I didn't read any spoilers as I wanted a fresh experience. First try downed the first plague lord. Got some pretty good picks though I think... getting a Jaina was important and then on the Plague Lord I Dune Sculptored into a Kalecgos and picked up a Togwaggle's Scheme from somewhere, waited it out, put 12 Kalecgos into my deck and eventually burnt him down.
Was very very fun, I suspect like the last solo adventure that each "wing" will get harder and harder.
This was from a while ago... been playing on my phone since then and now at 21-5. The heal from Zilliax and 2x Walking Fountains has won me so many games. Spellbreaker also unexpected in the meta atm and can be really good vs. Priest in particular.
Just wanted to come back and post on this. The deck is INSANE. I've gone 21-3 ranks 9-5. Only difference is I don't have Hagatha so I'm running 1x Fire Elemental, which has been super strong for me.
Have been tempted to remove an MCT and add former champ or work Mutates in there but honestly, I think this is the 100% best build of the Shaman Quest deck, why mess with it? The Walking Fountains provide enough come back and people aren't expecting them.
In terms of gameplay, one thing I do is often hold my Vulpera Scoundrel/Ethereal Lackey for post quest completion, double spell discovery is super OP.
Also, playing this deck has been the most fun I've had in hearthstone for months if not years. Thanks OP!
Yeah this is a good time to not care too much about ladder rank or match ups and just have fun with new cards and crazy deck ideas. The meta will settle in a few weeks and then everyone will be playing the card-for-card same 4 decks that are considered "the best" and 90% of the cards from the new set will be forever discarded from competitive play.
Thief rogue is super good times right now. Strong enough to be competitive but every single game is different because of the thief cards (which are good now!). Ripping timeout off of henchclan burglar vs. aggro and then playing Tess the next turn is GOOD TIMES :D
Got 1 legendary from 37 packs and that was the guaranteed legendary in the first ten packs (it was in pack 10 of course!). Going from paid to free to play sucks man hahaha.
unbelievably bad, which is good since warrior is to strong anyways. I think in my last 200 games as warrior i never attacked 5 times in a game, also passing turn 1 also 1 card down, no thx.
Also booms hero power seems still better why bother with this unless Hero cards go to hof.
Wait so with 2x Wrenchcalibur and 2x Weapons Project you never attacked 5 times? I can't remember a Warrior game that went beyond turn 10 in which I _didn't_ attack at least 5 times. Not saying the card is good, just don't agree with your hyperbole.
I've found the heroes to be exceedingly unbalanced. Maybe it's just me, but the Priest hero feels like dumpster garbage compared to the Mage with the pay (1) -> reduce cost of a card by 2. Once you have cards down to 0 cost, it never hits those cards either, so it's always value. The topsy-turvy Priest power is just crap in comparison.
I've played the Streets of Dalaran maybe 5 times on heroic with priest and been beaten on boss 8, 8, 3 (!), 7 and 8. Decided, screw this, I'll go back to Mage, first run, absolutely destroyed every boss including f*ing Jepetto Joybuzz. The Priest heropowers, starting decks and loot offerings all just feel terrible.

Even more importantly, the deck is just FUN to play. Craft it, play it, enjoy it.

Why do you care about rank floor if you don't care about winning?
Play Casual as others have said.
And yes, losing 10 games in a row does reflect your skill level OR your deck is truly terrible.

Dr. Boom will stay exactly the way he is until he rotates out of standard (at which point he'll still stay exactly as he is).

Pretty sure he is supposed to sound like Genie from Aladdin so yeah. Spot on in that regard ;)
