Sad Loatheb is sad.

Bye bye Kolento
I know.... Brawl I guess, but still, it felt really strange when you were so close to lethal.

Yeah, I don't understand why he didn't play Loatheb.
I guess with Brawl he would of lost his board but there was a good chance that Alextraza would of died as well. That's going to hurt for a long time.

Brawl with Alex winning was the only way he could possibly lose that game. Except for that combo of course, but you can't play around everything.
I think it was the right play in theory, it just didn't quite work out.

I didn't watch the whole last game, but maybe kolento should have better anticipated that burst because iirc the warrior played an inner rage which points to this type of build.
He couldn't account for the topdecked Deathbiter.
I would've played Loatheb/Argus without even thinking about it but I'm not a pro player. Sometimes pros make "mistakes" by overthinking a move when a simpler, more obvious play would've gotten the job done. It's not really a misplay. For every 9 good decisions he makes through careful analysis, 1 decision is off the mark because he overcompensated. It happens.
Brawl wiping away both Taunts would've put him in the danger zone as well... UNLESS he had Loatheb in hand to stall for a turn.

That is true, but credit where credit is due because a few turns before his opponent did nothing but armour up.
That flagged a brawl was coming and the bluff worked.

I think Kaor lost that by being too greedy. He would have been combo proof if he played that different.
Charge/Worgen/Inner Rage/Rampage aren't unheard of for Warrior decks, but they are definitely not common.

Maybe it's just me, but Kaor looks so sad.

That wasn't Kaor.
Oh. Whoops. I have a hard time paying attention to the stream when Druid starts getting a lot of play.

Really not liking all the RNG cards they have shown so far.

I think they moved up from 100 new cards to 120, of course the extra 20 cards could be from things like the Tinkertown Tinkerer, but they've shown less than 30 cards. I think the main reason they're parading these cards over any others is because they fit the main theme of "Goblins vs Gnomes." It's all about their different Engineering styles, which way back when, were all about RNG and having it blow up in your face. It's probably more about getting people hyped for all the crazy stuff to happen. If they showed only cards like the Spider Tank, I highly doubt people would get that excited. Of course, I could be wrong, and everything is going to be a RNG-fest come next month.
Better start praying.
