    Yeah I don't really think he was throwing the game just because of how unlikely it is, but I sure wouldn't be the least surprised if it came out somewhere down the road that he was.

    This is a guy who fearlessly dives for touchdowns with no regard for the possibility of career ending injuries, but he jumps away from a fumble when a recovery could have kept his team in the Super Bowl. I can't imagine what would be worth more to an NFL QB than a Super Bowl ring, which is...

    If that's not intentionally throwing the game I don't know what is.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Unless I misheard, the episode ended with them saying they're going right back after Savage in the 80s. I guess it's something of a paradox either way, but it makes more sense to me to go farther back in time after Savage each time you fail instead of going forward.

    He's a pretty good actor. I imagine it's hard to act sad when you're thinking about the millions of dollars that just got wired into your account in the Caymans for throwing the Superbowl.

    The only thing I can think of is that Cam is throwing the game on purpose. I mean he actually jumped AWAY from a fucking fumble. What the fuck?

    In other words, they're still completely incapable of learning from existing CCGs. Or from MTG at least. If certain classes (paladin, priest, maybe mage) are total dogshit with classic cards, then you're stuck trying to plug those gaps with every single new set you release, instead of having a...

    Haywire protocol can disable or control Sectopods and Mecs.. My combat hacker has a 100% chance to stun a Sectopod. That's a really big deal when you activate more than one pod. Combat protocol is guaranteed damage to finish off a wounded target regardless of their cover. Scanning protocol is...

    I suppose the Valkyr would work...if I was willing to spend 3200 dust. That's a pretty raw deal compared to getting cultists as part of a big chunk of cards in Naxx. and I wasn't saying losing chow would cripple dragon priest, I was saying the combination loss of multiple early game cards would...

    I finally finished a psi op and took her on a mission. MADRE DIOS!! I had an 8 turn clock to get the chest open. Because of vigilance, the layout of the train, and the timer, when I made my move I knowingly activated every single enemy on the map, expecting things to get pretty rough. One...

    Shrinkmeister won't even be noticed, I haven't seen a single priest running him since a week or two after Entomb came out. Hell, I only run a single Cabal in my dragon priest list. As I've said before I have some grave doubts about the future of dragon priest, losing chow, cultist, and chosen in...

    Alex used to be a lot more common, entirely reasonable that she'll make just as much of a comeback as you're speculating Rag will. It's one thing to talk about cards that are already being played, but speculating about cards that aren't currently played is almost pointless until the expansion...

    Rag is absolutely better than Antonidas in Tempo Mage, I have no idea where this obsession with running Antonidas in Tempo came from. Hell even Rhonin is better than Antonidas in Tempo. Alex is a safe craft even if she gets changed because you'll get full dust value if she ends up unplayable.

    I mean we all knew it was coming, but I still think Felicity's dad just happening to be a supervillain is pretty dumb. Not as fucking dumb as Merlyn is for not killing Nyssa, or at least locking her in an actual fucking dungeon. And why the fuck did she need that dumbass little dagger to kill...

    I'm planning to try faceless/frost/charge post rotation. Should be plenty of room with death's bite, shield maiden, and dr boom going byebye. Probably won't run Grom at all, much harder to activate and Dog already wasn't running him in the list mine will be based off of.

    With so many deathrattle minions cycling out, gorehowl will be really good again. Zoo isn't terrible, just a bad matchup. I'd say it's between 55/45 and 60/40 in favor of Zoo. Really depends on you drawing two weapons early and them not getting a really good set up for Argus. Brawl is going to...

    Like I said, I do a 1/1 split on blademaster/phantom. My blademaster takes conceal while my phantom takes run & gun. When my phantom eventually gets revealed, I can pop my blademaster back into concealment and continue to have a scout. I used an SMG for a while on my blademaster, but I Found...

    If you want cards from the new expansion, buy packs from the new expansion. The only way buying classic packs would be worth it is if something like 75% of the classic set was offering full dust value.

    He doesn't even have to hang back, as long as he's still in cover relative to any enemies when concealment is broken he'll stay concealed. Phantom is really good but I always take blademaster on my first ranger, among other things a guaranteed kill on a full health sectoid is super powerful in...

    yeah you get 3 weeks, although its good to know that the timer resets every time you knock bars off.

    Yeah Stun Lancers have to be a priority, since they also have a chance to stun or KO you. *edit* Well shit, might be time for campaign #3 already. Avatar project just hit max, giving me 3 weeks to knock a bar off. I was already in the middle of contacting a region to hit a black site, but...

    Blacksites only reduce the avatar progress by 1 afaik. There are other ways to knock a bar off here and there, but the game has a fairly strict timer compared to EU/EW where you could play forever once you stabilized the air game.

    The only one I've tried so far, the mech got a fairly significant buff on a failed hack. Obviously not as bad as buffing the entire enemy team, or generating an extra reinforcement pod, or what have you. Easy robot hack stuns it, hard hack mind controls it for 2 turns. Still, giving something...
