How often did you SCIENCE!!! Duplicate? I feel like that opening could make a big difference in the game, especially if you end up duplicating one of your sweet 4 drops.

Duplicate was played in the majority of games.  All but one time it was gotten by scientist, and it duplicated a 4 or 5 drop every time except twice (once it gave me a 2 drop, another time it got kezan'd).

It's crafting time again. 1.6k

Potential candidates: Cenarius, Voljin, Al'Akir, Neptulun, Thalnos, Harrison Jones, Baron Geddon, or Sneed's Old Shredder

Could put Hogger, Toshley, Blingtron 3000, and Leeroy on the list, but meh.

Currently leaning towards Cenarius, but I'd like to have Harrison Jones as well. I'm probably not going to play Ramp until I get back up to Rank 5+, whereas I might play Oil Rogue (Thalnos) now. Geddon is great for control warrior and I could use him in mine, and Sneed's is good in many control decks.

At this point I own pretty much all of the important epics, so I'm just working on finishing off the necessary expert collection right now.

I have crafted a couple rares so I can have a normalish deck. What should I be crafting first once I take out some stuff I don't want? Obviously looking towards something with a lot of versatility.

Alex - Dr. Boom is great in pretty much any deck if you don't have him already. Otherwise I think we'd want to see your deck before posting specific crafting suggestions.

Westy - Harrison, Thalnos, and Neptulon are the ones from your lists that I see the most often, but they all kind of have different decks. Neptulon Shammy actually seems decent right now, Harrison is in a lot of different decks, Thalnos is in anything th does damage with spells (frost mage sometimes, oil rogue, I've seen it in some druid decks).

I'd say craft the one that fits in the deck you most enjoy playing. :P

I need to craft Loathreb and Bloodmage Thalnos to have the ideal version of my deck, but if I'm gonna spend a lot, I'd rather get stuff that's good in a lot of decks. I'll probably craft Loathreb first, he seems generally strong.

So, yes, I'm playing Oil Rogue

Just so you know, you can't craft Loatheb, you need to unlock his Naxxramas wing to get him.

I wish I could + 1 this more than once. SO EXCITED!!!!


Rend seems kind of underpowered. A 7-drop that trades with Yeti that can only destroy specific cards and only if you're holding a specific type of card.

I may have to build a warrior deck just to use that combo.

Too lazy to edit sorry guys haha.

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't actually looked into crafting any legendaries since it's so much dust, so I don't really know much about the various ones that might not be craftable.

Welp, looks like I'll just hold onto the dust until we see the new meta. Also going to start stockpiling gold.  I'm glad I won't have to drop $20 this time around

But if you don't pay with money you can't get the special pre-order card back.  I dunno if I'll buy with money or not this time around.  On the one hand I might be able to save up the gold.  On the other, I do actually want to support the game, and it'd be nice to not have to save gold.

Now you can identify the pay to win players.

this is coming from someone who's spent like $80, mostly giftcards, on the game

I'm willing to admit I've spent a decent sum on the game. I have nowhere near a complete collection and I'm not the greatest player (I mostly build decks for fun, not necessarily for competitiveness) so would I be considered "pay to win"? lol

I'm probably going to pre-order the Adventure for the card back. I like to cycle through my backs randomly so having another one in the mix, for no extra real cost, would be nice. Especially when it's FIRE!!!!

Hungry Dragon is straight OP in any format. There aren't enough big 1 drops to mitigate him, especially with the expected Dragon synergy coming up.

Until you give your opponent a dust devil, and they use oil on it to hit your face for 6, then kill the dragon.

Always excited to see new cards! I knew they would do something with Dragons eventually. Who wants to bet they will make a "Summon/Add to hand a random dragon" effect? It would just be too much fun.

Until you give your opponent a dust devil, and they use oil on it to hit your face for 6, then kill the dragon.
Unless they first play the Portal you gave them with their Gallywix and pull an Alexstraza, which they use to half your health and then Prep + Oil to hit your face for 16.

OP OP OP!!!

(P.S. I would be a grim patron too if I had that much hair coming out of my nose.)

I don't like Axe Flinger, seems too slow for Aggro and doesn't fit control.

Lava Shock seems pretty good (its important to note it removes all overload you currently have, for the turn you play it and any you were already overloaded for on the next turn.)

axe flinger is really strong but it's in a bad class for its ability. It's a boss arena for a terrible arena class.

Lava shock would have been really cool if it dealt 1 damage per crystal you unlock. As it stands, I can see myself using that card. Ben Brode confirmed that it unlocks ALL overloads... meaning those currently active, and those set for next turn.
