I don't think Volcanic Drake will be a strong card, the 4 health is too much of a liability, even if you can play it for cheap.

Lol that was the shortest sextape ever rip B U S H C O A C H
Do you think that Blizzard intended for Mechs to basically become the Mage tribe? I mean, in terms of numbers, Mech cards were introduced rather evenly to all classes, I think.
I'd almost want to call Totems the Shaman tribe, since they have a number of cards that modify those, and Totems invariably become a core part of the Shaman strategy (I think).
Although with Neptulon, Murlocs are core to a Shaman tribe strategy.
I'm hoping Priests get something cool introduced one day that's all their own.

Mechs were totally supposed to work for all classes. Blastmage isn't even such a cool card, it just happens to be really good. Especially in combination with standard Mage stuff like Flamestrike and the burst spells. I wish Iron Juggernaut was more viable, that's such a cool card.

My Mech Tribe comment was a joke 
.

Not entirely, since everyone got mechs, but they do have more than most.
-Snow Chugger
-Soot Spewer
-Blast Mage
-Flame Leviathan (Legendary)
Warrior is the only other class with four dedicated mech cards, because Mech Warrior.
Warrior also notably still lacks a viable tribe, so I think that it was supposed to be mechs.

Mage is the best for mechs because of spare parts and Archmage synergy. Blastmage is also incredible. Whether they intended it or not is was destined to happen the moment the design for the spare parts system was finalized.
Warrior has one viable tribe, doesn't need any more.
EVERYBODY GET IN HERE.
It's totally a tribe.
One day I'll make a dwarf tribe, paladin of course.

I really hope Lifecoach wasn't banned from Twitch. He was one of the best streamers.
If he wants to come back, he will be back.
Wow Alesh got rekt by RNG

Bad RNG and not enough experience with Everyone-get-in-here-Warrior is not a good combination for a tournament.
Alesh still couldn't believe it after the match was over. He just wandered in the background going
Yes, but it would take some setup. Though they will most likely have some vods.

You're forgetting Rend as well.
You ask why not play the deck that "inherently" supports dragon cards? Plenty of reasons. Paladin and rogue operate very different and each has different strengths and weaknesses, even when both are using dragons. As long as a deck isn't just trying to do something another deck does well, but only worse than it, the deck is justified. Potentially even great in the right meta.
If that weren't true we'd have only a single deck of each archetype because all but the "best" would just be redundant to the "best". But that is clearly not true.
And just for example, a difference between dragon rogue and dragon paladin is the amount of high tempo + strong removal rogue has, that paladin absolutely lacks.
As for priest and dragonkin sorcerer, we'll see. I think it is more than a solid card, perhaps even great, for priest. One PWS and it is a 4/8. Hit with velen's chosen and we're talking 6/10. That is pretty gross for priest imo. I don't see why you think it would be an inconsistent card. At its worse it is still a 5 hp minion for 4. If you're running about 6 spells that target minions beneficially, I think you'll have little trouble getting value out of the card most of the time. And it enables yet another 5hp minion, blackwing technician of course.
Potentially benefiting the whelp as well. People often point out - why not just run zombie chow, after all you have auchenai. Well, not every priest deck necessarily wants to run auchenai. Or maybe you want two of both or a mix of the two.
I'm pretty sure you can. The phone version is the full game with just a reworked UI.
Yes. The game is completely cross platform.
hmm ok, I guess i'll have to figure it out. When I click on my friend it only seems to bring up the chat window.
If they are able to be challenged, you just click the little crossed swords next to their name. They can't be in a game or have their status set to busy or away.
Normals don't require that much thought, just a good basic deck. Though you can check hearthpwn for decklists if you want.
They are designed to be completable with basic cards.
No idea how new you are, so make sure you get all of the basic cards. That means getting each class to lvl 10.
Watch Trump Teaches, there is a link to it in the first post. This will give you a general idea of what each class is good at and some good basics on how to win.
Try to build a deck to take down the bosses. Each boss is different and often requires unique decks that play against their broken cards or combos.
If all else fails, check out hearthpwn which has guides for how to complete the adventures.
Lothar vs Alesh, Game 4, the defining RNG:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY9npmRkYyE
Alesh was so tilted that he wouldn't even shake Lothar's hand afterwards, and claims it was because Lothar "BMed" him, which is BS because Lothar was trying hard not to laugh at the combination of the bad RNG and the over the top babyrage reaction of his opponent.

Vortex talking about how he changed his lineup right before his game with Lothar?? Why is that even a thing?
I played vs 1 deck with it. It lost.
I don't remember Lothar doing anything out of the ordinary for the rest of that game. I guess if he was so shocked at the turn of events that he forgot you can look at the green outline around a card to see if it's dead, he might be shocked enough to have interpreted normal play as BM.

Went 4/0 with an arena deck, then hit a wall of 3 losses in a row. One Warlock had a legit demonlock deck with caller turn 4, into Mal'Ganis, into floating watcher, into succubus, into Implosion. Dude played like 1 non-demo card.
Here's my next draft. Seems really good but so was my last one so who knows.

Placed down Chromaggus, had lay on hands in hand, made it stick and avoided a rag hit
Take a screenshot before I play lay to memorialise this moment
Come back to game he has conceded
That will never happen again

Conceding before someone can pull off an awesome combo to deny them fun is next level BM.Placed down Chromaggus, had lay on hands in hand, made it stick and avoided a rag hit

Ok guys, thanks for the advice. I've yet to level up all the classes, I'll focus on that.
Do you know those games where you think about a move, decide "this is good unless he has X card," and he has precisely that?
I just had 6-7 of those games in my last dozen. Played a weapon and thought "this is fine as long as he doesn't have Harrison in his hand," attacked a boom bot and thought "this is fine as long as it doesn't hit my flametongue (I had 4 minions out + my face) and doesn't do at least 3 damage to it," and that's precisely what happened; had lightning storm played against me and thought "it's fine as long as he doesn't do max damage to all 3 of my creatures," which is exactly what happened; a game where a hunter had two companions and as he was summoning the first I thought "just not huffer," which it was, and on the second I thought "just not leoc," which it was, and so forth. Really frustrating.

This is the game we play. In other news, I've been running Harrison in my Control Warrior and he really flips the table on Paladin and Hunter in some matches.
It's the worst. Even more so when whatever you are taking a calculated risk against has such a tiny chance of happening (like the boom bot example). Random effects in action.
People seem to only remember the times RNG works against them and not the times it works for them. If they actually took the time to add up every single instance of RNG over thousands of games, they'd probably get results showing a near even split.
Or perhaps they could just accept it and become better players like Soka.
