Oh, hahah. That’s interesting. Not sure if it should work that way, but it’s neat.

What’s the “returning player” thing? I never quit for long enough to get it :p

But the game has been really unstable on mobile lately, especially on iOS. You might want to try it on PC if you can.

Wow, that’s some nice luck, congratz! I don’t think that Legendary opening rate is higher, they would probably mention it. 2 Legendaries were guaranteed (one for buying the bundle and one in the first 10 packs) but besides that it just really depends on RNG 🙂

Yeah, no portrait is a deal breaker for me 🙁 I don’t really need more Year of the Dragon packs, but I would definitely buy it if it had a cool portrait (like last year).

First of all, I rated RIsing Winds 7/10 when reviewing it, and I certainly don’t think I underrated it. I mentioned Token Druid specifically when reviewing it, saying that the card will be good in the deck. If you mean 5 stars out of 5 stars, then that’s definitely not it, or at least not in the way I rate cards. For me, a card rated at max has to be an absolutely amazing one, a metabreaker, not just a “solid card that fits into a a single, good archetype”. If you rated it 5/5 (or 10/10 in my scale) it would mean that it’s on the same power level as pre-nerf Corridor Creeper or Giggling Inventor, for example. And there’s no way that’s true.

But in this comment chain we were talking about Embiggen Druid, not Token Druid.

Players who aren’t going to buy it got one wing for free – buying players did “overpay” in a way, but they have added 3 bonus cards to the paid wing to compensate for other being free. So free wing had 4 cards, paid wing had 7 cards.

If you face Druid mirrors commonly then I’d say that Poacher is a very good tech. Mirror is all about gaining a tempo edge over the opponent, the deck has basically no comeback mechanics so if you get ahead on the board you will be able to dictate all the trades and get even further ahead or even just kill the opponent over 2-3 turns. And, obviously, 4 mana 8/8 with Rush is a great tempo tool 🙂 E.g. you can clear their T4 Evasive Feywing and still get an 8/3 on the board. The issue is, of course, that the card is really bad against builds that don’t run many Dragons or don’t run Dragons at all. So you really need to look at your own matchup stats before deciding whether to play it or not (just like with any other tech card).

Yeah, Quest Druid will totally dig the card, 2 mana 3/2 that draws a card and adds another 2 mana 3/2 that draws a card to your hand… it’s really great. And in the worst case scenario you could even play it on T3 to summon something against Aggro or draw against Control (e.g. to look for Nourish) if you have nothing better to do.

The only issue is where to fit it, that’s always the problem at the end of Standard year when there’s just so many cards.

The problem is that 4 mana to draw 2 cards is not an amazing draw engine, and 3/2 from the spell obviously won’t benefit from Embiggen. The flexibility is – of course – a big upside, but I think that the card would only REALLY shine in Quest version. Then there’s an issue of fitting it – what would you cut to play it?

And I honestly didn’t have card draw issues when playing the deck. Played it like 15 times so far (I know, not a huge sample size, but I didn’t have much time lately) and ran out of cards maybe once or twice. It has a pretty high curve for a Midrange deck, plus it has Big Ol’ Whelp and Emerald Explorer.

Because that’s how Adventures work – you can’t craft cards from them. There would be no point buying them if you could just craft the cards you need :p

It’s technically not intended, but it’s also not a big deal so Blizzard decided to leave it the way it is.

E.g. Blizzard has informed pro players (Masters Tour Arlington starts next Friday) that they are aware of that and that it will Discovering / Generating cards will work like that and that they shouldn’t worry.

Ever since Conjurer’s Calling and Luna’s Pocket Galaxy nerf in Saviors of Uldum, the class wasn’t doing too well. While Highlander Mage is okay, it’s also very expensive and not many players run it. Plus it didn’t get any new cards yet – I imagine that some of the new cards might be playable in the deck (like new Reno will definitely get tested), then we should see more Mage decks.

Yeah, YT does have drops, but they weren’t implemented for Blizzard games yet.

As for the second part, what TV do you have? I think that you should be able to watch Twitch on most of them. Even if not through an app, then through a web browser. I thought that I can’t watch Twitch on my LG TV and then I found that there’s an app for that (called Backseat Gamer).

Sorry, but I have never heard of him. I don’t know who played it first, wiRer shared it on Twitter and didn’t mention that he took the deck from someone else. And both this video and the wiRer’s Tweet were posted on January 22.

Even if it’s normal Quest, I’m not sure if rolling will really change that. If there are eight of them in total, it might mean that if you finish all of them you will get regular Quests until the event is over.

But I hope that we’ll learn more about them before the event starts.

Wait, actually, now that I think about it I’m not sure how they will do it. They didn’t mention Legendary Quests in the update info. And I honestly don’t remember how they did it a year ago.

Sorry about the confusion, I guess that we’ll just have to wait until next week and see.

Quests aren’t tied to each day. E.g. you can finish Quest 1 on Day 1, then skip Day 2 and on Day 3 you will still have Quest 2. Then you will be one day “behind” and you will get everything done on Day 9. Skip 2 days and you will be done on Day 10. Not sure how to explain it better…

It means that if you skip a few days because you won’t be able to play the game etc. you will still be able to get all Quests done.

That’s way too perfect. Blizzard needs to do it.

Maybe he hit his head and forgot that he’s a Dragon? That would be so true to his goofy character.

That sounds really cool. I’m glad that they decided to make Reno a Dragon after all, it’s amazing that they decided to turn a 3.5 years old fan theory into a reality and in such a big way. I can’t wait to play the rest of chapters 🙂
