Playing Tavern Brawl, Paladin vs. Priest. He Mind Controls my happy Rag, I play a second one, buff it with Defender of Argus to remove his Rag, turn ends and Rag self-heals.
Combo is always going to serve as a damper on cheap Rogue cards.

I think shadowstrike is uncontested the best rogue spell they've gotten since sword oil. I wouldn't mind more spells with combo text though. Eviscerate remains very strong due to how it scales mid game and late game, particularly with spell power which cheap spells are easy to combo with.
Speaking of how forgotten Combo feels as a mechanic. I got a quest for Enrage minions the other day and did a quick search.
There are REALLY not many Enrage minions! Bloodhoof Brave is probably the best one that isn't Legendary (Grom) and it's a warrior class card. The 6 others are neutrals and 1 is from GvG as a warrior class card (Warbot). Except for 3, all these cards are from the base set and only Warriors have Enrage cards as class cards.
I guess they decided that the mechanic doesn't work most of the time? But it could be a cool way to get warriors to use all their Ping mechanics pro-actively instead of reactively. As buffs, instead of more removal. But it just seems like there are a ton of "forgotten" mechanics in Hearthstone. I imagine some are intentionally forgotten to prevent OPness, but I can't figure out why they wouldn't make more of some of them. I guess this is back to the old talk about how amazing Discover is and how more things should have that keyword.

It's okay. I think I've cooled off on the game quite a bit. I don't think its better than HS and a lot of decks I faced off against even at the beginning of ranked were really heavy cost decks, many aggressive face decks as well. It doesn't help that deck sizes are larger while the health pool is smaller. I would have liked to see a larger health pool with the larger deck size.

I need to go back in time and slap the shit out of myself for picking handsomeguy.
yes, probably because ladder is more dependent on draws than skill since karazhan

I started stalling around rank 7 with maly druid, the meta was pretty varied so wasn't sure what to tech for. Got a play 50 shaman cards quest, built a cookie cutter midrange deck and didn't lose a single game til rank 5.

I'm not a fan of it copying Hearthstone's draw system.
It's nigh identical to Hearthstone, so at least you will find it familiar.
In news that will shock everyone, the Only Overloads deck is not nearly as good as the Only Battlecries deck.
I mean more that they're going to be concerned about printing great cheap Rogue spells and cards that could enable powerful Combo effects.

While I agree that 0 cost effects are extremely powerful (if not broken), Secret hunter is not that bad, but it thrives by forcing the other player to make poor decisions to avoid being punished. Certain decks may be weak to it, but it is easy to beat.
Minions usually die pretty cleanly unless they have disproportionately high health at their mana level, like Bloodhoof Brave. I think that's a lot of why the effect isn't used more. It's hard to consistently get value from it unless you design your minions a specific way.
LOL Asmodai destroy other streamer monitor
Asmo play Malyrogue this other streamer play mid shaman, the mid shaman fill the board and get cleared by Elemental Destruction from huckster, and asmo finish the game with combo after barnes pull malygos, the mid shaman streamer end stream abruptly and turned out his monitor broke after he throwing his mouse

Yeah, I see. They definitely should print more combo cards. Thistle tea could have been a combo card. Like 4 mana, copy 2, combo copy 3 - or something.
wow
And people thought reynad was salty!

Seriously? After the nerf there are so many other OP cards that Yogg isn't even close. It's a gambling card with barely any predictability in how it behaves.
EDIT: Handsome guy fail. I bet on him because he's Korean, I thought they practiced 16 hours a day.

In HS you need to pray to Rnjesus for 16 hours a day.
bbgungun had my friend and I worried (I convinced my buddy to go in on him too). I knew about his past history training players in the background but didnt account for his stage nerves. His nerves caused him to misplay a little but he came through at the end
Hopefully now he'll relax more and put in good work
And yeah lol Yogg still decided some matchups

fuckin' called it, man
Yogg still being dumb shouldn't be surprising. They'd need to change the card completely to change that
Winning the first 3 games of the day in Gwent earns you a pack. That's preferable to getting a "play 10 enrage minion" quest.

Anyone else going to blizzcon? next weekend will be very busy for me
not surprising but rather entertaining. I am blessed with a nice job where we can watch the stream together. Yogg has provided much entertainment around here
It's been nice not having to hussle to unlock random packs in Faeria (since I own the full set). Just stacking my gold for the inevitable expansion

I went BBgungun as well. I was on my run when he lost to that yogg. That aggro deck is such a departure from the way he plays his other decks that I was really worried at first.

Haha, I half picked him because of Canadian pride. But he also does pretty well in tournies.

I am currently playing both a Malygos Rogue and a Miracle Rouge. Bouncing between Rank 10 and 12. Happy with that (and having much fan) rather than working of damn tier lists.
