So. Tried a Weekly Swiss today... All inferno... and all I got was my Standard Deleb. Did not belive that much in myself. I just wanted a "Take a part in a Swiss" DQ to be done.
The first person I faced played a random Grant. I played first with lava spawn on my hand.. He on the other hand played hall of torment as his first card. This was a mistake. i got the speed on my side and nothing could stop me
Second game, a grant again, played a breeder deck with mass removals, This game was a pure luck win. Played first again, Had Lava spawn and 2 taskmasters. First taskmaster discarded Forbiden flame, Second one discarded Arkeths Wrath. With AoE spells gone my hords had no problems with the breeders
I Thought the last player would be a rage-troll Dhami, but it turned out I was facing a Dark/immolation Kal-Azaar. Lots of Puppet masters, Enthral and Shadow images. But luckaly I got my grant's purge and sacrefical pit.. his Immolatons were damaging him and his shadow images were long gone. When my Doombringer got rid of his immolations and one enthrall card it was finally done.
In the end.. 3 wins, first place and a good feeling that a standard deck can still stand up to open cards

Hectic point made on the Road2Paris June finals:
One more super crucial note, at all grand final games the player who started 2nd won the match. Everytime.

I still play every day as well, mainly the daily quests...to build up wild cards.
I am seeing DoC more as a card collection game too. Still have 4,800 seals for next expansion, over 100 wild cards, and own every card from every set (including BS2).
Besides, if I don't duel in a day, I start getting the shakes

Shot, that's just crazy money though...probably very stressful...
With the amount of stress I experience sometimes playing DoC, this level would kill me!
Side note: My favorite daily quest: "Win a duel in 6 turns or less".
You get 5 wild cards for this and it's quick, only need 1 duel to accomplish it. Deleb does it easily.

I don't really understand what does this have to do with DoC?
Btw, one of those teams(Arrow gaming) have their Visas approved, so they are going, now we will have to wait and see if CIS will be going as well or they will find a replacement.

Yeah, I just didn't understand why you've linked that article. 
But we've talked about this already, nothing we can do to make DoC better. First thing DoC devs should do is begin to listen to the community... since they obviously have no idea what they are doing.

wahahahahahahah... firstly well done in grinding up to 3 mil
BUT
3 mil DoC gold = 349.90 euro [that's if you buy from store using the 300k gold at EUR 34.99] <----clearly DoC is smoking something serious to be charging this much for gold!!
current exchange rate 1 euro = 1.36 US
so you have $475.86 - which after a year or so play is not bad i guess  but $10mil

Doto is on another level than DoC. Maybe Ubi should develop their own M&M moba.

Why haven and sanctuary got the short end of the stick in BS2:
We hit them hard in Base Set 2, but it was needed. Haven had two aggressive creatures that enabled rush in a faction thatĒs meant to be slow. Sanctuary had Ambush cards. Those were creating frustration simply because of lack of feedback. When we built Base Set 2, we took cards with abilities we were more likely to redo and Ambush wasn't part of that. As such, Sanctuary took a pretty big hit.
When we started balancing Haven, instead of trying to make it win at all cost, we asked ourselves: What does Haven need to be a threat in mid to late game? First it needs to stand up to Dark. It also needs relevant threats in T3-T4 and T5. To detract it from becoming rush, its early drops needs to be more defensive or to get better with time.
Sanctuary is a tougher deal. The faction is not meant to perform rush strategies either. We needed to assign it another kind of play style and try to achieve it. It feels like it should be good in control decks and thatĒs where we put our focus. I think we ended up with some really good aggro-control decks.
Kind of makes sense. I hope the new addon will get it right..
New mechanics!
Some units can stack, combining their attack and hp. Damage reduces the stack's strength but dark can kill it outright. Also some units spawn token units! All factions have different takes on the mechanic. Haven has tokens that spawns on a building when you play Humans. Inferno spawns tokens when spells are played. Necro plays A LOT of tokens... Skeleton army FTW!
Tokens sounds fun  I bet there are going to be lots of breeder tokens for that new breeder card.
Brace yourselves, Nerfs are coming!
Swelling Breeder now gives Magic Resist to adjacent breeders only.
Djinn Cloudshaper requires 1 more Might.
Enthrall costs 1 more.
Puppet Master costs 7.
