I feel like people are misunderstanding the purpose of this card. It is clearly ment for zoo board flooding archetype and not slower archetypes that would want only big demons. Zoo has no problems with summoning 4 small to mid size demons. Even if it summons 4 demons with average cost of 2 mana per each, it is a solid board flood in a single card, providing additional support with invoke mechanic. The real question is, how good are invoke cards for warlock… And honestly, the ones revealed so far don’t seem that strong.
On that note, I would love to finally see some love for slower warlock archetypes and not just zoo.

And how often does warrior has minions in his board? Control version not that often. It is insane board clear or big treat kind of card.

And I tough druid was tha mana ramp class

Hopefully it will last longer this time 🙂

The new teaser definitely suggests something dragon related with those dragon skeletons – Deathwing perheaps?

Indeed. One of the biggest advantages Hearthstone has over it’s competitors (like Magic for instance) is the fact that it can be played on mobile. Once they lose this advantage, they can quickly loose a bunch of mobile players.

They better release the fixes sooner rather than later. Lately, I have been only able to play on mobile during week days and on PC only during weekends. Needless to say that it has been a very frustrating experience when the game suddenly crushed or disconnected and thus results in you missing a full turn and consequently losing a game, even from a much better position. Hence I am forced to climb the ladder only during weekends, whereas during week days I can only play casual lately. The issues started with the release of wild event. Before it, there were smaller issues, but nothing as severe and/or frustrating.

I close my case with that…

Don’t get me wrong. I praise blizzard for what they are doing lately: buffing cards, bringing old ones back etc. They are experimenting and trying bring something fresh to the meta between expansions, which is always good. They do have to keep an eye on balance tough. If things get out of hands, like with popularity and power level of shaman for instance, they should intervene. Quest shaman was the most popular before wild event and is still the most popular now.

I would argue that creative deck building and trying to win with those decks is even more fun than netdecking top tier decks.

When you face shaman in 8 of your last 10 games (the others being tempo rogue and highlander mage), then you know the meta is getting stale. I understand that people want to win, but playing same tier 1 decks all over again gets repetitive and boring. Sometimes I really miss more experimentation and less netdecking. After all, games are made to have fun.

True, but to be honest, Jepetto is really underwhelming in the deck and should probably be dropped off the deck in the first placed. Dreampetal Florist is probably a better choice.

I love this kind of lore related articles. I never played wow (I only played up to Warcraft 3), but since I am always intrigued by stories and good story telling, I find articles like this fascinating.

I completely understand. There is so much going on at the moment and it would be surprising if you could playtest everything. I have to admit, there are plenty of decks on this list I haven’t tried myself. After all, the wild cards are out for less than a week and the meta is still developing. There might even be a new deck or two in few weeks when people playtest everything.

As for the list, I just replaced Worthy expeditions with one Baleful and Emperor Thaurissan. The rest is the same.

I find it really surprising myself that Baleful Banker versions report lower stats (I did see the statistics, so I believe you :)) . I mean, it is just one tech card (two if you add in Emperor Thaurissan as well). Since the only difference to original deck is replacement of either Worthy Expedition or King Phaoris and Cenarius with obove mentioned cards, one could deduce that would only improve specific matchups. Especially since Worthy Expedition isn’t exactly shining. One explanation might be that players are going for infinite Kun no mather what, when in reality, in certain matchups the deck should be played as original quest druid.

As for the answers, isn’t Zephrys just that? Especially if you go infinite. However, my preferred strategy that has been working marvelously when it comes to N’Zoth boards in particular is to counter their board with my own Kun, Elise, Baleful, Hidden Oasis boards (discounted by Emperor) . Since you gain 10 armor, heal for 12 and put a 6/6 taunt on the board every turn, they can’t just kill you.

Agree with everything, except for Druid not having answer to N’Zoth. An addition of baleful banker allows you to go infinite with Elise, Kun, Zephrys and an extra card of your choice. So far, I haven’t lost a single game against N’Zoth builds.
Also, midrange N’Zoth warlock shows some promise as well, I would either add it or replace control warrior that seems to be struggling.

A correction note: Kun gives 10 armor, not 7.

You can do the same with only 1 banker since you copy it first with Elise and once you shuffle Elise into your deck, there is still one banker in your hand. Second innervate is probably the way to go, but I just couldn’t bring myself to leave any of the top end cards out.

In the meantime, they supposedly fixed the plague Lords issue on the servers. I haven’t tested it yet tough.
I quote:
“Update: We’ve recently implemented a server-side update in all regions to fix the issue causing Plague Lord persistent health to fail to save.

You may experience some minor unexpected results due to this change, but there shouldn’t be anything gameplay impacting.

Thanks!”

I happened to me as well, twice on heroic mode. First time I played as Finley, got the second plague lord just below 100 and he started at 300. The second time, I played as Reno. Again I managed to put him below 100 just to realize that this time he went back to 289 life. I can’t confirm it for the first plague lord since I managed to beat it in first try. Seems to be a bug.

Regarding final chapter and it’s boss. If you keep pressing the arrows in the “chapter selection menu” (last picture in the article) you get to fifth and final chapter which says that it gets unlocked once all 4 previous chapters are completed. Based on the wording I would assume it is free, but only to those who complete all 4 chapters. In addition, it also says that High Pharaoh Tekahn serves as the final boss, representing plague of flames.
Since there is a hero for every chapter before that, I am wondering if there is a fifth hero as well, representing the missing warlock ckass.
