i opened the priest legendary that puts my opponent's deck into my deck

is there any possible plan I could make of using him in a useful way that doesn't involve planning to stall so long that my opponent dies of fatigue

i got that card too

its fun, but not very strong

one time I coined it out and stole the jade druid's whole deck, and at the end I had higher jades than he did.

the priest deathknight is amazing though i love it

I got the Priest death knight from the quest and the Mage one from my 10th pack.

Out of the ~25 packs I opened, that was the only legendary I opened (and it was guaranteed), and I opened 2 Epics and 24 Rares. Extremely close to minimum value possible.

This is why HS is bullshit and why I don't spend money on it.

I mean i opened about 30 packs, and got like 3 legendarys from the packs (not a single non-Death Knight), and a Death Knight from the adventure.

That said, i also pulled a Golden Gul'dan so i'm very much an outlier.

Currently really enjoying the control sort of Warlock, just still getting used to using defile optimally (i definitely need to get to the point where i can run the numbers quicker for each option in terms of how i can clear the entire board with the least value of cards).
Returning win rate: 4/1, 80%
In the process of creating a game to mod, we will see what it holds.

So my final legendary pulls until the next wing comes out with free packz is the Hunter deathknight from the prologue, Rotface, and 'i heard you liek decks'

Rotface is fine but I either screwed up my original berserker warrior deck a bit when I was remaking it for the first two icecrown wings or it's just not as good with the other new cards around

I have a really sweet arena pally deck atm though, once got a mountain giant t5, spikeridgesteed on it t6 and then a taunt minion and desperate stand on the giant to keep it alive even longer, grimestreet protector is really good too. currently 7-1 and the biggest arena runs I had before were two 5-wins.

Opened 31 packs with gold, 3 packs from arena, 3 packs from adventure, if i recall.
Opened moorabi and rotface, got paladin DK from adventure.

I've been playing moorabi in evolve. (for the record I'm a wild-only player.) It seems generally pretty bad, but it's not super awful bad. Once you get your freezes out you can evolve a 4/4 into a 7 drop. Brrloc gets pulled from Curator (which I think is pretty good in evolve shaman as it tutors Jeweled Scarab or Pantry Spider into your hand, and Azure Drake is a good card to evolve as well). And freeze is generally okay as an effect, I'd say lategame wise not actually that much worse than hard removal as far as tempo goes. Freezing a tirion is fun.

I've been playing the DK in murloc paladin. I have exactly 0 other paladin legends but I took anyfin to rank 5 a few seasons ago with relative ease, it's a strong deck even without sunkeeper, and DK is actually great, it's a heal for 10 + justicar trueheart that spawns tokens with super soft taunt.

Tried rotface in patron warrior, including the draw 2 weapons card + the new 2/2 double whirlwind weapon. Seems pretty good.

Aside from that, I tried mill warlock. Basically what happens is either you lose or you manage to give them a howlfiend then defile the entire board, they discard their whole hand, and they concede.

I don't know the standard meta, but my impression is if your control deck doesn't have the reach to beat Jade Druid after nuking their idols, then your control deck isn't that good anyway. And if your aggro deck isn't killing Jade Druid fast enough-- well, aggro shouldn't be running geist, what am I saying.

@geist debate

My deck is pure value and the only time I lose to jade Druid is when we get to fatigue and my deck is empty while theirs is full of jade idols.

I tech in one Geist and my win rate vs jade Druid basically doubled

I had a warlock get that as his random summon with the 'deal 2 damage if it dies summon a random demon' card when i was playing berserker warrior, and then he didn't kill it against my minion after I hit it once

discarding the rest of his hand (including a doomguard) felt reeeeeeeal good

I think in all I had 73 packs? all the free 1s and 70 from gold I had farmed and I bought a 3 pack,

I got thrall, jaina, rotface and blood-queen lana'thel. I seemed to have got an unusual amount epics, most of them duplicates and that combined with the dust I already had I crafted the lich king.

it takes me forever to be able to tweak a consistent winneable deck, I am just not the best at deck building. but I am having a lot of fun tho.

the solo adventures are a nice f2p addition and a way to earn more free decks.
whew!

Love this expansion.
Opened Scourgelord Garrosh and got Gul'dan from the prologue - Garrosh is underwhelming but Gul'dan is fantastic and I'm playing both Wild and Standard using him.

Does the meta seem like it's settled yet? I've got 2k dust lying around and I want to know if I should craft Kazakus or the Lich King to play Warlock in either format. I'd just go for it normally but Priest seems sort of ridiculous in Wild right now and I'm the kind of baby that needs assurance that I'm crafting cards that I'll get a lot of mileage out of.

At least last season, half of tier 1 in wild was reno-kazakus. So now if standard also has a kazakus deck, it's possibly a must craft.

I crafted Kazakus a little while ago.
I am angry at myself for not doing this sooner - he's amazing.

Good tips ty.

Based on the streamers I watch, legend meta right now is Murloc Pally, because it beats Druid, and then Druid, because it beats everything else.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
