    That actually would be nice and avoid farmers at low rank (maybe)

    something like 15+ 12g / 10+ 14g / 5+ 15g

    posted a message on Which DK you like the most? And which one would you craft with your dust?

    For the moment I got most mileage from

    Anduin DK - viable powerfull and fun but supporting deck are expensive

    Rogue DK - just because I like it

    Druid DK - The card itself is average but the current card pool in druid is good

    Almost never see mage DK in ladder

    posted a message on Annoying NEW CARD tag in the collection manager

    I think it because I play in three different media.

    Mobile / tablet and PC Often new cards checked in one platforme will appear as new. And then if I switch again they appear new again

    The bug is probably coming due to some issue with the refresh time of Blizzard for card view.

    I'm actually really confused about the inclusion of the Curator. Is drawing your coldlights really that much of a problem throughout the game? Or is it more like an anti-aggro thing with added benefits?

     Coldlight is the only draw of the deck, not getting it by turn 15 meaning losing the game. Curator is a must include.
    Quote from finniggann >>

    so as a long time mill player, standard mill has one big problem, it does not have more cards than it's opponent. There are a few options to fix this. 1. Malchezaar, I don't like it because the deck for mill is a tightly oiled machine, and throwing in random legendaries can hurt a lot more than the five cards helps, especially in standard.  2. Elise, Getting several un'goro packs gives value, and it is possible to do, but it is clunky and similar to malchezaar but with more effort. 3. Shadoblade, Decent card grants immunity, you can then go coldlight coldlight shadowstep coldlight to finish off people, that is a decent way of doing things. 4. Violet illusionist, Literally just like shadowblade, except on a minion.

    I would run both shadowblade and violet illusionist if you can find room. 

    Next up to look at is how you get to your combo, that means draw, and survivability. As a mill deck draw is less of an option, but running lots of bounces turns coldlight into more consistent draw than normal. The curator is also a good choice because it is a tutor effect for coldlight, and one draw card is not going to hurt the plan much, since most decks you are targeting have more than one draw anyway. One thing I might suggest is cutting a gadgetzan ferryman, and adding a brewmaster, brewmaster is just a better card in most scenarios. 

    The issue of survivability here is addressed by tar creeper and a glacial shard, as well as vanish. I would run a plague doctor and pyromancer cutting both preps, maybe a sap, and the shadowcaster. 2 vilespine would also help more than the glacial shard, so cut the glacial shard for that. 

    that leaves no room for the violet illusionist, which is I guess fine, but it brings up the problem with standard mill rogue. In standard you don't have as many copy effects so you have to run more bounce, and that fills up more space. you basically can't afford to use shadowstep as freely in standard because of no gang up, and you can't run as much survival as you need, plus you have no healbots, which hurts the deck. When you add in needing a skulking geist you basically run out of slots fast, and can't fit the whole deck you need to be able to win. I personally suggest spending the 560 dust total for sludge belcher, death lord, healbot, and gang up for wild mill rogue. You can then cut the bounce other than shadowstep, and I have been getting away with no draw other than coldlight, because having as many ways to clear board and keep control as you have means you can afford to wait for moments when you can coldlight safely.

    I like the attempt to make standard mill rogue work, but without as many taunts, any heal, and easy deck thickening, you can't compete well enough to get very far. In standard a mill warrior with dead man's hand, removal, taunts and coldlights is almost decent, but the meta makes it harder on you in standard anyway.

     After trying Illusionist and shadowblade in different quantities I found that the Shadowblade the better solution. As we have most of the time no board to speak of, the illusionist just represent a free dagger ping. Even in a fatigue situation where we would need here to stick on turn to avoid dying, the opponent will have a hand full of removal that he did not use during the game, to get rid of it.
    I don't think elise is necessary, with the new DK in standart having more cards than you adversary is not that important anymore. Most of the time I die with 10 to 5 cards remaining before reaching fatigue on both side. The problem is not dying. If I can reach 2/3 cards or fatigue the game is mostly won already.
    For Shadow caster I am in the same bord as you and the card may not make the cut. The only interesting thing from that card is that it duplicate murloc and give it a 1 mana cost. I often find myself hoarding 1 mana cost murloc to play them at the lethal turn or big mill turn.
    • murloc (1) + shadow murloc (3) + vanish (6) = 10 if you add a prep it allows you to play the free duplicated murloc during that turn.
    • Shadowblade (3) + murloc (1) + shadow murloc (3) + murloc (3) = 10 mana. From 0 cards in the deck it make for exactly 28 damage instead of only 15.

    That extra murloc you can pull during the lethal turn often makes the difference between loosing and winning.

    I will replace one ferryman for one brew master. And see the difference

    glacial shard or vilepine, I used to run two vilespine and found myserf either dying or winning with one still in hand or not been able to activate the combo in the early turns. So I replaced one for one shard. Maybe when I get to higher rank with more control I could replace it with a second vilespine.

    I could go play mill rogue in wild. I have all the cards already but I like the challenge of trying to do that in standard. I am tempted for mill warrior too, but one archetype at a time. I don't have that much play time. Maybe next month.

    Thank for your post, it was very interesting. I am still new to that kind of archetype and probably making a lot of missplay. steep learning curve that deck

    I don't feel like you really need the pyro combo.  I've been having success with this list, writeup is included if you click the title.

     Thanks to everyone input, we have now some different built of workable Mill rogue
    Below is the version I am using now. Definitely the hardest rogue archetype I ever played. Need to plan hand size management 2 or 3 turn in advance
    Murloc have to be jumping all around the place !

    A korean guy played mill rogue an asian serveur from ~1000 to legend 300 yesterday but then stopped. Valeera is the strongest enabler for mill rogue in standart

    1 mana murloc + shadow reflexion into vanish is really strong and dublicate your murloc. Almost the same effect as gang up but the murloc end-up in you hand.

    posted a message on Ultimate Infestation... needs to be changed

    The probleme with this card is that it's on level of a Kazakus 10 mana potion or slightly better and do not need to play a higlander deck, do not need to spent a turn play Kazakus before you can get the effet and you can run 2 in one deck.

    The only draw back is the lack of flexibility of the card

    posted a message on How's Valeera The Hollow fairing?

    If you are not a rogue player better hold before crafting anything to make a full rogue deck if you do it only to play Valeera the hollow.

    She is good but not meta defining. Last I checked Mr.Yagut did not play her in his rogue decks.

    Now the card has potential if appear a more controlish / combo rogue so I don't think she warrant a dusting

    posted a message on How Important Is The Black Knight Right Now?

    This year gave us so many taunt and so many good one. Almost every class is playing at least on. Even token druid and token shaman are running taunt now. So I would go ahead and craft it, should be ok.

    Evol shaman don't need it. But if The lich king stays a staple of this meta then druid will probably need it.

    King Mukla as well surely to fill their hand with bananas? 

     Maybe
    King Mukla was much stronger with brann, because 4 cards really fills a hand and you still had enough mana to play double oracle. at least it gives you a strong body

    Quote from iFaisal11 >>
     Mage is better than Shaman IMO.
    Shaman relies on pure RNG well Mage can have lifesteal ( a permenant effect ) deal 1 dmg and when it kill some1 summon a 3/6 lifesteal minion, thats better than having a battlecry that requires u to control the board, if u r losing the board then shaman's hero power is completely useless.
     We will see, maybe the leaning curve is higher with the mage DK, for the moment I had opponent trying to optimist the hero power effect. By the time they generate enough value to gain board control they lost already. Feels like a win more cards, fun to play if you are aleardy winning but won't win you the game if you are behind already
    Maybe shaman DK feels strong because evolv shaman was already a tier 1 deck before expansion

    posted a message on Sindragosa DK rouge or DK priest?

    In the current meta state I would recommend Shadowreaper Anduin.

    A good card all around, and with a strong battle cry effect.

    Elemental mage seems kind of underwhelming and slow and most rogue deck already cut Valeera.

    For the moment the best DK seems to be

    Priest / druid / shaman tier 1

    Rogue / paladin / warlock tier 2

    mage tier 3

    Guerrier / hunter tier 4
