Weird that your completely unsubstantiated conspiracy theory got deleted. Deleting dumb shit isn't censorship, it's called moderating.

Not sure if it's worth it, but Jackiechan is streaming a dragon soul deck at rank 1 right now. Might check it out or the VODs. If someone can figure out a good use of dragon soul it's him.

They're giving everyone free golden cards, isn't that enough?

Do you really need the Malygos package? There's no OTK so you have to play a 9 drop and hope it and you both survive AND have enough burn in hand. No Crackle or Jade Lightning hurts the burn plan, maybe shaman spellstone is more reliable. I'd also much rather have Hexes than Prince V, or maybe Spellbreaker so you can push your giants through to hit face. But the strategy of playing cheap overstatted minions seems solid, good luck with your deck. 

mulligan for expensive cards and hope to jam an 8 drop on turn 2. 

I don't believe the golden pack affects the pity timer. Here's the quote from the twitch prime promotion:

 "*Offer valid only in regions where Twitch Prime is available. Must own Hearthstone to redeem. Golden Card pack contains Classic cards. These packs use the new pack opening rules regarding duplication protection, but will otherwise have an independent chance of containing Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary cards unrelated to any special rules (such as a guaranteed Legendary within 10 packs) nor other Hearthstone Sets, including Classic. Each Blizzard account may only redeem one code per promotional item." 

I enjoy Shud Shammy with the combo. You get to win from some weird situations, can play for tempo or value, and your winrate should be higher than with Rogue. Calling Kingsbane "original" is a bit rich since it's an established meta deck that pretty much builds itself, but choose whichever looks more enjoyable to you. Good luck.

It's not a nerf.  It's more consistent with how cards work, and most likely how future cards that do similar things will work.  I'm guessing Shudderwock works the same, if there was some battlecry that could destroy it.  

 Shudderwock also works like this. If you hit too many AOE clears like the one from Hagatha or Primordial Drake he stops casting.

 False

Yeah, Big Shudds isn't even on the battlefield when its battlecry resolves. That's why it doesn't get bounced by Grumble if there isn't a copy on the board. If it gets copied by Chain Gang the copy could die but the battlecries will keep coming. I'm 95% sure here.

Oh no I dusted my Tess about a week ago, I swear if this gets a dust refund I'll be so mad I missed 1200 dust!!! To be fair though maybe it wasn't intended to do what Pre nerf Yogg did.

It was intended to work that way, Mike Donais explicitly says so here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/8aeax2/new_rouge_card_tess_graymane/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=comment_list

So whether the change will impact many games or not, people crafted the card with the expectation that it would work a certain way and now it doesn't. People crafted DK Rexxar expecting it to work a certain way, and Blizzard made the change based on community response. What some people call "whining for free dust" could also be called "advocating for yourself as a consumer."

It's not even good in recruit hunter since it's overstatted for its mana cost due to the drawback. The card is trash, enjoy your 1600 dust.

I think the order of reveals is also a big factor in missed predictions. A lot of the generic aggro/tempo cards get dumped on the last day of reveals, so while everyone is theory crafting around the cool new epics and legendaries, cards like Small Time Buccaneer and Corridor Creeper don't get noticed until they start destroying everything in their path. People tend to think the meta will be slower than it turns out to be. People who enjoy brewing aren't usually into fast decks, so they often miss the strength of aggro cards.

People also tend to overestimate the drawback of deck building restrictions versus payoff cards (Prince K, Baku/Genn, people were even unsure about Reno). But I agree that it's cool that out takes a while to figure out which cards are good and that we the community are wrong a lot.

15 packs isn't that many, Dark Pact was the only common that got nerfed (unless I'm misremembering), so hoping to spike a specific epic or rare is pretty unrealistic.

To answer your question, I pulled a gold Dark Pact and a Lackey (high roller over here).

No, I'm upset that you all think it's a nerf, when it's most definitely not, though like I stated, I could see how some could view it that way.  And to reiterate, I'd like to think Blizzard has more integrity than to bow to the whims of the community because they think they deserve stuff for free. 

 You're totally divorced from reality.

Do you really need to cheese them out with the combo when you can just resummon an endless string of Lich Kings and Obsidian Statues? Personally I'd rather have 2 of's of the defensive spells (SW:H, Healing Potion) and save the 4 deck slots. I'm skeptical about Noz but if it's working for you that's cool.

It's not a nerf, and you don't deserve free dust for it. 

"Deserve" doesn't enter into it. Blizzard will either refund or not based on their business interests. If there's enough outcry/voting with your wallet it might change their mind, similar the the DK Rexxar beast change. But you certainly aren't the arbiter of who gets refunds.

 Thank God Blizzard doesn't just give out free dust if the community whines loudly enough.  

Lol how does that even affect you? "OMG Blizzard gave refunds for other people's cards and I'm furious about it. Please God do something about it!"

edit: Also Blizzard 100% gives refunds when the community whines enough. Caverns Below anyone?
