    On my F2P European account, Maexxana is a fucking rock star. I drop her, pop Mark of the Wild on her and watch as my opponent does mental gymnastics trying to figure out how to get around her. I've had enough situations where they simply pass the turn without touching her and I'm able to...

    Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever had a game against Control Paladin NOT go to fatigue? Fucking hell. Why the hell do people play control paladin to ladder with? It's so fucking slow that you could gain rank faster with, literally, any other 30 cards thrown together to form a deck.

    Black Knight is an auto-include these days with all the new, exotic, Taunt minions out there. With the Control Warrior, post-Naxx, I just can't get rid of Geddon. Yes, he's 7 mana, but when he hits the board, there's an immediate impact in my favor 99% of the time.

    4 Horsemen weren't that bad for me. Priest makes them easy mode between heals and SW:P. Things you drop don't survive. Just mulligan, hard, for a SW:P and that really puts the odds in your favor from the beginning. Gothik was just a nightmare for me though. I couldn't find anything that...

    Pretty much. It was a shallow draft and there was no real right answer as to who #1 should be. We took a chance on Bennett and it really didn't pan out. Towards the end of the season he started to show some promising signs but he never lived up to what a #1 should be. Apparently he took...

    The thing about Varajao is that he's injury prone but it's because he gives 100% every game no matter what. The past few years he took games personally and never gave up and took all the responsibility on himself. Now that there is an actual team around him, hopefully he won't be so prone to...

    NBA 2014 Off-Season Thread

    I've warmed up to the trade. Especially in light of Paul George's injury were I think it might be better to gamble and win it all this year or next. I'd still have preferred we traded Waiters over Bennett but, my guess, is that nobody was going to go for that trade. I think Waiters is a...

    I'm seeing a lot of Zoo Locks running Void Terrors these days (the one that kills stuff on either side to buff it). I understand why they run it (especially with power overwhelming, eggs, and creepers) but I've never had a problem removing it the turn after it comes out.

    4 Horsemen were, pathetically, easy after Gothik. I went Priest and got a Shadow Word Pain in my opening hand. One Horse instantly down. Drew my 2 Oozes early on so broke his swords and just kept myself healed up and quickly took out the other 2. After that I simply milled him since he had a...

    Finally beat him. Went with a Paladin deck designed just to stall the game out. When my board was full of shitty ghosts, I dropped Deathwing which cleared everything and then watched him fatigue to his death.

    Hearthstone

    Hasn't worked for me. The problem is that I can't mill him fast enough and I end up with a board full of the shitty ghosts pinging me each turn and he has a board full of the 5/6 guys. This is the first Heroic boss that I just don't find even slightly fun.

    Wow, Heroic Gothik stopped being fun hours ago. I just can't find a strategy that works to kill him.

    Finally got him. I had 2 Divine Spirits and an Inner Fire in my opening hand. So I got a Student up to 20 Attack and over 20 health and just beat his face in. It wasn't fun though.

    There's absolutely no debating that Warlocks have the best Hero Power and I still say that it is borderline broken. In Constructed they get to draw 2 cards for every 1 of yours. Again, that's why Zoo works. I agree that Warlocks are weak in Arena but it's not because of their Hero Power but...

    He counters about half (and has the potential to backfire on your own deck if you don't plan accordingly). But I think his real problem is that other than his passive ability, he's just not that good. I tried to run him in a deck once for the purpose of countering Zoo and he just didn't work...

    I made up something similar based on that list and my first match was a Zoo deck that I grabbed, turned upside down and spanked really hard. I read a couple of analyses of the new Control Warrior and it seems that Geddon has really fallen out of favor but that's something I disagree with. I...

    One thing I was wondering about earlier: Do you think it's better to do a slow release of cards like they're doing with Naxx or just dump a batch of new cards in all at once? Or, ultimately, doesn't it matter? Right now it seems that people are taking old deck concepts (Zoo, Hunter, Control...

    What's the new version? I'm still running the 2nd version (less Legendary heavy, uses only 1 armor smith, 2 Kor'Krons but still relies on Alex + Gromm as a finisher). The only major change I've made to it is to swap out the Faceless for Loatheb. Faceless is one of those cards where he just...

    is it safe to watch porn on my work computer?

    You sound like you've made up your mind that you're going to do it anyway, but I agree with the majority and I say don't. It'd be a really stupid way to get let go. Like others have said, get a cheap laptop or a tablet and use that instead. But using company property to watch porn is stupid...

    Hearthstone

    Warrior isn't auto-win against either Zoo or mid-range hunter either. In fact mid-range hunter was created, specifically, to deal with control warriors. In both cases, warrior needs to draw really well or they get overrun and things snowball out of control.

    @Dudebro I'm normally not very cocky in game but there's been a couple of times where I'm playing Ramp Druid and I drop an Ancient of War on my turn. Next turn my opponent runs 3 minions into my AoW and burns 2 cards in hand to finish it off leaving him with nothing on the board and a pretty...

    I think there are really only two viable mage deck concepts. The first is freeze mage which you mentioned not wanting to play. With that being said, Noxxious was running an interesting variant that used duplicate and lots of giants. Idea was to lock down your opponent and then smash them with...

    I haven't been playing as much lately so I started at Rank 19 this season. Had a shitty class quest that dropped me to rank 20 before I finished it (there's really no reason to not do daily quests in Ranked). So I'm running into nothing but aggro and some of these decks are so bad that I'm...

    It's fun and all to create concept cards that "fit" well within a character's theme. It's a lot harder to balance those cards against the other 400 cards that already exist. Anti-Magic Shell is one example of a card that is simply too good. There's a reason that only a few cards can't be...

    Noth wasn't bad for me. I beat him on my first try with the standard Warrior Control deck. Heigan sucked though. Starting with a 3/4 on the board and his free, auto-use, Hero Power was really tough to overcome. I eventually beat him with a Ramp Druid. I was able to innervate a silence on...

    My financial situation should be changing for the better over the next couple of weeks so I dropped the 2,800 gold I had saved for Naxx on packs.

    Changing the subject a bit... Is anyone else extremely underwhelmed with the Haunted Creeper? The 1/2 guy who spawns 2 1/1s. He just seems too fragile and doesn't have enough attack power to do anything really. He's really easy to kill off and then deal with the spawns with "splash" damage...

    High profile streamers can pull in a lot of cash for each session they play and stream. But most streamers who get less than 50 viewers aren't getting anything. So, yeah, 1,500 to 2,000 packs is insane for the average person. Even if you're at the gold cap (20,000 gold), that only translates...
