Hearthstone - That other, other, other Blizzard game

[Korbidon]

Vilefin inquistor is the best card in the set. The Hero Power artwork! <3

I think in terms of raw and effect vs cost, you can’t really go past Tirion. He only really loses to black knight into ooze, and even then, that’s two cards for one.

This is true, provided that you play a paladin deck. He’s pretty lackluster if you’re planning on playing midrange shaman or control warrior.

After more CW-games, my match-up list for the deck is as follows:

Borderline unwinnable - Zoolock*
Disadvantage - Midrange hunter, renolock
Even-ish - Secret paladin, control priest**
Advantage CW - Everything else
Mostly free points - Yogg-decks, or anything else with finite in the deck damage

As long as there are few zoolocks around, you’ll mostly be fine. CW is well suited to beat slow decks, and there are a lot of those around at the moment.
Midrange hunter might be as bad a matchup as zoolock though. Need more experience in that match, but dealing with Highmane and AVENGERS ASSEMBLE Call of the Wild without falling too far behind is pretty difficult.

• you can tech in Revenge against this, but that card is really bad in most other matchups, and you’re still disadvantaged, so I can’t be arsed
  ** depends greatly on how you and your opponent configure your decks. Obviously the greedier the configuration for each side, the better this matchup is for said side

Was watching Kibler stream, somebody donated money to him with a joke attached with my Name as the donator… What in the fuck

Don’t worry we won’t judge you man

I am having fun with deathrattle rogue. My only problem is shaman, I feel like I have a hard time against it. Need more games to verify

If you are running into a lot of zoo but want to stick with warrior, the new patron warrior deck is a super hard counter to zoo.

I’m totally in love with the swarm Murloc Paladin. I wish I had the Gromok to compliment it because I almost always have enough minions on the board. However, like a lot of swarm decks, it can fizzle out in a longer game. I’m thinking about adding a divine favor for situations where I can’t catch up on cards. Also, I play with blood knight, which can often times be a 9/9 easily.

Edit:

[reh]

Oh god, that Murlofloodthingy…
Played against something like that earlier, but it had 2x Anyfin.
Nova+Doomsayer, Anyfin. Flamestrike, Anyfin. (╯ಠ益ಠ)╯︵ ┻━┻

Still not sure what to play, haven’t really found a deck I like. Trying some Reno variants for Warlock, Rogue and Mage.
RenoC’Thun Mage looked pretty promising so far. Doomsayer my new (old) MVP.
Mix of C’Thun, Alex and Anton is pretty consistant to finish games.

@Zero : I’m a scrub on this game but I’d lean between either with Ysera or Rag. My Dragon priest game greatly improved when I crafted Ysera; it got me up to rank 13 last month :tup: .

I’ve been having so much fun making YOLO decks that’s basically spell-based with Yoggie for the clutch win. I seemed to have the most success with Rogue class so far when it works. If only priest still have access to LightBomb, i think it could be a good contender for it.

I’m not overly attached to the class: I play certain classes because they have decks I like playing, not the other way around. Class loyalty isn’t my thing. Same reason I’m not a character loyalist in FGs =p
Talked to someone about zoo earlier, and I got the suggestion of adding a Ravaging Ghoul or two to the deck. I never really liked Brann in CW so I have a free slot, and it fills the same slot while being good tech against a bad matchup, while not being as situational as Revenge.

Darkshire councilman zoo is ridiculous and cheap to craft.

[Pimp_Willy]

I crafted N’Zoth, so I’ll post the screenshot within a week when I open a pack with him

[Frost]

I pulled a gold N’Zoth, been running deathrattle Rogue and some weird Paladin deck me and a friend made that incorporates N’Zoth into a dragon deck with Deathwing, Tirion and Chillmaw as some heavy endgame deathrattle drops.

The deck is slow as shit but it’s impossible to beat it you survive that long.

[Sleazoid]

OG deathwing or alternate timeline deathwing?

Me too! Only card I’ve crafted so far, and I’m happy with it. Adds a large threat to midrange hunter when otherwise you’d be out of steam.

But yeah, you and I both will open them next week.

Got all the old gods, want to put them all in the same deck “because”.

[Korbidon]

The new expansion is fun as shit. Game is back to being enjoyable, and not having to pick CW in every matchup because it’s the only reliable class.

First Arena in months, 7 Wins with what I considered a poor Arena deck. I’ll take it.

Arena meta changed - value is now way more important, and holding onto your cards is more essential. Not so critical if you miss some of your early turns too.

Really? I’ve been drafting cheaper and cheaper decks and seeing my wins go up.

Small sample size, but my experience is different to yours.

New Deathwing for the deathrattle value off of N’Zoth

The main reason is that taunts are more plentiful now, so playing aggressive gets stuffed, especially because of Bog Creeper. If you can last to turn seven and hold one or more of these in your hand, you’re probably good to go. Removal is a bit more diluted too unless you’re Shaman mostly.

However, I’ve been doing well with low-ish curves if I get offered a lot of removal. Depends on luck of the draw. Like my last two Shaman runs were very quick and went 7 and 8 respectively.

Of course, draft your way and you should still do relatively good. But hard removal is a bit more premium now.
