The new wing was really fun! There were some of the bosses that added some great new gameplay. Though it was easy to figure out that rush and low cost decks were the way to go..
And in the end the wing was completed with a classic rush hunter.. But I cannot wait to try them on HC

Yeah, really interesting mechanics, specially the "help" mechanic I've beat them bosses with various classes. Funny thing, I've beat Nefarian with a Mage. Way to make things harder with Flamestrikes

Non...
I'll have a busy weekend so I probably won't try HC bosses until the end of it...
On a side note I had a first encounter with a Dragon Paladin type of deck with Eggs, Consorts etc. And damn those Hungry Dragons are insane. In like two turns he had complete board control...
Btw I found out that so far Alexstrasza only fits into my Warlock deck as a "healer"

Great card on paper (if you manage to protect him, he makes hunters power quite OP), yet I've seen it only once when playing against Hunter...
On a side note 4th wing HC bosses were really irritating. It's incredible I managed to beat the three of them in one afternoon (but with pre-made decks of course )...

I quite like the card. I have used it a few times in arena, where it is indeed difficult to set it up, but in a constructed deck the situations might be different and easier to manage.
Yeah.. they are all really difficult. Nice with a challenge

Funny thing happened to me recently in Arena.
First pick: 3 Legendaries, one meh other two Sylvanas and Deathwing. With heavy heart I picked Sylvanas (though I don't like this card) cause Deathwings more situational. No biggie cause I once again had an option to pick him later (one of the other Legends was Loatheb but I took that reappearing Deathwing as a sign ). He's won me two games... Run was 6-3 cause I stumbled upon two fast aggro (both Warrior!) decks, but I've beat two Mages, one with three Flamestrikes .

Nice I love Deathwing, but yes very situational But just his presence on a board.. you go "ffs not Deathwing!"
but can I just say that I find it very easy win in Arena when you have some of the stronger legendaries or just all around good legendaries .. I tend to win more at least

Well it depends. There were sure-win games I lost cause my opponent top-decked a Deathwing (same can be said about my recent run and my opponents ), or there were Arena runs in which I had Dr. Boom in my deck and didn't draw him even once Legends are to rare to count them as a viable element in Arena. Sure, they can win you games but imo it's better to have an abundance of solid minions that are good for trading then a fat Legendary which sometimes won't even see play...
I'm pretty satisfied with my recent Arena results. I'm getting 6-3 or higher on average right now (before I usually got 3-3's). Maybe I'll break that 12 really soon, who knows
Btw I've put Bolvar in my mech-Paladin deck just for fun, cause soon I'll be playing a dragon themed deck so there won't be a chance to try him out. After stalling for a while I've played him when he had 11 attack already. My opponent just hit him with a weapon killing himself in the process. Exactly the same reaction that I've read about on forums Even if he managed to remove Bolvar somehow, I've still had Boom on my hand

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't play ranked. I only go for that rank 20 each month to get a card back. If they're gonna give some prizes for ranked (I've read somewhere it's possible) then maybe I will...

What do you mean, of course he plays casual mode as well. I don't usually play casual myself because it is so unpredictable - it borderline reminds me of arena ;p But certain decks are not viable on ranked, and I want to play them, so I play on casual. And I recently got SO bored at facing only face hunters in ranked so I switched to casual.
Edit: Oh yeah blob, next time we are online at the same time I wanna watch some shaman reincarnate action

That is a silly comparison. The skill on casual ranges from 0-100 so what you face is luck. You can count averages but it makes little sense. In ranked you know the skill level approximately.

Well surely tomorrow I'll be online cause the last wing makes it debut. I'll finally be able to create my "Family Issues" deck Can't wait.
But sure, I can also play my Reincarnate Shaman deck. It can be incredibly fun to watch with the right circumstances (like my opponent not killing off Baron Rivendare ).

Anecdotal, but I stopped playing casual, because I faced nothing but top tier aggressive and control decks.

Family Issues deck, burning up!
For those of you who don't remember here's the full decklist (it's completely my own idea I didn't use any reference ):
1x Avange
1x Noble Sacrifice
1x Worgen Infiltrator
1x Equality
1x Annoy-o-Tron
1x Faerie Dragon
1x Shielded Minibot
1x Coghammer
1x Aldor Peacekeeper
1x Big Game Hunter
2x Blackwing Technician
1x Truesilver Champion
2x Blessing of Kings
2x Consecration
1x Dragonkin Sorcerer
2x Hungry Dragon
2x Blackwing Corruptor
2x Dragon Consort
1x Sludge Belcher
1x Draconid Crusher
1x Emperor Thaurissan
1x Nefarian
1x Onyxia
1x Deathwing
The deck is really fun to play. It's strength lies in the fact that opponent has to constantly face heavy minions, right from the start. In those couple of games that I played so far I always had at least one dragon in hand to trigger synergies. Turn 2 (with coin) 3/5 Technician is a threat that is impossible to counter with any spell at this point of the game (so opponent has to trade). Real fun starts when Consorts start to rampage. On turn 6 it's not impossible to have 2x Consort + Hungry Dragon on board (with he first Consort played on turn 5). Blackwing Corruptor can be really helpful for clearing those pesky minions. And if all goes well, turn 7 Nefarian boosts my hand with some nice spells (fun fact: depending on the class you play against he's summoning taunt is unique). If he clicks, Thaurissan can really spice thing's up (he's perfect for this type of control-ish decks).
I'm still thinking of adding more Taunters. BGH is a wasted slot, so I think I'll add Muster for Battle. Paladin has some really nice early game minions/spells, perfect for this deck. I don't know about that Equality, I find that it's more of double-edged sword then a reliable card. Hmm, maybe Lay of Hands is a good idea? It heals and gives late game draw...
Of course the deck has it's downsides. Aggro and Zoo decks are a nightmare (but which deck doesn't have problems with them? Though every time I manage to hold quite well against them). Lack of removals is also a problem (but it's an age old problem of Paladin class).
Well, the deck still needs testing, and like some of you guys say it's not competetive material, but because of my love for dragons it really hit the nail on the head
PS: I've beat all the bosses in one try with various decks. Oh, and final battle was really exciting, I used my Druid deck and managed to play all my Legendaries. Won by a horse's nail
EDIT: I replaced Equality with Muster for Battle which is always handy, and Nullifier for BGH cause his spell shield makes him hard to one shot. I'm positively surprised by this deck: so far I've won a lot of games, lost mostly because of bad early draws. I even beat Huntards and Mech-Mages with it...
