That said, the new safety nets at ranks 15, 10, and 5 allow me to get away with shit like this in ranked without consequence.

Today's quest: summon 20 minions that cost 2 mana or less. Reward, 40 gold.

Blizz, the size of the minions was not my problem, it was the size of the payout. Now I have to be careful not to summon too many big ones today so I can get a chance at a reroll tomorrow.

I let them pile if they're things I have to go out of my way to do, but I play pretty much every day and if the quest already aligns with what I'm doing, I'm not just gonna log off for later expediency.
I have to ration my time in Hearthstone if I'm gonna get all the quests done but still have enough time to binge on Overwatch. I'm already having to cut off Diablo entirely until next season.

I've gotten to Ravenpoe's point that I can only visit r/hearthstone for news. I thought it'd cool to see people discuss Hearthstone. I was wrong.
That is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. And whining babies.
We may be getting something Overwatch-related soon, maybe a brawl. Mercy's VA recorded a line about Hogger.
Also, tavern brawls for the foreseeable future will give out Un'Goro packs starting with today's.

They switched to Gadgetzan for a few weeks after that released; I think this is just how they do around expansions.
This is a lame and not fun brawl, but if you have something else to do while you're playing it, the time to sit there, and make sure to get your turns done swiftly, the matches are fast and you can rack up victory gold without too much time or effort.
That said, I'd rather keep trying at ranked. Just dipped back to 14; really want to at least make 10 this season.

Un'Goro packs are openable on April 6 at 10 AM Pacific time. Setting your comp to that allows you to try opening them, but it crashes the program since there's nothing there yet 
.
So three weeks, between brawls, the eventual daily log/ins, and gold saved and to be saved, plus the pre-order, I should have between 75-80 packs to open. And I'm off from work that day anyway, so I'm hoping it doesn't get delayed.

Sweet:
[DOUBLEPOST=1489775505,1489775084][/DOUBLEPOST]Oooh, I like this one too:
[DOUBLEPOST=1489775598][/DOUBLEPOST]YES!
Whoa; people joked about the pirate equivalent to the murloc-eating crab, but Blizz actually did it.[DOUBLEPOST=1489776461,1489776423][/DOUBLEPOST]
I see your auto correct did the same as mine tried to over murloc.
You know, I saw it happen, but I assumed it was just capitalizing "Murloc" as a proper noun, I didn't notice it had actually changed the spelling.

I don't like hearing that quests can be counter-spelled; on the other hand, the point is to get them out at the start of the game, so counterspell only works against them if you're trying to hoard the quest plus some of its cards so the opponent won't know. That said, since countering spells is something only a mage can do, that gives them yet another small edge.
Aaand King Krush isdead extinct. As if that wasn't already the case :/.
Overall I'm pleased. There are some fun-sounding mechanics in these cards. I was planning not look at any until release day, but the excitement and surprise then will come from seeing what cards I get, plus getting them in spurts like this will help to learn them and start thinking up combos/decks, for then the disappointment to set in when I somehow get Millhouse Manastorm even though he's not even an Un'Goro card.

.That card isn't comparable to King Krush. It's a passive card, whereas Krush is an active card (it does something the turn it's played)I don't like hearing that quests can be counter-spelled; on the other hand, the point is to get them out at the start of the game, so counterspell only works against them if you're trying to hoard the quest plus some of its cards so the opponent won't know.

Swamp King Dred is gonna hate people who play poisonous minions.
Also I was worried that my dust was gonna run low, but then I remembered I had both a regular and a golden Illidan...which I converted into 2xGoldenADrake. Hah! Now I'm gonna get another 1600 dust back from my Illidan...sorta.
--Patrick[DOUBLEPOST=1489785084,1489784525][/DOUBLEPOST]Ooo, I see Bluegill Warrior + Dinosize being a thing.

You say that, but I opened an ordinary Overwatch loot box last night and somehow got a Winter Wonderland spray for Mei, even though that event ended Jan 2nd.when I somehow get Millhouse Manastorm even though he's not even an Un'Goro card

Didn't think of poisonous.
And yeah, even Stonetusk Boar has something from Dinosize.
...and Djinn.
Come to think of it, Lakkari Sacrifice + Deathwing would go well together, too.

Djinn of Zephyrs wouldn't gain the charge, though....and Djinn.

--Patrick
Considering that Dinosize costs 8 mana, it wouldn't need charge, because Djinn would've had to be played the previous turn.
--Patrick
It'll also have to be in Wild since djinn is rotating out.

I figured it would have to be, since Dinosize and Volcano effectively replace two of Rafaam's artifacts (though doubling up on +10/+10 would certainly be nice).

The server was having issues yesterday but has been off and on a mess this morning. A freeze-up cost me a ranked match, where I could still see the arrows of what my opponent was doing, but his turns never ended on my side. Then I won a ranked match when the game froze up on the finding opponent screen.
Pretty sure I'm not surpassing rank 13 this season. Somehow secret hunter got me to rank 11 in January, but I keep floundering between 15 and 14, crested to 13 briefly, then hit 14 again. I think without Patches, pirate rogue and pirate warrior just aren't as good unless you get lucky. I suppose if I just keep playing shaman I would get up there, but that's going to get boring fast. Went back to playing my discard Zoolock deck. At least that way, win or lose I'm having fun.

This looks fun:
But does it stack?
...and if it does, does it stack on top of Grimestreet pump guys?
