dave is ok
aztek is ok
My legendaries are Illidan, Hogger, Greenskin and Mimirons Head. Should I dust every single one of them?

Hafu does a lot of Arena too and has done some drafts with other streamers where they debate the cards, which can be helpful. She also sometimes does drafts on her own where she explains every decision so she is better than Kripp in that respect for learning. However, she plays music on her stream so the VODs are muted during some spots because of copyright BS.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Nah, Greenskin and Hogger are fine. Illidan might get buffed in the future (LOL)
RNG boys
That's how HS is designed and I love it as a casual new card game player
I don't care competitive balance lol
No, Kripp sucks. He never explains his plays and you won't learn from him.
If your goal is to learn then watch Ratsmah or ADWCTA. Even Hafu would be better than Kripp. Guardsmanbob is ok.

I really really like that very few of the new cards in BRM involve any inherent RNG and very few involve annoying deathrattle mechanics.
GvG went fucking ham with the RNG. Dr Balanced, Madder Bomber, Unstable Portal, Piloted Shredder, Sky Golem, Sneeds, spare parts randomness etc.

Half the time they don't even use them with an overload spell at all. I've seen them go full Dennis and coin it out to hit face.
Thank you! I watched one Kripp stream and all he did was super fast draft some good arena card with no synergy, complain about rng over and over and still easily pull out an 8 win streak. Ill check out the other streamers.

Died three times at Ragnaros. Any tips? What's the best class to use against him?
If heroic idk. If normal just do a face hunter and save enough burst to kill him the turn after he switches
I defeated him using this Basic Shaman deck https://i.imgur.com/fshP93G.png someone had posted on Reddit recently.
Get board control and fill your side of the board, make sure to keep Majordomo at around 20 health so he doesn't throw out cheap molten giants. Once you have enough minions on the board use bloodlust to kill Majordomo and Ragnaros in one go.
A lot of the time, deciding what to do first and then sorting the moves in order of what does the most damage to your opponent and the least to you would make the boss AI ten times better. I have to assume it is intentionally as shit as it is now because it's either this or perfect AI, which would be impossible to beat.
Thaurissan's wife attacking before Thaurissan does anything seems intentional. He doesn't control her, so he can't use Dark Iron Dwarves on her to get more face damage.
Yeah, watching Kripp live is not the best for learning, but I do enjoy his Youtube videos.
Cosigned. Ratsmah is a bit too tempo-oriented for my taste, but on the other hand that aspect has become way more important post-GVG.
I beat him with a midrange shaman with raggy on board. When he popped I just cleared the board and destroyed his armor, allowing my Rag to kill him. Seemed fitting (and slightly annoying that there was no VA for playing rag against him)
I used a taunt heavy no combo ramp druid. He couldn't deal with kelthuzad. I even used MCT to steal a molten giant for luls. Just build a scary board and kill him.
The worst of those is Mimiron's so if you're desperate for dust consider that one first.
I'd hang onto them, your collection will grow and I find I regret dusting the cards I did now that I have a better card catalog.
I think it's been that way for a long time. You combine the low skill ceiling and the inherent RNG of the game and the gap between players who aren't brain-dead isn't going to be much if anything. I'm sure there are hundreds, maybe thousands of players better than Forsen, Kungen, Alesh, Gnimsh etc (just players I consider bad tournament players at SeatStory) but I'd rather watch Forsen than a random guy you've never heard of.

LOL every time Amaz gets pagle from a shredder he draws an extra card every fucking time!
Reynad would be my first invite to every tournament.

Wow. Druid had me at 1 HP and he drops Executus with like 20 HP left. Cost him the game. That card is just downright terrible.

HAHAHAHA I'M DYING
So I decided to try out Majordomo against NOVICE PRIEST AI.
This guy did NOTHING except healing himself and putting out READY FOR ACTIONS and Elven Archers... I get my Majordomo killed (equality) and as soon as I become Ragnaros, before I even try out the hero power, look what the novice AI did to me:
Ahahahahhahahahahaha

What a shitty legendary. Still think it could work in Warrior though (armor up!)
You turn into Ragnaros twice, yep. Not that exciting.
I still prefer Bolvar's but I do like his as well. Dammit blizzard.
Armor resets to 0 when you become Ragnaros.
WHAT! aw fuck man
Toshley is another really nice effect that you never see because Toshley is only run in tournament-level control priest decks for no reason at all. Seriously, why?
If Executus removes armour it's almost a good play in these extended control warrior matchups we've seen dozens on in the tournament. Have an empty board against an enemy Sylvanas, play Executus, kill Sylvanas with Shield Slam or Execute, win the game.
I had really good luck with my Legendaries. First was Al' Akir, then Jaraxxsus. Next was Cairne (who was top tier at the time) My first "bad" one was King Krush. After that i got Grommash and TBK.
I got a Golden Harrison, but I dusted him for Slyvanas. I know Harrison is good but I needed Slyvanus pretty badly.
GvG I've not been so Lucky. Blingtron. Mimirons Head, and FoeReaper.

Meanwhile they give Rend Blackhand an assassinate animation and the end of turn Emperor thing is reused again.

Watch Adwcta's and Merps' "Arena Coop" series. They're the guys who run the HearthArena website. Once a week they do a run together (co-op, coop) and discuss every pick and debatable play. They are both extremely good. I used to watch Hafu (back during Naxx-era), but they're on another level, and with much less distraction.

Just pick a run for a class you like and you'll learn a lot. Make an account and use their site during drafts for deck/class adjusted card values (it also keeps a record of all your runs, winrates etc.). The card valuer tries to adjust for deck synergies and your curve needs. Obviously you don't follow it like a religion, but it often suggests something relevant I hadn't thought of.
Yeah, lazy.
Isn't Rend's a bit different though?
His actual intro is, yeah. But I'd think the killing effect should take priority.

Just because they call it a donation doesn't make it a donation. The tournament is a business and it is another revenue stream.
It didn't always say 50% goes to the prize pool. I feel like that's unprofessional.
I get why they're doing it.
