Is sylvannas really that good? Just seems so easy to silence or play around, idk. Only leggys I have are crafted boom and pulled ysera and malygos.

Honestly I'm leaning towards getting antonidas with my dust, since he would flip Mage from boring to making a casino build I'd find very fun. Do any decks run maly archmage and ysera lol or any combination of two of those (with thaus obviously)? I don't own all the cards anyway so almost any high tier deck I'd have to make replacements. I have enough to make archmage worth it tho

Yeah Sylvanas alone won't boost a lackluster control deck from garbage to good. She's good in certain midrange lists but e.g. for Druid and slower Paladin you stillneed a bunch of epics and/or Boom and Tirion.
For the moment you'd really get the most out of Antonidas as long as you don't mind being locked into Mage and budget decks for a bit longer. Massively improves Tempo and Midrange and gets you closer to Feeze Mage I guess.

EDIT: He just got another $600 donation. I don't understand, people can go on holiday with that kind of money...

For some people it's what they spend on breakfast on their holiday. I mean, amhai has donated tens of thousands of dollars. Reckfuls vid is pretty good:

So much aggro decided to try out priest for a bit.

Boom easy wins as after I fend off the initial rush it's game over for them.

What would it be more fun/doable in ladder Echomage or Malymage?

I'm running a spell-heavy effigy-mage that runs Maly, Archmage and Emperor (plus Rhonin).

This is modified from Kibler's Effigy mage deck, I decided to take out healbots and spellslingers for more spells.The key to the deck is ensure that you don't keep one of your low drops on the board if you have your secrets out (maybe except for flamewaker with duplicate up) so that you can get value from the secrets.

Having a bunch of low cost spells isn't really that bad when you consider the amount of synergy in the deck. Arcane Blast becomes a 4 damage spell with drakes (12 with maly), a cheap activator for flamewakers, or simply a card that nets you a fireball with archmage. Its also great against most early game drops.

Often times I'll be spending turns clearing the opponent's early game while setting up duplicate/effigy for my 5+ drops. Emperor with both effigy + duplicate up is game winning since the opponent is far less likely to have removal for the subsequent emperors. Against the more aggressive decks, doing the same thing with Belchers will prove to be pretty effective. A single Arcane Explosion works as the token killer, or a consecrate with drakes. Emperor after getting arcane missiles from Rhonin into 24 hits of arcane missiles with Malygos, Emperor into Archmage with a bunch of 0-2 mana spells generating 3++ fireballs, etc. Plenty of shenanigans to be had with the deck.

Can't say if its better than the typical tempo mage, but it gets some really crazy moments sometimes. I guess its kinda of accurate to call this a hybrid control-combo deck?

Is the patch live on European yet?

 

[CoolOff]

Fatigue Warrior is so goddamn ResidentSleeper. I just ran into one running Deathlords to thin out my deck even more, that was new to me.

Justicar just makes it so insane when it goes to fatigue.

 

[caesar]

Wtf Reckful gets Iron Juggernaut from Esportal, plays on turn 3, gets the Druid down to 10 health who has like 13 cards in his deck and he draws the mine. casinostone EleGiggle

 

[Tacitus_]

No. They generally patch during maintenance, so it will be live when servers come up tomorrow morning.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

This current warrior armor fatigue bullshit is a plague. I'm not even sure what to do about it. He taunts up, armors up, controls the board with clears and just f'ing waits around for you to die to attrition (through minor chipping away at your health) or fatigue. I hate it.

The one time I bounced Iron Juggernaut four times I was able to chain two Mines together. It was beautiful.

I am fine with fatigue decks, but I would not mind them cutting the justicar bonus to 3 armor instead of 4. So tired of getting the warrior down to 1-2 hp, but can't finish them off so their armor spirals out of control.

 

[TimeEffect]

Man. I just recently spent my dust to make the Patron Warrior deck lol.

I ran into 2 of them yesterday while I was playing Control Warrior. They just have too much single target removal for Control Warrior to actually keep anything on board and Alex basically doesn't do anything to them since they have 1,000 armor. Games took forever and I lost both times. I kind of want to try it out, but I think I'd have to craft a Gorehowl.

After playing since launch, finally reached the mountaintop. Never succumbed to Patron to get it either

One of my prouder accomplishments in life

'Succumbed', you mean you won 500 games of wallet warrior? DansGame

I would still be 250 off my golden if it wasn't for patron lol

My game just patched up, RIP patron.

that soul, fits perfectly with the flavor text. Bravo to Ben Genius Brodius.

Good job man. I think it's the best Golden Portrait, but I am more proud of my Gold Shaman.

Also, Warsong COmmander nerf is live boys.

Ah so it's not actually for Adventures?

Mechazod was a quest enemy in Borean Tundra (Northerend) I believe. The "Curse of Flesh" is a curse by the Old Gods to give titanic creations like the stone dwarves and mehca gnomes flesh. Dunno how Lorewalker Cho fits in though

Edit: Kind of looks like XT-002's legs from Ulduar behind the gnome

 

[Pooya]

Ah so it's not actually for Adventures?

there is a bg art for it too now, yeah it's next brawl. I'm not sure how they can make coop here with same board. Probably heroes flip like Jaraxxus every turn...

 

[Haly]

This adventure will probably buff all the other classes' mechs.

Oh who am I kidding, Mage Mech will be king again with new bullshit cards like Snowchugger and that 5/4 guy.

RIP in pepperoni.

 

[Kornflayx]

Patch is out and I already ran into two Charge Warriors at rank 12

 

[Ladekabel]

Patron out of the game and I'm on alosing streak against aggro decks with my priest. And I've not encountered a non aggro deck in the last 5 games.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Well now that the patch is out, I wonder if it's opening the door for the biggest aggro meta we've ever seen.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Well now that the patch is out, I wonder if it's opening the door for the biggest aggro meta we've ever seen.

So bring out the anti-aggro tools. Because I am pretty sure people will use hunter to counter secret paladin, leaving your zombie chows and healbots in a pretty powerful position.

 

[markofhavoc]

Awww yes, I can play on the computer again!

 

[Dreavus]

RIP in pepperoni.

I know we've been over this but they played it so fucking safe with this card. At least make it +2 attack or something so people can get some use out of it.

 

[Pooya]

More on coop boss. Not posting if you want to see it fresh tomorrow.

so that's how it works. should be fun.

 

[Vanillalite]

Wish Twilight Guardian was a regular card. 400 for it being an epic is ugh, but I need for Dragon priest. :/

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Shit co-op brawl, palidan + shaman, murloc knight+Siltfin Spiritwalker, it was all planned for this moment clearly.

 

[sibarraz]

tg is an amazing epic card, he basically enabled dragon priest since is a very powerful turn 4 drop

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I guess people are experimenting again because I just saw the dumbest mech shaman deck... it had healing wave. He tried to go face...

 

[inky]

Ugh, co op... you saying I need to interact with other people?

 

[toddhunter]

Ugh, co op... you saying I need to interact with other people?

At least you know there is a 99% chance the other person is running the same strong deck as everybody else who did a google search for the tavern brawl.

So should be able to rely on them.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Had a warrior rage quit on me after I loatheb'd after getting patient assassin off shredder. I mean, the horror of a 2 drop trading for a 3 drop must be mind blowing to some. The real kicker was that I dropped shredder and cold blood and dropped him to 13 on turn 6, I doubt he saw that coming either. Had my shredder gotten me a 2/3 or 3/2 I would have gone face and hit him down to 10, so the shredder roll wasn't even a big deal tbh.

edit:
Wow, people are not respecting rogue board any longer. Double cold blood is going to change that perspective.

 

[Owzers]

epic! yes!

Bestial Wrath.

I'm in the group that gets one legendary every two months if i'm lucky.

Its a numbers game, just keep rolling the dice and you'll average out... eventually.

RIP Patron make way for the new GOD

SECRET PALADIN

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

New rogue list. Only card I am thinking of cutting so far is black knight. I am still thinking about what I'll replace him with. A charge minion would be nice I think.

New card idea: Rogueish Challenger, 6 mana, play one of each minion on the board. 6/6 ofc.

 

[Dahbomb]

Went from Rank 11 to Rank 5 today and faced all but 1 control deck (it was a Dragon Mage that got worked).

Basically it's just Druids (aggro/combo), Tempo Mage, Hunters, some Zoolock and Secret Paladins online. Full on aggro/tempo.
