best beast board so far, my spawn were 150/175

Been awhile since I've had a pure naga board win

tried 1 game today.


i was hoping to run with demons, but it just wasn't working out that way and i had to switch up to murlocs on round 5. which really killed my start obviously.

my thought's with the 1 run:
i didn't notice the t5 demon that absorbs minions from tavern when you play a demon, but.. the main starter/midway cards are still there, and end-game options have opened up further. demons are going to be solid this season.

murlocs seem to work. i came in first after a late start, but they just aren't as fun to play any more. the initial mystery of cards being new will quickly fade, and murlocs no longer play from the hand. it was the whole unique experience of playing murlocs. pretty sad about that. it's basically just demons with lower stats, and added bonuses to make up for said lower stats.

quillboar... i'm not too sure yet what to say. they still appear to be rather solid. however, the quillboar battlecry minions now play even better with other minion types.
with my 1 play. they almost seem like they can be considered a secondary minion type, kind of like how elementals aim to be.

little off-note, the numbers coming from season 8 are hard to look at. almost every demon hand from season 8 was 2k att/hp+, quillboar/murlocs/naga also able to reach those numbers somewhat consistently.

this number won't change this season.

played a few games with demons. will take me a while to get used to the playstyle. demons have become heavily focused around tavern spells.
it's a huge downgrade from season 8, but the opportunity to hit high numbers is still there. though those opportunities are much scarcer than season 8.
honestly i think murlocs will out-perform demons generally. you can hit decent numbers and murlocs have multiple bonuses. i.e. divine shield/venomous

either way, demons are still fun to play. though they are more technical than they were prior, with less reward.
demons were, imo, too op in season 8. so this was kind of needed.

you are still largely reliant on getting a Soul Rewinder minion though. i did more dmg to my hero than any player did just by throwing demons down without 1.

I agree, I can see murlocs out scaling. Plus all the keywords on murlocs now are insane. I do miss the old battle cry murloc build with swolefin though. Anymore it feels like your scaling on murlocs dies until you get to t6 for murkeye

New hero guy isnt bad:

that's the tavern spell one yeah? I'm yet to give him a go

beasts are too op.

hint. toss the minion that 'gains health after a minion summons' mid-game.
it's a trap minion that i see a lot of ppl using at end-game still.
focus the deathrattles. 200+ dmg spider summons.

Yeah you're supposed to use the snapjaw for early game for survivability and once you start getting other scaling pieces dump it


Baron is also a trap

anyone see that t7 Murloc yet? holy geez is that a power card.
i can't even imagine the numbers we would have reached if it was in season 8.
