Murloc Back to Basics Guide How to Win Hearthstone Battlegrounds *Trinket Meta*

[@Heretic721]

Patch 30.6.2 Depraved Felfin changed to: New: [Tier 4] Much more playable with the earlier addition Loc Princed changed to New: 2/2. Divine Shield. Whenever this gains stats, add +2/+2 to that amount (wherever this is). MUCH better a VERY good minion now. Patch 30.6 Added Fungalmancer Sticker 2 Gold Lesser Trinket "After you sell 5 minions, get a random Murloc." Seems really good if you have any kind of cycle based hero power, and offers decent potential long-term with murlocs. Added Primalfin Portrait 3 Gold Greater Trinket : Get a 'Primalfin Lookout'. After you discover a minion, get a random Tavern Spell. Has some real potential looking forward to playing this! Added Parched Wanderer Tier 2, Murloc 2/2 Battlecry: Give a Murloc +2/+3 and Taunt. A very good early game minion if you have any murloc to buff on the board! Removed Coldlight Seer from the game. Patch 30.4.3 Changes Twin Sky Lantern the Greater REMOVED, and Twin Sky Lantern the Lesser is changed to the greater version. This is a big change reducing the value of the Trinket dramatically. Nerglish Phrasebook Lesser Old: After you play a minion, give the left-most minion in your hand +3/+3. New: After you play a minion, give the left-most minion in your hand +3/+2. On the boards you want this you still want this. Belcher Portrait Lesser Old: [5 Gold] Get an ‘Operatic Belcher’. Whenever a friendly minion loses Venomous, it gains +5/+5 permanently. New: [3 Gold] Get an ‘Operatic Belcher.’ Whenever a friendly minion loses Venomous, it gains +3/+3 permanently. Still good. Nerglish Phrasebook Greater Old: [4 Gold] After you play a minion, give the left-most minion in your hand +6/+6. New: [3 Gold] After you play a minion, give the left-most minion in your hand +5/+5. Still great! Belcher Portrait Greater Old: [4 Gold] Get an ‘Operatic Belcher’. Whenever a friendly minion loses Venomous, it gains +15/+15 permanently. New: [3 Gold] Get an ‘Operatic Belcher’. Whenever a friendly minion loses Venomous, it gains +12/+12 permanently. Still very good Saltscale Honcho Old: 3/2 New: 3/3 Murcules Old: 5/2 New: 5/3 ‘Loc Prince Old: 2/2. Whenever this gains stats, add +2/+2 to that amount (wherever this is). New: 3/2. Whenever this gains stats, add +3/+2 to that amount (wherever this is). Mrglin’ Burglar Old: 6/6. After you play a Murloc, give a friendly minion and a minion in your hand +6/+6. New: 8/8. After you play a Murloc, give a friendly minion and a minion in your hand +4/+4.

Sorry about the delay on this video I was pretty sick this week, and had recorded/edited some of it. Well, when I returned and felt better I didn't make ANY sense. I was all over the place, and clearly ill. So 90% of that was deleted and redone. Hopefully, none of the sick Heretic survived the purging!

[@robtravis6977]

Thanks brother

[@drinko9778]

I’ve climbed from low 2000s to the mid 3000s thanks to some of these guides The best thing about them is the mindset you promote, it’s so much better to spend your turn actually doing something and guaranteeing a spot in the top 4 than it is to wash out at 6th or 7th place because you spent your turn refreshing for a triple or another specific minion

[@Heretic721]

Sometimes it is hard to do that. You have all the pieces of a build, and all you need is ONE more piece! I know the temptation to roll well, and glad it is coming through that is something you do not want to do!

[@saltyaf263]

Your basics guides are so helpful as a new player love to see you’re back with the new meta!

[@danielshamlian2800]

Hope you're recovering well! Thanks for this. I enjoy the long form--and the board examples

[@Chasen047]

Boosting the algo!

[@Sephy222]

Amazing man!!! Love you guides

[@Someone-yc6ig]

Hi, love your guides!! Will you cover the other tribes aswell?

[@Heretic721]

Yup I am working on one right now. Usually takes 3-4 days barring patches, and RL issues!

[@Someone-yc6ig]

@@Heretic721 fantastic. Thank you ❤️

[@yomaam12345]

Thanks again for these guides. I would love to watch your Twitch streams, but I dont see a schedule. How often do you stream?

[@Heretic721]

It’s on the bottom on the Twitch page the schedule, but Friday to Tuesday 6pm est to 10pm est! I do not miss many streams.

[@jaydiid1]

These videos have been super helpful thank you!

[@Sephy222]

Love it!!!

[@Sephy222]

Another thing friend, did you made a guide on how the leveling curves are affected by the trinkets?

[@Heretic721]

No I have not, and I am not sure I will have time before the season end since well.. that is in about 30 days :)

[@Sephy222]

@@Heretic721 Great, thanks for the great work!

[@lordofyggdrasil9633]

you sound just like the radio host of the Rock station in Watchdogs 2

[@kungrajinn]

I think loc prince works better than bream when you have lesser phrasebook and can gain stats more multiple times with additional brann later on than having bream stucks to only murloc procs. However, once you got 2 bream then it's probably out scale easily, even then you can just play prince to board anyway. So, I think loc prince is also strongly viable and you do not require bass + bream all the time.

[@Heretic721]

I tend to agree it is much better then I tend to give it credit for, and I under value loc more often then I should. He always seems to show up at awkward times for me.

[@aerifarius2390]

Moria?

[@Sephy222]

Can you inform the direction minios?

[@Heretic721]

I often mention what makes me want to do a build, but typically it is scaling minions. Something like a you go to tier 4, and Bassgil, and Bream counter are direction. Primalfin/Brann while amazing is not direction, but what if you are playing Shudderwok? Now it is. Direction to me is almost always scaling. High tempo is great early, but big stats with no growth on turn 10 is still a loss if you find no scaling even with full health/armor.

[@Sephy222]

@@Heretic721 thank you! But I remember in some old videos, you would comment something like: you should look for those minions if you wanna go this tribe, or you say, if you find this minion, defenetely you should consider going on this tribe. Thats why I think to emphazize could help

[@Pwnzistor]

You didn't cover Murcules?

[@brettwilliams124]

The Canadian rapper?

[@Heretic721]

/facepalm

[@Heretic721]

I DID/DIDN'T! This so far seems to be the only thing that got accidently cut from my fever dream recording/edit while I was sick. Here is what I would of said. Don't! Sometimes he can be good say if you have a early Dire Muck, or you get luck, and hit a big health buff for him, but 90% of the time you end up holding a minion. That minion gets one buff, and you lose a fight you should not of lost. If you can hit him with a big enough health buff, and if there are a ton of token minions running around he can be good, but rarely!

[@Pwnzistor]

@@Heretic721 I've been using him to buff himself when he gets summoned from hand. Very good when you get the trinket that summons the first minion you summoned multiple times.

[@AllToastersToastToast]

⁠@@PwnzistorI was lucky enough to get that myself the other day. Ended up with a golden Murcules and double greater Twin Sky Lanterns for 5 big Murcules that kept buffing the one in hand. Definitely a highroll, but it’s fun.

[@AzoiatheCobra]

I returned last saturday to hearthstone. What the fuck are battleground? What do you win with it? Are they fun?

[@Heretic721]

Battlegrounds is a auto battler type of game. You play against 7 other games, and are randomly paired against other people where you will deal, or receive damage. You keep going buying minions, spells, and abilities until you, or all your opponents are dead. It is free, and you do not have to have ANY cards to play it as all players have access to all cards in this mode.

Glad you’re feeling better!
