    BGH will still see play for some classes, depending on how the meta actually shakes out. It's still basically Assassinate that leaves a 4/2 body behind and that's not complete shit. One? Two? Probably one and only in a few decks. Still, a weirdly constrained nerf by Blizzard standards. So...

    I just throw out random friend requests to people in game if my list gets too low. That or accept the rage quit ones after a couple of days so they don't remember why they tried to friend me to begin with.

    Hell, I think I'd prefer if it did it on the board. Not sure why I'd want a random minion over one I put in my deck but I guess there are scenarios.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think expecting a PhD to be a 'scientist' is a little silly but then again, while my bachelor's is a BSci, I wouldn't say that I'm a scientist. I'm sure as fuck more of one than Palin though.

    6/5 Beast for 5 is already great. Pop the DR on any living creature though is extremely powerful and even the threat of that changes how hunters' opponents need to handle Silv, HM and really anything with a decent rattle. I see it more as a finisher for aggro but it'll definitely round out...

    Yeah, Cairne is always a contender really. Not flashy but pretty solid body+1. Tough competition in the mana space has hurt it more than anything else.

    That Rogue card will lead to shenanigans. It (plus Brann/Silv/Ed/Auc/Conceal/SStep etc, etc) could make for some crazy videos at least and I'm thinking it will be a staple in some sort of Rogue deck even. It'll see play.

    Well, discover would be insane of course. As it stands though, I'm not sure I'd play it if the body was a 6/7. Random/random is a *drawback* to the card.

    Well, I'm sure it'll win some games but I certainly don't see a decent deck for Deathwinger at the moment and especially given the current dragons and their reliance on battlecrys. I mean, by turn ten you should be top-decking for the most part anyhow and it is a damned deathrattle at that. So...

    Hearthstone

    Well, it's definitely good value! At four mana it is even fine if it eats a silence, plus it might get buffs from various things due to the 1/1 initial nature. Thistle tea is a weird one but might see some play. Would be some kinda crazy RNG swings based on what it drew of course, unless Scry...

    Hearthstone

    It's a fantastic card! Now, it won't see play unless things are pretty slow but they may well be and this is a hell of a card for a zoohunter styled deck. Get that knockout blow in just before your opponents starts shitting out old gods.

    Might not want taunt though! Presuming BGH is nerfed to hell and back, TBK will quite possibly be seeing some play again.

    I'm not even sure that I'd want TAO out anyhow. Two 9/9s or one 30/30? Not that cut and dried really.

    Grim Dawn

    I am loving this game overall! It's like PoE lite but still just fun once you figure out the slightly esoteric item and skill/devotion system. Plenty of ways to break the game though. Loving three builds at the moment: Pure pets (impressively effective in this game), Arc beam focused...

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, I've never really thought much about the HS mechanic since it does mirror the M:TG functionality. I suppose it is a little odd but only a little to me. Perhaps it is just the implied (to my thinking) effect of overdraw being: "send to graveyard". In HS a card can only go to your...

    Hearthstone

    Ah, gotcha mures. The real issue is that the HS team thought the Graveyard concept was too advanced so while there *is* one, it isn't explicitly referenced for cards like Resurrect or Anyfin or whatever. Cards that are in the stack are 'dead' by HS definition even if they've never been killed...

    Hearthstone

    It isn't killed though, it's just moved to the graveyard (the stack in HS) directly. Overdraw doesn't trigger deathrattles but it also isn't exiled or moved to the opponent's hand or stack.

    Make your own deck brawl again I see. Won a few with Mage but I can see Druid or Priest working too. Mage is pretty hard to beat though with powerful secrets and removal.

    Apparently the next card is a neutral Dragon tribal, 2/8 for 6 that doubles attack each round at the start of your turn. Nightmare Drake/Dragon (The kek crowd are debating the translation). I can see some value here and especially for any class that can conceal/stealth/buff etc. It might even...

    Yeah, that's a solid card. We'll see what happens to BGH of course but still, almost playable either way.

    Aui definitely has a lot of history playing carry but I'm not sure if that's where he is most valuable. Might be though, sometimes getting back to your roots after some time away can work well.

    Grim Dawn

    Yeah, lots of sets although a lot of them have shitty bonuses. Some are excellent though! I'm quite enjoying it so far. Playing pure arcanist, pure pets (with a gun) and a weird soldier melee thing that's not yet working as intended. Levels are 40-50ish only though so far so still definitely...

    Hearthstone

    It's going to be a bit odd, although obviously we are missing many of the pieces yet. Still, as much as they are (obviously) trying to push the late game decks and especially the late combo style, I've got to give the nod to aggro/zoo being dominant next meta. There's just no way they can...

    Hearthstone

    Meh. A one-turn delay assuming it is in your hand and it can't be cleared or silenced. Doesn't seem worth having in your deck over something that might help you win before turn ten. We'll see but I don't imagine it is a viable help really.

    Well that's a weird damned card. Use it to clear counterspell perhaps?

    RTZ is cancerous but not in the way we tend to assume from the outside. He's pretty goddamned skilled but incredibly critical of teammates. That can be good or bad depending on the personalities. In a tight team I can see him not just being an asset due to his play but *also* his attitude...

    4/6 with that text? I'd play that shit all day long. It's not for every deck of course but that's a solid card if the meta allows the archetype. Demands an answer but is also a body. Kinda Empish. EDIT: I'm still waiting on the Give Your C'Thun Charge (Wherever It Is).

    Volaz is a damned cool concept for a card. Far too minion-based for priest though, so sadly will be wasted. Will likely somehow break Wild a year or two from now though. There's a slim chance it can be made to work for Control Priest (Handcleric?) in Standard but it seems a bit risky...

    Meh, people fuck about in ranked pretty regularly. It's a bit stale out there and I'm sure a lot of folks are looking for 10 or 5 and that's about it. Dropping a match against something you don't want to play is fairly common. That or they are scared of you of course!

    Forbidden Flame should see some constructed play as well. Super flexible and can even be used to ping/cycle perhaps. Yeah it is overcosted as a minion-only DD but you don't need to play it for all your mana, only all your remaining mana. Shaping I'm a little less sold on simply because it is...

    Ha! I checked to see if I had any alts close to 20, got a shammie at 18 so might as well do it at some point. Holy shit am I lost after all this time and without my million add ons though. The funny part is I've no idea why I even want a portrait.

    Who are you voting against the least?

    I didn't tick a box (I'm Canadian and don't get to vote down there) but I probably would vote Trump if I was able. Not because he deserves it nor even just for the lulz but because he'd probably not actually suck at the job. Ignore the rhetoric he's spewing right now because that really...

    It would be an interesting card right now but I've no idea how useful it will be in the expansion of course. It's good anti freeze-mage but so was Kiz and it still couldn't really see much play in this meta when you lose big tempo against every non-secret class and deck. It'll either be great or...

    Unless there is some major new token support card for Pallies, I can't see it being used under any circumstances. Juggler will be gone (or gutted), there are tons of great five drops and honestly, what the hell is the use of five 1/1s? Muster was tempo + KJ synergy + a weapon. It was a great...

    Hearthstone

    I guess I understand the sorta combo deck thing here as people do seem to like that type of mechanic. Still though, a 10 mana card that might not even be in your hand at that point? That's real slow and terribly risky to build the entire deck around even if the supporter cards *are* passing the...

    Losing Belcher is going to hurt a *lot* of decks, that's for sure. I don't know honestly, we'll have to see. Pretty good chances on a completely busted meta for a while though.
