Well the new mechanic should be more useful than jousting which was a total flop.

But....not seeing enough there that I actually want to spend money/gold on.

League of Explorers is out.

And for the record, the pros have been looking forward to this adventure. They have some meta-changing plans with this once it's fully released.

I really like how the 3rd/final encounter of the 1st wing is designed. Hope to see more like that.

The Mechazod brawl from last week was also a good idea.

[Last Sinner]

1st wing of League of Explorers is damn fun.

The voice acting is spot on. There's a consistent storyline going on. Continual banter between Reno and Elise. 3rd encounter was a great idea.

Heroic modes were fun to deduce.

And the general response to this adventure has been very positive.

Until week 2 and whatever good times that brings.

Started to get back into HS but not seriously. This weeks brawl was interesting/hard at first, but once you play a Mage deck with 1-2 mana cost minions/deck with Mana Wurm and Flamewaker, it's ridiculously easy and gets boring fast. Gets some of the quests done fast.

Aside from that, the new adventure is interesting. Not sure why week 3 hasn't been unlocked yet.

[Eisdrache]

They skipped a week because of Thanksgiving, the remaining wings will be released normally the weeks after.

[Kreceir]

Ahaha, I disenchanted Malygos to craft Justicar Trueheart.
Just to get Malygos back from the Free pack you get in winning your first tavern brawl

Of the most legendaries, I think I have gotten Malygos atleast 5 times already.

[Jaden]

Brann Bronzebeard + The Mistcaller, now that's the dream. He has good interaction with the rest of the "board flood" type of shaman as well. You should try it.

[Kreceir]

Even though Face hunters and Secret paladins are pretty much Cancer, but I can deal with them.

But did I ever mention that I really hate Mill Rogue's

[barcode120x]

This weeks brawl is meh, but interesting. Fortunately, won my 2nd match with a bunch of Fjola Lightbanes and kept throwing spare parts on them lol

[Last Sinner]

Burst Shaman might be more cancerous than Secret Paladin atm. Sir Finley Mrrgglton gave them hero power options that enable 5 turn zergs with the right draws.

After this final wing, I expect Priest to really pick up. It already has appeared a lot more after Entomb was unlocked in the 3rd wing.

[Last Sinner]

My friend in high legend confirmed what I thought would happen. Burst Shaman, Secret Paladin and the new version of Priest are being spammed. He also said that in tournament play, that Patron Warrior and the new Priest along with the aggros were the common ones. He also said Druid but that Druid had a poor record in recent times.

That Christmas Brawl....what kind of sadistic bastard thought this one up....

League of Explorers was genius. Most cards have a place in Constructed and/or Arena. Discover is a very potent mechanic. Definitely the best set the Hearthstone team has done since Goblins vs Gnomes, possibly full stop. Easily the best adventure.

Now that League of Explorers is done, returned to doing Arena. And I have to say, all those LoE cards have definitely given a real jolt to the quality of drafts.

Spoiler for My last 48 hours in Arena:

My results in the last 48 hours have been:

Mage for 11
Shaman for 6
Rogue for 1
Rogue for 9
Paladin for 7
Druid for 7
Mage for 9
Paladin for 11
Paladin for 3
Mage for 12-2

Spoiler for The most divine pack reward I will probably ever get:

I got this from the Shaman run. Really needed it after falling just short with that first Mage run.

Spoiler for Decklist of the final run:

Versed only Paladin, Rogue and Mage all run. Final boss Mage was one I'm stunned I actually beat. I got the board early but 3 Flamestrikes from them changed that....even with me not loading the board too much. Got my Onyxia out after that only to have it cop a Flame Lance. Gradually they got board until we both played Spellslingers. They got Demonfire and Conceal, so they got to hide their 5 minion board after several trades. I got Lightbomb and Commanding Shout. Only got the shout after my board got cleared. Cleared their board in full with the Lightbomb after waiting about 5 turns to get a major swing. Drew Faerie Dragon, Haunted Creeper and Darkscale Healer to finally get a board, they drew burn spells three turns in a row and went face with all of them since they were down to around 10 in life while I was still around 20. Held on...just.

I definitely agree that this adventure really turned out nicely. A lot of cards that really work nicely in decks which is always good. The fewer completely useless cards the better .

Had plenty of fun with the little story in this one. Plus they seem to be getting a bit more creative for the fights. Some of which not actually being battles but rather struggles to escape.

Interesting seeing which decks have become more prevalent for the various classes. I'm not sure if it's that common, but plenty of fun being had with the Murloc OTK for Paladin. Anyfin Can Happen certainly has some crazy burst potential if you build the deck right.

Can't comment on Arena. Haven't been doing that nearly as much lately. Mostly since I haven't had that many good runs so somewhat stopped seeing that much benefit for it.

Now that I have completed the last wing of Naxrramas... V_V

[Eisdrache]

You'll be able to play all these cards in ... "wild", which by the way is one of the most retarded format names I have seen.

Yeah, I don't care much for the name of the format .

Still, the news itself isn't bad. A lot of things people had asked for. More deck slots is good. And changing things up with the formats works. Can keep playing as normal in wild and have a very different card pool with standard. Takes care of some problems for newer players, have a mode they can focus on and less cards they have to try and get.

Seems like something hearthstone probably needed to do. Though it's going to hurt as someone who likes his Paladin deck (losing Muster for Battle and Shielded Minibot is rough).

[Ulin]

Muy strongest deck is a mech wizard so I totally understand you

[Blaat]

So far it feels like aggro/face decks are the big winners as midrange/control decks loses a lot of their anti-aggro counters.

I am looking forward to the basic/classic set card nerfs, I'm pretty sure Savage Roar will be one of the nerfed cards.
