Hard to play highlander in Wild on a budget, maybe check out Corruption Warlocks?

Rewards are hilarious..For 7 victories I've got one pack+70gold+40 dust ..that's just a little bit more than Break-even

 

 Yeah, zero reasons to play this shit format.

After a number of games against Warlocks, I can say that as a Control player I do not like being on the receiving end of Tickatus. Feels like I'm being punished for enjoying slow Control decks. There just isn't anything fun about not being able to play my own cards and watching them get destroyed while I cannot do anything about it.

 Blizzard has always hated control and promoted aggro and combo decks above everything else. Even Zephrys and Alex have been nearly destroyed by algorithm changes and a nerf respectively. 

The lack of interrupts and blockers alone should tell you the game designer's priorities and preferred playstyles.

Wow, the paid Tavern Pass xp track rewards are extremely disappointing - it is literally only the hero portraits and coin/cardback with a bit of XP boosts while you progress.

Really no incentive to buy that unless you are a cosmetic completionist.

Every other CCG I've seen with a similar system has extra packs and gold in the premium track.

Won't be buying this pass. Free rewards are great though (as long as you play enough to unlock them!).

I'm assuming Annhylde is the premium battlepass-only hero protrait and Thrall and Jaina are hero portraits with three separate tiers upgraded by increasing levels in the XP track for both free and premium players.

Yeah, there will definitely be in-track rewards beyond the portraits and cardback/coin.

The way companies usually structure the rewards in these battlepass XP tracks is to offer enough value to appeal to both premium and f2p players.

They tempt f2p players to pay for the pass because it is cheaper than the preorder bundles and if they are going to grind many games each season, f2p players will worry they are 'missing out' on the rewards the paid track will unlock with the XP they will earn anyway.

Premium players usually want these battlepasses for the cosmetics and because they have to play less to unlock the full value of the xp track - which is usually a better dollar to dust value than preorder bundles anyway.

Good luck on your quest! I've never missed a season cardback but I'm still using Rainbow six years later because it is the best! :)

This eyeball one is meh, think I'd rather have 5 packs of the next expansion from the gold.

I think the problems with SA are less about the card's power level and more about the restriction of design space and heathstone's inherent limitation as a CCG without an interrupt phase causing the card to be a recurrent problem even while Mage as a class isn't seeing particularly high winrates or metashare.

Cards like SA and Evocation would be no issue in MTG but with Hearthstone the devs gotta ask themselves of every mage card they print - will this break the game with Sorcerer's Apprentice in play? What about in a more complex combo with SA and something else? 

Will it make for the kind of funish but gimmicky and class-defining deck like Exodia mage or something mind-numbingly degenerate like Casino mage? 

Clearly, they don't always get it right but have so far chosen to nerf other cards instead of SA and since it remains evergreen, it stands to reason it will continue to be a problem that limits the class and leads to card nerfs elsewhere.

i.e. I think SA is probably the reason mage has not had many low-cost spells printed or seen any real cantrip decks without restrictions like 'no minions' to avoid the kind of problems Evocation has caused in conjunction with SA while unfortunately excluding interesting cards like Chenvalla from play.

Personally, as a Mage main who loves low-cost spells and cantrip decks, I would happily trade away Sorcerer's Apprentice (a card I use in every deck) as it is now for a different version and expanded card and archetype possibilities for the class in the future.

Just went up against Token Druid that had had Gibberling into Embiggen into Lightning Bloom+coin and end with Viracious Reader on turn 1. AGAIN!!!!! HOW DO MY OPPONENTS ALWAYS GET SO FUCKING LUCKY!? I SWARE I HAVE A CURSE

The devs have been taking lessons from other (arguably manipulative) mobile games, everything has to be clicked now, forces your brain to acknowledge the reward, spurs you on for more.

It would have made more sense if it worked the way you presumed it would... boils down to pointless clicking.

The odd one has XP with it, otherwise it appears you're not missing anything.

Yep, it was available 5 days ago even. I think it's weird that no one 'eyed' this cardback and it's nothing weird in regular extra-promotion from Blizzard. 

I'm really looking forward to obtain the rainbow card-back from 2014 for all costs :D Guess the suitable theme would be something about centaurs.

Give him detention. That should show him.

Lackeys + Quest ---> I think you should add 2x Weaponized Wasp then

Good for you! I only got three, namely Temporus, Rokh'Delar,that chameleon thing. Also about 1400Dust. Not as good but now I have all Rares/Commons from those Sets at least. And Rokh'Delar could at least see play someday.

Still, it is a good deal and I agree with the notion of some here that it should stay to kickstart people into wild.

Those are trash tbh

Kalimos: Was played but super slow for today. It is one of my favorite cards. I pushed that card many times but no, doesn't work.

Putricide: Above trash tier but no one plays it today. Maybe you can use it in a fringe secret hunter with subject 5.

Morrigan: Joke card

Woecleaver: The most promising card of all. Big warriors use that

Azalina: Was played in tog decks but tog priest got a new toy over her (Murozond). Only Tog druids use her. The problem is, any other combo druid is a better form of Tog Druid.

Noggenfogger: Play in big priest to frustrate people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frJb0GWlKFU&
