God I love the bullshit miracles I can pull with spell mage. Demon Hunter triggers my Netherwind Portal on his turn 7, I get an Archmage Vargoth. I'm down to 4 life, but he's already played and lost his Altruis. On my turn 8, I cast Power of Creation and choose two Sunwalkers. Vargoth triggers and gets me two Lords of the Arena. He looks at the board for about four seconds and concedes.

Maybe you're not expressing exactly what you mean, but to me this outlook is completely wrongheaded. This would only be the case in a 1v1 environment over a short time span in which both players are near identical skill. Identical skill is also something of a misnomer, because two players who are roughly equally skilled against the world at large might have different odds against one another due to differences in technique/style, but regardless. Poker is not 90% luck and 10% skill at any point, not even in a single hand, because every hand has multifarious decision points at each stage. You control your actions at every stage and adapt to the cards dealt and come up on the flop etcetc. Just as the role of luck is much higher in the short term against a player of similar skill, you should conceive of luck in the same way. Over a longer time span, game dependent, every player's luck balances out. And in fact, it balances it out far more equally than a player can be identical to another in terms of skill. Play the same stakes over and over for a year and your results at the end when tallied up will be almost 100% based on skill, not luck.

Galk priest tip: Sathrovarr is a pretty great tech card for control matchups — especially mirror matches. You can discount it to 8 pretty easily with Fate Weaver and potentially like 6 with generated Fate Weavers. Sathrovarring your Prime for massive board presence or your proto-prime for fatigue protection are both super viable. It’s definitely a dead draw in a lot of matchups, but the deck doesn’t really suffer from it and it bumps your control / fatigue winrate up significantly.

40k dust, looking to get back into this dumb thing. Looks like top tier is warriors right now? Maybe highlander hunter? What’s worth the dust these days? Would it be better to go to wild instead of standard?

Would it be better to go to wild instead of standard? Demon hunter costs basically nothing. Use that to get your rank up, see what decks you're against you like the look of. If you're doing wild, craft Baku and Genn.

Warrior is top tier but requires a ton of skill and practice to play correctly and will punish you if you don’t. Demon Hunter is also top tier and compared to Warrior is pretty simple. Once you get a feel for how to mulligan and what removal to play around you’re 90% of the way there. Hunter, Priest, Warlock, Druid, and Mage are all pretty much jockeying for 3rd place.

Odd DH in Wild is also relatively dirt-cheap while still being pretty viable. Aside from Baku, the core cards are mostly freebies from their Basic set or commons/rares.

Yeah the parrot is disgusting and I love him a lot. Im still trying to figure out the most broken way to use him in the end game, I wound up with parrots and death rattle wolves and hydras and nothing else apart from rivendare last time. E: I had another disgusting game with parrots and hydras, this time on illidan which is insane when it gets going. I just ran up against a final boss with zapp which is the best reason to run golden spawn over wolf I think but he still went down bc his build was some rat pack hyena trash. I think you could probably do a lot of disgusting stuff with other tribes and spawn but I keep hitting wolf/hydra build and it's gross Jezza of OZPOS fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Jun 11, 2020 |

Yeah, that’s a +8/+8 to beasts deathrattle that triggers twice, twice. The combined effect of Baron + Macaw gets pretty out of control as you gild them. If they were all gold it’d be +48/+48.

DH is more like Tier 2 RN. It's good but not the best. It is cheap though. Yestermoment posted:ya buy some minions, they auto-attack randon targets, whoever has minions standing wins the round. For advanced players, buy minions with keywords or tribal tags that synergize with your hero.

VS shows DH as Tier 1 https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/vs-data-reaper-report-165/ HS Replay shows it as Tier 2 but HS Replay isn't always on the mark about this stuff. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qaHp_jLqqGQcS5U5IbievMK9fb-XJ1qgkJVr_yJFoYU/edit If you choose any specific tier, DH is tier 1. And that document also has an explanation of why Murloc Paladin is shown as Tier 1 when in fact it's not even in the tier discussion.

Facing it, it feels like if you can survive the first wave of Glowflies you have a good chance of beating it (I played control to D5) but now that I'm trying other decks I've been playing it myself and boy does it fall over in a heap if you don't draw any ramp. I'm trying the Dragon version from a few pages ago though, not the more token focused one.

Spell Druid has a large number of highrolls possible AND can exploit opponent lowrolls. It’s usually win hard / lose hard kinda deck.

I'm trying the Dragon version from a few pages ago though, not the more token focused one. In the Dragon version the Glowflies are meant as a first wave distraction, preparing for the 2nd and 3rd wave. But builds have been improved since then, adding the 2nd and 3rd wave power while maintaining the Savage Roar/Soul of the Forest highroll. I think given mulligans and all the early card draw, the deck is like ~80% to hit ramp on curve.

Oh yeah, I'm sure I'm playing it badly, I just had a string of games with zero or one ramp card in the first five turns and it's like, I guess I'll just do some removal and wait? I feel like burning through removal to stay afloat is probably fine because of how much draw there is, but when you end up playing your minions on curve it doesn't feel good (which is the whole point of having ramp, I guess). I know I haven't learned how to mulligan yet. Do you keep Innervate? Do you keep Breath if you have no dragon in hand? Do you keep Breath + Dragon if you have both? If you have Breath but don't find a dragon within the first few turns do you just play it for draw?

Kalko posted:I know I haven't learned how to mulligan yet. Do you keep Innervate? Almost never, unless you're a GrandMaster and you know what you're doing. I still can't figure out why that one guy did it. Kalko posted:Do you keep Breath if you have no dragon in hand? Yes. Kalko posted:Do you keep Breath + Dragon if you have both? 1000% Yes. Kalko posted:If you have Breath but don't find a dragon within the first few turns do you just play it for draw? If you can play Fungal Fortunes instead, no. But it's matchup dependent: vs Aggro (DH, Hunter): yes vs slower decks: sometimes yes sometimes no, but plan out your next few turns.

If you have a deck and no clue how to mull with it a decent resource is to look the deck up on hsreplays top decks by class and sort deck by mulligan win percentage, note the cards that have the highest win rates and mull any cards other than those. From the list on there you should be keeping all dragons, breath of dreams, overgrowth and fungal fortunes and mulling everything else.

Ahh finally a new highlander deck I can try! After a confusing and brutal time with highlander demon hunter I thought I had to go back to highlander hunter or mage to fuel my weird fetish for decks that cost at least 15k dust. Thank you, gonna report back how it works for me.

Yeah the change in ladder w/ hsreplay free vs premium makes it way less useful. Even if you're not a diamond or legend player. I was hoping they'd update it to at least filter within diamond.

I'm at Diamond 6, 2 stars as Demon Hunter and facing what seems like a never-ending parade of various Warriors. I"m not necessarily having a tough time with the matchup, it just gets boring after awhile fighting the same thing over and over again. Any tips on handling the Risky Skipper Warriors easier? Should I be mulliganing for Skull of Gul'dan? My list is pretty standard except with two Vulpera scroundrels and 1 second sight, and no Crimson Sigil Runners.
