    The deck is solid but I still need some practice with it. I'm also playing in "casual" mode which, as you all know, is anything but casual. The decks in casual mode are super competitive and some are a little goofy as people are trying things out without risking their rank. The one nice thing...

    The Warlock Aggro deck and the Warlock board control deck are very similar. They both share a lot of base cards (Blood Imps, Flame Imps, Void Walkers, Knife Jugglers and so on). However, there are differences between the two decks. Board Control favors Sylvanas more than Leeroy as an example...

    Holy fuck. Curis Board Control Warlock v2 This is, by far, one of the roughest decks I have ever seen. I've only lost with it once out of about 6 games due to getting a really bad opening hand (which is statistically unlikely but as we all know there is a probability greater than zero)...

    I really like Noxious and I think he might be what you're looking for. He doesn't stream very often but he's got a huge library of youtube videos with guides and advice. In particular his Randuin series is pure awesome (Priest deck with every single card that has a "random" effect on it). One...

    This warlock deck? (edit: the "slow" warlock deck) EU Legend #1 Kolento Part I The base website is a good one to keep your eye on. You get an idea of what the top players are playing and, by association, what everyone else is playing after they copy the deck.

    It happened! Someone silenced my Ragnaros! Used him to smash the 4/6 bear taunter in the face, dropped an Earthen Ring Farseer and then he had to swipe twice to kill it off. It was a glorious blaze of glory (pun intended). 8 damage to the face, a wasted silence, a 4/6 and 2 swipes. Nice bit...

    I think something that is happening with the Casual mode is people are prepping for the next ranked season and playtesting decks that are super competitive so they can get all of the kinks worked out now. I know that's what I'm doing and it's pretty discouraging to see decks I thought would...

    My casual MMR must have gotten fairly high because I am facing some ridiculous decks in it. I'm talking decks with 5+ Legendary cards in it played by people who know what they're doing (i.e. rarely make obvious mistakes). I like Ranked mode but I've decided to not play it until they reset it...

    Totally random. Also, you can finish the quest against the AI opponents (I think it's the only quest you can).

    That's something that really annoys me with this Beta. It's a fun game but the communication to the testers (and everyone else) is pretty miserable. We really don't have a good idea of what Blizzard is thinking in terms of balance and they change dates of things at the drop of a hat (such as...

    He's not great but he's not terrible. I doubt I'll get a lot of mileage out of him but I'm a bit leery on disenchanting Legendary cards (though I had no issue of disenchanting 2 of my 3 Malygos). We'll see. I'm a bit low on dust right now and don't have a ton of other cards I want to...

    Yay! My 100 gold pack had Nat Pagle in it! I know he's extremely situational but some decks really like him. I don't think I'm going to be too quick to disenchant him just yet.

    It's funny. I keep saying "Nope, not going to spend any more money on this game." A week will go buy and I'm all "fuck it, what's another $20?"

    I am now sitting on a total of 6 Blood Imps after a really bad Arena run... There is no point in disenchanting the extras now for 20 dust. I'm simply banking on the fact that he will get nerfed and I'll be able to cash in on 160 dust! Oh the rare cards I'll be able to craft!

    Splitting post because this is completely unrelated to the last post: At any rate, I'm really liking my Druid deck. It is VERY powerful and able to keep my opponent locked down pretty well. I've also created my own spin on the aggro mage and that's been working out REALLY well too. The...

    I've mentioned this before but right now I'm sitting on the following: 1 extra Defender of Argus 2 extra Iceblocks 3! extra Blood Imps (common so not too hard to get a bunch) I fully expect one more round of "balancing" to be done prior to open beta or shortly after. After that it will...

    Dark Souls 2

    There is plenty of lore in the games but it's not spoon fed to you. Though in Demons Souls the lore wasn't nearly as compelling. I never really felt threatened by the Old One but the world was simply amazing. Dark Souls has a more robust story with a lot of elements to it. Also, the voice...

    I've seen quite a few variants of that aggro mage deck. When it works, it works very well. The weird thing to me though is that I have no trouble against it with my aggro warlock deck.

    I binged a little bit and bought 30 packs. The bad news is that I only got 1 Legendary out of that. The even worse news is that 1 Legendary was Malygos (which makes my 3rd of him). However, I was able to disenchant a bunch of stuff and I ended up crafting Ragnaros, The Black Knight and...

    I capped out at rank 6 and decided to just stop there. In my opinion the new ranking system has good points and bad points. The good is that it is far more robust than the old system where anyone could, eventually, be a 3 star masters player. With lots of ranks you get a much better idea of...

    Murlocks aren't a problem for me with a traditional warlock aggro deck. Murlocks seem to focus on lots of cheap Murlocs to rush down their opponent fast (using Murloc synergy). The board looks scary at first but as soon as the core components start getting knocked out, the deck falls flat on...

    Woot! I just opened my second Malygos. Kind of happy about that since I disenchanted the first to push me to 1600 dust for my Sylvanas. He's VERY situational but I'm starting to see a lot of Druids playing him. Yesterday I got a Gold Force of Nature. That can disenchant for 800 Dust. So...

    Yeah, I lost to it the first time I played against it because I had never seen a Warrior running Thalnos so I wasn't sure what the hell was going on. Once the first giant hit the board, I knew I lost and what I had done wrong.

    I'm trying to decide what direction I want to go next. Currently I have a full Mage set (minus 1 Spellbinder so meh) and my Warlock Aggro Rush deck (minus Leeroy to completely optimize it). I really like Paladin decks but they are VERY expensive and I'd need to craft the 2 guys who reduce...

    Good news is that today I got a 60 gold daily. Bad news is that it's the Hunter/Druid one (by far my worst decks). I'm sure everyone does this too but I abandon any 40 gold daily regardless of what it is. Worst case I end up with another 40 gold daily and lost nothing. I keep all 60 gold...

    I'm having much better results with the Warlock aggro deck. Especially in mirror matches. Too many people play warlock aggro with the mindset of "throw everything down and then aim it at the opposing player's face and whoever runs out of life first loses." I've been playing much more...

    Sen's Fortress is the first really difficult area of the game. After you open it up the game takes a pretty big jump up in difficulty. Personally I liked Demons Souls better myself. Dark Souls was a bit deeper (and a lot larger) but I felt that Dark Souls was "cheap" whereas in Demons Souls...

    The problem with Rush decks are that they are extremely difficult to actually counter. While not every rush game wins on turn 5 or 6, enough do that Mage Control simply can't keep up. Pre-nerf, when I went second as a Mage, two cards I always kept were Frostbolt and Blizzard. A turn 4 Coin +...

    The game is not very friendly for brand new players. My only advice is to make sure you do all of the hidden achievements which can net you about 1,000 easy gold. Then either spend that money on packs, run Arena or a combination of both. Also remember that your first Arena is free (so a free...

    Also something I noticed. Even though it only affected Freeze spells, I NEVER see Mages in ranked anymore. I mean zero. Prior to the nerf every other match was a mage but now they are ALL gone. Currently I see a lot of Warlocks, a lot of Druids, a few Paladins, a couple of Rogues and...

    The Power Overwhelming + Sylvanas combo is a lot of fun. I played Sylvanas when my opponent had a clear board (I know there are pros and cons of doing this but it felt like the right move). My opponent thought he'd be cute and dropped a Faceless Manipulator and chooses my Sylvanas as the...
