I see the game is just as reliable as ever. Haven't played since Frozen Throne outside a few arena runs (I still have all the solo content from Frozen Throne onwards incomplete). Just logged in earlier to do an Arena run and in only my second match it kicks me out mid run to let me know the app had updated and I had to restart. Really game? You couldn't wait until the end of the match?

Managed to get back in and win the game anyway but that's just awful design

Actually I remember why I stopped playing now. It gave me some awful solo content quests which overwrote all my normal quests. So I was stuck with 3 special quests that needed clearing that would take some time to clear and I couldn't get any normal quests until I was done. And when I looked into it apparently when you cleared them it just gave you more anyway. So I just thought fuck this and stopped logging in as it waa basically forcing me to do hours of solo content before I could do anything else

I think they changed it at the start of this rotation to allow you to reroll those quests.

Bleh, just lost a game in Arena because I'm rusty and assumed mechanics would operate slightly differently.

Opponent had the mech 2/6 taunt out that gets +2 attack when there's nothing else on his side so it was a 4/6
I used Kooky Chemist to swap attack/health
I thought it would change to an 8/2 (or worst case 6/4)
It actually changed to an 8/4

Like it being a 6/4 post swap I get. But 8/4? Why does the +2 attack get applied again. Like if it was going to get applied again surely it should have gone 8/2 not 8/4

It happened every single time I cleared a quest that then refreshed into a new quest. Was annoying as hell.

Managed to clear all the quests in 3 arena runs. Only legendary I got from them and all the packs was Vereesa Windrunner. Oh well, I have 10k dust and a shit ton of cards I could dust if necessary since my entire collection is basically wild now.

Any cheap deck suggestions?

I took Midrange Hunter from low 8 to 5 in a single winstreak over the last couple days. The list I ran (from Vicious Syndicate) isn't too expensive, with just 4 total epics (2x2) and one legendary, and there are cheaper builds out there without Rat Trap.

### Rat Trap Midrange Hunter
# Class: Hunter
# Format: Standard
# Year of the Dragon
#
# 2x (1) Shimmerfly
# 2x (1) Springpaw
# 2x (1) Timber Wolf
# 2x (1) Tracking
# 2x (2) Rat Trap
# 2x (2) Scavenging Hyena
# 2x (2) Vicious Scalehide
# 2x (3) Animal Companion
# 2x (3) Deadly Shot
# 2x (3) Kill Command
# 2x (3) Master's Call

It swaps to 6/4 as its new base stats.

And then your opponent only has one creature in play, so it gets +2 attack bringing it up to 8/4.

(This isn't even the weirdest interaction like this. Let's say you have a 1/1 that's pumped to a 2/2 by Stormwind Champion. If you swap its attack and health, then its new base stats get snapshotted at 2/2, and then Stormwind Champion makes it into a 3/3).

So...there was a bug where a few people opened Zayle from a pack (which was supposed to be impossible, and also a waste when you get it for beating the singleplayer).

Blizzard gave affected people a free legendary and removed the Zayle:

EDIT: oh also, since I know people were discussing this one and not sure, but more arms from extra arms will also cost 2:

Cheap decks right now are like...

Midrange Hunter
Token Druid
Silence Priest
Murloc Shaman
Mech Paladin
Zoo Warlock
Surprisingly some builds of resurrect/wall priest (mass resurrection is a rare, mass hysteria is rare, and a lot of cards like witchwood grizzly and damage stegotron are rare or common)
Some builds of Chef Nomi Priest
Probably some Rogue decks, but nobody's sure what Rogue decks are going to look like post nerf.

Decided to disenchant my Preps and Raiding Parties so I could craft Kandor's Endless Army, which was the last piece I needed to play Kibler's Handbuff Mech Paladin. Ended up going 8-1 in the limited time I had, then used the 100 gold to buy one pack, and it was a doozy...

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/162396569289752576/581108295868088331/unknown.png

Post-nerf Hearthstone is treating me pretty well right now.

wgX84pu

After losing to this damn boss six or seven times now, I was finally able to get my first win against him. I needed to be playing the stat swap hero power for Priest, which I wouldn't recommend, along with the broken Robes treasure, and have the opponent make poor trades on the last two turns in a row... but a win is a win.

I'm going to be salty now if I lose to Jepetto in the final match.

Edit: No salt, rng was on my side the last few turns. Rag dodged hitting Sylvanas two turns in a row, while my 1/4 taunt held off the regular Sylvanas from triggering and the 1/1 copy only stole an 11/11 Velen.

Hit rank 15 on the alt (from the bottom of rank 25). Using Token druid because i just happened to open up Stalladris from my adventure packs today and i had the dust to make the other cards.

Currently 17-0 (according to deck tracker). Almost lost to a shark rogue but managed to find lethal just in time for it.

Wisdomball is an auto-pick for me every time because I love his shenanigans. Occasionally he's super helpful: he can summon three taunts for you, give you like 5 copies of your next drawn card, let you draw two cards at once, give you extra mana crystals at the start of the game vs an opponent that has a head start, heal your hero back up if you get low, reset your fatigue or even add cards to your deck when you first get to fatigue.

But a lot of the time, he's super dumb. One of the things he does is change a minion you play into a random legendary; "Random legendaries are always good!". Which can be nice, but also detrimental. Another thing he does is double the last spell you cast. Which would be nice if you're using Flamestrike or something, but he'll also do it with Arcane Intellect when you're holding 9 cards and just burn 2 for no reason. Or try and cast a secret again totally unsuccessfully. Another thing he does is take a minion that just died and add it back into your deck. No Wisdomball, I'd rather not draw a 1-mana vanilla 1/1 later.

It's still really fun, though, so I take him every time.

Wondrous Wisdomball things I've had happen...

I've had it draw a second card for me.
I've had it give me three or so additional copies of a minion after drawing it.
I've had it reduce a minions cost when I draw it, usually severely.
I've had it cast a spell a second time for me.
I've had it shuffle a minion back into my deck after it dies.
I've had it add cards to my deck when I hit fatigue.
I've had it freeze the opponents entire board.
I've had it destroy the entire board.
I've had it give me an extra turn.

On the other hand, I've also had it increase the mana cost of a cheap minion after drawing it, just as severely as the reduced situation so that the minion was essentially unplayable. Also, it's turned a minion I've played into a legendary right after I played it three times, but all three times the legendary has been worse than the card I wanted to play. Theoretically it's another positive situation but it hasn't worked out well for me so far.

He does cool things like cast iceblock on you before you die or freeze the enemy board. He can also give you an extra turn etc. But he also does dumb stuff like change the cost of a card, but its always to like 10 mana.

Yeah, I had that 4-mana wolf that deathrattles into 1/1s in my deck once. Then when the 1/1s died, he shoved one of those back into my deck, and when I drew it, he changed it into 7-mana. So that was cool.

So I started playing again, pulled scargil, so I decided to craft hagatha and some murlocs and go full murloc shaman. It's pretty fun so far! This is my first time playing such a straightforward aggro deck. Went from 20 to 13 with little difficulty so far. I'm sure that won't last long but drawing the nuts on an opening hand is a great feeling.

NPH's specialist format review:

https://noproshere.com/2019/05/27/team-noproshere-specialist-meta-report-10/

Hunter and Warrior on top, which is a bit of a surprise given how many mages we saw in Grandmasters.

Rogue appears to be doing fine, with two tier 2 decks, both running EVIL Miscreant and Prep. (No Raiding Party in sight, though).

Opponent just played Book of Specters on turn 2, and drew the second one and both Conjurers Callings. You can guess how fast the concede came out. The rng gods must have been incredibly displeased with their choices lately.

It might not be good, but the treasure that allows you to use your hero power twice and changes it to cost 1 pairs nicely with the Warrior bomb hero power. Shuffling 12 damage worth of bombs every turn is fun.

I dunno about the bomb hero power specifically, but I think that's an extremely strong treasure in general. With any decent hero power guarantees that you don't have a bad opening, and opens up a lot of synergistic cards to be absurd (basically anything that says inspire).

I got that with just vanilla mage ping, and it was great. Picked up some inspire cards and frost lich jaina.

Meanwhile, today I had a win 3 warlock quest, I'm at rank 1 3 stars with Warlock in Wild, win, rank 1 4 stars. Queue and...can't find an opponent. Cancel out to make sure I didn't disconnect. Queue again, can't find an opponent. Try half an hour later, queue, can't find an opponent. Eventually I just did arena because I think the arena season is rolling over soon and I didn't have an arena in progress.
