So I have normal copies of all the 'Hall of Fame' cards.
Is it worth crafting all gold versions of them?
Austin Young
Should I continue playing paladin or use some other hero? Also, can someone teach me how to dust and craft some good decks? I am a new playing and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Luis Gray
>5 games >3 hunters >2 tempo mages >5 wins rank 17 is an amazing place
Isaiah Clark
If you only have a few cards don't bother dusting them and start hoarding gold for the next expansion in about a month or so.
Just play whatever class you like, but in my experience Druid and Mage are the easiest for new players.
Thomas Morales
It depends on a few things.
1. Do you personally attach any value to golden versions of the cards? If so, then the answer is probably yes for those cards.
2. Do you have enough expendable dust / safe duplicates? If so, then yes, the golden versions only give you more options with no downsides because you get an extra playable copy, allowing you to dust the non-golden one.
3. If dust is tight you need to evaluate each choice.
Josiah Barnes
Do arenas until the next expansion comes out. After the next expansion comes out, and current cards rotate, see what the meta dictates you craft. Craft the cheapest tier 1 deck and play it.
That's if you want to win.
Logan Robinson
A month is far too short of a timespan to start hoarding gold for the next expansion. Three months ahead of time is the absolute minimum for getting the start of a meaningful gold-buffer.
The goal of a gold-buffer is to: 1. Stay up-to-date with the new meta without spending any/a lot of money 2. Allow you to enjoy the unstable meta with new cards 3. Allow you to stop purchasing packs after 1-2 months into the new set and craft the remaining top-tier legendaries without a chance of pulling them as duplicates.
This way you get all the benefits of your packs and crafts without catching up to the meta when there is only 4 weeks of the set left.
Jackson Jackson
Yesterday the NA version met the minimal sign-ups and EU was halfway there (4/8).
We can easily get enough people for the EU tournament.
Adrian Smith
>A month is far too short of a timespan to start hoarding gold for the next expansion. True, but why waste gold on packs now when half the cards in play will rotate out?
Arena's a good idea, but otherwise what would you spend your gold on: Karazan? Old Gods?
Chances are whatever the new set brings will be better than what we have now.
Blake Johnson
Ah I forgot that the person in question is in the 'catch-up' phase. Yeah that makes things a lot harder. Ideally a maximum of 30-40 packs should be bought per set to get the common/rare and at least 1 legendary value. And save up the remaining half of the f2p gold for the sets of the year afterwards (assuming classic is decently filled, otherwise spend it on that).
Luis Watson
Is classic still worth spending on? Recent developments have made me question that.
Parker Carter
It certainly is. I believe in general 70-80% or more of each deck are classic cards. Currently there are 3 old god cards in the tier 1 meta.
And even if they are rotated to the rewards set you can be assured you are compensated. But it still is a hard decision as a catch-up player. Because the classic pool is very large, so it's hard to get specifics.
Michael Scott
The only decks I truly had fun with in this game are Egg Druid and Zoo Warlock.
Are either of those viable or even playable in standard? I'm thinking of just dropping 1200-1400 dust or something to craft cards like Echoing Ooze so I can play Egg Druid in wild or something. Is there any kind of workable Zoolock in standard?
Charles Hill
Just starting playing again havent played since C'thun, when from 25 to 17 in a few games in a win streak with my zoolock, then suddenly I start getting raped by pirate rogues and mages. Any advice? time for a new deck for climbing? thx lads
Joshua Peterson
Everybody's been using aggro pirates to climb. Aggro Shaman or Aggro Warrior can both be crafted on a budget, but they're getting nerfed next patch at the end of February.
Cooper Flores
Reposting from last bread: Let's discuss good bans for a healthy and interesting tournament.
I hate to ban Reno but he would otherwise make up most of the decks. Other decks I want to see crippled: >Dragon priest Draconid Op? >Pirate ________ STB? >Jade Aya? Jade idol? This one is tough >Shaman TFB? Trogg? Maelstrom? Hex?
Owen Hill
Eggdruid is a fine deck which can surprise both pirates and renos on ladder, winning as soon as turn 4 if stars align. Don't know how well it'll do when shamans take over at the end of the month tough
Thomas Perez
Zoo was pretty much dead, with the soul fire nerf and now PO removed it's completely unplayable. Shaman does the same thing but way better than Zoo.
Chase Diaz
>Team 5 throwing people bones with """free""" dust >every mouth-breather acts like this year is gonna change the meta for the better again because it happened so often in the last 2 years
You can spend the money on CB to have a good fap based on your preferances and still get more for your money than supporting this game.
Chase Sanders
So what are you planning to allow, after banning the whole meta?
Juan Jenkins
don't ban anything retard
Christian Phillips
I #believe Current numbers are 10 NA, 6 EU.
>Win CA$H Actually true, you win 25 USD in Blizzbucks if you're the champ.
Lucas Nguyen
You would be surprise what can happen when seemingly e v e r y t h i n g has been banned.
I would prefer it if Freeze Mage didn't win an /hsg/ tourney ever again.
Bentley Sanchez
What we should do is ban the cards that hit the most meta decks, not just class cards.
Colton Rodriguez
why isn't reno on that list nigger? you want everyone to bring 5 reno decks?
Wyatt Hall
Retard here I have 2 ragnaros and 0 Sylvanas and 5 azure drakes, do I
1. Undust my 2 ragnaros and make a golden one 2. Make a golden Sylvanas
3. Dust my 5 drakes and craft 2 golden ones?
Aiden Wilson
what would stop zoo from winning everything?
Christopher Morris
didn't aggro freeze mage beat one tourney ages ago?
Carson Jackson
This was last-tournament's card banlist. Surprisingly not everyone brought a reno deck for one reason or another.
Klandri won the only EU tourney I ever hosted with three aggro decks, so it's entirely possible. He's on a whole other level desu.
Wyatt Gomez
make gold versions of every card
do or do not dust the non goldens, it doesnt matter
it depends entirely on the dust you have available
you get full dust value for the best version of each card, and only for 2 versions of non legends and 1 version of sylc and rag
Logan Morgan
hey tourneyman so EU tournament goes 23:00 GMT-approximately how many hours onwards from that usually?
i have to wagekek during the day on sunday 26 and want a vague idea of how much snooze i can get before i sign up
Michael Campbell

Asher Barnes
Now that was fun. And that was his third Kazakus. And my second Paletress, which I converted from one he stole from me from a Secret Agent created through a Netherspite Historian
Jose Cooper
Oh shit, the OP image's got times for NA.
Because Europe is ~5hours ahead of NA, I will be starting the stream at 2pm EST, or 19:00 GMT (I think that's right). It should take roughly four hours every day if only 8 people sign up.
I should probably mention that if tons of people sign up, I will ask them to complete certain rounds simultaneously without me streaming, as going through each match individually is a fucking chore and is a huge drain by hour 8.
Gabriel Scott
Yeah, this isn't going to fix anything. Getting an effective free legendary or two (if you already have the dust to craft them) is good obviously, but it's a ONE TIME THING. They're doing it ONCE EVER. It solves nothing.
If they did something like this every month, just gave everybody a free legendary in dust at the 30th, now that might actually solve some of the game's severe problems. But only some of them.
Caleb Phillips
I blame the Captcha taking so long.
Joshua Martin
i'm looking for the priest on a shopping spree gif.
Dominic Young
Only craft golden legendary cards if you are interested in having them as gold, because if you are doing it just for dust value it's not worth.
1 normal Ragnaros = +1600 dust (free bonus) or 1 crafted golden Ragnaros = -3200 (cost to craft) + 3200 (free bonus) + 1600 (dust golden copy) = +1600 net
Chase Nguyen
grand, thanks for the info laddo
Nathan Johnson
Will edit the op for the next one. Could you post any other aditional information like the ban list so I can include them?
I wanted to ask you about the times before so good to know.
Alexander Morgan
C'thun is still good! >X(((((
Camden Young
Ban list is private until complete. You can add that Sign-Ups are closed at 11:59pm EST/4:59 GMT on Monday/Tuesday
Isaiah Price
Basically the equivalent of having a nigger-shaped pinata.
Anthony Cook
Yes the entire old gods set is so good that 3/143 cards are in top tier decks. That's why Expansions are better value than adventures. :^)
Sebastian Sanchez
If you don't have a Rag/Syl of any sort at the moment, it's best to craft the golden version, since whatever version you craft, you get it for free, and you get more dust if you change your mind on the card later. It's literally just picking "do I want a free regular Rag/Syl or a free golden Rag/Syl".
If you already have a regular Rag/Syl and have no interest in getting a full golden collection (which at this point is impossible anyway), you don't have to do anything, just collect your free 1600 and don't worry about it.
Dylan Martin
>Eggdruid is a fine deck which can surprise both pirates and renos on ladder, Does it do better in standard or wild? Assuming I were to craft additional cards for it in wild.
Henry Allen
...
Carson Green
>which at this point is impossible anyway
Lmao dream on poorfag. Look how far I got with 3 years of completing all the quests, 1 year of 100 gold/day botting and 200 bucks spent.
I only need 1,663,480 dust to complete the golden collection. At a 100 dust/pack average that's 16635 packs or 278 60 pack bundles at 63 bucks a piece = 17,514 bucks to complete the golden collection. :^)
Asher Robinson

Jaxson Young
Holy shit, that's the first cool OC idea I have seen in a long while.
Blake Morales
You should add another option to that tree
>I dont know what I want to do, but have enough dust to craft all the cards golden
If you have the dust you may as well do it, then you can choose what you want to do at a later date
Daniel Wood
Wow, you're so close! All you have to do is pay hundreds of times more money than anybody should ever spend on a game!
Anthony Russell
I want to lose so I signed for a Tournament and not gonna play any aggro
Nathan Walker
Yeah same here, I'm just gonna slap together something meme. I hope most of the others will feel like doing the same.
Adam Brown
Amazing 10/10

You are retarded

Easton Anderson
>>making it to turn 6 Agreed. These whole Auctioneer, Veiled Illusionist, Animated Armor combos are crazy slow. People know your Life doesn't matter so long as you make sure your opponents hits zero first right?
Elijah Moore
Yeah, that's why mage's so strong. Pyroblast>Pyroblast>Fireball>Fireball on turn 1 isn't exactly a rare occurence.
Leo Wilson
What decks will survive the rotation?
Justin Long
the fuck is up with all the tempo mages? do they actually win against something?
Midrange Shaman and Jade Druid, that's probably it I guess. There's a possibility that handbuff decks will see a revival since they're hinting at it very strongly, but it'll probably turn out to be bullshit like always. Personally I'm hoping
Jackson Ross
Midrange shaman loses a lot including trogg and golem so I don't think it will survive
Adrian James
Jade druid. The end.
Old gods is going to end up being 5 viable cards, mean streets is going to end up being 5 viable cards. Nice investment of 100 bucks per set goy :^)
William Lopez
Add me BestMageEU#2304
Gavin Cox
You fucker, I asked several times today and I'm right now trading with someone from not /hsg/
Ryder Thompson
100% chance to attack the wrong enemy....so it attacks the right enemy every time?
Nolan Perry
So you're saying sets are really good for F2P? Because you can just craft 5 viable cards with dust unless it's like 4 legendaries which as far as I remember none of the viable 5 WotOG cards are.
Angel Lewis
midrange jade shaman doesnt run those cards
Dominic Campbell
If the enemy has an empty board then it always goes face by attacking the pinata. If the enemy has 1 minion therwise it has a 50/50 chance of attacking the other minion or going face if you aim for the pinata.
Seems like an interesting card at least.
Cameron Cook
No I'm saying its terrible for f2p because the sets are only good when they are at set rotation 0.
As an example: Old gods during it's own release (rotation 0) had a ton of its card that were great to play and meta defining.
1 rotation later a couple of those cards are left, 2 sets later basically no old god cards are played anymore.
To keep up with the meta you basically need to invest in every single current set. Then immediately afterwards your investment is down the drain.
