New keyword "poisonous" applies to Emperor Cobra, Pit Snake, Maexxna, Patient Assassin, and any new cards that kill any minion they damage.

I don't see what Rank 11 has to do with it, you only need to get lucky off 1 2 drop common. :p Plus I see Renolock at every rank.

I mean, if you're below 20 for a whole month, then you aren't playing at all. :p

Well yeah, I'm mainly just playing once every 2-3 days to keep my quests done and earn my 200-300 gold/wk. I don't have a lot of game time and Overwatch and Diablo are more fun for me mainly because I don't have the temptation to spend real-life money on cards shoved in my face all the time.

But even that should be enough to get to 20, all you have to do is play in ranked mode. You don't even lose rank if you lose! Even when I stop giving a fuck for a month I make sure to pop up to 20 for the card back, but I suppose collecting the pretty things is more my schtick than yours. :p

I used to try to make sure I hit 20 every month.
Then I realized there are card backs/heroes/etc. that you basically have to buy or convince other people to buy for you, and then I stopped caring.
Really, I think my initial desire to OWN ALL THE THINGS was destroyed the instant that I discovered certain things were impossible to obtain unless you did things like go to Blizzcon (Golden E.T.C., Gelbin Mekkatorque) or attend a tournament, and once I realized that it would be literally impossible for me to ever own all the things, I started caring a lot less about missing the monthly card back.

That probably extends deeper from card backs and into the cards themselves. If you have a desire to own all the things, that's going to be impossible to sate when they're releasing nearly 400 new cards each year, and that could potentially lead to resenting the game itself.

I pre-ordered the 50 pack thing. That, plus the amount of gold I'll have by the time it releases, should add up to 80 packs, if not more. I'm tempted to use some gold to buy two classic packs, just to show my wife what I mean about her luck vs mine; you'd think she'd get it by now. I sometimes wonder if it has anything to do with her account being 10 years old, with mine being a relatively new account since I lost my old one.

Which kinda sucks now that I realize I had RTS games on there.

That, right there, is also the reason I quit playing M:tG entirely.

Just to show how different my POV is, my initial reaction was "well, I haven't played a whole lot this month, or I'd be higher"

Data mining revealed the daily log-in bonuses:

  • Day 1: 50 Gold
  • Day 2: 1 Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Pack
  • Day 3: 100 Arcane Dust
  • Day 4: 1 Old Gods Pack
  • Day 5: 1 Journey to Un'Goro Pack
  • Day 6: 50 Gold
  • Day 7: 1 Journey to Un'Goro Pack
  • Day 8 - Day 14: 50 Gold
Some people think the day 8 - 14 rewards are in case the expansion gets delayed, and that Blizzard is only expecting the first 7 to go out. On one hand, 4 packs in a week is pretty good just for logging in. On the other hand, if that's all the bonus we get for the start of the new expansion, and log-in bonuses stop after that... Then it fucking sucks and Blizzard can take a hike.

Yeah, me too, I'm also quitting Hearthstone if all we get for logging in is 100 gold, 100 dust, and four packs of cards.

Well, they gave a bunch of free packs through quests with Old Gods and Mean Streets. Aren't they supposed to have an adventure type segment with each expansion now? I bet those have cards.

I'm more annoyed that the $50 pre buy for Mean Streets didn't have a card back.

There won't be an adventure with Un'Goro, but every expansion after that is supposed to include free adventure content that rewards packs.

No card back, no game board, and too early to get adventures to flesh it out. Feels like Mean Streets got a little shafted when there was a lot they could've done with the setting.

Today's brawl is playing as the Mean Streets bosses. I think the pack should've been for Mean Streets instead of Classic and the bosses' card backs should've been the rank 20 ones attributed to each gang. Ah well. At least my classic pack was more than just a 40-duster; got a warrior epic.[DOUBLEPOST=1488407635,1488407574][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh really? I thought Un'Goro would be among those with side adventure-ish stuff, especially since it looks like Elise Starseeker and those kids would be adventuring into the crater.

I bought a pack. I got a Legendary.

I should not have to say I've dusted every Millhouse Manastorm I've received because it implies I've ever had more than one, but I do have to say that because that's what fucking happened.

It's seldom enough one gets a legendary unless you're @Dream Goddess but to see that orange glow, get all excited, hear "Legendary!", only for it to be a goddamn Millhouse Manastorm. That's some cold shit, Blizz.
