Imagine dropping him on the turn they wanted to Doomsayer you. Om nom nom
This guy would be the ultimate Dragon Paladin 4 drop.

I'm playing the version he played on stream yesterday (I don't have Toshley so I can't play the other one, also apologies for the bad res, I'm between PCs ATM):
It's been pretty good. Lost to a Shaman who was brand new to the game (all basics and commons) because he got a Yeti next to his Flametongue from a Deathlord but it's a good deck IMO. It feels less drawn out than full Control Priest but your game plan is still to outlast rather than pour on the pressure. I am thinking of dropping a Death for a Pain.
Yeah I figured out I was using an old list.
Then I remembered that I hate constructed. I currently have 9 decks called "FUCK CONSTRUCTED", not sure how I forgot.

Help me decide what legendary to craft next, gaf!
I currently have the following (in addition to the Nax stuff):
-Antonidas
-Neptulon
-Vol'jin
-Harrison Jones
-Sylvanas
-Dr. Boom
-Rag
-Sneed's Old Shredder
-Malygos
-Ysera
-Onyxia
My favorite classes are Mage and Paladin, so I'm tempted to just craft a Tirion and call it a day. But, I've had a blast with my last craft, Sneed's, and I thing Gazlowe would be a good companion to that.
I know I should wait for Blackrock to hit to see how the Meta swings, and I know Alex is a staple in a lot of decks, but I don't like playing control so I don't see the appeal. Whaddya think?

Gazlowe is really fun but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way craft him. I got him in a pack and I enjoy him enough that I'd never disenchant him but no way I'd craft him over something like Tirion.

I crafted Sneed's recently and have no regrets, but I don't really try to climb the ladder or legend or whatever. He's just too fun.

Why is it sad that that still looks winnable for the mage

I only have 1. I need to craft another.
I had this happen in arena once. I was like lolwut arena.

2 seems like too much anyway.
4/7 on turn 3 attacking *dies*
Feels like a card that's at a bit of odds with itself. An early drop to help you against aggro decks, but you end up taking damage anyway. I think zombie chow is generally just a lot better for what you're trying to do. If that was a 4/2 it might work as an aggro priest card.
You don't think it would work at 3/4 then? I'm trying to conceptualize what kind of 2 drop a hypothetical midrange priest that plays more like arena priest than constructed priest control might want to play. Something that can help you win the game just by making trades and surviving.
I'm probably overreacting. It seems fair, I guess. As a 3/4 it would be straight up OP as hell.

Is the 4 mana paladin card that deals 3 damage and draws a card considered good for paladin decks or bad?
I've had some interesting arena runs recently.
Went 7 wins last night with a Deathwing that I very rarely got to use effectively. Picked it over Troggzor for the hell of it, but it did not work out well. It did win me a game against a Paladin who played a Deathlord and BoK'd it; I think he was surprised at what he pulled from my deck. In my last game I really thought I had a good Deathwing play - both of us were more-or-less top-decking and I killed a medium-sized minion with the drop. Then he played his own Deathwing.
Then I had a pretty easy 12/1 run tonight, fueled by Unstable Portal and Echo of Medivh mostly. My last few games gave me a series of really unfair portal draws - Baron Geddon against a Shaman and Kel'Thuzad (with Echo in my hand) closed out games pretty quickly. For the last win it gave me Gahz'rilla, and I'd just pulled a finicky cloakfield from this Rogue's mechanical yeti.

It's ok. It sees some play, but it's not a staple like consecration, truesilver or aldor. Most decks these days aren't using it.

Paladins have a lot of 4 drop options and with piloted shredder in most pally decks that spell is generally not in use.

Thanks guys!
One more I wanna ask about is the Guardian of Kings thats 5/6 and gives 6 health back. Worth it or too expensive/slow?

It is a situational card for sure. Generally has been replaced by a bunch of legendaries at that cost. But assuming you lack those it is solid.

I wonder about that myself. Healbot seems to be chosen over that in every legend deck i've seen, but wouldn't 1 mana more and 2 heal points less be worth the far better stats in a lot of cases? Especially right now in this split meta between huge agro and huge control, where healbot is far worse against control decks, and Guardian of Kings is only slightly worse against agro decks.
GoK is 7 mana.

I see. Nevermind then. 7 mana is too long to wait to get a heal off verse agro.

Yay for 8 losses in a row dropping from rank 1 to 3. super duper...
Okay, I'll throw up a custom Dragon card, I'm keeping it simple though.
My other custom cards from over the past months are in an album here.
That's an expansive faerie dragon.
Man it would suck to get a 4/1 Twilight Drake from that.Okay, I'll throw up a custom Dragon card, I'm keeping it simple though.

I think that'd be way too good looking at the average dragon which is generally really high cost. You'd have 7 great outcomes with the legendaries and emerald drake, 3 bad ones with faerie dragon, twilight drake and whelp(I think this has a tag anyway), and one eh outcome(azure drake w/o battlecry). Not counting new ones anyway.
Would maybe work better if it added them to the hand at a discount, but I'd lower the mana cost. But still be a premium over unstable portal since the average would be better and it would have synergy with the dragon hold cards.

Ah!, the first time you encounter Dr. Boom...what a wonderful experience. But dont worry, you will see more of him...like in every deck past rank 20.
The super slow Control Paladin generally runs 1x GoK but that's probably more of a tournament deck
Dr Boom sells GvG packs to every player that plays constructed that does not have him yet. He won't be nerfed for a bit because of it, especially since there are no new pack types in Blackrock. They will still be counting on GvG packs to bring in that steady $$$ on the side; So Dr. Balanced stays.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
You guys are aware that Dr. Boom can be crafted, right? And there are other reasons to get GvG packs that aren't Dr. Boom?
I personally prefer to craft classic packs still, since I'm missing more epics and legendaries from it. GvG is a pretty small card set, so I already own the bulk of it.
How many more cards do you guys think we will get this year? I'm betting one more Adventure in 3 to 4 months and another expansion near the end of the year.

I think that's wishful thinking, but I do think we will get something new in the latter half of the year. I don't think we are gonna get 2 more this year though.
The bigger deal is we should in theory get a phone version before the years out. It wouldn't surprise me if they launched the phone version over the Summer.

85 HP at turn 9? Don't mind if I do.
Two Armorsmiths abused his (bad) luck getting not one, but two Unstable Ghouls from his Piloted Shredder -> Baron Riverdare combo. Not pictured: a 22/2 Siege Engine.
Probably the most fun I've had with the game in a while. Thanks Фeн!
Seems like Blizzard is on about a 4 month schedule with Hearthstone. Possibly they'll alternate between adventures and expansions? It wouldn't surprise me if we got a new expansion in July or August rather than another Adventure. Then they'll release something else in December again.
I'd concentrate on having ALL the essential Neutrals before crafting class legendaries but thats just my philosophy. Black Knight is good depending on the meta. Right now Harrison is the trendy Tech Card but I still find TBK more useful. Thalnos isn't seen that much anymore but he's good to have. He fits in many Rogue and Mage decks, though Kobold is a cheap and not-terrible sub for him. Alex would be a good choice especially with Dragons coming out.

July or August seems more poised for the phone version to drop, and I doubt they wanna push new content at the same time. Feels like they would wait then push new content in the fall.

They pushed out the tablet version like 2 weeks after GvG, if anything a big content patch is exactly when I would think Blizzard would like to push the new mobile version, riding the hype of a new patch.
