Don't waste your time with galakrod priest. It will get you as far as rank 5 at best, and only because the better decks have already climbed the ladder. Quest Priest is far better.
In order for Galakrond priest to be any good, his bonus minions should cost 2 less.

I know it's still early, but how would you rate the quests so far, from best to worst? I'm not asking only about pure power, but also how easy it is to finish it and how much it affects the gameplay.
My ranking would be:
I'm also actually quite surprised how unbalanced those quest are. Some of them are very easy and quick to finish, giving you excelent reward, while others takes ages to complete, requires much effort (also to build your deck properly) and rewards you with pretty minor bonus that is far from being a win condition.
My personal favourite so far - regardless of it's actual power - is Druid one. And I'm not even disappointed with Warlock's quest, since it was obvious pretty early, that it will suck even more than previous Warlock's quest. Im crossing my fingers for Priest, maybe community will figure something out.

you new to Hearthstone? that's how it is every expansion.

If the design of the hunter hero power was: "deal 1 damage, plus 1 damage with every use" I'm pretty sure we'd all be moaning about how busted it is. With Bran and Aya and Jade idol, Auctioneer and Innervate the jade druid deck is fundamentally worse than that. I have no faith in Blizzard to nerf it, they knew what they were doing introducing it - they wanted to reduce cards like ysera and all the other big drops to the scrap heap completely, probably to force us all to buy new cards. But the mechanic is fucking stupid I can't believe it ever made it through testing. Kids designing their own card games at school wouldn't be stupid enough to include something like it.

I tried to suggest a change to ladder in another thread I started regarding the introduction of algorithms to ladder - but there is a huge divide between people who desperately want ladder to change and those who like it as it is. So much so that the thread largely devolved into those who wanted change being told they were just scrubs who needed to 'git gud', exception being some of the more reasonable forum members. I honestly hadn't realised before that that there were people who actually like ladder as it is. To me this is madness and a huge overhaul is required.
A rotation change isn't enough - there needs to be tangible reward for playing off meta and slower decks.

I hope not, I've always hated Mage more than Warlock. Freeze spells are a crime against humanity.

One thing is Blizzard made the emotes sounding in English BM as possible IMO. Community asking for autosquelch for so long. I Would even like a Mute to the occasionally "What to do, What to do".....
Atleast at Higher ranks BM happens less.

Twilight Summoner is fine in Priest since you have good board clears and heals, so board control isn't such a big deal.
Fire Fly might open up a stronger Elemental side-theme.
Spiritsinger Umbra makes any deathrattle card better.
And honestly, Mirage Caller makes the quest so easy to complete that you don't really need to focus too much on deathrattles anyway. Just make the rest of your deck strong and enjoy the reward when you finally get it.

I don't get why you're trying so hard to convince people this deck will fail. Team 5, who has actually playtested it, says it's quite good, so it seems to me there's nothing to worry about. To me, it's very obviously a playable archetype
I certainly never said the quest was the win condition. Add whatever win condition you like -- unless it's some convoluted OTK thing, it will be easier with the quest than without, I'm pretty sure.

I can't believe all this shameless whining from priest players. Priest got good cards. How can you seriously be complaining before even using a single one?

After at least 6 months away I tried HS again after the recent update. I played from 24 to 5 but now I'm bored and think I'll put this on hold until next update. It's not that I get tired of the new cards that fast, it's because the endless scissors, rock paper and that Blizzard don't do monthly balance changes. Let's say I make an Odd Warrior and win most games against aggro but have zero chance againt almost everything else, what kind of fun is that? Cards like Shudderwock, Quest Rogue and zero cars shouldn't excist. Endless fireballs from Mage is anothe stupid ides.
I want on/off for emotes in settings, a low animatin mode for better gameplay in iPads/tablets and monthly balance changes. And no cards that make you feel hopelessly wihtout chance, like "change decks", "kill the enemy deck", endless Taunts in Druid with Cube/Spider etc etc.

No card except Coin should be 0 mana.

I played Azalina when he had an 11 attack Kingsbane in hand. :)

I don't use any of them atm. I crafted Azalina and well I stole and upgraded Kingsbane and won over the Rogue but winning over a Shudderwock isn't easy.

I've many times suggested a performance mode in settings where you can turn of much animations and stuff to get a game that works better on for example an ipad.

I would like HS to add a Quickgame mode with much shorter thinktime.

This deck is superfun to play and it will be interesting to see how it develops. I haven’t tried Tar Creaper in it yet but with all those aggro zoo out there it seams like a good idea. My version right now is a bit different from this atm and I change and experiment all the time. For example I’m not sure clerics and Shields are great in it. But I might be wrong.
One card I use in it is Woodoo Doll, it it’s great to kill whatever even behind Taunts and t give Deathrattle value.

I give up. Last two games was Mage with endless fireballs at no cost and Murloc Paladin killing me turn 4. I have fun in other games, HS creates to much frustration, a feeling of beeing cheated. They never change the game, only print new even more OP cards. I want balance, interaction and feeling that both players should have a fair chance. It won't happen.
Pressing Delete felt a bit strange but good.

Nothing charged, no weapon or spell should be able to hit face.

I recently picked up HS after at least 6 months away and I'm already tired. I guess it's because the only thing that happen is they print a lot of new cards but never change (fix) the game. I would like monthly balancing before a new season, a different ladder system or at least an alterative ladder, turn off E-motes in Options, performance mode without animations, fast play mode and many other things but they feel so afraid to try new things.
Compared to other games I play HS creates more frustration and gaming is supposed to be fun. It could be amazing and I still hope for bigger changes in the future.
