Ysiel seems kinda meh next to Kael'thas (at least until he finally gets nerfed)

in the next patch they should make it so that if you're playing an aggro deck and you rope t1 you instantly lose

If I play DH but am polite with my emotes, may I pass?

depends

do you rope on t1 before making the extremely difficult decision to use your hero power

Is there any deck in existence that uses Bulwark of Azzinoth?
I feel so sad that it's my first golden legendary draw in like, two expansions and no one ever uses it ever in any deck. :smith:

Dane did a video where he went infinite in Wild with Bulwark, Dead Man's Hand, Upgrade and Wondrous Wand from Zizek's treasure chest

there aren't really any OTK decks about that do massive damage in one hit, plus there's a load of weapon hate around because of DH

well rip Secret Rogue I guess

am I right in thinking that a Rogue playing Cobalt Spellkin cannot generate Praise Galakrond?

I wonder if rogue just makes out like a bandit with these changes. I think statistically the secret package was stronger than the stealth package, but not by much and all of the bad rogue matchups got nerfed.

non-beast Face Hunter is completely untouched

people have been discussing making her undiscoverable but I don't think that's happened yet so your opponent may have just gotten lucky

or Warlocks can get multiple Alex with Expired Merchant

how many 1-drops are there in Wild? because my res priest opponent got the same loving one drop from both my anti-res priest tech cards and I want to know exactly how mad I should be

Julio Cruz

I'm only using him in Wild but I like the certainty of knowing that playing a Rogue secret with 3 mana means I'm guaranteed a Paladin secret to play on top.

I don't even know how people can climb with aggro and not find it soul-crushingly boring, playing basically nothing but DH for the past 6 weeks is just insanity to me

To be fair chump's murloc DH is bonkers and you win or lose games in under 5 minutes.

but like every game is playing the same 5-10 cards every time, you don't get to make interesting decisions or anything

I just don't understand how that's fun for anyone

Julio Cruz
May 19, 2006
I mean yeah I'm sure there's decision making going on at higher levels but 99% of the aggro I see in mid-plat Wild can be summed up as "play minions on curve, go face"

Julio Cruz

when did they add in the ability to get Invoke cards from discovers, cause I just got Devoted Maniac from a Blazing Invocation

also if DQ Alex can't generate herself any more they should stop Mugurgle Prime from being able to generate another Mugurgle

How does Eudora choose the minion to dig? Is it just random?

according to Trump's video on the update it's a random minion from your tier or below

e: so Pirates are pretty good

pulled off a massive power turn with 2x Captain Hoggarr and the minion that gives a Pirate +1/+1 for each Pirate bought this turn and got an easy win

even despite my generally terrible decision-making skills and Kripp-level APM

I'm not good enough to understand how the nerfs will quasi-nerf Warrior, can you explain?

Warrior is really good against DH

so by nerfing DH and reducing the number of people who'll play it they also make Warrior slightly less good overall

the problem every single single-player adventure has is unskippable dialogue

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

Julio Cruz

BGs without paying for the pass are even more P2W bullshit than constructed is

hope you like forever picking between Jaraxxus, Nefarian, Galakrond and Akazamzarak

e: on the other hand on the rare occasions you get a good hero you can usually cruise to a win since losing with all the bad heroes has tanked your MMR

Ugh, as if it wasn't bad enough that the some hero skins are just generally incapable of saying a single nice word, why does blizzard always feel the need to take away my ability to say hi for like 70% of heroes? I know Illidan and Sylvannas and whatnot are just too edgy to say hello, but even Arthas is drunkenly mumbling about lighting some fires now.

Annoy-o-tron is my eternal friend for his voice lines.

the deck I ran into was a Hunter one which wasn't very good except the hero power was give all friendly minions everywhere +1/+1 and you could cast it twice for free

good luck making it to turn 10 against that

and I finally beat the first heroic challenge with Gala Thief Priest, is there a decent reward for doing the rest? because if not I think I'll save the effort and not bother

put it back to 0 mana/1 attack and nerf Altruis so it doesn't hit face any more imo

Most of those cards are free.

Blizz clearly made a conscious decision to release DH sooner to maximise the revenue from new/returning players rather than taking the time to balance it properly

and yeah the basic DH deck is really good but that just means that anyone who wanted to compete with it had to spend to upgrade to the top tier of whatever else they were playing

Rattlegore is good but I think the one that Summons 2 33s every turn is even better

yeah it's disgusting

the end of turn effect is worth like 3.5-4 mana (2/3rds of Greater Arcane Missiles) in the worst-case scenario where both minions attack into enemy minions and die

on an empty board it's a 12/14 which fireballs your opponent's face

anyone else having a problem getting the game to launch on macOS? the Battle.net launcher says "Game is running. An update is available and will be applied when the game closes."

Didn't even know hearthstone had addons. What is this?

it's supposed to calculate what your winning% is based on your board vs your opponent's

I don't know what it's supposed to actually achieve though beyond making clips for Trolden when someone loses a 99% chance to win

Zoo wants to go face though, not trade

honestly seems like it fits better in a control-y DH so you can trade Priestess into a big thing and still keep her alive for the end of turn damage
