Oh yeah, you basically either win in the first couple of turns or you crash and burn.

The shaman deck is shockingly consistent which lets you kill people on turn 2 way more often than you would think.

Yeah it’s almost better on the draw due to the coin. mulligan for as many of the draw 2s as possible, keep 1 Bloom at most

E: ran into counterfeit coin, evasion and flik skyshiv which is a hilarious counter

I always do Mogu cultists in these limited card decks, this was no exception. Research project, frost nova, mogu cultist. Gets a little dicey near the end since your hand is stuffed and you could run out of freeze, but it's such a fun animation when it goes off.

Counterfeit Coin, Secret Passage, Flik.

Can you reliably cast the Flik in the one turn window though? you'll need to find {Secret passages cast+6} mana From a total of 10 in your deck. Evasion buys you a little time vs the swarms, obviously bad vs Edwin tho.

E: let’s see turn 2 on the play turn 1 on the draw you got 25 cards in your deck so that’s 5 passages and 2 base mana so As long as you get 1 passage in each hand to chain you shoooould be good.

Thanks for the sugegstion. I switched one of the sidequests for another faceless since I feel that the quest is pretty minor and often hard to fit into your turns since you rather want to play tempo. And the corruptor does a ton of work in the deck imo so it just feels wrong to not play two copies. Did it from D3 in a bit over an hour with some matchup luck on the last stretch since I was mainly running into discard/darkglare locks that you can race with a good opener and some board control. Very few secret mages which is good since flak mage is an auto-loss. First final boss was a reno lock that started to BM hard once guldan was down and my % went down to near zero. People that stay silent the whole game and then go hog once it's locked always seem so silly to me but that's HS. Second and last final boss was another renolock that I perfectly sniped with leeroy so the universe is at peace again



First time since I started playing(naxx) so yay I guess. Can't imagine what a soulless grind it must have been under the old ladder system though

I feel like Patches, Embiggen, Mark of the Lotus seems more consistent for this one than Edwin, Coin, Passage but they're all pretty fun. I saw one person trying to play some kind of Warrior and I have no idea what his deck might have been (because something like 90% of games end on turn one).

I used oaken summons, vargoth, and mark of the lotus. Obviously it's a slow deck but chaining out 60+ armor and having a board full of 11/15 vargoths is fun

Funniest 3-card deck I've seen is Counterfeit Coin, Secret Passage, Sinister Strike. Literally instant loss against any class that can heal for 2 at any point in the first 2 turns or kill you. If not, then you win by turn 3.

Also a great way to complete your cast spells quest.

Edit: I suppose you could draw really badly from Secret Passages that you don't win on turn 3. But as long as you get a matchup where you get to play all 10 Sinister Strikes and they don't heal, you win.

Bizarre Brawl Quirks that I've now run into multiple times: Warlocks running Patches, Plague of Flames and Twisted Knowledge which, I guess, is a hard counter to the Patches Embiggen Druid? But... it doesn't seem like it would be any kind of fun to actually try to win a game against anything else.

Likely a combination of:

- There's already a waiting list of good cards that have been cut from the deck
- Scavenger's Ingenuity hitting Phase Stalker or Wolpertinger is just so so much better
- Adding Polkelt gives a more reliable way to find your closers

Wolpertinger for sure but if aggro rogue is the deck to beat right now then I think Scorpids are better to hit than phase stalkers in that matchup. Hitting the scorpid guarantees 7 damage to their face and sets up a kill command, while the phase stalker is vulnerable to all sorts of removal.

Phase Stalkers fetch Explosive Traps out of your deck and Explosive Trap is the best card Hunter has against Stealth Rogue. If you get to play both Explosive Traps back to back you just win the game, the Rogue can’t possibly race you after being forced to take 2 turns off.

You know what to do.

My first game I only got a 26/26 on the board turn 1 which was insufficient to win. My second game I got a 24/24 and 26/26 on the board which could've gotten much bigger if not for the turn timer but it was enough to get me my pack.

I don't know if anyone else has the same thing, but Priest mirrors right now occupy the same space as old Tank Up Control Warrior mirrors where I'd rather uninstall than play them but I absolutely love watching pro players grind them out. I've been working on office stuff all day while listening to casters in the EU grandmasters and SilverName/Seiko was an amazing like 90 minutes of white noise

My personal opinion is the problem is the first 20-25 minutes don't matter but the last 5 cards until fatigue and in fatigue can be actually interesting.
