Frozen Throne Class Legendary Power Ranking:

1. Rotface. Great card. Warrior synergy. RNG. 

2. Hadronox. Great with all the new taunt options for Druid.

3. Sindragosa. Super card. Unfortunately, there are already a billion super high-mana cards for Mage to play. Can't play 'em all. Opens a new type as a dragon, though. 

4. Professor Putricide. Free secret, and a soft taunt. The secret is random, so the opponent has to play around all the crazy secrets that never get play. Value!

5. Archbishop Benedictus. I'm told that he's good in the right hands. I haven't seen him used effectively yet. I'll stick him in the middle. 

6. Lilian Voss. RNG is always fun. Stats are fine for the cost. Not bad. 

7. Bolvar, Fireblood. Tough to get a good combo with him. Even for that 1-in-a-million hand where you manage to combo him well, all you get is a big minion. Kinda like Galvadon. He looks amazing, though. Points for that. 

8. Moorabi. Just too pricey for the small effect. Gets small bonus for being a knife-wielding troll, though. 

9. Blood-Queen Lana'thel. How many times can you discard before you discard this card? If you push your luck, you might get a 5-cost 4/6 with lifesteal. That's a best case scenario, and it's not really a game changer

Everyone seems to like this card. It's a nice design - forces us to pick between to great hero powers. 

But...no one plays it. Dinomancy should be a 1-cost card. 2 mana for Hunter is too expensive. You really want to play this early game, but you can't because Hunter HAS to get something on the board early. 

As a 2-cost card, you almost want to mulligan it away. 

My first 12-win deck! I can't claim much credit. I had 2 eviscerates, 2 vilespline, 1 envenom, and 1 assassinate. Only 1 big minion - a volcanosaur. Card draw with Sprint and Mimic. 

In addition to those cards, the discover cards consistently gave me great options. 

How do you make a dinosaur expansion and forget to put good dinosaurs in it?

My experience as a f2p:

Started over two years ago. Lost constantly to decks full of legendaries (Sylvannas into Boom into Grommash into Nefarian into...). You think about legendaries, but it also takes a year just to get the rares you need. Took me forever to get Eaglehorn Bow and Savannah Highmane.

I think I only stuck with it because I had enough "hearthstone" type moments where I won a game I should have lost or topdecked the perfect card. It did feel good to beat the decks with all the cards, even if it happened infrequently. Plus, HS would kick in the occasional "free" legendaries from adventures. Those were really nice to have. Loatheb!

Arena was great, and so was tavern when it started. Those are places a f2p can still experience the fun cards.

Eventually, I had some legendaries (Maly was my first and Doom was my first craft).

Early on, I was sure I was losing simply because I didn't have the cards that others had. Turns out I was right. My rank has grown slowly with my collection over the years. Skill and strategy is basic enough that it comes really quickly. The collection comes slowly. 

Un'goro has been tough because so many of the good cards are legendaries or epics. On the other hand, just about any cheap aggro deck does fine in un'goro. When they announced quests, I thought for sure they would give one random quest free to everyone. They wouldn't introduce a new mechanic and not make it available to everyone, right?

I hope my stampede includes a tundra rhino.

Change him, then. It's a crime for Krush to be unplayable, especially in a dinosaur expansion. Best intro in the game.

Only one thing matters in un'goro - King Krush must be playable. You can't have a dinosaur expansion that doesn't involve the King.

Handbuff sucks because stats don't matter in hearthstone. Especially when you sacrifice so much tempo to generate those stats. 

 

 

 

I spend all my gold on arena, so I only get old gods packs now. I would like to see the reward RNG's between whispers and classic. How else will I ever get my Savannah Highmane!

The Stonetusk Boar combos are faster and more consistent, you may want to check this deck https://www.hearthpwn.com/linkout?remoteUrl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.hearthstonetopdecks.com%2fdecks%2fboar-hunter-akatsu-ashes-of-outland%2f

The Boar combo package (2x Scavenger's, Boars, Scrapshots, Ramkahens) is also good enough to work stand-alone in hybrid decks as long as you don't have other beasts of course, like this one (not mine, not tacking credit here) https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1345464-tempo-boar-hunter-legend-deck-65-win-rate-not-otk

I actually got legend on EU with that hybrid, as long as you are not facing too many Warriors it really does work, although it can be a bit inconsistent at times. But dropping Ram + two 4/4 Boars on turn 5 and going face against a DH that suddenly has to start trading is a feeling that's worth the troubles lol

I'm experimenting now with a combo package that includes Zixor, Scavenger's, 2x Diving Gryphon, 2x Ramkahens, 1x Thundra and 1x Webreaver - you're basically guaranteed to draw the Prime by turn 8 with those double tutors, I even got an OTK charge combo with a 0-cost Thundra in one game too... we'll see lol.

The meta is very aggressive then the normal dragon/face/highlander is more effective, if the meta shifts to more control and slow builds then yes but don't looks like will happen.

Zeph knows the classic cards, but not anything else. It should be pretty easy to code "if deathrattle give Hex" "If multiple give mass dispel"

A simple solution to this is zeph should be coded to offer hex or poly always as one option if the opponent has a deathrattle onboard as it simply doesn't perceive the threat of the deathrattle it only looks at stats. So if your board is bigger it's unlikely you will get that as your option unless it's a taunt stopping lethal.

I tried this deck. Lost twice aggainst Rez Priest (those goddamn albatroses), and once aggainst Highlander Hunter. Won only aggainst Galakrond Rogue.

Here are my list of the worse class card from each class and why:

Demon Hunter: Fel Summoner
Druid : Ysiel Windsinger 
Shaman : Vivid Spores
Warrior : Bulwark of Azzinoth
Rogue : Cursed Vagrant - A decent card, and very good arena card. But it doen't fit the rogue class, and "good value 7 drops" are not constructed material, except maybe for druid. 

OK. Now go for the polite disagreements : cards that are not currently played but may be in the future.

 Warlock: Keli'dan the Breaker - a 6 mana hard removal that gives you a body is a decent control tool, and it may find its place in a future contorl warlock. Door to darkness or whatever its english name sounds like a much shittier candidate, as it is not reliable enough for a combo deck and not good for anything else.

Mage :Imprisoned Observer- Due to extreme diversity of mage decks, most mage cards are good this one packs some punch. He may be a very solid card if some midrange mage deck shows up. On the other hand, I see the Solarian Prime as an opeless outgunned legend.

Paladin : Lady Liadrin - She looks awfully weak, but it turns out that getting a hand refilled with 0 cost +1/+1 buff librams is actually a powerfull move. She is one of the win conditions in Pure Paladin

Priest :Imprisoned Homunculus - A fantastic Turn 1 play for control decks, or a great way to throw one mana. Great defensive card, played in some priest control decks.

Hunter : Nagrand Slam - In standard, it gets some playtime in some highlander hunter. In Wild, it is very great with Spiteful Summoner and allows for a playable hunter deck. Meanwhile, Helboar or Imprisoned Felmaw sit on the shelves

Why complain about how a card mechanic is too hard to work around while also believing it's not OP?  It is rarely seen in any deck lists, so what is there to complain about anyway? It's not the only card with a "useless" mechanic, and it'll hardly be the last. I also don't see the issue with its mechanic either. If you need more than 15 seconds to think about your turn, then Nozdormu, a Legendary card, is doing its job. 

/thread, next please. 

Disagree on Nagrand Slam, it has a natural home in Highlander Hunter, very versatile card and has won me many games. It's a "board-in-a-card" that doubles up as possible removal for small/medium boards AND a 6 to 12 damage reach/finisher, which also allows you to play Dinotamer more freely without fear that you'll run out of reach if properly responded. Coming after a DQ Alex turn it also means that an opponent (like priest for example) has likely spent some resources dealing with a huge board already, and might not have an answer for another one (and yet another one if you're counting Zixor Prime). Being able to play 0-cost dragons from Alex on the Nagrand turn is also pretty good.

If you want to pick Hunter cards that are underperforming and have seen little to no play, you should look at Helboar and Beastmaster Leoroxx.

I also think Vivid Spores isn't as terrible as you make it out to be, I often pick it in Totem Shaman from the spell lackey. I think the problem is atm Shaman is so weak that can't afford to run yet another card that requires you to be ahead on board otherwise is a dead draw - Totemic Reflection and Splitting Axe already are that way... but in a deck whose win condition is basically to make small minions/totems stick to the board to buff them and possibly finish with Bloodlust, a card like Vivid Spores would be basically a win condition. Soul of the Forest does the same in Druid to threaten Savage Roar and is played right now, the difference is that Druid cheat mana like nothing and can afford it, Shaman can't... yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Vivid Spores becomes viable when more tools are added in the next expansions.

You're not alone..  Resurrect Priest makes me want to auto-concede. It's long and boring. Every game feels the same against them.

Core Hound? Really?
