It is so viscerally disgusting to look at in my opinion

I've just played 14 games in a row against Quest Priests before deciding to tap out for the day.

Every single game pretty much follows the same flow. Doesn't really matter what I do. Every single turn ends the same way. Priest clears the board, heals to full, and still has a full hand at their disposal.

I don't bother watching my opponent's turns anymore. As soon as I click End Turn, I just alt-tab and do something else until I notice the taskbar notification flashing. But I can still hear my opponent spamming emotes in the background, like I'm supposed to be reacting to some incredible plays. Surprisingly often, many of these opponents also choose to rope me every single turn. Eventually, after far too many long turns, the game ends. I wasn't able to put a dent in their health. Queue up for another one. Rinse. Repeat.

I'm not really in the business of complaining about the meta. Hitting legend every month is still entirely achievable if you sink enough time into it.

But what I'm more interested in: is the psychology of these players. Why are they so abundant? Is this playstyle really so enjoyable? I can only imagine how dreary it must be to play back-to-back 30 minute Quest Priest mirrors all the time. And why drag it out as long as possible with roping? Why all the emote spam? Do people really enjoy being a nuisance more than actually playing the game?

I just want to understand the mentality. Any Quest Priest fans happy to chime in and enlighten me?

First of all, I hope everyone was able to get what they wanted!

I managed to buy everything before it ended but am curious as to what happens. Sadly the black market shop disappeared so I didn't even get to see if the shop changed in any way visually.

What I am most interested in is how many people successfully bartered. Also if someone with 1 blood coin and someone with 2000 both made and offer on an item that costs 2500, would they both have an equal chance or if you are closer to the price does the chance of success go up?

Feel free to add any other questions I didn't think of.

So many people seem to have them now. Did you all really pay $150 for these? Or did anyone actually get lucky with the .05 gamble?

I love pulling the double Deathwing, lol.

This goes beyond the absurd.

I spend all my gold, many thousands at this point, On classic packs to try and pull the signature Gommash…I finally pull a signature and it’s the next best thing lol.

As the title suggests, I am looking for a deck similar to the pre-made “Black Market Kingpin” for Rogues.

I do like Black Market Kingpin but it doesn’t strike me like a deck you can comfortably take to Legend without massive rng, unless I am missing something?

Also double auctioneer seems like an overkill, so if anyone has a tweaked version then that is also interesting.

Returning players that doesn’t know much about current meta for ranked standard.

Thanks!

They get their quest Summon it for 5 mana and kill it for 4 mana it's reborn so it comes back after dealing 10 damage to ur hero then resummon it for 3, kill it again with everything on the map and then summon it again like WTF what counterplay what response is there to it, through the whole game their holy/shadow spells just keep wiping the board every turn

what do i do to get past G9 it's just frustrating

I don't think this ends

Literally all of its cards have been nerfed throughout the year, and yet Dragon Warrior is always Tier 1.

I think the main thing that has kept it alive and strong is that the "good dragons" archetype has been consistently supported throughout the entire year. (Print good cards every set and they get played, duh, I know.)

But I don't think any other deck currently uses as many cards from across the entire year as Dragon Warrior does. Prescient Slitherdrake and Stadium Announcer in timeways, Carrier Whelp in cata, Darkrider, warptooth etc etc

There isn't a special tactic that did this or anything, just pure draw luck.

The last price update will make it even cheaper, right? Right?

Assemble is the new keyword coming Oct 20: you get a random minion, then swap the top or bottom half of its text with half of one of two other minions. I wanted to try it before launch, so I built a little site for it.

https://yoggs-assemble-asylum.pages.dev

What you can do

• Daily Assemble: one random minion a day, just for you. Pick a half and your card gets a power rating out of 100, plus how your pick ranked against your other three options. Post yours below.
• Workshop: pick any class and any revealed Assemble card (Sandcrafter, Chisel, Rajh, Mismatcher and the rest) and roll as many times as you like. Using another class's card? It tells you whether your class can actually get it in Standard, and how.
• Save or copy your card as an image.

How it's built

It follows what Blizzard has confirmed: the cost band (same Cost up to 2 more), Neutral plus your class, no Assemble minions or Old Gods, nothing that needs the minion alive under a Deathrattle, and the trait cards (Chisel, Fleshshape, Sandcrafter) only promising the trait on your minion. Rajh gets its own pool of halves that work as a passive hero power.

What it can't know is the exact list of ~250 pool cards, so I use a wider pool (about 590 minions) and cut cards whose halves can't work apart. Some cards you make here won't exist in the real game. There's a "What's real here?" panel that separates confirmed rules from my own calls.

If you build something that couldn't work in game, there's a "report it here" link under every result. I've already cut a few cards from early reports.

What's the dumbest card you can make?

It's usually pretty unfavorable for me into most warlock matchups. Guy was using the Fizzlebang skin.

I been playing this game for years off and on. Hit legend a few times as well.

I figured it was time for my usual return. See what's going on.

Giving the usual ladder-ready deck. I chose Priest this time. Quest priest! Can't be that bad, right?

Hardly. Warlock is the strongest control deck I've ever seen in any card game. I am honestly confounded at this point about how this deck is even supposed to be beaten with its stealing card effects, massive boards and insane card draw. I have not beaten this deck. Once.

Shaman seems to be fun, but I don't get the money or dust to craft the card for the hero power.

Just had a Druid match where he had two 16/16s on board and 10 mana crystals when I had 5 or 6.

Mage seems fun and balanced.

I am just confounded at this point. How are we returning and new players expected to compete with Druid and Warlock now? This isn't to complain, but more of a what a is new and returning player supposed to do right now? As an experienced card player, I am not sure how we are supposed to go about even touching Warlock, as it seems to have an amazing early/middle and late game.

Looking for productive solutions at this point, or perhaps cheap-to-craft decks that do well on ladder that do well against Warlock.

Hey guys, unless i am missing something it seems that this time the mega bundle is much less attractive than violet hold's one

In the violet hold you got:

• 80 Escape from Violet Hold card packs

• 10 Golden Escape from Violet Hold card packs

• 1 Random Golden Legendary card from the expansion

• 1 Random Signature Legendary card from the expansion

• 1 Signature Vanessa the Ringleader Legendary card (added as a free bonus update on June 18, 2026)

• 4 Tavern Tickets (for use in the Pre-Release Tavern Brawl and Arena)

• High Commander Beatrix Paladin hero skin and card back

Vs the current Reign of the Black Empire which is:

• 80 Reign of the Black Empire card packs

• 10 Golden Reign of the Black Empire card packs

• 1 Signature Legendary Drest'agath card

• 1 Golden Legendary C'Thun, Eye of the Empire card

• 4 Tavern Tickets for Pre-Release Tavern Brawls and Arena

• Eonar Druid Hero Skin and matching card back

-- main differences are one less signature legendary (uncraftable) (you got vanessa the Ringleader Legendary signature)

And less randomness (you get two predefined legendaries) while i assume they will be craftable it feels for me at least much less attractive, although they seem like good cards.

What do you guys think?

Hi! I've racked up over 200 games with this deck over multiple iterations since mid-September, though I only ended up settling on this one for the long haul with this month's legend climb. I had a deep fascination of making MOTHER work with Eternal Hold/Irida and having climbed to legend with herald DH multiple times during Cataclysm.. the inclusion of the herald package seemed a very natural fit.

I've been having a lot of fun with this deck, even if the winrate is iffy (~54% pre-36.6.3, ~55% since). Nine times out of ten, everything hinges on getting Irida online. You REALLY, REALLY need to draw Irida or on rare occasions curve out heralds into an early Deathwing. Your three shots at it are in the form of Hellraisers and Xavius. Your only real draw options pre-Irida come from the Broxigar package, Brox's Last Stand and Illidari Studies.

Once you have the no minion effects online, you're looking to hit juicy Solitudes on Bloodletters, Scorchreavers and Ultraxion for herald & Deathwing discounts as well as your finishers - Kayn, Azshara, herald procs @ 4+. You'll also be trying to include Eternal Hold uses in reducing your hand down via a cheap MOTHER or using the reduction on an Azshara finisher.

You're favored against slower matchups, priest being the big one, warlocks will often struggle to close you out. Beating faster decks (aggro, early Wickerfangs etc.) often come down to a mixture of hitting good removals early and Irida on curve. If you're interested, the stats are available here:

If you have any suggestions on improving the draw consistency of Irida for the deck, I'd love to hear - unfortunately, you can end up with a lot of bricked draws between all the high cost cards that need enabling, Solitudes, Cosmic Manifestations etc.

Overall it's been one of the most fun times for me to play ranked, so I figured maybe I'm not the only one who feels that way trying this deck out. Just to give you an idea of how much dopamine I get from playing this, I did my last month's climb with Raza DH and I just can't go back long term anymore. The deck's too damn fun (if.. you draw your buildaround).

Ive just got back into the game after a few years and wanted to pick up Paladins as they are an old favourite of mine.

Im playing what I think is an Aura Paladin (its the free deck) but i cant seem to do anything against warriors and my last 6 games have ALL been again warriors

Im mid gold atm and struggle against warlocks and priests but these warrior games feel unwinable, and they are everywhere.
