Trade only? : yes, you go first

Special: I have the quest on NA, not on EU => you should have it on EU and be willing to receive the quest from me on NA (i.e., NA should be your main server). In case you are interested in cross-server trading in general:

it's an arbitrary thing to ask. 3 days? yeah, that helps all those that want to craft the card max 3 days before the nerf. the others have 3 days to enjoy their bad investment.

don't get me wrong, I also think that balance changes should not just come in an instant, at least gives everyone the chance to craft the cards that are being nerfed and enjoy them for a few days. but your comment sounded mostly bitter to me and not very helpful. i feel for you, though, crafting a legendary just to see its value go from very high to very low by a simple change to a common card :/

i loved KB, luckily i opened it by luck and could enjoy KB for a long time. the massive change to leeching poison saddens me, though. (it would also be a crappy card if they had made it a 2 mana, life steal for one turn and draw a card effect. as it is now it's a completely useless card...

WG & Nourish have been hit hard. Yet these nerfs are probably good and we might still see the cards being played.

Level-Up: basically the same change that happened to call to arms - CtA was taken out of reach for even paladin, level up is taken out of reach for odd paladin. the nerf to level-up was long overdue. i mean, boring odd paladin terrorized the meta for 8 months now. nerfing baku, however, might have been the better choice... now all you fixed is odd paladin. not odd rogue (quite a power house in wild), nor odd warrior (which is insanely polarizing aswell)

saronite: in wild there's still doppelgangster. this nerf apparently hit zoo warlock as well. saronite has been one of the most dominant rares in ages. Since ages it has been one of the most popular minions on any HCT tournament. Anyone remember Infested Tauren? ... almost same power level *cough*.

leeching poison: while i agree that KB is insanely polarizing (in wild, in standard it's ... ok-meh), this really kills the archetype completely. rogue is not supposed to leech life, i agree, but i see no way for the legendary named KB to ever see play again. (well, unless leeching poison is reprinted, that is ... e.g. as a battlecry minion :D). probably people will dislike me for that, but i really liked playing KB. it's quite polarizing indeed. but even just halving the life leech would give players like me a way to dream :D

Quote from Berserker_00 >>

The changes are good but they should have notified players at least 3 days in advance that’s all I’m asking for

 so .... if the changes would not hit the market today, but on the 22nd of december, then you would have been fine with them?

Thanks to Jerred = xTrance#21410

KB is super difficult to beat with renolock. Unless your opponent is not too familiar with his deck. If he is: well, basically no chance as he will avoid giving you any chance to gnomeferatu his KB. Which is basically your only chance to beat KB....

If he is not that familiar with reno, then most of your hope goes that he shuffles KB into a deck of very few cards so you can brann gnome zola gnome (you need to keep these cards just for that small chance that your opponent makes that mistake).

Still better than mine :D

Raising with 23 duplicate non golden Commons and 7 duplicate non golden rares

Mana cost and effect are not justified for an epic that doesn't have any extraordinary mechanic.

This is a standard effect, nothing extraordinary => should be balanced mana and effect wise. But it's not. Standalone it's a 2 mana deal 2 damage. With whatever card combined, this is behind mana curve: glacial shard? = 3 mana 2/1 deal 2 damage, start with deck size 29.
blizzard? = 8 mana, deal 4 damage to a minion, 2 to the rest, freeze them all, start with deck size 29. This goes on.

For 1 mana it would have been too good. But for 2 mana they could at least have given 3 damage - after all it does neither freeze nor go face unlike frost bolt. Would be sad to see the pity timer for epics reset on that crap card...

 thanks to asrani#2175

hijo, this is an absolute awesome renolock guide!
the only cards i am missing and do not want to craft atm are doomsayer & nzoth. as doomsayer is so vital ... i need to postpone playing the deck.

but hands down this is one of the most thorough write ups of a guide that i have ever seen. if not *the* most thorough write up. so many strategies well explained....
thanks for that and ... wow, again.

PS: just wanted to point out that you still have giggling mentioned in the core cards ;)
