    Thanks! Also thanks to JibbaNerbs for explaining my train thought! Here goes mine!

    =================================

    In the land of eternal starlight

    His group is known by their own right

    When his enemies have a blank

    He will attack in a flash

    Yet in no deck his use is proper

    For he is...

    posted a message on best way to save up on gold?

    So the best way to save up gold is:

    1. Average 12 wins on arena

    2. Not spend any gold on anything ever

    As 1 is close to impossible and 2 is not the point of hearthstone (unless you get your kicks from only having more gold and nothing else), I guess what you really mean is the most efficient way to accumulate and spend gold for packs.

    Then daily quests are the most efficient way of doing it (unless you have a great average in arena). But instead of buying packs, do arena runs to purchase the packs (unless your average is below 3 wins).

    posted a message on What is Your BOLD Prediction for the most overlooked card of Kobolds & Catacombs?

    For me the most overlooked card is, by far Call to Arms. I think that card can be absolutely crazy. In zoo it can get you around 6/9 stats, and gets three low impact cards from your deck. In control people say "you don't want drawing Doomsayer". But what if you want? You add two Dirty Rat and two Doomsayer to your deck. Whenever you need you get a Dirty Rat and two Doomsayer (or the other way round). It feels like a very good panic button. It also helps you get rid of those draws after turn 4, and get your higher impact cards.

    And that is my BOLD Prediction for the most overlooked card of Kobolds & Catacombs!

    posted a message on Is the 50 pack pre-order worth it?

    It really depends a lot. If you are F2P and are thinking spending money for a first time and only pre-order, you'll find it a little bit overwhelming. If you are fine spending money and will also spend a lot of gold on packs (or even more money) to get most of the set, you won't find a better offer for your buck.

    I pre-ordered Un'goro and saved dust and gold for KFT. And I am way happier with my KFT experience. Un'goro only gave me one quest (The Marsh Queen) and got all the bad epics and not single good epic (best was my one Meteor. And don't have a single playable legendary.

    With KFT I had a lot of dust, and pre-purchasing Un'goro meant I had a lot of gold saved. Got some good DKs from pack, and crafted the DK (+ Lich King, looking to craft Keleseth from the extra dust from this expansion), while epics were not as important in this expansion. So over all I am very happy.

    For me this expansion looks like Un'goro. Epics are amazing, legendary are meh. As I hate crafting epics and I liked KFT so much I didn't save enough gold, I actually pre-ordered to make sure I get the common and rares, and some extra dust. And will be saving my dust and gold for the next expansion

    Neutral. Beast. 4 Stats for 1 mana. Strong early game. No synergy needed. Just good, very good. I can see this being played over Alleycat, as it is harder to kill for control (love to see a Frostbolt on this), where snowballing from turn 1 matters a lot more.

    Oddly enough, most comments are on par with the actual worth of the card. Maybe because people are not thinking of crazy unlikely combos you can do with this. This is a very good card. If it doesn't see play in constructed, it'll at least be very good in arena.

    No. Won't see play. Its worst than Light's Justice, a card that no one thinks about playing in their deck. The immune part will most likely heal you some. But it is more important to control the board with a weapon, and not that many minions are left with 1 health to make it consistently a control tool. N'Zoth's First Mate only saw play, because its synergy with other cards, or because it could be buffed. Neither one are options for hunter.

    Vanilla 2/1 is less than 1 mana worth. Arcane Missiles is worth less than 1 mana. This card is no way worth 3 mana, even if you use only one card instead of two. Would be an incredible card for two mana, excellent for arena, not good enough for constructed. With 3 mana, it is still dust it. As you don't need it in your collection to draft it in arena.

    This is out right "dust it". At most you are getting 1 mana off this card. And you need to have the weapon in your hand. If you have Val'anyr your are still very likely to float one mana any way. So no real tempo gain. Blackwater Pirate was never even close to seeing play.

    Basically, it is 5 mana 6/6 with 4/4 charge. That is very good. But then you need to have consistently two minions up at the beginning of turn 5. I'll say that is slightly less than 50% of times happening. So not consistent enough to see constructed play, But a very interesting option, specially in token Shaman. I like the card. The pay off is worth it. But the requirement is high.

    So Mind Vision was bad because it could get you minions? I didn't even see experimentation in Razakus. So I'm sure this won't see any.

    I mean, it will see play in my Archbishop Benedictus deck where I try to play your cards. But except that, just won't see any play. This is an early game card. And early game cards are to control those aggro decks. Against those, you are spending 1 mana to get Power of the Wild. The meta has to be very control orientated to see play, and then, Razakus is already great against control to need to play this card.

    posted a message on New Paladin Spell - Potion of Heroism

    I.... I... I don't know. I mean, Hand of Protection is not worth 1 mana and a card. Then draw a card is not worth two mana and a card (Hint: Flare Call Pet Purify Roll the Bones Commanding Shout). Bloodmage Thalnos and Loot Hoarder don't see play in Paladin. Not even Blessing of Wisdom. So, by stats, not good enough. Mainly because of the value of a divine shield in turn 2, is not that big as in turn 6. And 2 mana cost cards are either good in turn 2, or are not getting any better later on (exception crazy good combos like Sleep with the Fishes).

    This card depends a lot on the prevalence of Lynessa Sunsorrow. If that card sees play, this is worh 2 cards drawn. That is good. If that card sees no play (loads of discussion still on that one), then this card will not see play either. So stop that 60% very good rating!

    WOW! 19 pages of posts in 5h! 42,7% Meta-defining votes! Really? This is an awesome meme card. You know, those decks your favourite streamers play, and you got the card, but are missing those 2,000 dust to make, and those cards needed are not used in any other deck? Yes, that kind of deck! (Remember when they played Madam Goya in Shaman?). Basically, you are either playing mil, to get it fast, which is by itself a bad deck. Or the high roll scenario is too unlilkey. Most decks will punish you a lot for your missing turn 4. Or, most decks run a decent target removal (and yes, they know they will need it soon to not use it and keep it).

    Hearthstone is a lot of fun for its meme decks. The streamers that play tier 1 decks don't do as well as those that play those more meme, lesser tier decks. And I love these type of card exists (please Blizzard, make sure I don't get it, I already got Moorabi). But no way this card is worth Meta-Defining or so much discussion.

    This card is going to be great... for that tavern brawl we have to play with the decks they imagined making this expansion (yes, A Frozen Recipe was fun). Else... Won't see any play or place in any deck. 4 Mana 3/3 is still too bad.
