    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Yeah, I guess I get that. I just read the series for the first time this year. Had I been reading them as they were coming out, the cliffhanger at the end of book 3 would have made me salty as hell.

    1) You obviously didn't look very hard for mech Shaman lists. Here are the mech shaman deck lists from the two dominant meta tracking sites. You also posted a tournament deck list, for some reason. They often intentionally do things that deviate from ladder play for a variety of reasons...

    Posting "Pro X thinks this card should be nerfed so let's nerf this card!" is simply not a valid argument. Pros are subject to all the same biases as we are. It may be that they don't like the deck, don't like playing against it, lose to it a lot, or simply don't like said playstyle. Want to...

    "As is the case with most cards that are completely broken... Given that the drawback on Fel Reaver basically doesn't exist in 99% of games, I'd say that this 5 mana 8/8 is a pretty efficient creature. This is the best card in the set for aggressive decks..." -Reynad regarding Fel Reaver

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    I understand why some didn't like the ending (though I did) but I really don't get the hate on Wolves of Calla or Wizard and Glass. They were my two favorites of the series.

    It's not that I mind it, but I think the price point kinda sucks. If it were $10 for 9 new portraits, I might do it. $10 for a single character art update? No way.

    It definitely takes a bit of getting used to. Based on your hand, your early game can be a mix between control, tempo, and even sometimes face. You also need to know when to all in more so than a lot of decks. It's a riot to play though.

    Last week of April Team Liquid power ranks had 4 out of 6 polled players (Firebat, Neirea, Strifecro, and Sjow) list patron warrior as the top deck with another voting it as second. Paladin and Shaman decks are largely holding up with rear. PR April 2015 Week 5: Patron Warrior Best Deck...

    With that list you don't have enough big threats for control warrior's end game, imo. How many cards away from oil rogue are you? If you have naxx and bloodmage, you ought to be most of the way there.

    Hearthstone

    Firstly--and I don't mean to depress you--but you can't make control warrior. That is indeed one that costs a lot of dust. With that card list though, you ought to be able to make or are close to making (depending on rares): - zoo - face hunter - oil rogue - grim patron warrior Those four...

    I have to think there is something better to put in than arcane missiles. It's pretty hard to get value out of it.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    On a related note, the Beijing zoo is one of the most depressing tourist spots I've ever encountered. Nothing like watching people throw trash at tigers to see if they can get them to do something. In the States, they'd get kicked out for such behavior; in China, the crowd cheers them on.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    TCM is responsible for larger and more far-reaching human rights abuses than their prison system. While a small minority of Chinese are ever abused by their "justice" system, most Chinese believe in TCM in the same what religious people believe in God. Fortunes are made off the gullible and it's...

    Let's be real: hearthpwn is popular because it's 1) a curse site and 2) the forum culture supports a scrubby mentality, which is generally always going to be more popular than a competitive one. And let's be real; the overwhelming majority of deck comments there are either totally fucking...

    It's probably not needed. Part of the problem is that you're using hearthpwn for searches. Trying to use an anti-competitive site for competitive use is going to get you shit results; a large percentage of their decks are old, out-dated, were never good to begin with, and/or not actually updated...

    Yup. I've gotten to like tempo storm as well. Between it, liquid hearth, and ihearthu (mostly for the pod casts), you get a lot better infos. Hearthpwn is an awful, awful website.

    A lot of decent priest decks run like 2-3 legendaries. Just make substitutions. The important part is that you're using a viable shell as a starting point. Alternatively, try looking at Trump's basic priest deck, then make substitutions based on what better cards you have. Hearthstone...

    It kinda looks like you net-decked something designed for naxx boss encounters or something. You should really get away from the shell you're using. Inner Fire/Divine Spirit priest decks are really not consistent at all as they just have bad value. You often end up slow pitching the other guy a...

    Hearthpwn is an awful resource. Although they have robust deck creation tools, the signal to noise ratio over there is so bonkers high it's not worth messing with, unless you just want to laugh at scrubs. It's basically blizz forums 2.0. Liquid Hearth and ihearthu have much better...

    I started with guitar, but switched to bass as my full-time instrument a few years ago. I like it a lot more in general. It's kinda rough if you get in with a crew that have an archaic understanding of a bass guitar's role in a band, but fortunately, you can always pick your band mates.
