to climb the ladder you need win rate above 50%. If we are taking to account like 50 000 games odd hunt has about 49.57% for last days/week,  about 49% for shaman (300 000 games). And only Keleseth warrior has 57% win rate but this number isn't stable because we have 400 games only. that means, sir, your statement and analysis are incorrect

You do realize that the winrates posted here, or on other 3rd party sites are confined solely to participating samplers, right?  Blizzard would have *all* the data, which they don't share.

That'll be a solid anti-aggro tool for just about everyone.  It should see more love after April when it's not competing against Prince Keleseth.

You've gotten good advice, but I'd add one more point.

Don't invest any more dust into anything unless you absolutely want those cards as core components of decks for awhile.  A new set is arriving in just about 3 weeks.  You don't want to be dead empty when it arrives, staring longingly at new epics and legendaries with no dust to get them.

No disagreement.  In decks that can either grant Rush (very few, I think Houndmaster Shaw is all I can think of short of the incredibly awesome Rocket Boots), it's okay at face value.  Otherwise, like I said..  needs support and/or cost discounting.

Ticket Scalper pretty much just becomes a soft Taunt card.  People won't want to leave up something with a 5/3 stat line in general.  Something that could get them cards AND trade well?  It looks like a decent card.

Heavy Metal on the other hand just feels lacklustre.  Geosculptor Yip is barely relevant in the meta now.  Somehow a poor man's version with no statline for only 2 less mana seems pretty 'eh'.  Unless there's support or cost reduction in the offing, that one's a pack filler.

I'm not sure what part of this post makes me sorriest.  The edgy boi composition?  The terrible spelling and grammar?  The fact that he uses superfluous Us in words like I do, likely marking him as Canadian like me or as being from another Commonwealth nation?  Nah, nah..  probably the fact that sweet edgy-named WeedBeans thinks that his judgment means even a tenth as much as the hard work that the Hearthpwn staff put in, much less that anyone will give enough of a shit about his opinion to change their patronage and opinion of the site.

If you came for the memes, you got lost on your way to Reddit or KnowYourMeme.com.  Run along. 

Agree.  Nicest one I've seen in a year.  Everyone loved that lemonade one.  I thought the BlizzCon back was gorgeous and was a little sad that it was attached to the virtual ticket that I had no interest in paying for.

400 dust.  But close enough.

 I'm not going to shriek 'greeeedy' as some folks have, but I do find Blizzard's inconsistency on the pre-order rewards a little frustrating.  Let's review recent history.  All come with card backs, so that's not worth mentioning really.

The Boomsday Project - ~$1 USD per pack, 2 order choices (50 or 80), bonus legendary card for pre-order, vanity hero on $80 order
The Witchwood - ~$0.72 USD per pack, 1 order choice
Kobolds & Catacombs, Knights of the Frozen Throne, Journey to Un'Goro - all were $1 USD per pack, 1 order choice

Rastakhan's Rumble - $1 USD per pack, 2 order choices (17 packs for $20, 50 for $50), vanity hero on $50 order

I can see where people are mad.  At the same time, this is them listening to the community when we got pissed about Jaraxxus being attached to a 'super sized order only'.  I too would like extra free stuff in the form of legendaries or extra packs.  But let's be real.  Blizzard is giving you a vanity hero for what you used to just pay for a pack pre-order.

Could actually be decent and could also give weapon cost reduction effects a reason to be.

A weapon that can plausibly blow out minions AND hit face in the same round might be decent.

I'm getting shades of Rin, the First Disciple here.  Looks slow.  Looks terrible on first blush.  And yet, I imagine supporting things will come and/or it'll be proven surprisingly better than it looks.

Dear god.  Pirates are coming back.  IT'S ALL HAPPENING AGAIN!

I think you forgot to count the personal rewards. 

 Actually, what I was counting *were* just the personal rewards.  I missed the tiered community ones.  SMH.  Back to finish my tea for the morning.

 No. you need to cheer 2500 bits (basically spend $30 or so for 34 card packs including one golden card pack and a card back)

34 packs?  I see 23.  How'd you get to 34?  You get 8 Classic packs between tiers 2 and 4, 2 Witchwood on 5, 2 Boomsday on 7 and the 'Get In Here Bundle' which is 10 packs on 9.  The golden pack gets me to 23.  Where's the other 11 coming from?

If Blizz holds true to form, probably a week or two before Christmas.
