    J49: An Erotic Life

    I used to love this thread but now it kinda freaks me out to see just how scummy the dregs of western society can be. By which I mean Johnny, not his victims.

    Well, freeze mage is losing very little from the standard rotation, so regardless of what comes out in Whispers, Freeze is gaining a lot of power relative to the meta. On the other hand, control warrior, while losing some key cards to the rotation, still has a lot of powerful tools, their worst...

    lol, no. I've won after getting my secrets flared. The difference between destroyed and stolen is monumental.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I've loved him ever since I saw him in that god awful Dark is Rising movie adaptation. He was also the voice of Tai Lung in Kung Fu Panda.

    If you're putting MC down solo you're probably already losing badly anyway. Secret paladin would be badly hurt just from losing avenge, even if it was keeping muster and minibot.

    The commandatar doesn't even begin to compare to a fully trained Psi-Op. You get one permanent mind control instead of an unlimited number of temporary ones, your void rift can cause secondary affects including rupture and mind control, you project an aura that cures/makes people immune to...

    Eater is much stronger against secret pally obviously, but I would say stealing a secret is stronger against freeze mage and hunter. Curious to see how much Eater (and Whispers in general) affects Wild. Eating 4 secrets with that bad boy in response to a turn 6 challenger gives you a 6/8, 3...

    Hearthstone

    Would be sorta interesting. I assume it would have to be either a hero replacement legend like Jaraxxus or something that changes your hero power like Shadowform. Probably a hero replacement legend since it wouldn't make much sense for Magni to be getting corrupted. Maybe have his hero power...

    Well I think it's more that they have to be super careful about giving hunter more aggro tools. Doesn't take much to flip the deck from shit tier to top tier.

    If we're generating odds on a deadpool, we really need to know what kind of life insurance policy J52 has.

    Well he's arguably better than Troggzor since your opponent has to give you at least one dude unless they can kill him with something like swd/siphon. And if you can't kill him in a single hit he gets even better. This might be standard playable considering how much power is rotating out...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    The funny thing is MCU Quicksilver had a perfectly reasonable power level, there really was no reason to kill him off. XMen Quicksilver is a god on earth and I'm sure they're going to have to divert him with something to explain why he doesn't single handedly save the day.

    Scanning protocol shouldn't activate a pod. But yeah I don't think it's very good, maybe if it had unlimited uses with cooldown or something. Just take battle scanners to retaliation missions and the codex coordinate mission.

    That card is unplayable garbage compared to muster. Actually I think it's just unplayable garbage period.

    Hearthstone

    Because the payoff of running doubles of some cards outweighs the risk of losing games because you couldn't activate Reno early? That's the exact same question just rephrased. If I was still running arcane golem instead of leeroy I'd absolutely be running double PO. And no, it's nothing at all...

    wut? Jon Jones being so unlikable is the main reason I'm hoping Cormier pulls off an upset.

    XCOM 2

    Well one thing is you can still get a huge effect out of mimic beacons if you use them more tactically now. Couple active mecs or mutons? Pretty much wasted. Couple vipers, sectoids, an andromedon, or a gatekeeper? Pretty big deal to rob them of a turn. Especially since in the case of vipers, if...

    Hearthstone

    Because in some decks the value of running doubles of some cards outweighs the games where you lose because you couldn't activate Reno early. For example, Reno freeze still runs several 2 ofs. You could easily get away with running one or two 2 ofs in reno lock lists as well. There's some real...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    I don't read comics and I knew Cap dies in civil war. And why are you using a spoiler? It's already been mentioned that Ross is a villain, even if someone was too dumb to remember that he definitely wasn't a good guy in the Incredible Hulk.

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    Well they're going to be manipulated into it, presumably by Ross. Once the first shot is fired it's pretty hard to stop the conflict, and if Bucky gets framed for taking out Rhodey fairly early on in the movie, that could easily be why Stark and Cap come to blows. Stark is convinced Bucky tried...

    My first thought for C'Thun is building a Zoo deck around him. I can't imagine a meta where Zoo is ever not a ladder viable deck, but it's definitely getting shaken up pretty dramatically by the cards rotating out in Naxx and GvG and the rumors of a (much needed) nerf to Yuggler. Vanilla Zoo was...

    Eh, Dragon Priest is pretty proactive and games don't drag on that bad. It's just that I had gotten 4-5 golden classes in a month and didn't feel up to finishing off priest, and still haven't since, heh.

    XCOM 2

    Well part of that problem is that the AI 'cheats' and knows where you are even when they can't see you...which means they know where the mimic beacon is too. Only thing I've ever seen ignore a beacon is a stun lancer. I verified the cheating thing when an advent trooper rushed forward to shoot...

    I'm ~150 wins from golden priest and have been for a couple months. Just haven't been in the mood to grind the rest of them out, even though Dragon Priest isn't in all that bad a spot in the meta right now, despite the low ranking on tempostorm. Or maybe it depends more on the way you customize...

    Intredasting. Reckoner and Elder both pass the vanilla test, so perhaps a C'thun deck will be viable. Largely depends on whether or not those two are the only good C'thun buffers. Will be interesting to see if each class gets a C'thun card as well.

    Yeah in enemy within they just attracted the enemy, which could make them break cover in stupid ways but not nearly so powerful an effect.

    Now that I think about it, wouldn't bankruptcy be worse than an unpaid hospital bill on your credit? At least for close to a decade?

    Hmm, that's a good point. They should at least be changed to not count as exposed if they don't get cover anymore.

    You don't have to prove anything to me. While I'm sure that at some point I've posted something along the lines of 'have you ever even read the books?' in response to something you've said, I don't actually doubt that you've read the books. I just like making fun of you.
