My thoughts exactly. Damage/effects break stealth. It saves Blizzard a ton of headaches in the long run.
I love it. So fun to play.I finally made a control warrior deck! missing Brawl and a legend or two, but at last I will try ranked mode alongside arena
20 armor and 30 life on turn 5. I like this deck.
My next craft. I dare not to dust my Rogue epics before a nerf

I made a control Paladin. Only thing I'm missing is like a Cairne and maybe a second copy of an epic or two.
I then proceed to be matched vs. a Priest that thoughtsteals my Rag and a Sunwalker...
I swear this game is out to get me sometimes. But I might try the Paladin some more.
Have had really terrible luck the past few days though, deranking 4-5 ranks. Haven't had a winstreak in ages. Best matches I've had have been Hunter and Rogue aggro. Seeing a lot more Shamans than I used to as well. Zoo seems more 50/50 now, maybe 60/40. Generally loses to Druid, Priest, Warrior. Miracle Rogue has similar issues with heroes that mitigate damage. Haven't seen enough Paladins (and generally more aggro variety) to decide on that matchup.

That feeling when the hunter your facing plays lerroy against an explosive trap you played the turn before. >=)
As priest of course
I think I'm going to make a Druid deck of tauts and 4 attack minions. Sick of all this rush nonsense bullcrap dongpoop

Blizzard is such a troll.
Make a new Shaman deck. Face Hunter 3 times in a row.
Only to be counter-rushed with the cheesiest Shaman deck ever, take that Blizzard!
Dust-Devils, Leeroy, Mana Addict, even Nightstalker. It got it all
(FYI, both Dust-Devil and Mana Addict can potentially turn 3 kill)
Dust-Devil combo:
T1: Dust-Devil, Coin, Dust-Devil
T2: Nothing
T3: Flametongue Totem or Rockbiter on one of the Dust-Devils
Mana Addict combo:
T1: Nothing
T2: Mana Addict
T3: Coin, Windfury, Rockbiter, Rockbiter

Are we watching the same tournament? They play full 3 game matches non-stop, have no ads or commercials, have a guest commentator from the previous match every game, do an immediate winner interview after every match, and in between breaks they have interviews and player highlights. This is the best HS tournament I have ever seen. The only time they have extended breaks is when they finish a group, otherwise it's been non-stop games if you take out their obvious preparation times.
Actually I think you're right. I came in at bad times over the last 2 days I guess. Like earlier I came in and saw 1 match and then they took a 2 hour break.
But this Gnimsh / Kaldis match up was just the games without really breaks between. And it looks like Amaz / Dandido is coming up right away after a short break?

If you just came in at this Gnimsh game you missed 3 hours of non-stop games basically (the vods will be up tomorrow). Not to mention they also have the time of the next segment at the bottom at all times. So you know right now Amaz's game is coming up in 2 minutes. And again, no ads, no commercials, just an interview with one of the commentators. By the way Admirable and Chanman (this is the first time I've seen either) are fuckin garbage commentators that should be no where near someone like Artosis.
Artosis and Kripp OTP

Honestly it's hard for me to enjoy Artosis without Tasteless and Brood War. Some of these European players have been great at commentating. In the end though, Reynad is by far the best play by play guy.

Anything before rank 5 is just casual. You might lose the spark when the real grind begins.

Amaz plays non-stop priest against every class. He can technically beat any deck, even if his odds are 40/60 or 30/70 or whatever.
I've hit legend before. I know what it takes.

I'm just saying 14->10 doesn't tell you much about how the deck will do for the grind, unless you were facing all meta decks.
He used it to reach rank 1 legend, so if anything I think it'll be a bit easier once I'm not playing such a hodgepodge of decks.

Priest OP.

Kolento's (not really his but w/e, he popularized it in EU/NA) Druid build is all over 3->Legend at the moment, so it's pretty sure if you have a brain and can grind the games you can hit legend this season with it.
Amaz had hunter as his counter pick to Rogue and Priest isn't terrible MU vs. current druid builds for the reasons seen in the game-his threats are pretty versatile and quick to land, and he can keep himself healed out of combo range, effectively locking the cards dead in his opponent's hand.

Gaara playing around coin+SI for the faerie.. yeah.. he's easily the best player on Tempo Storm.

Guess there is a first time for everything. Just had someone concede who though I had lethal when I did not. That's why you have to never give up, never surrender!

Sometimes if you watch the players' cards and what he plays/holds, you make the wrong read and play around it too much. If you watch the tournament today it pretty much happens every game. Frezzar just played around Gaara's combo and wasted Lore's draw for heal. Solidified his loss.

That is fair, and truth be told, he thought I had the druid Savage Force combo, and that takes a while to play out, so I don't blame him.

That last druid mirror was a textbook example of one player getting the answer to the all important question of "Who's The Beatdown?" incorrectly.

Lol.. dude.. there's still hours of matches yet and Gaara needs a break since he plays right away again.
Also if you're into classic e-sports then lil susie is a great interview.
It was still a super long interview that had nothing to do with Hearthstone.

yeah.. worst tournament ever........
I didn't say it was the worst. Just that it was a long interview that had nothing to do with Hearthstone. Why are you so antagonistic? Sorry that I don't love every aspect of the stream I guess...?
Anyway...
That was a crazy play by Amaz clearing the board.

I haaaaaaaate it when I'm at 5 and my opponent plays 3 cards and then plays fireball. Just finish me...don't be a dick about it.

You'll probably just want to accept that is probably going to always happen. The rumor is that playing more cards nets you more exp. Sometimes I even do it to punish my opponent for not conceding, even though I already have max level with rogue... lol.
But I do it fast and whatever it is like an extra 5 seconds.
