Galakrond's Awakening Card Review #1 - Shotbot, Chaos Gazer, Amazing Reno, Winged Guardian, Grand Lackey Erkh, Sky Gen'Ral Kragg, The Fist of Ra-Den and more!
Of course that needs to be adressed, then. Could be a ‘Grand Lackey’, which still is a Lackey, but not in terms of ‘discovering a Lackey’. π
But yeah, I guess that would be to confusing. Should’ve another name, then: Overseer Erkh or something like that.
Galakrond's Awakening Card Review #1 - Shotbot, Chaos Gazer, Amazing Reno, Winged Guardian, Grand Lackey Erkh, Sky Gen'Ral Kragg, The Fist of Ra-Den and more!
I already asked this in the card discussion thread … does Erkh himself count as a Lackey so that Tekahn will make him a 4/4, too? Would make sense and make him slightly better, I guess. Then again, what makes sense when it comes to Hearthstone!? π

100% sure it wasn’t when I wrote my comment … because there was no ‘best craft picture’ of him. But maybe I was blind and overlooked *shrug*.

Rastakhan’s Rumble Good Epics seem off … I didn’t see any of those cards on the ladder before and after the second nerf (when they’re not discovered, that is).
And Town Crier has to be a ‘best craft’ for sure – it’s played in every single warrior build and has a wider use than Scion (that makes up for the earlier rotation imho).
Besides that, article’s on point.
Sky Gen'ral Kragg
It has to be good in Quest Shaman. Ideally played after completion and with the help of Shudderwock later on, you’ll get a ton of rush bodies and damage.
Question is: Will Quest Shaman be any good again?
Grand Lackey Erkh
Does Grand Lackey Erkh count as a Lackey? What I want to know is if Dark Pharaoh Tekahn will set his stats to 4/4.

This! Blizzard was to slow with changes in the past, and now they are to fast.
And in 2 weeks, we’re getting 35 new cards – which means ‘next new metagame’. No chance to develop anything …
Descent of Dragons Post-Second Nerf Meta Decks - Best Hearthstone Pro & Streamer Deck Lists For All Classes
Strange. Was the first time I recognized them when checking for redundant copies of cards. π
The Amazing Reno
And there is actually not much difference (manawise) between 9 and 10. Because most of the time, the 1 mana is useless.
16.0.8 Balance Update is Out! Nerfs to Shaman, Rogue, Warlock and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza + Battlegrounds Changes
This site promotes to always disenchant cards for their full dust cost.
Imho this is true MOST of the time for cards in high rarities. But (also imho, authors of this site strongly disagree π ) if you don’t need dust you can keep cards that might still see play. For example, Dragonqueen Alexstrasza is still absolutely viable in HL decks. So, if you don’t need or want to craft anything else and you want to keep playing HL decks in Standard… keep Alex.
Besides that: Always disenchant commons. You’ll get them back over time because, well, they are common. π

Nerf Patch (16.0.8) Coming Later This Week - Nerfs to Fiendish Rites, Scion of Ruin, Ancharrr, Dragon's Pack, Invocation of Frost, Necrium Apothecary and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
Time for Murloc Overload Aggro Shaman to shine. π
Imho some of those nerfs are pretty hefty – Invocation and Scion, tbe. Galakrond into 3 7/6 on turn 10 happened more often than it should and was a superb comeback play for Galakrond Warrior.
Besides that, even if I’ll get dust, I’m more a fan of the buff strategy. In many peoples mindset, it would be a more ‘positive’ approach trying to balance the game.
Descent of Dragons Balance Changes - Shaman Nerfs Coming Next Week!
Well, who would have thought that actual dragon decks won’t be good enough in the DoD meta …
irony off
Nerfing Shaman is a good thing – I can’t remember a single expansion where there was literally ONE deck after TWO days in the expansion. o.O
I played against Shalakrond 12 times in a row yesterday … at rank 10!
That said, Token Druid sometimes beats it and has decent MUs against the rest of the field.
My calls for the nerf (even if it’s sad for f2p players): Galakronds HP will produce 1/1s with rush and his battle cry will produce 2 1/1s, 3/3s and 6/6s. Still strong enough. And they will do something with Dragon’s Pack (what a silly card). Besides that Faceless Corruptor should be a 3/4, but maybe they’ll try 4/4.
Theorycrafted Dragon Decks for Descent of Dragons - Year of the Dragon Finally Makes Sense
I like the Warlock and Warrior decks.
Besides that, I have concerns about a lot of decks looking the same – if you want to play dragons, no matter which class, a lot of cards are pre-set (same goes for HL decks in a game where the pile of cards is 30).
Aaand where is Dragonmaw Poacher? Should be in every deck day 1. π

So You Want To Build Rogue in the Descent of Dragons Meta? Rogue Card Packages + Theorycrafts
No combination of Deathrattle package and Waxadred? I can See Apothecary, Waxadred, some shuffle copies effect (just in case you draw Waxadred early) and Lots of draw.
Or is this to playful to be competitive?
No Aggro Rogue ever will run this card … it costs 5. Way too slow for anything other than Miracle Rogue – which simply uses Auctioneer.
