Hearthstone |OT8| Elise's Extremely Irresponsible Field Trip To Un'Goro

There are too many decks out there with their own game plan for me to avoid a particular deck. I have to stay at 30 health and keep the board clear against half the meta right now or fear getting burst down in 2 turns. Reno mage trying to burst you down with Solia/Antonidas, Reno Lock with combo, Miracle rogue, OTK priest and Maly Druid even popping up today.
I think it is only fair they have to play around me getting a good Yogg or a Maly burst on them.
Im not trying to tell you what to do. I just don't like maly decks. Much rather be playing jade nzoth or just nzoth. Which is what I do. It wins a lot, unless I misplay. Just wish there wasnt so much grinding involved in getting to a place where I can actually learn to play.
the first one
if in doubt, you can tell because the innkeeper or whoever says something about there being room by the hearth when you start the game

Finder's Keeper is bad.

How so in a control deck?
It has synergy with yogg, arcane giants and finding burn spells for malygos.
That said it isn't meant to be a legend viable deck, just a fun way to climb the ladder

Especially in a control deck I'd prefer upfront costs over overload. There's also no overload synergy in the deck barring unlocking them.
Still up for grabs if anyone's interested. I also got a spec quest if anyone would hook me up
Fine by me

Are you asking for a trade for the challenge quest? Or are you just giving it away? If the latter, I will take it.Still up for grabs if anyone's interested. I also got a spec quest if anyone would hook me up
Fine by me
No trade necessary, I get my gold anyway, right? Never had one of these before.
trading is where you both have the quest and rack up 160 for 2 games.

Brutal.
I have such mixed feelings about Jade Druid. It is only about 10-12% of the meta but it absolutely stomps all over slower control decks. This means that at least 1/10 matches with my current deck, control shaman, is an auto loss.
I can see the appeal of the deck too. I spent a good portion of the Mean Streets release week playing the deck. Some people say it is boring, but even though it is easy to pilot there are a lot of decisions. Each turn can go on forever if you draw well. Raven idol also adds some interesting RNG. When it gets a good draw it is extremely powerful and can even beat aggro decks if built right.
Every time I play against it I want to hate it, but I remember how fun it was to play. It will probably never have a chance to dominate the meta since people favor playing faster decks.

I have trouble even beating control decks because they usually have 6-9 HP minions. I usually don't get the right cards to ramp golems or deck cycle fast enough before I get hit with 5+ legendaries.
I don't own Raven Idol or the deer legendary card though.
I don't have that much trouble playing a n'zoth deck.
the deer? aya? fandral?

Malorne?
Fandral, sorry. The deck I'm using is supposed to be complete besides the addition of Fandral and maybe Raven Idol (which is rotating anyway).
I probably need to learn mulligans better, though.

Fendral and Raven Idol add a lot of value, though. I'd estimate you have 10 percentage points lower win rate without them.
EU. Will probably be on tonight for more Resurrect Priest because god damn Dragon Priest is so boring.
RNG belongs in bad decks only (like mine)
Imagine going all in like that and learning that your opponent is a combo druid taht runs naturalize.

It's always hilarious watching these people go super tryhard with their cookie cutter netdecks in casual against my quest decks.
Anyway, Crystalweaver and Kabal Trafficker are super cool cards. I wonder if we'l ever get to a point where they're viable.

As funny as watching everyone try to emote me and not realizing I have them all muted.
How would you know?
Constant hovering over their hero portrait.
I tried to go without muting for awhile, but it seems to have gotten worse over the last few months or something. I think part of it is my golden hero portrait. When I ran the legend cardback it was constant.
If flametongue is so broken that shaman can't be fine with it in its current state how come shaman was dumpster for a long time?
As I was playing those 2 card in a discardlock last week I realized people don't expect those cards, or the bloodfury potion. It is quite something seeing a imp gang boss at 9 attack with taunt and an opponent who doesn't really know what to do with it.
The traficker game me 2 times a jaraxxus
No.
I've been playin' Kibler's Evolve shaman and it's pretty damn fun!
And the best thing is that you dont feel all dirty like when playing Aggro Shaman.
I play a variant of this. Built the deck myself before I knew Kibler was running it.
Been saying this for a long time, but Wild is a very fun format for laddering. The smaller pool of players seems much more willing to experiment at lower ranks. By the time you start climbing toward legend, expect to see mostly broken-ass stuff, however. Your secret pallys, pirate warriors, pirate shamans, etc. The lower ranks of Wild, though are just full of people trying out weird stuff which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It is very refreshing in my experience compared to standard.
wish I could just get the classic pack even though I don't have the card back

I wish Cabalist's Tome was rotating out.
