Ran into a ton of Mages and Zoo-locks today. I was doing a daily for Shaman, so that sucked a little bit. On the bright side after the daily was done I switched to Face Hunter and just steamrolled.

I roll on those freeze mages all day. So glad people are slave to popular streamers some times.

I've been switching between freeze mage and handlock. In my defense, I had a freeze mage list that I dicked around with before Otter and Trump made it famous, I just didn't think it was viable for the ladder before. Granted, my version probably wasn't.
I'm still not convinced it's very good. Control warrior is pretty absent atm, but it's still pretty awful against Druid, which was very popular this morning before my nieces got here and I had to stop playing (cant let them hear me shouting swear words at the computer). Aggro paladin depends on the draw but it's definitely in their favor, I only lost to miracle twice and one of those times I misplayed pretty badly.

I honestly believe that handlock is one of the strongest, and Ill explain why.
Its good in the mirror, It can beat Miracle, It destroys druids, and it can hang with zoo.

5-0 against miracle rogues with handlock so far. Only rank 7 atm so the really good ones are probably higher.
Hardest was the one that had like round 3 or 4 6/6 vancleef who also had double sap. He cold blooded vc up and concealed to take me down to 5 next turn but then I was able to BGH it and heal up/taunt up in next turns to win.
Really liking two faceless manipulators in this deck so far. Only card I'm debating about atm is Hellfire. Has been quite limited in usage so far but keeping one copy in for now.

Handlock is the hard counter to miracle rogue, so I'm not surprised with that record. It's good against druid and priest as well. It is extremely weak to hunter, coldnight rogue, and aggro paladin though. It's also a coin flip vs. Shaman and zoo and I never feel confident vs a control warrior either.
I don't really think Zoo is the best deck, but it has no horrible matchup except mage probably, so it's a good one to level up with.

Well aside from the fact that competitive MtG is a giant cesspool of assholes, poor sports, and cheaters, I assume it has to do with him getting caught cheating. What does that have to do with RDU cheating?

Maybe he learned his lesson and has a lot of remorse and regret for hi... Never mind. This is Reynad we're talking about.
I suck at this game. Have more cards and doing worse in rank than ever. Worst part is that I can't even decide what deck I'm best with.
Finally experienced the 'infinite cycle of dailies' bug/feature. Tried it a little after 2am CST. Was nice just clicking past all the garbage 40 gold dailies until the 100g one popped.

Reynad caught a ban for cheating, went on twitter and cried about it (shocker) which earned him more time added to his suspension.
As for RDU, please don't tell me you bought into the Reddit True Detective nonsense about code-words? If Amaz doesn't give a shit, why would you?

He only had tells for like one game anyway didn't he? And it didn't look like he was going to lose regardless. Probably should have lost the game on the spot for that but at the same time it's up to the admins to make the rules before that shit happens and/or make sure they're playing blank accounts. It's pretty shady but whatever.

Reynad claimed that players could listen to crowd noise during the matches. He said RDU must have overheard the commentators during their match because RDU did not mulligan Fan of Knives vs Reynad's aggro warrior when Reynad had three 1 health drops in his opener.
Too bad when you go back to the stream and watch, RDU completed his mulligan before the commentators said anything about Reynad's hand.

Who needs Reddit detective nonsense when we have Rerolled detective nonsense.
Kolento is just too good. Legend rank 1 in EU and rank 9 on NA atm. Finished legend rank 3 EU season 1 and rank 1 in season 2.

Don't really care about Reynad, but I do like Amaz and feel bad that he lost to a cheater.Sorry dude. Maybe you can get mods to change you from Twilight Sparkle to Team Edward?
RDU wouldn't be reacting the way he did if he wasn't guilty.
