Antique Healbot in Handlock is fucking brutal...

I spent $50 on 40 packs. Those will be the last packs I buy with real money. I got a good assortment of epics but only 1 Legendary (Gazlowe so at least a decent one). 10 epics (Piloted Sky Golem was golden) 4 golden commons or rares. With some of my excess dust I crafted Vol'Jin and the big...

Up to Rank 8 playing FACE Huntard. I haven't seen a single GvG card in about 10 games. My guess is that there are no tried and true netdecks out there so at this rank people are still hoping to hit Legend and are sticking with what they know works. Right now that is not GvG.

Dropped $20 on 15 packs and it wasn't great. 0 Legendary and only 3 Epics (Quartermaster X2 and a Fel Reaver). I picked up a Gold Illuminator, Ogre Ninja and Tinkertown Technician. Beyond that, nothing great.

Neptulon isn't not, what I would consider, a win more card. He re stocks your hand and puts a big minion on the board. The best part is that the new cards come from a new pool and don't hurt you by milling. I would consider him a tempo card.

Modified Zoo Lock decided to run Jeeves. He ran out of cards LONG before I did as Control Warrior. It was AWESOME dropping Iron Juggernaut for the kill shot.

Sounds like a good time to step away from this game. It was distracting me from studying for the CPA exam so that's not a bad thing.

If you want easy wins and don't care about playing the new cards, go super face aggro. I saw the suggestion a few pages back and it really has panned out. Everyone is playing the new cards so if you go super aggressive, your opponent can't keep up with a traditional, tuned, deck.

From the Petition: WTF is this shit? Can I start a petition to have Charles Manson removed from the production team of My Little Pony? Because it amounts to the same fucking thing.

I did get a Golden Recombobulator. That was a nice one.

43 packs opened and only 2 Legendaries (with the average of 1 per 20 packs, that puts me at the mean). I got Toshley (meh) and Irong Juggernaut (which I wanted). The rest was an assortment of "stuff." I only got about 700 dust from disenchanting duplicates. I overestimated how many...

My priest still runs holy fire. Alex is pretty much the only SWtarget that mage runs so it dies once it hits the board (or mind controlled if the mage had to burn a lot of DD). So Alex hits, dies and I pop my health back up and the Mage runs out of steam.

My problem with freeze mage are that the counters are pretty much unwinnable. Control warrior destroys it and the priest decks don't have much trouble either. And if Hunter gets a good opening, stalling out does nothing to stop the inevitable.

5 days and 18 hours

Can we keep the Gamersgate crap and its offspring contained in one thread please?

I've tracked my last 29 games around rank 12 - 9. Results were not surprising in the slightest: Hunter: 14 Priest: 5 Shaman: 4 Druid: 4 Warlock: 3 (handlock 2, Zoo 1) Warrior: 2 Mage: 1 So 48% of my games were Hunters. About half the remaining were decks designed to beat Hunters. 2...

And servers will, probably, stabilize on Thursday.

My thinking on Iron Juggernaut is that he's a Control Warrior card. He's another finisher. If you play him late in the game, your opponent has to deal with the body and it's likely they'll be taking 10 to the face. If he's played too early, he'll just be killed off and then they might not...

One stupid thing I've been wondering. Does Fatigue get reset ever? We now have a few ways to add cards to our pool. Malorne in paticular. If you take 5 points of fatigue, kill Malorne, and draw him. What is the fatigue counter at? Back to 1? That would be my guess.

Saved up 3,700 gold and around 3,500 dust. So I'll start with around 41 packs (37 bought, 3 free, and one extra from finishing my Arena run that is sitting at 3/2 right now). I feel that will get me a solid chunk of cards. I think my "must craft" Legendary cards are Vol'Jin, Iron Juggernaut...

Fuck me hard. Control Warriors are now running owls because of all the deathrattles and undertakers.

Happy to see the Cavs coming together. It's still going to be a process but they're looking a lot better now than they did at the beginning of the season. You're not seeing nearly as many mistakes (like passing the ball to an empty spot on the court) and you can tell they're starting to trust...

Didn't they say that the raid will be a week later or am I making shit up?

Yep. Because "everyone was running him" which led to Nat Page becoming an auto include in every deck which led to him getting nerfed which led to...

Oddly enough though, I haven't seen a Zoo deck in a couple of days. Probably because Hunter hard counters Zoo but it's one really annoying deck off the ladder currently.

Exactly. I was baffled by the nerfs honestly. With GvG coming out so soon, the cards they did hit didn't really seem to justify nerfing just yet. But Undertaker just seems way too strong and, potentially, is only going to get stronger for the reasons you mentioned.

Merry +Netsmas

I'm not sure what GvG will, ultimately, do with the meta but it can't hurt right now. This is the most toxic meta that has existed in a long time. Well over half of my matches are against the exact same Hunter deck. With the exception of Control Warrior, every other deck is using Undertaker...

So people playing handlock are trying to counter the hunter counter (I.e. Priest) then. Priest pretty much auto loses to hand lock.

Dumb question. Is Handlock good against Hunters? Or are they just trying to counter the Hunter counter since Priests auto lose to Handlock?

Yep. Ice Breaker in particular, simply, breaks the game. Infinite ammo on a high precision, hard hitting, weapon allows you to solo stuff that would, normally, be extremely difficult (if not impossible).

I'm not arguing that Zoo isn't a bullshit deck (it absolutely is). My point is that you can counter Zoo with an equally bullshit deck.

Huntertaker, as you call it, hard counters Zoo. Want to hero power? Be my guest. Go right ahead and put yourself that much closer to lethal. Meanwhile I'll stop you cold with explosive traps to keep your board clear while using, extremely, complex tactics such as "going face" with anything...

I normally don't play Arena so I started my free one and am sitting at 3/2 right now (shitty draft with a shitty choice of classes). Have they confirmed that I'll be able to finish my run on Tuesday for a GvG pack? And I've read somewhere that we may be getting another free run at Arena? Am...

Yeah, right now in constructed it's either Hunter or anti-Hunter. I've seen some decks that are designed to 100% counter Hunter at the expense of all other match ups. The sad thing is that with the current meta, that's actually a viable strategy.

Another thing of note. There are no "cheap" Legendaries. They all cost 5 mana or more. I think this is more detrimental to them honestly. They are, by and large, very situational or, flat out, bad. The ones I like are Iron Juggernaut and Troggzor. Vol'Jin is another one that I think...

One thing I just noticed about GvG. No new Secrets. Or did I miss one somewhere?

I think hunters are more excited at Malorne than Druids are... Even though the chance to pull him with a web spinner is pretty small. I think Warrior's got the best legendary. He, easily, replaces Cairne and provides a solid body. If that mine hits, it's 10 to the face and a huge tempo...

Not sure when the pre-launch event is or if it will even be offered. I found the information on Hearthpwn who data mined the launch event stuff out of yesterday's patch. 4 packs and some gold though? Yes please!
