I’ve just seen the deck for the first time 🙂 We’ll see, if it will stay in the meta, it will definitely get onto the list when I update it!

Devs said that they are going to monitor the current situation closely and let us know next week. So we’ll probably know in a few days!

The decks have a very similar win rate as of now, but it’s still very early into the meta, so things might change in a week or two. However, I’m 100% sure that some kind of Tempo Demon Hunter will be viable (unless it’s nerfed once again), that’s why I put it at #1. I’m positive that Galakrond Warlock will also be good, but I’m not as sure as in case of DH 🙂

Boomsday Project solo content, some puzzles were bugged because Power Word: Shield no longer drew a card.

Genn actually does work with Demon Hunter! It just changes the cost of your HP from 1 to 1 🙂

I mean, not every class should have a viable Odd and Even deck. Just imagine that the deck never existed 🙂

I do understand why they decided to nerf Aldrachi Warblades. One of the main weaknesses of Demon Hunter is the fact that you have to hit minions often to remove them, so you run out of health pretty quickly. But the Lifesteal of Aldrachi combined with extra damage from Hero Power, Twin Slice and Chaos Strike often negated that disadvantage. DH could easily heal for 20+ in a single game (Warblades + Eye Beam) and it didn’t feel fair.

That’s probably even better 😀 Akama seems to be one of the stronger cards from the set IMO!

I actually got it now after re-logging. Got Golden Zixor, pretty sweet 🙂

Are those duplicates Commons by any chance? Because you open all of the Commons after ~30 or so packs. And then you start getting duplicates.

Because the system absolutely worked for me.

I thought that everyone is sure about crafting Maiev in golden! 😀

Yep, correct, fixed!

Damn, I checked it and I could still create a new run when posting this guide :/ Guess they disabled it shortly after…

Well, it’s not really an exception! One of the rules is:

“If you’re 100% sure that you want a certain card in Golden version, craft it FIRST before opening packs.”

No, it’s not on purpose, my mistake. Fixed it.

To be fair, those are theorycraftings. No matter what theorycrafting you build, when a new player invests in it, he can get burned. Even if we look at the actual decks played on the first days, often successfully, lots of them will no longer be viable a week later. Many Legendaries that are considered amazing in the early days are no longer played mid-expansion. Theorycraftings are never something players should craft on Day 1 – at least if they don’t have a lot of Dust to spare.

I should probably add a disclaimer saying that. I always do it in every early deck list compilation from new expansions, but I didn’t here for some reason. Sorry about that.

Eh, I disagree. Those “all-new-card circus show” decks are EXACTLY what people want to play on Day 1. We could just post a bunch of Galakrond decks that will 99% be working in the new expansion, but what’s the point? Experimenting with new cards/archetypes, testing out which ones are working and which ones aren’t etc. is far more important (and fun) than just taking a deck that will nearly surely be successful and adding a couple of new cards to it.

That’s the approach we’re trying with out theorycrafts – focusing on NEW stuff, and playtesting new things to know which ones are working and which aren’t is a very valuable experience.

And who should we “let” make them instead?

I would first wait to see if this Stealth package will really be viable. And even if it will, you can try playing a budget Stealth minion instead, e.g. Jungle Panther, Stranglethorn Tiger or Wasteland Assassin. Probably Jungle Panther given that Stealth decks will most likely lean towards aggression so a lower curve would be better.

It obviously won’t be optimal, but you might test the deck out and see whether you want to commit to buying all four Chapters of Galakrond’s Adeventure.
