Well, I did have to face a turn 3 Sylvanas, heh. Wasn't the best play against my board with a 3/5 minion. Just played a Sen'jin and killed her the next turn.

12 brawls, 8 patron players, 3 zoos and a random paladin.
Not the best brawl, bring an ooze.

Jheeeez tried to jump back in after not playing since naxx and good god I'm getting my ass beat by all kinds of whacked out legendarys.
Literally won like 5/20 games and only beat the brawl cos the dude quit.
God only knows what to do with my decks and dust.
Seems I was playing rogue alot with paladin behind. Wondering what to do outside of losing endlessly haha

Still can't believe some argued that interaction was working as intended.
Cause blizzard said it was

I think Ben Brode also said they were interested in fixing Brann + Kodo as well?
Somehow our fault we believed the lead game designer. Next time I'll forgo his expertise on matters.
I fully expect them to flip-flop on several of the yogg-saron interactions over the next few months as well. Yes spell damage, no spell damage, yes overload, no overload, etc etc.
I think them deleting the tweet that said no overload from yogg like an hour after they posted it already says as much.
Neat, hafu/ben brode interview, ben brode sorta implies that remaining unrevealed class cards may be really good for arena. Hope he's not just blowing smoke.

Hey I just watched that. Funny. Yeah here it is for anyone that wanted to see it.

He claims that the mage card is not so bad when we see other class cards. I'll believe it when I see it, because if not then I'm starting #priestlivesmatter.
Most of the cards in the final dump are vanilla minions like the 5 mana 5/6 in TGT. That's because those cards aren't exciting enough to reveal by themselves. These cards tend to be good for Arena but not Constructed.
That and super controversial cards like Mysterious Challenger.
Hide controversial cards away, people won't figure it out until it's too late. Mwhahaha.

What's the difference between this deck and any other control deck? The goal is to keep the board clear, slowly rattle/steal enemy minions, all while keeping out of lethal range. There are several decks and classes that handle this with aplomb. See druid and mage.

Man, if the best cards are behind us, this is a really depressing set.
I think that a "fatigue" playstyle really is the worst thing in a game. It's the most unenjoyable way to play the game. Mill works differently since you can actively try to sabotage that plan.

Hoping we get another blog post today like we have been the past several Thursdays. Perhaps nerfs?! (A guy can dream)
Did anybody get an update for a new patch? New Mage hero Khadgar?
Yeah, I'm updating now on my iPhone. Looks like it has gone out on iOS only, so far. Possibly a mistake?

May contain jokes =>
It probably will just be iOS only. This WWF thing is an iOS event.
They still have to add the Khadgar assets to all the other versions of the game. Plus there is the card back and bug fixes as well.

Wow, super glad I don't care about hero portraits or i'd be upset.

I'd love a warrior card that has a battlecry of summoning 2 shieldbearers. Would be really good with bolster.
Tyrande (presumably Priest) and Maiev (presumably Rogue) were in the same Japanese credits section as Liadrin and Khagdar, so presumably they're coming relatively soon.
The worst way to play the game is by emptying your hand every turn, ignoring the board and just dragging cards to face. You might as well be playing solitaire.
Second worse way is freeze mage. Another style that ignores board state and tries to win without interacting with your opponents minions.
Any type of game where what your opponent does doesn't matter to your game plan is dumb. What's fun when you don't have to think about your turns at all?
I like control warrior vs other control decks (except Priest, lol) because you have to maximize every resource. Unlike aggro decks, you can't just draw your whole deck as fast as possible because you can't win the long game.
I am going to very sad when Justicar rotates.

least favorite clas to play against is warlock.
also what is the priest decks that play nothing and take a lot of face damage

Milling to fatigue is by far the worst way. The fact your opponent does not fight you, he fights a game mechanic is dumb. I've been a huge proponent that fatigue should not go up unless it's your turn. If someone wants to mill my cards, go for it, but as a player I should at least have a chance to win a match with the 10 cards in hands rather than sitting there on my opponents turn, watching him not even go for face but keep dropping coldlight oracles.
Its a tactic that doesn't even work consistently and need player that know what they doing, let them had their moment.. watching deck like Mill Druid win against Jaraxxus is thing of beauty.
Sounds pretty good overall, talk is indeed cheap so let's see if they deliver with the final dump. They should really look into that idea of tweaking card rarity beyond gems as soon as possible. I'd rather not see tavern brawl-style temporary gimmicks in arena though.
