Hearthstone |OT| Why tap cards when you can roll need [Naxx final wing out now]

Such a prime example of overthinking and playing too cautious. He knew the brawl was in the deck, so he played conservatively for 10 turns around the brawl only to eventually have to play big cards and here comes the top deck of brawl.
I mean, it was all based on the timing. If he had brawl the whole time, Amaz's play would have been super strong, coming back hard with cards like the fire elemental after it was played. If it was drawn 1 or 2 turns later Amaz's play would have won the game, with the fire ele able to attack 1 or 2 times.
Pure RNG imo.

Wait, there is a Sylvanas card? how do I get one ?

Except there was no reason to brawl before amaz dropped some big minions anyways. Its not like rdu was losing a lot of health.

Either you luck out with a pack or you craft it with 1600 dust.
If you get a crappy golden legendary, you can disenchant it for 1600. That's how I got my Leeroy, disenchanted golden Greenskin.

Oh boy, loot luck is always bad with those crafting things

Wiping the floor, 3-0.

I hope we get to see more of his Warlock tomorrow. It looks quite interesting.
That is interesting. I wonder how it performs.
Miracle Rogue isn't that good against the Tauntadin deck. It has the tools to put some board presence early vs Rogue and the sustain to let it survive the limited damage in the deck.

Any good builds for mages? iam a bit outdated of how much this game have changed and I am getting destroyed in Naxxramas wing 1
Naxxramas is a bit different from the rest of the game since the bosses have OP cards and hero powers. It's more of a "what kind of deck will beat this specific scenario" and rolling for a good start... well in heroics anyway. A half competent deck should clear normals easily as TB has been clearing them with joke decks.
Anyway, I usually check hearthpwn deck lists for ideas.

Just wrecked this 2 seconds ago. It seems crap compared to zoo or normal handlock, at least as a a miracle rogue player.

it can probably squeak out some wins on surprise factor alone. but the idea will need some more fine tuning.
What I mean is it has the Taunts to put out early to force the Rogue to use a card; even tokens can mean some pressure if they're allowed to go crazy. Any spell used is essentially one card lost later. All the Taunts and Belcher especially just really helped prey on the "we only run 1 Sap now" Miracle builds.

On the subject of Miracle Rogue:
Was trying a tempo Shaman deck:
Turn 2 Egg
Turn 3 Deathlord
Turn 4 Dark Iron Dwarf and traded against a Gnomish Inventor (Board State is now 4/4, 2/6, 4/4)
Turn 5 Loatheb
> In this turn the Rogue finally killed the Deathlord and it summoned a Gadgetzan, no spells could be casted. Free trade for my 4/1 Dark Iron Dwarf
Turn 6 Spectral Knight
The Rogue was so wrecked it wasn't even funny.
Sealed the deal with Rockbiter Doomhammer.

This token mage is what I have been playing on ladder. It beat most of the Naxxramas normal opponents, heroic Anub'Rekhan and heroic Razuvious with maybe 2-3 attempts per boss.
For most heroic bosses you have to make a deck that is at least somewhat custom.

I get the feeling demonlock is an extremely high skill deck.
Here's my updated Paladin deck. I've done some work on it, and still evaluating certain slots. The Faceless Manipulator I would probably swap out for The Black Knight or some other card if I could. I also have some new additions like Cairne and the two ERFs that I'm evaluating to see whether they fit.

The Sylvanas+Reincarnate combo is hilarious.

Eh just because it's good in one tournament doesn't mean it's good on the ladder. Is everyone gonna put Harrison jones in their decks now because of this tournament? God I hope so lol.
Edit: beaten
I've watched people, even realz, ladder with paladin. I've played people pretty high up in the ladder as well playing paladin. It is definitely ladder viable.
People won't copy the deck card for card. They'll play a version for ladder but it will be largely the same.
Attacking around it and leaving it alive as long as possible perhaps? Lol, probably not more of a dick move, but it haaaaaas to be pretty close.
Using a Blessing of Wisdom on it as well? I had a paladin try it, I managed to top deck reincarnation. He emoted after I did that. xD
Maybe it finally goes down to 1hp, and then you cast Holy Light on it to heal it back up.

Summoning a taunt totem every single turn can also be pretty cruel.
Reincarnate is really an awesome card in the current meta. People go for your face forcing you to waste damage on shitty minions. Then you Ancestral Spirit and Reincarnate an almost dead giant and make them regret their face hitting choices.
Along with Ancestral Healing, Shaman has basically 2 forms of full healing for big minions.

Guess my priority now is to get the Anthonidas card (curse you anthonidas we meet again), mana wyrms and draw card minions
Since my dota 2 streaming failed miserably I'm streaming hearthstone, yay!

Care to share your decklist please?
I'd personally be really happy to see Paladin back on the ladder. More variety is always good.
Realz ladders with weird stuff all the time though. He was trying some Mage decks yesterday. Not long ago he tried Crusher and a spell power Shaman similar to the one StrifeCro brought to IEM Shenzhen. Then some Taunt Druid. That's what makes his stream so interesting to me. He's always trying unusual things.
Though he can afford to since he qualified for Blizzcon a long time ago. While someone like Trump is still trying to get in so he can't really do crazy experimental decks.
Trump down to 84 by the way.

Mr. Community
Yeah, always interesting to watch.
And Trump needs Blizzcon desperately, his tournament presence is null. Same for Hafu, but at least she's qualified already.

Trump should have stopped playing when he was at 2
Nah. Make room for interesting people.

Those interesting people have already qualified at this point
