You get a ton of packs and gold when you play a new account from rank 50 to 20. Then you just dust all cards you don`t need then it is no problem to build a full cheap meta deck.

The only costly cards in his list were the 2x Wispering Woods - the rest was free or pretty cheap.

Did he make legend?

 Yes he did it. :)

is going to be very lucky if you can find a combination of 2 very specific cards (one of which you can only put once in the deck) by turn 5

Last but not least, the whole combo is easily prevented by you opponent having even a single taunt.

hahahahaahah its really amazing people already crying and asking nerf for a card that not even is here XD 

 And that is free for everyone as well. 

Imagine people complaining about a free N'zoth during Old Gods times.

And in this case we don't even know if this card is really good. As a wild player, I'd say it's pretty tame. 6 damage for 9 Mana is not that good, while 1/1 tokens are easy to clear by a myriad of cards that are in everyone's decks right now to counter Odd Paladin.

 Nobody complaining about that the legy is free. It is very nice that it is free. What is not nice is the immense powercreep and the dangerous combo potential.

The card should have something like "Echo 1", so you can play it one more time and not more and it whould still be a very good legy but without broken potential.

Quote from Anton_ >>

i mean its basically Replicating Menace but slightly better

cant be that good

 Has the potential to kill a opponent from infinitive health to zero in one turn after a setup. Nah, it`s not that good...

Why is this sad? Sometimes you can just see if a card is overpowered and shouldn`t you be allowed to talk about that as soon as you see it?

I like the mech tribe, I like to play with mechs for my own. But even if this card is good for me, I still can dislike it, because I think it is more important that there are balanced cards.

This card will be forever in every mech deck ever (at least in Wild) and I think this card is for a mech deck (!) even better than Zilliax.

This doesn`t look "fair" for me at all. :/

The base stats are the same, the mana cost is the same, but 2x 1/1 DR is better than 1x 2/1 DR PLUS it has Echo PLUS it is magnetic. x_X

I think Echo or magnetic whould be strong enough - but both is overkill.

And some people allready mentioning a "Two-Turn-Kill"-Combo with this new card and I don`t want a new Combo-Meta again. :/

PS: The mech tag is missing on the Harvest Golem pic, but we all know he is a mech, so I don`t have to search for another picture.

Rogue will still be viable in Wild, stop crying!

Kingsbane Rogue is T1 at the moment and in the worst case it will still be T2, which is fine and not dead at all!

Otherwhise there is Odd-Rogue too which a lot of players had forgotten about. I played with Odd-Rogue from rank 7 to 1 this month with a 66% winrate. And the nerfs didn`t touch Odd-Rogue at all.

But I don`t like the fact too that Blizz still not changes Big Priest. But I guess they still need more data... x_X

You can still play Odd-Rogue in Wild no problem. No cards were nerfed for this deck and it is not T1 there, but still very viable. (I climbed from rank 7 to 1 with Odd-Rogue with a 66% winrate.)

Have you tried to git gud? That should help with your problem.

Hello folks,
Yesterday on the 25th of may I've grinded my way from rank 50 to legend in 15:12 hours on a brand new account without spending a single penny. Here's my story:

Gif of the legend hitmark: https://gph.is/g/aXpjpxO

Tutorial - Rank 50
Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. I thought I'll just setup the stream, do the tutorial and go straight to ranked.
So I set the timer on at 16 hours and started. The stream recorded at 128p. My computer dropped frame-rates dramaticaly and I've had disconnects during the tutorial phase which made me do it again. Basically the first hour of the timer was me switch to another computer with better specs and getting the stream right. Once that was over with, I thought that the ranking could begin. Apperantly the starter quests don't begin unless you've cleared 5 games in solo adventure. I found this out after I played 2 games on rank 50 and lost both matches. Another 30 minutes gone. This was the only real set-back I had. From this way on things went pretty smoothly.

Rank 49 - 5
I couldn't have wished for a better result. During these ranks I've only had 4 loses. The timer went from 1:30 to 8:30 during these ranks. Still 7:30 hours left for the last phase.

Rank 5 - Legend
This is were the real grind started. My win-streak was over and the loses started to happen left and right. For the first 3 hours I was busy between rank 5 and rank 4 - 3 stars. I thought to myself "with this speed I'll never make it". Luckely after playing pretty 50-50 it went at a slow and steady phase, and it took another 3 hours and 45 minutes to get from rank 4 - 3 stars to legend.

Final word
I'm overwelmed with joy after reaching this. But also confused. Eventho the poor preperation I've had it still took 3:14 hours less than the previous "record". So can this record be broken? Absolutely! With the right preperation and slightly quicker turns is very posible. 

I did this challenge for several reasons. Besides my love for competitive gameplay it was also something I did for the community. The amount of negetivity I see on the forums is sad. Seeing all the complaints about how the game is "Pay2Win" - "Only about luck" - "Highrolling" - ect. I get it, people want quick validation and quick rewards. Whenever there's something new, like a expansion, there are so many topics of how people hate the changes and what not. I know that one person can't make a change to that, but I hope that doing this challenge will shed some light on the people that see this game as a joke. A the end of this all I still had 21 packs unopened. Which could be enough to make another high-rank, perhaps legend worthy deck. All I can say is: Practice makes perfect. Learn from your mistakes and enjoy the game.

Special thanks to the friends that came over to keep me company (some traveled as long as 2:30 hours for this). And to Maurice040684 and Kingofjaga on twitch that kept me company pretty much the entire grind.

Smh, another annoying salty thread complaining about the salt thread.

You must be new to this site and not know about the salt thread, so go use it.

Go to the salt thread for these kind of posts. You will be welcomed within the ranks of the salty.

What, you said you'd uninstall and you didn't get the attention you wanted so you decided to make another thread? 

Your previous thread (https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/234300-my-meta-prediction-fulfilled-once-again) got locked for a good reason. Begone already if you hate this game so much.

Old Casual: People experimenting with decks.

Casual for the past year-plus: Gold farmers running aggro and/or meta decks.

Wild Casual: (spinning noise ... waiting for matchup ... waiting for matchup ... waiting for matchup ...)

 

/practice with my gold priest on casual, but that's because standard priest is still looking for its unicorn

 I play since open beta and i really cant understand what people are talking about. Casual has always been filled with normal decks. 

I dont think anything has changed in casual there always were meta decks in that mode.

You know, there is a step below casual... it's called Friendly Duels. No gold reward here to motivate farming, you can complete quests, and you can even borrow your opponents deck to use their Golden Hero & Legend card backs.

Sure, this requires a bit of social energy as you have to seek out your own opponents, but if you're core enough to be posting on a HearthStone forum, I'm sure you could find some people to play with pretty easily.

"We don't want to put Echo on Witch's Brew, as we don't want to confuse new players. We also like to keep cards consistent for returning players."

I month, and a whole lot of cocaine, later:

"Heres a bunch of buffs to cards from a year ago. Also, how about a free legendary from three sets ago, with a keyword inconsistent with it's own set!"

PS: Delivery Drone and Omega Assembly just got more stupid.

Quote from Joonyone >>

So in the rise of shadows card reveals people said lazul was a good card and would be played lots (wrong)

people also said Heistbaron togwaggle would be the dominant legendary everyone played (wrong)

also oblivitron was rubbish and wouldn’t be played (wrong) 

i could keep going really. Turns out this community is terrible at foreseeing how cards play in the future. My guess is this will just be a good card and maybe I’m just seeing salty rogue players 

A) Actually, if you look at ratings, the community was not that bad in the last couple of expansion.

B) That has absolutely nothing to do with this card. 

C) I have never seen a 5 mana OTK with 2 cards and very little setup. That is at least worth talking about in a world where mechathun combos often work and apm priest was a thing fpr priest requiring 7 cards.

 This card should read "Always costs 3 mana", because as a magnetic echo mech, it is too dangerous with so many mana reducing minions (Mechwarper, Reckless Experimenter, Portal...)

I hate playing with and against control warrior now for the same reason I hated play with or against the aggro decks before can easily kill in turn 4 like prenerf pirate warrior and token druid.

HAVE UNFAIR ADVANTAGES!!!

Put a 1/1 + 1/3 weapon + 1/1 charge for a single mana spending a single card in an aggro deck is unfair.

Discover a 4/5 for 4 manas and kill a big and mid opponent minions using a hero power and don't spend any resource in a control deck is unfair, especially vs a class don't have acess to hero cards.

The aggro decks was nerfed and this control BS need to be massively overnerfed to the ground now.
