I have to sincerely apologize to those who got involved with this thread.  Given how many people quote Zeddy as some sort of opinion leader, I thought he actually put thought into his content.  I just watched his latest "Top 10 Cards I Cannot Wait to See Rotate to Wild!" video, and I have never seen a more incoherent lack of focus in a piece of media.

Everything is broken, everything is non-interactive.  He argues bomb warrior is broken because it turned off Highlander cards, but Highlander cards are broken and should be gone too.  Control is unplayable because of Galakrond (particularly the Priest Galakrond) which . . . I don't even know where to start.  Convincing Infiltrator is on the list, despite control being unplayable.

Rotnest Drake, Puzzle Box of Yogg, Heistbaron Togwaggle are nowhere to be seen today, yet they have to rotate because they're broken.  Apparently lackies (not the rogue Galakrond, just lackies in general) are infinite value generators, somehow.  Dragonqueen Alex was apparently one of the most broken cards of all time before nerf, "but I know it's not all that great now".

And LACKIES are the worst design choice IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME.  That's a direct quote.

 

If the above seems like a rambling stream of consciousness, that's basically the video in a nutshell.  I now understand what wasn't so obvious in the two videos I critiqued originally in this thread.  Zeddy is a niche creator taking his cues directly from the salt thread, and mines views from people who complain without thinking thru what is being said in the least.  Looking back at who was holding him up on these forums, I guess I should have realized this in the first place, but I get it now.  No more time spent on this guy.

 Saw it too hour or two ago. Dude, you said everything that was on my mind during that video. Zeddy contradicts himself on more than one occasion. 

He dislikes resurrect mechanic in Priest class and says "how can some people play that?". IDK, perhaps we are all different with different tastes, different likes and dislikes? Some people like that, some don't. He was really going on about that (like many other things as well).

I know this isn't the topic, but you can still see his eagerness (if I wrote wrong note that English is my second language, too lazy to check how to spell properly) to shit on everything and everyone.

Just want some opinion on what did you spend Tavern Ticket (a reward you get for reaching level 15 on new Reward and Progression System): Duels or Arena? I didn't play Arena for a very very long time. I played couple of Duels and did a pretty decent winrate with couple of heroes. I'll probably pick Duels with this, but still want to know what you guys chose.

I get that sometimes, but it is a bug. Just go back then enter again and there should be 3 options.

Has anyone encountered this? I got 2 same buckets of cards that you can choose after each fight. I think this should not happen.

 Thanks! :D

Does anyone know when will nerfs come?

Can anyone say when will these be live? Can't find it here.

Thoughts: great nerfs and battleground changes. Totally agree with them.

It has been a little over a week now and I'm wondering if I should still wait or start crafting decks. Have you crafted anything and what kind of deck (competitive meta deck or meme one)? Or are you still waiting for the meta to settle (if it's not) or maybe potential nerfs?

I want to craft because I'm eager to try new stuff and don't want to play "old" decks.

On the other hand I don't want to invest my dust and gold into powerful decks that might be nerfed, and in the way like Kingsbane Rogue was (+40 dust only).

So, yeah. My question above... Wait or no?

Skipping it like every other theorycrafting stream. For me, personally, it ruins the fun of the first day of the expansion when everyone knows what is best because of these streams. There is no more exploring, no fun, no good suprise when most people will copy-paste the decks from streams. They basically decide and make the meta before the expansion is launched. So, yeah...not gonna attend.

I think it should work on any minion (as in mine or opponent's) because Khadgar summons twice as many minions from cards that summon and on Psyche Split it says "summon a copy of it". So, yeah... think it should work.

I thought this should summon me another ooze but it didn't. Is this a bug? Can anyone explain?

Same issue here :(

Talking from my side (since I don't know opponent's hand), I eventually ended up with too much value. This happened because of the Cap'n Hoggarr and Cap'n Hoggarr. At some point I bought pirates for free and just spent gold on refreshing and sometimes I found Freedealing Gambler and even get the gold. So at the end I ended up having 4 -6 extra gold while tripling every single pirate-based minion and finding extras. Finally, I won.

I'm not making any points here, just posting this since there have been some posts stating that pirates are OP and are in a need for a nerf. But as you can also see, Shudderwock also got second place using old strategies. 

I don't know if this helps or proves anything, but if you want to ask me anything on how I got this comp, feel free to ask me.

It is weird because they said you can't generate invoke cards, invoke lovers and galakrond by any means (invoking, through discovering, adding random cards), except by lazul, mind vision, thoughtsteal, ... 

 They changed it in a patch recently - you can now generate Invoke cards in decks that run Galakrond.

 Oh, okay. I think that is great. Just tell me this if you know. Are they going to change this again so that you can't generate these cards or are they going to allow us to generate cards forever?
