I guess I got lucky and beat them all first try. However the boss I almost lost to was the sludge one, not even the the last two which everyone seems to hate. Sludge boss took me down to exactly 1HP with a Bloodlust on turn 5 and I spent the next 5 turns desperately clinging on with single digit hp at the end of every turn until I drew a Conviction on Turn 10 which cleared his board with +1 spellpower.
This is a tech card against combo decks or decks that rely on running only a few minions. If there isn't a combo heavy meta then the card is like a 7 mana 6/6 on average or something else unimpressive. It's a nice card to have available for tech reasons but unlikely to see much play normally.
If you have diamond Samuro you shouldn't be able to get normal/golden Samuro from packs again until you have all the other Barrens Legendaries. Since you say you opened a duplicate as well I can only imagine that is the case.
Mage gets blown up by burn decks right now. If you are really facing 80% Mages there are quite a few decks that burn them out consistently - Hunter is probably the best.
It used to be a lot harder to reach Legend for sure. You could reach Legend right at the end of the month and be in "dumpster" Legend and your rank would be inside the top 2k. Now a late legend won't even make the top 20k.
A big factor was in the past it took 25 wins over losses from the equivalent of D5 to reach Legend compared to only 15 now. Go even further back to when there was no safety net and it was even tougher because every single game you'd face a tryhard netdecker rather than all the gimmicks you see now of people having fun safe in the knowledge that even a terrible streak doesn't drop them lower than D5.
I was having a terrible pack opening until I opened 5 Legendaries from pack 104-127. Ended up with 9 in total from those 127 packs, which is slightly better than fair.
Any reason not to just immediately dust the free golden Mankrik for enough dust for 2 Legendaries (could be turned into a regular Mankrik+another Legendary)? I guess it's best to open your packs first and hope you get another one before claiming on the track and triggering dupe protection
The last few expansions have hit a couple of minutes early - could be critical if you're still desperately grinding the Darkmoon track. Although if you are pushing it that close it's probably too late!

They could call physical based spells something different eg Kinetic. You could fit more spells into that category

I've won with turn 5 OTK with Mecha'thun Rogue. Just because it's possible with the perfect draw it doesn't make it OP.

That example bracket is confusing. I suppose the winner of the group is decided by a match between the winners of U3 and E2?

This is by far not the worst meta. There have been a few bad ones but the most boring was probably when Aggro Shaman was tier0.

That's a new type of standard card pack

Surely there are better options than Priest of An'she? Even just another Ogre or Insight.

Nozdurmu matches should be fun

I hate the feeling of a bad opening.
