I don’t bother with using Druid of the claw taunt when I play druid against them, I go straight for 4/4 charge and ideally a Argent Commander the following turn.
Coin -> faerie dragon/Innervate + yeti is great against them too. Harvest golems works great too since if they happen to run shadow word pain it kinda annoys them.
edit saw this on official forums
Godlike.
Man, trying to climb on NA again but there are only Handlocks and Hunters. People sure like to pretend that they make decisions when they play over here.
I got a handlock now too with alex, baron, rag, 2 moltens, and a faceless. Handlock vs Hunter is just nutty.
Either I’m helping the hunter kill me faster or hunter is helping me get 2 moltens with a defender of argus sandwiched inbetween faster.
Rag felt really redundant when I played him, very improbable to get him out in a no gamble situation unless you’re already winning.
They announced this a long time ago, but glad to see it’s finally coming out.
You’re also supposed to earn a new card backing for each season you participate in
Handlocks are the control locks right? Man I’m almost done making that deck, I only need Alex and LORD JARAXXUS
It sure feels good watching all these suicidal Rogue players busting out all these combos with Leeroy at the end only to have it thwarted by an Ice Block so I can destroy them next turn. Happened twice now
That’s what he does, he’s the finisher for control decks. Pretty much there to end games once you established board control or if the other units alive are worth clearing with his fireball.
If he doesn’t end games, he’s removal bait and acts as a strong 2 for 1 or often better provided if you have a bit of board control to help clear the weaker minions and that alone gives you enough advantage to make him worth playing.
Leeroy fits that role better in my opinion, got some good synergy with Shadow Flame on top of it.
Had a disappointing arena run this morning. Somehow I managed to draft two Tirion Fordrings. I had some crappy luck on that run, but some fun stuff happened, too. In one game, one got silenced, so I just played the other one on the next turn. :lol: Naturally, my only other taunt was a Sunwalker…
In other news, somebody actually made a pack opening simulator: http://forums.nurfed.com/hearthstone/
So I was just playing priest for the first time in about a week. I threw a deck together to try out some cards. It’s very inconsistent, and I end up a lot of times with a hand I can’t play because it’s all spells.
I was in that situation in this last game after my Paladin opponent wrecked my squad with an equality combo. With nothing on the board and nothing but spells in my hand on turn 7, I throw out thoughtsteal and get…a harvest golem and a faceless manipulator. Oh shit. I threw out the golem to finish that turn. I’ve already got two mind controls in my hand. I’m just trying to make it to turn 10 without getting too beat up.
Turn 9, this dude plays Malygos. 
Mind control the Malygos. He makes his play, attacking with four minions to the dome and taking Malygos down to 8 health. I faceless the malygos and spell a couple of minions to death. He kills the original Malygos, leaving my lone 4/8 Malygos out there. Aaaand here’s how it ended.
A Paladin playing Malygos? Man, it sure would be sweet to live the “hitting the opponent’s board with Consecration for 7 damage” dream, but that’s just too optimistic.
Avenging wrath with malygos + a faceless’d malygos on the field
WHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAM
Welp just got Illidan in a pack. Going straight into the miracle druid deck. Will do until I get ysera/cenarius, probably one of the few decks that illidan can somewhat shine.
edit TOO MANY TOKENS
So this is the deck I’ve been having fun using right now. Coin to Kirin Tor Mage to Counterpell combo on turn 2 is deadly if they don’t have a creature on the board.
Here’s a deck that I’ve been messing around with. It’s based on the zoo deck that’s been terrorizing the ladder. Thing is, I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort, since the Warlock card draw ability is so OP. I think it would be better balanced if it cost 3 HP to draw a card or something.
Got a Elite Tauren Chieftain dropped on me for the first time today. That is a silly card.
Yes it is. I had a guy drop it on me when I was fucking around with a hybrid murloc/zoo deck, and I managed to get I Am Murloc.
Laughs were had.
And no sooner did I post that than I found this video.
:lol: This is some shit right here. Spoilers: Elite Tauren Chieftain + 2 Lorewalker Chos = silly shit.
Lorewalker cho has some hilarious potential. Especially as soon as more cards get added.
Also curious to see if Illidan summons another token if a harvest golem dies and summons damaged golem or worse yet summons another token if violet teacher summons a token doubt either of these
Speaking of Cho just found this vid.
1 Cho on each field + Nozdormu is marvel levels of broken.
