Hearthstone

Got Total Dominance today and loaded up Secret Paladin.

I don't think it has a hard counter (even Freeze Mage needs to draw key cards at the right time). But it's amazing how many people are trying to build decks solely to hard counter Secret Paladin. I'm seeing a lot of Warriors in particular with really weird setups that are, obviously, trying to tech against Secret Paladin.

Zoo is also really popular atm and the same things would be used to combat it.

Im running a Shaman Alarm-o-bot, Ancestors Call, Far Sight deck..

It actually wins quite a bit and its fun as hell.

Love playing Doomsayer + Alarmobot... Deers in headlights

Is a tempo deck and if it falls behind it loses. Been beating it all month with tempo Mage and double Flare face Hunter.

Don't really like an all tempo meta, especially one where Rogue isn't viable since Rogue is my favorite tempo class.

So this Reno shaman with a ton of heals, Elise and elemental destruction is popular now? Saw two different people playing it around rank 9/10 tonight.

Would appear to be this:

Reno-Justicar-Elise [ UPDATED ] - Hearthstone Decks

Can definitely flex a number of those cards around, I think my opponents were running Ysera instead of Sneeds. Not sure I recall seeing Justicar or Brann either. Also don't remember mad bomber, I could see chow there or tunnel trogg. They were also both running Mistcaller and Neptulon as I recall.

I beat them both with my version of dragon priest, but it was long and annoying and went to fatigue.

Grinding out to 5 for the season rewards. On the last win I need, ran a secret paladin out of resources and was about to take over the game, then his juggler ignores my 4 creatures to juggle face twice to give him lethal.

fuck this game

On my journey to 5 this month I didn't play much in the beginning this month, so I shot up quickly to 6 and 3 times I was one win away from 5 when I deranked back to almost 9 before hitting 5 the third time. It made me question life choices.

I went to rank 5 in the first ten days of the month, then stopped playing at 4 because i didn't want to grind out the 100+ games it requires to get to legend from there. I wouldn't mind it if they made it less time consuming, for example streaking stops at rank 3.

The amount of board clears in a typical priest deck would be considered extremely greedy in any other class. I've come to expect light bombs, soul priest + coh, holy nova, and excavated evil from a priest opponent. But if a mage started using all their board clears, would be highly unexpected.

They also run pyromancer so they can start board clearing as early as turn 2.

Well, you can't run every single board clear on top of pyromancers. And that's sort of the entire point of priest decks, is you force your opponent to overextend into mass removal.

I am running reno dreadsteed it only wins 55% of the time but its so much fun to play.

Kinda sad this brawl is going away, the priest combo deck is so much fun

It stops at 5.

Yeah, i mean it would be nice if streaking stopped at 3 instead of 5. Less grindage that way, but i doubt they'll ever change it.
