Zoolock now and forever.
It took Face Hunter being a thing for people to admit there is some skill in zoolock.
If I could turn back time...
Hunter just adapted. Hunter used to be big on insane swings with buzzard+UTH combos. Because hunter no longer has insane draw it just adapted to being about constant pressure and using the hero power to put people on a clock.

Proper positioning of minions is something that is often overlooked with zoo (and shaman.)
Because Hunter was always a good class. Even after the Undertaker nerf people were thinking Hunter was done but it came back.

Hunter, uh, finds a way.
But it's mostly the Hero power. Being able to deal 2 for 2 without losing card advantage is strong. Really, really strong. The Hunter meta just switched from Midrange to Face with this change being expedited by the release of Undertaker.
He's pretty worthless in Constructed. I wonder if he would be good if he was a 6/6 that got +2/+2 each turn. At that point he would require an immediate response or you just die.

So doing good this arena run.
I do not think the deck is anything that spectacular, but you be the judge. Druid of the fang combo really has not happened much at all so far and poison seeds backfired in the Mage game. Lost a game to a Hunter because he got a Highmane out of my Deathlord which snowballed the game fast and a game to Mage because you know Mage with Kel Thuzad and Pyroblast.

Really? Seems with whirlwind and Death's bite it's not super effective, unless they have no taunt on board. The good thing about EVERYONE is that a lot removal (explosive trap, consecration, swipe, hounds) don't work. Hellfire, Flamestrike, Equality + Consecrate still do at least.
lol wat?
if anything it makes EVERYONE GET IN HERE worse because the hounds only do 1 dmg each
Yoshichan
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?
No this was the scenario
Warrior had no taunt, he started GETTING IN HERE, massing his entire board with Patrons but without getting lethal.
I unleashed the hounds and killed him (no armor left)

oh also, if you need another link + detailed guide to Face Hunter, I like this one:
http://www.icy-veins.com/hearthstone/hunter-face-aggro-rush-brm-deck
He gives some good info on specific cards and how to play. The only change in my deck is I prefer 2 Glaivezookas + 1 Eaglehorn (instead of 2 Eaglehorns)
If you don't have Leeroy, then just add a second Haunted Creeper

Dusted all three when it was nerfed :/
ah ok
well it's not mandatory by any means, I don't even have it myself even though I only play Face Hunter
just can't make myself spend all that dust for a card like that haha

Went 11-3 with that arena deck got too greedy against a mage, and was punished for it.
i've seen the name BEN BRODE a few times in this thread... what meme does that refer to??

He's a game designer at blizzard that works on hearthstone.

Haha, he's actually one of the key game designers for this game and he's apparently an awesome, fun guy
!Do tell. This would be the part where people have to save up 1600 dust to craft him, or something, yes? I've been playing for a couple of months now and I'm not even up to half that much dust. And I've only had one legendary from packs and it was Nat Pagle so I dusted it. Compared to that amount of effort I bet people are much more likely to drop a few quid/bucks/insert currency of choice here to buy some GvG packs.

holy cow, a person like that actually is a designer on Hearthstone? hahha wow
Sure, nothing wrong with buying packs but what ZealousF is saying is that ur not actually hoping to specifically get Dr. Boom from any of those packs. You're basically just buying dust
I've been having a lot of fun with Misdirection in Face Hunter. Everyone assumes it is Explosive Trap and figuring out ways to use that to your advantage is really fun. You'll get people not attacking you with a full board of 2 health minions or trading their low cost minions into yours and then confidently attacking your face with their remaining fatty only to have it hit them in their face instead. Best is when you can get a weapon-class to attack your face with their weapon and then have it hit and clear their own minion instead.

Like what? I'm curious as to what you're surprised about.
Getting the 1600 dust to craft him is so much easier than opening him in a pack. You guys act like you can just buy 5 packs BAM and all of a sudden you have Dr. Boom. This is nonsense.
yeah I can see it definitely working sometimes, but haven't tried it myself yet
He just seems like a really annoying personality, wouldn't want to work with a person like that.
But I'm in Sales for a Home Builder so I get to sit in a model home office by myself all day long. So I can be choosy haha
The thing with dust is you acquire it very slowly at the beginning because almost all the cards in your packs will be new. So saving up 1600 dust seems nearly impossible to you at this point. But once you've got all of the commons and most of the rares, most of the packs you get will be worth 40 or more dust. Tack on to that any dust acquired in arena runs and the odd golden card here and there and it all starts adding up fairly quickly.
yea this is a good point too, that a lot of new players may not realize at first
Hey KePoW, just wanted to say that it's nice to have you in this thread
G'night everyone!
heck ya broski, cya tomorrow

I'd say Zoo Lock, because it requires a lot more trading.

You can tell what his entire personality consists of just from his laugh?
one aspect of personality yeah. also why I said "seems"
besides this is the internet, it's not really important what we think about some random youtube person

I normally don't rage about RNG but the last 7 Implosions that have been played against me have all hit for 4 damage. So frustrating.
I always fucking hated Implosion but with this Zoo on steroids deck its fucking everywhere.
Watching Brian Kibler's stream and I shit you not he faced 5 Zoolocks and a Handlock in a row.
nice! I've been wanting a golden dr. boom and other golden cards where it involves a deathrattle or multiple minions (sludge, muster, shredder etc)
