VS data reaper live seems to agree with that. It says secret paladin is still quite good too. But fuck playing that deck and drawing into secrets instead of swords.

I don't remember if he actually invented it or had it happen to him and then copied it, but the old cube deck where you end up with like 6 charged devilsaurs blew my mind when I first saw Savjz playing it back in the day. Does hearthstone still do anything that cool? I did see Firebat doing a silly deathrattle spellpower deck the other day, but no way that one's consistent and the old cube decks were pretty good in that dept.

I'm still glad I'm not playing anymore though. This game is 90% as much fun to watch rather than play a lot of the time IMO, so why chase the dragon?
Agreed, definitely enjoy watching more than playing at this point.

I got all y'all beat. Watch AND play at the same time! Just lower your expectations far enough so that you're ok with only getting to bronze 10.

I was actually not playing during that time period as I grew so frustrated with the game and took a good year off or so. I play now but mostly just doing quests while I have my morning coffee instead of reading the news or something else. Definitely enjoy watching the tournaments more than playing

Hit legend with Control Warrior. Fastest I've ever shot up to legend. Warlock is an autoloss but I'm just farming literally everything else.

The big warrior list that was on reddit?
Nah I didn't copy from reddit. It's just C'Thun Control Warrior. The thing that really turned it around was realizing I needed to play all the heal cards. Armor vendors, Scrap Golems, Shieldmaidens. Cut Mor'shan elite because the face decks (DH, Hunter) remove taunts way too easily but eventually run out of face damage if you just keep healing. Paladin doesn't actually have that many minions in its deck so it's feasible to just kill everything they play, they don't have reach with the Pen Flinger nerf and basically can't beat Rattlegore if you can live long enough to play it.

I think Frozen is the tournament player I have the most respect for. I feel like he works hard. He just always brings stuff different from everyone else, and plays it in a very different way, and brings the results.

He definitely see the lines of play like no one else does. Him and Jarla are by far my favorite players to watch.

Welp time for another break. I am getting real sick of Magestone. 90% of my games are fucking Lunacy mage.

I don't think they made a big announcement about it but Kargal can now be dusted for full value for a few days. Glad they did that, I dusted my copy.

game 3 warma vs jarla has to be the worst I've ever seen jarla play. sooooooo many bad decisions starting with turn 2
