    Just out of curiosity, I've been keeping track of my Tinkmaster's proc. Small sample size of course but after 21 uses I have turned 11 minions into 1/1 squirrels and 10 minions into 5/5 devilsaurs.

    Paladins can demolish hunter decks too. Just pack some heals and taunts. Keep his board clear and don't overuse your hero power. I'd say I win about 75% with paladin vs. hunter. I really only lose when RNG screws me over worse than usual.

    I can't bring myself to disenchant my Sylvanas. She was the first Legendary I crafted but beyond sentimental reasons, she's still pretty good in control decks. I've had many occasions, even post nerf, where she has traded 3 for 1 and that says value to me.

    Right now I'd say my toughest match up, bar none, is Shaman. Blizzard's "balance" philosophy of nerfing "unfun" has left Shaman is a really strong state as a lot of their counters are gone now (like Mages for instance which hard countered the entire class). They just do Control REALLY well...

    Wanted to go on record and say that I'm sick of Leeroy Fucking Jenkins. Apparently he's now an "auto-include" in every deck now regardless of what the deck is attempting to do.

    I played a Mage on Turn 2 who dropped a Sorcerer's Apprentice and then coined out Arcane Explosion to clear my already empty board. I assume he thought that Arcane Explosion would hurt me directly.

    I think that Blizzard programer's are far more clever and sophisticated than we give them credit for. For example, it seems that there is code built in where when I spend a lot of dust, the next week of packs will contain absolutely nothing of value what so ever...

    Actually not. All 3 stages can have viable decks built around them. And while you can tinker a bit, it tends to be that early game decks are aggro rush and late game are control oriented but there have been some very successful mix ups. For example, prior to the last set of nerfs, one of...

    Right now Hunter is the best aggro class in the game. The core relies on the following: 2x Tracking 2x Explosive Trap 2x Misdirection 2x Eaglehorn Bow 2x Unleash The Hounds 2x Timber Wolves 2x Leper Gnomes 2x Ironbeak Owls 2x Bluegill Warrior 2x Wolfrider The rest can be played...

    Awesome. Deranked to 14. Right now I only see 2 decks. Hunter "go for the face" and Shaman. That's it.

    Today is Shaman day. I'm guessing they counter Hunter decks hard because I'm seeing a ton of them. They're annoying as fuck because I can be at 22 health and still get bursted to death in one round.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Went by a Gamestop today near Cleveland, Ohio. They actually had quite a few of all the major systems. XBones, PS4's and Wii U's (for the two people who might still want one).

    Hearthstone

    It'll take some time for you to get all the pieces in place but your deck will, eventually, be able to counter Hunter Rush pretty well. Especially once you get the 2nd Ancient of Lore for heals. Also consider Earthen Ring Farseers for a bit more healing. And as The Master mentioned, Defender...

    You probably already know this but you'll want to replace the 2 Ironbarks with the 2 Ancients you're missing. They're a lot better due to the, slightly, lower cost and the fact that they're immune to Big Game Hunter. I love Ancient of Lore's healing ability and I use that 75% of the time (I...

    Yes! Fought the Warlock Giants deck! - He played Ancient Watcher and Sunfury. I Black Knighted it. - 4/8 Twilight Drake? Equality and a squire took care of him. - He played a Mountain Giant, I got lucky and my Rag one shot it with a 50/50 chance. - I played Alexstrasza and hit him with...

    God I hate Priests. I just beat one with my new Paladin but it was annoying as all fuck. 2 Thoughtsteals which stole Sylvanas and other stuff. 2 Mind Visions which stull a Tinkmaster. I dropped Rag for the 8 points of damage and, of course he was Mind Controlled (fully expected of course...

    Dumped my dust finally. Got REALLY sick of seeing Giants decks so I crafted my dream Paladin deck. Created Tirion, Tinkmaster and a Big Game Hunter to fit into it. It's VERY Legendary heavy but the first game I tried it against was a Warlock Giant deck and I demolished him.

    By the way, I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money (because I realize that, despite what people want you to believe, not everyone on Rerolled has tons of disposable income), but after a week or two, dropping 50 bucks on the 40 boosters isn't a bad way to go. People constantly...

    Mage and Priest are really OP at low end ranks and against other new players. Both classes have really strong basic sets with a lot of synergy and annoyance factor. Warlock is the cheapest class to make a competitive deck with. While Legendary cards help (a lot), Warlock doesn't need to...

    They didn't fix the minion swapping bug completely but it looks like they identified the issue that made it worse since the patch and addressed that. So minions still swap around but not as badly as immediately after the patch.

    I'm missing today's daily. Normally they show up in my log by the time I get up. Yesterday I got one no problem (and despite only being 40 gold I didn't try to exchange it) but haven't received today's yet. I know they're bugged so just relating my experiences.

    I know netdecking is Morrow's favorite subject but both Kungen and Reckful were both streaming Hunter rush decks yesterday so you're going to be seeing a LOT of them over the next day or two until the streamers move on to something else. Strifecro's anti-aggro deck does pretty good against...

    Hearthstone

    I don't, inherently, disagree about not netdecking. The problem is that the pros develop a really good deck and everyone rushes out and netdecks it. A lot of people just take the path of least resistance and copy the deck card for card. Why? Because that deck has been proven to work. I've...

    Small sample size of course, but early indications are that most of us are correct: Druids are now the go to class. I've just played variants of Strifecro's deck 5 out of 6 times. I've got the dust to craft a Warlock Giants deck which stomps (ha ha) Strifecro's deck hard but not wanting to...

    I'm actually not too unhappy with the Blood Imp changes. I hate to say it, but the mechanic is much more "fun" than it was before. It's "fun" ending the turn and watching random minions life pop up. And the 320 dust from finally dumping my 8 didn't hurt either.

    I think it's ironic. Back on page 128 we were debating about the usefulness of Nat Pagle. Our thoughts ran from complete trash to situationally decent. Today, if you listen to people, he's now the most OP Legendary in existence since the dawn of time! (Assuming the dawn of time started...

    Thalnos was a good choice. I use him more than Rag myself. Ragnaros wouldn't have been a wrong choice though.

    Hearthstone

    Depends on what you play. Both are really good though and you won't go wrong with either. For what it's worth, I think Thalnos is more useful but Ragnaros has a more noticeable impact on the game. Thalnos is subtle. You don't realize it at first but when you look back you'll realize that...

    An issue with Arena is that all of the "bads" quit doing it. It gets really frustrating to constantly get less than 3 wins so if you are one of those people who can't get more, you will eventually quit. I tend to do my daily and grind some extra wins. Up until now I've been averaging a pack...

    Nhyx: "Nat Pagle officially OP now." Specialist: "This may be part of Blizzard's evil scheme to make people buy more packs to obtain Nat Pagle." Oddly enough one of the first things I did was to swap him into my Druid deck and I've been seeing him a LOT since the patch was announced.
