Really nice art. Like it and the addition to heal druid a lot. 

Quote from Tuscarora87 >>

A lot of people have misconceptions about Big Priest and Wild. Right now, Wild is the most diverse and balanced then ever. Of course, it's tough, strong and swingy, but if you go wild, you go to war, not to ballet.

It's not for fainthearted, but in reality it's a lie that people die there from op, broken and unfair stuff. Because, everything is strong, your deck is as strong as your opponent's (all just feels somewhat faster and swingy). Deck relations are tuned up. Of course, you'll die if you bring some shit homebrew or Standard deck, but... even with a Standard deck you can reach ranks 10 and 5! Just today, a Gallery Priest guy destroyed me at rank 6. ...What I wanted to say, you cannot shit on Wild if you constantly lose there with Heallock. Heallock is too slow for Wild.

Now, back to Big Priest. As I said Wild is in a good shape right now (no naga, old kingsbane, aligners, toned down even shaman and odd rouge...), but I will admit highrolling Big Priest is a little annoyance. But, just an annoyance. The deck is tier 2 and is good only with early Barnes, otherwise it's a slow or even shit deck.

Even with an early Barnes, just Sap the product, or Hex it, sometimes ignore it, and it's game over. Many cheap and off-meta decks shits on Big Priest: burn decks like exodia, freeze and other mages; most aggro decks, aggro mech hunter, shaman... Aggro Kingsbane obliterates them. Devolve, hex, pollymorphe... Today 10 games vs. Priest. All 9 vs. Big Priest won, lost one vs. Normal Dragon Priest. Just mulligan Sap and you are fine.

I would still like Barnes get hit by a nerf, the last annoyance, just that people become less afraid of Wild, which is just an additional meta and fun playground. I think, they'll do it at some point, even if they cannot be that happy if more people go Wild (with time, maintaining resources can become much cheaper).

Wild is best experienced if you don't care about ranking. Until rank 15, games are very easy (don' let those few noob stompers at rank 25 discourage you) (some players and bots at the lowest Wild ranks are some of the worst I've ever seen, worse then at rank 50 - Standard). Ranks 15 - 10 are the most fun and versatile. People there play all kinds of decks. Even going towards rank 5, it's 65% full meta vs. 35% mid tier decks. Remember, off-meta kills specific meta decks which is very satisfactory. Most off-meta decks aren't even documented and thus always a surprise. Casual is also fun. Playing competativly or for fun, everybody can find a place. There's around 20 meta and 30 known off-meta decks which you can copy from streamers, better then in Standard. It's very hypocritical to talk against Wild, while right now there isn't anything similar there like what we had in Standard: Giggling Quest Rouge, pre nerfed domination of Cube Warlock, Hadronox and unbreachable walls of taunts, uninteractive otk's. Partially because, in Wild there are lot of interactive tools. The truth is both formats can be fun. Wild isn't worse then Standard.

Looking at these new Priest cards, they are of no good use to Big Priest. He already has the late game, he's weak early, when only highrolling Barnes keeps him afloat. If you let him do things he likes doing from mid and post mid-game, he earned it.

 THIS. Couldn't agree more friend. 

Thx for the nice post.

It's like a worse Amara that comes later and has no taunt.

Not sure if it's strong enough versus aggro or very useful against control. Maybe the dragon tag can enable some good minions on the way to the late game where you can play that.

As always it depends on what else will come as support.

Well, it's simply a dust cut worth of 400 if you dust the legendary or 1600 if you get one you don't have to dust anymore.

Surely, it's always harder to take something away from people than to give something.

Correct me if I am wrong guys but is this the first expansion in over two years that does not give out a free legendary after the first log in? 

So instead we'll get all the same Marin the Fox style non dustable non competively playable legendary? I just came to realize that and this looks like a really shitty move from Blizzard. 

 Life would be so much easer with less and less people like you. I don’t blame you, you guys are a Lot in this game, I mean A LOT.

The worst part of this game is by far the whinny internet and forum people.

Anyhow, I want to say that so far Blizzard made a incredible job with this expansion. Can’t wait for new cards and rotation 

  

So very sorry I make your life so hard and hurt your feelings. I pity sheeps or fanboys like you who buy everything without asking although they get less and less for their money. But nevertheless I consider you the best part of the game because you keep the game free2play friendly. 

In my opinion the expansion is far from great but a lot of old cards made up as new which is kinda boring. But this is not the topic. My point is that blizzard made the game not only more expensive again but is reducing the amount of free stuff to be attractive to free2play people who are also needed to provide a big player base and low queue times. 

But who can blame them if so many mindless customers can´t even bare someone criticising their marketing strategy in a public forum.

So I am still waiting for the proof that there will be the free random legendary upon log-in like in ALL previous expansions. Can some provide a source?

And it's as far as I can remember the smallest one before expansions. 

Anyway, most people play standard, why give out mammoth packs instead of witchwood?

Trade Only?: Yes, you go first!

Done

So I should keep this card in mulligan, hope to draw my cabal shadow priest to maybe steal a 6 attack Minion on curve? Seems veeery situational and passive. 

Just a question for the `I hit legend on all servers every season`players.

What is it that motivates you to do the grind every month for such a little reward. I was actually very relieved when I hit legend that I don't have to play so very many games beyond the point it stops making fun. Since then I am perfectly happy to reach rank 5 every time and enjoy the 500 dust. The ratio of time I'd have to put into the game for the small reward just doesn't do it for me.

So again, is it just that you have too much time or is it for your personal feeling of achievement that you grind so many games? 

Recently I experience something extremely annoying. The game apparently runs normal during a match but the opponent won't play his turn. So you wait for the rope but it doesn't come. 

If you restart the game to get out of this it tells you that you lost your game because of a disconnect.

I guess the app just handles connection problems very stupidly. 

Got my 4th (!) copy of drakkari trickster. Wtf blizzard?

 Fake news? 

Not on my side of the EU ... 

No worries. They´ll surely come to EU soon. I guess 19 pm CET

Maybe today at 19:00 CET as many other patches or other updates
