Only teacher and Fandral that will be good pull from Barnes in token druid

I would more think of it as Yogg, Cenerious, and Mire Keeper are the only required minions in that deck that might miss compared to the Teacher and Fandral minions that are basically the primary win condition of that deck. All other minions that might be a Barnes miss are optional, and you can fit some additional stuff that aren't Barnes misses like Moroes, Emperor, or Ragnaros.

 

[Yaboosh]

Facing lots of token druids today and boy are they tough. I'd like to make one but it's a bit out of my price range at the moment.

Bolster Warrior (Midrange variant) is pretty decently strong to bring to a tournament format.

Everyone is going to be bringing Dragon/Tempo Warrior, Zoolock, Aggro Shaman and Token Druid.

Bolster Warrior does well against Zoolock and Aggro Shaman. Does ok against the aggressive Warrior decks too because the taunts block chargers and weapons though Defend the King is far less good.

I don't know how the match up is against Token Druid (I don't imagine it being that bad to be honest, Bolster + Defend the King is hard for Druids to deal with and the big taunts are hard for Druids to remove anyway) but you can ban that out if you wish.

You lose to control decks though. Cthun Warrior, Renolocks, Nzoth Paladins etc. Probably one of the worst decks against control simply because you don't put up enough early game pressure on those decks and by the time you start presenting threats they out value you and clear your stuff easily. But again... this meta is good to Bolster Warrior.

I am not sure what a refined list would look like though. I kinda like one King's Defender in there. Sparring Partners are hilariously bad cards, occasionally I have gotten utility out of them but I feel there are probably better 2 drops to run, maybe Armorsmiths if you are going the full anti aggro route. Senjin also feels weak in it as the 4 slot, I feel like I would rather have Evil Heckler for the offensive taunt. Of course I got Tauren Warriors in there but you need an extra 4 drop in there. Experimented with the new Annoyotrons and Sunwalkers, the Annoyotrons have been alright. Bog Creepers do work generally. I finish it off with Rag and Varian, Varian being exceptional because you are likely to set up a huge taunt wall. I don't have Soggoth but I would imagine that it might make the cut.

I am also starting to think a copy of Brawl would not be bad in this deck despite it being a heavy minion oriented deck. Decent combo with Defend the King because it increases your chances of clearing all of your opponent's minions.


There is also the other Bolster variant which is far slower and control oriented that also incorporates armor gain. That might even be better anti aggro.

Edit: Saw an older Bolster list with Dread Corsairs. That might be interesting but that card has always been sketchy for me.

Ethereal Summoner RNGs a Moroes. -_-

 

[Yaboosh]

What are the critical expensive cards in a token Druid? Can you get away with just a fandral and no onyxia or denarius?

At least one of Onyxia or Cenarius, Some list replace those expensive card with Wisp of old gods

 

[ZeroX03]

Opponent's first turn: Innervate, Innervate, Astral Communion
Opponent's second turn: Nefarian
Opponent's third turn: Bane of Doom, summons Doomguard

Who the fuck plays this in ranked
And then insane luck on top

[ViviOggi]

Reinstalled to give the adventure a shot, played my old Druid draft to 9-3 and saw a grand total of two non-Mages over the course of those 12 games. Uninstalled again, I don't need this shit in my life no more.

I would have conceded after the Nefarian personally.

 

[Pooya]

I'm thinking maybe patron warrior is secretly good in this meta. like nothing really counters dragon warrior, it can beat just about anything with a decent curve except maybe patron and you should do well against just about everything in meta except c'thun warrior. I'm going to try, since I have Magni now too I have some motivation to play warrior.

 

[ZeroX03]

I would have conceded after the Nefarian personally.

I had some taunts and a generally good hand, but I'd sort of given up already.

 

[jgminto]

My first 12 win run with Shaman. Frostwolf Warlord, Kvaldir Raider, Silver Hand Knight, Nerubian Prophet, Bog Creeper and Captured Jormungar below the fold. I actually got the insane Nerubian into Master of Evolution combo on Turn 4 twice.

new conspiracy https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthston...ssionblizzard_may_reset_daily_quest_pool_for/

as foretold by the Blizzard guy in that interview, it seems 60g quests are rip already lol. good thing I'm set.

 

[Slashlen]

It's consistent with what I've run into this week, only 40g except for Tavern Brawl which I got outside of the brawl's availability.

yeah, this seems to be true

what scumbags

removing the higher gold quests, even though they're more difficult, just as a new piece of purchasable content releases

 

[fertygo]

Eh, I'd say they just do it in one swoop because new patch is coming anyway

 

[Portugeezer]

So having played with Cloaked Huntress, it has potential but I'm not sold on it, for Yogg and Load it thins out my deck for Kings Elekk to hit high cost minions like Yogg or Emperor, and there isn't good card draw for Hunter in general to combo secrets. Firebats aggro experiment seemed good but I don't play aggro.

Maybe other cards need to come (Cat Trick much better than Bear Trap when opponent doesn't hit face...)

 

[Yaboosh]

Doesn't make sense to create a new quest and then remove it a few weeks later. It's probably a bug.

 

[Htown]

Sure it does. Use the friend quest and the new hero to get people to pull their friends into the game for a few weeks, then once they're in move the goalposts so the new people are more likely to spend real money instead of gold.

 

[inky]

Funny bug to have when an adventure is out.

Have to say it was driving me nuts to see only 40g Priest quests.

 

[Asbel]

Zoo had three cards left. Had double Overwhelming and Soulfire for lethal.
Pirate had two cards left. Had double Heroic on Arcanite for lethal.
Shaman had three cards left. Had double Rockbiter on Doomhammer for lethal.

Fuck me. Guess it's not so rare and I should plan for it.

 

[Yaboosh]

Lol.

Note to Druid players out there. Don't play onyxia against a patron warrior when he has a frothing on board. Bad things will happen to you.

I had Gromm plus whirlwind for the sweet 27 dmg.

 

[bjaelke]

Ivory Knight has given me triple 1 mana spells back to back. Good spells but I could have used the heal as well.

 

[Mr Cola]

Been using firelands portal as a bit of a fun addition and its surprisingly been rather incredible, 5 mana seems a really good spot for solid sticky minions and 5 damage is usually a really good number. No idea if it will be competitive but it seems just a really solid dependable card.

 

[fertygo]

Why you not ban Rogue if bring Control shaman to tourney smh

 

[Trigger_happy]

I had 17 hp and my opponent had 4 hp with 1 card left in the deck, disgusting.

 

[clav]

Oh look. Yogg wins games in pro tourneys.

[poppedcollar69]

god damn all these brawl decks fuckin suck, and then the warlock one is just a murderous beast

 

[Ladekabel]

I quite like Priest of the Feast. Good body and has a effect that works in non-C'Thun decks. Not sold on Arcane Anomaly. Only works wonders if you're going second and have Power Word: Shield in your hand.

Thanks.

 

[Tacitus_]

Went 5-1 to complete my "Everyone Get In Here" quest. Last game got kinda close after priest double deathed my double giant turn, but he still lost. Priest doing priest things :lol

 

[thepotatoman]

I ran into an Arcane Anomaly in a secret heavy Bubble Palidan deck that was really good.

Doesn't seem to work in the types of deck Priest currently runs though.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

So week 2...

barnes + swashburglar + onyx bishop + arcane golem + (maybe moat lurker, maybe silvermoon portal)

week 3...

curator + purify + babbling book + nightbane templar

week 4...

medivh's valet + spirit claws + netherspite historian + book wyrm + violet illusionist + medivh + prince malch + ethereal peddler

These are the cards I want to use, not that they are necessarily good or bad.

 

[Dahbomb]

Everyone banning out Warrior at this tournament lol.

 

[Levi]

My first time going against Discardlock... it did not go well.

Playing Doomguard, summoning a 3/3 and doing 4 damage to a random target: pretty fucking good for 5 mana.

In happier times, I had enough burn to kill his C'thun, but I pointed it all at his face. I was fairly sure he would figure out which Hunter secret I had up after I made that play, but he didn't hesitate with the attack, and killed himself. I mean, why would I ignore that play unless I had misdirection or freezing up?

Here's another fun turn: after one Emperor tick I was able to go from zero board to this monstrosity. This was an easy win. (The Azure Drake was from Portal)

10 wins 2 losses with Arcane Anomaly / Firelands Portal Tempo Mage so far today.

Today I learned that there is a cam-girl/porn actress whose gimmick is that she streams Hearthstone on Twitch but strips and masturbates on streams, and there is a video of her "accidentally" forgetting to turn off her stream before masturbating.

The porn/tcg market is largely untapped


edit:

Yogg just decided another game. But the guy who lost was running zoo and doomhammer shaman, so fuck him

You'd think somebody would've figured how to fix a man a screw.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

These players from europe summer are fucking up so badly because of the rope. This guy just missed a god turn that would have won him the game completely if he played potw. And then the next guy doesn't even maximize the fuck up and doesn't swipe (but somehow top decks azure drake to enable swipe the next turn).

What happened to pro level players who make almost no mistakes?

 

[clav]

Prelims.

Plus nerves.

Another reddit conspiracy theory in flames:

That being said, my two f2p accounts are cry since I've only gotten 40g quests for a week.

 

[Mr Cola]

Watching Lifecoach mirror secret decks is just he worst most anti spectator friendly way to view Hearthstone, good lord its two hunters not attacking each other for 7 turns but taking an incredibly long time considering the implications of who hits first. Its tactical, strategic, but boring as all hell to see.

 

[Xanathus]

wouldt she just get banned from twitch?

She doesn't actually do her camgirl stuff on Twitch though apparently she DOES have a Twitch account. She does it on camsites but pretends as if she's on Twitch e.g. she actually plays Hearthstone (at rank 25) and has the Twitch overlay stuff.

I reached a point where if I want to win, I had to use decks that are not fun to use for me, and if I want to have fun, I have to use decks that are not good if you want to win
