I was wondering what you guys think is better in Cubelock, Prince Taldaram or Spiritsinger Umbra. I'm leaning toward the Prince, because I think it's a little more versatile. Please share your opinion.
I think the prince is better for the exact reason you stated: Flexibility. Umbra can only be used for a combo of 4 minions ( Carnivorous Cube and Possessed Lackey ) and you can only do it on 9 mana. until then, Umbra might be a dead caard in your hand.
Prince Taldaram is easier to combo and can also be used on opponent's minions (if you don't have a proper target) saving your life (like a 3/3 patches against aggro).
So you ask whether it is playable besides the deck it is playable in? No, it isn't. There are presently no decks it is played except for Big Druid and Big Warrior. It has been played in Dragon warrior and also Dragon Priest as an emergency plan. But nowadays the big Dragons usually are found via Netherspite Historian .
BUT Deathwing always is on the border between playable and non-playable. So I'd keep him if you do not necessarily Need the dust. And when you always disenchant your legendaries that are only usable in specific decks you are not yet able to build (due to other missing cards), you will never be able to build these decks. Deathwing could be your first step to build a BIG Druid/Priest/Warrior...
I think Twig is not seeing play because Kun is still in Standard, but after that I can see it working in some combo decks. I too got Twig from my log in and I'm keeping it.
Yip, I think he'll be an important Warrior leg so keep it as well.
How does Kun the Forgotten King replace Twig of the World Tree ? Since Aviana is not in Standard, Kun can't serve the same purpose. He is merely a free 7/7 (or a 10 armor gain against burst decks), but he cannot enable any combo beyond 10 mana. If the twig is not played now, then rotating Kun will not make the twig playable. There needs to be something completely different new in the new expansion.
If I buy Naxxaramas only for dust value, wich epics and legendaries should I consider DE?
well if you're only going for dust I'd say dust em all
The OP should answer most of your questions. Stay off Loatheb, probabbly kelthu and fuegen/stalagg if you are not into N'zoth experminets. The 2 others and the epics see very little play.
Scientist, Creeper, belcher and deathlord are very strong card, and define a lot in the Wild format.
So, I know that I 'should wait' but i have 1600 dust. I wanted to craft Jaina, then I heard on a podcast that since everyone will run weapon soon it will be wise to craft Harrison Jones. What you think?
Is it better to wait, or are any of these a safe bet to craft right away? Thnx.
Harrison Jones is a legendary that is one of the most easy to replace. Acidic Swamp Ooze does the job equally good and for less mana (so potentially also much earlier in the game or in combination with other cards). The card draw is nice, but not the main reason to run Harrison.
In conclusion, as long as you want to spend your dust careful, better wait. If you don't mind the dust, craft whatever you want.
Disclaimer: I crafted Harrison Jones long time ago.
I wouldn't call dr boom tier 1. I have played a lot of wild and you almost never see it except maybe at really low ranks by players who think it's as good as it was in the past. it's just not a tier 1 card anymore, maybe tier 3.
I dont think they really looked into wild
Whether they looked or not, Dr. Boom is still the best unconditional 7 drop in the game. Including the damage of the boom bots, he has the best stat to mana ratio in the game. Better than Savannah Highmane, better than Bonemare and better than Twin Emperor Vek'lor . You have him on turn 7, playing him is almost always correct. He is a tier 1 legendary.
is there a reason why you believe this? if you look at the tempo storm wild meta snapshot, https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/meta-snapshot/wild/2017-10-28 , dr boom is only used in tier 3 decks and below. it isnt even used in reno decks, which shows a lot because in highlander decks, you would assume a strong singleton legendary would be useful. It's just a card that used to be good and is trash now. it's irresponsible to recommend anyone craft dr boom these days.
I told you my reasons. Unconditional and best stats for 7 drop. Whether he is used only in tier 3 decks (which can change since they are meta dependent) does not really matter for the strength of a specific card. However, he is a staple in midrange decks (mage, Paladin and hunter) that are fit for the meta. And not only Tier 1 decks have Tier 1 legendaries. Jade Druid for example is Tier 3 in wild, but Malfurion the Pestilent is still a good card for a wild Jade Druid.
And while it is right that Highlander decks should easier include him, both highlander decks do now have a more synergistic gameplan. Highlander Priest and Renolock use their deathknights as winconditions. So there is much less space for good standalone cards. Removal and synergy is more important for them. In the Reno mage deck he is used btw.(Tier 2).
The rest of the high tier decks in wild are all aggro which curve out at 5 mana. Plus the token Paladin, which I used two months ago to get to legend on wild. And I used Dr. Boom with success. Calling him trash is simply wrong. I'll give you that he is not that good as he once was. He is still a great legendary though. And since he is neutral, he can be used in a lot of decks to replace other cards someone might not have.
