Quest Hunter may lose to certain decks but it is still a brain-dead idiot deck that should not exist. When it works, you simply die to spells on turn 7. Little to nothing you do matters. There is no interaction with your opponent.
I decided to join the dark side and craft the Hunter legendaries for the quest deck. I found out very quickly that is is NOT a brain-dead idiot deck. I lost most of my first games until I figured out how to play it.
You have to mulligan hard for Drek'Thar and/or Tavish. Drek'Thar is a huge swing to play on turn 4, but you have to have him on Turn 4.
Tavish's hero power will not go to zero if you complete the second stage of the quest before playing him. Your best option against Control Warrior is to have a zero-mana Summon Pet hero power.
It's NOT an aggro deck, because you have to use spells to control the board in the beginning. Aggro decks just go face. You have to manage card resources carefully. If you use all your resources to destroy a Mech Mage's board (for instance), you might not have enough to kill her face. And you must destroy the Mech Mage's board.
I was shocked at how difficult it was to play after having been run over by so many Quest Hunters.
good luck, its way too much complex language for no valid reasons
I have a high level of French, but I often struggle to understand fast, colloquial speech, especially since I don't practice a lot. Based on the first video, I find this guy's French is really good for non-native speakers. He uses pretty standard language and pronounces clearly. He has a regional accent that seems easier to understand than Parisian.
A beginner might be able to understand a little. The subtitles help. You have to learn the French names of the cards to follow what's he's talking about.
I'm trying to get to Diamond 5 as a budget player with Pirate Warrior, and I've only won one game against Quest Hunter.
Which decks have a positive win rate against them? Seriously, I am curious. They are about 40% of the meta, and I can't advance unless I can beat them.
The Sunken City meta is the easiest one I've seen in a very long time. I've gotten a 9-win and two 11-wins already. Druid and Demon Hunter are crazy.
This deck has tons of removal and value. I'd say [edit] Iron Deep Dwarf (who am I kidding) Goliath was MVP. As usual for Arena, card generation is key: I won my last game by discovering Xhilag of the Abyss from Amalgam of the Deep.
Got a filthy gold common as a reward. In my last 11-win run I got only gold. Is it possible that the rewards get worse at 12 wins?
I just completed a long and painful slog from Diamond 10 to 5. I saw a lot of Kazakusan Druid. I also saw a lot of other decks. There was a lot of diversity out there. Demon Hunter w/ quest/hero card/Kazakusan, Quest Hunter with and without secrets and Face Hunter, both Shadow and Quest Priest, Big spell Mage and Wildfire Mage, SI:7 Rogue, Pirate Warrior and Control Warrior with Kazakusan, Shaman with quest or no quest, Doomhammer, and/or freeze, Libram and Buff Paladin, non-Kazakusan Druids including Taunt, Beast w/ Kazakusan and some other variations.
It was my budget account, and I was able to get most of the cards to play Libram Paladin. Cariel's weapon is a counter to many of the decks out there, including Kazakusan's face damage cards. I added in Lord Barov, one Equality, one Consecration because there were so many big minions being made.
I would say that Kazakusan has been good for the meta health based on the variety of decks being played.
Collection shows all cards acquired since Alterac min-expansion as NEW upon restarting Hearthstone even when the highlighting was removed in the previous session.
All cards I've acquired since the mini-expansion arrived are highlighted as "NEW" again whenever I open Hearthstone. They are marked as "NEW" even after I removed the highlighting in my previous session.
I see that the update has not fixed this.
This is annoying, and it makes it harder to manage my collection.
My best finish in the Darkmoon meta by far, as I've been doing badly. I've foregone HearthArena. Now I'm just using HSReplay and mostly picking the highest ranked card.
Actually got gold, and only gold. For once, some generosity.
I've just played three runs of Demon Hunter, and I don't understand how it ranks so highly. I've got 2-4-1 wins.
My average win over the last five years is 4.79 (according to my HearthArena stats). I have plenty of 12-win runs recorded on this site. That is above average, although I am obviously not a genius player.
My analysis is that value is winning games in this Arena meta, not aggro or tempo. Most classes can easily deal with low-health minions, and DH's minions are all low-health. DH cannot generate sufficient value to compete in the late game, and it can't produce enough damage to kill in the mid-game. It is incredibly common for decks to drop large taunt minions every round starting at round seven. Demon Hunter does not have the tools in its class to deal with unending high-health minions, or the refill to deal with unending board clears, and that is what I'm encountering.
In my last draft I took every scrap of card draw available to me, and I still couldn't compete on cards against my opponents. My last Mage opponent in my last run cast three board clears while also generating six spells into her hand.
Card generation, high-health minions, removal: that is what's working, not spewing out a bunch of 2-3 health minions and a couple of weapons.

You may be surprised to learn that Deeprun Engineer is not always offered in draft.

I haven't ranked to level 60 in Demon Hunter.
After the next update, will I still have the chance to unlock my remaining golden Demon Hunter classic cards/

Agreed.
It doesn't make sense from a marketing perspective. It detracts from the addictive quality of card reveals, which I thought they wanted.

The golden Tyrande animation now has blinking lines running across it. They seem to have appeared after the latest update.
Are they supposed to be there or is there a new glitch?

My first 12-win run during Scholomance Academy. This may be my first 12-win run without using HearthArena.
Forgot to screen-shot my rewards. Got two golden rares. Hoo-rah.

Demon Hunter anyone? They are guaranteed two Glaives and an Inner Demon as a finisher.
