After experiencing it firsthand, I can confidently say that golden Baron and two golden bombs is the best Battlegrounds build.

I finally got Mogu Cultist to win a game for me against a Mage that never played two copies of any card, so I don't know what he was actually playing.

Definitely a one and done brawl. I got a legendary out of my pack, at least.

So that was a hero power.

Oh and just so it's on the record, the previous turn, I Cinderstorm'd for 20 missiles.

I started really going backwards trying to play interesting Singleton and Elemental decks, so I decided if I'm not allowed to have fun, no one else gets to either, and picked up Mech Paladin. Logged in today and got the new card for it and played one game against a Rogue. Here's how it went:
Turn 1
Dragon's Hoard
Crystology
Turn 2
Dagger up
Coin -> Galvanizer -> Galvanizer -> Micro Mummy -> Shotbot -> Magnetize Glowtron onto a Galvanizer
Turn 3
Concede, leaving my two 1-cost Sky Claws in hand unused.

Heroic Reno by far is the hardest challenge in this solo adventure. Not sure if it was just terrible luck or not, but are the random spells Reno gets taken from a small pool of spells that are always potentially beneficial to him? Because I never saw any spells that were negative for him, or even neutral, outside of something like a damage spell that happens to hit one of his own. He casts a ton of 1-cost spells, but I never saw anything like Deadly Poison, Tracking or Soulfire being cast as a result.

I've been stubbornly refusing to craft Zilliax because it rotates soon since about a month after it came out, it's going to feel really good when it finally rotates here in a couple of months and I don't have that same thought literally every time I build a deck.

I got to Rank 5 in Wild with Triple Reno, so I'm back to playing silly decks at Rank 7 in Standard. Bandersmosh is such a meme card and I love it. I've only been able to play it twice in the three games I've played as Highlander Shaman, but it's won me the game both times.

I had to hero slam it down on Turn 6 against a Token Druid when it became Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, and it gave me Nozari and Ysera Unleashed, and I was able to stabilize and win. Then against a Reno Mage, I dropped a Turn 4 10/10 in stats with a Coin -> 5/5 Onyxia into a Haunted Visions getting a Bloodlust for Turn 5 lethal before he could play any of his AoE.

You all need to go craft Bandersmosh and play him right now; HE'S SO FUN. Just got a Turn 6 Kalecgos into Eye of the Storm. Only including games I played this morning (finished on a 6-game winning streak and hit Rank 5 anyway, btw), I've played him as: Boommaster Flark, Dinotamer Brann, and Sir Finley of the Sands. I've yet to hit the Hi'reek Dream, but that's what I aspire to before I quit playing this deck.

I hate how picky the requirement for "Play X Games" is, I played three games in tavern brawl today and none of them counted. Opponent had lethal on board in all three games but apparently to get the 60 gold I need to pass and let my opponent slowly play his entire hand and hopefully actually kill me.

Is there anything worse than finally getting a Megasaur in battlegrounds and then seeing:

+3 Attack
+3 Health
+ Taunt

Yeah health is basically just a slightly better seer which isnt bad, might be better than Windfury too

Taunt isnt terrible either since it enables Strongshell

+3 Attack
+1 Attack/Health
Windfury

is way worse. Taunt has value, especially if you can grab a Strongshell Scavenger. Health is always usable. Plants are good if your opponent is playing mechs. Obviously DS and poison are your targets.

Huzzah, I'm on top of the world! Well, the HS world, for the moment.

https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/f9r4so/alright_blizzard_its_time_no_more_duplicate_epics/

Up to 2500 upvotes now with a 95% ratio. I know it's not exactly a revolutionary idea, but with tomorrow's major announcement and Blizzard saying they wanted to move the game in a more user-friendly direction, I thought the timing was right to give them a little nudge in this direction.

Ridiculous imbalance of epics has really hurt my experience with the last two sets on release day. Not only did I get surprisingly few epics, but the ones I got were not a very representative sample. Making up numbers, I maybe got 20 total and 4 were the same card.

I was doing so badly but now I'm in a 3 win streak in Battlegrounds

Wock with Brann and Kalecgos (I mainly only used it for early triples that I don't think ultimately really mattered all that much, got a huge Brann Murozond loop going that really pushed the late game, and got my Kaleg golden)

Curator Menagerie Golden Brann build (I was heavily Murlocs on the Menagerie side but didn't get a single Megasaur, doesn't matter when you have a golden Brann and a bunch of Softshells and Magicians and a huge cleave)

Tirion Baron build (Got a late Kangor's and Triple Baron with a Bomb package along with my strong neutral package of Righteous and Bolvar, my opponent sold Zapp at the end which is kinda wtf)

I'm only at 6.5k but I feel like I'm starting to figure things out better, or just got luckier

Wow, that's an awesome run you're on! 6.5k means you're in the top 22% of active players so you're doing great.

Instead of going for MMR I'm doing an All Hero Challenge, so far I've finished first place with 17 different characters, so I was making serious progress... until they dropped 7 new ones on us!

AFK is so good after this last update!

She gave me Cobalt plus the DS/Reborn dragon so naturally I was all about the shields from there out. This final battle was close because I got unlucky and his 7/4 attacked first, shielding his entire board, but I still edged out a close victory.

In addition to the three golds you see there I actually had to throw away two other Goldens during the run. Swapped out my Lightfang Enforcer (after many rounds of boosting) for the big Rover to ensure at least one refresh on my Cobalt, and got rid of my Glyph Guardian (triple attack boosting wasn't relevant enough, was hitting too many shields) to make room for the Zapp. For the final boss fight I knew Ysera had one huge dragon so I'd normally have jammed Maexxna 100%, but I'd also seen his Nadina previously which made it a little too risky IMO- went with the sure thing in the Ghastcollier instead. Which did juuuuuuust enough damage to put me over the top.

That's what I love about Battlegrounds, keeping an eye on your opponents and using that limited information to make fun decisions like that on the fly!

My ranking has been in the tank this past week. Two nights before the update went up, I played a bunch and lost horribly, dropping 500 points. Since the update, I've had one second place, a few fourths, and mostly finished in the bottom half. I don't know what my MMR is now, but it'll be a long time before I pull back up to the 6600 I started at.

I am on a mega roll in Battlegrounds since the patch. Last three games:

Deathwing: Deathrattle Mech
Tirion: Demons
Bartendron: Battlecry Dragons

All 1st places. All not even close.

Over the past three days, five 1sts, three 2nds, a 3rd, and a 7th (bad, bad Yogg game).

Hey, they finally fixed when you get your pack if your arena run gets dumped for rotation. Now you have to actually go into arena and go through the rewards screen to get your pack, where before you used to just get it when you started the game up.

A few days ago I remember someone evolved/transformed a minion into a Mogu that cost 7, but the art was missing like it wasn't supposed to be there yet, so I imagine that's likely to be the current card.

Rolled the quest to play two games of Battlegrounds on two different regions, and it was my first time playing since the new dragon patch came out. In all four games, I was never offered a single new hero. I finished 2/4/3/2 so the results ended up being fine, but it was kind of disappointing only seeing heroes that I'd already played before.

Also in the "Why me!" category, I used my free arena run and picked up Dragonqueen as my 28th card when my deck had zero duplicates up until that point. Pick 29 was between two duplicates or a trash card, and I took the trash card just to keep the Reno synergy going. Pick 30? Three duplicates. Should have picked something other than the trash card I guess. Hopefully the results turn out as well as the runs in Battlegrounds did.

Only one dupe is fine, especially if it's a low cost so you can hard mulligan for it.

I'm still hovering around 7k but I feel like things have been clicking so I think I can climb a bit.

Primordial Explorer was the dupe. The trash card was the 4/2/5 that gets +2 attack for every dragon you're holding, and I think I got six or seven of them in the deck so maybe it's a yeti often enough to not be completely worthless.

Saw the Battleground numbers and decided to try and get back into the top 3%, because I was super close.

Uh... well, mission accomplished.



Not pictured: the 2 knockouts I had the 2 previous rounds before this where 21 was the lowest damage I dealt between the 4 of them.

Good God, two games in a row...



Both games came down to me being able to transition properly for the endgame. Both times, I was able to quickly level, get a midgame triple, and instead of taking the choice that most benefited my current team (Sneed's, Zapp), I took the riskier choice that didn't fit what I had at all, and completely overhauled the team in that direction (Mal'Ganis, Kalecgos).
