    posted a message on Which card packs are the most optimal to buy for a new player?

    To add a bit more clarity to the set availability and rotation sequencing:

    • The "Core" set is free, and rotates every year.
      • Get each class to level 10 to earn their Core cards
      • Earn all neutral Core cards once your various class levels add up to 60
      • After you've done this once, you've done it forever, because your class levels never decrease - you'll have the full Core set each rotation
    • Each year, three expansions are introduced.  They remain in Standard until the first expansion is released two calendar years later.  Then they rotate out of Standard and are only usable in Wild.
    • Here's the sequence:
      • 2019 April: Expansion 1, 2017 expansions rotate to Wild
      • 2019 August: Expansion 2
      • 2019 December: Expansion 3
      • 2020 April: Expansion 1, 2018 expansions rotate to Wild
      • 2020 August: Expansion 2
      • 2020 November: Expansion 3
      • 2021 March: Expansion 1, 2019 expansions rotate to Wild
      • 2021 August: Expansion 2
      • 2021 (Nov/Dec): Expansion 3
      • 2022 (Mar/Apr): Expansion 1, 2020 expansions rotate to Wild

    So, given that Expansion 1 launches around March or April of a given year:

    • Cards from 2020 will be in Standard for ~7 more months
      • Ashes of Outland
      • Scholomance Academy
      • Madness at the Darkmoon Faire
    • Cards from 2021 will be in Standard for ~19 more months
      • Forged in the Barrens
      • United in Stormwind
      • (upcoming expansion in Nov/Dec 2021)

    posted a message on I don't understand why Blizz gave me 1000 win portaits of heroes fo free

    Mine jumped to exactly 1000 yesterday.  After I closed and re-opened the game, they were all in the 1100-1300 range.

    Cheesing potatoes sounds like a positive thing?

    posted a message on Introducing the Core Set, Classic Format, Legacy Set & More!

    While it would be nice to use Whizbang in Standard, he's still pretty decent in Wild.  I easily reached Gold 5 in Wild last month on my wife's account just completing daily quests, and could certainly have gone further.  I did occasionally get steamrolled by better decks.  He's not really intended to be a "climb to Legend" card.

    Worked for me on the third attempt or so.  Swapped in Emperor Thaurissan but didn't even draw him on the successful attempt.  Got a Line Hopper to stick for a turn, and on 8 or so mana just went for it, including hitting a Skull of Gul'dan.

    Thanks!

    posted a message on [KnC] KRUL'DANGEROUS!

    If you play through all of your demons, and don't get any extras from Kabal Courier or Kazakus, there will be 12 Demons in the graveyard by the time you play Bloodreaver Gul'dan.  4 of those will essentially be Voidwalkers.  There's also a 2/4 with taunt and a 4/4.

    Assuming The Darkness is taking up a board slot.  You will resummon at most 6 demons.  I understand the appeal of Voidlord, but is it almost counter-synergy with your DK because it dilutes the graveyard?  Resummoning Voidlord would obviously be great, but for any individual board slot, you are 4x as likely to resummon a Voidwalker.

    posted a message on Final Kobolds and Catacombs Card Reveal Livestream this Monday!

    My guess is, the Blizzard employees participating in the streams aren't at work on weekends.

    posted a message on HOW MANY PACKS will you open the day expansion launches? (according to your predictions)

    Currently at 6900 gold, so I'll be around 9k at launch.  I haven't pre-ordered yet, but I don't doubt that I will. 

    That's 140 + freebies + inevitable impulse buys.

    Considering picking up some Amazon coins to reduce the impact of impulse purchases on my wallet.

    posted a message on How large is your collection?

    2424/2488 = 97.4%

    But it's counting me off for only having 1/24 KaC cards (which seems unfair as you can only get one right now...)

    Removing 23 from the denominator gives me 2424/2465 = 98.3%
