Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Oh, and played the Brawl the other night, after a friend of mine challenged me to bring a deck against his (unknown) deck. I threw together a quick Zoolock, tried some games out against randos, and refined the deck. Pitted it against his...Amara Priest. It was actually really tight. Deathrattles become much better when they have charge, allowing you to proactively get value off of them, and Amara as an 8/8 charger that also puts you out of reach of burst...is pretty scary!
I won a Bo5 3-2, and it was a good time overall. Pterrordax was my MVP, because it immediately adapts for very bursty value, like attack + windfury for 14 damage to face. Second place was PO + Void Terror, basically my Exodia. Things like double PO on some 2/2s to get 6/6s, hit for 12, Void Terror them both and hit for 15. Never got a double Void Terror, sadly.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Looks like Kolento was a decent choice for the pick a champion thing. He went to the finals, and I got four packs out of it. Too bad he didn't win, I might have got more.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
I picked Hoej on a whim, so 4 packs for me. However, I'm annoyed that I have to wait until the new expansion for the new card pack rules to kick in.

Nice! I got four packs. I don't even remember who I picked, but definitely four packs.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
My score is 1 (picking Thjis), 4 (picking frozen), 2 (don't remember who I picked).
So... Maybe average.Originally Posted by actual quote from this forum

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
I think I've gotten 4, 3 and 2 from those, so a little above average?

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
I got two packs from this round, but I can't remember who I picked. I guess I was pretty much closing my eyes and throwing darts.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Did....did Quest Rogue hold the metagame together? Because ever since the nerf, it has been Jade Druid after Jade Druid.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
It's a response to the reaction against quest rogue leaving. People were like "yay, the aggro is gone!" so they all pulled out their control decks. Which lose to Jade. Jade was also able to tech out the tar creepers due to loss of aggro in the meta, further improving its match against other control decks with an extra card or two.
So, what to do? Well, try pirate warrior, it's still a great aggro deck and I don't see a lot of Golakka Crawlers right now. I'd also suggest Murloc Paladin, aggressive hunter, or one of the bloodlust shaman variants, all of which can roll over a jade player before they stabilize.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
The Fire Festival has ended; there goes your double gold.
However, the Frost Festival has begun, which means a free arena ticket for everyone! Plus you get a quest for a free pack if you play 3 arena games.
Looks like I'm dusting off my Wild Arena run ;_;
The Tavern Brawl is pre-constructed decks for either Mage or Paladin. There are 1/4 Ragnaros dummies on each person's board that can't attack and deal 4 damage to your opponent's face when they die; the heroes are immune to all other forms of damage. You can kill your own dummy for damage to your opponent and they respawn after they die, so you can continue doing damage if you can kill multiple dummies a turn.Last edited by Joran; 2017-07-19 at 01:26 PM.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Makes sense. I am terrible at reading the metagame.
I have got a 7 win arena with my free ticket which is great considering I had almost no idea what I was doing most of the time. Also I shouldn't have picked that second Bomber Squad. A Warrior with no control cards simply doesn't have enough life and while Bomber Squads are a great answer for many minions the body of the minion is simply lacking, penalizing your Tempo gain with a tempo loss a turn later.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Welp that's what I get for dragging my feet on the daily quests. But I already have about 2k stored up so that's fine.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Man I'm glad I got my quest in this morning before going to work, got it before the double gold expired. Close to 3k gold now, so 500 ahead of where I'd hoped to be this time next month. Doing pretty good on the gold front.
And now free arena? I usually don't arena but hey, for free and bonus pack reward I will give it a shot.If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Depends on draw, I think. If Paladin gets board early they can just go nuts with buff spells and bully the Mage before their spells really come into play. Mage has much better burst options, and if they get the board in the midgame it's just kind of over for the Pally.
I'm quite enjoying it, I've played 5 and won 5, 3 with Paladin and 2 with Mage. A couple of those wins were due to people not realizing how important it is to stop your opponent from killing your dummies repeatedly in one turn.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
This is really the key part. The Paladin deck has a lot of aggressive minions that it can lay down, and if multiple minions with 4+ attack stick on the board, the game ends fairly quickly. If the Mage doesn't have the Ooze to counter it, the Truesilver Champion in the Paladin deck also counts as 8 damage to face while all of the Mage removal only counts as 4 each.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
I won mine, as Jaina, mainly because of Baron Geddon. It would have gone much differently if my opponent hadn't prioritized killing the dummies above anything else; he also might not have realized that my Geddon killing my dummy would actually be all upside for me.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Wound up going 3-3 with my free arena run (4-3 after the free win). Drafted a Paladin deck, with none of the good paladin cards. Seriously, not a single Spikeridge Steed, Stonehill Defender, Equality, Consecration, Truesilver Champion, Dinosize, or any of the other cards that make Paladin good/fun was offered once. My one legendary card was Alextraza, who was borderline useless with my deck type (I played her in 3 of 6 games, and died the turn after every time I played her). So with all of that taken into account I felt like I did exceptionally well, especially since 0-3 arenas are not uncommon for me.
Anyway got some gold and a couple packs, hoping to do better next week.If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
I got 3-3 with a fairly lackluster Priest (a single SW:D and a Holy Nova were my total removal), would have done better if I hadn't gotten DCed in the middle of my third match. Went from total board control to a lost match in 3 missed turns, and the next two were losses as well.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
+1 to the Paladin deck being fairly bonkers if it gets a good hand. In my first win, I had T2 Nerubian Egg, T3 Scarlet Purifier, T4 Truesilver, T5 Egg + Purifier. Jaina conceded rather than try to prevent the turn-6 lethal.

Re: Hearthstone 20: What is your Quest?
Although the Paladin can get amazing hands, it's definitely up to them to get the win. The Mage will win by default , simply due to their ability to stay on top of the board and grind it out. Paladin has to get an advantage and snowball it to win, Mage just has to stop them from doing so.
