Night Before Old Gods

Thanks to a reddit post pointed out by Kripp I got things ready for tomorrow's Hearthstone release. Boiled down to:

  • Did you pre-purchase the 50-pack bundle of Whispers of the Old Gods? Yes.
  • Have you got your (golden) Old Murk-Eye yet? I do now.
  • Are you done with your GvG set? Not really but oh well.
  • Have to unlocked Naxx? Yes.
  • Do you have an open quest slot? Yes. 

The nerfs that came down were pretty annoying. I was getting comfortable with and enjoying combo druid—*sigh*. Other than druid class cards that got hammered the nerfs all seemed in-line. Knife Juggler is fine doing two damage. Three mana for the Ironbeak Owl is still effective. Losing one attack on Leper Gnome was painful but it's still doing work. 

The only nerf that really annoyed me was to Arcane Golem. Losing a high damage Neutral with charge was fucking lame. Wish I understood more about what Blizzard dislikes in the current meta. 

Oh well. So far the only nerfed cards I dusted were a golden Master of Disguise and an extra copy of Master of Disguise. Will probably kill the Golems. Not something I have to do right away. Currently sitting at 2390 Dust and 4525 Gold.

Currently watching apDrop stream. Thinking I might take his advice. While everyone is dicking around with new decks and concepts you can climb with aggro decks. Not sure it will be that easy since most the play testing shouldn't be done ranked. But I might be able to throw a Tempo Mage or Aggro Shaman together…
