I have a golden force of nature too and 4x regular. Not sure how i feel about dusting my golden since i'm a hoarder but 1600 dust is a legendary!

Me too, I horde and only DE a card if I get it's equivilent golden.

I really like the golden knife throwers, and I feel that now FoN is 5 mana cost, it will have more synergy with the KT's.

But yah, we are talking x2 free Ledgendaries after replacing the goldens with normals.

Just cant decide! Puting x2 golden KT's down, followed by golden FoN would feel pretty good, but it's not a lot really for such a late game move.

Hoping for some good luck with my packs later. Always good fun flipping those cards though

Not spending a penny on this expansion as there aren't that many good cards and I have enough gold to cover the basics.

I'll be Shaman SMOrcing straight out of the gate while people scramble for their 50% Turn 10 semi-win conditions.

I read 287 packs will grant you a full collection, you'll probably have enough gold/dust to craft all anyways.

Does anyone know if the card pack reward from arena is changing? Had quick google but couldn't find anything.

I assume Whispers pack will be added to the random pool but wondered if they would be removing the GVG pack

What you running instead of Crackle, or are you planning on staying in Wild?

The guaranteed pack is from the most recent set so they will always be WotOG until the next set. The second pack will be from a different standard set.

Played Arena last night and got 2 packs and some gold for 4 wins so the 2nd pack chance % has improved drastically.

The chance for 2 packs is really high now. Even if you can't manage 7 wins reliably (the 150 gold prize cutoff), arena is now extremely profitable for card collecting.

Eternal Sentinels. I've already changed Lepers to Argent Squires but may up the curve with 2x Flamewreathed Faceless for the Trogg synergy. Master of Evolution looks good but that would make it more Tempo (which could be a thing).

or are you planning on staying in Wild?

No.

not for me

i am consistent though. 2 wins.

i seem to get 2 wins and then lose 3. :mad:

Forgot about that card. Looks pretty good. Coupled with Lava Shock, Shaman is going to be able to pump out those high value overload cards nicely.

Maybe your drafting is letting you down. It's fairly easy to get 3 wins in arena if I'm blunt.

SO what do people recommend to dust?

Literally everything you're not using in a deck this instant. Even if you need to re-craft them later you're still not losing anything, and there's a chance you may open one in a pack before then.

Maintenance is @ 27 Apr 2016, 00:30 - 27 Apr 2016, 01:30 CEST.

So should be able to open packs at 00:30 uk time?

If you look at the maths then 3-3 is actually an above average run. Check this -

I wouldn't count on it. Every other expac has seen server troubles for hours after release.

Theyre late damnit!

MooMoo444 · 27 Apr 2016 at 08:11

Didn't stay up to open the packs, expected there to be server issues. Hopefully working normally later. Got the 50 pack preorder, 11500 gold and the quest packs, so 178 packs after it's all done. See how it goes from those, might buy another 60.

Was watching the streamers open some, Kripp opened around 800 packs. That's some serious money, but when you're getting subscribers and donations every few seconds, I guess you have a lot of money to burn.

I had a real roller coaster of a pack opening. Bought 168 packs with gold and only got 4 legs in the first 140. It was brutal. Luckily I ended up with about 8 by 168 inc Rag Lightlord, Yogg, the Shaman one and a Golden Hogger. Dupes yielded ~10k dust.

The extra 3 gift packs and the 10 from quests made 181 packs in all.

Glad I didn't pre-order or buy more packs. I have most of the epics and with the dust can craft anything that's needed.

joelk2 · 27 Apr 2016 at 08:47

35 packs 2 legends.

only used gold for this.

not gunna craft any legends until i know where the meta is going
