I wouldn’t say “required”, but it helps A LOT. 5 mana 5/6 is already decent, so hitting even 1-2 Murlocs makes it great.

You can play without him at the start, but if you want the full experience, you should get it (and depending on what other decks you play, the adventure offers a lot more value – e.g. if need it to play Tempo Warrior and it improves Dragon Hunter / Highlander Mage by a lot).

That’s what I thought! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add them soon!

It would still be a pretty difficult comparison. Old Nat would be potentially much stronger (1 mana less, 1 health more) but way less consistent (draws only 50% of time). I’m happy that the card no longer sees play, because those coin flips were awful. Seeing your opponent drawing card each turn and you missing 2-3 times in a row felt really bad :/

Don’t judge the expansion by that. I only listed cards that are played in less than 0.5% of the decks with no sifting through. At this point, it’s way too early to tell which Legendaries will get better etc. with time, so playability in the current meta is the only thing I could base the list on.

I just wouldn’t disenchant anything from the latest set, but if someone still wants to do it, those are the cards that are least useful RIGHT NOW (but I think that some of them have a lot of potential, such as Leoroxx or Ysiel).

Which Warlock builds run Hellfire? Zoo obviously doesn’t run it, neither does Galakrond version. And those are the only two in the meta.

And what cards are you talking about specifically? The ones that are played frequently but are on the list?

You’re talking about the images? I can add them when I find some time 🙂

I think there should, but there isn’t one yet :p I’ll definitely share it if it happens, though!

I think that it’s based on a % of players rather than a straight number.

E.g. top 10% of Legendary players (I’m making the % up because it was not officially announced) is “high Legend” and get 11x star multiplier.

And yes, it’s a guaranteed, super-quick Legend climb.

It’s not just about Demon Hunter, though. Getting to 500 (or any other number of) wins is not equal to being good. It just means that someone has put a lot of time into it. Of course, with time you improve, but you can play thousands of Hearthstone games and still not be playing too well, it happens. I know people who have been playing the game for years and have never reached Rank 10 (in the old system), and I know people who just picked it up and hit Legend after 2-3 months.

Are you missing some key cards like Metamorphosis, Kayn or Warglaives by any chance? Because the deck builder only picks from the decks you CAN build, so if you don’t own some of the staple Tempo DH cards that are played in basically every build, it might not offer you that build.

That’s weird, I climbed all the way from ~15k Legend to Top 1k with it last season with over 60% win rate. The deck definitely works in the current meta (unless the Gold 5 meta was completely different).

Although I have to say that it’s not the easiest deck to play, even though it might seem that way.

It seems that way – randomly generated cards are also only from the available sets.

That’s quick 😀

Thanks for the report, I fixed it.

I’m glad that you like it! 🙂

He only clears minions on the board (excluding Dormant ones), in both hands and in both decks. He doesn’t do anything about resurrect pool.

I haven’t faced almost any Highlander Priests for the past few days. I think that players are trying out Galakrond build now, so far it seems more consistent. But we’ll see how things develop – the 2nd nerf patch happened only last week, so a lot can happen.

I would say pretty much yes. I think that Shaman is the weakest class right now, Totem Shaman would probably be in Tier 3. But since we’re not doing three Tiers, I’ve decided to put it on the bottom of the list. It’s still a pretty viable deck, though, so I’d say that every class has some solid representation in the meta.

Yeah, I wonder what they could do about Arena to make it more popular and lively. It’s not a “dead format” or anything, but it certainly feels underappreciated by players and devs alike.

They won’t, they only do it when available expansions change. Right now you can still draft exactly the same decks you did before – you just have a lower chance of seeing the powerful DH & Priest cards.
