Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Eternal Servitude is assuredly not in Raza Priest. Raza Priest usually doesn't play big minions and has a bunch of small minions you wouldn't want to resurrect (Gnomish Inventor, Novice Engineer, Acolyte of Pain, Northshire Cleric, etc). At best you may get a Obsidian Statue (which tends to be too slow for Raza Priest), but the discover isn't guaranteed and you'd need to actually play the Obsidian Statue for full cost.
A lot of Eternal Servitudes power is tied up in being able to cheat out a big minion using Barnes or Shadow Essence and then resurrecting it the next turn.
I'm still in the "wait for people to figure out the good decks, then copy them so I can save my dust" phase. Jade Druid still works.
So far, the new decks I've played against have been Spell Hunter, Dragon Priest (not much seen last expansion), Aggro Paladin (not murlocs) and Control Warlock with the Recruit a Demon and the Voidlord. I also haven't played much ladder.Last edited by Joran; 2017-12-14 at 04:02 AM.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Up to 7/9 - Shaman I beat with double battlecries and a ton of jades, and Warlock I beat with the Scepter of Summoning + Permanent Stealth + Giants

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
7/9. Beat The Darkness on my first try with a hybrid Spell/Dragon Priest - rolling Alexstraza off my Bone Drake was the game-winning hilarity move. Also had a lot of fun with Gutmook; my Lyra Sunshard went down before Gutmook dropped Millhouse Manastorm, and I proceeded to mill his entire deck in a single turn while spawning a full board of 5/5s off Dragon Soul.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Beat The Darkness with Druid, double flag and the hilt of the sword. Was a long fight that went to fatigue because of how much freaking removal Darkness packs. Still pulled the win, though. My double battlecry Jade Druid was sadly stopped short by the boss who recruits minions for both players. And then got Avina off of Rotface. That game didn't go well.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
I've only beatn with paladin and Warlock. The candle is great if you have a lot of card draw.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Rogue was my first win, warrior my third. I just started at the top and methodically worked down the list. All i have left is Mage, after beating Xol with Big Demonlock and Scepter of Summoning. Candlebeard was harder than she was, I chained three Jaraxxuses (Jaraxxi?) back to back to stay alive before killing him.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
So, the game broke on me in Dungeon Run:
Fighting against King Togwaggle, he wound up with a Lynessa Sunsorrow in his hand thanks to the 6/6 that turns his hand into random Legendaries. He played her on a turn when he had used the treasure that reduces his minions' cost to 0 for the turn.
And the second spell she cast on herself was the Xaril potion that is basically 1 mana Shadowstep.
Yeah, the end result: he keeps playing her, she keeps returning to his hand, repeat literally ad infinitum because there's no turn timer on single-player parts of the game.
*sigh* And I thought I was actually going to win that one...Toph Pony avatar by Dirtytabs. Thanks!

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
And Mage makes 9/9. Cloak of Invisibility + Animated Armor is hax. Adding in Coldarra Drake and Mukla's Champion just makes it unfair, poor Azari didn't stand a chance.
Not impressed with the reward card back, it is very bland.Last edited by The Glyphstone; 2017-12-16 at 02:23 AM.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Just finished Dungeon Run with warrior, so my scouting runs were 3/9 finished. Had a very strange game against King Togwaggle. I almost lost to his Embers of Ragnaros, but one of them hit my stealthed shielded minibot, (Geosculptor Yip and Invisibility Cloak) and one hit another random inconsequential minion. I kept building my health back up, and he had an archmage's staff that kept giving him mage spells. Eventually the game got to the point where he just... stopped doing things. His hand was full, he kept burning stuff from his deck, but he stopped playing cards. I'm guessing his hand had just been filled with targetted removal from the staff and his hero power, and since he couldn't hit minions he just had nothing he could do.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Nothing's more irritating than a "Wins" daily with a class that you haven't locked down yet (Druid, in my case), which tends to be the situation early in an expansion, and doubly so if you're waiting for the meta to stabilize and are being stingy with dust.
Eventually I just dropped all the way to rank 19 and lucked out. Not an ideal way to win 60 gold. And then today I got For Azeroth! Which is what I get for complaining I guess*.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
I managed Warrior pretty easy - I went for a self-damage deck with +1/+1 to all and then lucked into Patrons. The dragon boss was an exciting race - could I beat him down with infinite Patrons before his chests got Whirlwinded down far enough for him to nuke all the Patrons at once?
Rogue continues to escape me, though I've gotten close. I nearly had Hunter with double-Deathrattles until I drew a hand full of 6-8-drops against the final boss.
The one that I've just never had a hope with is Mage. The card selection has always been trash, and it seems really difficult to build a deck that synergizes rather than a random collection of cards. It feels like you need a broken deck to stand a chance.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Up to 4/9 clear. After a couple stalled warlock runs, the first of which was really good and I only barely lost, I decided to try hunter. Got +1/+1 for everything, Double Health, and a bunch of stuff with deathrattle: summon stuff. Also picked up Deathstalker Rexxar. Zombeasts that come out with +1/+1 are even more hax, and are the entire reason I was able to turn around the game against round 7 Blackseed. I was losing hard until I topdecked Rexxar, and then the never-ending parade of zombeasts turned the tide with me down to 14HP/90. Next game was against Azari the Devourer. Horn of Cenarius on turn 2 pulled Two kindly grandmothers and a scavenging hyena. It was a curbstomp from there, and I won on turn 6.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
9/9!
Fun experience!
Reward is pretty bad, I don't think I'll use it, but it was overall pretty fun, even for someone who doesn't like PvE like me.
Hardest was probably Hunter. The Darkness took me down to 4 hp before my 5-mana zombeasts let me stabilise and fatigue him down. It's the only one where I ended up with more than 20 defeated bosses.
In short:
Mage: spell damage, stealth, and lots of burn
Druid: ez jades
Shaman: ez jades
Rogue: lots of "thief" stuff, Wish card won me the last games
Paladin: Justicar and +1/+1 to all.
Warlock: zoo with progressively bigger demons and +1/+1 to all
Priest: don't remember. I think dragons?
Warrior: took double life and ALL the legendaries (sadly no cost reduction), outvalued everyone. Basically like normal control warrior
Hunter: beasts, "5+ minions cost 5", Rexxar.Originally Posted by actual quote from this forum

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
5-mana Zombeasts was surprisingly powerful; I started drafting every large minion/DK Rexxar I could get. I think I've been undervaluing the 5-mana big minion treasure. I'm 3/9 on the Dungeon Run, with Hunter being my first one and done.
I talked my wife through a really strong Mage draft. She had the upgraded Hero power, then drafted 3 Coldara Drakes, so if one stuck, she'd have a stupid amount of burn. Against the last boss (the mill demon), she kept the Horn of Cenarius (recruit 3 random minions), dodged the Doomsayer in her deck, got a Coldara Drake and the rest was cake.
Edit: Just one and done with a Warlock deck. Lots of Demon synergy with 2 Voidcallers, 2 Doomguards, 2 Abyssal Enforcers, a 3/9, and top end of Gul'dan and the Warlock legendary weapon. Funniest moment was the boss and I both having 2 minions on board, he swapped the minions around and they all landed on their original side.Last edited by Joran; 2017-12-19 at 12:05 PM.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Shaman is proving to be the trickiest for me so far. No matter what I do, the starting deck is so bad and overload is so punishing and all of the card packs on offer are so awful that I can't manage to get past boss 6 or so.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Yeah, if you get bad picks there’s not much you can do.
I just cleared my Shaman with Jade carrying me through 1-6, and Wax Rager soloing 7 and 8. Managed to snag 2x death rattle and hard mulliganed for the rager every time.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Also, Xul remains the worst final boss. Think I've only managed to beat Xul once.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
Just cleared Rogue with the classic Stealth + Double Health gimmick. I'll probably try other builds later on, since this was too cookie cutter of a win. It's funny how Togwaggle can lock himself out by so many ways, especially when you're playing stealth. In my last game the guy filled the board with doom bots, and since they couldn't blow at all (read: stealth), he wasn't able to play anything else.
In another game he turned his hand into legendaries, and immediately turned that hand into copies of a silly 3-cost minion. And then still beat me. BMing much?
Just try to get Jades and/or double battlecries. If not, then try to get stealth + double health for a cheese kill. That said, of course, if the picks are too bad, there's little you can do.Last edited by Cespenar; 2017-12-19 at 03:24 AM.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
I think the scariest boss isn't one of the final ones, but actually Blackseed when he appears as the 7th boss. 1 Mana Triple Evolve is just utterly back-breaking, and I've never come close to beating him. You can't even keep his board clear since his Hero power is so cheap - he just plays below curve to make sure he can use it. Turn 5 Rattling Rascal + Evolve to give him a random 7-drop and a 5/5? Seems fair.

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
I agree, I have never beaten 1 mana evolve 3 person. Just too mana efficient for me to beat I find unless I get extremely lucky. I haven't faced trap room yet though (I hear not doing anything is a good counter though).

Re: Hearthstone 21: We DO take candle!
I beat round 7 blackseed with Deathstalker Rexxar. His stuff is super efficient, but he doesn't have efficient ways to deal with the zombeast haxx. It was super close, though.
