    Yeah, been running Reno Dragon Priest lately. It's pretty fun, but the Pirate Warrior matchup in particular seems pretty bad. I did tech in Holy Smite, Blackrock Technician and Spellbreaker to make the match more bearable. Spellbreaker matches up super well with Frothing Berserker, and the their...

    Achievement unlocked? Apparently following up Majordomo with a 10 armor potion is pretty unbeatable. Actually, the exact line was Majordomo -> Deal 6 to all potion (and some other mode) -> Run Majordomo into their guy -> 10 armor potion. I took this screenshot perhaps preemptively, but...

    Have people already made the posts where they include card images of all the cards they are adding to their cubes from this set?

    Yeah, I was just thinking the "right" density is somewhere between 4 and 5 posts, and that if you required a 45 card deck or whatever that you might hit the sweet spot.

    Squadroning Artifact Lands worked pretty well over here.

    What if part of the cost was an increase in minimum deck size?

    I've been tooling around with a slightly suboptimal Reno Priest deck, and wanted to add some spice to it. How awful are these cards? Does Raza make any of them playable?

    I have every legendary for this list except Ragnaros: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/fibonaccis-demon-renolock-january-2017-season-34/ I think I'm going to craft a Ysera though, seems more fun maybe? Not sure, most of the Classic legendaries are kind of... boring.

    I've basically got no Druid cards even worth mentioning. The only paladin build I've seen is that Anyfin / Tyrion build, but it doesn't really appeal to me. My biggest problem right now is that I have enough cards to play specific decks with (Shaman, Renomage), but don't really feel like I...

    I have 2k dust burning a hole in my pocket, and my ranked rewards earned me a golden Twilight Guardian. But my last pack netted me a Krul. So, Reno Priest or Reno Demonlock? For Priest I'd probably craft Ysera, and for Reno I guess Ragnaros? Ragnaros doesn't really excite me, but, me. A Reno...

    So you can generate storm count for just UU? You don't even have to counter your own spell?

    Titania / Finks are definitely good in these environments, Titania moreso because most ULD users also run multiple cycles of Fetchlands. I quite liked Expedition Map with ULD, even though it wasn't strictly necessary as a design inclusion. There was a brief phase where I changed things...

    That's fine. By the way, I like your nice Flemish name. :)

    What's the goal of Far Sight in that deck? Setting up big turns? Just curious, as the card is in Standard and I haven't really seen it in any list. I have copies of it and Finders Keepers, but not sure if they're worth keeping.

    Congrats Saf! Can I ask about a line Saf? In Game 2 you didn't play the Ancestral Knowledge you drew off of Far Sight immediately. Do you think that was correct? To me it seemed like you got choked on mana because of that, and it made future turns a little awkward.

    So, after going 12-2 in my second run, I've been on a dry-spell as far as 12-winners go. I think it's a combination of a couple factors. Firstly, as Onderzeeboot pointed out, new players get slightly easier matchmaking in Arena. Secondly, I played right when MSoG was released. According to...

    I suspect interest in Wild will go up once people have half of their standard collection rotate out. Renos gotta Reno.
