Anyone played any Renolock lately? I've been messing around with a list, though it's hard to know what cards to put in with the nerfing of molten giant and so many cards leaving standard. Been playing around some with Cho'gall but for the most part I've been playing him as a War golem more than anything. Also threw in a Spreading Madness but it seems really terrible. I once used it to ping off a minion and while it managed to do so, the remaining 8 hits decided that my face was the place, dropping me to two life. Thankfully my opponent didn't have lethal so I could Jaraxxus next turn but still what an AWFUL card. I don't have Leeroy so I can't run combo so I run Rafaam as a finisher and he seems to perform really great. BGH seems to have utterly disappeared from the meta so more often than not I have a target for the lantern.
Good.LMAO he wasing every turn
Also Mulch re-introduced into the meta.
I am vindicated yet again!
ZealousD what's the ruling on the blasts if someone ends up being true later on? I was put on blast for Mulch (I believe) but nowadays a lot of Druids are using it post BGH nerf.
Renolock sucks. Deck is some weird Frankenstein of non sense these days. Even Doomsayers and Twisting Nethers can't save it from being rushed the hell down.
Spreading Madness sucks and Chogall is underwhelming.
My bad then xD
Anyway, I just went over the VOD for the twitch chat experience. Link for anyone interested: https://www.twitch.tv/nl_kripp/v/64423001?t=04h24m45s
"I've got the stream in my sights"I beat Kripp! Score at the time was 2-1
It's still a 6 mana creature as long as Eternal Sentinel or Lava Shock don't get played. Any hard removal like Hex, Polymorph, or SWis fine.
No. It comes down on turn 3-4 and every Shaman indeed plays Sentinels and maybe shocks too. Most of the classes do not have hard counters and some don't even have soft counters. A polymorph actually leaves you behind in value if shaman has sentinels/shocks.
SW
and hex are the best counters for the card, but we are still often speaking of 1-mana advantage for the counter play. The card is borked.
Nah, in tempo situations mulch is great. It's very rare to get blown out by the value that it gives to your opponent.

My last couple Arena runs have featured complete noobs between 0 and 2 wins. I haven't run into this many noobs since at least the early days of GvG. Reminds me of what Arena used to feel like, no soul crushing 12 win capable decks at 0-0 and losers bracket being mostly a breeze until like 6 wins.
Post not complete without story sir
Those cards fill important roles for particular decks and that alone makes them good. It would be like calling Darkbomb bad because it's a worse Frostbolt but in fact it's an essential tool for Warlocks that now they are missing a lot.
And I would argue that Cult Apothecary is still very good in Freeze Mage. It's very easy to get good heals with that card in that deck.
In the case of Mulch, that's a very important tempo tool for Druids that they have lacked all this time. There was never a reason to run Mulch before Combo Druid because they only cared about 3 things: face damage, card draw and cheat ramp cards.
Edit: I would phrase again by saying that "good" in this case means playable in competitive deck not "good" in the sense all these other "pro" sites have where they list any card that isn't godlike as unplayable. Like this site that said Councilman is poor.
It's not exactly a great removal for 3 mana, they still get the deathrattles etc and a card, it's not clean. Whenever I use it I don't feel that great. It's like worse than every class removal around its mana cost others have, for both value and tempo, but for druid you just have to play it, you don't have anything else.
I get that they have to be played now, but that you don't feel great for running them if that makes any sense.

No real story, just facing people who drafted Eye For An Eye (the classic noob trap), Tournament Attendee, Murloc Tinyfin, Target Dummy, all of the taunts, going face always, the usual signs of someone new to the game. Back in the day this was somewhat a common occurence for 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 0-1, 0-2, etc. I thought the draft sites eliminated this, but I guess OG/Standard brought true newbies back to the game.
smh with some of rating, pros can ead
Had a spectate quest and the pack was full of pirates.

Why do people hate Massan so much? As someone who doesnt follow twitch and only watch the streamers game son youtube I dont really get all the hate?
He doesnt seem any more annoying then Trump or Amaz?

I'm joining the darkside guys with meta shaman, tempo mage is just too frustrating to play atm.
Shaman is just too strong, for every one of their cards I have to spend two just to get rid of. I'm fucking sick of totemic tuskarr summoning a totem golem, I'm fucking sick of flamewreathed faceless. I'm fucking sick of Doomhammer, I'm fucking sick of rockbiter. Thing from below is fucking bullshit.
This whole game is fucking bullshit.

Someone explain to me how is it fair that a class has a fucking 3 drop that can summon a 3/2 and a possible 3/4 and a fucking 7/7 for a 4 drop.
Shit is clown shoes.

I like when I get rushed the fuck down by a 1 drop that spirals out of control, into a 3/4, into a flametongue, into a 7/7...barely recover and then find out I'm not even fighting the aggro deck.
They got paladin'd.
Just use the efficient AoE all balanced card games have to combat zoo strategies... oh wait.
I laughed and then I cried.

Some quests are worth 50/60/100 gold so you can try your luck rerolling the quest to maybe get a bigger reward, 40 gold quests are definitely most common though.
