that trailer theme is catchy, though

He's pretty small so he fits pretty much wherever he wants Kappa

first from a pack was Illidan Stormrage (have gotten him 3 times in total)

first crafted was Ysera

Thx a lot. Real question: Is there a sense destroy golden Thalnos to get Ragnaros?

personally I wouldn't DE thalnos. he's not the first legendary I'd craft, but he's still valuable and you'll likely want him eventually. but, if your mind is made up, I'd basically agree with Rag and either Cairne or Sylvanas. if you played Paladin or Warrior, I'd consider Tirion or Grom. the other class specific legendaries are generally a little behind those, but if you've got a strong inclination toward one of them, or perhaps Ysera or Alex, I don't think it would be wrong (Ysera was the 1st legendary I crafted myself, but the meta was slower then even though its slowed down of late, and may slow some more after the Buzzard nerf)

I wonder how much of that 75% is completely and/or mostly inactive. that would probably alter the numbers rather significantly.

well this makes my decision between Thalnos and Leeroy for my next craft easier :P

the changes do seem a little excessive though, and I don't play hunter

Question to all: based on the current meta, what should I craft?

 

I'm thinking of the following:

Bloodmage Thalnos

Leeroy Jenkins

The Black Knight

Tirion Fordring

If you have any suggestions, feel free to reply.

 

TBK's value has skyrocketed IMO since Naxx (before I thought he was a little overrated, although still a really strong card). So I think he's your default option among those 4, but if you have a strong preference for aggro decks (or one of the control/midrange decks that sometimes run him like Handlock or Shaman), then Leeroy might edge him out. Likewise, if you really want to play Paladin, I don't think Tirion would be a mistake at all. Thalnos is great, but replaceable until you get the other legendaries you really want. I'd craft him 2nd after The Black Knight if you don't have a strong desire to play aggro or Paladin, or 3rd or 4th if you do.

well Lightning Storm is pretty much a must in a Shaman deck, whereas Earth Ele certainly isn't, but if you're interested in playing Shaman, I'm not sure I'd disenchant a playable epic from the same class, unless you know for sure you're only ever going to want to play one specific Shaman deck, because you might want to play around with it. DEing 1 Earth Ele is only going to give you enough dust for 1 Storm anyway. and 200 dust doesn't take too long to collect. So I wouldn't do it, though technically, yes, given Lightning STorm's importance to any Shaman deck, its probably "worth" it

that's a pretty fantastic card back. definitely will be in rotation with black temple, ice crown, and occasionally the heroic naxx card back.

Right now, we are in one of the best Metas ever, second to Post Undertaker Nerf. Before BRM, Face Hunter(also Mech Mage) was king and there was not one deck that could say no. At one point Face Hunter was 3-0ing most tournaments(Knife juggles once won at car!).That was intill Patron Warrior, which is the answer to all those decks we used to rage about. Before Patron, there was not a single deck that could easily beat most aggro decks. Even favored match ups seem like a coin toss. Think Heavy Ramp ,and Classic Control Warrior, these decks could win easily, but needed the right early draws. Other wise, your sometimes newbie oppent would slowly beat you down. That was intill Grim Patron.

Finally a deck that new players could enjoy the warrior class with, some lists still run at 800 dust. On the other hand, the deck is not easy to play. Most of the time, its either the rope, or yourself that will lose the game in one turn. Also, the deck has plenty of bad match ups, and single handily brought Handlock back into the Meta.

So unless everybody starts (getting in here) mastering a deck that even most pro players can't play well, stop crying. I think Patron is a crazy op deck, but is great for the game overall. As it beats other decks which are worse, that also had few bad match ups. I don't think Grim Patron Warrior needs any Miracle Rogue like nerfs, maybe just some fine tuning on the OTks. Also, I think Blizzard should swing the nerf hammer more carefully in the future. Ideally, nerfs would be more minor, and would not 100% destroy fun decks.

I dont understand... patron warrior has good matchups, bad matchups, sometimes the deck shits in your face... I dont see a point in nerfing the deck...

I think my kidneys are dying :( ... of a salt overdose.

But seriously, come on, games like this are supposed to be fun yeah? Most of us have lives to go back to and things to do, its not like everyone takes games as seriously as some of the people in this thread. I mean, why do you even play in the first place if all you are going to do is rage about it and quit? Sure, sometimes you can get frustrated because of the time investment/monetary investment that has given you nothing, but how will this affect you in real life in any way shape or form? Come on, get some common sense and move on with your lives.

TlL;DR Just CHILL, people

Takes a long time to decide whether to play the Webspinner or the Webspinner.

yup.

It's a Flamewaker not a walker why cant people get this right. -_-

Best Banana Brawl moment... winning the first match I played so I don't have to bother with it for the rest of the week.

Rag vs Nefarion was fun, this one doesn't interest me.

All those hate comments about Tavern Brawl annoy the hell out of me.

It is a FREE new mode with a FREE card pack weekly as a reward. You earn even your daily gold there and can complete your quests. It is a casual fun oriented mode. To read comments like "It is a diaster" or "Brawl is a fail" is really annoying. I am happy and grateful to Blizzard who made this mode for free. Even if you do not like the specific brawls, learn to be grateful for Blizzard to have implemented a free mode.

Quote from Ignopius jump

Lol people defending this are so illogical. It's impossible to play around double frothing combo while still putting fourth board advantage with almost every strong deck in the game.  This is such a broken combo and its really not hard to tell. 

Patron Warrior's bread and butter is dealing tremendous burst damage from their hand. You should be able to determine whether the Warrior you're playing against is a Patron Warrior or a Control Warrior and then adjust your playstyle. If you're really late in the game and your opponent hasn't played all his combos, you should assume that a combo is coming and make sure you have a way to prevent or mitigate it.

Example: just last night I was playing against a Warrior, had progressed pretty far into the game, and was closing in on a win. I had a 1/2 with taunt and a 2/3 up, and for the first time in the game he was in a good position to combo, so I ran both of those minions into his 5/5 before killing it, just to prevent him from having targets to spawn extra Patrons.

Keep in mind that, even if from your point of view it was bullshit and "came out of nowhere," that the Warrior has spent the entire game up to that point stalling you, inching you closer to lethal range, and fishing for the cards needed to pull off the win.

Now, to address something even more important... Even if it really was impossible to play around it (which is not true), how often do Warriors actually pull off a double Frothing combo? How many Patron Warriors do you face in a day, a week, a month?

No deck is going to win 100% of the time. No player wins 100% of the time. Even if you play perfectly and the opponent just gets lucky, you're going to lose plenty of games. That doesn't mean the game isn't balanced.

If you get hung up on a single loss, you're not approaching this game with the right frame of mind. Individual wins and losses don't matter, it's all about the big picture.

They should add an additional daily quest related to Tavern Brawl. Doesn't have to reward as much as the other quests, just offer a little incentive to continue playing it each day.
