Oh look I played a game and died to a completely uninteractive OTK Rogue that combo'd out double Malygos and did 35 to my face.

i actually played one of the best games i've played in a while. I was spell hunter vs taunt druid. He used the lich king weapon and rezzed 2 of my zombeast ....which means witching hour was fucked with hardonox. It was a back and forth of him bringing back beefy zombeast and cubing them etc. Then he f inally hardonox'ed and brought back a mix of zombeasts with taunt and poison and his own taunts. I ended up winning but it was a hell of a fun game.

Interesting Patch. Love the free gold pack coming.
Golden Classic Pack
Meh!
Does it guarantee a legendary?
Otherwise not much different than end-of-season rewards.

Free is always good though, but can't say im impressed, especially since I own all classic cards already

I bet the golden classic follows the legendary in first 10 rules, so the twitch prime one counts, this is number 2!

I have the gold for a new legendary. I haven't played much in 3-4 months so here's the options;
Hemet for a version of Shudder
Togwaggle(don't have Azelina)
Tess(leaning towards)
Sonya- amazing but any decks use now?
Lynessa
Val'anyr

I have no needs but wanted to try a fun new deck that could still be competitive if I suddenly get the wild hair. Also, quite possibly heading back to Wild and might just save for Togwaggle deck. Is it really that fun? Still competitive? Are any of these other cards used by a top competitive wild deck now?

I played in the dreamhack austin grand prix. I ended up 4-3, I didn't go to the last 2 swiss rounds because 3 losses meant I had no chance at top 16. I brought quest priest, even shaman, odd paladin, and token druid. I got in a reverse sweep with odd pally and one sweep with token druid. The rest were good series, I never got swept.

I definitely had some misplays and missed lethal once I think with druid, im sure I could had done it differently that game. It was fun though, met some cool people. Tilted one guy so much that he rage quit, and said it was the last game of hearthstone he is going to play, and hes done. We shook hands and all but he was rustled as fuck from a spreading plague top deck. It was pretty dirty, lol.

Stancifka hit rank 1 this season with standard togwaggle, but the vs report has it as a t4 deck. So it appears to be good but insanely hard to pilot.

Update 11.2, Tess Greymane, and HCT Seoul - Hearthstone Forums
Greetings,

Thank you for your feedback regarding the recent Update 11.2. We apologize for not offering notice in advance of these changes before they went live. We understand that this wasn’t a good experience and that it also had an impact on some of our esports competitors as well. This wasn’t an acceptable situation all around, and we’ll do better in the future.

Update 11.2 brought with it some changes as part of our ongoing, overall goal to make card interactions more intuitive across the board. The intention of some of those changes was to align four similar cards (Tess Greymane, Lynessa, Shudderwock, and Yogg-Saron). If you’re familiar with the way that one of these minions works, you should be able to guess how the others work. We added a cap to the maximum number of effects that can be generated by these Battlecries, and made Tess’ Battlecry end if she was destroyed, silenced, or otherwise removed, just like Yogg-Saron.

After hearing your feedback to that change, we initially considered offering a full Arcane Dust refund for Tess. We also read feedback from players who use Tess in their decks asking for her to be reverted to her old functionality. In this case, we agree that it’s worthwhile to sacrifice some consistency so Tess is more fun to play, especially since our priority wasn’t to decrease Tess’ power level. With that in mind, instead of offering an Arcane Dust refund and encouraging players to disenchant the card, we’re reverting one of the changes to Tess Greymane so that her Battlecry will continue even if she’s destroyed, silenced, or otherwise removed from the board.

This situation has also raised discussions regarding the definition of a card fix versus a dust-refunding nerf, so we thought this would be a good time to talk about our stance on the subject.

We will continue to provide full Arcane Dust refunds for changes to cards that decrease their overall power level for balance purposes — in other words, card nerfs.

We’re working to improve Hearthstone and make the underlying mechanics more intuitive. Bug fixes or system-wide mechanics changes to improve the game will not be grounds for a full Arcane Dust refund on a card. System-wide mechanical updates affect many different cards in ways that could make some more or less powerful, such as the interaction between Jungle Giants and Faceless Manipulator.

Lynessa Sunsorrow was never intended to apply her buffs in the order they were cast, so the update to her functionality in 11.2 was a bug fix for that card. The cap of 30 effects is a system-wide change intended to protect the service and players from potentially bad play experiences that have minimal player value. We’re planning to raise the cap of Shudderwock’s Battlecry from 20 to 30 when we implement the fix that reverts Tess, as well.

We’re currently planning to revert the change that caused Tess Greymane to stop casting her Battlecry when destroyed, silenced, or otherwise removed on June 8th PDT.

HCT Seoul and Quest Druid

We also would like to take this moment to apologize to our player community for this update’s impact on the HCT Tour Stop taking place in Seoul this weekend, specifically the 15 players who brought Quest Druid decks.

After considering recent feedback and significant discussion, we felt that Quest Druid decks were most directly affected in terms of viability as a result of the changes that were introduced with Update 11.2. As such, we allowed players that brought Quest Druid an opportunity to resubmit their deck.

Balancing the health of the game with the needs and calendar of a global esport like the Hearthstone Championship Tour is always challenging. This wasn’t an acceptable situation all around, for us, our players, and competitors, and we’ll do better in the future.

Thanks again for your feedback and your understanding, and we'll see you in the Tavern.

What are the hard counters to Shudderwock now? It looks like they've found the sweet spot bc I've seen that damn deck everywhere today. Reminds me of the reasons I haven't really played in about 3 months....interactive games of HS.

The arena with these crazy cards is kind of fun just had my first 12-0 arena run with a mage deck full of that OP shit.

Arena does feel pretty nuts. The Warrior weapon is pretty amusing. Some guy on Turn 9 played the 3 mana 2/4 echo taunt guy 3 times, I killed it with the weapon, which killed all 3, and 2 more out of his deck. Was giggling like a school girl
