    Just beat Fatigue Mage as Warrior. I added both Acolytes to board when he Doomsayered and stole one of his Deathlords with Sylvanas. Ended up fatiguing at the same time..... but I had 46 armor to start out. The fact that I decided to run Kezan Mystic was just insult to injury, since I stole his...

    He is counting by both players. It is turn 7, so each player has had 7 turns. Turn 14. I don't know where this comes from, but I've seen multiple people do it in this thread and elsewhere.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Having the perspective of being in open relationships, it isn't the sex that bothers people. It is the betrayal. You weren't betrayed by the person your spouse had sex with, you were betrayed by your spouse. Though I've passed up a lot of opportunities to help someone cheat because I've been...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    I'd like to point out that if you Google that scene, there are thousands of articles on it. Some of them by acting teachers, who refer to it as one of the most perfectly acted scenes ever seen on television. Others are by writers, who praise it for being perfectly scripted. It is literally used...

    Are you under the impression that people in shit situations don't talk about the shit situations they are in...? You could go to general on this forum and find threads that consist of nothing but people talking about the world and "the way things are." Which is all The Wire did, it showed people...

    This happened to me when I top decked Reincarnate just now. I could have had double KT and locked the game down, but nope. Ended up winning in fatigue (14 turns later).

    Naxx is probably the best thing you can buy. Don't punish yourself trying to beat it on Heroic unless you like a challenge, the only reward is a card back. My advice is always to do arena when you're starting out. If you make it to 3 wins it is identical in value to buying a pack, plus you got...

    Illidan would actually be playable if the Flames he spawned were also demons, or if he was "nerfed" to a 6/6. I was playing him in Demonlock, just to have another high value minion to Voidcaller, and he got shit done in a lot of games for me. He is second tier, nowhere near the bottom. Pagle is...

    Seems fine. The thing about Coq Au Vin is that, originally, it was a way to use up old roosters. Old birds have much tougher meat, the long cooking process helped break things down. The multiple hours of cooking was very needed for them. If you go to the store and buy a bird, which can be as...

    Mill Mage is hard as shit to play correctly. In any control match up you're going to have to constantly manage your hand size, sometimes like 4-5 turns in advance. So fun though.

    I missed the "at GvG" release part somehow. cthonic is correct for the current status, however that is considered to be a bug according to a QA poster on the Blizz forums. Not thinking of Charge. Charge OTK was Alexstraza+Gorehowl for exactly 15. Required a set up turn to equip the Gorehowl...

    It used to apply to any minion, now it is 3 or less attack. Molten OTK was the idea of the deck. Free moltens with charge, bounce them back to hand and replay with Brewmasters.

    The problem with Reynad's deck is that everyone is running BGH. I've run into Zoo running BGH. Some people are running TWO BGHs. Second problem is that in the Hunter mirror, faster deck had the advantage in the life race. So Reynad's list is worse in the mirror and worse against control.... why...

    Sous-vide literally means under vacuum, translated from the French. But the style of cooking is about the temp control, not the vacuum. You can sous-vide eggs directly in the shell. No bag, no vacuum, still sous-vide. Also you can sous-vide just fine in standard ziptop bags with most of the air...

    Outside of the obvious (hot tub) these actually exist, but are usually custom made. There are solutions off the shelf that simply use better materials that keep the water from cooling, but they are usually only available as ofuro (Japanese style baths). Also sous-vide eggs have a different...

    Boom and Sylvanas would be my first two crafts. I'd craft Alexstraza before I crafted Jaraxxus personally, class legendaries are only good if you plan on playing that class a lot.

    I didn't say it lowered the skill cap, I said it handicapped skilled players. Technically it is handicapping everyone, but the effect is more dramatic on skilled players because their variance is lower. Not quite the same thing. Also I was disagreeing with a dev who said it would RAISE the skill...

    One thing I've noticed about ladder since GvG release: it is harder to rank up. All the pro streamers, Amaz, Savjz, Xixo, Forsen, Kolento, etc., are having a harder time getting to legend. The number of games they have to play to get there has increased a ton (Xixo didn't sleep till he hit...
