One More Week Until Honor Event Gets Decided, Alliance Still In The Lead
I mean, the meta allows Control deck to flourish, and the devs making sure of it by nerfing every combo deck if they still oppressive. So of course Alliance got better stand.
I’ve even seen the case where Horde players plays control deck more and more.
Ah. anyway. 1 more month before miniset, and I’ve done 95% achievements.
Nothing left to do aside for daily quests.
Did the First Alterac Valley Balance Patch Change the Meta?
Not getting the cards, just adding it to the Duels deck from the card buckets after every round. Supposedly, for example, if you add enough handbuff cards in your basic deck, you’ll have a chance to get Saidan eventually. The problem is, it needs a few tries obviously.
That’s how I finish my Ivus achievement. The easiest one. Just play the card when you have 10 mana, and done. Add enough battlecry cards to basic deck, and keep searching until they give you Ivus in one of the buckets.
Happy Holidays from Hearthstone Top Decks!
Merry Christmas, And soon Happy New Year to everyone. Especially Admins
Live, Laugh, and Enjoy your life!
Don’t be depressed. Seek help if you do.
Otherwise, Cheer up!
Did the First Alterac Valley Balance Patch Change the Meta?
Funny enough, I have not seen Mage even once . Maybe next season Standard ranked climb.
Right now, I’m just staying in Duels for achievements. Those are the only way to get Legendaries I don’t have.
Did the First Alterac Valley Balance Patch Change the Meta?
Short answer? No.
Long answer, from my perspective, I was facing about 7 out of 10 Quest Pirate Warrior in Standard.
Quest OTK demon Hunter still roam somewhere. but less than before.
Quest Rogue still exist. Aggro Taunt Druid (even with the addition of wolves from AV), still pretty much alive.
HSReplay also shown Quest deck still the leader of meta with over 50% winrate with the exception of Priest Quest. I hope these facts will be enough to tell those devs that the problem lies within the Quest. No amount of nerfing cards around the quest will be enough to bring down Quest notorierity.
As long as Quest not nerfed, AV cards won’t see any trend whatsoever in Standard Ranked.
Balance Patch 20.0.2 Is Live! 9 Constructed Nerfs (Druid, Paladin, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior, Neutral), 5 Buffs (Mage, Hunter) + Battlegrounds Changes
I may call it lucky, because I’m sitting with 2 Golden Celestial Alignment, the only golden epics I’ve got in Barrens expansions. That alone is already half the total dust.
But sure, I always keep problematic cards and never dust any golden cards I opened. Because the value of golden cards are WAY too high compared to the non-golden, especially in refund state. You could easily obtain 5 to 10 times the value when you dust them when refund happened.
Any problematic cards is any card with the ability to cheat mana. or has the ability to draw massive amount of cards, like 1 mana draw 4 etc. But it can also refered to cheating mana too. The standard is always within 3 mana draw 2. When some cards doing better than that, it’s a problem card.
The rest of the cards I never keep. Meaning, you need to sort the cards on your own.
Fun Fact, I still hold 2 golden copies of Lightning Bloom, because in my standpoint, that one still is a problem.

They still fail to see the problem of Quest Spell.
They fail to see the Demon Seed, they nerfed the heal factor and Rod
They fail to see the Warrior Quest, they nerfed the small 1 minion.
Why oh why would you nerfed every card around the quest. Somehow they still trying to figure out how to make quest more popular when it’s a failure.
Anyway. great dust comeback. 6520. Enough for 4 new hero legendary. Cariel, Guff, Tavish, and Xyrella. I’m coming for you.
Are the Stormwind Questlines problematic in Fractured in Alterac Valley?
What do you mean, “Questlines can be a problem” when it’s already a problem.
People has finished the testing week and already going back to the same questline solitaire meta. (minus ignite mage, I haven’t face that deck in a while now).
And when you said QL can be a problem in next rotation? I can already predict they will raise the power level to another step beyond this year. A 1 mana 2/3 minion with bonus effect should be happening soon.

Did my eyes deceived me?
The undoing of Zeddy Blacklist, and the first sponsored giveaway.
The plan on doing Tournament mode, even if it’s still very vague.
Now this? Is this all Alkali’s doing? the new community manager?
F*cking finally.. Now, kick that *ss Kotick from the company please.

Too much to nerf Trogg to 2 mana, hence killing the card outright.
I believe Trogg gonna get Saronite Chain Gang nerf. Summon only original 1/2 trogg, and not a copy of buffed Trogg.
Soul Rend not a problem, Warlock Hero card is not a problem, infinite fatigue damage is.
Owl is not a problem, Phylactery is.
Raise Dead not a problem, heavy card draw shenanigan is.
But I agree with one part. Warlock got too much healing tools.
Quest pirate is not a problem, it’s struggle against some decks.
Plus we haven’t explore all control deck yet. Give it time.

“Free Your Mind” from all the sh*t that’s been going on with Acti-Blizz lawsuit. Because that sh*ts will destroy the game we all love.
Also, drop your price Blizz. I can’t recommend this game to anyone now.
Patch 22.0 Known Issues Update & Hotfix - Mercenaries XP Gain Fixed, Korrak Not Giving Full Dust Refund
Golden version? I think not. It was the same with Golden Kael’thas, since it was purposely made so that any non-disenchatable cards cannot be found from packs.
They could easily make non-golden Vanndar/Drek’thar unopenable, but I think they are more lazy than unable to. Want some proof? Notice how the bugs in this expansion very similar with the last one. Legendary counts not working? Achievements not working?
Yeah, they’re lazy. Why busy working to find bugs when players can find it and report it?

Turns out it can be disenchantable now, probably fixed last update.
But still feel cheated.
Patch 22.0 Known Issues Update & Hotfix - Mercenaries XP Gain Fixed, Korrak Not Giving Full Dust Refund
Just when I thought I was alone, I then see a lot of post where people open Vanndar/Drekthar in their first Legendary. Something smells fishy. I thought it sounds good when they gave 3 free legendaries this time. But I guess it’s just a sad dream.
Blizzard will always be greedy. and that’s a fact.
Patch 22.0 Known Issues Update & Hotfix - Mercenaries XP Gain Fixed, Korrak Not Giving Full Dust Refund
Busted in terms “if you can always mulligan them everytime”. Building a deck that relies heavily on that card and going all big minions is not a very good strategy, unless it really pays off.
I’ve seen the case, play it a lot, and suffer a lot against aggro deck and especially Spell Mage.
So. it might not be nerfed at all. But I can be wrong too.
Fractured in Alterac Valley Early Meta Decks - Hearthstone Pro & Streamer Legend Deck Lists, Deck Ideas, Decks for All Classes!
Congrats.
I’m on the other hand, swearing curses multiple times as I opened Drek’thar, no Hero cards, no golden epics nor legendary, 8 consecutive packs with only rares, and I wonder why they called Hearthstone an immensely expensive game. Because even with 90 packs, you don’t even have near half the expansion. That’s more than $50 in cash value btw.
Sorry about the rants.
Best Fractured in Alterac Valley Decks From Day 1
I really really want to play with more Hero cards than ever. But it seems luck isn’t on my side.
I was able to open 5 legendaries from 90 packs, minus 1 goes to Drek’thar (Sh*tty poor odd, 1 of 24), none of it was Hero cards.
Level 20 track rewards me with Ivus. Gonna push to lv.50 for another.

However, still felt sucks to open Drek’thar in the first Legendary. It was supposed to be free.
And not be able to dust the non-golden variant is also sucks. People gonna be mad when their packs loses it’s value because they get a non-dusted card in it. Fix it Greedy Blizzard.
What’s with this pre-made deck? 12 games and not even close to winning. Plus the addition of newcomer who didn’t know how to play co-op and burns my deck with draws. Geez.
The only lucky one I had was a full board summoned from my opponent help, along with Survival of the Fittest card in hand, I manage to deal 52 damage to Pinata in one go. I would sure turns up dead next turn since both of us had less than 5 health.
