Nice deck! It looks like fun! Do you think that Azalina is worth crafting in general?

Hi Kiwi, I like your deck as it uses some interesting cards as Sneaky Devil and Ravenous Pterrordax. I'm not convinced by the Mad Hatter, nor by Hooked Reaver. The first one because of the RNG, the second as a very easy target for silence effects. How do they perform for you?

I'm playing instead a couple of silence and Azalina Soulthief, although so far I managed to play it only once (and she won me the game). what do you think of her? I'm also running Harrison Jones for the potential card-draw, but I'm kinda skeptical about that card. here's my deck:

cheers!

Personally, I did it on my first try, and I actually fatigued her. I don't want to say that this is da wae, but I want to share my  I did it in this way:

1) during my run, I got +2 attack on hounds, +1 mana on enemy minions, and I focused on deathrattle minions;

2) I didn't know what Glinda was up to until I saw hee minions that were going back in her deck. I knew that she was going to bust my run if I didn't start outvaluing her. That's why I started playing tiny sticky minions that generated values on death (deathrattle spiders and stuff like that). She ended up in playing Doom! with my board basically full of deathrattle, so she burnt like tons of cards and gave me tons of value;

3) I didn't know until the end of the game, but she has the demon that discards cards any time it takes damage. As soon as I saw that, I tried to strategize: I waited until both of the reshuffling minions were on the board, then I managed to kill both those minions, so that at least one was in her hand. I attacked the demon and she discarded one of the guys, then I got easy. I don't remember how, but in the end I managed to have her drawing the last one, and I made her discarding also that one. I had still almost 5-10 cards in my deck and she was taking 15 dmg of fatigue per turn, easy peasy :D

now, I know that I was probably lucky, but I think it is doable.

I picked +2 attack for the hounds, double health and +1 mana cost for enemy minions (which is actually undervalued I think). I ended up getting a lot of buffing and deathrattle synergies, and with beast card genetors I outvalued basically any boss.

Not the greatest tech but it gives taunt druid a 50% chance to not get Hadronox from Witching Hour.

heh, that doesn't prevent or counter battlecry cards, it only delays them :(

Hi all, I played against a couple of Hand Druid decks and I thought that it was an interesting idea to fill out your hand to play a token-oriented style. In addition to that, giants may benefit from both your hand and board size. So I ended up thinking about Splintergraft: I fill my board and play a 8/8, sometimes also for free, why not playing a 10/10 for free?

let me know ypur thoughts, yesterday I played a couple of games and I literally destroyed an Odd Pally by gaining tons of armor while playing giants on giants, and I defeated a Taunt Druid who couldn't held the pressure of the tokens. Still needs refinements I guess.

I don't understand anyone who doesn't think it needs a nerf, it's so obviously broken.

I think they should make it remove the spells it reveals, so there's an actual trade-off to playing it.

There's already a trade-off is playing almost no spells in your entire deck... And if you draw any or all of those 2-4 spells you have in your deck your win rate goes down significantly before the game even starts.

come on man, with the minions that we have now you can basically do everything that you would do with spells, especially if you are playing priest. you have fewer answers, but still you can do AoE (dusk breaker), single target removal (scaleworm), silence, polymorph, buffing other minions... that's not really a fair tradeoff for a 16/16 on the board on turn 5/6. I agree that spiteful summoner should be modified, maybe it should remove the spell revealed.

 

 

That is one Spiteful deck and the Spiteful mechanic should not be blamed for getting placed into the most broken dragon deck the game has seen. Everyone already knew the priest dragon package was rediculous & that is the fault of purposefully pushing the dragon priest playstyle to be powerful (*coughdragkonoidopcough*). The choice of Spiteful deck is in no way indicative of most Spiteful decks. 

Try Spiteful Warrior, Spiteful Mage, Spiteful Paladin, or Spiteful Hunter and you'll see that the playstyle isn't as trumped up as the Spiteful Priest.

I was trying a similar deck yesterday, homebrewed, it's nice!

Looking at what other people unpacked, I guess I was VERY unlucky.

opened 70 packs pre-purchased, 4+3 from quests and gift, 88 purchased with gold, total of 165 packs:

• 8 Legendaries (0 golden);
• 28 Epics, 5 duplicates of the same card (2 golden, 1 is a duplicate of a normal epic);
• All of the rares (10 golden);
• All of the common (14 golden, 2 duplicates).

a bit sad, also because I got Chameleos as a free legendary card, got not-so interesting legendary cards (Splintergraft, for example) and I'm missing interesting the interesting ones (I really wanted Baku the Mooneater, Lord Godfrey, and Archmage Arugal). Not even a Book of Specters nor a Voodoo Doll :(

• 4 legendaries (2 in a single pack)
• 5 epics (1 golden)
• 7 golden rares
• 7 golden common

on average I got 1 leg. card every 10 real money purchased new packs vs 1 every 20 previously purchased packs (half real money, half gold), wtf?
