WTF Blizzard hunter cards are trash..

The point of being hunter even in WOW is to play on the strength of you beasts and this expansion has even very little beasts for the neutral cards.

Mechs and Magic for Hunters who the heck came up with such a silly idea? The Pandaria / Pokémon Pet Battle teams at Blizzard?

3 spells which have good beast synergy and a decent 1 cost beast. What more do you want?

No hero transformation and a lack of solid 1 drops is extremely disappointing.

Are they now charging for single player mode in this expansion? What happened with just the cards being paid, and the rest being a free bonus?

Also, was there any news on the tournament mode's rework progress? Or has it been canned?

The adventures used to be 700 golds per chapter and have the first being free. Each chapter would gives you 1 card per ennemy, and a legendary if you beat the boss at the end of it. I dunno if there will be the same rewards this time, since they stopped adventures after Karazhan, but I do hope there will be !

If anyone has infos, I'm interested.

Based on this site's picture (https://progameguides.com/hearthstone/rise-of-shadows-launch-guide/) it looks like you'll get 3 Rise of Shadow packs per chapter that costs 700 gold (15 packs total with 5 chapters, the first being free). The last one you probably get 1 classic golden pack where all the cards are golden as well as a Legendary card called "Zayle, Shadow Cloak" that costs 2 mana (but no stats known from the picture). It looks like you get two card backs somehow as well.

Gotta be the worst set so far. Plus, thanks Blizzard for messing up every single deck I ever had saved - now I'm playing with junk.

It's kind of the point to not play old decks anymore when new cards come out and older ones rotate.
Get over yourself!

Fair point. Maybe I was a bit harsh. But, it's annoying that they release these card sets so much more frequently it doesn't give me enough chance to get used to decks I've created. Like, for example, my Priest Keleseth deck - because it obviously relies on that card and now it's gone, it's pretty much useless. And the option to 'convert' the decks is really not that great since it just sticks random cards in to replace others. I've always thought the 'Replace Cards' mechanic was a bit off.

Yeah, I think you're right. But I always afraid of those cards that I was glad to get rid of (like Reno and Entomb etc) that really lifted a weight off my shoulders. Guess it's time to man up and do this thing.

I used to be afraid of Wild. Now it just seems nostalgic and fun to me. Usually, don't run into many BM'ers and have had some fun interactions and conversations. Good luck!

Funny thing though. You say you don't have enough time to get used to certain decks, while the majority was pretty much done with the current meta and needed refreshment. Of which I'm one of those people.

So far I have the feeling that Priest is in a bad spot since the latest expansion but the meta has to settle yet.
Kudo's for expirementing with your own created decks though, instead of going with the top meta decks.

Why is the latest patch still "Level Up Nerf"? Plz change it, it's very infuriating scrolling through decks that are from last year.
