks for the longest time. The clue was when he spawns he says "Let's dance," then when he attacks he asks if the partner would like to tango.

Fiiinally got to Rank 5! Woo!
First time ever hitting it. I dunno if I should make a run for Legend or not.
Also, I asked, and that's not "the" Dodger -- although when I went to add him/her, it only said "Dodger" and didn't have a number beside it, which I thought was odd.

Might as well keep going. It's not like you can go backwards anymore

I guess that's less of a thing in Wild where you have Priests running Lightbomb, Dragonfire Potion, Excavated Evil, and Holy Nova along with Entomb, N'Zoth, and Amara.
I'll give Silence Priest a shot.
The Majordomo combo is so sick...like I wanted to do Reno Quest Shadowpriest, but isn't Reno Majordomo Quest Priest straight up better in every way? lol
