Congrats to purple, but I'm mostly interested in where things go at blizcon and who made it, so also hyped to see jab and hotform make it. I don't know nias but seems like a solid player as well.
The archon/amaz hate around here, I'll never understand.

ladder warriors sometimes need the reminder that you can also play the game for fun
I got two of those also. I made a (terrible) high value gold card hunter deck with golden lock n load, golden ball of spiders, and golden ram wrangler. ALL THE BEASTS

Embrace the control hunter meta.
Totem Golem is a good card. Shit's practically an insta-pick in arena. But it can't carry the deck on its back all by itself. And in Constructed, a vanilla 3/4 isn't a strong answer for all the other 2 drops people play right now. Minibot. Haunted Creeper. Wyrmrest Agent. Mad Scientist. If more people were playing 2/3's and 3/2's it would be a lot better.

Shaman and Rogue need to get a damn good card in the new adventure

Just pulled a golden Ysera from a pack. First time I've pulled a legendary that I will actually use.

Congrats BL, great card
Glad to see purple win it, despite his inability to keep his head straight when the camera is on him as pointed out by GAF twitch chat. Overall the series was fun, but the best part for me was actually seeing people innovate on decks. The finals in that regard were really boring, 2/3 games were about people stalling until their win condition emerged.
I'm on like a 12 win streak with face druid, this shit is ridiculous.
i thought I was going to get bodied by a tempo mage but he conceded on turn 5.
Yeah I don't think it is the most amazing deck ever, but it has given a lot of people crazy win streaks this season.
Probably not. Between being sick and a 30 hour trip home from the Maldives he will probably be MIA for a day or 2
Eh it only looks good in a Fatigue Warrior deck, in a Control Warrior deck it weakens your matchup against other Control decks and only slightly increases your chances against Aggro/Midrange decks. As a 3 damage removal it's overcosted at 3 mana, and the armor often doesn't do anything in non-face matchups.
Because they see pro players running it and they follow the crowd.
Personally speaking Bash is fine right now because there's a lot of aggro running around and sometimes you don't want to use War Axe to take some face damage to remove a creature in the early game. It's also useful in combination with other CW tools like Shield Slam, Execute and War Axe (ie. you remove first body of Shredder with Bash and then usually kill off the smaller body with War Axe).
Looks like I was right about Bash.
Yeah a lot of cards starting to pop up after the initial reviews calling everything 'bad'

Bash on its own doesn't impress me, but because warriors have so much removal now, it is like they can almost afford to play an extremely defensive deck, hence fatigue warrior.
I think it is a merely good, but not great card.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
That's pretty similar to Questing Adventurer. You'd have to be careful designing a card like that.

Too soon lol.
But it looks like he made the right play.
It turned into a race for him (proven by the fact that Fireball was one of the next 3 cards his opponent would draw) and he just got unlucky with the tracking spell.
It wasn't a race though. He would be outside of Fireball + ping every turn due to his hero power, and he had Swipe + FoN to answer drops to the board from JAB. I'm still in disbelief over the decision to yolo like that.
He needed Swipe and FoN for face damage. Using them as removal would have ensured a slow death. His opponent was at 26 health. He needed to be able to dish out as much face damage as possible to win the game.

True true.
According to trump he had a 95% chance of winning and that play made it 80%, still good, but obviously not as good.
