    Seconding Ippudo. Best ramen I've ever had, I compare every ramen place to Ippudo and they usually come up short.

    The thing about Dragonlord is that unless you're about to die next turn, he's good to play on turn 10. So many other legendaries you end up waiting for a good time to play them to maximize their value. Being a 12/12 body with a strong deathrattle, you want him out ASAP. I think the closest...

    Spell power does not affect healing spells nor priest hero power heal. Spell power does increase damage if your healing spells turn to damage; that is, Auchenai + Circle of Healing + 1 spell power = 5 damage to all minions, but Auchenai + hero power + 1 spell power = 2 damage.

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    Agreed, it was still a good movie, but I think the main problem with AoU was Ultron himself. Loki was a much better villain in the first Avengers because he was portrayed by a person who's a really good actor. Ultron, while powerful and threatening in what he did, didn't really translate to the...

    The fact that you have to cast the spell on the turn you play Cho'Gall really keeps the effect in line. If you could bank that spell cast, he would probably be overpowered. He'd really become a Dr. 7 for Warlock that you could just throw down on 7 and wait / tap for a spell later on.

    Not every Legendary needs to be competitive, also looking forward to the highlight reels. Speaking of, was just watching this vid from Firebat attempting the Leper Gnome / Raptor OTK. Shit like this is a big reason why I still enjoy Hearthstone -- I may not play very often, but I can always...

    Hearthstone

    If a minion has 6 or more attack, deal 6 damage to it. Doesn't outright kill big minions anymore and still requires you to trade minions into it. I was thinking 'if 7 attack, deal 7 damage', but there are actually a lot of 9/7 minions out there. However, 6 damage is still a lot and might...

    The way I see it is that they're characters and not real people. Sure, a person is multilayered and can be prude or sexy or neither at various times. But Overwatch characters are defined by how they look, their in-game skillset, a limited number of lines, and a paragraph of backstory. I'm sure...

    Hearthstone

    If you play both C'Thun and Y'Shaarj, you pretty much have to play C'Thun first though to make sure you don't lose his battlecry. Ancient Harbinger could give you Y'Shaarj and probably die before pulling out C'Thun. Meaning you'll have wasted your 'Draw Old God' effect.

    Mulch is 3 mana, Recycle (shuffle an enemy minion into your opponent's deck) is 6 mana. Both cards no one uses on a normal basis, I had to look it up to make sure.

    I played Druid with Living Roots, Power of the Wild, Mark of Nature (+4 atk), Mulch (3 mana destroy a minion, give them a random minion. Pretty good chance to give them a dead card), and double combo. No one seemed prepared for early aggro and you can get them to combo range before the big...

    True. I was listening to Dunktrain talk about it on Townhall, and it doesn't seem like there's a good way to go about patching the game given the rate of these esports events.

    Maybe I wasn't clear, but I was comparing a 6/7 vs a 7/6. The 1 hp difference isn't huge when comparing against trading against smaller minions (say 4/5). But 4 mana Fireball to kill a 7/6 is cleaner than 6 mana Fireball + ping to kill a 6/7; yeah, it's a comparison against a single spell, but I...

    6 hp isn't great because of fireball. But 6 vs 7 hp is about the same when trading into smaller minions though.

    I tried this once, and maybe I didn't let it sit long enough or mix it well enough, but the end product (waffles) had a distinct vinegar taste to it. Would not do it again.

    6 mana 2/8 dragon. Closest comparison is Gurubashi Berserker: 5 mana 2/7 gain 3 attack when damaged. It definitely needs to be buffed the turn you play it though to even get remotely threatening. But you could also keep it in hand while you wait for buff cards / mana and play your conditional...

    Hearthstone

    It should still be around in some form. They're losing Dark Cultist and Shrinkmeister, but the first was just a strong early game card and the latter was an early game minion or a combo with Cabal Shadow Priest. Both are probably going to be replaced somehow.

    The other thing is that Pally's are losing Quartermaster (GvG), so it's not like you can super-buff your dudes to 3/3 with Divine Shield over two turns. Still, I suppose giving your dudes divine shield ensures a target for Keeper of Uldaman and Blessing of Kings. I wonder if this thing works...

    Batter isn't hard to make, mix your dry ingredients, your wet ingredients, and then put the two together.

    Don't really care for all the crying and drama on either side. But I agree with the general thought that a sexy pose for Tracer doesn't fit her character, and is fine to leave in for Widowmaker. More from Tigole:Overwatchs Strong Female Heroes and that one Tracer Pose - Overwatch Forums

    Without cards like Implosion, Imp Gang Boss, Haunted Creeper, Muster for Battle, and Dr. Boom, how often are we going to see more than 3-4 minions on the board? I feel like if you're playing Zoo, this card just gives you more incentive to not overextend, much like MC Tech.

    You know, just noticing the wording on that card... if Boom Bots 'may' explode and had a 50/50 chance of doing 1-4 damage, I would be more okay with Dr. Boom. Also, wondering if Dragon Paladin will be more viable with Lightlord. I mean, without Mini Bot and Muster and without seeing any...
