I’m missing half those legendaries so my post was mostly just bitter jealousy. I had the dust to build it a couple weeks ago ironically enough but built pirate warrior instead

a fatguy baldspot posted:i have some news about wild for you Eh, I still honestly think Wild has a healthier meta at the moment, somehow. At least more variety, espscially per-class. I'd say the deck I least enjoy playing against is mech paladin still, just because it's so utterly binary. That and quest mage. And I do admit, I take a special joy in, when it's a highlander-heavy day, firing up a bomb warrior and just ruining dreams.

Olpainless posted:Just so you're all aware, the change to Twin Slice is definitely not a nerf to Twin Slice. I refuse to believe this cause of how often i'd use it as a 'hero power for free this turn' or a backstab, but i guess it is still a strictly better heroic strike and that's a card getting play right now.

There are some crazy decks, but none of them are random or idle about trying to win. Maybe bomb warrior. But most of the stuff I played against over and over were either face rush decks like pirate warrior or demon hunter or like “this is my specific win condition: “I’m going to draw my whole deck and play mechathun in a way you can’t stop me” or “I’m going to rush to complete this quest and then gently caress you.” They are made with winning in one way in mind, as opposed to my deck which is like “well eventually I might play enough cool poo poo to do enough damage to win if I can not die for a while” Here are the most common types of decks I faced: Odd DH Pirate Warrior Secret Mage Quest Mage Mechathun Warlock Discard Warlock Machine gun priest Elysium fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Jun 19, 2020 |

Exactly. And with Demon Hunter getting easy weapon-based lifesteal and clear, that extra damage can mean a lot. Altruis, Glaivebound - yeah, they're worse because of this. Demon hunter as a whole? I'm not convinced it's in any worse place at all, just... different.

That deck provides a big stumble for anything not capable of OTK.

I'd add the battlefiend and satyr to that list, and the turn 5 warglaives play also becomes less powerful. twin slice enabled so much just for ensuring you never missed out on attacking on a turn you needed to, and made the turns where you're hero powering primarily for other cards more valuable. The nerf is going to slow down DH a whole bunch, might force it to play control more. Indirect buff to blade dance though

That deck provides a big stumble for anything not capable of OTK. Actually I did face a fair amount of those, and my deck is decent against it. Reno removes all minions without triggering deathrattles. Either yoggs can clear the board. You can get 2 or even 3 Zephrys board clears or Kazakus “turn all minions to sheep”. I beat a few that rezzed all their demons like 4 times. I didn’t see as many as I got closer to legend as people seemed to go for the more directly win fast warlock decks. Similar decks I also faced were Rez priest and a shaman deck that puts out a bunch of copies of huge minions. With good Polys or Kazakus/Zeph/Reno you can neutralize all their threats.

It also gives Odd DH some extra reach in Wild, either for lethal or to remove something and patch yourself up with Aldrachi Warblades.

After playing a couple games with the tweak it feels like a very slight nerf to the tempo of the card, but a massive buff to the burst capability.

Back to Highlander Mage for the rest of the month I guess! I got all the way up to Diamond 2 stars yesterday. Then fell back down to Diamond 1 star after the Twin Slice nerf. Wasn't mad about it because I was just having fun loving around during a slow time at work. But the game sure can be cruel.

Elysium posted:LOL I actually loving did it, I rode Yogg to Legend. In my third game with this deck I managed to get off 3 Puzzle Boxes in a single turn when the first one summoned a copy of Vargoth. Still lost though, in part because my sweet Brann/Alexstrasa combo failed because I forgot I had shuffled three Solarian Primes into my deck. A+++, superfun.

As DH if they have something to counter my early board presence chances are I am not going to win. That 10 or so damage makes an absurd difference once the mid game reaches around and I am trying to lethal you. Mulligan hard against me and don't even try to be greedy about it.

Starting with a Murloc token with Eudora leading to Turn 4 discover a 4-star is the nut good. If you haven't tried it yet, it is: Turn 1: Buy and play token generator, sell token, dig Turn 2: Buy and play ideally token generator (or buy and hold Deck Swabbie), dig Turn 3: Upgrade Tavern, (play Swabbie), roll for fun, dig Turn 4: Upgrade Tavern, sell token if needed, dig

Normally I feel dumb if I forget to play the week's Brawl until Saturday morning but it doesn't matter this weeks since it was just random AoO decks. I remain very confused by their tendency to launch the brawl spotlighting a new expansion weeks after the set actually gets released. Wouldn't you think they'd put this brawl like the week before the expansion dropped?

did a couple of runs against Plague Lords this morning and it's amazing how much more fun they were than the Ashes single-player content like when the bosses do some ridiculous OP poo poo you can pull out your own ridiculous OP poo poo to counter them, rather than just resetting the encounter and hoping they don't do the same next time

The first time I thought it was accidental but now it must be strategic. Maybe this is where they get the less hardcore crowd to throw down some $$ or otherwise see some uplift in spending.
