Ah, thanks.

I started a new account for the hero. Got mage up to level 11 so far. One question: Shouldn't I have Cthun in my collection?

I've played against it 3 times the past 2 days, so you are not the only special snowflake. Not sure who popularized it though.

Can't fucking hit 5 to save my life. Harrison Jones was already a good tech card choice in this meta, but now, with this pirate warrior all over, it seems like a necessary inclusion in almost every deck. If I go back to my dragon priest, I'll be putting a Harrison in. Any good tips for...

Grats to you. Hit 8 about 3 days into the season, but have just hovered around 7-10 since then. Better hit up some Shaman or something to get to 5. I don't know why I care so much, but I do. I find I'm much happier when I barely play.

I was thinking a little bit more about Call of the Wild. I think that perhaps its closest comparison is Al'Akir. They are both 8 mana and have a charge and taunt. Al'akir also has windfury and shield, but Call of the Wild has 3 distinct bodies and isn't even legendary. In a vacuum, which do...

Yeah, doesn't make sense. Lost to a Shaman yesterday who did 19 damage from an empty board and a Rogue today who did like 23 (deckhand, coldblood x 2, faceless, dagger) again from an empty board. Now obviously, these combos are deep in the game and my slow deck is giving them the time to draw...

Ladder is getting real repetitive around ranks 7 and 8. I just played 4 shaman in a row and then 1 Zoo.

Yeah, good points. My thought process was, yeah, deny him draw and also that you don't get that many good Brawl opportunities against other Control Warriors. I think the main thing I was missing was that those cards become other resources later after Monkey, so I shouldn't feel like I have to...

I was waiting for him to exhaust his removal and/or monkey up before playing Cthun. Then, I played monkey a couple turns after I played Cthun. I used my last removal on his Cthun. I may have been too liberal with my removal use earlier in the game. I was playing this list: I used...

Can I get a little advice on the Warrior vs. Warrior mirror and the playing of the Golden Monkey? It seems from bits I've gathered here that it is advantageous to play your Monkey second. I assume that is because you know once he plays his Monkey that he has no more removal. On the other...

Quick sector question. I made my first sector and gave it an Industry/Mineral focus. I'd like to disable that now so that its development is more balanced. I can choose a different focus for the sector, but can't seem to just disable the current focus so that there is no focus in the sector...

In my last game (which I just ended... time for start number 4), I was able to swap star charts with 2 neighbors, trade credits for minerals, get permission for civ ships to enter their territory, and set a non-aggression pact with one of them.

Does Carrion Grub seem to earn its spot in the deck? I get that it's a sweet Houndmaster target, but that can't happen very often.

I've sunk way too many hours into Civs 3, 4, and 5. I got burned by pre-ordering Beyond Earth and will not be pre-ordering this. In no rush to be an early adopter.

I have a couple noob questions if anyone feels like sharing. This mostly concerns early game. 1. Do you put mining and research stations on everything you can or just the ones with the bigger yields? Seems like early on, building a station on a +2 energy isn't the best use of resources...

Coldlight plus Innervate was best deck I ran into. They can play 5 coldlights on turn 1.

Downloaded this morning and went in blind. First game very early on, some rebels spawned in my home system (for a quest called The Fellowship I think). The rebel fleet is doing damage to a mining station of mine, so I recruit an admiral for my starter fleet and send them in that direction...

I suck at these uber slow control decks. I need to watch a vid to learn or something. Just lost to a fatigue warrior with that nzoth dragon pally. Was too afraid of execute, so never played out Ysera. Just rotted in my hand. Made some boneheaded plays. These decks just give me more...

I can't get anything going with Nzoth Pally. I'm about 50/50 with it today. Lost to an Nzoth priest who was able to outlast me and an Nzoth pally mirror. He had Elise in his deck and outlasted me with that. Saw almost all control decks today which really surprised me. The previous 2 days...

I had a lot of luck with that Bloodlust Shaman list on Sunday and Monday - went 16-4. Seemed pretty consistent to me.

I agree with Northerner's post above. Unfortunately to me, it appears competitive decks will be very fast or very slow. Everyone has their own preference - I'm ok with the super slow decks, but can't stand fucking aggro. It ruins my enjoyment of the game. Sat down to play some this morning...

Anyone else having connection issues the last like 3 minutes? I can't even connect to the Bliz launcher. It says I'm offline. Fixed I think. Weird.

Pretty aggressive for "mid-range" :P Grats on legend.

Yeah, Nzoth decks are stomping my attempts at Cthun warrior.

Gotta play what your dealt. I opened a Twin Emps and not much else so I am initially experimenting with Cthun decks.

Had good success yesterday with a thrown together Cthun Druid deck. Today getting wrecked trying to make Cthun Warrior work. Can't get a FWA in my starting hand to save my life. Lost all 3 warrior mirrors because they had war axe in starting hand and I did not. With no Death's Bite, getting...

Probably if you plan on playing C'thun.

Fuck you all very much. 133 packs (50 prepurchase, 70 gold, 13 quests) and only 4 fucking legendaries, 2 of which were a dup. Valderen had about same number of packs and double the number of legendaries. TJT had almost a third of the packs and got the same number of legendaries. The salt...

Pre-purchase plus 7k gold = 123 packs. A bit salty - only 4 legends: Volazj, Staghelm, and 2x Twin Emp. RNG unfortunately did not revert to the mean

First 53 packs and 1 legendary - Twin Emp Veklor. Hope that RNG reverts to mean.

I got in on third try. Haven't tried much of anything yet.

I've been hanging on main loading screen twice, then get DC'd. But, yeah, while hanging I can see what people open. Run faster, hamsters!

Got the 50g Warlock quest. Let's see if the nerfed jugglers have much of an impact on Zoo.

What's the status on GvG and Naxx cards atm? Are they in or out?

All I'm seeing is various RenoLocks. Was trying to knock out a warrior quest, but they are kicking my patron ass. Can't think of a good warrior deck that is favored against renolock unless you do some weird combo charge or face deck. Does murloc pally farm renolock? I think I'll give that a try.

Thinking about Ancient of Lore change, it seems a bit severe when compared with a neutral Azure Drake. 5 mana 4/4 draw 1 and +1 spellpower vs. 7 mana 5/5 draw 1 or heal. It costs 2 mana more for an additional 1/1 stats and the option to heal, but no spellpower. I think 6 mana cost would be...

I agree about Blade Flurry. That was first one that I thought was overdone. Rogues are really going to be hurting in the board clear department. What about Hunter's Mark? Did that really need a change? I think Leper Gnome will still see play in face decks. (If face decks are even viable.)

Taho#1438 here.

When I started out, I DE'd many golds that I didn't need or had 2 regular copies of. That extra dust helped get cards that I otherwise could not craft. I don't regret it at all.
