    The Astronomy Thread

    I imagine models on life down there requires a certain temperature. Having hydrothermal vents blasting water 200 km into the sky kind of lent to the idea that it's pretty energetic under the ice.

    Hearthstone

    Kind of a first draft, I noticed Kibler's dragon list had Alex, and Strifco's had Blessing of Might... When you combine those it makes winning with Leeroy veeerrry easy, because you can go Turn 5 consort, turn 6 weapon, turn 7 alex then leeroy them in the face for lethal if you have any board at...

    Tried the Demonlock a bit, went on a streak then got into a giant halt with zoo and hunter. Without a buffed mistress or a mal'ganis they basically have no problems killing you. I hate metas like that because I know all the zoos are losing to those hunters and all those hunters are losing to...

    Blessing of might lets your 2/2 guys trade with emperor. But its probably still just worse.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Sticking the mind gem in the Vision's head, having him played as sort of a contemplative ultra-human as well, kind of leads me to believe that he is the Adam Warlock stand-in for when the Infinity War movies come out.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    By then I pray Fantastic Four has bombed and the rights reverted to Disney so we can see Galactus and Silver Surfer in one of these movies.

    Deadpool (2016)

    Firestorm and Killer Frost probably, but Frost is a villain. Actually other than the powers the characters are really different.

    Face hunter is the natural predator of Warlocks (both of 'em).

    Hearthstone

    Well from my experience (I played some patron warrior over the last couple days), it's good against most decks but HORRIBLE vs druid, it used to be pretty bad vs. zoo as well but the addition of the egg does help out that match-up quite a bit. The reason is basically druid gives you no time to...

    Went from 8 - 5 tonight and didn't see a single Patron warrior, is midrange hunter/paladin/druid that good against them or something? They were by far the most common classes I saw tonight.

    Well freezing trap does fare better against a warsong commander combo than explosive which enables it. And the creatures are resiliant vs. Warrior removal so i would guess midrange hunter is fairly good vs patron warrior. Haven't tried it myself yet.

    Hearthstone

    Heh I had just played a few games in ladder with a midrange hunter over lunch. I'm not sure how good it is overall though. It certainly is harder for other decks to straight up counter than a face hunter, but it doesn't straight up counter anything like face hunter does. It might be better...

    Being able to access the force more due to having more midichlorians in the body is kind of like being able to speak with God better because you have magic head lice. Or being more in touch with Dharma because you have a particularly amazing tapeworm infestation.

    Second this. Went from rank 16 - 10 in a night with a nice win streak with a mage tempo deck. Then got stuck at 10 because dailies. Counter spell ruins druids, hell mirror image does too. I usually just go gold straight into packs nowadays. I used to break even, or make a very slight profit...

    I had a hard time dealing with Patron Warrior as control warrior, as they can time their combo perfectly and you basically need a brawl and weapon to clear. Twice.

    Mill can only be a real deck if they actually print offensive mill cards instead of symmetric draw cards. (And even then it's sketchy).

    Hearthstone

    Well played control warrior until I saw too many priests and paladins, then switched to rogue and did okay. As for Emperor Thaurissian I played him in both decks (replaced Rag in Warrior and replaced Edwin in Rogue). Emperor in control warrior is meh, most of their spells are so expensive...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Well lightsabers are essentially cutting torches they cut by burning/melting whatever they pass through. And remember how long it takes for them to cut through blast doors in the prequels. My nerd cred isn't high enough to remember the melting point of Adamantium and what the blade temperature...

    Hearthstone

    Rank 2 with midrange hunter basically just by doing dailies. Very tempted to do the legendary push but... meh. Although I'm not entirely sure why they say face hunter is the counter, maybe the other midrange decks don't run Kezan Mystics? It's insane not to.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I always have a couple of pet peeves with how things are shown in astronomy. Firstly the milky way has a bar in it, that it rarely if ever shown in popular astronomy pictures. Secondly, red giants aren't smooth red balls which look like our sun. They're constantly churning blobs of...

    If you're going to have your aggro deck curve all the way to 6 you're probably better with an Argent Commander than this thing due to the haste.

    Drake could fit in a zoo deck, I trade my 2/1's into your butcher and get a 2-3 mana 6/4, but it's not really great. Neferian is about on par with Onyxia at 9 mana, which isn't really playable due to the cost. And the crusher is a win more card. Drake is also pretty good in arena where 90% of...

    Rogue legendaires aren't necessary with oil rogue, Vancleef is just "okay" and I'll probably just cut him eventually. Hunter legendaries aren't necessary at all. Antonidus is optional in mech and tempo mage.

    Star Wars Rebels

    Was thinking about this some more. I don't think they'll have Vader kill Ahsoka, not just because it is a kids show, but because it would make him retroactively irredeemable. As in having a character save his biological son he barely knows doesn't absolve him from murdering the adopted daughter...

    Star Wars Rebels

    I don't know if Ahsoka knows Vader is Anakin or not. Vaders identity doesnt seem to be common knowledge or Luke would've found out from the rebellion in Empire instead of from Vader himself. It would be better dramatically if she doesn't, as I see a Ahsoka/Vader duel in a future episode.

    Urban Dictionary: woo woo Sheldrake certainly has credentials and is well spoken, however his morphic resonance idea is totally reaching. I had to turn off that podcast halfway through as he goes on and on about the ramifications of something totally unproven.

    That's all her costumes throughout the years. The statue is the current comic one. As mentioned, the character is pretty interesting and has a lot of potential, although writers usually squander the potential when writing for her. So we'll see how the TV show goes.

    Chart has a big flaw the line goes to 10,10. By the graph it shows that a 10 hot, 10 crazy is date material (bring home to parents, show off to friends). He is underestimating what a 10 crazy is like: schizophrenic off her meds, liable to cut your face off with a shard of glass and lick the...

    I seem to be having more luck with slightly off-stock decks than the complete netdeck lists. I wonder if it's because the non-legend meta is different, or if it's because you can surprise people. For example, have a handlock with Leeroy+Power Overwhelming instead of Jaraxus and a second earthen...
