    On the other hand, when the first thing you hear from one of your nieces in the morning is 'doe away', it makes you wonder if you can find a sweatshop to sell her to. Feels bad man.

    You should also make a habit of checking the Liquid Hearth power ranking articles. While their rankings are a bit less useful since they rank decks according to their objective power in both ladder and tournament play, they put a lot more effort into providing multiple up to date decklists than...

    Oh it's a bit complicated, that's why I also wouldn't recommend Rogue unless you're really dead set on her. Powers have categories, and you can only have set number of powers in that category. Impact - 2 Attrition - 2 Support - 2 Core - 12 Passive - 3 MH - Rogue Stolen Powers For...

    One thing I wasn't thinking about with Coldarra Drake is that it's a Dragon, which is a big deal for control mage.

    You can use every single one of her steal/borrow powers if you were so inclined, although you only have room for so many on your action bar. Hawkeye is an upper mid/lower top tier hero since his Age of Ultron review, but he's only a 200 splinter hero so I wouldn't take him as my freebie if I...

    Dragging this back out of the amod thread. Even if Tarrant is being a colossal douchecanoe, I don't really blame him for thinking the way he does. Anyone who talks about it as often as I do typically is just looking for attention. I'm not. The one and only reason I haven't done it already is...

    My brother in law was putting in a back patio for his current house, and I was removing the old stairs from the back door. The main block of the stoop? Reinforced with and rebar. Who the fuck does that? Who in the hell uses like 10ish cubic feet of reinforced concrete for part of the stairs on a...

    Getting to legend is not a function of skill, it's a function of inevitability. If you can maintain a 50.00001% win ratio and play enough games, sooner or later you'll streak in. IIRC his f2p shaman took him til right before the end of the season to hit legend. I mean if getting legend took...

    Who isn't calm? Warrior OTK with worgen takes about the same number of cards, has redundant combo pieces, is reasonably consistent, and at best would maybe have a place in the meta if patron gets nerfed into oblivion. The Aviana OTK combo requires 2 legendaries and both copies of two separate...

    I believe Trump had a following from Starcraft 2 before he started Hearthstone.

    He's also really bad at constructed play. I mean he's definitely one of the best at arena, but if you watch him in a tournament or grinding legend rank at the end of the season, he's barely above mediocre. Like, on a 1-10 scale I'd put him at a 6 for constructed. If he didn't have so much name...

    I was doing blue prestige at the time I posted that. Looking at how unbearably long Loki's achievements are going to take, I may just swap over all the stuff he needs for full bis. Why am I even grinding this shit out? I don't like Loki and I don't really care for the prisoner costume.

    I thought Chromaggus was better than he ended up being, but if you're comparing Aviana to Emperor Thaurissan, you're the one who learned nothing.

    Who cares? *edit* Oh I didn't even realize Aviana was a class legendary. Looking back at the pictures, that means Anub is a Rogue legendary? But I guess it only matters in the sense that now we know rogue won't be getting a playable legendary, because nobody would play Anub even if he were...

    Ramp is not very good. Aviana is unlikely to change that. That is fucking amazing. His opponent just rapes him with unstable portal over and over and over, and then Kripp pulls the double rng hail mary and wins the game. I'm pretty sure that based on the board state, that particular combo was...

    I have golden warrior, about 3/4ths of which is from low ranked control warrior play, I've experimented with just about everything in control warrior and I can't picture ever running Aviana because control warrior has a super low threat density and you want to lower that threat density even...

    Win more is actually a perfect way to describe Avian. It does seem like there are people around here who don't understand what win more means.

    Do I have to go dig up the Foe Reaper 4000 discussion and re-post it verbatim? A powerful effect alone does not make a card good. Twisting Nether sucks, Foe Reaper sucks, and so does Aviana.

    Or instead of running Aviana, which is only good with another drop to go with her, I could run another independently powerful 8 or 9 drop.

    Only druid of the claw works that way, because he's a transformation. Ancients and Keepers get the deathrattle just fine. I replaced claw with belchers in my deck.

    Hearthstone

    Anub is clever at least, but those both suck. Anub would be competitive with Boom as a 7 drop, maybe playable as an 8 drop, but he's garbage at 9. Aviana is garbage at 9 too. That ability is not so strong that she should have a 5/5 body.

    The living manifestations of the force from Clone Wars are a million times worse than midichlorians and they're canon too. I'd literally be fine with DBZ style scouters that counted midichlorian counts during battle if it meant they'd retcon away those episodes.

    It could if it was a vision instead of memories. I already said it could be a vision. Would just seem kind of weird, would be much better for such a major revelation to be introduced by a high-born eye witness rather than just some arbitrary vision.

    There isn't that much difference between midrange and face. You just play cheaper more aggressive threats and go face instead of making trades. And for the sake of argument, if you played 10 ladder matches and most of them were against midrange hunter, demonzoo, and handlock? You'd be an...

    You're going to have trouble with an attitude like that. I'm not saying you can't hit legend without playing face hunter, but your attitude should definitely be 'im going to play whatever it takes to get the job done'.
