That's exactly what I'm saying... the ladder experience is garbage right now even though the meta is good.

I like figuring out a deck that works on ladder. it's a unique challenge that usually pushes you outside of your comfort areas.

Is there any deck that shouldn't include Loatheb and Sludge Belcher? I feel that even putting it in Zoolock has its pros.
Yeah that was exciting lol

i've been facing a million zoo decks so i whipped this old gem out:
as you can see no need for loatheb or sludge belcher. the only modification from the old deck are the mad scientists.

so many dudes
Haha, he was pretty much calling him bad yesterday and even said he had the best group for himself.
he looked like he wanted to kill himself
You shoulda seen the salt flowing from Reynad just now when he was talking to Kripp. Probably the saltiest I've ever seen him. Talking about how he probably doesn't want to enter any more tournaments and is thinking about renting a scooter while he's in China and just driving off!
Well he's right. BO3 in this game is stupid as fuck.
No, I completely agree. But once you see the VOD you'll see what I mean. He actually legitimately talked shit about Kungen and RDU, couple more peeps I think as well. I know Kungen's not the greatest player, but you don't sit in on a live tournament stream and just start throwin' stones. There are sore losers, and then there's Reynad.
Well, actually weren't they saying it got changed to random pick from the ban system without much notice?
Random pick combined with Bo3 system just causes the games to be a bit of a coin flip really.
That said, despite Reynad being a good player and having some truth to his complaining, I don't agree with how he's spoke about some other players in the interviews.

Playing against control warrior with Priest feels so dirty.
All your cards are my cards, your board is my board, and thanks for having so many legendaries in your deck so I can steal them from your deck before you get to play them and then also steal them from your board when you do, so I can play two copies of a legendary I don't even have in my deck LOL.
I also drew like 4 cards with a pyromancer + shadow madness + power word combo on the warrior's acolyte.

All players you mean.
True. But the handlock ones sting me much more.
You don't half-heart warlock decks. All or nothin'.
Was almost certain he didn't at the time and even more certain now he's proven himself at other tournaments, he's just a really good player. Better than Reynad at least.
If anything he's good at topdicking

How would he have cheated? (Didn't see the tournament)
If anything it was blizzards fault not RDU's. One of his friends told him the card of his opponent hand via in-game chat.
Note that this happened at Dreamhack, not the current tournament. Anyway at this point most people who's opinion matters think he didn't intend to cheat and his friends were just jerks.
Not quite, that would have been blatant. One of his friends said 'hi mom' in a message because it was on stream and others thought it was some sort of code to tell him his opponent had a certain card iirc. Most thought he didn't cheat but Reynad went crazy on his stream challenging him to a $10k money match because he was 100 percent sure he cheated. Rdu turned it down, then beat him 3-0 a few weeks later in a tournament.
No, one friend told him directly that Amaz had Hunters Mark and Eaglehorn Bow. Hi Mom was a separate thing earlier in the tourney. That's why people harp on him because it was 2 incidents in the same tourney from 3 different people.

it was the easiest one to turn into a meme on reddit. the other one was in whatever RDU's native language is so most people didn't learn about it until someone translated the message.
regarding the WCA tourney the format is pathetic. it benefits the chinese players greatly because they have weird decks so the randomness will force less than optimal plays from people who run better cards. you don't want to introduce more randomness into a card game, you want to reduce it so that player skill can shine through. I understand there are time constraints but that's why you set up many multiple stations instead of just two.
We just need this
Funny thing is, that card would make more logical sense (destroy secrets for gain) if the character was Perez Hilton, but his persona isn't in the game.
Ek0p and Reynad loosing is almost better than a delicious meal.

Does anyone run shadow form in a priest deck? I always did and it usually worked out late game.

Only thing I know about Shadow Form is that you can heal, use the card, and the deal damage if you have the mana. Not sure if it still works like that. Would also be interesting to see if you can Shadow Form > deal 2 damage > Shadow Form > deal 3 in the same turn. Probably not worth it though, ten mana for five damage.
In somewhat related note, while watching Day9, he was frozen by Water Elemental, he used Jarraxus, and then was unfrozen and could attack. So I guess it works around an idea switching one thing out for another. (Hero power / Actual hero )

You can and if you still have the board it's completely worth it.

Yep. Deal 2 damage, Shadowform, deal 3 damage, and you still have 3 mana left.

Don't think I've seen this before. Match started, I picked my cards, and then waited for my opponent.
Then we both exploded. Counted at a tie. Just kind of weird.
