Finally got Frostmorne from LK. Only took 14 games with Eternal Servitude Priest. The opponent conceded before I could actually play it >.<

 

Illidan in my stored Classic packs, Last Kaleidosaur in stored Un'goro packs, Uther in my first Frozen Throne pack. Prince Valanar as well. Anduin from the Prologue.

A meh haul, but the ones I wanted, so... I crafted Lich King, will decide later on rest.

Golden Snowflipper Penguin, tho.

And I just killed Lord Marrowgar with Exodia.

Weren't you supposed to get packs for logging in by the way? Coz I did not get them... -edit- Got them after relogging, got Arfus.

 

So I just completed the prologue. The death knights I wanted were either Jaina, Uther or Valeera. The one I really didn't want was Anduin. I got Anduin.

 

Machinegun Anduin is legit as fuck.


Druid is strong. Paladin weaker than I thought.

The Ultimate Card really is Ultimate.

 

Speaking of the Ultimate card... I drafted a Druid with 2 Ultimates and I just played a priest that drafted the Demon Prince legendary, the poor soul got Millhouse from him and played it. I pulled off the 0 mana Ultimate play and won the game!!!!

 

Paladin's pretty good actually. Just needs a slightly more midrange variation.

Tainted Zealot + Defile has potential in a control type Warlock.

I tried the Hunter Deathtrap recipe but it wasn't working out.

I think I'm going to stick with arena for now and wait and see if a Hunter/ Demonlock deck comes around that I can play.

So it seems like Prince 2 Zoo is doing good on ladder. I'm going to try a variant of it subbing 1 dire wolf for Prince 2. I put in the Tainted Zealot + Defile combo( 1 copy) as a board clear.

I'm approaching the legendary pity timer and hoping I open Uther for my next legendary.

 

I'm really enjoying this Warlock control deck I've put together. Not sure how close it is to any net decks, but I'm seeing about a 65-70% win rate so far, and I really like the way it plays. Only real issue right now is consistency of the draws, but it's a Krul deck, so that's not much of a surprise.

Here's the full list, one of everything. Edit: Though if anyone has some suggestions, I'm all ears. I've been considering swapping Thalnos and maybe Sense Demons, but haven't come up with any good ideas to replace them with.

Mortal Coil
Soulfire
Voidwalker
Bloodmage Thalnos
Defile
Demonfire
Doomsayer
Drain Soul
Gnomeferatu
Loot Hoarder
Bloodfury Potion
Kabal Courier
Sense Demons
Shadow Bolt
Tar Creeper
Blastcrystal Potion
Hellfire
Lakkari Felhound
Cult Apothecary
Despicable Dreadlord
Doomguard
Dread Infernal
Felfire Potion
Kabal Trafficker
Siphon Soul
Abyssal Enforcer
The Lich King
Twisting Nether
Krul the Unshackled
Bloodreaver Gul'dan

 

I've been really enjoying a Dragon Priest deck I've put together. I'm at work so I don't have the exact deck list but it's generally what you'd expect with cards like Lich King and Bone Mare worked in there. I've been climbing the ranked ladder pretty fast with this deck and I haven't encountered many other decks that can challenge it besides a Warlock Control Deck that has Bloodreaver Gul'Dan in it for lifesteal.

 

omg I just discarded opponent's Jaina on turn 2!!!!

Edit-

And karma got me with Doomguard discarding Gul'dan but I pulled off the win!!!!

2nd Edit-

I Gnomeferatu'd a Grommash. Opponent was playing enrage warrior.

 

To start with, Gnomeferatu I feel was severely underrated by people (I'm biased).

After 8 games between yesterday and today I'm at 75% win rate with the deck. The only losses come from the new Zoolock and the non-Krul demonlock variant.

As for the deck, I took out Soulfire because I hesitate to play it (as mentioned in my last post where I discarded Gul'dan when I played Doomguard). Drain Life, Feeding Time or Bane of Doom might be better for the deck, I will have to test each out.

I feel that Tainted Zealot works very good (I don't have Thalnos).

I played Sense Demons in 5 of the games and drew Krul in 3 of them. It has been better in the mid/late game compared to turn 3 play.

I also want to try out Stonehill Defender instead of Tar Creeper. Being able to discover a Felguard or 2nd Felhound to combo with Krul is too tempting. A Primordial Drake or potential 2nd Lich King wouldn't hurt either.

 

I love the interactions between Tainted Zealot/Thalnos and Defile. It's good to run both I think, because each gives different utility. You need thalnos if their lowest health minion is at 3, because Zealot obv doesn't die from first defile.

I'm even toying with running two in Miracle, but it's... not so great right now. I don't play aggro, so I'm not sure, but I don't even know how you can win 50%+ with aggro decks anymore. So many efficient fucking taunts and removals now...

 

I tried out Bane of Doom and the 1st summon demon was frakin Howlfiend. My opponent then proceeds to hit him 3 times and Krul was the 2nd discarded card. I'm going to try out Drain Life and a 2nd Drain Soul instead.

 

This is an article that's got a few good points about discard. Originally it was for Fel Reaver, but it applies just as much for Gnomeferatu, just in reverse.

Stonehill is the slower of the two, but I think it's one of the most influential cards to come out of Un'goro, and it's definitely worth a think of including it. Personally, I would more be looking to replace Demonfire or Bloodfury, but I never was much a fan of those cards anyway.

I mean, it's gotta be Ukraine, right?

 

Sees Kolento on the Ukraine team + wants to win the most packs = You bet I'm choosing Ukraine.

 

Yeah, I picked Ukraine as well.

So, minor annoyance, but didn't you promise actually tricky PvE content this time, Blizzard? I haven't had to change away from my Control Paladin ladder deck once. (Hell, I haven't ever lost, though Blood Queen was pretty nasty. My Acolyte of Pain turning into Vanish was useful.)

 

So quest mage is making a comeback?

Finally my policy to include a secret eater in every deck, in a wider campaign to get freeze mage players to eat a dick, is paying off.

 

Bone Drake gifting Primordial Drake in arena is so good. The Bone Drake saved me against a Paladin @ 2-1.
