If you can get or craft a Ysera she's super swell. I would also definitely run 2 Twilight Guardians, they're so good. I would honestly replace the Holy Fires with Lightbombs if you have them. Way better for removal.

Sweet...

So... Now I've got a dilemma... Should I buy wing two of LoE, or start saving up to buy a ton of packs when the new set drops? I have 700 gold now... Oh, decisions, decisions...

browarod · « **Reply #1428 on:** March 12, 2016, 02:11:03 PM »

I'd say wait until closer to the set releases to decide. Past sets have been mostly to entirely spoiled before they even release so you can check if there are cards from the new pack that you'd want to put in your decks versus cards from LoE wing 2 you'd want and see which is worth it.

I think I will probably buy at least one wing, since I currently have 1600+ gold now.

Check out this arena deck I have right now, that I am 4-0 with.

1x Deadly Poison
1x Pit Snake
1x Zombie Chow
1x Sap
1x Shiv
1x Acidic Swamp Ooze
1x Defias Ringleader
2x Goblin Auto-Barber
1x Mechwarper
1x River Croc
1x Sunfury Protector
1x Harvest Golem
1x Jungle Panther
1x Shattered Sun Cleric
1x Silent Knight
1x Sabatoge
1x Dark Iron Dwarf
1x Lost Tallstrider
1x Senjin Shieldmasta
1x Assassinate
1x Azure Drake
1x Darkscale Healer
1x Spectral Knight
1x Stampeding Kodo
1x Argent Commander
1x Stormwind Champion
1x Northsea Kraken
1x Frost Giant

Feels quite broken, the end has never been in doubt, really, once we get into the later game.

EDIT: Finished 5-3. One loss was to a disconnect, and the other two to control warriors that I couldn't get any footing against in the early game, even with all my 2 drops. Oh well.

Can I just say how hilarious I find this card? I feel like it may be a bit overcosted but, seriously, tentacles......for arms..........

Ragnaros the Lightlord... Like Lay on Hands, but with an 8/8 body, random target, and no card draw. I kinda like it.

He's one of those legendaries I might try out if I happen to get one from a pack but not good enough (at first glance) to craft via dust.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1433 on:** April 03, 2016, 01:12:12 PM »

I think Lightlord is a pretty darn good Paladin card that deserves to be in all control and midrange Paladin decks, especially with Antique Healbot out of the picture. It's not too often that you'll have any injured minions out when you first play this, so it's usually at very least an 8 mana 8/8 Healbot, which is good enough as is (probably better than Lay on Hands, depending largely on if and how BGH is changed). If it heals an injured minion, that's usually fine as well, depending on what you have out.

But then if it stays alive it becomes a major threat, since it can smack down most minions and then possibly heal itself back to full - every turn. Or if it heals you instead of itself, still great value - a total of 16 health gained to your face, plus however much damage it tanked before dying (typically at least 8 ), enough to make any aggro deck cry.

Precisely! So... Now the question I have been wondering... Will the serious minded competitive players disenchant their Wild cards, when they become unusable in the competitive scene?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1435 on:** April 12, 2016, 02:02:14 PM »

Oh man, I'm super excited to see how Cho'Gall pans out. He looks like he could be an insanely good card in a Reno deck.

browarod · « **Reply #1436 on:** April 12, 2016, 10:48:43 PM »

He's great for handlock, and handlock is fairly easy to turn into a Reno deck, so I see him being played.

Also Deathwing, Dragonlord anyone?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1437 on:** April 13, 2016, 11:00:56 PM »

Yeah, Dragonlord seems like a pretty cool card. If it gets silenced, then it's still a 12/12, and if it gets destroyed, then it's still Ysera. Still, I fear it's too slow. If you have to spend your entire turn 10+ playing a card, it typically needs to be fast in some way to keep you from losing the game before you can use it. I don't think a 12/12 with a sweet deathrattle will cut it.

browarod · « **Reply #1438 on:** April 15, 2016, 12:30:24 AM »

So, apparently there's a new mage hero skin, Khadgar. It's $5 rather than $10 (likely because it doesn't come with a card back) but it's only available for purchase if you're in HS on an iOS device.

I get that HS is technically free-to-play, but I'm kinda frustrated with all this exclusive content being added to the game. First the Samsung card back (only for a specific, new, expensive model of phone) and now this. Not to mention the various card backs related to specific things like Tespa and such that most of us won't ever have the opportunity to even try to acquire.

Minion of Jesus · « **Reply #1439 on:** April 24, 2016, 07:40:57 PM »

So... With just about all the cards spoiled (or all of them, too lazy to find out for sure) what do you all think of WotOG? And what about the nerfs to old cards, like Ancient of Lore only drawing one card now, Ironbeak Owl costing 3 mana, etc?

In terms of the set, I like it. A lot of the legendaries are kinda meh though.

Most of the nerfs seem fair to me. Leper Gnome and Knife Juggler are still playable with one less attack, and Ironbeak Owl is okay. However, I'm mad they ruined Arcane Golem. It's now a 4/4 for 3 with "Battlecry: Give your opponent a mana crystal." The card is now unplayable. I disenchanted that card and replaced it with two Divine Crusaders for my rush Paladin deck.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1441 on:** April 24, 2016, 10:03:24 PM »

I feel like Rogue is the ultimate Old God class. I'm especially excited to play a N'Zoth/Yogg-Saron Rogue deck.

There are definitely some crappy legendaries in this set (like the Boogeymonster - what the $%&@ were they thinking?), but I'd venture they are still better on average than the ones from the Grand Tournament (see Bolf Ramshield, the Skeleton Knight, and Skycap'n Kragg), especially if you consider the Old Gods themselves, which are all very powerful cards.

Minion of Jesus · « **Reply #1442 on:** April 25, 2016, 12:02:07 AM »

And, free C'thuns for everyone!

Edit: Also, what with the changes, would it be a good idea to disenchant a few of my gold cards that were modified, such as Master of Disguise (I have one gold, one regular) and my golden Molten Giant (I only have that one)?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1443 on:** April 25, 2016, 03:52:58 PM »

I disenchanted all the copies I owned of all of the cards that were changed. There's really no risk in doing so since if you decide you want them back you can always re-enchant them at no additional cost.

Lampy 2.0 · « **Reply #1444 on:** April 25, 2016, 04:05:41 PM »

This is a deck I'm going to build for standard format. I love the idea of the C'thun deck and I really want to try it out.

Why on earth is Evil Heckler in that deck and not Amber-Weaver?

I'll work on it. I picked Heckler first because Klaxxi doesn't appeal to me that much as a card, plus I think I needed more taunts.

So if anyone has any doubt about just how crazy Yogg-Saron can be, this happened in my game just now: http://i.imgur.com/IJoR9nZ.png?1

That's 30 total spells cast.

Minion of Jesus · « **Reply #1448 on:** April 27, 2016, 09:22:56 AM »

Goodness... Just played my dragon mage deck... Played Nefarian, got Mindgames out of it, against a Priest. Played Mindgames, copied out Ysera. Ysera gives me Dream (return a minion to owner's hand). My opponent plays Deathwing, Dragonlord. I Dream him to my opponent's hand. He plays him again, next turn. And I Dream him, again.

I felt kind of bad as his face exploded.

My first game of standard was hilarious.

I was playing my control warrior deck. The only thing it was missing was Shieldmaiden, so I replaced it with Bloodhoof Brave and I threw in a Ravaging Ghoul.

My opponent was playing a C'thun warrior and he was slowly building up his C'thun. One turn, I have an Armorsmith, A Frothing Berserker, and two Grim Patrons out on the board. Opponent plays C'thun, hits my Armorsmith and my Patrons. By the end of the turn, I had a bunch of armor, 4 Patrons, and a 26-ATK Berserker. He then rage quits.
