I still autoconcede to priests, its just not worth playing against aholes that run that in unranked.

Priests are mid tier right now, people overreacted to the class.

I just dislike the long games, where i have to wait to play anything good because of mind control.

Priests in constructed, np. Priests in arena can be a bitch though since their heal can allow them to get so much value out of minions.

Am I wasting my money buy doing arena's now while its in beta or do I get to keep all of the cards from here on out? Basically, any word on a wipe before retail?

How often do you know what class you are going against and get to create a deck just for that?

It isnt a deck just for that... And a 1/2 for 1 isn't horrible...and I personally only run 1 for that rare game I run into aggro lock or aggro druid.

How reliable is this link for what legendary cards you should craft?

What Legendary Should I Craft? | BlizzPro's Hearthstone

its still accurate as far as the neutral legendaries go, Leeroy Jenkins has risen up quite a bit due to his charge capabilities especially if you can buff his attack
as far as class legendaries go, you will want to craft King Krush (Hunter), Antonidas (Mage), Tirion (Paladin), Velen (Priest), VanCleef (Rogue), Jaraxxus (Warlock) and Grom (Warrior) if you play any of those classes

Cenarius isn't bad per se but the druid class got too many lategame cards already, Al'akir for the Shaman is a terrible 3/5 drop for 8 mana that got all card texts slapped on him

It kind of depends. If you run Mage/Shaman/Rogue/Warlock a lot, Thalnos will probably end up in all of your decks. I got it in a pack but I use it in a lot of decks. Rag and Ysera are the two most powerful legendaries by a decent margin, they are "finishers" once you've baited out all their removal. The list puts those as top 3 and I'd certainly agree with that. Sylvanas, at 5/5/5, is actually a decent card. The deathrattle rarely goes off but making your opponent play around it for a few turns can hinder them. Giving her taunt gives them a bad catch-22 to deal with. I've been using it in a warrior deck and when she has charge via Warsong Commander I can just outright trade with something they have on the board and then snag their other dude. Strong card.

Black Knight gets a notable mention if you find you run into taunters a lot (I don't atm, that isn't the meta in masters). Tyrion, Grommash, Jaraxsus, and Velen are all very good cards imo if you play those classes. Van Cleef is good, but probably not worth crafting. I don't like King Krush, Cenarius, or Al'Akir. They are worth playing if you get them, but not worth crafting. Antonidas needs to be built around and I find in practice he ends up being very marginal.

A lot of the other legendaries have niche uses (Malygos in a Druid spell deck can be silly, Alexstraza in a control/burn Mage deck to get your opponent to 15 and then nuke), but aren't really worth crafting imo.

Rag/ysera/thalnos/sylvanas are basically the best legendaries there are, so yea I'd start with them. I personally like Hogger a lot too.

The class legendaries vary a lot by class. Rogue is pretty gimmicky but can be amazing in the right deck. Shaman is mostly awful. Druid/priest/warrior/paladin are all decent, but are generally just worse than using rag or ysera. Mage can be very good in the right kind of deck and is basically and instant win if it stays alive until your next turn.

Shadow Madness + Young Brewmaster = yum. I was a little afraid it would return the creature I stole to his hand, because some crazy shit works that way, but nope. I took control of his Stampeding Kodo, used it to attack one of his own creatures and kill it, dropped a Brewmaster to return his damaged kodo to my hand, and then summoned it next turn to kill another one of his creatures instantly haha. 2 cards killed 3 of his creatures and left me with 2 fresh creatures on the board. 4 card advantage ftw, not to mention 2 decent creatures on the board.

Sylvanas isn't as good as she looks though. She's not that difficult to work around with only 5/5. You can easily set it up so she only gets a small shit creature. Ragnoros is amazing because the 8 damage is going to go off no matter what, and Ysera you get the dream card no matter what which is amazing and she's super hard to kill. I think Baron Geddon might be underrated, been playing him a lot in various decks since I got him, and with a little strategy and proper timing he can work in a lot of decks. Even if he dies quickly, you can still wipe a board.

What Pyros said, she's a guaranteed 2for1 (unless they have no minions, in which case why the fuck did you play her) with decent combat stats for 5 mana. Pretty top tier imo.

yeah. 2for1 like others said. some of the best legendaries are just super efficient like that, not situational GG's like rag, etc.

When does this thing hit open beta or are there keys to be had somewhere ?

December-January was the range given at BlizzCon.

They also announced all closed beta keys have been given out.

Edit: For people that participated in the desktop app - sorry.

Should be december, he snickered when he said or january as if it was a joke.

Could be Dec 31st though.

Just checked to make sure I didn't get a second key, sorry, nope.
