Board 8 > Hearthstone Discussion Topic: It Likes The Smell Of Dead Things

(+) Yeah! (+)

My buddy did warrior and got Grommash's arm guards and 2 woecleaver immediately. Just grabbed big minions from then on. Easiest dungeon run of his life
---

I just got three free packs, I assume they were the compensation for the daily quest bug.
---

Is there a list of B8 BattleTags anywhere? I only have 1 guy on my friend's list who plays Hearthstone (all my friends are WoW) and it's kind of a pain waiting for him to log in to to those spectate and challenge quests.
---

There is one, but I don't know how up to date it is or how many people on it still actually play.

got an aluneth from my free packs

time for secrets?

i am so out of the loop on this meta
---

I got 2 epics in one of the packs.

They were both bad.
---

I got a bad epic (Cataclysm) and a golden common. Woo-hoo, dodged getting 120 dust!!!
---

I got 100 dust and a Hungry Ettin I didn't have two copies of.
---

I got 95, and a second copy of a common and a rare.
---

More like it jobs to Tempo Rogue and Aggro Pally
---

Whatever this business is about free packs, I haven't gotten any, and I most definitely got jobbed out of some quests.

I also happen to have the play-a-friend quest atm.
---

Just go to the Gift icon in the top right of the battle.net client and claim them.
---

Man I hate that gift nonsense. I predominantly play on mobile. I rarely ever use the desktop client as play is so much quicker/easier on touchscreen

Can't they like just hand it to you on login

Yeah. Ooze isn't a big deal, since 6-mana-draw-3 is still fine, all things considered.

Hey in the three games I played Spell Hunter for quest I had Barnes in my opening hand each time

Pretty good!

You can also do it from the Battle.net website if you want to stay on your phone

Got the necessary dust to craft a second cube and a second voidlord, and has all the other tools to play cubelock already...

Went from 3-0 to 3-6. I was sad. Though, also happy to see how other people were beating cubelock.
---

Silence is everywhere right now

I imagine thats the decks biggest counter along with bursty decks that it cant really heal against
---

My Warlock deck is an amalgamation of crap. It's KrulLock with two Voidlords, because I'm not gonna play Krul without one in hand anyway, unless I've got the Doomguard or something. And also I reeeeeeally want to pull it with the Master Oakheart in there. That way, I can revive 4 of them with the N'Zoth. There's a Spellbreaker in there to counter lots of current stuff. Then I needed something for the weapon, but it can't be Acidic Swamp Ooze or Gluttonous Ooze or Oakheart will pull it instead, and I don't have Harrison. So Corrosive Sludge it is! Put in a Beetle, a Mistress of Mixtures, and a Dirty Rat for more Oakheart stuff and in case I keep or draw Tar Creeper, toss the Tar Lurker in there too why not.

pretty rought night on ladder. Was a win from 5 but my internet broke down and like i got a loss for match i didnt even see the muligan for. After that I lost like 5 in a row and basically ended the night where I started.
---

I've attempted two Hunter dungeon runs.

I've succeeded two Hunter dungeon runs, apparently, as well!

perfect record aw yeah

I have lost way too many games where I was clearly the better player for me to ever think player skill means jack shit.

Man I've lost too many games just today from my own misplays and lack of consideration and foresight to know that it does matter eventually

Ay is this tournament still going on? Did the expansion nix it or is it on hold until the meta settles or something?

New expansion and holiday season threw things into a wrench for me

I just need to PM FFD to see if he still intends on forfeiting his matches
---

I almost have enough dust to craft Tarim for paladin. After that I might jam It for a while
---

One of the sillier matches I've ever played: https://hsreplay.net/replay/nohZByWyU7tieVguevDVvc

It's not nearly as interesting on HS replay, but I was playing with what it would be like to add cubes to a deathrattle/jade rogue, and the last few turns of the game are downright hilarious because the control warrior can't remove my Sonya, which led to an epic fatigue heal-off. If you don't watch the whole thing, start from turn 14.

I have found my new favorite deck ever. Games get SO stupid, it's great. I had to download Tracker so I could start saving replays, because they're wonderful.

https://hsreplay.net/replay/6SBWi8khJCSYae3bgShMjV
https://hsreplay.net/replay/EytiJS9ZgPYy4tcove7iKM

I crafted Spiritsinger Umbra for it, and tried it out once, and got an even crazier result than these against a Tempo Mage when after Turn 6, I had Umbra, 2 Sneed's Shredders, and a Cube that had just eaten a Shredder and out popped Deathwing Dragonlord. And that was on my first try with it. At that point I knew this deck was meant for me.

For Class Legendaries

Tarim > Van Cleef > 3 DKs (Anduin/GulDan/Malf) > Raza > Fandral > Lyra > Aluneth > Tirion > rest
---

lmao I don't have four of the top five

have the rest though, Tirion is the only one I handcrafted
---

I haven't played arena in a while, did they ever add those unique cards to arena, or even say anything else about it?

Can confirm.

I just went 13-2 from rank 15-10 with Aggro Paladin and Tarim might be the MVP.

Maybe right now, since all paladin decks are weenie aggro rush. Tirion has been consistently great for a long time, and won't rotate out of standard, though.

Raza's only really good if you have Anduin, and the reverse is almost true. Granted, the tandem is what makes one of the top decks in the meta for the next few months. Raza does rotate out in three months, though. Beyond that, though, I'm hard-pressed to add to this list (though I might dispute the order) unless you really like cubelock or think that you can squeeze good mileage out of Sonya or Kingsbane. Rexxar's also a lot of fun.

edit: I could make a case for Antonidas or Velen. Wasn't thinking too hard about classic legendaries.
---

9-3 today. Win streak into rank 5. Have no quests so like not going to push it. I'm already finding the game kinda meh since I'm basically playing the same decks I was all last expansion.
---

I mean, Razakus Priest is good enough that Raza is a good craft right now even with it rotating, and it will always be good in Wild

I think Skull can be ok too. Maybe a card like Sonya can burst into the scene post rotation. Tony is a good one but isnt a great card in Mage right now (slower builds prefer Medivh, and burn cant use him anymore cause of aluneth making him too slow). The other DKs will all be playable
---

Antonidas
