I went to bed when he put it on sub mode chat because of the 'backstab (like you back stabbed Jenna)' spam which I thought was hilarious. Unless he leaves it on sub mode forever his chat will be like that all the time. Good times.

Unstable Portal would give you a 3-mana Emperor. You could Unstable Portal on turn 2, Emperor on turn 3. That'd be... rough.

I can never remember how to spell it and just call her Windrunner.
I spell it "nine-mana-mindcontrol-combo-part-one"

I spell it "six-mana-mindcontrol-combo-part-one" (thanks Emperor and Reincarnate).

Speaking of Sylvanas, I ran into a weird Control Hunter deck last night that ran Sylvanas, Zombie Chow, Sludge Belcher, and a bunch of other non-standard Hunter cards. I got him down to 1 health with Druid Combo with a Shieldmasta on board, he had Sylvanas, a Gnomish Inventor, and an Azure Drake. He cast Explosive shot (the 5 damage, 2 to adjacent minions spell) on his own Sylvanas to steal my Shieldmasta to try and block my one damage hero power to stay alive. I thought that was pretty clever, although the deck was garbage overall. But it didn't work because I had a Black Knight in hand just waiting for him to taunt up.

Yo, you're supposed to throw matches vs non-face hunters to encourage non-face hunter decks.
You probably don't see many other hunter decks besides the aggressive ones because that's what their hero power facilitates. 2 damage "on a stick" gives them some reach helps them end the game before the control decks can come online.
If you gave the hunter hero power to Warrior we'd probably see lots of "Face Warrior". I think if Blizzard ever wants to move Hunter away from aggro (which is not necessarily what they want to do) they'd have to do something to switch up their hero power to make it go along with other strategies. Honestly I think it's what they tried to do with that GvG minion that lets you shoot minions with your hero power, but it didn't end up seeing much play IIRC.

Sylvanas/Brawl same turn. Thanks Emp. T
That's a situational call, but I think in most cases I'd rather contest the board and ignore card text than hero power/pass. A lot of it depends on what point the game is and what my opponents likely next turn is. If I'm playing against handlock or control warrior, I wouldn't play an Aldor or BGH on curve because the battlecry effect is so strong against those classes. If I'm playing against an aggro deck I'm putting whatever I can on the board to remove their little minions and protect my life total.
Depends on the mode (Constructed vs Arena) and what I am playing against.
If I am playing against an aggro deck and I have a BGH with no other good turn 3 play then I am putting it down. But against control decks that BGH stays in hand.
Where is everyone getting these "get a pack for spectating" quests from?? I never got one, is it only for BRM owners or something?
It's random, but how often do you really see the 100 gold-quest? Just be patient.
Apparently there is a ton of bots at rank 20 auto-conceding against each other farming golden hero wins. I don't know the details of how Blizzard handles matchmaking rating, but there seems to be some system in place meant to discourage this kind of bot farming, and all these bots get low enough rating that their opponents don't get gold or stars, but it still counts as a win for the golden hero for some reason.
I wonder if the spectating quest is a way to slightly reduce the gold flow for arena tickets? I'm actually okay with getting an original set pack since I hardly see those anymore, but it is an overall reduction in how much gold players are getting with that quest in the mix, but with the chance at an extra pack thrown on top.
Or, less cynically, it's just to try and build up the community a little bit. Let's go with that instead!

I'm disappointed that I'm so bad at the game it thinks I'm a bot
I think it only happens if you concede a lot of games early on to tank your ranking. I guess it also might happen if your opponent did that previously. I've never seen it personally but if it only happens that one time it means it was your opponent and not you with the problem.

Dog no-showed, they're the casters playing each other to fill time.
And it's more fun than Kolento versus Dog would have been.
What would be a good replacement for Cenarius in a midrange/combo druid deck? I have everything else to run that deck but am just missing that one legendary. Would Piloted Sky Golem work? I'd be curving a little lower and losing out on some Savage Roar synergy but it is a sticky mid/late game minion.
Anything really. I have Cenarius but didn't even use him in the fast Druid I used to grind my gold portrait. Piloted sky golem, black knight, Harrison jones, emperor, etc.
