Never let gnimsh cast again.

That was a slaughter was hoping for a closer 5-3 5-4 game but damn that miracle rogue. Just replace Gnmish with a competent caster.

Had this happen last night. Had a perfect mage deck and managed to go out 2-3 (my average is 5-6 these days) because I never draw my clears. Oh well I did play a mage so it is my fault for being that person. But hey half of us are that person right now.

Just catching up on the Seatstory cup archives, my god is there anything more pathetic than a sore loser?
Reynad with another salty interview, I can see why he's disliked by so many.
Savjz and Xixo are fucking champions, their series is probably the most entertaining I've seen in competitive Hearthstone so far.

This game is in desperate need of different modes/customization. I'd like to see:
1) No legendaries option
2) MTG style draft mode
3) Two on Two mode
4) Bidding draft mode
5) Choose your starting hand option
And there are dozens of other conditions I would like to see. They're way too complacent with this game.

I would absolutely love more draft options but I feel like they have hamstrung themselves with the class system.
Maybe down the line they'll introduce "multiclassing" or something (to a percentage) and bring a new draft along with that.
You don't even play ranked though, it's kinda no wonder.
Yep, I love the more relaxed tournaments like this where everyone is in the house. I thought theude and mirrani hugging at the end of their match was great (both Czech, probably good friends), need more of that.
Theude is German though

Was up too late and had a lot of gold doing nothing so I just bought a pack before bed:
AWWWWW YEAH
But wow, I've been super lucky with legendaries. Not necessarily in drop rate, but getting usable ones. I've unpacked:
Cenarius
Tirion Fordring
Edwin VanCleef
Golden Lorewalker Cho (made Ragnaros from it)
King Mukla
Captain Greenskin
Illidan Stormrage
The Black Knight
Nozdormu
Not too bad for 9 months of casual play.

Liquipedia has the little flags next to player names, super helpful.
Hearthpwn will have them up sooner or later.
Ugh, sometimes I hate this fucking game, i'm up against a priest, have 4 minions on the board (1 spectral knight, 1 yeti, 1 ancient of lore and a keeper, first three have 3/4 hp left) he has nothing on the board. He's on 16 hp i'm on 24, he plays auchenai + 2x zombie chow + coh and hero power... bye bye board and 12 dmg to the face -.-'

I need a fucking glossary for all these terms.
Does on Curve mean casting a "6" mana cost card on the sixth turn, etc?
Does pushing for lethal mean ....killing the enemy?
Does Topdeck-ing a card mean... drawing the card?
There are so many more.

Also, how do you tell if you're playing a bot? And how the fuck does a bot play this game of all games? Did they manage to create some type of trainer app that reads what cards are being put into play and reacts appropriately?

I'm sure you can figure them out.
Curve refers to that cards fit the mana costs of one or several upcoming turns, for example, to have Cost 4,5,6 cards in hand after your third turn, so ideally, you can play a card efficiently each turn, thus fitting the curve (the term comes from how the costs look on a 2D graph).
"Pushing for lethal" usually means ignoring board control and instead going for the kill. Like when between the cards you have on hand and/or the ones you have on the board can get your opponent low enough that he can't possibly deal with all the damage you have and you can kill him next turn.
Top-deck means exactly that. The card that comes from the top of your deck during your turn. To top deck someone means to draw the best possible answer at that moment.
Bots play at regular intervals (they wait a few, exact amount of seconds between each action) and you don't see them hovering over cards or hero power. That's how you can easily tell.

yes. it's important for a couple of reasons. higher cost usually means a better card and you almost always want to play your most valuable card. another reason is that if you're playing multiple cheap cards per turn you're going to run out of cards fast. it's the reason zoo really only works for warlock because they have on demand card draw.
yes. getting lethal simply means killing your opponent. the alternative is to fight for the board, which means you're killing their minions.
yep! it refers to the card you just drew being the one your really needed.
yeah. this is my first CCG so I was confused a lot for the first several months. things like tempo and card advantage are trickier to explain. literal volumes have been written on them.
--
bots play at a very steady pace and you never see the cursor moving around. and they're almost always playing shaman or zoo.
Yeah I know. Its a shame because I really do love the games mechanics. But I don't really enjoy any of its endgame at all. None of it. I've coasted this far putting up with it, but I don't think Ill really enjoy the game until they get some new modes in that I enjoy playing.
Arena/Constructed-Casual got old super fast and I don't care for ranked at all. I grinded through them to collect the cards I wanted, and now that I have, I just don't have the desire to play at all anymore.

there being an endgame for this type of game seems weird to me. it's like chess not having an endgame.
The problem is the BO1 structure. Single matches feel too much like coin flips so you play to gain ranks/gold/cards and not for the joy of having a great match.

Yeah, I tried to use that to my advantage, but it didn't really work. I thought that Abomination + Poison Seeds would be a board clear (like an expensive version of Wild Pyromancer + Equality), but the Abomination's deathrattle triggers before the 2/2s are summoned. I think that Poison Seeds could work in a control deck where you use it to downgrade late game minions to manageable 2/2s, like an AoE Polymorph.
Imagine the other guy writing a post in parallel dimension GAF: "GAF today I used a Black Knight to kill an earth elemental I lived the dream!"
No please I'm trying to purge the memory from my mind
I haven't used it much so I thought it was a transformation effect. The enemy had a Highmane on board, so the 2 extra hyenas gave him lethal. FML
Well, you learn something new everyday.

Got you beat, Turn 9 Maylgos + Soulfire + Soulfire just happened to me now.
Now that's just obscene. How are you holding up?
