I have something like 1900 gold saved up at the moment, because even though I generally go infinite in arena, the only card I'm missing from the classic set that I really want is Harrison Jones, so I figured I might as well save it.

Can't wait till GvG comes out.  I'm gonna do an all day stream of arenas the Saturday after it does (plus an arena or two during my normal streaming times during the week leading up to it).

DOUBLE POST DON'T CARE

IT'S HEEEEERRE

at least in the arena. Also, free run!

Also, the patch notes are fantastic.

Don't forget to cash in all those Flares and Gadgetzan's. Had 9 saved up here, cha-ching.

Flare is sooo bad now. Definitely cashing in on all of these nerfs. At worst, I recraft them for the same price.

Velen's Chosen is so good in Arena, especially when played on curve on 2 drops. Trades very favorably early game and is especially useful because of the Priest healing. I look at it as a way better version of Blessing of Kings: 1 mana less gets you 2 less attack, but in most cases that 2 additional attack was overkill anyways. The Spell Power can also come in handy with the common Holy Nova's.

Northshire Cleric + Velens Chosen completely stole away my last Arena game. I had a 4/10 Twilight Drake out on Turn 6. Also slightly hilarious was making my opponents Nerubian Egg a 0/8 from two of his own Dark Cultist buffs.

Velen's Chosen is extremely good in general.

I <3 Spider tank.

Enhanceo-Mechano is absolutely INSANE in arena with a full board.

The collection rewards are so lackluster in HS. Only 100g for collecting every card in the "Expert" set? Goes right along with just the card back you get for defeating all the heroic Nax bosses....

I had a thought.

Will playing arena nonstop be an efficient way to earn GvG cards? I imagine you'll have a 50/50 chance of earning a basic or GvG pack as your reward. If you just get a bunch of basic packs, that money was essentially wasted on cards you already own.

Ahh, I wasn't aware of that. That's cool.

Just a random note, you can already get GvG cards outside the arena (not in your collection, but to use during matches) if you have something like Webspinner that draws from a random pool. Got Malorne in a match the other day (druid GvG legendary). Didn't get a chance to play him but just thought it was cool to even see him.

BRB, playing a Hunter deck all night.

jk, I don't sell my soul that easily.

Chugga chugga, chugga chugga.

French is the best. sounded like a dying Pikachu

Of course the 1 hour they had it down for maintenance today was the 1 hour of my lunch break and the only time I likely would have had to play today (I have to raid in WoW this evening). /sigh

I may log in and at least buy/open packs, lol.
