    Crazy Neighbor. Coward Landlord.

    Depending on your state, that clause isn't even legal. I'd consult a lawyer, there are usually even free services around for dealing with shitty landlords trying to make tenants sign illegal things. Recording the guy being crazy and showing it to the police is also very good advice, you should...

    Hearthstone

    I still run into Hunters who are rank 3-7. There are at least two Legend players who got there with Hunter and are still playing it. Ditto Murlocs. You never stop running into it. Paladin agro is also pretty brutal, it does depend on Divine Favor if your opponent lives that long (it is your only...

    Hey, if you can get a draft like that, it'll probably win a ton of games. But it is way to unreliable to draft that way on purpose.

    Hearthstone

    Well and it is what everyone with consistent arena results says. Drafting your curve correctly is easily the hardest thing to do, you can pick the "best" card every time and still lose easily if you screw your curve.

    Hearthstone

    Quests work in arena. Probably the easiest way to to it. But honestly you can just play ranked, at low levels of ranked the games are not difficult and you can always derank to get easiest matches (queue and concede). If you're playing casual mostly rank probably isn't a big deal, right? Would...

    To put this in perspective, Trump got a Shaman deck with 4 Fire Elementals in arena. Once. It was so rare it has a highlight video. This is a guy who has played hours of arena nearly every day for.... what? Going on six months? I've never had more than one and I have like a thousand wins in...

    Predicting Water Elementals will turn out to be your MVPs if you get past 5 wins. Thought of a 3 card, 17 damage combo for Warrior. Grommash, Alchemist, Inner Rage. If anyone wants to know why I keep fiddling with this, it is because Savage Roar+trees is just so strong @14 damage. I like it...

    Hearthstone

    Both of those seem pretty reasonable. If you know your deck is a burn deck, you try and get your opponent down as fast as possible. Preferably to the point where you know you have an out, i.e., a card you can draw that'll win the game for you. I do that all the time in close games. Sometimes I...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Your body loses heat in water roughly 25x faster than it does in air. Also the act of exercising brings blood closer to the surface capillaries, which makes this worse over time. The longer you swim, the harder your body has to work to maintain temp, whereas you might think the exercise would...

    Efficient removal is what Shaman are about. If you didn't have that you'd be 0-3, no question. But you also can't heal, so you can easily just deck yourself and die to fatigue if you don't have a win condition. Rockbiters are bursty with the Doomhammer, but it requires you didn't have to use...

    4-3. No Lighting Storm and no bursty win condition (Windfury/Windspeaker/Bloodlust) is going to screw you.

    Hearthstone

    It can't be stated enough how hard it is to do 5 damage in general, much less on turn 4. In basically every case it'll be a two (or more) piece combo. Lava Burst and Fireball are basically the only exceptions. So you're getting 1.5-2 cards worth of value. If all of your cards get that level of...

    Managing your curve is the most important, and most difficult, aspect of drafting. That is to many Polymorphs because 4 is just to high a cost for something that is 1-for-1. Not so great today, got halfway through 8 twice. At 9, one win from 8, right now. That is 150 wins. I think I might...

    Just got matched against a Shaman who literally burned the rope every turn. I got matched against him three times. I deranked him from 6 to 7 and got halfway through 8 off of him. This took like an hour. Christ.

    I believe it. People who live in cold climates have much higher caloric requirements. The people stationed at the bases in the arctic need to eat like 6k calories per day just to maintain weight.

    It really has to be a surprise. I actually tried it in ranked. I went on a pretty decent win streak before losing back down. It has problems with heal heavy Paladins (they'll heal up after Alex). vs Hunters if your Armorsmiths do some some work you really can't lose (also Commanding Shout...

    I'm rank 9 atm. Not really top... I think the average top streamer is around rank 4 right now. But high enough up that you don't just want to concede out. @Grayson: Huh, using free Molten Giants gives you 8 instances of damage. That is most of the way there (though it raises the total card...

    Actually tried a couple of practice games vs some standard decks. The Frothing averaged ~18 damage, with a high of 22, in actual play. Alex was basically essential to the combo working in all cases and I was usually down to the last 2-3 cards in my deck when I won (opponents usually had 10-14...

    Hearthstone

    Yep. And Commanding Shout/PW:S. It only counts if they actually take damage, and since Whirlwind+double Pyro is 3 damage, we needed to buff up the Pyros a bit. In hindsight we could go higher, but it'd be a lot of finicky work to set up the board. Discovered an OTK combo that still works, but...

    He edits that in later, but there is a guy over on liquidhearth working on that as part of his project for an app that auto-tracks win % for you. Since it all uses on screen visual recognition. It is tricky with the cards though, especially when they glitch. Had some fun with accordion...

    Strange, I just had a Hunter concede on like turn 4. I had an Armorsmith and two other minions down. I used Whirlwind, which gave me three armor and he just tapped out.

    It depends. Like vs Priests if they don't have the coin or have used it, I try and get my UEs in the 4 range before they hit 4 mana and in the 3 range before they hit 6 (Cabal Shadow Priests). I don't mind them getting eliminated by SW:P, but getting the thing taken away from me is bad. If I...

    Up to 12 @ 30 wins today. I probably shouldn't have screwed around with Priest (given what I was facing), but sometimes you need to switch it up. Plus I was a couple of games from 2x golden SSC.

    Got 1600 dust and crafted Millhouse. Set complete. EDIT: Also hit rank 13 at a total of 60 wins. Was experimenting with a Warrior deck based around weapons that slowly mutated. It is still kind of hit or miss, so it was a little slower than before.

    I've had that happen before. Someone will do a crazy play that I think is genuinely good to clear my board, and I'll emote "Well played" and they just leave, assuming I have lethal or something.

    That doesn't seem that different from what all the Chinese guys who play Rogues like to run. In my experience it doesn't do well on the NA ladder. In tournaments Rogues are a pretty good deck. Ran into the same situation twice today. Someone plays Ysera. MC it. They Dream Ysera back to my...

    Druids can have such strong starts. Turn 1 coin+Innervate into Yeti, turn 2 Innervate into Yeti. Sure his hand his empty, but by the time I stabilize I'm dead. So I'm sticking to just wins that give me gold this season (so 30 wins/day). Got up to rank 16. My understanding is that it takes...

    Is it weird I hate playing against bad decks? Sometimes they'll pull something stupid I wasn't expecting and the game ends up going long. I'm not ever in danger of actually losing, I just can't kill them with my control deck till I draw one of my win conditions. Happens at lower ranks so much.

    FWIW none of the streamers I watch who play Rogue play Defias anymore. Some think it is to weak, some prefer to combo SI:7 agent if they have that option, etc.
