Why play control when Divine favour is in the meta?

I'm out till MC or favour gets deleted.



34 games in one day? That's yoshi levels of dedication.

Yup just grind that rank 5 with the t1 cancer deck of your choice run and never look back at the utter mess that is constructed

Arena's still good though, just always draft expecting a massive flood of Paladin kids. In fact my average is better in TGT than ever before.

Same here my average went up from 4 wins to 6 wins and im getting to 8+ much more often.

 

[sibarraz]

It looks cool but with so many one offs it seems like it might suffer from consistency issues. I should give it a try though, looks awesome.

I will remove a tinker for another s1/7 agent and maybe a loatheb for a second sludge belcher

 

[Ladekabel]

I'm playing against an Aggro Priest with a Midrange Hunter. What has Hearthstone come to...

 

[_DrMario_]

It's hilarious how scary it feels to be at 20 health in this game. Game is fucked.

 

[Officerrob]

Paladin is trashing everything in this HS Arena event. 6-0 so far today

 

[Pooya]

Xixo played 3 supposedly secret paladin counter decks and lost every game, it was not even close. lol

Challengestone 4: The Grand Battle

Build decks with the following restrictions:
- 3 decks of different classes for conquest format.
- All cards in the decks must be Epic, Legendary, or part of the TGT set.

P2L challengestone, this should be fun.

so I guess we won't be seeing any druids then.


....some sort of quartermaster? with justicar and maybe regent instead of muster? most of the aoe can't be played. it's like, demonwrath, twisting nether, brawl, and minion effects like geddon/dreadscale.

facing a driud?

 

[sibarraz]

Welp, here is my take on the nerubian deck that I posted earlier

I replaced fan of knives and tinker for another s17: agent and dark iron skulker, and also changed a loatheb for another sludge belcher

in rank 10 (now 9) I defeated a face hunter and a tempo.

Against the face hunter is was cool to break his dreams with an antique healboat and 2 sludge belcher

And against the tempo mage, he played a dr boom which died by the combination of dark iron skulker, s17:agent and rng that let my sludge belcher survive to finish the boom

Is a very entertaining deck, I want to use anubarak instead of ysera but I don't had the dust yet to do it

How do you do that?

 

[squidyj]

I think shaman could put in work, they run so many tgt cards anyways.

either way I expect to see a lot of big game hunters.

 

[VoxPop]

Golden Ysera and Golden Gruul in the 2 classic packs I opened today. God is shining down on me today. Found a Golden Malygos earlier this week too. Based RNG.

 

[ViviOggi]

How do you do that?

You value cards that deal with tokens higher than usual, like Arcane Missiles/Explosion and Fan of Knives... Flame Juggler who trades favorably with Minibot half the time, things like that.

 

[irfaanator]

is harrison a good tech choice against paladins?

 

[sibarraz]

is harrison a good tech choice against paladins?

Yes, sometimes true silver makes a good job removing minions from turn 4-6, to the point that sets you back a little, so removing it while putting a minion on board is a big help, plus the card draw

And if not for true silver, you can still save it for usherbringer or in the extreme case for the need of card draw, against light justice or coghammer

 

[Dreavus]

It's hilarious how scary it feels to be at 20 health in this game. Game is fucked.

Yeah. Maybe not 20 but definitely 15 or so; it's as good as being dead against some classes.

Can someone explain me, please, why Piloted placement seems so important for twitch chat?

Shredder can spawn Flametongue Totem or Direwolf Alpha which buffs adjacent minions by 1 atk. Pro players should always place Shredder in the middle of other minions (unless trying to avoid putting a minion to 7 attack and BGH range).

Also, Kripp casting Challengestone right now

it's practically become a meme at this point but the original basis is that you can get dire wolf and flametongue out of shredder.




oh hey, apaladin and warlock, color me shocked

 

[dimb]

is harrison a good tech choice against paladins?

It's honestly not that great against Secret Paladin. They come out too fast for it to really be effective, and the extra cards in your hand can be used against you if Divine Favor comes into play. It's good against Control Paladin though.

Oh that makes sense, for once it wasn't twitch chat Brokeback things

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Don't think Harrison is super great right now after the death of Patron and Rogues being useless. Will tech him out for Kezan or Loatheb in most of the decks I have him in

 

[_DrMario_]

Man Challengestone is so awesome. Actually makes Hearthstone look like a fun game.

 

[manhack]

Agreed Harrison is too slow now. Against most decks you are dead or have lost the game by turn 5.

 

[Officerrob]

Look at all these cards that never see play, pretty cool

 

[Pooya]

Saraad activated 3 times in a turn...
Staying alive with 6 health for 3 turns...
This game actually looks fun! what is this? Hearthstone?!

Maybe they should start banning sets at some point, classic+gvg is too broken now.

 

[_DrMario_]

Ice Rager got rekt hard.

what do you mean i can't play my cards? i paid for these cards. what the fuck blizzard?

 

[Haly]

I guess the only way to make hearthstone fun was to make it so poors can't play.

ESPORTS.

 

[_DrMario_]

Fucking Esports jesus.

 

[CoolOff]

Can Hotform stop 4Heading?

 

[Dahbomb]

Most classes have terrible spells outside of their basic spells. I mean look at this Mage with Frostbolts, Fireballs, Flamestrikes, Polymorphs, Water Elementals etc.


I would've picked Druid, Paladin and Shaman in this format as they got the best TGT cards.

For Druids you can still pick the double Ancients, Force of Nature and Cenarius. From TGT you can pick Darnassus, Druid of Saber, Savage Combatant, Mulch, Living Roots.

For Shaman you can pick Al Akir, Totem Golem, Tuskar Totemic, Elemental Destruction, Ancestral Knowledge, Healing Wave, Doom Hammer, Draenei Totem Carver and Thunderbuff Valiant.

Paladin you have Avenging Wrath, Lay on Hands, Tirion, Murloc Knight, Argent Lance, Enter the Colisseum, Tuskar Totemic, Justicar, Coghammer, Quartermaster, Eadric the Pure, Divine Champion.

 

[CoolOff]

Dog with triple Harrison despite it being "difficult to find weapons".

Gotta counter Gladiator Longbow and Ashbringer.
edit: hey Gorehowl!

 

[Santiako]

Prepare for the Polyboar Echo meta.

 

[Raytow]

Hilarious lethal by Lothar, Dog was ultra salty Elegiggle.

 

[Officerrob]

Dog forgot just how bad King's Defender is

 

[Majine]

Getting redemption triggered on Tirion is literally having the cake and eating it too.

 

[Dahbomb]

Dog forgot just how bad King's Defender is

I mean when you don't have Fiery War Axe it's actually a legitimate option.


LMAO Tiddler put in the Majordormo in his Mage deck.

 

[Xanathus]

Tiddler put in Mysterious Challenger without any secrets in his deck... or is it only Competitive Spirit?

 

[toddhunter]

LMAO Tiddler put in the Majordormo in his Mage deck.

I guess it could work with almost no removal hanging around.... but probably not.

 

[Dahbomb]

I think he put in Mysterious Challenger then realized that he can only put in Competitive Spirit and then forgot to take it out LMAO!

 

[Miletius]

Think I'm gonna give up and just play Paladin to Rank 5. I've tried control priest with 2x deathlords and I still just get wrecked even with 3 board clears (1x Nova, 2x Lightbomb). Can't really find something that consistently wins against Paladin, and I also feel like the deck doesn't really have a closer that it can use to end the game early against tempo decks.

On the plus side, it really kicks other control decks asses.

Edit: The other problem is I get salty when I've manage to hang on for a long time and then can't inevitably answer a later tempo drop.

 

[Dahbomb]

Kolento's reads are fucking ridiculous. Even Kripp is bamboozled.

God damn why the fuck can Living Root hit face when Wrath can't?

 

[Officerrob]

These games have been fun, but holy crap are they one sided

 

[Dahbomb]

Liquid Hearth put up their power rankings post Grim Patron nerf:

The Throne is Empty.

I personally would've put in Secret Paladin as #1 and Druid as #2.

 

[Portugeezer]

Don't know why, but ranks ~13 feel easier than ranks ~18

 

[Officerrob]

I really like Firebat's decks

Gaara is about to get rekt
