I don't understand why Inner Fire is not more hated around these parts.  Just faced a priest who puts down a turn 4 twilight drake (4/8).  Turn 5 was Coin, Power Word Shield, Divine Spirit, Divine Spirit, Inner Fire.  44 damage to the face in a single swoop on turn 5!

Nope, back up from maintenance in Americas server and no packs or nerfs

The Caverns Below because I was still learning the game when it was around and strong.  I couldn't play any decks that I enjoyed because they would all be crushed

Certainly it still is a concern to drop 8 mana on a weapon that may get crushed by a tech card next turn.  But I've quelled my own suspicions that the weapon wouldn't give you solid value even if you expend all charges (because of lousy RNG), with the following chart that identifies cards that basically guarantee at least some value in certain circumstances:

The safest type to expend a charge is when your opponent has minions, but you do not.  However, given 3 cards to choose from, on average you'll get at least one spell that guarantees a positive outcome in your situation except for the empty board scenario (so don't swing this weapon then).  Some effects are less beneficial than others, but when you hit on a volcano or bloodlust, that alone can complete the value on this card.

Also just wanted to add that Unbound Elemental has never been so boss as in this deck!  The abundance of overload cards that are useful in the early stages snowballed him fast.  The hard removal comes out fast when he's sizing up so quickly!

Might I recommend swapping the Windfurys for Windspeakers?  In my limited play testing, i felt like I was constantly holding 1-2 Windfurys with no valid targets while my opponent was controlling the board.  While he is not optimized for it, at least the speaker's 3/3 body provides something in those situations.  There's no spell synergy to worry about messing up and the 2 extra mana is probably never an issue when it comes to actually applying the buff to a giant since you'll probably be doing that the turn after you put him on board anyway.

If you buy an arena run before the expiration on the 24th, you'll get one free ticket (plus the rewards for your unfinished run) for that and another free ticket that everyone gets for a total of 2 arena tickets when you log in next.

I've found that learning 2 cards you know are definitely not part of the deck can be a wonderful bonus for the card!  Went up against a mage today when glimmeroot gave me Counterspell as one of the INCORRECT choices.  I knew I could cast spells with impunity the rest of the game.

Cool deck, but really just 3 cards different than the "Guarding the Shard" deck recipe from Blizzard.  Goes to show they might actually know what they're doing with those lists.

Gral, the Shark, doo doo doo doo doo,

But on topic: although I'm confident that some Legendaries will definitely be worth it in the long run, such as Mojomaster Zihi, I won't craft any Legendaries on day 1. I'll play for a week or two with what I'll get from my first packs and then see how the meta will evolve before crafting anything (F2P casual player, so only have enough dust to craft 1-2 Legendaries).

Killing Hakkar for the first time is my favorite WoW memory

"Did you do it?"

"... Yes..."

"What did it cost you?"

"... 8 mana..."

They chose a fitting moderator for a troll themed deck. That woman have a really irritating voice.

Well, that went well.

AND IF EVERYONE IS SUPER....NO ONE IS...

It's open to interpretation, but I kinda disagree with the op on half of these. Here is my experience:

• GREETINGS in the beginning: legit hello
• THREATEN in the beginning: I'm going to be trolling you this game
• GREETINGS during opponent turn: you're taking too long
• GREETINGS after a play: you like how I trolled you?
• OOPS after an RNG event: the game screwed me
• THANKS after an RNG event: the game screwed you
• WOW after an RNG event: how the hell is this even possible?
• OOPS after opponent play: you misplayed, bro
• OOPS after my play: I misplayed
• WOW after opponent play: that was amazing
• WELL PLAYED after opponent play: I'm impressed
• THREATEN after opponent play: I hate you, you really screwed me over
• THREATEN after my play: I'm being cocky
• THANKS after opponent play: you really helped me there, bro
• player leaving after opponent play: I'm a sour loser, so rather than conceding I'll force you to wait for the rope for 2 turns
• WELL PLAYED: I just got lethal! (or rarely, genuine "well played" to the opponent)

P.S. I do wish SORRY emote was added back in, there are genuine times when I feel guilty for a play/RNG and want to acknowledge that my win/turn had more to do with luck than my own ability.

 I've heard they're going to be nerfing it within the next two or three hours, mostly due to this thread.
