Time to start hoarding gold?

 

I think it would better to wait for Blizzard to officially announce it, which could be soon if the adventure actually comes out in April.

 

>That feeling when you draft 4 consecrates and 2 Truesilver


>Also that feeling when you lose 3 games in a row when you don't draw any of them. Even when Cult Master gets 4+ cards in each game.

 

I decided to be try-hard this season and reach Legend for the first time.

#Scumbag mode activate with Face Hunter!!!

 

I'm torn.
I hit 1.6k dust again. My choices are as follows:

1) Make an Alex. Could go into my ctr Warrior deck, or a Freeze Mage deck (which I'll make as soon as I find/craft my Doomsayers again) and an Alex is generally good to have around.

2) Make a Sneed's. This is a more of a fun pick for me, and could go in any deck if only for the lulz of the Sneed's/KT shenanigans.

3) Make a Black Knight. A generally good card to have, could fit into my Druid, Warrior or any deck really.

4) Make 2 Mountain Giants and 1 Molten Giant to complete the Handlock deck that I've been saying I'll make. Pros: Handlock wrecks faces. Cons: There is something that seems inherently wrong about having 1.6k dust and not crafting a legendary.

Help?

 

I guess it depends on what you want to play. I get bored with decks pretty quickly so I use black knight pretty frequently since it's the most versatile. If you're facing a lot of aggro though then handlock and sneed's are probably not the best.

 

Giants. No regrets.

 

Whelp, the Hearthstone gods have noticed my scumbag way of life and for that I have paid for my sins.

Lol you think an epic and a legendary pack is bad. You really are a scumbag, but you're not being punished :/ You have not seen my packs.

 

That pack is telling you to play shadowform aggro priest obviously.

 

Alex, Sneeds and Black Knight are all good. I probably wouldn't go the Handlock route right now - Handlock is still all right but it definitely has fallen from being one of the top tier decks. Too much face hunter and various aggro decks that handlock struggles with on the ladder at the moment. Also all the BGH's people are running because of Dr. Boom is terrible for handlocks. I win almost all of my matches against Handlocks lately.

Sneeds is a lot of fun, if a little slow. 8 mana for a 5/7 is pretty terrible if it gets silenced or even worse, Hexed/Polymorphed (which seems to happen a lot). Pretty solid, sticky minion if you can bait out their silences first though. I struggle to justify including him in my decks when the meta is so aggressive though.

Alex and BK? There's not much to say. Both are really solid cards that will see a lot of use. BK revolves in and out of your decks depending on the meta (I didn't really use it much for months when Naxx came out because of sludge belchers), and I'm getting a fair bit of use out of it at the moment with all the druids on ladder. BK onto an Ancient of War is devastating. Alex is pretty core to some decks, and it's generally very versatile. Probably won't run it too much outside of control warrior or freeze mage though, and neither are those are absolute top tier at the moment.

So yeah, I'd say Sneeds if you're interested in a decent, very fun card, BK for all around versatility and Alex if you have a strong desire to play CW or freeze mage.

 

You're not helping me decide T_T I knew all that already.

 

Giants I'm telling you. Handlock is great. And giants mage is even more fun to play imo.

 

Normally I just wait till I see a deck I really really want to play and then make what Legendaries I miss, not 1 particular that I think will be useful even if I have the dust to make it. Though I do stick to 1 deck for a long time, so if you like to hop around a lot this method might not be so good for you.

I still remember when I went on a crafting spree for my Control Warrior, 8000 dust out of the window in a few seconds, but I played the deck for months, still do and it got me 250 ranked wins.

 

Prepare to use the mighty Millhouse Manastorm!

And die horribly to Antonidas.

Re: dust - I like Black Knight over Alex because it fits in more deck archetypes. Sneed's is lots of fun - you could also pull together a Deathrattle Hunter deck with it with Feign Death and Rivendare. Giants are somewhat limited to Handlock and certain mage varieties.

 

I'd go for the Black Knight. It wrecks Druid, and since a large portion of top decks play sludge belcher (Excluding Rogue) It can always find a target to remove. Only problem is that if you play Rogue or Face Hunter (Midrange hunter runs Belcher) It's just an overpriced yeti. Sneeds is a fun card, and is an insta win if you draw KT from it, but it's a little slow. I'd probably put it second. I haven't seen a control warrior in ladder for a while, and though freeze mage is still a good deck, it's a little vulnerable to the current meta, so I wouldn't choose that. Handlock has been bent over a barrel and fucked by a mech mage/midrange hunter meta. Don't go for it.

 

Blackrock Mountain: A Hearthstone Adventure Announced at PAX East!

Trailer is here!

5 Wings + 17 Bosses & 31 new cards. *EDIT: No free wing*

We can pre-order starting March 19 and by doing that we get a unique cardback.

Here are the 3 cardbacks [IMGUR]ptHOr6Z[/IMGUR]

 

For a F2P player these expansions are coming way to fast. You can get the essentials from each expansion like GvG wih Arena bit by bit, but these adventures are quite a steep step if you have to spend 3500 gold for the whole thing.

 

Looks like I'll be hitting the ladder this month for money. Time to get my metagame on.

And no, I'm not doing hunter again.

 

So, stewiethegangster, how fares the hunt (har har) for legend? Drove many mechmages before you and heard the lamentation of their... Gnomes, I suppose?
