Was going to edit that in but, yeah. If Webspinner's effect was on a higher costed minion, it wouldn't really be (as) relevant. Being a 1cc that Hunter can just throw down and not really care about losing is a pretty big deal for them.

I took out 1 tracking and put in a bow, kind of want to craft a gladiators longbow to see how that works out.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
How... how could I not have remembered this... I must be tired. Thanks for reminding me
That solves all my questions!Why didn't you kill it with the whelps?
Its also a lot easier to remove 8 health than 10 health. Ancient of War exists to help shut down decks like zoo, and the extra 2hp could mean a whole extra minion. There are many more minions and spells that do 4 attack than 5 attack. Ironbark is overkill for minion trading. It suffers the same problem that cards like booty bay bodyguard and Lord of the Arena do. Taunts exist to force your opponent to make bad trades. And if you overbudget on the attack, than you are overkilling those minions.
Because he killed one with his spider. He wasn't that stupid.

It's been saying "Can't get more gold today" for like 30 wins now... in how many hours does it reset? Is it the same time as when the dailies reset?
You can borrow my account for a bit if you want.
edit: Actually nvm, you might rage delete cards.

Yes. Let us both have empty hands and roll out the double fucking Harvest Golem from my top deck when there's 7 cards remaining and I've got fattie taunts and Ysera in there somewhere.
Fuck you, rng.

Go to bed Yoshi. You're at the gold cap, been awake for two days and it's almost midnight there.

I'll be fine... as long as there's zoo out there, I have a duty to accomplish.
edit: on a second thought, I just did the biggest fucking mistake and I'm sure it's because of brain shenanigans...
dude you should seriously sleep before you die

I just realized how long 500 wins in ranked actually takes... all this time I've played this session and only at 69 :lol Not even 1/5th there... I'll never earn any of the golden portraits... as soon as I get around 100 wins, I switch to another class

What's the best control paladin deck out there right now pre-rank 5? I tried tides's taunt heavy version, but the spectral knights seemed underwhelming in the rush heavy lower ranks. They always just stay in my hand and I would rather play spells or taunts. Considering unstable ghouls as a replacement and better early game presence and while they'd work great with equality and the acolytes, I'm worried about them backfiring against my hero power.
If you're gonna mill you might as well go the whole nine yards. Get Mukla/Cho/brewmasters. Otherwise I don't think you're gonna consistently burn your opponent's cards.
Priest vs priest. Thoughtsteal and Mind Control make for some crazy shenanigans.
3 Rags? Sure, why not.
I somehow doubt that.
I only like P vs P when my opponent opens up with double Cleric.

I wonder why paladin doesn't run captain greenskin.
Imagine...
turn 4 truesilver champion, remove a minion
turn 4 your opponent plays a 5 hp minion in response, or even another 4 or less
turn 5 you play captain greenskin, giving you a 5/4 and basically a free removal with the weapon
It is like greenskin's text is "if you have a weapon equipped, remove a minion of X or less hp but take damage from its attack"
I thought of this due to deathbiter coming out and whether greenskin may be ran with that kind of deck and I don't see why not. So I am wondering why paladins don't run it. Perhaps they don't since they usually only run 2 truesilver champions whereas warriors will probably run deathbiter and fiery waraxe so 3-4 weapons.
I get that it is situational, but it is situationally really strong. Gives your weapon an additional removal and the potential to swing the match for the paladin on turn 5 pretty hard since after all, you have another swing after you remove a minion on turn 5. Value truesilver champion. Like a crazy version of eaglehorn bow except reliant on one card to trigger the extra value.

The tidesoftime deck I mentioned a few posts up does. Should have probably linked it.

I'm thinking about crafting him. Got myself an extra gold black knight and while his animation is awesome and golden and shiny... captain greenskin might be a nice card to craft.
Although I still want these cards somewhat:
alexstrasza
antonidas
alakir
ysera
edit:
Oh yeah, I kinda want tirion as well... maybe I should grind out some arenas to pick these cards up.

Why not buy packs right now? Why is Naxx stopping you?
Trust me, I've been close to dying during a game session previously, and I'm nowhere near that point right now
As soon as I get mukla I will. Brewmasters maybe the 2/3 ones but my deck is aimed for late game wins. It works really well if you play dreadlord with having naturalize/poison seeds if they get a good draw

Aaay, folks. Finally decided to play this game since it was sitting pretty on my Battle.net account. After playing Magic The Gathering at a small competitive level for a couple years, it really wore on me. I needed a different card game to try out, and this one was a good one to play. So far, I'm really liking it. I'm winning I'd say about sixty percent of my games. I mainly lose to those who have much, much better decks than I do. I'm running pretty much a few lucky pulls from boosters and the Naxx rares and a lot of the good default cards. I'm mainly running Warrior, I like the playstyle.
On a different note, what's the rule for disenchanting cards? Just do it? I ask, because I've got a couple of epics and one legendary(Gruul) that I pulled from boosters. I'm not particularly needing them, so I'm just wondering I should disenchant them.

Well basically disenchanting is always a loss unless the card is golden(then you get its cost in dusts, besides legendaries which iirc still only give half a legendary cost). So you need to weight wether you think you'll use these cards in the future versus what you can craft with them right now that's useful. For Gruul for example I'd say it's a safe disenchant. It's not like an awful legendary but it's easily one of the weaker ones and generally I don't really see a point in it other than it can be silenced to lose its stats and if you're winning you'll win more when you drop it. There's many big body legendaries that do much more useful stuff(alex and ragnaros being the obvious one but even deathwing or malygos can see more use than gruul I'd say). For the epics really depends on which one it is and such.
I'd say it's a good idea to disenchant a few of your early cards that are not good/you're sure you're not gonna use soon to make cards that fit in a lot of decks. Getting all the common and rares generally makes a stronger deck than having a few epics and meh legendaries. Also disenchant everything past 2 since you can't play more than 2 cards of each, there's a button to do it automatically. Early on I was also disenchanting my golden cards if I had 2 copies of the normal version since golden cards are just cosmetics, but matter of taste here.
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Since you're a magic vet you'll be able to replace cards easily. In the beginning I chose a handful of classes and disenchanted all of their cards for a few weeks to flesh out the classes I did like. A few weeks later and I had replaced them all without issue. Put priority into neutral cards and the must haves for the classes you like. There are some people who say don't de shit because you might hit the lottery 5 months from now when they change the card, but you're handicapping your enjoyment now for dust you might not even need 5 months later. Gruul is a card I would disenchant for example because it yields an instant epic card that has immediate effect on your deck now. Or, for example, if you wanted to build a miracle rogue that's instantly 2 gadgetzans an si agent and a blade flurry - a solid core.
Actually good cards don't bother disenchanting because you will eventually get bored of a class and want to try new ones, but definitely don't hold shit legendaries close. Also, assuming you weren't into foils, dust all golds if you have the regular version for excellent value.
I have found ghoul just amazing in a control pally. I don't even care if it kills 3 of my tokens, wiping an entire board with some fun pyromancer play is pretty awesome. You can also force a yeti to 1 health with truesilver, and just have the ghoul waiting, so good. I based my pally off of kolento's, updated and tweaked it over the past few weeks. I have more heals to more easily survive zoo (even though i've barely faced any this week). I threw in loatheb as he is not easily removed. Tried out spectral knight, but it just wasn't enough bang for the buck. 1 azure, 1 sludge belcher, loatheb, and 1 kodo are the 5 cards which always seem influx.

Playing vs a mill rogue. Dancing swords, coldlight oracle, double vanish, brewmasters to bounce oracles, deathlords, mukla, double sap...
Had 8 cards counter-fitted plus 5 cards die to vanish.

Awesome. I think I'm definitely going to replace the spectrals with the ghouls then.
Anybody watching Reynad stream? He's laddering with a midrange lock. Only rank 10 but good to see him try something original.
