God you're fucking dumb. No it's not possible for that to occur, because under the new regime all of the 365 rolls you're contemplating winning would at worst give 50 gold now since the probability of getting a 40 gold quest actually decreases. This would lead to a maximum possible "loss" of about 10 gold per day or 36 packs. Of course looking at the maximum possible loss/gain is about as smart as contemplating the value of stock based on the fact that the invest can decrease to zero or have infinite gains.

This fucking board has gone to shit.

In neu-SJWland the law of averages feels wrong.

Assuming I'm not retarded, and counting the 'spectate for a pack' as 100g, the old average gold per quest (not counting the ability to store up to 3 quests and reroll) was 51.5 gold. The new average, adding in the 9 new 50g quests and the win 5 brawls for 60g, is 51.4 gold.

That one tenth of a gold lost per day is crippling. thats 36.5% of a pack per year!

Uninstalling immediately.

I think if you factor in the ability to reroll quests and store up to three, the average actually goes up with the addition of the 10 new quests but god help me the actual math is beyond me. Navigating on feels.

Did they remove the 3 wins for 10 gold thing? I just won twice and got nothing.

King's Elekk is good.

Visual bug, doesn't show up at the end of game, does add to your gold. Unless you aren't getting gold, in which case that is a bug that isn't known.

Skeleton Knight: Total crap. Against an aggro deck it's basically worthless because they'll either ignore it or easily trade favorably into it. Against another control deck it's not terrible but you'll be less likely to win the joust. Also it's in the hotly contested 6 drop slot.

Which isexactlywhat I said about The Skeleton Knight the moment it was revealed and you said it was the only card worthy of testing out of a batch of like 10 cards. You could give people credit once in a while, you know, it's not like it would kill you. And yeah I can't wait to see what is done with Living Roots. But again, I'm still most excited about Bolster.

I'm really enjoying Polymorph: Boar as well. It's saved me and it's also allowed me to push for lethal. I just attacked with Frost Giant for 8, transformed it into a Boar and attacked for 4, and then re transformed it into a boar and attacked for another 4.

Tip for winning as Hunter on the TB: Remember, they don't have any heals whatsoever and there are only 2 taunts in the entire deck. They built the Hunter deck to be control-ish, but you have to play it like agro as best you can. Toss everything for Animal Companions and such and hit your hero ability every single turn. With a little luck on Armored Warhorse rolls, you can kill them before they get crazy. Use your Armored Warhorses to attack the face. I usually just insta concede if I don't have a good opening hand. Don't rely on/overestimate Lock and Load and don't overuse it, like if you Lock and Load and do Unleash + Hunter's Mark and you have 2 more mana and can also cast Snipe, don't, use your hero power instead.

Lock and Load is a troll card and should never be played in this Hunter deck. You aren't lacking for draw enough.

So now the question is, are 50 gold quests insta-reroll or no? I'm thinking I'll still reroll them since chances of getting a 40 are lessened and you always want to go for that 100 or spectate pack.

Yes, if you don't have any 40s to reroll, I think you reroll a 50. There are 15 40g quests and 21 quests worth 50g or more.

If it's below the average you want to reroll it. If it's above the average you want to keep it. So if the average is accurate at 51.whatever gold then yes, you want to reroll all 40s and 50s and keep anything 60+. The 50 gold quests are pretty close though so maybe if you have favored classes keep those and reroll the classes you don't like.

I want to believe. I am just thinking in a more aggressively costed hunter deck (ie competitive) your average critter is less likely to win joust vs the brawl. It's also a card that when it works is probably drawing beefy threats not just 'a card'. Maybe midrange? I just think in a hyper aggressive curve it will fail you enough to make its stats differential feel a burden. I guess the question is what two drop would it replace?

Poly boar is a beast though, it's absurdly versatile. The quad poly threat is real. The blue player deck archetype is getting stronger.

Maybe, except you can't poly-ping a boar. You're also generally safe leaving a sheep up, a 4/2 not so much.

Poly Boar is so much better than Sheep.
