I hate Shamans. My only losses yesterday came from Shaman decks. I almost gave up on my Paladin deck too
I agree in regards to the control hunter vs. miracle druid matchup. I didnāt have great luck in regards to drawing timely removal or weapons to stave off the big bodies/force multiple minions to be played, so I just bled to death over a series of turns. Same thing happened when I played shaman against miracle hunter.
That said, I still want to see how the matchup and decks mature when epics and legendaries are played.
Iām seeing a lot of Wurlocs lately. Thankfully, Hunter shits all over that build.
EDIT: Haha, I thought I was being clever by calling it āwurloc,ā but it appears that word is already in use by the community.
Looking at that match again, I couldāve ended it with Argent Commander and prevent enduring that nonsense for a round.
Iāve always seen it as warloc, but yeah, already done.
What the hell, I tried to get todayās quest and fought 8 Warlocks in a row. the hell is going on today?
So, anyone else try to play a Hunter-based secret deck? Itās quite interesting, although rather susceptible to rush, if draws are bad. Hereās my first try at the decklist:
Do you get much value out of your Hyenas, itās easy for most classes to play around snake trap when you donāt have any taunts.
edit: Just got my 5/3 Assassins Blade wrecked by a Harrison Jones in arena after forcing a Ooze the turn before.
Good point there - Iāve gotten too accustomed to people being scared and playing around Explosive Trap by trying to trade down, so fitting in some taunt providers would do the deck some good. I went ahead and took out 2x Snipe (since they are the biggest underperformers) and added in 2x Defender of Argus.
Of course, this deck could just be a dog and Iām wasting my time, but itās a good way to kill a work shift.
I am playing a version of that one. Itās pretty good if they donāt kill your weapon cause youāre basically dealing 5 damage every turn while annoying the shit out of your opponent cause they donāt want your secrets going off by playing creatures, attacking, etc. I even had one set up for the tourney but didnāt get a chance to use it that much
Apparently misdirection can cause minions to attack a heroās weapon without the weapon losing durability once they trade. The thought of a totem turning around and running themselves with Thrallās axe is hilarious.
Iām trying to think of how I could have a worse hand for this situation, and I got nothing.
I wished you used that whirlwinds to see how much they got buffed lol
When is the next tournament gonna be? I wanna play I wanna play!
Pretty sure I would have ended up with a 9/2 frothing berserker, 5/1 raging worgen w/windfury, and a 13/4 gurubashi berserker. and no cards.
So I had several 4/2, 4/1 minions vs a mage behind a healthy druid bear vs a sole Sylvanas.
The turn before I used faceless on Sylvanas.
Mage uses Tinkmaster on my Sylvanas -> turns into a 1/1 squirrel. Mage follows it up with fireballing her own Sylvanas and attacking my bear leaving him with 1 health and killing Sylvanas.
She dies and steals the squirrel.
More silliness brought to you by priest mirrors
Iāll start the work on doing another tournament after I get back from Ocean City this weekend.
God I hate hunter matchupsā¦there isnāt anything I can do but hope to get a little lucky with their draws. Its always bowā>attack with bowā>play secret (3 damage)ā>attack into secret because its early game and I canāt NOT attack and win (2 damage)ā>he gets an armor backā>attacks with bowā>plays secretā>hunter ability (7 damage)ā¦and on and on and on. MY GOD ITS ANNOYING. Then you add the fact that he gets a few 3-5 damage spellsā¦
I canāt completely warp my deck for this single matchup eitherā¦its just a shitty one
I might have to add one life gain spellā¦
This guy helps a shitload vs rush. The 3 heal does make a difference and 3/3 as a minion is great. Being able to heal a minion for 3 is a nice option too if you got a damaged taunt up.
Shieldbearer is starting to see some serious play these days for some reason.
