I know It's fun to play too (I have played a fair bit myself), it's just that it's also potentially one of the most prohibitive decks to play against, and it's popularity just makes that even more profound. N'Zoth rotating out will slow it down, potentially, but the Skull, Lackey and Dark Pact cheating out the Voidlords are the real problems, and they aren't going anywhere for a year. Reddit posters seem to have taken to coming up with creative nerfs to try and slow it down without killing it, which I'd welcome, but we'll have to wait and see what else the new expansion has to offer too.

Padster Report post Posted April 7 3000 gold, 6500 dust, determined not to spend any real money this time around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronin Report post Posted April 7 N'Zoth is leaving? Bah. I just stuck him in my 'cubelock' deck to have a final blast with it. i cant afford the mountain giants and faceless manipulators, so added a twisting nether and gorgonzola in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strider Report post Posted April 8 If I buy two golden Morton giants when will I get the dust? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Cochese Report post Posted April 9 Some time on Thursday. I'm holding out a bit more in case I implausibly open a regular one this week before that, as that's still a 400 dust profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sloth Report post Posted April 9 Don't forget to start an arena run before the expansion releases. As long as it's still active when the patch hits, you'll get the rewards for however many games you've won and another run for free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Cochese Report post Posted April 9 Meant to mention that. As usual you can play up to two losses and stop there - the last time this happened I left a really strong deck completely unplayed, and the replacement was pure shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omus Report post Posted April 12 Battlecry Shaman is actually crazy. Just out valued a cubelock with ease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strider Report post Posted April 12 How did everyone do with their legendaries? I preordered. Got Darius Crowley for free then opened. Splintergraft Glass Knight Tess Greymane Genn Greymane Baku The Mooneater Also got 14 epics and about 1500 in dust. Is Hagatha worth crafting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omus Report post Posted April 12 I got: Hagatha Splintergraft Shudderwock Glinda Crowskin Blackhowl Gunspire Genn Graymane And about 5000 dust with the HOF cards. I opened 67 packs, and luckily didn't have to spend a penny. Quite pleased with that. Hagatha seems to be a bit of a snowball card. The battlecry is a little weak, but the active effect fills your hand really well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strider Report post Posted April 12 Nice. I've not played for ages so thought I'd invest in the preorder to get back up to speed. I got 4,100 from the HOF stuff so have about 12,500 dust in total. I'm assuming it's best to wait to see what happens over the next month before I start crafting cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omus Report post Posted April 12 Yeah, I recon so, i crafted a singular epic in Baleful banker for the battlecry shaman deck, but i think i'll be waiting on the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronin Report post Posted April 12 Are the HOF cards supposed to return all of the dust when disenchanted? I can only see the usual fraction of dust being returned on my cards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omus Report post Posted April 12 You shouldn't need to disenchant, when you login you get a popup of all the changes then awards you the dust and you get to keep the cards. You can then disenchant them again as normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronin Report post Posted April 12 I got that for 3 of the cards but not for all of the cards going to wild, like my golden nzoth, which have all been transferred to the wild selection but still have the normal disenchant values maybe im doing something wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uzi Report post Posted April 12 Uhhhh You only get it for hall of fame cards - ie cards going from classic set to wild. You get nothing extra for expansion cards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orko Report post Posted April 12 I preordered the expansion but then changed my mind and refunded it (purely because I knew I’d not play it enough to warrant the fifty quid outlay). Oddly, despite taking my card back away and giving me my money back, it did leave me with the seventy packs to open. I got got some stuff. I don’t know what any of it means or does. Why are some cards common/rare/ legendary? What does that mean in the context of this game? Why are some cards gold? What does that mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDubYes Report post Posted April 12 I preordered and had nearly 7,000 gold, so all told I think I opened about 140 packs this evening, and had about 13,000 dust at one point too (though I always craft some stuff opening night, because I’m an impatient idiot, so that’s down a fair bit now). i got Shudderwock as my freebie (very pleased with that), then Hagatha, Houndmaster Shaw, both the Pally legendaries, Dorian, Azalina, and Countess Ashmore from packs. Have since made Tess and the Face Collector (because Rogue), as well as Lord Godfrey, because that card is nuts, and I figured CubeLock would still be pretty good. The latter theory was pretty solid, it turned out, and I’m currently about rank 3,500 legend on the EU server (having only hit rank 2 yesterday), so I can now safely spend the next few weeks dicking around with the new cards without worrying about my rank, which I’m very happy about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RabMyself Report post Posted April 12 Well I opened about 84 packs and ended up with Free Legendary: Glinda Crowskin Duskfallen Aviana Splintergraft Archmage Arugal Shuderwock Darius Crowley Golden Blackhowl Gunspire (yay free legendary of my choice) The pity timer is definitely seems more generous as last expansion I had a similar amount of pack sand only got 3 legendaries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strider Report post Posted April 12 I've had an absolute shit time trying to play games tonight. Been constantly getting disconnected from ranked matches and losing games. Can't work out if it's the game or a shitty connection my end. I just crafted lord godfrey. Hah, he's nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omus Report post Posted April 12 It's not been too bad here, no disconnections so far. Just did my free ticket from the abandoned arena run from last season and managed 5 wins, which isn't that bad since i drafted a poor deck, and managed to get a Prince Liam too from mt pack. The incidence of Legendaries seems really good this time around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDubYes Report post Posted April 12 Yeah, I thought the drops were pretty generous, and haven’t had any issues at all since about 20 minutes after the expansion dropped. Incidentally Strider, i think Godfrey was probably a pretty good craft if you’re intending to play Cubelock again this season; he was very useful for me inthat last climb to legend, even if Warlock isn’t exactly lacking in board clears anyway. Oh, and Tess is fucking hilarious; I just played a Big Spell Mage (which looked pretty good, in fairness - lots of removal, especially with Voodoo Doll now in the mix) and played her three times. Each time she summoned an Antonidas and a Tyrantus (partial thanks to Face Collector there) and then cast Ice Barrier, Polymorph and 1-3 fireballs. Funnily enough, I won that game, even after they cleared my first two Tyrantus with Voodoo Dolls, and had managed to heal from 5 hp back to full after playing the DK (another reason Voodoo Doll is good in Mage - free Water Elementals with your removal).

Hexx Report post Posted April 13 11 hours ago, Orko said: Why are some cards common/rare/ legendary? What does that mean in the context of this game? Why are some cards gold? What does that mean? Just rarity. Gold Cards - animated artwork basically. Everything in the game has a gold version, there's nothing "gameplay" about it. (The best thing is they disenchant to more mats. e.g. if you disenchant a gold legendary, you'll get enough dust to craft any normal legendary) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Cochese Report post Posted April 13 Unless you're a luxe player, spending real money to catch-em-all, mostly think of gold cards as a wildcard for whatever card of the same rarity you want. Which reminds me, I should probably dust my gold Rin - who I have previously declaimed on this forum as a n00b trap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
