Drakonid crusher in warrior? Eh, maybe... not likely a control archetype though. I don't see shieldmaiden being replaced by drakonid. So likely not in control but maybe a more midrange. Even then... shieldmaiden is really good.

Could probably go back to running two shield blocks to make up for taking out the Shieldmaidens. Even if you don't get off the effect, a 6/6 for 6 isn't bad at all.

At the very least, Crusher is a great arena card.

They showed a card with Lord Victor Nefarius on it. So I think we will get both human and dragon Nef.

The real question is, which legendary will we get from Molten Core? Majordomo?
Hard to tell,most other MC bosses aren't that intersting.
I would say Golemagg.

I'm fairly certain that for Blackrock Depths we will get the Dark Iron Emperor.

But compare a 6/6 for 6 to any six drop that actually gets ran in a deck. Common ones in the meta right now are Sylvanus, Black Knight, Shieldmaiden, Savannah, Fire Elemental, and Cabal. Everyone one of these cards either does something the turn it enters or is sticky.

A 6/6 for 6 in constructed might very well be bad.

Edit: I'm not sure it needs to be said, but I think Twitch chat might be the single saddest group of people on the planet.

I see Black Knight and Cabal get played without a target just to get a minion out of the board in bad situations pretty often. They're comparable IMO.

Any tips for Warlock, Warrior and Paladin class challenges in Naxxramas? Done all the others but can't seem to do those.
 
Why are a bunch of HS players hanging out in a house together, doing jigsaw puzzles and eating pizza? That's a porno premise, not a Twitch stream.

There are a lot of guides up, just google. It has been way too long since I've played them to give any accurate advice. I do remember paladin being much easier if you got your card draw to work, mainly divine favor.

The Paladin challenge is just an RNG zoo lottery. Get as many cheap minions on the board as you can, you will almost always have way too many copies of Avenge in hand so use those, win once you happen to get a 12/12 Silver Hand Recruit.
 
I wonder how viable it is to just craft the cards I want from blackrock, as opposed to paying for the wings. I don't have a ton of interest in the single-player content.

You won't be able to. You can't craft of disenchant Naxxramas cards, and the ability to craft golden versions of them only unlocks once you have the normal card. I'm 99.99% sure it's the same thing for BRM.
 
I've been thinking about running illidan over dread infernal in demon handlock (strifecro's list) just for the sake of actually playing him.

He was my third or fourth leg. and hasn't been played once.

Goddamnit. Game is broken, literally. It's been annoying me by freezing up with relative frequency on trying to go in matches for forever (Like, the wheel would freeze and cause instant loss when it finally loaded, yet everything else runs smoothly and fine). But now, it's giving me a "Couldn't switch to requested monitor resolution" and turns into a tiny, broken box whenever I try to load. I changed literally nothing and yet earlier today it was working (although freezing up a good bit), and now this. I already tried "scan and repair" in the battlenet application.

Any help? Would "Reset-In Game Options" break anything like my collection, or just the base settings? Haven't tried that yet due to that concern. Bleh.

"Risked" it and reset in-game options, which fixed the big problem. Though any tips for that lag stuff would be greatly appreciated still.

Forsen played that last game fucking awfully, so lucky with the topdick Iceblock.

Yeah although that was some serious rank 24 Face Hunter play too. Wrong mulligan, no hero power first 5 turns and FUCKING LEEROYING THE DOOMSAYER BRO FLAMESTRIKE AND BLIZZARD EXIST

Either player could have won this like 3 turns earlier

Trump pointed out the UTH + Volcanic Drake combo in his review. I wonder if Dragon-Hunter can be a thing.

Probably not.

I don't see it. Dragon decks are value based. Hunter is more aggressive. I think the Muster combo makes Paladin the more popular option with Volcanic Drake. Hero power also gives you greater chances to get it cheaper in general.

Holy shit, I forgot how much I hate arena. Bullshit 3 games in a row.

4 games. Yeah, i'm done with arena until the next packs expansion. At least I only blew 300 gold, and still have plenty for blackrock.

I opened Nozdormu in a pack and I didn't even dust him.

I'm at that point I guess, lol

Maybe Blizzard should consider best of 3 matches for ladder before determining a winner.

I always feel like if my cards play out a certain way against another person, I can win.

Leave the single games to casual.

People would riot all over the world if they were forced to play against cancer decks 3 times minimum when rolling against them.
