Title: HfI Quests Review!
Tags:
Blog Entry: So, this is my first entry.. please be nice! Everyone is posting about abilities and allies, sometimes pointing either obvious or useless things (So will I, but keep on reading!). I'll go for a quests review, they are a big part of the deckbuilding and the game, and are often selected unwisely (as pointed out by John Tatta in some RC report). Enough with the intro (I hate those when I'm reading because I want to read about cards!!!) [b]LIMITED QUESTS :[/b] [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/return_to_the_aldor.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/return_to_the_scryers.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/tabards_of_the_illidari.jpg[/img] 2 to draw 1 with easy requirements : Great. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/akamas_promise.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/battle_of_the_crimson_watch.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/i_was_a_lot_of_things.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/teron_gorefiend_i_am.jpg[/img] These never miss, always drawing cards : Good. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/against_the_illidari.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/bane_of_the_illidari.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_path_of_conquest.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/what_illidan_wants_illidan_gets.jpg[/img] 2 to draw 1 with "bad" requirements : if you have nothing else why not. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_summoning_chamber.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_deathforge.jpg[/img] Those are cheap but will never be completed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_secret_compromised.jpg[/img][img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_cipher_of_damnation.jpg[/img] These are meant to fill slots! [b]CONSTRUCTED VIABLE QUESTS :[/b] [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/battle_of_the_crimson_watch.jpg[/img] Versatility my fiend, this quest is A Fortune Awaits you, Gahz'ridian, In Dreams, "Draw lots of cards unprinted before quest" : All in one! This is my favourite quest from the HfI set. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_deathforge.jpg[/img] This one is a house in a Mother Misery deck. All we need to know is if it'll be a viable archetype. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_fel_and_the_furious.jpg[/img] This could be a very cheap draw in control decks. The point is : are control decks really in need of "draw 1 for 1"? I don't think so but it has to be tested right? It also is "bad" in mirror - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/minions_of_the_shadow_council.jpg[/img] I hate this one, to me the reward isn't worth the efforts, it's just a pain to set up, and it could well be a "dead" quest. It is at least versus some deck[b]s[/b] I'm testing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_lexicon_demonica.jpg[/img] Someone will find a deck to abuse this one, not me tho ;) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/the_secret_compromised.jpg[/img] Will Stuart Wright make this his new turn 1 in red paladin (replacing "Secret for Everybody")? What's better : knowing what you'll draw, or toying with your opponent's deck? That's your call! (Mine would be to play none of the "Secret" quests) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/teron_gorefiend_i_am.jpg[/img] If Knock Out gets popular why not? (opponents would target the better quests anyway, probably not the good answer) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/akamas_promise.jpg[/img] Weenie deck running those and Orders from Lady Vashj is unlikely to run out of gas... :) [b]Those that I didn't talk about :[/b] [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/skywing.jpg[/img] Don't get the point of this one... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [img]http://www.wowtcgdb.com/images/medium/reclaiming_holy_grounds.jpg[/img] Faesha + that + Haunted Mills combo? don't get the point either! That's it for the quest review... If you disagree or if you think I'm right, let me know =) P.S : I'm french, so please bear with my grammar/syntax. (If you see huge english mistakes, feel free to correct me) ~
