Was thinking something like this too. I can barely handle the 5 wins a week, 15 is overkill. I understand rewarding commited players, but killed the rewards for the casual ones in the process.
An alternative to chained quests could be a button to "hard modeify"/"turn epic"/"level up" a quest, that triples the requirements and doubles the reward. No way to "level down" of course and no way to reroll it once transformed. This way you can choose which quests to go hard and which ones to go chill. Ex: if you are a standard boi, you can level up the 5 classic matches one to 15, and leave bgs one on 5, etc.

Just remembered that Alexstrasza the Life-Binder and Jepetto Joybuzz were a thing, so those would work for 40 face damage I guess.

For the world's slowest and worst Kingsbane combo imaginable:
1. Have a Record Scratcher equipped that refreshes at least 2 mana
2. Play Sonya
3. Play Buccaneer, get a 0 mana copy
4. Play Mana Wraith
5. Play the "0 mana" (now 1 mana) Buccaneer, get another "0 mana" (now 1 mana) copy, repeat 2 times
6. Break Record Scratcher either by attacking (in which case play one more Buccaneer) or playing Kingsbane
7. Get a lot of extra attack on your Kingsbane as well as a 0 mana copy (which might keep enhancements, I'm not quite sure)
Jokes aside, if there's ever a reasonable way to keep setting a card to 1 mana despite Sonya's reduction, this could lead to some stupid combos.

I really like how all of these are different tribes. Seems they are finally trying to push support for an archetype even past its expansion.

I guess the main reason against Catrina was Priest being part of the "good guys" this expansion.

They should have designed it with tendrils in mind at least. Would be a much better and much more interesting card if both spells AND tendrils reduced the cost, seeing as most tendril generators are minions. At least that way you would have incentive and a payoff to playing a "pure" tentacle deck.

Man, real shame this can't fit into Odd Warrior. Would've been nuts with its upgraded hero power. Though, I guess running Justicar Trueheart like in the good old days would be an option.

Anyone tried dusting Illucia and THEN buying the bundle with only her and 1 other legendary left as the only ones in the expansion left?

god, I wish this thing was a dual-class with DH so that Big Demon Hunter was actually more than just a failed sales pitch.

This does potentially seem slightly bullshit to try and play around. Not brokenly so, but just one of those "feel bad" secrets.

This brawl ALWAYS would just be degenerate OTK decks. Has nothing to do with this expansion release at all.
