craft it.. get dust.. d.e the golden boom

My prediction for upcoming meta on ladder -

First hunter and shaman or mage elemental (depending which does it better - I lean toward mage but both have potential) will be everywhere
People will put tar creeper and other antiaggro in their decks destroying hunter quest and pirate rogue.
A more control favoured meta will make jade druid king (this may be the small window that mage quest with double arcanes and Alex has to be viable)
Fast tempo decks will take over. Overstatted minions will be order of the day. Hunter, Shaman, Beast Druid and Mage all have the tools to kill jade with a midrange deck before jade gets too big while still guarding against aggro.
The 5 mana 9/9 neutral will be gross mostly for hunter and druid because of beast synergy.
Priest and Paladin will be almost unseen. Rogue will see play but won't be popular as it can only really support the same water combo deck it's been running for a while. Discard. Lock won't be very good except as aggro adding new legendary. Combo Handlock will be a thing but I don't know if it has the healing available to do well. When it all settles down a midrange version of hunter, possibly with quest but probably without, will be the new cancer. Also tentatively predicting beast Druid to be a largely unexpected deck that does very well.

Agree/Disagree? Am I missing anything?

E/ I should post here more often tbh... I play a lot of Hs at a decent level. Occasional tourneys etc.

I have 1200 gold debating if I should buy packs to get dust to do this or save for ungoro packs

@Scaly I've learned not to try to predict the meta everyone's nearly always wrong.

Though I think Jades will probably be really good

It's a fun exercise. By attempting to predict it you really have to think about the wider pattern of the game. Right or wrong doesn't matter so much. It increases awareness.

Unless you want a golden copy for your collection, there really isn't a point. Just getting 1600 for owning a normal one is the best dust outcome.

Fuck freeze mage.



blizzard hire me

Got legend yday, ready to troll there tomorrow

and before, a brawl summary:

wrong



if you have all non golden version, you dont lose/win anything by crafting golden, getting the dust then decraft it
you gain 10 dust/golden common by crafting them golden, get dust and decraft them (if all goes as we think)

if you're talking about rag, sylv azure and shits

but instead of getting +1600 from just having a regular, it's going to cost you -3200 to craft golden then +3200 for refund.. then disenchanting normal is like +400.. so instead of +1600 youre only getting +400 (but have a golden version).
So yes, if you craft both goldens when already having the regulars you're losing like 2.4k dust (but getting golden versions for 1.2k each)-- instead of getting +3200 dust you're getting 0 (or +800 if you disenchant the normals)
