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

Don't mention Devolve cause I freaked out when that card was announced and gaf basically lol'ed at my hysteria. They thought it was the rantings of a mad man. I seem to recall a certain gaf threatened to feature me in their video but not sure if they really did
And here we are- Devolve is the troll card I feared. It even sees pro play!!! May I say I called this as soon as the card was revealed... My main point though at the time was that it really screws over zoth / deathrattle minions which do nothing unless they actually die
See- I really hate removal / polymorphs in this game cause unlike Eternal we cannot play on opponent's turn to block it. We just sit back and get screwed. dont get me wrong I love HS just sayin'
Devolve helps me a lot. Good against PW, tunnel trogg and totem golem, QA and VC, and especially against buff pally. Even when it turns to be a better minion, I still have hex or another devolve or removal spell.
weird not familiar with Neirea. Loved Fr0zen's water warrior at HCT winter
Ah I remember now his name is b787. Such a fun guy to watch but I just know he will tilt bbgungun style
Funny no one mention DocPwn who almost won North America Winter undefeated. Think he only lost to one guy at the very end...
Probably choosing between Pavel and Fr0zen.

No one else going for Tarei? I feel like Tarei has been around a long time now.

Zoth sucks in standard rn tho.
I'm still not convinced of devolve. The times it's great are easy to imagine but in practice I always thought my opponent's devolve was bad. Then they play the 2nd devolve and I'm fucked.

Life finds a way.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

well yeah zoth is super dead and was at the time Devolve was announced. I still knew it was gonna ruin our day. I was really thinking bout Tirion & Rhonin which were already facing hard times. These cards see play on Wild where Zoth is a hero rather than a zero. At least at my tier
I am always thinking bout Wild since I play both Standard & wild almost evenly
Granted pirate wars rampage on Wild too but Belcher stops them in their tracks. esp Duplicate + Belcher. I use Zoth to rez belchers to lethal btw

Made it out of the Rank 10 slums into the Rank 8 ghetto.
Warriors as far as the eye can see.

Day[9] has a pretty epic laugh though!
"Vanilla pack filler" will definitely not be on the stream (unless they are dumping the whole set which they almost certainly are not) so that tile's already out of the running. Probably "Cousin of Magma Rager" too.

They didn't say anything about any show matches tomorrow right? I assume they're just going to be showing images of the cards and talking about them a bit, maybe giving some insight on the expansion as a whole.
Shoulda been Cho'gall. Biggest whiff I can remember.
I'm currently listening to this podcast episode that's got an interview with a game designer for Hearthstone.
I'm finding it very interesting.

EDIT:
Well, after listening to the brief interview and as a new player I'm very excited about the expansion because it will let me experiment along with the experienced players at least at first.

I think Taunt Warrior may be done, I don't see that getting more support.
I also don't think there will be a 1 mana minion with Adapt, unless its a 0/1 card.

Blizzard hotfixed the Brawl it seems. I haven't tried it myself but according to Reddit;

There's a month left. You can easily average 50g per day for a cool 1500g per month.

Seriously of my last 10 games around rank 8-9 I've faced 1 Mage and 9 Pirate Warriors. It's comical at this point.
^ frankly that sounds awful. I'm probably going to settle for rank 11 this month. got too many other games to play
WarTile just released which is a game I've been waiting on and Epic Digital Card game Alpha comes out on 3/22 (at least for backers at my tier). Not to mention Mass Effect is looming. Want to knock that out before Ungoro too
hopefully the two of these games combined will keep me distracted til Ungoro drops. but will still occasionally log on to clear quest logs
<edit> I watched Ryzen's stream last night. He was playing a Malygos rogue which is fun to watch. Seemed like he was fighting an endless stream of jade druid and jade shaman though.

Is what it is. Basically doesn't really come down to strategy, but rather just who out draws/curves out better from the start.
Guess ferty is right I kind of miss the older mid range meta. Granted, I do find the ladder easier then ever to climb if you like fast decks. but my attention span is too short I think I am going back to Malygos rogue. not even expecting to climb will just play for fun and try to accumulate wins to one day go Golden Rogue
currently at 180 wins this endeavor is a long term one I'm afraid

Bet Pavel this time. Must piss off Salty Savage.
Yeah that Aviana/Kun list requires some brass balls when it seems like everybody is bringing two or three aggro decks each. Big part of why I didn't choose Fr0zen.
Yeah I dunno how he is justifying that list. Maybe just hoping to beat Jades with it or something? No idea.
I think I'm going to settle on either Dr.J or Tarei. I can't go for Pavel again, too many people voting for him means he's gonna lose. haha.
voted for Pavel but on my smurf I will vote Fr0zen.
QFNS will once again make me mad with jealousy as his underdog sweeps up all the packs for him
Still think b787 will do well as long as he doesnt tilt. The guy was so happy to win Asia he was in tears. Surely he would not make a good Jedi!
looks good!

There are games sometimes that makes playing the game worth it. I was playing my wild reno mage against a nzoth pally. The game was like 20 min and kept going back and forth and we went to fatigue. I won because I saved my poly for his tirion (he used nzoth before he put down syl and tirion so I was lucky). and was able to save my reno till we were in fatigue. it was an awesome game. He even emoted well played first, so I think he thought the same thing (he was golden).

TFW you are facing warlock on arena and he has 3 shadowflames in his deck that he draws one after the other to clear the board each time, shit is fun.
How do people draft those ridiculous decks, I have never gotten that lucky.

Still broken. I'm not exactly sure what the behavior is but it still spawns multiple PGs, I think having to do with damage. After noticing multiples were still spawning for my opponents occasionally, I pinged the first one that spawned on my side with an Elven Archer, and lo and behold the next turn a fresh one popped up next to the damaged one

play arena with your quest gold, after expansions drop the skill level goes way down, 4000 gold will most def net you way more than 50 packs
it gets stale playing nothing but arena for a couple hundred matches but i'm never spending real $ on this game again unless they introduce something somewhat reasonable like starter packs for expansions.
