    Hey I played it for 4 whole games, most of which I got bad draws. That's more than enough data to form a permanent opinion about a deck!!! Although really I think the problem was I was the one getting bad matchups. Deck gets hosed pretty hard by renolock.

    lol the deck is trash. Xixo must have gotten a ridiculous streak of lucky matches.

    Uh, if you're playing Varian you definitely build the deck around him, lol.

    Varian will be worth another look in standard but yeah I don't see him working there either.

    The fact that warlock is still going to be able to do fuckloads of damage from hand when they've nerfed almost every other form of burst is pretty goddamn gay. Playing zoo for the first month or two should be an easy ticket to legendary.

    I definitely would cut something for a second shield slam and gorehowl. I'd probably also cut the acolytes for shield blocks and the whirlwinds for revenges. Basically I think you've gone just a little too all-in on C'thun here. If you want to stick with such a creature/whirlwind heavy theme...

    The sky isn't falling. The main reason TGT made such a small impact is because of how overpowered the GvG set was. With GvG rotating out and the game slowing down a bit, people will be taking a second look at inspire. How exactly are C'thun minions uniformly bad? Beckoner and Twilight Elder both...

    Hearthstone

    Eh, warriors dont get a class card that buff's cthun, so you're stuck running all the neutral cthun minions, at which point you're playing an aggressive midrange deck with cthun as a finisher, not a control deck. Druid definitely has the best cthun minions, so we'll see how they're sitting in...

    Only good fight on that card is the HW title. Belfort, Shogun, and Silva are kinda sad now that they can't juice anymore, Maia is a one dimensional putz, and I'm surprised Cyborg can even pass a chromosome test, much less a steroid test.

    jesus christ nothing but paladins, druids, and midrange hunters tonight. Really need to give up on control warrior.

    Hearthstone

    jesus fucking christ druid cannot get nerfed soon enough. Nothing like getting comboed for 40 damage because you finally weren't able to keep the board clear for a turn.

    You really are dumb as fuck. I never said Snoke couldn't possibly be Plagueis, I simply refuted your nonsensical garbage about it being impossible for him to be anybody else.

    Yes, for all intensive porpoises a card that gets hexed or polymorphed is exiled.

    It's not all that different from the mech theme of GvG, although I admit it's sorta weird to have them all tying in to one legendary. It doesn't really compare to TGT and inspire since inspire is so much more generic.

    I kinda want to try Rogue C'thun. That blade of c'thun may be slow as fucking balls, but damn that's a powerful effect.

    So on a note completely unrelated to the whispers reveals, I decided I wanted to grind to 5 before the chaos of next week. Playing fatigue warrior, my last three matchups were druid, druid, midrange pal. Pretty sure the matchmaking system itself was conspiring against me, but I won all three...

    Hearthstone

    Changing blade flurry to minion only would have sufficed. They didn't need to double the mana cost on top of that. Koyuki mentioned something in his stream that I agreed with, it's actually a triple nerf if you count each point of casting cost increase as a separate nerf, which you really...

    Hearthstone

    I'm guessing standard Renolock will be running Jaraxxus on top of Leeroy combo too, gives you a much better win condition against warriors, and with a presumably slower meta you can afford to be greedy. Wonder how many warriors will be running frost giant burst as their finisher. It's terrible...

    Freeze mage is in a precarious position in standard. Yeah, they haven't lost much, but what they did lose is a pretty big deal. Losing mad scientist means you're not only missing out on deck thinning, you also have to actually pay the mana cost to play your secrets, which will slow down your...

    Speaking of mods, I have an infantry irregular (lucubrations infantry mod) with over 100% crit chance on flanked targets. The irregular colonel perk is fire for effect, which is a 4 turn cooldown aoe rifle shot, about the size of a normal thrown grenade. The irregular major perk, escape and...

    Might be slowing down too much, although I guess that's a welcome change from the balls to the wall meta we've had for so long now. I predict Reno being pretty dominant in both standard and wild with druid getting gutted so hard.

    Just beat a mage who cast reno 5 times. he had to be so goddamn salty.

    Hearthstone

    You are significantly weakening almost all of your matchups to try and improve a single unfavorable matchup, a matchup that will still be unfavorable even with that change. If you're running into a lot of druids, just play something else. Druid will always be heavily favored against Reno.

    Hearthstone

    Heh. I mean, it's a solid card that didn't fit into the existing playstyle of druid, but going forward, I think they're going to need that silver bullet removal. So by post-nerf standards, it will be a good card, not just a playable one.

    I mean I could see an argument for continuing to run 1, but absolutely no way would you run 2 now that it's a 4/2 for 5.

    I'm getting 7160 dust from disenchanting everything. oh baby. Speculating about standard, zoo isn't really losing their burst, they can still blast you with 13 from hand if they have a minion on the board. Although with all the deathrattles rotating out, who knows if they'll still be favorable...

    About the only nerf I have a serious problem with is blade flurry. Why the fuck would you double the casting cost AND make it only hit minions? Fucking retards.

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! Just got sacrificial pact from Saraad against a Renolock, but he was a fucking dumbass and overdrew his Jaraxxus because he wasn't paying attention to his hand size. Jimmies set to maximum rustle :-/

    The primary mission was definitely to save the ethereals. I mean yeah apparently there's something worse out there, but if the ethereals die it's game over no matter what.

    Unless gamepedia is missing a bunch of new cards, there have been 4 neutrals and 3 class cards spoiled so far. 7 cards out of a 134 card set sure is way too many. Anyway, I love me some reno priest.

    XCOM 2

    I've generally been under the impression that they aren't an empire, they're a single large group that moves from civilization to civilization trying to find the key to saving the ethereals. At least the new EW/EU continuity, obviously the aliens in the original and apocalypse were an empire.
