Who the fuck makes an online multiplayer game without a way to report the other player? Get your shit together Blizzard
What would you have reported?

People glitching the game out when they're losing.
The same company who still fails to implement replay and spectator functionality almost a year after their game has exploded in the competitive scene
Either that, or the game was simply disconnected? How would you know they glitched the game? Serious question.
Don't bother until you start getting murlocs from packs. You need two epics and four rares for the deck to be even remotely viable and that's pretty expensive for a gimmick deck.

if you hate disconnects you would have loved the beta.
You're going to get the stink eye like I do for playing Slivers in Magic. Murlocs are okay, but I find it more fun to troll Murloc decks by throwing out a Charge Murloc and taking all of the effects for myself and going for the face with it. I too want to do Murlocs, but I don't know if it's justifiable, given how easy it is to clear the board, ESPECIALLY against a Control Druid.
I play it myself for fast wins on my warlock quests. There's a reason that zoo is way more popular. It's heavily reliant on card draw and mages, druids, and rogues are extremely difficult matchups, and all of those are popular on ladder.

The hunter glitch that caused a disconnect has been fixed in a small patch like a month ago.
What are they doing to make you glitch out?
Because you're probably just facing a common disconnect/desync bug that has been an issue for a while. If you notice the game hangs, you can dc + reconnect. It has probably happened to me a total of 3 times and 2 times I got back into the game with no problems.
Murlocs are fucking hilarious though. I once managed to get my tidecaller to stay on board and he ended up being 8/8 or something ridiculously huge.
Though a lot of the time your board just keeps getting wiped and you got nothing to do.

If nothing dies, that's the dream. Dead on Turn 3.
Although I feel like the only time you could pull that off is something like Handlock. Murlock is very reliant on being able to have several murlocs in play by Turn 3. If you have just 1 minion on the board by Turn 3, you are in a very bad spot.
Yeah, something like that. And then I dropped in two of the +hp murlocs in a row.

Unless there is something you really need, I'd keep that dust for Naxx cards.
Having some really good success with my own flavor of Control Warrior in this meta. Seems to be pretty strong against most decks and a virtual free win whenever I run up against Freeze Mage. One of the more significant changes I made to something like TidesOfTime's deck is I added in a Sunwalker to put up a roadblock for aggro/miracle and it has been working pretty well.
Wasn't somebody saying that decks would be preset?

I'm not 100% on this because it was from a leaked image and it was hard to see, but I think you can do a few things with Naxx bosses. You can either craft a deck or fight them with a preset deck. The preset deck is the challenge fight with the boss, or something.
Yep I watched it live last night. It was hilarious.
Ah, okay. Yeah, I guess if you can use your own cards, Lorewalker Cho would be pretty powerful. Boss spells are sure to be overpowered as all heck.
freeze mage is going to be one of the go-to decks for Naxx, especially because a lot of the bosses have abilities that punish playing minions. With freeze mage, you can clear the board, be careless with your minions, play ice block and ice barrier to survive long enough to finish them off with the alex combo
Didn't think we'd ever get the story, it was glorious. Easily my favorite streamer, good game insight and always reads the dumb shit people post when they donate. Certainly more entertaining than someone like Trump - "So and so asks, do you have any interests outside of computer games?" "No."
Yep I agree completely, I really enjoy his salty personality. It's very genuine.
Miracle is hard to play.
It's not really that hard, I'd say handlock is harder but the biggest problem with miracle is that the current meta is unfavorable to it. It's mainly good against control decks but everyone is playing aggro decks, I'd say 2/3rds of the rogues I've faced are aggro/backspace. Handlock also has the advantage over it.
Miracle is trivial to play when you get a good draw. What makes it hard is playing it when you don't. The best Miracle players win more often than not even when they never see an Auctioneer.
Is there a link to this? I only read something about Tides getting his heart broken.
If you don't see an auctioneer, you're basically top decking and winning is mostly about luck and RNG. And typically you lose if your opponent is playing a less RNG reliant deck and can put out something on curve every turn.
Yeah, there's a load. I swapped to it because it's the only deck i can really viable do with how little cards I have at the moment. I dunno if the others are the same, or what.
It's annoying. I wish I could play a different deck, but I just don't have the cards to do anything else. I'd love to try druid, since I enjoyed the playstyle, but I have no cards for it. xD
Here's a summary:

DeerNadia has a VOD up of the whole thing from her perspective, but Tides hasn't posted one. I don't think it would be as entertaining in VOD format though; the best part was the streamers' interactions with Twitch chat.
MY CLASS IS HARDER THAN YOURS
This guy really needs to learn to tell a story, fucking hell.
Yeah, I was watching both streams at the same time while playing arena. It was a good evening of Hearthstone to be sure.
