Omg the Sylvanas steal into Acolyte for the forced mill!!!

Chakki probably won the game with that play.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I have been playing shaman since the beginning so I can't give it up. Though I usually don't run popular decks. I like it when I win with my own deck and I have yet to see someone complain about cthun shaman.

I do want to play more cthun Druid and craft a N'Zoth deck.

 

[Tacitus_]

I think that Soggoth steal seals it. No TBK or Rend from Monkey either.

 

[squidyj]

God I fucking hate chakki, what a piece of shit.

 

[BigAT]

What time did this match start?

 

[Dahbomb]

God I fucking hate chakki, what a piece of shit.

Did he kill your dog or something?

 

[Tacitus_]

After all the hero power pass

, the late late game was really interesting.

 

[call_kotaku]

I learned what I was doing wrong in control warrior mirrors

the goal of the matchup is to never play any cards

 

[Dahbomb]

And never draw anything.

It really is. Playing cards means you already lost.

It's a game of chicken to see who cracks under pressure first.

Yep. In CW mirror matches a game winning play can be killing a sylvanas to give the other player your acolyte of pain

 

[Tacitus_]

Man those rogue draws are awful. It's like the game is trying to tell him "you lose 3-0"

 

[Dahbomb]

These Miracoli draws LMAO!!

 

[call_kotaku]

chakki so skillful

 

[Ken]

Hide and seek with gadgetzan

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

This game is so sad

 

[call_kotaku]

This panel looks like one of my arena draft mana curves

 

[Dahbomb]

The woes of a Rogue player. When you draw bad you want to delete the deck instantly. Chakki with an impressive 3-0 win with Control Warrior.

 

[coolasj19]

Oh my god. I've been playing Heartstone since before TGT and I don't have any Frothing Berserkers. Shows how much I play Warrior.

If only there were a way to prevent this...

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

If only there were a way to prevent this...

I feel like I should be able to mulligan twice, just in case I drew the most horrible hand possible.

 

[Levi]

31 games to get from rank 16 to rank 15 zero stars, with a brief stop at rank 14 full stars. 17-14.

Oh, I was being sarcastic with Dahbomb because Duelyst doesn't have this problem because of two superior design decisions:
1) Players start at 2 mana, so you rarely get hands with anything to play.
2) You can mulligan 1 card in your hand every turn, so you rarely have a dead hand.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I feel like I should be able to mulligan twice, just in case I drew the most horrible hand possible.

It would be nice if every starting hand guaranteed at least one 1 or 2 mana card.

 

[inky]

I want to revive my Dragon Warrior but it looks like a low curve Tempo variant might be even more effective than a Control variant. That would save me the need to craft some cards at least.

 

[ViviOggi]

Chakki best memer

 

[squidyj]

Did he kill your dog or something?

who beat dog anyways?

 

[Karsticles]

It would be nice if every starting hand guaranteed at least one 1 or 2 mana card.

I think the problem here is that most decks would then only run one optimal 1-drop and one optimal 2-drop to optimize the curve. I have had your same thought, but I think it would be worse for the game. Something like an enhanced curve where at a certain # of 1-drops you are guaranteed one would be better, I think.

 

[Inversive]

yeah i'm done for this season, game is a total mess.

 

[Levi]

Guaranteed early game helps aggro the most, which means aggro would be even MORE prevalent.

 

[FeD.nL]

It has been said before but just more powerful board clears, or at an acceptable cost would go a long way.

Would be fun to see where the meta would be if Shadow Word: Horror would destroy all minions <3 attack.

But overall I think the expansion did a lot of things right.

 

[Tacitus_]

JBilly throwing the Zoo deck away

And he managed to not discard his doomguard with his other doomguard. What a waste.

 

[Karsticles]

Not true.

Aggro is the MOST guaranteed to have early plays because their deck is structured to increase that probability. They gain the least from such a change.

Midrange and Control usually run higher-end cards, so their % chance of a 1-mana draw is less. They gain the most because they can compete. Anyone who has played Priest knows that game where you literally have no cards to play until turn 3, but while I've had bad draws as a Hunter and Shaman, it's rarely without a 2-drop.

 

[Dragner]

That Zoo game throw....FailFish

 

[Karsticles]

I keep playing geniuses that let Mana Tide Totem sit on the screen for 3-4 turns while killing Spirit Wolves with spells.

 

[Levi]

Shaman and zoo have better one and two drops. What early game from control is gonna contest? Doomsayer? Win axe? Everyone would switch to aggro, tempo or midrange.

 

[call_kotaku]

did that dire wolf play put billy on tilt?

 

[Karsticles]

I think the most underrated card of WotOG so far has to be Possessed Villager. We all mocked it as inferior to Warlock's other options, but it's a Zoo staple and does very well.

Northshire Cleric, of course!

Or maybe the Hunter's new craptastic 1-drop?

I actually think Warlock's 1-drops are very fair. 1/3 and a 3/2 that hits your face for 3? I have no problem with that.

The problem 1-drops are Tunnel Trogg and Mana Wyrm, because they are 1/3s that are almost always 3/3s by turn 2, which is a huge tempo spike.

White trash blown the fuck out

Villager wasn't really underrated. It just wasn't exciting. It's a sidegrade to Argent Squire, better with PO but worse with Argus.

 

[Levi]

Coining a three drops that trades evenly with a one drop. Feelsbadman

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I unpacked a golden corrupted Hogger. Is he worth keeping or nah

 

[damisa]

31 games to get from rank 16 to rank 15 zero stars, with a brief stop at rank 14 full stars. 17-14.

So it's not just me. I used to get to around rank 10 easily but I am now struggling to get past 15

 

[Tacitus_]

You can sub him into some decks, but he's not primo material. Not DE-immediately status either.

 

[Levi]

I unpacked a golden corrupted Hogger. Is he worth keeping or nah

I like him. I would keep him.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I also just got a Deathwing Dragonlord and Shifter Zerus...there goes all my luck for this xpac

 

[Karsticles]

Wow. Moved to midrange Shaman and I swept from rank 10 to rank 7 in an hour.

Praise be!

Villager wasn't really underrated. It just wasn't exciting. It's a sidegrade to Argent Squire, better with PO but worse with Argus.

That isn't my recollection.

 

[Apathy]

greedy payton, reno and running so many doubles

 

[Ladekabel]

Unlimited golden 2/2 taunts!

 

[veryslowhand]

villager is better than squire because of the 1/5 that gets buffed
