I don't even know what those are but if I could trade the legendary for two druid epics I would.
I think I'm just going to make a new account do all the quests and stick to arena.

Millhouse easily. Way funnier when you play it and shit goes haywire.
I'd only be able to craft one epic when I disenchant the legendary, so I'd rather just wait till a can craft a full deck before wasting it.
edit: Which is going to be a long ass time anyways.
Please kill me immediately Freeze Mage.

Bnet forums are weird. There are actually people arguing women can't cope with the math required to play at an esports level.
They have a point. Counting to 30 is really hard. I spent all my time learning to cook and sew. No time for math. I can't cope with the difficult mathematics Hearthstone requires.
You should try learning math by doing precise calculations on the exact weights of meats and veggies needed to properly create your man's sandwich. You probably wouldn't be able to do math like all the big boys doing calculus in Hearthstone, but we might find it amusing and pat you on the head.
Yeah. I've been seeing a lot of this too. The arena meta has been shifting to stupid aggro. Really only works if the person you're playing drafts no AOE.
I only read the bnet forums for laughs. Their moderators don't ban people for being ignorant unlike neogaf and other forums which are not sexist places.
I mean they bitch about all sorts of things.
And as for arena I drafted Mage with only one blizzard, 2 fireballs, 1 polymorph and the rest are creatures(big and some strong early game

Yeah been playing arena again for the first time in ages and getting significantly better results because of all of the "to the face" mentality. Control decks just own arena right now.
Yeah I've got a control Mage and have won game that were pretty close. I'll probably destroy priests because of the strength of 4 drops

Someone is accusing me of being on a witch hunt because I pointed out that "the average woman can't compete in hs" (or whatever the guy claimed) was just a pretext for sexism.
I mean, how can any rational person think this is not sexism. To reject someone not on their ability to succeed but their gender is discrimination on the basis of sex, right? How can anyone argue that is acceptable and then claim that is not sexist reasoning.
winning at hearthstone is not worth the price of one's soul

Yeah, it's time like these especially where it sucks that being an MVP on the forum amounts to jack all... I wish they'd open up at the very least better channels for us to get in contact with the CMs to get the moderators on top of situations like these.

True that. I won't play Miracle, Handlock or Zoo. I'd feel like too big of a jackass.
some mix between ramp and mid-range which is basically the same to me anyway. Probably double combo although I don't really know how people constantly manage to pull this off against me without clogging their hand, oh well. Don't play too many late-game legendaries, run one or two Argent Commanders instead. No more than one AoW max because the inevitable Black Knight in druid mirrors will just ruin your day.
Violet Teacher works best with Power of the Wild but then you already essentially have a token druid deck

The difference between 1 and 0 is bigger than it looks, poor miracle rogue!
So desperate fishing for that last point of damage after the two minion attacks and 5 damage eviscerate to the face, trying to cycle preps in to fan of knives to get more and more cards looking for anything that could turn the 15 damage in to 16 and seal the win.
Hey man don't hate! These cards are staples in my (unfinished) Randuin Wrynn deck
They were the first two legendaries I got too heh so they are special to me!
I'm really liking Realz's stream. I think he's ahead of Trump as a Hearthstone streamer for me now. He does such a good job talking through his plays and he seems to just be a generally nice guy. I like nice guys.
I always had an image of competitive WoW PvP players. Realz isn't anything like I would've expected.

How are you guys not bored with the current pool of cards yet? Must be newer players I'm guessing?
I haven't spent enough money on the game to get all the popular decks in the meta yet. Still no miracle, handlock, or ramp druid for me.

Millhouse is by far the worst card in the game. I've seen him played exactly once, and I steamrolled that guy for doing it. I was playing Hunter, and the other guy dropped a Pint-sized Summoner and Millhouse on the 5 mana turn. I played Buzzard, Animal Companion (got the 2/4 +1 attack for all minions), UTH (got two hounds), Flare, Explosive Shot (wiping out his board), Timber Wolf, Explosive Trap, the Coin, and ended with Steady Shot. He conceded as soon as I finished the turn.
I guess I'm pretty lucky, though, because my first legendary was Alex, and she is amazing.
Seeing as the price was supposed to be announced 2 days ago I wouldn't hold my breath on a July release.
By the way, why is it every single time I try to play Control Warrior, I get matched up against 3 Priests in a row who are all able to steal my entire fucking deck and kill me with it? I swear, I wasted an hour to win once. And then the one game I get against murlocs, mulligan everything to get one of my two Whirlwinds and never see it before I die.
Makes anything related to these organizations look fucking stupid and immature.
Boycotting is easy, let's do it!

Dear god. Endless Fireball loop is something that I never could've imagined. I would've picked off literally every minion on his board with fireballs before I even started on face damage.

Yeah, I think I played the same hunters, or at least similar builds. I just played a Shaman who used Rockbiter on Turn 1 to hit me in the face for 3. He conceded on Turn 7.

It's sad that Blizzard isn't willing to buff Paladins. They're obviously much weaker than any other class in constructed it will be like that for a long time :|

I have a new terrible combo idea after watching Day9 play the Crusher shaman deck.
Leeroy > Ancestral Spirit x2 > Hit Face > Kill Leeroy (Lightning Bolt or Double Frost Shock) > then hit face with two fresh Leeroys.
Of course, it's easier to Leeroy > Rockbiter > Windfury for the same amount of damage, but it's something I have to do something for the style points.
Edit: It's a shame Ancestral Spirit doesn't retain buffs because then you use use cheaper charge cards.

He's quite the speedy player. Very good at explaining his next few turns and reading the opponent's hand. Probably the best new general constructed streamer.
Well at least Druids aren't selling their souls
Every AoL gnaws at their soul. I mean you get a beefed up Yeti and Arcane intellect in one card without drawbacks and in a game where every minion is a threat and a removal by default. Swell!
It costs 7 mana, the same as yeti + int. Don't be so salty.
