    Again one of the big issues is that Zoo isn't a Deck with these 27 cards and a bit of leeway to swap out the last 3 depending on the Meta. It's a philosophy and not a deck (or as Kibler puts it, it's not a deck, it's a pile of cards and a Hero Power). Because of that, we're going to be "stuck"...

    Hearthstone

    Losing health equal to the cost of the card drawn (Warlock Hero Power) is a terrible decision. That's not a nerf. That's gutting the class. I'm not willing to go quite so far as to say that the Hero Power is overpowered but it is, clearly, the best. The Hero Power is the reason Zoo works...

    Can't really help you. On one hand if you dust him, he's a Legendary of your choice which will help you NOW. On the other hand, Golden Legendary cards are so rare it is doubtful that you'll ever see another one in a pack again. I've opened hundreds of packs at this point and only have one...

    Went ahead and crafted Al'Akir. No funsy double Rockbiter moments yet but he's solid enough. Like I said, not all Rogue decks use VanCleef and Harrison Jones can be replaced by a simple Ooze. I really like that Kibler guy's articles. He makes a lot of valid points and they're good reads...

    It's not just about the 5 win quest because I can always play Mage and finish it. It's just part of the justification I'm using to craft him.

    Rayburn, single handily, cost us that game. I don't think I've ever seen such a terrible play as that. The initial miss on catching the ball was excusable, if annoying, but spiking the ball into the ground was beyond belief. Kluber looked pissed because he was having a fantastic game up to that...

    It took me forever but I finally got a second class to level 60: Druid. I got Mage to 60 ages ago but now I've been flipping between classes so they're leveling a lot slower. My Warrior is low 50's right now and the next two levels are Yetis

    No, there's not much Zoo surprisingly enough. Instead everyone has decided to hard counter Ramp Druid for whoever knows what the fuck reason... Or so it seems to me.

    With the exception of Bennett to an extent, the Cavs picks weren't "bad" so much as they were safe. Kyrie and Tristan Thompsan were both safe picks in a pretty weak draft. I think Kyrie has the potential to be a great player now that he has some quality around him for the first time in his...

    It's not that she's hard exactly but people want to beat her without changing their normal, everyday, decks. She's very gimmicky and easy to beat but it really takes a different approach than what people are used to.

    Look at the Cavs. We've had really high picks (a lot of #1's) over the past few years. Things were supposed to have come together by now but if it wasn't for Lebron coming back, we'd be looking at another losing season with no real hope for the playoffs. Growing through the Draft is possible...

    I've said this before but it bears repeating: The thing about Zoo is that while there are some versions that are more effective than others, Zoo isn't a traditional deck but more of a mindset or playtstyle. Because of the Warlock's Hero Power, I don't think Zoo will ever go away. It's simply...

    And in the least shocking news ever, everyone now is running a card for card copy of Reynad's Zoo that he was streaming last night (modified to include 2 weblords and 2 eggs). Over the past week, I've also been seeing an annoying amount of priests. Even in ranked I simply auto-concede...

    Went through the 5 normal modes on my European F2P account. Used a "budget" Zoo for the first two bosses and my "budget" Ramp Druid for the last one. Not hard at all considering the account is missing key cards.

    The game truly is Free To Play. If you pay cash, you skip a lot of the grind but you can play and have fun without spending a dime. In fact, a lot of the fun is opening packs and seeing your collection grow and getting excited when you see a solid card you didn't have before. In your case, I...

    Mage and Priest both have some of the best basic cards and some really good common cards. Accordingly both classes do really well against similar skilled players with similar collections. Warlock Zoo deck is the cheapest competitive deck in the game but you're still going to need 1,000 dust...

    Last thing I'm gonna say on the issue is that while the Cav's front office has been incredibly inept over the past decade, the one thing they've never been afraid of is spending money or making big moves. Dan Gilbert might be a douche at times (i.e. his letter) but he's willing to spend money...

    If they sign him, they can't trade Wiggins for 30 days. So yes it could happen later but he's locked in for 30 days. Like I said, I don't oppose trading Wiggins for Love but Minnesota simply wants too much for Love. Hell I'll even throw in Waiters because Kyrie and Waiters don't get along...

    I lost one game when using my Control Warrior against Faerlina. Had way too many cards so her hero power wrecked me. Switched to aggro and she died fast. Took me less than an hour to do the normal + hero challenges. I haven't looked at Heroic mode yet. The Druid challenge was stupidly...

    I disagree because time is on our side. Minnesota is in a position where they have to trade Love or risk getting nothing for him. I think they got too greedy with their demands wanting Wiggins, Bennett, a couple 1st round picks, a new puppy and a lolly pop. If it was straight up Wiggins for...

    No Kevin Love to Cleveland, Andrew Wiggins to Stay with Cavaliers - International Business Times So it sounds like the Cavs told Minnesota to go sit and spin and that's a decision I agree with. I know a lot of analysts have said to do the trade with Wiggins for Love but I never liked that...

    Additional thoughts: Maexanna: Decent but nothing too exciting. She'll kill anything but poison minions tend to work better in theory than in practice. Mad Scientist: Great for Mages. 2/2 + a free 3 cost Secret. Even if it's random (i.e. you're playing a lot of secrets), it's a good...

    I think the biggest problem with Thaddius is that he's completely a gimmick card. You need to put two Legendary cards in your deck and make sure you draw and are able to play them. While their stats are decent, they have no other benefits other than being a body on the battlefield. If you're...

    There are some minor changes to the game. A lot more red phantoms (including some respawning red normal enemy phantoms such as spiders, dogs and crap like that). A couple of the bosses have new mechanics as well. But beyond that, not really. If you don't care about getting the platinum...

    Dude, you're preaching to the choir right now. But that doesn't change the fact that Blizzard doesn't do anything fast. Ever. Look at the gap between StarCraft and StarCraft II or Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. Or the once every 3 year WOW expansion. Blizzard has a culture of moving slow and we're...

    In their defense, a lot of the work that went into Naxx was simply creating the infrastructure to support additional adventure mode scenarios and the release of new cards.

    I'm going to offer a counter arrangement. We give you a week old meatball sandwich (from a vendor of your choice) in exchange for Love. Because if Love isn't signed by the trade deadline, you get nothing when Love walks out (which we all know he'll do). He won't go to the Lakers which is in...
