Man, I didn't catch the stream and just read a checklist of what was new, and duels really threw me at first. I was 100% thinking about it like battlegrounds and was wondering how long you had to build a 15 card deck, and how fucking long turns were going to be between matches. Made a lot more sense once I realized it was like arena instead.

Hovering over the opponent's deck slot in Battlegrounds will now display what minion types are missing from the pool.

Thank god, I thought they were going to be obstinate and never add this.

I mean I've been playing since Old Gods in 2016 so Wild always felt like a format I was never going to catch up on just being a few expansions and adventures behind.

For as much money I've spent on Hearthstone over the years it's honestly pretty sad how pitiful my actual collection is for a game mode like this but I guess that's the cost of dusting wild cards.

So I scrolled by some Hearthstone news on Twitter and it looks like they're adding a bunch of stuff to the main game (as in not extra modes).

How's the meta? Is now the time to get back into Hearthstone?

i wish you could mute people in specific topics instead of just full on ignoring

i don't mind ulti for the most part but it's exhausting when hearthstone topics are just him bitching about constantly playing a game he hates

No, no, just some misunderstanding! I posted right around the time Ulti did and then your post made it seem like you weren't seeing any of the new posts.

Is it weird that I still haven't looked into the new mode at all? Either trying my own run or watching a streamer? I look at the strucure and it's a 12 wins 3 losses format, and my brain thinks "that looks a lot like arena, sounds really time consuming to do one run".

I've seen surprising little on it. I know it's out there if I want to find it, but I simply haven't been curious. The fact that it's a format that will have a meta, and some people are being allowed to play it first and the rest of us won't try it until that meta has already been solved kinda annoys me.

Kripp has been playing it nonstop for 3 or 4 days and kinda feels like worse Arena so far.

Each class is going to have 3 hero powers and 8 starting treasures eventually but right now they only have 1 hero power and 1 treasure so it seems really samey. Maybe it'll allow for more creativity when all of the content is unlocked (who knows when that'll be) but yeah I'm suspicious of the longevity of the mode.

Kripp has said quite a few times that it feels like a super Tavern Brawl instead of a new game mode.

With only one hero power and one treasure, it certainly would.

So apparently having certain cards in your starting Duel deck will unlock different hero powers/treasures once the full game is live. This mode is pretty frustrating for us wild dusters if they start requiring wild cards to even have access to the content.

I now have Duels access because I mistakenly thought they were only dropping them during the Kripp event yesterday and not 24/7.

Also, there's apparently a special quest for Duels to win two games that you get, which sucks because I had a full quest log at the moment.

I went 6-3 with an absolutely terrible Mage deck, and I'm 3-0 with Shaman right now. I've played just enough so far to finish the legendary quest string for the six free packs.

I hate it. Demon Hunters all seem to run Slice and Warblade already, last thing that class needs is double the damage.

It wouldn't be so bad if DHs didn't have a lifesteal weapon they can set up the turn before.

2 attack weapon the turn before
8 from twin slice (4 mana)
1 from hero power (1 mana)
new legendary (4 mana)

That's 22 damage for 9 mana

Also if they have a taunt you can still just swing into the taunt to deal 11 face damage instead.

I guess the only downside is that you need to be missing 11 health for that combo to work? I'm assuming it doesn't work if you're full health but we'll see

Wow these are some pretty massive changes but not sure it's enough to curb the elemental problem. Moving in the right direction though

Tried to climb with the same deck as the last two seasons--went 0-3 with aggro DH; just a bad matchup against lifegain soul DH.

Went on VS and looked up the decks with supposedly good matchups against soul DH--looks like pure paladin. I'm missing two legendaries (Alura and Murgur Mugurgle) so I replaced both of them with Shotbot, and yeah, the deck went on a pretty good winstreak from Bronze to Platinum (a few losses at the start while I got used to the deck).

I've been playing Priest this expansion and I love when I queue into Demon Hunter. I'd be shocked if it wasn't the best match-up in the game for me by a wide margin. At first it seemed like Druid was but that's kind of come back down towards the middle for me.

Probably a big reason why I don't like the new Demon Hunter legendary, because that's going to go a long way to flipping the outcome against me.

As someone who was playing aggro DH, priest felt pretty winnable. There isn't a lot of aggro DH on the ladder, though.

Yeah I played a lot of Priest at the start of the expansion and it basically came down to whether or not I had my healing and board clears in hand by turn 5 or 6. I lost plenty of matches and I don't think DH was refined with the soul stuff yet.

DH has too much burst and ways to prevent Priest from sticking a minion with Apotheosis for the matchup to be in Priests favor IMO

I don't run Apotheosis, and my minions pretty much only exist for removal or healing so having them stick around isn't in the game plan.

Just had my first perfect game in battlegrounds since maybe back during its original vanilla period. Turns out +2/+1 on every minion every turn, plus a golden lightfang, plus an amalgadon, is pretty good.
