And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Way overdue, loved that card

Latest iteration of my theoretical rogue deck
I'm also still probably going to try coldblood, southsea deckhand, faceless shenanigans.
Maybe shadowcaster on defender of argus is one of the better cards to copy that might consistently land.

He does seem underrated considering people are calling him trash tier but I'm not sure if I'd put up with that 5% of the time you get cursed blade and it costs you the game. Definitely not as good as boom bots because your hero takes the damage. I assume you get a 2-3 dmg weapon a good amount of the time which could be bad if the meta slows down and you don't want to be hitting big dmg big health minions for 2-3. I'd say it's definitely playable if there's a decent amount of zoo decks.

I'm giving the Warrior legendary too hard of a time, I just really dislike every card that says "random" as all I see is "will fuck you over at the worst possible time" but in this case it's really hard to get a weapon that actually has a negative impact on your game.
Even cursed blade isn't too bad if your opponent either can't or can't afford to go face(might even win you games if they're dumb enough).

Ugh, I could have sworn I added si7 agent in. Emperor is possible but I'm usually turned off by the fact that even if you have a large hand in rogue, theres a good chance you're not hitting enough good cards to reduce. Still might be worth giving another shot though.

What are the chances of Cursed Blade, though?
BGH is still in every control deck I see. Blizzard fails at balance again.
In standard:
Horrible - Cursed Blade
Bad - Light’s Justice, Perdition’s Blade, Argent Lance
Good - Fiery War Axe, Eaglehorn Bow, Sword of Justice (Would actually buff Malkorock immediately), Stormforged Axe, Poisoned Blade, Charged Hammer, King’s Defender, Tentacles for Arms, Rallying Blade
Very Good - Truesilver Champion, Assassin’s Blade, Hammer of Twilight, Arcanite Reaper
Insane - Gladiator’s Longbow, Doomhammer, Gorehowl
That's 1, 3, 9, 4, 3 in each category, respectively. And as potentially game losing as Cursed Blade is, I think Gladiator's Longbow, Doomhammer, and Gorehowl are potentially just as game-winning.
1 out of 21 or about 4.7%
If your playing a hyper aggressive aggro deck then you dont even mind getting a cursed blade.
If you are playing a hyper aggressive aggro deck and you got to turn 7 and aren't dead or nearly dead then something has gone horribly wrong for the aggro player or you likely put yourself in a position for it to cost you the game (a doomhammer/rockbiter does 20 damage to your face!)

I think the problem with malkorok in control decks is that hitting a minion without killing them is very bad. Because next turn they are going to hit you again. Then you're probably taking 10 damage from a single minion. The RNG with weapon is probably acceptable when your goal is to hit their face though. On average malkorok is really good in that situation I think.
On turn 7 you do.
Who says you won't? People usually kill something with Fire Elemental.
Paladin is a good Legendary for Control games. Its a super heal bot, with a good body and persistent effect.
I think the Warrior one is good. I think a Warrior rather have a random weapon then 2 boombots. And a 6/5 body is better then a 7/7 when BGH is still in the (At 5 mana though)
If he was discover I'd think he'd actually earn his status but as he is now he is understat'd RNG minion that will just make you wonder why you didn't replace him with a far superior Gorehowl.
You could literally delete him from the game and I'd promise you less than 1% of the player base would care. Arguably the worst card in the set.
Why not both?
That is true of course. 7 is a high cost for aggro

I kinda disagree with that last point, 5 health is way worse than 7. It's worse in every single way except against BGH(which is going to see less play anyway).
I am wondering if BGH will really see less play. I am actually leaning towards it still being as present as it always was, it just won't be as big of a swing since you can't also drop a 7 drop on turn 10 at the same time.
With how many big creatures came out, he'll definitely see some play.
BGH is still perfectly viable and will absolutely see play but expect one of him tops in decks now. It does give way to a reason to run buff cards again too outside of priest.
Charged Hammer is very questionable, depending on the match up losing your hero power can be game losing actually.
The ones in the good category are not really good at turn 7 and after, 2 attack weapons don't kill anything. They are not really good outcomes for your 7 drop and you're likely to get those most of the time.
6/5 body dies to a lot of 5 and 4 drops easily.
The card could be good in the tempo warrior people started playing recently. (even that has Varian which ruins this). It's not really good, control warrior will never play this card for sure.
Oh hey, saw this on reddit be helpful
https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/4gi4ob/a_spreadsheet_for_keeping_track_of/
Also in one of the comments they mentioned the innkeeper it's a program for windows that jeeps track of your collection, you might want to look into that too

Got bored day or two ago, so decided to update gutshot's Google Doc/Spreadsheet to have Old Gods stuff, and some changes too. Like the nerf changes to mana costs, and those Murk-Eye etc. reward cards, also changed the adventures to have their own tabs for each. Makes it easier to do version to track golden cards in the future.
But that sadly means that on most cases you have to re-add the cards as you can't just copy paste the old fields.

Hmmm.
Not true. if you're playing against a Mage and get Cursed Blade, suddenly that double fireball is doing 24 damage to your face instead of 12.
Thanks for that.
Charge Hammer lost me the game once as a Priest. Blingtron gave me CH which ruined my hero power.
F- Charge Hammer.

It's really not that comparable. To begin with fire elemental is 6 mana and shaman runs a lot more board presence to make that 3 damage work against larger targets.

This was fun.
Turn 1: Coin into Whirling Zap-o-matic
His turn 2: Armor
Turn 2: Double Rockbiters, 18 to face
He immediately conceded. I'm gonna miss that little robot.

If it's a matchup where losing your hero power is game losing then you probably don't even need to use the weapon if you get it. Swapping 4 armor for 2 attack is about the same against an aggressive deck.
What's your gameplan with that, honestly? It's so clunky.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
OK this has been echoed already but to chime in.
Damn Blizzard cheaped out on the new board. It's like the design team made half the board then went on eternal lunch never to finish the other half.

You'll have to buy the rest of it, yeah, but Blizz said you would be able to
You can buy the expansion if you got the arachnid wing, otherwise you can only craft the naxx cards through dust
About as clunky as battle rage and there is enough cards in the new set enable cloning your cards. Not to mention it works on your secret MVP, armorsmith. I am just saying it is underrated.

Alright so
I need some advice if possible
A few months back I decided to make a Dragon Priest, but I forgot I didn't have BRM.
So I came up with this:
I have approx 1800 dust right now, and I was wondering what I might want to put into this. Deathwing, Dragonlord seems nice, but seems a little slow, especially as I don't have a lot of healing. Advice plz
