    Dawn of War 3

    Dark Crusade was super fun, and was generally a very well balanced campaign. Soulstorm was a half-assed, poorly balanced shadow of Dark Crusade, probably because THQ gave the project to Iron Lore instead of letting Relic do it. Iron Lore being pretty much the only THQ studio that was closed due...

    Pretty sure it was me and boy was I ever dead wrong. I didn't think ravaging ghoul was very good when it was first spoiled, but the card is amazing and maybe even wild playable. Best warrior card of the set by miles. In fact, I'd say it's the second strongest warrior card released after classic...

    Finally got N'Zoth priest off the ground. My problem was I was focusing too much on deathrattles, trying to force it into sort of a beatdown deck. I went back to the drawing board and made it closer to traditional control priest, because you only need a couple deathrattles for N'Zoth to be a...

    Although I agree. Kind of annoying to sit there playing hero power pass against someone when they'll fatigue out 10 turns before I do.

    Midrange shaman doesn't run away with games the way aggro does, but it's much more consistent and doesn't run out of steam like aggro does. Jesus fucking christ zoo is so goddamn broken, no matter how you build it. Just had some dude kill a sea giant, justicar, and auchenai while still...

    Dawn of War 3

    I loved DoW2 and Chaos Rising. Retribution was a gigantic ripoff. I mean, I didn't really expect a full unique campaign for every single race, but they completely phoned that shit in. Each race got 2 slightly unique missions, every other campaign mission was shared. But honestly, DoW 2, at...

    Having worked in QA myself, there is no way the mirror entity and scaled nightmare bugs should have made it past testing, totally basic shit. The other ones are exactly the kind of oddball ones that slip through, especially that retarded one where forlorn stalker buffs tentacles (and I assume...

    I don't see how the mirror entity one could have possibly made it past QA. I'm gonna try that ancient harbinger one though, looks funny.

    It's also crazy good for smoothing out your curve. Rogue never has turn 1 plays, and not only does this give you something to do immediately, it also helps you make sure you either have drops on the turns you need them. It's also good for teching a deathrattle that's really good in your current...

    Journey Below is so obscenely good I'm tempted to run two of them in a Reno/Zoth deck.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Tyrion himself offered a plausible alternative, they're intelligent enough to know he was there to help them. I mean I'm not saying he can't be a Targ, but some of y'all seem like you're approaching Woolygimp levels of convinced based on a bunch of circumstantial evidence. *edit* Also...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Tyrion is useful in many ways, and appears to be pretty firmly loyal to Danaerys, even if it's mainly so he can go back and spit in Jaime and Cersei's faces. Who cares if he's a disgraced kinslayer back in Westeros? He doesn't have to be a Targaryen bastard for Varys to want to keep him around.

    Not that I really support the Tyrion - Targ theory, but as much as they got around, there could be a whole slew of Targ bastards.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I imagine Ramsay feeding Walda to his dogs will piss off House Frey in a big way. Not that Walder really gave a shit about Walda (or any of his family) but this at least as much of an insult as Robb breaking their marriage agreement, if not more.

    He wasn't saying it was. He was saying flamewreathed is too much of a tempo loss when you play it against aggro.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Per GRRM polygamy is forbidden by the faith of the seven. The Targs got away with it back when they still had dragons because nobody could tell them what to do, but when the dragons died so did their ability to take multiple wives. Jon is a bastard no matter who his father is.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well I was right, Roose died like a bitch. I mean, Roose has been portrayed as very cold and calculating, he knows his son is a mad dog, but he still hugs him and then looks surprised when Ramsay murders him right after it gets announced that Walda had a boy? Didn't Ramsay already murder his...

    excavated evil is generally better imo. Keeps argus from buffing stuff out of range and gives the hardcore aggro decks a chance at a relatively dead topdeck.

    Sorry, in retrospect I realize I was being a dick. What I meant was, how does the deck win? I've been tinkering with lock and load both before and after whispers, and my experience has generally been that it's just a midrange hunter deck that accomplishes absolutely nothing in a very flashy way...

    Mulligan for war axe, bash, and slam against everyone. Mulligan for brawl against shaman, warrior, warlock, rogue, and hunter. Mulligan for Justicar against warrior, priest, and paladin. Mulligan for revenge/ghoul against warlock and paladin, but don't keep 2 whirlwind effects in your opening...

    Yeah you really have to aggressively mulligan for the right cards with this deck since it has no card draw. I wrote a guide for the deck on the competitivehs reddit. Last minute legend with fatigue warrior : CompetitiveHS

    You can't rely entirely on board clears against zoo because of their hero power unless you have a LOT of board clears. If you rely too much on board clears then they'll maintain board control and keep chipping damage in, so when you do get your board clear you'll have an empty board and they'll...

    Recreating my fatigue warrior list for standard has been a chore, it really got gutted by the rotation, but I think I'm back on the right track with it. Losing death's bite hurt every kind of warrior, but my fatigue list was heavily centered on outlasting your opponent and the double whammy of...
