    Yeah, it delays Miracle Rogue by a full turn if you have him in hand. Turn 5: Rogue plays Auctioneer and coins out Conceal (or preps out conceal). Turn 6: Drop Loatheb, Rogue is very limited with what they can do and if they don't have another conceal (which is going to eat the entire turn...

    Loatheb: Legendary, Minion, Mana Cost 5, Attack 5, Health 5 Battlecry: Enemy spells cost (5) more next turn. Not a bad card really. It's a 5/5 minion for 5 with a decent battlecry. Play it against a Mage and it delays Flamestrike by a turn and makes cheap removal prohibitively expensive...

    Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I kid... I kid... Pen and Paper works just as well! I think that Hearthstats has a downloadable program that will track things for you but I've never played with it.

    My original 60GB, fully backwards compatible, PS3 died yesterday. I knew it was a matter of time because after about half an hour of playing, it sounded like a fighter jet was taking off next door. Even though money is pretty tight right now, I went out and picked up the 500GB Last of Us...

    I'm interested to see how Kyrie Irving plays when he's on a contending team. He's a legitimately good player but I want to see if he has what it takes to be great. I'm also not too thrilled with the idea of trading Wiggins for Love. Wiggins is young but he has a TON of potential...

    Control Warrior has no problems with Freeze Mage at all. Ramp Druid also does pretty well too. I love getting hit by Alexstrasza and only have 29 health left afterward with all my stacked armor.

    Cavs signed Mike Miller for a 2 year (1 year opt out clause). He took less money than others were offering but wanted to be reunited with Lebron.

    I think the whole "PC Master Race" thing is stupid myself. While the games might perform better on a high end gaming PC, the majority of sales are still on consoles. Look at Titanfall as an example. One of the primary complaints from the PC owners is that the playerbase is tiny. The same...

    Salary cap rules and collective bargaining agreements are changing in 2016 so Lebron wanted the shorter contract for the ability to renegotiate at a higher rate when that happens. According to reports from him, his plans are to stay in Cleveland long term but he wants to stay in Cleveland...

    Mike Brown was a mistake. I think there were good intentions with hiring him back but he simply didn't work out. Obviously Blatt is an unknown but I think he shows some promise. We'll really have to see with him though. I also think Griffin shows a lot more promise as GM than most of his...

    If you like traditional JRPGs, Wild Arms and Wild Arms 2 are actually pretty good if a bit dated (remember they were PSX games). But both had pretty interesting stories and are, easily, worth 99 cents a piece.

    So from what I'm reading about raids and strikes and whatnot, it seems like community is going to be a big part of this game. This seems to be the mythical FPS/MMO hybrid that the market has been waiting for. So if I don't have a clan and am not really interested in joining/creating one...

    Spoelstra never impressed me as a coach. In fact I think he's pretty bad. He's just been very fortunate to have a stacked team to do all of the heavy lifting for him. Coaching isn't hard when all you have to say is "go score some points guys." I'm actually interested to see how he does this...

    As a Clevelander it's a mixed bag for me. It's absolutely true that most of us weren't upset with him leaving (even if the Cavs have been unwatchable the last few seasons) but it was HOW he left that angered us. It was a debacle. Personally I don't care for the guy but I have to acknowledge...

    They also announced that golden naxx cards will only be obtained by crafting them with dust. The reasoning is that testers felt heroic naxx was too hard and they felt it would be difficult, if not impossible, for some people to obtain golden cards through heroic mode as initially planned.

    700G per wing isn't that bad. I was expecting around 3,000G for the whole thing so I wasn't too far off. While it might be "cheaper" to buy it with real money and not gold, I have no use for gold but can always use more cash so I'll drop my gold on Naxx.

    I honestly forgot that the original zoo deck included flame imps. For some reason I thought they were a recent addition to make it more aggressive.

    Hearthstone

    Keep in mind that Zoo has changed quite a bit since Reynad first started to play it. The original version was very much a board control / tempo / whatever you want to call it. The whole concept was to use minions that were hard to deal with and make efficient trades. That's why there are so...

    It depends. All 4 are good choices but of those you listed (and didn't list) I'd rank them as follows: 1. Thalnos 2. The Black Knight 3. Alexstrasza 4. Ysera 5. Sylvanas Thalnos is just too good. It feels weird spending all of that dust on a 1/1 buy he has paid for himself many times...

    I've only played against Freeze Mage while using Warrior Control or Ramp Druid. Both are heavily favored and I actually have never lost to it yet (and I don't say that lightly or to brag because I've played enough games where I've beaten and been beat by pretty much every deck type out there)...

    Finished Dark Souls one again and I accomplished my, personal, goal of killing all of the bosses solo (in fairness, this time I killed the Gargoyles with Solaire but I've killed them quite a few times solo and I wanted the medal). As I raged above, Manus was, by far, my hardest boss. No...

    I agree completely and I think you said it better than I did. Dark Souls 1 is a VERY good game and I do love it, but it also has quite a few flaws. With that being said, Manus is now dead. I went in with a new strategy but, even more importantly, he did a perfect sequence of attacks where I...

    5,000 gold banked right now. Naxx pricing can't come soon enough... As soon as I know how much Naxx costs, I'll spend down to the point where I can pay for all of Naxx and then start saving again. I really don't need much but I am still missing a few Legendary and Epic cards and Golden...

    Manus is, easily, the most frustrating boss I've fought in a Souls game. I can reliably get him down to the 60% mark when he starts to use Dark Magic and then I die. I've learned how to dodge every single attack except the Dark Volley. As soon as he uses that, I'm fucked. The Pendant is...

    I've been going through the DLC area of Dark Souls and good lord is it tough to the point of absurdity. I saved the area for last (the only thing I have left to do in the main game is fight Lord Gwyn) so I'm "level appropriate." There are 3 bosses and all 3 are stupidly aggressive and stupidly...

    Gotcha. I didn't realize that "double combo" was literal and meant 2 copies of Savage Roar + Force of Nature. I was thinking it was one of those combos and another combo. Thanks.

    What's the core of the double combo Druid deck (or a link to the actual deck would be fantastic)? I'm not sure that I've stumbled across it yet? Thanks.

    Just drop your sign in front of the tough bosses. Smelter Demon is a really good choice because people have a hard time with him and will, almost always, summon to make the fight easier.

    Best I did this season was 4 stars into Rank 5. Then I got some non-optimal dailies and did them in ranked and went down to rank 6. Rank, literally, doesn't matter unless you want the Legendary card back so I'd rather have wins toward a Golden Portrait than do the dailies in casual (even if...
