I made a screwy beast deck to do a druid quest and this happened first game.

Gazlowe is crap for constructed but pretty amazing in arena. Troggzor is subpar because he's only good when you're ahead. When you're behind on board he's just worse than a Boulderfist Ogre. Toshley is an excellent body for a 6 cc legendary, but the spare parts aren't very useful unless you can do something big with them, and the only good use of spare parts I've seen aside from unreliable combat tricks is fireball fodder for Antonidas.

Troggzor is fine when you're even, too. Don't need to be ahead at all. And if you can get him behind a taunter then he works just fine when behind. And if you're behind and the enemy's minions do less than 6 damage he works very good too, since you still force something from hand, in most cases a spell but he would need a weapon or charge or battlecry instead.

Bought a 15 pack of classic cards and opened 2 class legendaries - Velen and Grommash, as well as 6 epics, two of which were Ancients, both of which I needed to finish filling out all my Druid cards with everything except Cenarius. I know Grommash is auto include in Warrior decks but why do I not very often see Velen in Priest matches?

Velen is win more for priests. If you have board control by turn 7 you are probably going to win anyway. If you don't he isn't much help. I did manage a 40 damage mind blast once though, that was fun.

Vulnerable to BGH, doesn't synergize with the way most Priests are actually built, no immediate effect on the board.

@Slippery: Really? Whenever I have a Zoo/Hunter day it happens all the time.

I dunno, I guess I don't usually play faster decks so 30 wins takes forever. I think I have something like 50 wins today though. Like 40 with Hunter then another 10 with Shaman/Warrior. That's still like 6 hours worth

Edit: Also ripperino streamarino. Net went down like 1.5 hours ago and just came back up but is still unstable as hell. I may try to stream some more later if it smoothes out. Shame it went out when it did, I was kind of on a roll.

A lot of people don't realize it but you can use the rusty horn to get around a taunt minion.
Haha that's a pretty obvious play that must slip a lot of people's minds. I didn't even understand what you meant at first lol.

That's all stuff I already pretty much know. I want to know where the meta is at with these legendaries and other neutral legends of GvG, outside of the obvious Dr. Boom.

What he means is you can give an enemy minion taunt to kill it if it's protected by another taunt. It's something anyone who ever experimented with ancestral healing combos already knew.

Ahhhhhh. That makes sense.

The other obvious play is rusty horn + black knight. Druids would do the same with mark of the wild.

I just pulled a Dr Boom from my arena pack. Score. Basically the only other card I needed from GvG.
