Hi All, With the new expansion coming soon I thought I would share my tips on pack opening! Obviously this whole list is superstition and in no way a certified guide, but nonetheless here are three easy steps to follow:
1. Use a Heroic Card back: After noticing people opening heroes; back in the Outland days I remember people would open epic rogue portraits, I got to thinking that card backs and hero selection can change pack opening luck! Therefore, I strongly advise you to use a Heroic card back: one from Dalaran Heist or Uldum or One night in Karazhan while opening packs.
2. Click in the centre of the pack, never use the space bar and drop your pack into the very centre of the hollow: When selecting each pack to open; remember to click in as close to the centre of each pack as possible: This concentrates your luck directly into the heart of the cards! Similarly, never use the space bar to open a pack; always click each pack with purpose and drag it to the exact centre of the hollow to open it. The time taken and precision made will also ensure lucky openings!
3. Never hover before clicking; feel for the order, use the force: When the pack burst and 5 cards are shown; you must use all your force powers to select each card in the correct sequence: Sometimes it will be top first, sometimes bottom-left, sometimes top-right etc.. What is important is that you allow your gut to guide the order of the opening of the cards. It is said that opening in the correct order will net you a legendary every 10 packs on average!
On a serious note: Good luck in your openings the day of the release, please buy responsibly, and use the force in a safe and correct manner.

I play at Silver but had a large round of Control match-ups and so decided to play quest which I find fun anyway. Amulet I changed for the un-nerfed Renew because I don't like cards that can't be played without stipulation; I also found that when traded, Amulet won't work unless 2 deathrattles have died etc.
Again I haven't been against much aggro but Plague is too much of a chance card for me that rarely gets full value. N'Zoth; buffed, gets beast elemental and demon; and in terms of Seek Guidance; the 3 drops are covered by the corrupted Fleethoof Pearltusks and so on and so forth. Can also have an up or down-side depending on minions summoned by Auspicious Spirits.
Your deck is great: I love it and hope to be proven wrong in the adjustments I've made while climbing the ladder. I've tried to be constructively critical in my feedback; and consider the deck I am using yours first and foremost. If you like, try my changes. Thanks again for the construction X
I picked Alliance but won't win: Horde is suited to aggro decks and aggro decks win games more quickly; so if everyone uses their Alliance/Horde legendary and both have a 50/50 win/loss, Horde will still win as more games played.
Hi Y'all, A quick method for farming Tasks using Cookie, the Cook: If you're needing to farm an ability that is non-lethal; taunt for example, you can use Cookie's Fish third ability to add a "minion" to the opposing board. The game will not finish if there is only a fish and so you can spam mundane abilities until you have completed respective tasks. Hope you find this helpful. Magpai x
News just in: Deathblow Grommash isn't bugged!; its just not listed as the correct ability. Use his third ability to kill enemies: I'm on 6 or 7 out of 75 so far!
Sounds like a plan: Barrens Heroic probably; the earlier bounties' minions attack and die before Antonidas can act, will try the self damage method though thanks :L
Only way I can see that achievement working is to draw it from a Loot Hoarder the turn that its played. Can't remember how I unlocked that achievement sorry :/
Doesn't really work though: You've to kill 3 enemies with it; which means you've to cast 2 fire abilities before him and not kill anything until his go. I've had a think about it and the only thing I can think of is the Totem Furblong who summons totems: Wait until he summons 3 totems, double fire him with Geddon and Rag, Antonidas Fireball his 3 totems. Best thing is I only have to do that 15 times! :L
Its been a while but I'm sure I used Anduin's Holy Nova to stabalise. My first run usually used Lich King, Diablo or Illidan Jaina or Millhouse, Anduin. I think the main thing is to have enough healing to keep you alive.

Hi all,
Wondering what you think the new Battlepass Diamond Legendary will be [providing there is one].
I think it'll be Ivus, the Forest Lord as it should be versatile enough to fit into any deck.
Let me know cheers!

I tried it out and made a few changes:
Darkbishop Benedictus - Seek Guidance
Amulet of Undying x 2 - Renew x 2
I play at Silver but had a large round of Control match-ups and so decided to play quest which I find fun anyway.
Amulet I changed for the un-nerfed Renew because I don't like cards that can't be played without stipulation; I also found that when traded, Amulet won't work unless 2 deathrattles have died etc.
...Then I made 1 more change:
Devouring Plague - N'Zoth, God of the Deep
Again I haven't been against much aggro but Plague is too much of a chance card for me that rarely gets full value. N'Zoth; buffed, gets beast elemental and demon; and in terms of Seek Guidance; the 3 drops are covered by the corrupted Fleethoof Pearltusks and so on and so forth. Can also have an up or down-side depending on minions summoned by Auspicious Spirits.

@Fusilli: Yeah my bad; I never noticed the Heroic part of your problem. I'll let you know if I get through it in future.

Thanks for the advice: I'm updating the deck to add in the Mini-Set. Its a fun-style deck right now but its winning for me so I hope y'all enjoy.

Antonidas Task 11: Kill 3 targets using Fireball Storm 15 times.
Any ideas on a way to farm this?
