    I don't have a problem with the chip thing. She didn't say she invented it, she just said the thing you were using won't work and will never work. Here, this thing will work. For all we know it is an off the shelf piece of tech at Palmer Industries.

    Mech Priest. Just keep healing it, trading with your other mechs, and let it grow. Really you shouldn't be playing it till you can kill off a mech on the same turn, so a 5 mana 3/7 that'll grow is decent. I ran into a weird Priest deck last night. Mech Priest+Hobgoblin. Was running...

    PR. Amaz likes Hosty personally and doesn't want to damage his career as a pro-gamer/streamer, but that doesn't change the fact that he did it, got caught, and you can't do that shit and be on a pro team. So Amaz, on his personal account, tweets one thing, but the team account tweet is pretty...

    Haha, Hosty is being nickanmed Ghosty now. Pretty hilarious. Hosty @Pinnacle2 Hearthstone tournament - side by side comparison regarding cheating accusation - YouTube Side by side video, is pretty obvious looked at like this.

    I mean if the game lasts longer than ten minutes, you could in theory gain some information. Particularly in control match ups you hold some cards in your hand for a long time. Plus Lifecoach is a perpetual roper, which helps. The evidence is pretty weird, a reflection of his second monitor off...

    In a meta dominated by Beast Hunter and Beast Druid, if you are playing Paladin, and also run Tinkmaster. So the odds aren't zero, but they are really fucking low. If 2v2 becomes a thing I feel like Priest will be ridiculous with Mage or Warlock.

    Well yeah, MCT is a near automatic 3-for-1 if it goes off. Unless you're going totally stomped, generally getting a 3-for-1 puts you pretty far ahead. MCT has always been one of the highest ranked cards in arena. Playing around it is pretty easy. Are you ahead? Don't play more than three...

    I actually can't stand to watch Strife most of the time. He ropes 95% of his turns. I wish Koyuki still streamed, that guy's play is so clean and fast.

    I have seen in MCT in about half of all Druids I've run into the last week. Druids make up around 15% of my match ups. I've also seen it in fatigue Mage (freezes+Deathlords often result in a pretty big board), Handlock, grinder Mage, and Priest. So maybe one match-up in ten right now on ladder I...

    ^That. Exact same argument he was having with Tides. Also the new website is pretty awesome for building decks.

    Just think of it as an exercise in deck building. You should be tweaking your deck a lot to pull out the win. Also you can decide there are certain cards you really need at the start, feel free to mulligan for them and then concede and reload if you don't get them. None of the heroics took me...

    Actually the weird thing about rice is that as you add more rice, the ratio changes. So if you're making rice on the stove you can't just use a fixed ratio (rice cookers already take this into account with their lines). 1 cups rice: 1.5 cups water. 2 cups rice: 2.75 cups water 3 cups rice...

    Caveat: I had a rice cooker that could keep rice good for ~4 days, but when I was living alone once for a while I got in the habit of making multiple marinades for chicken, splitting them up into one size servings, and fridge them. Take out, cook, put on already made rice, garnish with fresh...

    When I moved in with my first serious girlfriend, neither of us could really cook, but we both liked food. So we made a deal: one of us will learn to cook, but the other one has to do all the dishes. We were both working at the time but she also had school, so I ended up being the one to learn...

    If only. I do think the meta is pretty gross right now. Agro decks work on ladder because they have the potential to get these blowout starts and most control decks have one answer that works (Fiery War Axe, Wrath, Frostbolt, etc). If you don't get that answer, you lose to those blowout...

    Because it can 2-for-1 and most of the decks that run it also run KT. One of the problems with KT is sometimes you can play it, but not kill any of your minions, so you don't get the immediate value. A Sky Golem is fragile enough to die when you need it to, guaranteeing KT value.

    It isn't actually hulless, it is an industry term for smaller kernel popcorns which tend to have more tender hulls. Relevant to the current discussion, they break up more and are less likely to get stuck in your teeth. Apparently they can be easier to digest as well. The thing most people don't...

    Hyped was playing a mech Rogue today that used him, he was ranking up in legend with it so it seems like a good deck. It is, in fact, an amazing card (essentially a 4/4 for 3 if you have any mechs on the board and better if it is lives a turn). Rogue just isn't doing so well atm. Lot of people...

    I've had the occasional issue with spectate mode. Games not playing out, cards disappearing (especially in mulligans). Opponent name/rank not being visible. Stopping watching and reloading has always fixed it, if it didn't fix itself.

    No, it is also good to do vs Druid of all kinds (getting an Ancient of War off of it hurts them so much). It is good vs everything late game, so long as you have answers in hand. I run double Poly double BGH in my version because I cut Coldlights completely. At that point I don't care what pops...

    In Fatigue Mage it is one of the best things you can dupe actually, especially vs agro of any kind. It makes sense to me to see it a lot of ranks. Not everyone is trying to get to legend. Some people just want to play new decks they heard about, test them out, learn to play them. Yeah...

    There is an urban myth, I don't know if it s substantiated or not, they if you have sex on ecstasy normal sex will never feel "good" again. Women are at risk of this more than men, since under normal circumstances you can't get hard on ex (for most men, unless combined with viagra/other ED drugs).

    Tomatoes are better canned than "fresh." Tomatoes ripen on the vine and then pretty much immediately start to go bad. You can't refrigerate them, because they have a compound responsible for most of their flavor that turns off below like 43 F and then never turns back on. Outside of growing your...

    My experience with teaching people to play Paladin in arena suggests the #1 thing most people do wrong is not making enough dudes. Turn 10, you play an 8 drops and have 2 mana left over. Do you make a dude or put down the 2 drop you have in your hand? 99% of the time the correct answer is make a...

    Control Warrior is still good, the list hasn't changed much since Naxx (Dr. Boom EDIT: And Shield Maidens is pretty much the only GvG card most of them are running). Mech Mage would require a pretty serious investment in GvG. Priest is not so great on ladder right now, of any stripe. Zoo would...
