    We know for certain you can disenchant the cards, the post does not say "disenchantable." Anywhere. At all. You could read the post, maybe, and find this out?

    Yes, the answer is time. Some of it is in the manner you describe, it's simply a matter of sustained effort. But it's also a matter of time in the sense that anything with some degree of skill will reward repeated interaction. You'll make fewer misplays, better mulligans, make better reads and in general become a better player the more you play through simple repeated exposure to similar scenarios that you can optimize and a wider range of scenarios that will broaden your thinking of how the game is play proactively and reactively. And then you'll start to notice subtle differences in play that you're probably not catching (or are underevaluating the importance of) now.

    Yeah, the Hunter quest only thing is bizarre, I assume it's a bug?

     Pretty much that.
    To paraphrase: should we assume that this thing I don't understand represents some conspiracy theory negative effect that I can't even articulate?
    No, no you should not. If you're so eager to find conspiracy theories you can't even be bothered to create a theory of the negative consequence you are officially too eager to find conspiracy theories.

    I don't understand the thinking that 12 games is a representative sample size at any level of play.

    Also:

    "This card hasn't seen much play since it's nerf" re: Abusive Sergeant

    Is objectively false.

    Darkspeaker

    Ice Rager (I literally have seen people play Magma and Am'gam Rager, but not this one)

    Wilfred Fizzlebang (I really want to see him draw Jaraxxus)

    Bloodsail Cultist (was that an actual card cause I can never find it in my collection either lolol)

     Bloodsail Cultist is literally in the meta.

    It's actually nothing  like that. I cannot think of a worse analogy than comparing it to a lottery.

    Love this brawl or hate it, at least use some cogent reasoning to base your criticism.

     Then you must have a ton of trouble with reading comprehension / not know the meaning of the worst "lottery" or "analogy" or "worse" and it definitely won't be fruitful to have a conversation with such a person. Later!

    Quote from Maukiepaukie >>

    Oh boohoo, after years of Blizzard focusing on the new and casual players, something comes out for the experienced, competitive players? That's ridiculous right?

    And you don't need to be need rich to win in this brawl, in fact you only need one competitive deck. There are tons of players who don't have shit but saved and disenchanted everything for one competitive deck, so for them this is perfect aswell.

     Sorta like how if you're completely destitute but you are able to scrape together a couple bucks to play the lottery, the lottery is perfect, right?!
    As long as you ignore the odds, it's fannnnntastic! Love it!

    posted a message on Is warrior weak now?
    Quote from captram77 >>

    So did I miss the boat....lol.  

    I played other classes go on hugh win streaks. 

    I was on a 9-1 streak when I noticed I only have 20 something wins to get golden warrior.  So of course I switched to warrior and now can't  buy a win with it.   

    If it was just day or 2, Id think it was just a tilt...  But been more then a week and when I switched to any other class I can put wins together.

    I tried Dragon warrior and control, Nzoth and Cthun. Nothing been working. Played like 60 games with, only handful victories.

    I played a Dragon Warrior (Curator package with Book Wyrm, Cleave instead of Slam, Deathwing instead of N'zoth's Mate) up to rank 5 about a week ago. I did find it was stalling when I started playing again today, but I still see plenty of Control variants on ladder.

    This is total bs. A pure cashgrab move to take out some gold from people right before the expansion. Have anyone saw the rewards? 0 wins 1 pack? 3 wins 120g, 120 dust and 3 packs? If you want to break even you have to win at least 7-8 games. For the grand total of 1000g or 10$. And to do what, playing against midrange shaman 24/7? I can do that by laddering in standard, for free.

     Break even is probably 4 wins, right? Rewards:
    5 packs (500g)
    190g (190g)
    190 dust (just shy of 5 packs worth of dust, so just less than 500g)
     Average pack is worth 100 dust (because on average you get legs and epics, which give you 400 and 100 dust when dusted). I know many packs are 40 dust, but on average if you open 10000 packs you'll get an average of 100 dust from each, that have been proved. So at 190 dust you barely have 2 packs worth of dust. 5+2+2=9. You are behind.
     Hadn't seen that stat for arcane dust, thanks.
    So close at 4, ahead at 5 wins.
    So all the more punishing.

    In order for this to have value, for me, even playing a cancer deck, I'd have to get lucky, so no.

    At a close to sustainable 60% win rate with a tier 1 deck it'd still be totally reasonable to hit 3 losses long before you hit 4 wins (which looks like the break even point) with normal variance, on regular ladder. So it might be slightly better than a coin flip to make a "profit," except this is likely to be even more competitive.

    It's bizarre that weeks after nerfing cards for having fun-destroying swings between best and worst outcomes (Yogg, Tuskarr) that they thought a real money tavern brawl equivalent that in particular punishes new and casual players was a smart idea. It boggles the mind, unless this the canary in the coal mine that they're looking to up the predatory practices / don't feel like they're making enough money on this. In which case it makes perfect sense.

    priest is unplayable, current control warrior is just too boring and autolose against midrange hunter, reno decks are just weak, only viable control paladin deck is anyfin, i really miss handlock...

     So by "viable" you mean "meta breaking"
