Recently got two Highmanes, boooy do I love that card lol. Works great when you have a Hyena just sitting around soaking it all in.
I have what to need to make that deck. Need to craft kodo and 2x UtH, and I think I have the dust. I could actually have my first real deck!
Soā¦ new season, new fun.
What will be your weapon of choice to climb the ladder?
Thinking about token Shaman or ramp Druid this time.
I just beated a Rogue who had 14 health, gone in 1 hit, I cant stand when people start āwell playedā many times implying they won the game already, I had 8 health and no minions on board, so then I pumped my doomguard with 2 overwhelmings and 1wolf Alpha, so I spammed him with āwell playedā as well.
Wow, Blizzardās still having problems with the wing purchases. I figured theyād have it solved by now.
Seriously, Iāve never seen blizz take this long to resolve something. Thatās nuts. I think theyāre having a hard time actually seeing in their database where the extra transactions occurred; youād think itād be simple, like a log table that shows purchase with the naxx wing 2 code, and then you can just reimburse those accounts, but apparently its harder than that. Yikes. I forsee extra hours all week to resolve it before next tuesdays wing launch.
Iāll probably roll mostly hunter for this season, see how well this deck can do. I kinda want to make slime belcher/pally redemption work though.
I need to finish my Naxx quarter. Its been tough now that Iām officially moving into my new house, but Iāve really enjoyed playing it. The hunter challenge was AWESOME! I loved the fact that every card was the spider. Once I caught on I just smiled. Very clever!
I really like how the new cards are easily finding their way into ranked decks. People havenāt been afraid to experimentāthats a big plus. I canāt wait for deathās bite. I really canāt. Its essentially a Truesilver champion and a swipe in one. AMAAAAAZING.
Thank you guys for coming and chekcing out my stream the other night. It was fun!
Since the season was new, and I had a priest quest for 5 wins, I figured Iād try to play a priest at rank 20 and use some of the naxx cards, using the 1/4 spider that makes battle cry minions 2 more to control the early game, along with that stupid 1/4 gargoyle that heals itself, and the 3/5 taunt that spawns into a 1/2 taunt.
Overall, having fun, though its clear this deck isnt that competitive. It has good cards to control the early to midgame, but getting a strong finisher is hard. I actually managed to end one game with a 24/24 ysera to the face, so I imagine the opponent must have been like āda Faq?ā when that happened out of nowhere.
I wonder if we will see a surge in control decks with all the strong taunt cards between 2-6 (7 Druid) mana any time soon, backed with a bunch of high cost legendares of course.
I hope they can fix the issues soon. I got the new Belcher minion in arena yesterday, and now I need it in my regular decks.
Theyāve really made some good taunt choices, plus theyāve given some really interesting 5 drops. Control will be popular, but I dont think aggro is dead by any means
By the way, I was using Shaman when I got the Belcher card in arena. I also got Ancestral Spirit. Pain in the ass for the opponent to deal with.
When did they change the card text on ancestral spirit?
I think Deathlord will be very unhealthy for the game. Huge tempo swing so people will end up playing it and the rng can both be benficial or negative. Miracle getting an auctioneer or losing his leeroy, losing battle cry effects on important cards or randomly winning by getting Rag/Ysera/Giant/Sunwalker and if itās a shitty card just end up losing.
Its good, but I wouldnt say unhealthy. If it becomes prominent, youāll see ways around it. I plan to run Crazed Alchemist to deal with it : )
Well Iām not sure JuuM is worried about its hp. Itās the effect that can swing a match in a huge way, in either players favor.
Its going to be best vs druid and preventing their creatures from getting the CHOOSE options, for sure. Just run nothing but Ysera/Rag/Deathwing and rely on your opponent having that card to win lol
Anybody ever been to one of those fireside events?
with so many strong minions, most of my decks now have at least one of these dudes:Ironbeak Owl and Spellbreaker.
so many times they are the difference between losing or winning.
Alright Iām using that mid range hunter deck from the last page (kolentoās new deck, with -1 kodo +1 starving hyena. Iām having a bit of trouble vs zoo, of which Iām running into 50% of the time.
If Iām going to swap a trap or two in to deal with zoo on the ladder climb, what do you think I can take out?
Zoo should be dealt with by houndmaster+snapjaw oasis or any sort of decent taunt, plus unleash the hounds. If I was gonna make room for the trap, Iād remove scavenger imo or deathspinner
Looks like the wing issueās fixed.
