Sounds like a good strategy. So completely opposite of what I’ve been getting in my runs 😀

I’ve seen this argument before, but I completely disagree with it. I don’t see how using the dust for something else you need is “wasting it”. Of course, if you spend your Dust compulsively on stuff you don’t really need (you’ve seen that meme Legendary in some video and want to play it, then realize that it sucks after 10 games and never play it again), that’s another story. Then you can indeed waste it. But if you use it to craft a good, meta Legendary for decks you play right now, then it’s in no way wasting. Having the dust frozen on a card that might never be played again – THAT is wasting.

If you had an option to trade a card that you don’t need now, but you might need in the future (not necessarily, you might also never need it) for a card that you’re 100% sure you need, wouldn’t you do it? That’s what dusting the nerfed cards is. You trade a nerfed Legendary for a Legendary of your choice. And you’d ALWAYS take a Legendary of your choice over a fixed one.

And even if we take the mindset of worrying about future (“I might still need it”) – Dust is ALWAYS more preferable than a card, because it’s more flexible, there’s really no exception. You can disenchant Elysiana right now and if you worry that you might need her later, you can always keep the Dust instead of using it. Have 1.6k reserved for Elysiana in case she sees play and use it only after she rotates out (I assume that most people don’t really care about Wild that much) or you’re really convinced that you won’t need her. This way if she ends up seeing play again, you just craft her with on loss with your reserved dust. And if she doesn’t, you got a full disenchant cost for free.

The only situation I see when disenchanting nerfed card is not worth it is when it sees common play right after the nerfs. E.g. if it’s only a few days after the nerfs, the meta is settling down again, and the card is still played. Then, assuming YOU are also playing it right now, keep it. But even in that case, if you don’t play any decks that run the card right now, I would also DE it, because who knows, you might not play it for the next few months and after that it might no longer be common. Well, that, or if someone has so much Dust and big collection that he really does not care, but it probably only concerns whales.

If they don’t stop seeing play at all, then I guess that there’s no need to DE them if you’re playing the deck right now. If you don’t play Rogue right now, I’d still disenchant them.

This is the fourth time we see this Brawl (second time in Standard). Comments below this one might be outdated!

Please, read it again carefully. You even quoted a relevant part. I really know what I’m talking about 🙂

Yes, it is 🙂

Yeah, because when Hall of Fame hits, you get a full Dust refund – it’s based on the crafting cost and not disenchanting cost 🙂

Well yeah, the patch came out of nowhere to be honest. I didn’t think that they will go for it so close after the Dalaran Heist launch.

First of all, like Ocv28 said, you only get 1.6k Dust from disenchanting a Golden Legendary. So it wouldn’t make sense.

Second, promo Legendaries that are given for free usually can’t be disenchanted. See Marin the Fox and Zayle. So it probably will be the same.

Why should everybody forget one of the best nerfs they’ve done in a while?

Most likely not.

It’s worth only for Hall of Fame rotation. When a card gets nerfed, it’s not worth it.

Just make sure to disenchant everything that got nerfed – even if the card ends up seeing play in the future, you can re-craft it then with no loss. There’s no point in “saving” cards that “might” see play 🙂

We would, but we still don’t exactly know that. Since they are random, and some seem to appear pretty rarely, it’s hard to really pin-point which boss appears in which chapter. But we’ll add it once we figure that out! 🙂

You can give it to a friend 🙂

Not exactly out of context. We knew that Token Druid is a thing, and most of people were evaluating how it would fit into Token Druid (the deck they knew was very good many times in the past).

Current Token Druid is not that different from the builds we had in the past – it’s still the same game plan of flooding the board, making it stick and finishing the game with Savage Roar.

So if most people rated it lowly on the premise of “the card would be bad in Token Druid”, I would not say that the information were insufficient. If it was rated lowly based on “Token Druid won’t see play anyway”, then such ratings shouldn’t be made with just a few cards from the set known.

But to be fair – any pre-expansion rating is just imperfect, period. Cards that were revealed in the middle of the season? Still not enough information. Even when everything was out – we didn’t really know how the meta will shape up, which is one of the biggest factors for whether a card will see play. I make those articles to look at the past mistakes and hopefully do not repeat them in the future. I’ve got much better at judging cards compared to when I started writing pre-expansion predictions around TGT, but I’m still making tons of mistakes. It’s still fun – I like the reveal season even more than the early days of the expansion to be honest! 😀

When you open the adventure, you have big arrows that let you flip the pages to the next chapters. You just flip it to Chapter 2 and the option to buy it should be there 🙂

Control Hunter definitely sounds cool, and it’s more viable than it was back in the day (when it was just a complete meme), but it’s still not good enough. The biggest problem with Control style Hunter is the lack of proper AoE clear. It’s always been the #1 thing that stopped real Control Hunter decks. Once your opponent develops a bigger board, you’re basically done as a Hunter.

Another issue are limited ways of gaining card advantage. When Deathstalker Rexxar was still in Standard, that problem was fixed, because that single card was all you needed. But it’s gone now. Ideally, Control decks want to gain card advantage without actually getting closer to fatigue, which is another reason why Warrior is so strong – cards like Omega Assembly or Dr. Boom, Mad Genius let them gain a lot of value without digging deeper into their decks.

So long story short, while somewhat close, Hunter still doesn’t have what it takes to play Control. You CAN try that, and it should be a fun experiment, but I don’t think it will be viable.

One Hero will be enough, because it’s much longer than the usual adventures 🙂

You should thank Blizzard – they provided us with ten copies of adventure to give out! 🙂
