    Funny you should mention that. I'm LOVING Handlock right now and I just won against Warrior Aggro. Having a Molten Giant and Ancient Watcher as taunts pretty much shuts them down. He managed to kill both but it cost him everything he had and my 2nd Molten smashed his face in good.

    Summoned in 2 helpers and, easily, killed The Pursuer. It helped that one went straight for the crossbows and I just kept him focused on me while the other guy shot him up. The other guy died a spectacularly glorious death. The last barrage left him with the tiniest sliver of health so I ran...

    I used about half of my dust to craft Lord Jaraxxus and the 2nd Mountain Giant I was missing and put together a HandLock deck. Very happy with the results so far. I can see how Tink would be useful in Control Warrior decks (like with Brawl and mentioned above) but, overall, I'd rather have...

    UPS sucks dick where I live and I didn't get my copy until 6:30pm last night. Tuesday being "new release" day is always like that for me. Other days UPS will be here by 2pm but not on a Tuesday with high profile releases. Anyway... The Pursuer sucks ass. I've only been stuck on him for...

    I'm, definitely, disenchanting my Tinkmaster. Still on the fence about Nat. It isn't as severe a nerf but, like I said earlier, beginning of turn and end of turn are miles apart.

    Hearthstone

    Tinkmaster is completely worthless now. The Pagle nerf isn't as harsh but the beginning of a turn and the end of a turn are miles apart. Early in the game, it won't matter as much because he's tough to remove. Mid-game he's worthless unless you're already winning. Not happy about either...

    And that is why Hunter is simply retarded. I don't think they're OP but I think they're as "unfun" as you can get. Win or lose (especially lose), Hunters are not fun to play against at all.

    It always amuses me how delusional the "PC Master Race" people are. While PCs may be "better" for gaming, Consoles aren't going anywhere and are just as popular today as they were years ago. But keep telling yourself that console gaming is dying if it helps you sleep better at night...

    I think I'm just getting bored with the game but each Ranked season is getting more and more frustrating for me. I know a part of it is that people are getting better cards at this game and getting better cards to go along with that. Right now 95% of the decks you face are Hunter Rush or...

    I have this irrational perception that Priest players throw together a deck without regard to how crappy it really is because their goal is to simply use their opponent's deck against them. Like I said, their cards aren't OP but it's not fun to be playing against a Priest and dealing with...

    I made a deck with 28 taunts in it once. Biggest problem was the lack of card draw but when it worked it was beautiful. I can just imagine how frustrating it must be for the other player to see taunt after taunt go down and never be able to hit the face. My current deck that I play just...

    Black Knight, Tinkmaster or Alexstrasza? I say Tinkmaster. He's useful in a lot of decks and functions as removal for big, powerful, minions where a 5/5 is easier to deal with. In other words, I'm 99% sure I just played against a Bot in Casual mode. It was a Rogue and it went for the face...

    Today is just weird all around. I was playing ranked and 3 different players used one of the following: Mind Control Techs... Actually destroyed me since I was running Murlock and never saw them coming. But who the fuck runs MCT? Guess a streamer popped some in to stop aggro decks or...

    Last night I made it halfway through rank 9. Today I dropped down to rank 11 and am hovering at low stars rank 10. I think I've discovered my problem though. I've been playing in the mid-afternoon between classes and, I'm guessing, there is a much more hardcore crowd around this time of day...

    I honestly think the class that comes closest to being overpowered is Shaman. You didn't see them at all before the Mage nerfs because Mages hard-countered them. However, since Mage is no longer viable Shaman are now everywhere and I simply cannot beat them. It doesn't matter what type of...

    I've been trying a few different aggro decks including aggro paladin and UTH Huntard. The one I've settled on is MurLock. I love the synergy with the murlocs and I am able to consistently get turn 5 or 6 wins. I haven't been playing nearly as much as I used to but was able to go from rank 15...

    Al'Akir might not be the best Legendary but he's actually starting to see a lot of play in Shaman decks. Shaman have some amazing burst potential and having a minion come preloaded with Charge and Windfury opens up some really powerful combos. Toss on a couple of Rockbiters and he can do a...

    Been playing Reynad's TryHarder deck (Variant of the deck that he used to get to Legend as a "F2P" player). It's brutally effective and I've went from rank 18 to 14 in about an hour with very few losses. Games take like 5 minutes.

    You can tell that today is the last day of the season because ranked is nothing but Aggro "TO THE FACE" decks. People who couldn't get to Legend before think they can play an aggro deck and get there in less than 24 hours I guess...

    Only rank 9 this season. I really didn't try as hard this time around. The Mage nerfs, in particular, sapped a lot of the fun I was having with the game. I still play a few games a day to complete the daily and farm up some gold but I've cut WAY back.

    Damn Shaman are stupid sometimes. I was playing against a Priest. The only thing I had on the board was a 4/1 Yeti and he had a clear board. He had just holy fired my Fire Elemental and healed himself to 25. What do I do? Double Rockbiter, the Yeti, Windfury him and hit him in the face for...

    Hearthstone

    That's actually a pretty solid Warrior deck concept. There's nothing subtle about it but the best, cheap, decks aren't subtle. Aggro "TO THE FACE" decks are always a lot cheaper than solid control decks which require very specific pieces (often including Legendary cards) to work properly...

    With my current Paladin deck, Shaman are my toughest matchup. They've really hid below the radar for a long time. I personally think it's because Mages hard counter Shaman and now that Mages don't exist any more, we're seeing a lot of really good Shaman decks. I can be playing against a...

    Holy shit. I'm going second so I have the coin. Turn 1: He passes. I cast Mind Vision and draw Lord Jaraxxus! Fast Forward Turn 10: He casts Jaraxxus and hits me. I cast Jaraxxus and coin out an Infernal. I won a turn or two later

    I don't mind if Blizzard adjusts cards for balance purposes. My, fundamental, problem with Blizzard's approach to balance is that they've admitted that changes aren't done based on statistics or analysis of what is really overpowered or not. They balance around "fun" and making the game...

    Ice Barrier is only triggered on direct attacks (from a minion or a hero with a weapon). Other sources of damage will not trigger it. Finally, it goes without saying, that if the Barrier is already up, it will absorb additional armor charges regardless of the source of damage.

    Also you can tell that Open Beta has started and that there are a LOT of new players coming in based on the upswing of "Mages are OP" posts over on the forums...

    The first thing I do with any match up is to squelch my opponent regardless of who they are. In your case, you spend the last turn spamming "I'm Sorry" over and over again until the timer is about to run out and then hit him for lethal.

    The devilsaurs are just a bit more memorable. Especially the ones that cost you the game. Still though, I love Tink and am glad I crafted him. He's just so useful as Legendary removal. Especially Tirion, Ragnaros, Ysera and so on. Basically any time a 5/5 is better than what you're...
