    IIRC he was, yea - that he had been before he joined the Legion - then came back to it after his Legion issues but all the rest of the Mormons got wiped out in the meantime... No?

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    Awesome to hear - mine is expected July-ish (got my coupon ~2 weeks ago) - look forward to see the secondary applications you figure out how to code in the meantime. Seems a wonderful device with tons of expandability in time with creative people hacking away.

    It's not impossible, but it would also force the meta to change even quicker hour to hour.

    Ranks aren't like against a computer AI though, they'll vary by days of the week or anything else. It's as much of a psychology thing as anything else - hell if such a website happened it would likely have people analyzing it backwards to not run what it's showing as the most popular for a...

    Wonder how recently that was recorded - I swear I played against SamSu with something remarkably close in Arena like two weeks ago. No notes or anything but the name is memorable this far out which odds are was something where I was having a similar "bullshit" style reaction to in arena. (And...

    Obt: Can't you pair it to a smartphone or something else as a BT device to run such things in the meantime?

    See now you're talking like I was trying to say mostly. (Besides not valuing tweaking on your own - my circle of friends and I had broken the meta on MTG a few times so tweaking and trying to again is always going to be a drive - it's a great feeling finishing a game having someone shake your...

    Hearthstone

    Pot, kettle, black and I'm not even trying to argue - and I'm not saying 50% is "bad" once you clarified you meant overall. I just think it's a goofy metric to use since it's not particularly relevant. If there was a range/time/whatever when you knew say MechMage was 70% of the field and you...

    And that last sentence comes down to pairings... which is what I consider more important to focus on... I play an hour or two every other day - I could care less if I ever rank that low, practically speaking it's impossible especially since I prefer control that runs long games. I probably do...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I bet November along with another AAA like Killzone. "Happy two year anniversary, we're starting AAAs with PS+ on PS4 now" seems more likely than trying to tag it onto E3. (Although E3 isn't impossible for it)

    Hearthstone

    Yea. But what kind of moron counts every game that they're playing instead of individual pairings - it's the derpiest way I've ever heard to discuss things. I understand what you're trying to say, but it's the worst possible phrasing for it since you make it sound like "Aim for 50% and you'll...

    Ok, so "Very Good" OTW to Legend at 50% is complete horseshit then since you don't even get win streaks...

    Ah Master was posting while I was. Yea, I forgot Tempo - I guess it's sorta Tempo/Aggro. I did forget Tempo, but usually think of generic "Tempo" as a non-existent thing since Tempo by itself doesn't win games, you have Tempo/Aggro (like Sligh) or Tempo/Control like Draw-Go with one big finisher.
  18. Vaclav

    Hearthstone

    Eh, maybe the terminology has changed since MTG - "trading critters" and such was still aggro in MTG last time I bothered discussing concepts with people. (i.e. Sligh was considered aggro) Aggro, Combo, Control, Midrange. And the last I'm not really that clear on since the term came about...

    Hearthstone

    Yea I'm definitely not that overall - I was quoting win-rates with one deck versus specific builds. Not overall - 40% is probably my overall win-rate. I experiment rather than just copy so that's always going to be part of it. Just like say for the specific deck in question - Rogue slaughters...

    Pyromancer with enough 1 cost fuel which many of those help the Pyro go longer work well at diminishing a fast rush from MW in my experience - might need to wait a turn and take a hit or two before running the Pyro out, but it's worked well for me. Just a matter of feeling things out.

    Figured since 20 -> 8 was... but you were saying 50% was "very good" on the way to Legend, which unless you're relying on win-streaks doesn't math out....

    Ok, maybe it's not my variants that I pick then - always felt favorable to me, but was just assuming Column knew what he was talking about - maybe it's just Priest in general then...

    I probably will, but I'm playing like 9 video games right now (and don't even touch them many days with 2-3 boardgaming days a week most of the time now...) - I just knock out my dailies and the occasional arena as it stands right now - I flutter around Rank 8 and I'm fine with that. But yea...

    Funny, my priest is my best win rates right now vs MechMage. Of course it's a weirdly aggressive priest build that gets T8 wins rather often rather than the standard attrition, but still...

    Persistence? Shrug. There's definitely some losses having Sludge or similar would have turned, but I don't sweat a non-indeal win rate. I get frustrated more by my bad pairings showing than anything else. (remember I do MTGO as well - in most pairings the best win rates for skilled players...

    Had missed it, sounds fun and exciting - either of you get the Expansion? Definitely putting the base game on the buylist, wondering how essential the Xpac is from the getgo.

    Well, it's not particularly shocking - BethSoft is over in Rockville they could probably see half the places from there with binoculars. (Although the art assets were largely handled at ZeniMax up in Hunt Valley, but still...)

    Yea, not done my Descent 2E yet (with all expansions except Manor) but planning similar with some sort of splits to the tiles because that gets to be a bitch otherwise, yea.

    Also, as some recent matches are reminding me (I still haven't felt like paying $20 for Naxx yet - and was on break so gold is still going towards GVG right now) - Deathlord has a ton of value vs. MW builds

    Well considering it's part of why she's gotten disability since she was 20 and she's terrified of losing that trifling amount of money (my trust came in about a year after she finally found Lexapro to work) - it wasn't much of a voluntary choice on her part, pretty sure she'd have lost...

    For not working, I'm working it just fine on the regular... shrug. There isn't a game I can recall recently where a MW rush came out that I didn't counter completely - occasionally the attrition from the rush was too much and they carried through AFTER the rush because too much damage was...

    faile: My one gaming group is tied in with a local Makerspace - I was planning to ask them to "optimized cuts" question myself next time, they've got a ton of cutting equipment there, so I'm sure someone has a solution of some sort. (Plus I might ask about cutting foam core on the laser cutter...

    mures: Did you see the part where I mentioned that the light AEs work well if you've got some sort of early support with it? It's really sounding to me like you've got a deck (or play style) that you want to be rigid about instead of adapting around MW. MW definitely influences the format...

    Yep - if it needs anything it would be a SLIGHT adjustment (like you said with limiting it like Summoning Portal - conveniently which Mechwarper talks about opening a portal too, mind you) - that might not be needed, but that's the most it would need because of the availability of sweepers +...

    There's cheaper sweep options than that - Sheep + suicide. Pyromancer + Coin + something. Pinpoint 3 pt damage options to prevent it snowballing. Explosive Trap. Lightning Storm. Remember it's just 2 damage you need for the mostpart if you've got any other board presence.
