Actually, most people don’t really play Duels very much. I make these articles to unite those of us that still do!

JustACheetah posted a message on XP Achievement Guide - Forged in the BarrensPosted in: General DiscussionGuide to complete all the achievements from Forged in the Barrens that will grant you XP
Hi guys! I just made this guide. Hope it's useful for you. (I think the order of the achievements, especially the Neutral ones, is different on everyone, so keep that in mind). Many of the achievement this expansion is very straight forward, and therefore can't be done with a few games. But I will try to help you getting as many of them as possible - with the help of you guys as well. This guide will be updated once new inputs on the achievements appear in the comments.
Demon Hunter: (These can be done at the same time)
- Destroy 30 minions with Kurtrus Ashfallen: Play Kurtrus Ashfallen.
- Summon 50 Deathrattle minions without playing them, as Demon Hunter: Play Death Speaker Blackthorn with the deathrattle package. You can also play Wild using N'Zoth, the Corruptor to summon Deathrattle minions, and also Carnivorous Cube. (Thanks to TheHiddenNinja7)
- Trigger 20/60/200 Sigils: Play Sigil of Flame + Sigil of Silence.
Play everything in the same deck and you will eventually get all three achievements.
Druid:
- Play 5 cards in a single turn that naturally cost 8 or more: play a deck with Celestial Alignment and many 8+ cost cards.
- Cast 5 Druid Nature spells in a single turn, 25 times: Play Token Druid, and this will come to you over time.
- Copy 5/20/50 minions with Plaguemaw the Rotting: Play a deck filled with taunts and this card. You can also copy the Plaguemaw using Faceless Manipulator Germination and Zola the Gorgon. (Thanks to TheHiddenNinja7)
Hunter:
-
Trigger the Frenzy on a 5th-generation Sunscale Raptor: Play a deck with a lot of small spells so that you can get the Frenzy-effect guaranteed, and draw the Raptor with Scavenger's Ingenuity. You have to be a bit lucky, but it's doable. You can also draw with Warsong Wrangler and Master's Call. (Thanks to TheHiddenNinja7)
-
Summon 10/30/75 Beasts with Tavish Stormpike: Play a Beast deck with the card, and you will get this in a few games.
-
Summon 6 Swift Hyenas in a single turn: Play Face Hunter with Kolkar Pack Runner and a lot of small spells. If you have two on board at the same time you only need 3 spells (but remeber to clear space for the 6th one).
Mage:
- Destroy 50 Frozen minions: You can go all in and fill your deck with Freeze spells and damage, such as Cone of Cold, but the most fun way is to play Hero Power Mage with Varden Dawngrasp, and the achievement will come by itself.
- Deal 75/150/300 damage with your Hero Power as Mage: Play Hero Power Mage with Wildfire and Reckless Apprentice.
- Refresh 8 Mana Crystals with Refreshing Spring Water in a single turn: Play No Minion Mage and cast two of these in the same turn.
Paladin:
- Buff 60/200/600 minions with Invigorating Sermon: Use this card in Libram Paladin, and the achievement will come by itself. It buffs your entire deck, so it will go faster than you think.
- Cast 5 Paladin Holy spells in a single turn, 15 times: Play Secret Libram Paladin.
- Trigger 5 Paladin Secrets in one turn: Play a throw away game in wild. Wait until your opponent has a 3+ attack minion. Play any minion + Reckoning, Noble Sacrifice, Avenge, Redemption and Getaway Kodo. All 5 trigger on the minion's attack. (Thanks to SneezyDwarf_18710)
Priest:
- Attack and kill the drained minion with Serena Bloodfeather, 5 times: For the priest achievement with Serena Bloodfeather, since the card is total garbage and you don't want to play a deck with her I suggest you also do it in Duels. Just put her and Animated Broomstick in your deck and wait till you draw both. Should be fairly easy in the first 1-2 rounds where your deck is quite small, especially with the heal/draw hero power. (Thanks to SirJohn13)
- Start 5/20/50 turns with a full hand as Priest: draw as many cards as you can early-game, so that you end each turn with 9 cards. You don't have to overdraw for this achievement. Drawing the 10th card at the start of your turn is enough.
- Restore 40 Health to heroes in one game as Priest: Fill your deck with healing cards, especially Desperate Prayer, as you heal the opponent hero as well.
Rogue:
- Play 6/9/12 cards in a single turn as Rogue: Play Miracle or Weapon Rogue, or fill your deck with 0-2 cost cards + Secret Passage. You also need Shadowstep and preferably Tenwu of the Red Smoke.
- Coat a Swinetusk Shank in 4 different Poisions: Play a deck with the Shank and all the poisions, and do not attack (So that your Weapon lives). You can also save all the different Poisons in your hand so that you guarantee to play all 4 on the same weapon.
- Yoink! All 10 Hero Powers: Play Yoink! and keep track of which Hero Powers you already have selected.
Shaman:
- Deal 30/60/150 extra damage with Nature spells: SPELL DAMAGE and Nature spells together. Hint: Bru'kan!
- Destroy 50 enemies with Murlocs as Shaman: Play Murloc Shaman (even though it's not good at all) and focus on trading and killing minions instead of going face.
- Play an Elemental 5 turns in a row: Play Elemental Shaman or fill your deck with Elementals. Then count your turns and play only Elementals.
Warlock:
- Summon 25/100/250 Imps: Play Discard Warlock and end the game with Neeru Fireblade. Throw in Fiendish Circle and Imp Swarm (Rank 1) to get even more Imps per game. You can also play duels with the passive hero power Soulcial Studies that summons an imp for every soul fragment card played. (thanks to SirJohn13)
- Cast 80 0-Cost Warlock Shadow spells: Play Tamsin Roame. You can also play Wild and use Supreme Archaeology and Wilfred Fizzlebang. If you don't have these cards, there are a few Shadow spells that originally cost 0, such as Raise Dead and Ritual of Doom.
- Destroy 3 Legendary cards with a single Altar of Fire: Play a deck with only Legendaries (easier in Wild) + Altar of Fire. Easily done in 1 or 2 games.
Warrior:
- Use Bulk Up to create a 4th copy of the same minion in your hand: Play a deck with only one Taunt minion with 2 copies of it. Draw both minions, then play 2 Bulk Up. You can play a Taunt with Rush (Ruststeed Raider) and draw them with Stage Dive.
- Gain 14 Armor with a single Rancor: You can go for luck, or play a Wild deck with Mad Summoner followed up with Rancor.
- Have 10/40/100 friendly minions survive damage on your turn, as Warrior: Play Frenzy or Rush Warrior, or go to Wild and use Risky Skipper.
Neutral:
- Play 15/50 Watch Posts: Play a deck with Watch Posts, and this will come automatically.
- Build costum Golems using 6/9/12 different herbs: Play Kazakus, Golem Shaper and keep track of every herb you have used.
- Cast 10/40/100 Rank 3 spells: Play any deck with a Rank spell, and this will come to you.
- Trigger 10/40/100 Frenzy effects: Play Frenzy Warrior, or fill a deck with Frenzy cards and play a few meme games in rank 10 or 5 (so that you don't lose rank).
- End your turn with 7 Gruntled Patrons: Play Warrior Duels and choose Spiked Arms. Summon a Gruntled Patron while the weapon is equipped. (Thanks to Greym1)
- Destroy 25 minions with Venomous Scorpid: Play the card, and this will come.
- Start 10/40/100 turns with a Caravan: This is boring. No class has more than 2 copies of a Caravan, so if you want the achievement I suggest you play a good deck with the calss you chose, and put two copies of Caravan into your deck. This will slowly give you the achievement.
- Find Mankrik's Wife + get lethal damage with the summoned Mankrik: Just play Mankrik, and this will eventually come. I will suggest Shuffle Rogue, as you can get more Mankriks in your deck.
- Copy 5 Secrets with a single Horde Operative: Very hard. Play it in your deck against Secret Paladin and you might be lucky.
- Swap a 0-Cost minion with a 10-Cost minion with Shadow Hunter Vol'jin: Easy. Make a deck with only 0-Cost and 10-Cost cards + Vol'jin, and you can swap your own minion. This is easy because you can guarantee it to hit a 10-Cost in you hand by playing all the 0-cost first. There aren't that many 0-cost minions, so fill the rest of the deck with spells so they won't interrupt.
- Summon 50 Demonspawn with Burning Blade Acolyte: I suggest you put this in a Wild Deathrattle deck, because then you can trigger the Deathrattle several times with spells etc.
- Summon 50 Hogs with Hog Rancher: Put this in your deck and play. To get this a bit faster, play Battlecry Shaman in Wild to get two copies played every time, or a Rogue deck where you can play it several times with cards such as Shadowstep.
- Summon a 10-Cost minion with Primordial Protector: Use the Primordial Protector in a Clown Druid drawing Survival of the Fittest or in a Primordial Hunter drawing Nagrand Slam.

Asharai posted a message on XP Achievement Guide - Forged in the BarrensPosted in: General DiscussionFor Rogue achievement with Yoink! card, if you do not have that card you can play a deck that generates it using:
Wandmaker
Venomous Scorpid
Steward of ScrollsAnd to play them again:
Shadowstep
Youthful Brewmaster
Tenwu of the Red Smoke
Potion of IllusionTry to play several Yoink! in a row because you cannot discover the rogue hero power if you already have it.
Anyone knows what is needed to get the new achievement they added today ?

Elexxtron posted a message on Missing dustPosted in: General DiscussionWrite "extra" in the search window and manually dust the remaining extras. Mass disenchant is taking as extra only third and all the next copies of the card AND OF THE GOLDEN CARDS. So if you have two normal and one golden, Mass disenchant did not dust the second normal one.
