The problem is what if the frostbolt/firebal hits your own minion? I don't see this being good enough, consistently enough, unless you only have flamestrike/blizzard style spells and that sounds like a terrible deck. Mage deck that wants to get to 8 mana to clear opponent's board? and it isn't a...

so.. ESPN is running circles around everyone else on keeping up with the roster changes. The 2017-2018 League of Legends Roster Shuffle TSM made the Zven/Mithy thing official. Roster is Hauntzer, MikeYeung, Bjerg, Zven, Mithy, with SSONG (IMT coach). We say these things every year, but that...

I mis-spoke a bit on a level being a 'full champion' if we are talking 6300+ champs. There's some champs that don't even cost 1280, though. So, it depends on what level of player you are. To a newer player that doesn't own all the cheap ones yet, leveling up IS basically a new champ. For veteran...

uhh.. man, they are really going after the memes with this xpac it seems. King Togswaggerler, Marin and this.. Plus, the other random spell/minion effects in general. I don't know if I'm just vastly different then the average user, or Blizz is mis-interpreting their data. On reddit, or any...

eh.. it's really not like that at all. You get as much blue essence, over time, as you did IP. For most people, you get more, actually. If you tend to play between 2-6 games a day, you will earn more essence then you did IP. The first win of the day quest gives a ton of essence. Leveling up...

I like the mystery champ thing, cause there's a fair amount of the 6300+ champs I don't own and I want most of them equally. So, getting a discount on +1 champ is fine with me. I did buy Zoe specifically today, though. I love artillery champs, so her playstyle looked great to me watching Moe...

These unstable spoilers have been cracking me up. I haven't played in over a year, but I'm kind of wanting to go to the pre-release or release event just for fun. Pretty sure this set will be a ton of fun for just those events, then die off completely.. so if I want to play with the cards...

huh? The twig says 'gain 10 mana crystals'. Based on the wording, it seemed most likely to give you 10 (full) mana crystals. It has same wording as Nourish. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some weird exception case going on here. Sort of like how Jade Blossom doesn't give you the excess...

ROFL, just saw Zola the Gorgon. 3 mana, 2/2, battlecry: Choose a friendly minion, add a GOLDEN copy to your hand. The fact it specifies a golden copy just cracks me up.

yet.. cept medivh, of course. Which, that seems like a good fit into that strategy. Play twig turn before medivh, then cast a UI on same turn as medivh! Now, you have a 10 drop, a 5/5, and a 7/7 all in play with a full hand. Just to make sure, the twig gives you 10 full mana crystals...

Yea, Smoant posted some pics of their next mod on reddit, asking for naming suggestions. But, in the comments lots of people were asking them for a squonk. They replied it was the next thing on their agenda after that one. Squonk boxes are what a lot of drippers are switching to, and the...

I checked out the rabox at a local store. It looks really cool, but it is not comfortable to hold and the build quality suuuuucked. It rattled when you shook it slightly, from loose pieces not being fully tightened. Couldn't believe the same company made it and my charon. The charon is super...

.

Yea, I've heard very good things about those boxes, and all my local stores carry them. They've been the new hot, affordable, mod. My alien finally broke, but I didn't get one of the Drags because the only designs my buddy's store had, was one I didn't like. Instead, I got the Smoant Charon...

Ajani was just pretty bad overall, especially for 6 mana, but the B/W sorin got played for awhile. I don't know exactly when it stopped being playable, somewhere between kaladesh and Ixalan the meta moved away from the kind of deck he fit in, but he wasn't a bad card. Plus, on the surface he...

Ive only been kind of paying attention lately to the pro scene, but im astounded vraska wasnt an auto include in any B/G/x deck immediately. She kills practically anything while giving you mana, or makes 2/2s to block. Every base question we ask to decide if a planeswalker is 'good' was a yes...

Finished up last night. First few episodes were pretty boring, took me a week to get through those. Didnt get that 'hooked' feeling till ep 4 or 5, then i binge watched the rest yesterday. The whole side plot with '8' felt weird. I thought she was gonna come back and help 11 in beating the mind...

So.. the outfit is simultaneously both the kind that everybody hates and nobody has a problem with.. ok, got it.

Ok. Wasn't sure if you thought it was lame or an actual typo. I honestly skimmed and read it as 'for the horde' the first few times I saw it myself.

It's not a typo, you do know? It's a pun based on the treasure theme.

do we know if you have to gain 3 armor at once, or can you do 1 at a time and it keeps track? If the are all the first way, then yea the shaman one sucks. If it's cumulative, then they all become a little better. It's hard to overload 3 at once, but easy to do over time. I'm guessing the...

and that was one of the exact arguments I made, the 3/60 thing, as their only defense for the 75 card deck has been it creates more 'variety' in cards used. It was very, very frustrating in beta to not get good communication from Direwolf. It felt just like the way hearthstone dev team doesn't...

Finals! spoilering for first 24 hours, since it was at a weird time for most NA people

It's not the shuffler, it's the 75 card deck size. It increases the chances of drawing 'clumps' of power or non-power cards in a row. I got involved in a huge debate about it on the beta forums, even had some math guys run some simulations that showed the issue. Simplest way to think of it is to...

so, apologies if it was explained, but what's 'recruit' mean exactly? Is it discover + summon? Or just random summon? Or discover + draw it? On the weapons, been waiting for them to implement something like this. Think we even talked about it months ago in this thread. Always wanted them to...

indeed.. :-/ Just like last year, I'll be rooting for SSG.. and just like last year, SKT will win anyway.

so.. I guess I just got above average luck for the first 7 drafts I did, and now I'm getting the other end of it. Last 4-5 runs have all been under 5 wins, 2 of them just being 2 wins. One game my opponent had 2 firelands portals, malfurion, jaina, lich king, swipe, and starfall that I somehow...

No, there wasn't, that's the thing. Unless it was different in alpha, it's stats have never changed and there was never a competitive deck based around flyers that wasn't also basically a control deck. shadow/primal decks were the only ones that ever ran much flyers successfully, and only...

Well yea, sure, but it could do that without being a ridiculously good creature against non-flyers. The under costed body plus endurance makes it a very good creature against everyone. The anti-flying just destroys flyer decks if they don't have a removal/silence for it. I tried playing some...

A lot of the issues with this game get exacerbated by the structure of ladder. Especially from a 'fun' perspective. In a tournament setting, you have a rough idea of whats in an opponent's deck, if not an exact list, and can run some cards to counter that strategy. In ladder and arena, it's...

It was a huge discussion during beta, and no one could ever give a legitimate reason for keeping it that way, but the devs never seemed to budge on it. The only argument for it was basically 'if we nerf it, something else will be the best card then' which made no fucking sense. It should have...

eh.. there's fiery war axe and upgrade at the very least. I only played through it once, but I got both of those. Think there is arcanite reaper as well? Not sure.

The issue isn't 'value engines' really, it's library manipulation abilities. I mean, Opt is a staple in mtg and all it is is 1 mana, scry 1 (look at top card, keep on top or put on bottom) then draw 1 at instant speed. Lots of cards in a recent set had cycling, letting you discard them for 1-2...

I will admit it was crazy to play someone who had TWO deathknights.. and I had even grinded through the first one (uther), but the 2nd one being anduin when I had 3 minions out with 5+ attack was aggravating. I was figuring he had dragonfire potion, so I had cobalt scalebane out, an 8/4...

I mean.. it IS crazy and somewhat high variance.. but not much more then normal arena. Maybe I've just been lucky so far, but if you pick the right classes you can get a clearly defined strategy for what your deck wants to do. Like, mage/lock gave me tons of removal and board clears. So, I...

yea, they get ONE that's as good/better then magic. That was the only one (dunno if newest set changed things dramatically) you can really play that's any good, and divination is the benchmark for playable card draw. Worse then divination is bad, better is good, and if there's nothing better...

Since the dev team is full of magic pros, I feel like they have been trying to limit the amount of card draw/tutor effects to avoid repeating magic's mistake with how they designed blue. However, they went too far in limiting those options. If they had the same level of draw/tutor as mtg, but...

dual hero arenas are pretty crazy. Big variance in how good a deck can be. Had a ridiculous rogue/warlock deck that went 11 wins. Every removal you could think of (2x defile, abyssal, assasinate, evis, despicable dreadlord, etc..) tons of card advantage (2x swashburglar, chittering, lock hero...

I think that's what that other girl, the investor lady, would have pushed her towards if they didn't have a falling out. But, donna having the epiphany when she goes to pay for the tab at the diner is what made me think it might be something financial, like paypal. Don't see how the diner would...

Huh? Almost everyone is the comic relief.. the whole show is comic relief. That said, Wiig's character is starting to make Tandy look somewhat reasonable in comparison, which is ridiculous. Tandy was my least favorite character with how mind blowing-ly stupid he could be. If they are trying to...
