Ice Block is getting Hall of Fame'd at some point. It has to be.
I mean, this is like many "fun and interactive" aspects of HS, like any combo that happens while you watch.
I don't think Yogg is an issue, he fucks you as often as he helps.

Thanks! I haven't yet, and I'll probably save my dust.
It feels like it could work, but that's a thing in HS. You always imagine the perfect scenario vs what actually happens over multiple games.
Combo's involve a player setting it up and actually playing. Yogg plays the game for you. That is just silly design.

Can't win with Zoolock for shit even matchups I should be favoured in.

there have been a lot of bad plays in this tournament so far .. but that freeze mage takes the cake.
Keep at it. Disco is surprisingly hard to play. There are a lot of non-intuitive decisions that to make, and the right play isn't always obvious.
Unless you're talking about non discard zoo. Can't help you there.
Lol
I opened it in a pack, and it has its uses, but I don't think it's quite strong enough to craft.
Absolutely destroys Zoo, for what it's worth

Zoo used to be my favourite deck in OG and disco zoo after karazhan still felt well positioned but Zoo losing PO is such a big deal. I'm missing the out to steal a game it provided and zoo just can't contest the board for too long.

Quest Rogue is at Secret Pally levels of absurdness. The only strategy I can think of is to pull out my switch and play zelda while roping every turn.
taunt warrior mirror
Just like most of my taunt warrior mirror matches I've ever had.
50/50 in the end.
Try Hunter.

Hearthstone designers aren't dumb. They must have had something in mind when designing the quest. Maybe it was an answer to something in the meta.
Probably a good thing from a business standpoint to introduce a single deck type that's just ridiculously OP. Do that and players either have to spend money to buy the cards to create that deck, or they spend money to buy the cards to build specific counters to that deck.
These posts may seem unrelated, but they aren't.
Observe the card that's even more crazy than a Quest Rogue that's drawing the nuts.

Side note: Don't try and copy that deck I was playing. I was experimenting with some secrets in a dumb Mage burn deck and it's hardly optimized.

So the answer to a deck that wins by turn 6 is to play a deck that wins by turn 5. I get more fun out of pissing off random internet people by roping their cancer decks.
There are different ways to play it. I don't usually feel like it's a total toss up. Usually maxing out your card draw or just racing out the lower cost taunts are going to be the defining factors.
Yup my thoughts exactly. Warlock's quest is somewhere in-between but also looking to be just awful so
Every quest mirror seems to be decided by that.
Mirror matches are the worst part of this game.
That and rogue quest alone. That quest is so dumb.
A control warlock with the quest + deathwing is pretty damn cool atleast though I'm not sure it's all that great.
The actual discard zoo stuff is ass though. The actual requirement is really high for how clunky the mechanic itself and the reward is.
Went through my collection and dusted things like Hancho, that Warlock reverse Ivory Knight and other cards I'll never play and crafted Edwin. Dude is killer and won me the first game I used him in thanks to Brawl RNG.

Not completely comparable. Sulfuras is no tempo loss while crystal core is, if you're only slightly behind you can present a board where your opponent is unable to play it in fear of you completing and playing yours while having the board.
Mirror matches can be the most skill intensive environments the game has to offer.
Murlock is back? I wonder if that deck's actually legit.
You mean one of the card generating ones? I love that concept, but it's just asinine with Block (and freeze effects to a lesser extent).

How is the rogue quest fun? Its one of the most mindless ones.
Same end effect for the person complaining about non-interaction, though.
I had the dumb 75 murloc quest and I actually threw all the garbage in a deck and somehow won 5 straight.
That 4 drop health murloc is something I forgot existed but I was able to coin it turn 3 and play finja with it for pretty huge swings in two of the games. The new 2 and 3 drop murlocs are really powerful, so I wouldn't be that surprised to see someone make a decent list.
They'll always have the same problem though, they just aren't sticky enough and if you get wiped once you're fucked.

I think the Rogue quest is the least fun to play against.
I mean that's what Shaman quest is for. Being able to discover more murlocs is also a big deal.
The requirement is SO high. I think it's a strictly worse jaraxxus.
It's a bummer too because I think it's a really fun deck to play, trying to min max your hand to discard the 'right' stuff. I added the token elementals to fill my hand with the 1 mana 1/2s to try and give me more discard ammo..... but still the whole concept is unreliable

I don't think it's nearly as mindless to play as pirate warrior or midrange hunter.
It's way less fun to play against though.
I think I need to try this. I'm starting to run into way too many quest rogues.
Got a good list?
Beg to differ. Priest mirror matches have always been the best of this game for me, no truer than now imo. And I routinely beat priests who obtain and use Amara first.
Destroys secret mages or quest rogues?
Also, got a good list? Not sure what midrange hunter looks like anymore lol. Is the lynchpin the new hero power modification? (+2/2 to beasts)
Firefly best neutral card in the game from Ungoro?
*Played in Zoolock.
*Played in Token Druid.
*Played in Quest Rogue.
*Played in all Elemental decks.
*Best card in Quest Hunter even though it's not that good of a deck.
*Played in Handbuff Paladin.
Turns out powerful 1 drop is powerful.
