    I'm 19 epics and 10 legends from a complete set after 169 packs opened (my stream donated for them, feels good). I decided I'm only going to craft golden cards since I do eventually want a complete set. So far agro Mage is the deck I have seen the most on ladder and it is really good. I got...

    I did get a Gazlowe before I got disconnected and played one game with it. It is REALLY good in Mech Shaman. Shaman have too many 3s though, so overall the deck is going to take some work. Still can't get back in.

    That isn't how ramp Druid plays out though. Vs Hunter and Zoo how ramp Druid (normally) plays out is you start to stabilize behinds taunts by turn 6/7, but at that point you are low enough that, especially in the case of Hunter, direct burn can finish you. That is why Garaa ran that one Healing...

    I lost a game to Tree of Life. It was the only game I lost in a 12-1 deck. I think it'll be a really good card.

    If you get an Undertaker start you usually win so hard that the best strategy on ladder may very well be to mulligan everything that isn't an Undertaker.

    Wow, the salt in arena is much worse that constructed. Starting to have multiple runs where people add me and bitch. I just had a match where we were both in top-decking mode. Warrior vs Rogue, I'm at 1 health but of course I have armor. It literally comes down to a coin flip of the 6/6 Ogre...

    Japanese company supporting a Japanese company isn't exactly unheard of. If anything the fact that 360 got so many Japanese games was the weird thing, but MS worked hard to make that happen. Not so much with the Xbone.

    Watching people carefully prep to kill a shredder and the deathrattle by having 2 damage available (most 2 drops are 2 health) and getting a Doomsayer is the most hilarious shit. Oops, you already attacked with everything this round so there goes your Earth Elemental, Farseer, and all your totems!

    It has clearly been foreshadowed that she has something seriously wrong with her. The hospital stay, the fainting, etc. It has a symmetry, doesn't it?

    Mage Secrets are harder to play around and more powerful than any other classes. It isn't a fun combination.

    Mech Rogue is getting me turn 5/6/7 wins in arena right now. With not ideal cards. It feels very much like Backspace Rogue used to, with that inevitable rush of damage. Weapon Oil is painful, if you have a board it is like Fireball, except you get to do it again next turn if they don't have an...

    120 cards makes for about 1/3 of the cards in HS. So.... adds up. Also got a 6-3 and a 12-2 with the new cards. Arena hasn't been this fun in a long time.

    It really depends on the meta. You're going to win the mirror if the only difference between decks is you're running Shield Maidens in place of Blocks. But that is probably going to lose you to agro, more often that not. Both because of extra body and card draw being a minor liability in a match...

    Valkyria Chronicles

    Stated playing this recently. The turn 2/3 wins on nearly every mission because of Scout rush are ridiculous. I kind of stumbled across it screwing around in skirmish mode and have been getting A ranks as a result. I also kill every champion though, which adds a pretty big challenge because a...

    Hobgoblin seems good for Murloc. Lots of 1 attack Murlocs and their low health is nearly their only weakness.

    If you included one copy of combo, I think it'd be OK. I ran 1x Healing Touch in my Druid Mill deck and it worked out. The problem with mill is agro. Mill in HS really only works if you can burn cards and agro decks run their hand out fast enough that you can't do that.

    That is kind of how Priest always works. Priest has really strong answers to specific situations, but you need to have those answers in hand. If you do, usually you just win from there. You have to think of counters in terms of percentage of wins. I think of a hard counter as anything above a...

    Exorcist is a direct counter to agro Deathrattle decks. I ran into NINE Hunters in a row last night, I'd play that in a heartbeat. Feign death opens up efficient control options for Hunter I think.

    The fact that they can, potentially, bypass taunt and ignore stealth actually makes those cards pretty interesting.

    I think this is it: Though he has several good bits that riff on the theme. Also if I ever had a girlfriend that was literally yelling at me and would not stop, I would kick her ass out, relationship over. Actually that happened once and it was a really good decision. That isn't, in my...

    That Shaman card is really good, burst Shaman is already a really strong deck in a lot of match ups and the two drops it runs suck ass by comparison. OTK with Ghaz woud be pretty epic. Pyromancer+Hunter's Mark to get rid of taunts, also damages Ghaz, Tundra Rhino for the charge. The Dream.

    Just make sure you save the fat and get the skin crispy. Those are the winning points with duck. I like pairing duck with nut flavors personally. Almond butter and a miso glaze make for some good duck, though it is very asian. My list is nowhere near that large, but I'm actually doing very...

    He was quoting Andrew Tanenbaum, Computer Networks, 4th edition. It is also still true. Sneakernet is by far the fastest way to transfer large amount of data. And will be until about 2040, if this is correct: FedEx Bandwidth

    Even giving it to a weenie is fine, vs control or agro it means they have to go through something. Actually late-game vs control you'd probably prefer not to put it on a big minion, because of TBK. The issue (for me) is that I think 2/3 weapons suck. Much prefer 3/2.
