Patron warrior is okay but not reliable. So much shit can go wrong very fast. I think people just grew accustomed to expecting it and dealing with it now.

  • Any minion over 2 attack basically stops the combo unless the warrior has a really good (lucky) hand.
  • Very reliant on drawing warsong commander.
  • The combo only fills the board with 3/1 - 3/3s and only does 3-5 damage to the face typically on the 1st play.
  • AoE removal isn't even necessary, just kill the warsong commander then pick off the higher health patrons to extinguish the combo.
  • Only really works if warrior is able to warsong+frothing after doing warsong+patron. That's a lot of stuff that needs to happen to be able to succeed.

I've lost to patron warrior for sure but usually only when they have a very lucky hand where they can buff up a frothing berseker to be able to OTK me. Relying on a single card (warsong commander) will always make it a very unreliable strategy for ranking up.

Having watched a few different streamers play Patron warrior, it's a much better deck than you're giving it credit for. You seem to have just played a lot of people who lacked skill/had bad lists.

I like patron warrior when its rolling well, had a string of games last night that frustrated the crap out of me. Bunch of shaman decks just destroying me. Didn't help I'd been drinking either

I said it's an okay deck, just needs a little more luck imo.

Just cleared the newest wing. The General Drak fight is fun. You can make some crazy decks with that passive skill.

Did the class challenge in 3 turns, got alex in opening hand, went alex, core hound, holy fire;face w/ alex, flamestrike, lethal. I don't know why they thought flamestrike would be a good removal tool when you can play anything for 1 mana, should have given him a bunch of naturalizes since you can only play 1 card a turn. I did get to play et against him in the wing challenge and he does not reduce the cost of cards to 0.

General is really fun on normal and easily the most RNG stupid fight they have yet created on Heroic. They do seem to be doing a great job with the class challenges, all of them have been fun imo.

Yeah if I could ever get a taunt to stay on the board for a turn and KT in my hand I'd totally do that.

Oh, does Drak ignore KT if you put him on the board solo?

The heroics were a little more challenging for me this time around. Probably wasn't thinking about them right but eventually I got lucky enough on each. Heroic Drakk came down to getting Kel Thuzad out and him not playing Twisting Nether. I saw a reddit post where someone loaded 29 spells + Majordormo so that he fucks himself with mind games.

He only ignores if your taunt is up first. So use something like Sludge Belcher etc. Once KT comes into play it bugs out the AI, and it doesn't attack with its minions or
anything.

My start was to use priest and mulligan for mind control. Use minions that will go 2 for 1 and he will eventually run out of steam.

Yeah, I finally got him because he bugged out and used his kill ability on his kidnapper instead of my taunter.

AFAIK the kill ability is random, it just fucks you at the start if he has it as only you have a minion out (it also hit my Boom, Onyxia, etc every time instead of a 1/1 fwiw but there where times it killed one of his minions instead of mine if he had some down).

RE the Priest deck with spells, you still need to mulligan for basically double mind blast and light bomb and he has to mind games within like the first 2 turns or he will turn into rag and kill you with his hero power, good idea but even more draw dependent feels like. I ended up just out valuing him with some Sylvanas/KT luck but I thought the fight was total shit, which is dumb because it was really fun on normal.

It certainly doesn't say random, I think it's targeted he just bugs and uses it on kidnapper.

It's still a dumb fight. Felt more like Naxx where you could build a good deck and then just had to keep praying for RNG.

Midrange Pally dragon deck feels pretty solid. Dragon Consort, Azure Drake, Twilight Drake, Hammer, Cons, a few classic legendary dragons and some early game like Minibot. Dragon Technician helps curve out the early game too as a 3 mana 3/5. Only rank 15, but had a nice 5 win streak for my daily
