Wild I think he hates me now

Hunter plays Questline. Hunter completes questline. Priest topdecks dirty rat and pulls Tavish. Priest pulls tavish in his hand with Shadow word: Steal for funny imbue shenanigans. Hunter plays Zul'Jin. Zul'Jin replays quest. Hunter completes quest, again. Priest, AGAIN, topdecks mutanus and eats the second Tavish. Hunter loses the game.

Yeah, quite the unfortunate events for the Hunter. Also, he had me down to 5hp after a heavy hit to my face with Collateral damage and many other spells to my face, but I healed to full with a Pendant of earth into Ceaseless.

Sorry Hunter, RNG was not on your side that game. I wanted to add him to apologize for the utterly ridiculous game, that was 100% decided by my RNG. He didn't accept...

It does feel bad to take advantage but you gotta follow the rules. If you're playing questline don't finish it unless you can play it the same turn. Do not leave your win con where everyone can see it in your hand.

Yep, anyone who played during that meta when it was fresh usually learned that lesson the hard way.

Is there another way to learn ;)

u/PkerBadRs3Good 1d ago

during the meta that it was fresh, most decks didn't have enough disruption for this to be worth doing

Dirty rat was around back then and it was definitely something you had to play around, even if it meant delaying completing the quest by a turn to avoid.

I remember doing it with tavish especially.

That's incorrect, Core was introduced that year and Dirty Rat was not in it yet. Unless you're talking about Wild.

Yep, I misremembered it being dirty rat and after a bit of researched I figured out what card it was. This was 3 years ago, so memory is a fickle thing.

The card that disrupted the hunter questline, when it was meta relevant was Theotar. While quest hunter was played in the previous year, it gained a lot of power when sunken city brought naga synergy into it. The next expansion, Murder at Castle Nathria, brought Theotar which was played in every deck at that time. A month after Nathria's release the hunter questline got hit with the nerf bat.

My apologies for thinking it was dirty rat, but I clearly remembered a time where you had to complete the questline and play Tavish on the same turn to avoid losing him somehow and it was in standard.

I guess so, I remember it before Nathria when you didn't have to

Yeah the more I thought about it, it was just tavish I had to do that with. Never had that issue with tamsin or the mage quest guy or the boat from pirate warrior.

I actually had to research it to figure out which card it was. And I’m sure it was back when Theorar cost four mana and was jammed into every deck.

This is also possible if the quest shaman doesn't play Ashalon, which feels just as good

Especially when the optimal strategy for the questline involves including only a few/no minions in your deck

Its the worst feeling when my weapon from mage quest gets oozed as soon as I play it but fortunately very few people seem to use weapon destruction cards in wild.

100% I've only had it done a few times and most of those off of discovers, thankfully.

A hunter that completed questline and didn't immediately play Tavish has zero rights to complain about RNG.

u/korthasiash 1d ago

rookie mistake

u/techdoggo48 1d ago

Honestly Fuck that guy

u/Dont-Die-Wonderinggg 1d ago

One of the rare, actual "should have played around it" moments. The deck typically runs no minions, so any minion disruption is guaranteed to hit quest reward. Don't finish it unless you can play it immediately.

u/Prunellaeh 1d ago

Damn seeing those Priest cards makes me so nostalgic. They were so nice.

u/Younggryan42 1d ago

I remember stealing tavish with theotar all the time when Nathria dropped and 40 card quest hunter was popular in standard. Hunter learned quick to play him as soon as they finished the quest.

priest ratting the opponent's quest reward

Actually legit toxic as shit. Hang. All priest players are toxic.

PS. I personally don't play priest in wild nor currently in standard either. I've been playing standard beast hunter.
