it's hard to play a control warrior style of deck w/o those. I'd try and shift it towards the tempo warrior deck

This is why people should use Hearthstone Deck Tracker. No more not knowing what cards you've got left.

well since you can't use it when you play in tournaments it's a handicap for some
Savjs not tourney player tho isn't he
Ah good point, didn't think of that.
I just had someone self immolate in front of me.
Someone was playing a reno jackson rogue deck and for some reason they were running gang up.
At some point during the game they targeted my sylvanas with gang up. On turn 10 they played reno jackson and healed for 0. They realized how dumb that was and conceded.

sylvanas will forever be the best "your opponent will will fuck up trying to deal with this" card.
so many missplays and bad trades....
i can account to this.
midrange hunter is way stronger than people assume.
It can wreck midrange or aggro shaman, if it can hold its own by turn 8-9 when the call of the wilds come in.
the only issue is that its a midrange deck and they have no business in this meta except for specific matchups.
honestly its being carried by infested wolf and call of the wild, which are both pretty good cards.
aggro is always better for climbing and control will beat you.
but again, i'm saying it now
Rexxar will return. The next adventure will bring hunters back to dominance...
call of the wild is imo the best 1 for 1 card in the game, so any slightly OP cards will turn hunter into an unstoppable force.
this makes me happy because i love hunter and its my favorite class. its the first class i reached 500 wins with and i love how its dominant playstyle (smorc smorc eat shit) goes against everything all players advise against and hate.
i wish i was playing during the undertaker hunter days that card pre-nerf seems ridiculous lol.

Over 200 tournament games played. He has been pretty active throughout HS in the tournament scene.
But on another note, while HSDT can't be used in a tournament, people are allowed to use writing tools so there is no difference.
His tournament wins are over $50k but most of that is from 2014
HS players make way more money much more easily being a well-known streamer than wasting time playing tourneys. The only (profitable) reason one should do tourneys is to get recognition and then capitalize on that to be a streamer. Firebat mentioned that Ostkaka wasted his championship by not doing that and instead remained on the down low.

Says a lot about competitive HS that you can "waste" a championship.
You get them the same way you'd get any other unlockable cards, craft them, open them in a pack or play the adventures if they're exclusive to that. Paladin, Hunter and Mage are the classes with secrets btw.
Uh.. isn't that like Random rising star from football league refuse to move to bigger club and accept endorsement
btw Lifecoach vs Ostkaka currently happening
Link?

I need to see more high-level tempo warrior games, any players who have videos like that on Youtube where they explain what they do?
just wanted to say I've enjoyed these posts about streamers and such the last couple pages. I love watching Hearthstone on Twitch.tv, I think Hearthstone is perfect for streaming (besides the fact the actual streamer can be sniped) since you can see the entire board. Granted, you cannot see the opponent's cards though (unless its a tournament)
Still pretty much brand spanking new but winning quite a bit these days using a rogue deck I found online.

So you're out of arena forever then
Shaman arena isn't even that strong honestly, you basically need an insane deck to do really well otherwise it's a subpar class.
None may steal our secrets.

What do you guys think is the arena class ranking now? I'm still picking paladin or mage when offered but don't know outside of that.
Rogue = Mage > Paladin
If you don't play top 3 classes, then yeah, it sucks.
It's also a reason why you should double check if you have any taunts in your deck when drafting. Sometimes, one taunt no matter the stats of the card can be all the difference.
Yeah Shaman still kinda sucks when you don't have any weapons.
Same goes for Hunter + Warrior, which is why I always rank Druid above them. Someone thought that was weird when I said that.
Paladin, too, to a certain extent. You can have a really good Paladin deck or a really shitty one if it doesn't have any Truesilvers, Muster for Battles, Keepers, Shielded Minibots, Cog Hammer, Consecration, or Murloc Knight.
Best golden animation although Warrior's Garrosh is pretty, too.
Rogue > Mage >>> Paladin >>> Warlock > Shaman/Druid >>> 0-3 class
why am i not surprised

Uldaman, aldor, seal of Champions, divine strength, etc. If a Paladin somehow has none of their broken cards then yeah they're in trouble, you're just not gonna see a lot of them.
Only time you'll see that is when you are playing the class.

That was someone here who played against a shaman that played Flamewreathed on turns 4,5 and 6 right? That's my favorite arena story
Turn 4: Flamewreathed
Turn 5 (3 mana): Coin + Flame Wreathed
Turn 6: Flamewreathed?
It doesnt work an other way, unless you far sighted a flamewreathed for turn 5.

just had some of the biggest bullshit arena games of my life, big ol 0 - 3
this priest had a holy champion that was starting to get out of control in part due to an anubisath sentinel. i decide to take drastic measures to kill it, by using a taunt spare part on on of my VERY few 5+ mana minions. i either do loatheb, or a boulderfist. fearing entomb and wanting to save the better statted boulderfist, i taunt up loatheb. priest has a fuckin reckless rocketeer, and then follows it up with a faceless shambler that gets 14/7

Yeah, that was me. And it exactly as Hycran said. Me and a friend that was sitting beside me were like:
The salt is so real
Are you on EU or NA?
I play on both, Levi#1147. Happy to add friends. My NA account has every competitive card on it. My EU account is pretty barebones, as it is 100% F2P, but I have a couple of good decks. A control priest and a control Mage that are decent, and a midrange Warrior that is very competitive:
Mage => Rogue >>> Paladin > Warrior ~ Shaman ~ Warlock > Druid >>> Hunter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Priest
​Hey hearthstone gaf. I started getting back into this game recently. The hype got to me. It mostly had to do with traveling to Korea and seeing all these people playing Hearthstone on the subway. I got so interested in all these new cards that I was seeing, especially that CTHUN legendary - I literally lost my shit and immediately downloaded the game on my iPhone once I got back home.
Last time I played was when the hunter aggro rush deck with Leroy Jenkins and hounds before the nerf. Good times... But now with these adventures that are out and offering exclusive cards, I'm in a tough spot. I don't wanna spend any more money but would like to build a decent deck to hopefully get to legendary! I've ran into a brick wall at rank 10.
I have around 2900 dust to spend on new cards but I wanna optimize what I spend stuff on.
My deck I'm using now is here: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/558106-cthun-mage
My total collection of cards is here: http://www.hearthpwn.com/members/randyor/collection
Any suggestions as to how I can improve this deck? Thanks and cheers.
