Makes world leading predictions like "The sun will rise tomorrow"
Sr. Explosion and Angry Lab Dude are the only cards I think really should be nerfed. Maaaaybe Mechportaler and Oh Fire Goblin Man but I personally think they're fine.

The main reason I don't watch his streams is because he never stops complaining. He seems like a nice enough guy, but as far as Kripp is concerned, he's always a victim.

I'll give you that, sure. He always complains everything is a top deck, even when you can see it isn't. And everything is always the exact combination needed to beat him. He never gives his opponents any credit.

Although I think that's more of a recent thing. He wasn't like that. He's played the game like 12 hours a day for 2 years so he might be just burned with it, and let's face it, Hearthstone RNG is infuriating sometimes.
 
Also the evidence is pretty damning. MagicAmy is a fraud/two people. The lows people will sink to never cease to amaze me. Wonder how long they thought they would keep up the charade.

The thing with Kripp's streams is that you don't watch them, you search for the archives and put them on the second monitor while you do something else. That way you can skip whenever someone else is with him on mumble (ALL of his friends are idiots)

I totally agree with this too, I really wish he would mute his voice chat

I have no interest in hearing what his acquaintances say, most of them have really nerdy or hick accents. That's the main reason I like Kripp, because he sounds like a normal dude

He does tend to be somewhat of a douche on occasion, but he's the best streamer I've watched when it comes to motivate his plays and implications for future turns, and I've watched a lot. I like his music as well.

He has a fairly aggressive arena-style, but I'd easily equate him to the top arena-streamers in terms of skill. Hafu might edge him slightly, but that's about it.

Yeah, I like ratsmah a lot. His music is tolerable unless he turns on plugdj. Then it can get pretty shitty. He also gets entertainingly salty at times (like when I beat him :p), but isn't as bad as Kripp.

Guardsman Bob is still the best arena streamer IMO though. Awesome plays, awesome music, awesome attitude.

I really like Bob, but sometimes him talking about streaming and other streams and his stream and other games etc. becomes a bit too

for me.

Also holy shit at this magicamy business. I read that this morning and just figured it was Specialist being salty and shady as usual. Didn't expect it to be true.

Redditor said:
It's been said that you can see the real magicamy if you look closely enough into Hosty's picture frame.

I lolled.
 
I'm drafting a Rogue Arena deck and I'm 29 cards in. Should I pick Conceal (like how MagicAmy concealed her identity), Sap (like all of us were), or Vanish (like what MagicAmy is about to do)?

☑ “This guy's drama is CRAZY!” ☑ “My fake asian chick can't win against a deck like that” ☑ "He NEEDED precisely that canadian dude to win" ☑ “He topdecked the only evidence that could beat me” ☑ "He had the perfect fake personas" ☑ “There was nothing I could do” ☑ “I lied perfectly

Top kek.

Oil Rogue is fun, but it will likely be nerfed with a single card getting changed.

Also, Bladefury should not be amped by spell power imo.

Bladeflury targeting only minions would be the most logical change IMO. It's kind of ridiculous that you can do 14 damage to face AND clear a huge board with a fairly straightforward combo.

I love Ratsmah but I think his play style is a little over aggressive at times which ends up biting him in the ass in the long run.

OMG. I crafted Tirion yesterday.

Yesterday!

Today I open a pack with Tirion and Antonidas. That should be a happy event, but all I can think of is all the dust I just wasted.

That's the thing though, it's completely dependent on set up. For four Mana and one card, Blade Flurry does one damage across the board and to the enemy Hero. Technically two damage to the enemy hero in most cases. With Deadly Poison, that's two cards and five Mana for three across to board and six to something. With Oil that's three cards and eight Mana for four across the board and eight to something. Of course, that ignores the possible combos with a Minion on the board but that still takes a turn to set up, in most cases.

If you're counting Assassin's Blade, that's another card, which also can be removed, and if they Blade Flurry early, they're losing damage since it has four durability and Blade Flurry doesn't care how much you have left.

Rogues are built on the value of the combos they can pull off, it's the biggest strength to the class. You could make the argument that maybe some are to easy to pull off but I don't think it's fair to remove the possible potency that's there.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
If you use Deadly Poison early on for board control, your future Blade Flurries will be weaker. If you save Poison for Flurries, then you risk giving up board control. Sometimes you have to waste charges of weapon/poison to get back board control at a crucial time, giving up late game burst and card advantage.

This is why Rogue is one of the more interesting and difficult classes to play. It's really not a problem when you look at it in the context of Rogue decks.

I just got a golden Troggzor in a pack. I need the following legendaries as yet. Do I dust and craft any of the following in Troggzor's place?

Neutral
Millhouse
Tink
Blingtron
Hemet
Gazlowe
Foe Reaper
Malygos
Thermaplugg
Onyxia

Class
Malorne
Flame Leviathan
Bolvar
Neptulon
Mal'Ganis

I know Troggzor was getting hype before GvG dropped for potentially being amazing, but in a Doctor Boom dominated 7-slot, and with Troggy being a bit of a win-more card that works best on a slow or empty board, he's gotten little fanfare.

That's where I was sitting on it too. If Boom gets nerfed to hell, I could see running Troggz over Geddon in some situations.

Whereas a lot of the other legendaries on my "need" list I don't even want (Millhouse, Tink).

Keep troggzor. When they play their dr. boom, you just bgh it and laugh while bgh sits dead in their hand.
 
Yeah if you have everything else, all the legendaries you listed are pretty underwhelming and not worth crafting IMO over a Troggzor. MAYBBEEE Mal'Ganis or Neptulon if you had a specific deck in mind, or perhaps Foe Reaper. But otherwise I'd say no.

Yeah--those are all the legendaries I have left open. I'd like to nab Mal'Ganis at some point (I love playing crappy demon decks, it's a sickness.), but I know he's not worth dusting Troggzor for.

Troggzor it is!

#firstworldhearthstoneproblems

I empathize. I bugged out in the middle of a 'test craft' (I was in the foolish habit of previewing what golden legendaries look like and then immediately undoing it), and got stuck with crafting a golden legendary. Boom, goodbye 1600 dust.

I get rect whenever paladin pulls out the sword of (in)justice, want to craft Harrison Jones after Antonidas, good idea?
 
People who do the rope thing every fucking turn should be banned from the game.

If you think they're doing it to piss you off, you should just do it back to them. That's what I did the last time I encountered one of those assholes. He soon started playing the game normally.
 
Would give people more reasons to hate on Amaz's stream, lol. Everybody gonna rename their flamestrikes to WW.
Well, the idea would be that only you can see your changes. There'd be profanity everywhere if it was both ways.

But it would be great for steamers though, perfect for in-stream jokes.
 
I would rename blade flurry into The Equalizer and replace the photo with a picture of Denzel Washington. Interesting that I started calling it that before I even heard of that movie.

Equality would become, "You Gone FUCKED up" though. And I'd imagine that would be the least of Blizzard's concerns over profanity.
 
Damn, I just caught up with the drama on Reddit. This has been quite the scam she's been running if all of this holds true. Kind of sad too since I thought she was friends with a lot of streamers (Like Trump).

I wonder if this would bode any change to tournaments rules in the future. I don't know what they'd do, but I can't imagine Blizzard is happy hearing about stuff like this when it involved Tournament play.

Guy I played must be a pro at it then. He didn't give a fuck after I started doing it back. After the fourth round, I started doing it, but it goes against how I play so badly, I couldn't keep it up.
