Not a huge fan of this adventure thing they came up with, because new players will inevitably see it as a paywall, even tho 20k gold is not hard to farm for me in this game. I know I hated it in HS, for example.

But still, new cards hype!!!!

Yeah I don't like the idea of adventure at all, but yeah 20k isn't that hard at least.

For that entry fee,
you can buy yourself 4 drafts
which I'll do instead.

The 12 legendaries that you get are probably worth it on their own even if you destroy them all for Shiftstone

If you destroyed them,
wouldn't they be gone for good?
You can't craft them, right?

Seems that currently they cannot be destroyed or crafted. Unless they decide to change how it works down the road.

unpacked a plated demolisher, possibly one of the worst legendaries in the game?

I think it's used in some Armory decks

Plated demolisher was my first leg. Didn't do too badly at the time when I crammed it into rakano.

There are way worse legs, how about the red one that puts 5 damage mines into your opponent's deck?

In other news I feel dirty. Crafted a playset of dudududu just to win a gold chest quest

I have one Siraf and one Statuary Maiden so far for the top tier legendaries. I have a few other, but nothing to write home about. Also I haven't opened a legendary for like 20 packs o so, feels bad. I opened and crafted a whole bunch of good rares, so at least there's that.

at least the mines legendary can generate pretty lulzy scenarios

Damn this game is good. Started 2 weeks ago cause someone mentioned it in all the shitstorm the hearthstone price increase created. And gotta say its the best thing hearthstone did for me in years.

Bought 4k gems which i invested in drafts and already have 4-5 more or less complete top tier decks. Drafting is huge fun and super rewarding.
If they somehow fix the manaflood/screw which sadly decides 20%+ of the matches and maybe make lategame topdeck wars more exciting it would be almost perfect.

Also is there any eta on the next set? And how reckless are you with disenchanting crappy legendaries?

Manascrew/flood is probably not gonna change much, the best thing they can do about it is add more cards that help mitigate flood via Ultimates. I would say 10% of the matches being decided on it is more accurate at higher level of play, but I've never done the math ofc. If you draft 3 colors and no fixing you are just asking for trouble

No ETA on set 2 being released yet. Devs said they are working on set 5 atm because they want to be that ahead. My speculation is that once they release set two they are going to keep releasing sets at some steady rate, like every 3 months or so.

Disenchanting is always personal preference but I don't love being reckless about it. IIRC I only disenchanted Light the Fuse because I'm quite positive I'm never using it. If you want to ask about certain cards feel free to ask

There's also at least one "legendary disenchant tier list" around but I think there's only a few 100% crap legends.

Ok just had a very bad draft. Decent deck but only 1 win cause the others had amazing curves/draws. Next draft i get this :
+ Show Spoiler +

How fucking awesome is that? And what are the odds.. also the quality of the cards. Best draft !

Really they go over a year in advance? Hope the sets arent set in stone before so they can adjust to the meta.also will orher sets will be the same size as the basic one we have now?

Im mostly keeping evrythig right now. Ill dust my premium rares one i have full playsets of normal ones but thats it i think. Not in a hurry to get that big combrei deck and i already have almost all rare full sets.

Year in advance is because design and development is a continuous pipeline so you have to have multiple sets at different stages of of design/development. Set 5 being in design doesn't mean that Sets 2-4 are done. Set 2 is probably toward the end of development, set 3 in early development, and set 4 in late design.

Yay just managed to squeak into masters before the rollover playing budget rakano (plate-less) and shimmerwump.

I'm fairly convinced all it takes to hit masters is enough time. Deck choice seems wide open though I imagine some are easier than others.

I've been playing all kinds of decks, some more janky and some less. I don't think I ever managed to go over Gold tho, mainly because I don't have that much time to play. I usually get gold/gold for constructed and draft. Off the top of my head these are some of my decks:

Xenan Killers, Elysian Midrange, Stonescar Midrange/BigBurn, Armory, Funstable Feln Control, Haunting Dreams, Rakano Aggro, Stonescar Kalis, Aggro Combrei, 5 Color Nicto, Big Combrei (still missing a few legendaries but it works), Stonescar Jitto (didn't touch it after the nerf).

Now I want to try some new brew with either Kalis + Scouting Party or the Feln Infiltrate gang + Spymaster + Wump + Party. In general, you can throw 4 Xenan Obelisk and/or 4 Scouting Party into any pile and it becomes somewhat viable heh

edit: Nvm I'm diamond in ranked.
