I laughed the first time I saw someone shadowstep a mana addict too. I lost that game in exactly the same fashion, but yeah, you need to have both conceal and gadgetzan drawn and if amaz had circle of healing or anything that gave extra damage for lethal that turn then the rogue would've lost.
Losing a mana addict + gadgetzan + conceal setup to a soulpriest + circle combo or a flamestrike is the worst feeling, because that and your leeroy combo were the only two ways you were going to win the game and if you fail one you probably won't get a chance to try the plan B. I think that's why combo pieces like malygos or van cleef are more common, because they can't be bursted down with AOE while under conceal via raw damage.
Which deck would've you preferred?
lol. I just hate Warlocks and am currently playing against the third in a row which will probably result in my third loss today
LOL, that's amazing.

Relatively new player. Just went up against a Paladin at rank 18 who had the craziest shit. Maybe there's a common name for this deck, but he kept using these 0/7 Minions with Taunt, then hitting Inner Fire, and putting down Lay on Hands and attack buffing units. All by turn 4. How do I even go up against this as mage? I mean by the 4th turn he had two 7/7 units out already.

Polymorph or a silence.
or a well-timed fireball. You probably won't have many silences if any at all in a mage deck
Pretty rough to play against a Paladin with Priest cards who's also playing 8 mana cards on turn 4

Probably kept the coin and thoughtstole Far Sight
Came back after a long layoff (about the time the game went to open beta) two days ago. I figure I'll log in, see what's new, spend the gold I accumulated on packs because I had no intention of playing again...
The last pack gives me a golden Prophet Velen. On the one hand this is awesome! On the other hand, Velen...really? Can't complain too much though, it's my first golden legendary and at bare minimum it'll be 1600 dust if I need it.
This rank 15 to rank 13 stretch was pretty strange. I lost two games going from 25 to 13, and then proceeded to go 8-13 while dropping back to rank 15. I used the zoolock deck to rank up to begin with, but it's control deck after control deck (mainly watcher Druid/Warrior control/some Paladin decks I don't recognize/and two handlock losses) and I just don't have the decision making after being out so long to reliably win enough to keep ranking against those decks with it. I finally swapped to a cheap dust token druid deck I found online and promptly went 8-2 and got back up to rank 12.
TLDR: logged in for giggles, got sucked back in chasing card backs
I have hit only one miracle Rogue, one mirror zoolock, and two handlocks. How much farther up will I have to get before that is all I see?

It's 1 or 2 am (don't remember exactly).
Only 39 more packs like this and you have another legendary!Another crap pack full of dupes, 35 dust

Finished an Arena run and got Sylvanas from a pack.
Start a new Arena run 30 seconds later and Sylvanas is my pick out of a choice of three Legendaries for my first card of the new deck.
It is a sign.

Doesn't seem to work for EU, or at least I never managed to do it...

I think it's my favorite legendary for swinging a game. Sylv+brawl, shield slam, fireball, lava burst, whatever has won me a lot.
I hope I'm not the only Warrior player who realized during a match at a bad time that...no, you can't execute a friendly minion.
As it relates to the quoted, though, 100% agree. Baiting out / having Sylvanas out with a Brawl in hand and watching the opponent flood the board as a kneejerk reaction to Sylvanas is delicious.
Speaking about Sylvanas: Just had another hilarious match.
Priest used Thoughtsteal on turn 3 and began spamming 'thank you'. I just continued to play as normal and put out my Berserker. Turn 5, he coins out my Cairne while spamming 'thank you'. I play Sylvanas and ignore his Cairne. Turn 6, he plays his own Cairne and attacks me to the face with the one already on the board. I take down one Cairne, play Whirlwind and drive Sylvanas into Baine to steal his second Cairne. 'Thank you'.
He played his own Sylvanas on his turn, but it didn't matter. Taskmaster on Cairne, another Whirlwind, then finish it off with my buffed Berserker and Fiery Win Axe. I made sure to spam a whole lot of 'Thanks'.
EDIT:
Man, it never fails to amuse me how many people just can't properly deal with Armorsmith. Just played against a Mage who attacked everything on my board, but did nothing about my Armorsmith. It eventually became a topdeck-battle, and by the time he/she had finally dealt with my Armorsmith, I had 35 armor and 30 health vs. his/her 3 health. Then I topdeck Ysera. Ysera Awakens then won me the game by bypassing Sunwalker.

This. 2nd thank you for the same play gets you squelched. More than 3 in total, the same. We then both know you're being a dick.

So is turn 4 Ysera. Except they immediately conceded so I didn't even get to have any fun.
Party poopers...
If I remember to, I will always squelch as the first thing I do and just pretend I'm playing against AI.
Too many jerks (which is generally why I don't like PvP games). Squelched, I can just play without worrying about that and they can spam their emotes and enjoy their behaviour by themselves.

It's not an easy deck, you can make a lot of mistakes when choosing placement, how you trade up, what you buff, when you tap, how you discard, etc. Yes, of course, there are times you use doomguard with cards in your hand. Doomguard is one of your most important cards. If you can, watch a zoo stream of someone like Reynad or Kolento or Trump and I'm sure you'll see how they play it totally differently than you think it should be.

Well, now there's something you don't see everyday. A hunter with no UTHs is a sad, sad hunter.
I guess if you're going to dream, dream big. I could have used the Bloodlust on the prior turn with 4 minions on the board, but that wouldn't have won the game. It was a needed win though, ranked is no cakewalk any more, I think I lost the last 4 or 5 games before this one.

Token sham/bloodlust deck?
I do it out of habit now the second I can, too many dicks. I wish they could see they were squelched as well, would frustrate them no end I am sure.

I would like to see some sort of spell that gives your hero the "strike back" effect that minions have when they are attacked, e.g. when a minion attacks you it would be dealt your weapon's damage.
Would kinda help against double Leeroys, no?
Fits both the warrior as well as Hunter I reckon.

I hope no one squelches me when we play.. they have to know I'm bodying them..
Pally has a secret that does this.

Neat idea. If one of your own minions hits you (because of Misdirection) while you have an attack value, you damage it. So all they'd need to do for that to work is have a weapon that stays "open" during your opponent's turn.

Yeah, would work well as a weapon I guess, a 4 cost 3/4 with "Whenever a minion attacks your hero, the minion is dealt your weapon's damage and this loses 1 durability."
I like to run at least one hellfire.

Yea it was actually a Priest, lol. And it was Gurubashi Berserker and Mogushan Warden that he was playing. I guess he just got really lucky and had 1-2 of each, plus 2 Inner Fires within the first 4-5 turns. He Coined the warden on turn 4.
Um.. I just watched that video you guys linked to of "Amaz" playing against that miracle rogue.
Then I check out his latest video of him playing against a druid. And at the bottom of that video there is a list of people who have donated and it says that "Xixio" has donated 1 million dollars?
Is this real or what's that about?
