I know that the Asian Server is pushing Confessor but the thing I like about Dragon Priest is that there is minimal RNG in it. Confessor can be great or she can whiff hard. Still debating on whether or not I want to craft her. I do agree with Kibler though in that I'd look for a way to include Paletress without cutting Ysera. I get Reynad's point of giving up the opportunity cost of a Hero Power to play Ysera but there are control matchups where Ysera flat out wins games.

Eh, the main argument for Ysera is the much harder to deal with bodies. Dream cards are no less random than random legendaries.

Although TGT created more cheap Legendaries, the avg Legendary cost is still ~6 so Paletress is often more value than Ysera even if she dies next turn. I did craft Paletress and have her in my Dragon deck, I like her, but I have found that I have Paletress in my hand and 0 dragons more frequently then I care for. Not drawing a dragon when you have Wyrmwrest/Corrupters/Twilights is annoying as fuck.

I had been saving 4000 dust to see how the TGT legendary's played out. I finally crafted one this weekend, Justicar Trueheart. I then caved and crafted a Grommash to complete my control Warrior deck. Funnest deck I have played in a year and a half of Hearthstone, no regrets.

I really need to stop playing arena. Once again today made it to 5-0 on a pretty aggressive shaman draft with zapomatics, couple totem golems, and two stormwind champions, to run right in to the brick wall of 5+ wins paladin decks. Wound up 7-3 cause one of them conceded to coin zapomatic for some reason, but the other 3 were just impossible to deal with.

Still very new, i've been buying TGT packs. Given some of what folk say (Semi blah legends), should I be instead stacking up on glassic or GVG first? Going to buy Naxx after I get back from my wedding next week and have more time to grind through all that.

Really like idea of Arena, but not sure if it's wise. At least my first time entry free of course, but say you win only 3-5 games, does that break even with just buying 100g packs? Are the rewards pretty random? (I got a pack + something else I forget and that was with 2 or 3 wins, had like Druid/Priest as choice and what seemed like abysmal draws.)

Ysera also provides another Dragon for synergy and that can be huge. There are a lot of matches where I'm not sorry to pull Ysera on turn 2 or turn 3 because I know I have a dragon in hand to activate the rest of my deck. Losing even one Dragon can affect the consistency of the deck. And I already cut Dragonkin Sorcerer. I get why he's there but there are only 4 buffs in the deck. Here's my version right now:

I took Kolento's and modified it a bit after some testing. First I dropped the Dragonkin Sorcerer and put in Chillmaw. Second I dropped Vol'Jin for Rend. I found that I get a lot more value from Rend than I was with Vol'Jin. When played against an opposing Ysera it can break your opponent's back.

3 wins is considered the break even and 4 is slightly in your advantage. But even then, the rewards are random and can feel like you got ripped off if they give you some shitty common cards or 15 dust.

So a Ram Wrangler is a 13/12 for 5 mana when it summons a Savannah Highmane. Is there any other single card in the game with such stats value? Even if a Sneed's summons Deathwing, that's 17/20 for 8 mana, which I guess is better, but that's far more easily silenced, so hot damn. Ram Wrangler RNG is crazy.

Wrynn can summon 3x 10mana legendaries when you play it. Can pull say Ysera and Gromm and something else. That one priest legendary that summons another legendary on inspire can do pretty big stuff too on the turn it's played, and even crazier if it's not removed right away.

RNG in this game is so absolutely fucked - 4 MC Techs played between me and my opponent over successive turns - with 4-5 critters out depending on which MCT - every single time the MCTs stole the same critter back and forth - 1 in 4, 1 in 4, 1 in 5, 1 in 5 - 1 in 400 circumstance (not even counting the odds of two people having double MCT in Arena and both having them in hand so early).

And it doesn't even feel that weird with the RNG in this shitty game, sadly.

I love how rend is seeing play now. This goes to show that tribal mechanics just need time to develop into effective strategy's.

This time next year I'm sure people will be complaining about pirate rogue or beast druid

I might be in the minority, but I'm enjoying the changes TGT has brought, in my 15-10 Rank I see so many different things these days it's fun.

I've been trying an Inspire Priest...it's kinda fun, and not too bad for my rank. It takes a lot of people by surprise.

I keep trying to make a deck with a priest and Eydis Darkbane with mech for spare parts and priest buffs. It has been inconsistent so far, either spectacular wins or spectacular losses. I put Gazlowe in it too...so sometimes I just recycle parts into more mechs and since the deck is a mech deck at the core it proves fun also. It's way too inconsistent though, but a lot of fun.

Inspire priest is working out better for now.

That's hardly the case any more when you don't get to pick which pack you get. Arena is just dogshit now, they have absolutely demolished an entire aspect of their game.

I have like 4 "free" entries left from the amazon coin reward thing from buying my 40 tgt packs, and I don't think I can even be arsed to use them. Arena is just such ass now.

Have any of the rest of you noticed a problem friending folks lately? About 3/4 of the time seemingly since the last patch when I go to friend someone after a match their name does not show up in the You last played so and so spot so I can't friend them. Just me? Is it because I have 56 people on my list and Blizz can't imagine someone actually being that friendly?
