Bonker has windfury, but thats it. You dont even play that on most quilboar boards.

The huge reliance on Dark Gifts make Quilboar a really inconsistent tribe. No Divine shields, no natural taunt, no decent deathrattles to use with new Macaw etc.

Are they just a Dark Gift/Trinket tribe?

I wanted to sell the fire baller to get the triple Moat Custodian but as soon as I played it I couldn't sell it because the text "Minion cannot attack the turn they are played" showed up on screen everytime I clicked on it

But you need to be holdin gold.

People have talked about the balance this season, which I think is a bit worse than previous seasons. Yes, there are always going to be some weird and non effective minions (demons tier 6 that casts shiny ring), but those are generally outliers.

This season though, most tribes live or die by getting one or two key pieces and builds:

• Mechs
  • You find the tier 5 that scales when you play a mech, or you lose
• Demons
  • You find the tier 5 that scales the tavern on self cast, or you lose
• Pirates
  • You find the tier 5 that generates lockboxes, AND with the tier 6 that gives stats on discover, or you lose
• Naga
  • You find tier 6 Fauna that casts at end of turn, or you lose
• Beasts
  • You find Lobster early, or you lose
• Quillboar
  • You find the Choose One play a blood gem tier 6, and you still lose
• Dragons
  • You find the tier 6 that casts a spell on attack, and you still lose

Murlocs, Undead, and Elementals actually have a few builds, though to varying effectiveness.

• Murlocs
  • Scam
  • End of turn Mrgglton
  • Hand buffs (not great, but still a build)
• Undead
  • Infinite tokens
  • Scaling spells and butchering
  • Eternal knight
• Elementals
  • Feels like you can just fall ass backwards into a top 4 elementals build lol

Too many tribes are just not balanced well. We need a bit more effective direction with them. What are demons supposed to do to get first place if they dont find the tier 5? How are Mechs supposed to without the tier 5 that scales?

It just makes the game feel bad knowing that if you dont get the one or two pieces you need, you will lose. Maybe you get points, but you will not get first.

And yes, there are cross tribe builds. Yes, there are unique synergies that you can dynamically create on the fly based on your hero, trinkets, board, etc...but the tribes need better balance lol. Its not great right now.

I already considered Lens Case to be a silly trinket after that time warp, but Funeral Wreath? That was something else.

I actually had to afk for a turn because my hand was full and i didn't wanna break it, even though i prolly could've done it considering i still had multiple golden Timewarped Embalmer in hand still.

Hey all, whenever I try to get a friend into BGs, I notice there's actually not much info out there that explains the absolute basics (like how to find the mode in the HS client and what the buttons in the interface do).

I don't imagine this video would be helpful for people on this subreddit, but maybe it could help with getting a friend on board. :)

Got it all. Scam for big bodies and undead/beast protection with tokens

Didnt have time to protect against blaster but opponent didnt have it.

Have reddit to thank for this one. The elemental has the dark gift of deathrattle summon a golem equal to stats. Managed to triple golem once only once. Hopefully can get to the millions next time!

Dark Gift Nomi with All minion types. I played a ton of elementals that make elementals give more stats. Nomi still gave only +4/+4

This is technically my 2nd account but I dont think I've done a spicy on that account before I lost access to that email.

6.5k mmr

Hit early brann and the djinn had end of turn battlecry from dark gift.

Power leveled to 5 and changed hero power to clocksworth got golden enforcer djinn and brann

Buff by the end of the game was abt 400 400 wirh no ele scaling ( game ended very fast)

Cyclone and rat was for anti scam

I kept cycling the T4 rally-proccing dragon on a golden t4 choose one generator and also cycling the t6 gem barrage quill for huge shops. Great use of the spellpower from ring with tons of gems played.

I’ve played BG’s for a while now. Never really good, mostly fine, usually end up between 7-7.5k. But there are so many issues that have been compounding for a while that is making the game really really frustrating at the moment.

1. User Experience - The dancing minions, the poor play on mobile, the disconnects, just the bloat of animations in general. It’s just all way too much. The client can barely handle the amount of shit slop animations that we are forced to watch. I shouldn’t have to have a top level pc in order to play this cartoony ass game effectively because it is so poorly optimized. Its just stupid

2. Power Creep - Now, I don’t believe that there’s necessarily a large issue with increasing numbers across the board in terms of damage. Its the natural progression of online games and keeping things fresh to have some power creep. What I DO BELIEVE however, is that in doing so you introduce a very fine line of balance into the game that requires a lot of careful and intentional care, and I wholeheartedly believe that this isn’t happening. There’s way too often a meta where there’s one or two obvious things to highroll into, and nearly half the playable tribes in the game are beyond terrible and/or have no chance of winning a lobby outright. Its just not a healthy experience for players right now imo. Maybe im alone on that, but with how much bullshit can happen in a given game at the moment, there are FAR too many non-games at the moment.

Love to hear what the community thinks, but I think i might take a break for a bit until the game gets restructured in some way with a major patch.

I was facing someone with an elemental with 12k health. This season is nuts.

Guess what happend turn 9. Hit a high roll on morchie

My teammate pinged my utility drone several times, and I did not send it bc we kinda went for the same build. He then sold all his minions and left me with the 3 other teams round 9.

Luckily, I managed to win with a mid build! Feels so good!

Had some board space to scale up taven spells, but had to sell for the meme

Anyone know how to fix?

Didn’t think I’d get first place with one of the new heroes this season. This was a fun menagerie. Didn’t think I could pull it off on mobile. Probably should’ve gotten rid of the investigator at some point.
