I played more Hearthstone in the last two days than I have the two weeks before. Gone through pirate warrior, Dragon Priest, C'Thun Druid (so dull to play, druid is just a lame class), a couple of Midrange Hunter attempts and several iterations of C'Thun mage.
Today I got Edwin in my brawl pack, and unpacked Deathwing the Dragonlord (meh) and Yogg Soggoth (perfect. I wanted to play this card but it's awful so not worth crafting). So, I think I'll craft the new Rogue legendary and try a bit of miracle Soggoth. Maybe some C'Thun warrior too.

Before the Old Gods hit I was actually having some fun with Beast Druid. Beast Druid gains one great card (Mark of Y'Shaarj), but unfortunately it also loses an incredible card (Druid of the Fang), so once again it's just on the verge of competitiveness. Still, probably more fun than standard ramp druid.

My first impressions regarding WOTOG standard (about 30 games in) is that they've made a mistake with the balancing for C'Thun druid.

Twin Emperor is almost always two 4/6 Taunts for 7 and the Klaxxi Amber-Weaver comes out as 4/10 consistently.

It seems really strong against everything.


Brann, twin emperor for 3 of them, 18/18 C'thun the following turn had to hurt. This was C'thun rogue, things like preparation, brann, thaurissian and shadowstep work really well with it, being able to conceal Brann is great. Being able to gang up Brann is even better..

Don't forget to Shadowcaster yourself two mini-Branns while you're at it.

Only time I had shadowcaster (I only have one) I had 4 twins and 3 more in my deck due to gang up instead as hadn't drawn brann

Don't shadowcast Brann, the effect doesn't stack up.

Arena rewards have really improved. You can now get two packs for as few as four wins, and a 9-3 run last night netted me 265 gold (which used to be 12-win tier).

Hm, 265 gold for 9 wins, while above average, was already possible previously according to this wiki page:
http://hearthstone.g...na&oldid=223860

So now I wonder whether they actually did change anything other than the chance of getting a second pack.

(As for shadowcasting Brann, I know the effect doesn't stack but the problem is Brann has a tendency to die so having a spare Brann on hand helps later.)

This and also the 1 mana Brann together with a Thaurissian'd 9 mana C'Thun is evil

I am getting more success than I deserve with a simple warrior deck based on taunt. My best guess is people are still playing around, trying silly things.

That's what makes it so much fun. That being said, my attempts to create a Handlock are failing pathetically.

I am toying with evolve and a deck that spawns loads of totems, it is quite fun, although a lot of RNG, and it is sad to use your hero power just to evolve your minions into some Inspire card, specially when it is Confessor Paletress.

Onbiously you don't normally evolve when you have overload minions, but the thing from below... it usually evolves before staying a single turn :)

I think the 1-mana Evolve spell doesn't fit a normal midrange Shaman deck very well. I was toying with the idea of a battlecry evolve Shaman deck with Rumbling Elemental, Brann Bronzebeard etc. but I couldn't make it quite strong enough. Master of Evolution is a fine addition though, you want to hit specifically stuff like your Tuskarr Totemic, Azure Drake etc. with strong battlecries.

Evolve is looking like a win more card, with master of evolution being the good one. That being said, at some point I'm totally playing Onyxia-evolve.

The deck I Was testing had 2 argent squires and I changed them for totemic fusion and evolve, both are probing useful, but when the fusion is, it is normally not needed to win.

The 5-5 taunt thing is a solid card to evolve, it normally costs 1 or 2 mana to put on the field and you get a 7 mana minion.

Another funny Brann combo, turn 7, playing a variant of the premade warlock deck, one critter on the board, Brann, forbidden ritual, coin, reliquary seeker (one mana 9/9 can't be bad).

He plays twin emperor, trades some critters with my taunt and kills some tentacles.

Next turn I played some 1 mana critters to get the count back to 6, the other reliquary seeker and he gave up.

In general 4 and 8 mana are the values you're aiming for so always go for the Tuskarr when you have the chance I guess.

I quite like using it on a card I've played much cheaper than its true cost like nerubian prophet or volcanic drake.
