orangelex44 posted:It's dumb, but not overbearing and many of the crucial pieces are rotating in a couple months. I think it stays. It doesn't matter if the deck overall is overbearing (even though being on the cusp of Tier 0 I'd argue it is), but they've already set recent precidents on when a specific card (Imprisoned Scrap Imp), or the playstyle itself (Turtle Mage), is overbearing that it gets the nerf. Cheese Paladin fits the first definition for sure. Statistically, Alura Turn 4 into Tip the Scales is way worse than Imprisoned Scrap Imp on 2 was. The playstyle of having only early game + late game, and no midrange stuff is annoying but fine. However, the consistency of getting that ramp mana is startling in this deck, making Druids blush with envy. I'm pretty sure this is not what they wanted, and this aspect of the deck will be nerfed as well.

Glutes Are Great posted:I'm curious, how do you guys ladder the best? Do you just try out one deck and go ahead, stick to it for many games no matter the success, do you build your own stuff and see how it goes or do you swap around to whatever is currently listed as best? I generally have about 3 or 4 decks I enjoy playing and switch around depending on my mood, and I'm more likely to experiment when I'm at the 10 and 5 rank floors and tend to play what's strongest when I'm closer to rank 6 and 1.

World War Mammories posted:ain't played the deck but I assume it's for the discount on the 7-mana weapon for easier corruption plus the usefulness of having a 1/3 on turn 1 I didn't make the deck but yeah I'd agree with this. I don't think the archetype is completely ridiculous by the way, it's definitely beatable. Looking at hsreplay for d4-1 6 of the top 18 builds are varianta of it but there are 7 other archetypes in there, all with a winrate of 57-62%. When the really broken demon hunter and shaman galakrond decks were around and got quickly nerfed they were pushing high 60s.

Making your 5/3 weapon cheaper to cast is a good goal in and of itself, the corrupt effect is just gravy.

Desert Bus posted:Am I going to get a new hero portrait or whatver from the solo poo poo or is it just extra dust? You get a pack of cards that are all from the class that you did the solo adventure for. I also feel like they have a higher legendary chance than usual but I probably just got lucky (2 legendaries from 5 packs). You gotta buy the portrait.

From a thematic perspective, I wanted to have Mask of C'thun in there as well. I've felt Bizzard was good for stalling, and Reno is another possible way to save your hide. It may not be a great deck, but it's what I like. C'thun barely gets played though. I haven't gone for mana biscuits yet, I often haven't felt like I've needed more mana except maybe really early - I suppose biscuits on 2 to let me Apexis blast on 3 would be about the extent of the need. ### C'thun Mage # Class: Mage # Format: Standard # Year of the Phoenix # # 2x (1) Font of Power # 2x (1) Learn Draconic # 2x (1) Magic Trick # 2x (1) Ray of Frost # 1x (2) Evocation # 1x (2) Frostbolt # 2x (2) Incanter's Flow # 2x (3) Arcane Intellect # 1x (3) Flame Ward # 1x (3) Ice Barrier # 1x (3) Rigged Faire Game # 2x (4) Fireball # 1x (4) Polymorph # 2x (4) Ring Toss # 2x (5) Apexis Blast # 2x (6) Blizzard # 2x (7) Mask of C'Thun # 1x (10) C'Thun, the Shattered # 1x (10) The Amazing Reno # AAECAcz6AwhN7QSWBb+kA4y2A8W4A7/gA5HhAwu7AskDqwSfmwP/nQPxrwPBuAOMuQOBvwP73QPr3gMA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone Amoeba102 fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Feb 2, 2021 |

Mana biscuit refreshes so you can't ramp with it. Devolving missiles might be better than polymorph? You whiff sometimes but poly isnt great for tempo. That's a deck where you want to be doing something every turn.

That's a deck where you want to be doing something every turn. Oh right, so biscuits doesn't work well for me unless with evocation. Poly was added for libram denial. Devolving would work too, but I poly does have advantages later when with devolving you trade down one of their big minions for still a big minion.

yeah I run 1 x Devolving mainly for Libram Pally Mana Biscuit I like because a) it's really good if you can get at least one Incanter's Flow down first b) there are so many Mage minions you can get from Font of Power that really combo well with casting a lot of spells in a turn c) it gives me a bit more reach on an Evocation turn (which I generally use either when my hand is basically empty or when I need face damage for lethal) agree on C'Thun not really being a win condition, but the 4 spells are all kinda useful, especially the Maw otherwise I run 1 Ancient Mysteries, usually playing it on 2 hoping to tutor either Flame Ward/Ice Barrier against aggro or Netherwind Portal/Rigged Faire Game against stall, or if I can I'll keep the 0 mana secret in hand for lots of possible combos with FoP minions Deep Freeze is bad in quite a lot of matchups but it shuts down DH and Weapon Rogue hard I did have Power of Creation in for a while but it felt like for every time I got lethal with Reckless Rocketeer or hand refill with the spellburst Dragon there were many more times where the best pick was like a vanilla 5/6

I used to do my dailies/laddering exclusively as Highlander Mage (control Rogue/Mage is my favourite archetype) but lately I've diversified into Pure/Duel Paladin, Secret/Whirlkick Rogue, and OTK Mage. I still check in on Highlander Mage though, and it looks like this is currently the top legend variant.

Well, I happened to notice I was only 3 legendaries off of a complete set of Darkmoon so I decided to get that last bundle... 5 packs in got the last legendary required, a few legendary duplicates (golden Ivory, regular Ey'sor when I already have golden) so that's a potential extra 3.2k dust ready to go in the 5k ish already around... and it means that for the first time ever, Darkmoon packs provide 100% guaranteed dust! Kazakus is whispering to me. Mr Beens posted:God I hate the start of ladder reset. First few days and the last few days are the Tryharding season. I tend to save my high diamond/legend push for mid month and just take the early days to quickly get up to D5 floor.
