only for ur first legendary in a set
Ah, cheers.
That is right but you should focus on this year's sets. Old gods was a fine set at the time but these days it's mostly irrelevant outside of handful of cards. Un'goro in particular is what you want followed by mean streets.
Alrighty, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

I've finally done something I wanted to do ever since I started playing Exodia mage and realized a fatal flaw that can be exploited.
Beating one by not clearing their board. The combo needs 5 of 7 slots of the board total and they have no burn to kill their own creatures with. They also all run the guy giving you mirror images now.
My opponent played a doomsayer to clear his own board and I comboed a a vilefin and shadowstepped it so he was left with his entire board sans the doomsayer and no way to clear it but ping away for multiple turns.
gave me more than enough time to make my otk combo exactly so fatigue would kill him.

Yeah...that's one way to win. Granted, they might run their minions into you, which alot of classes don't have an answer to. So it only works against certain set ups that don't rely on minions.
Current Zoo is definitely less skillful than it used to be.
Mostly because there are a lot of yolo Discard cards in it that run counter to how you normally play Zoo. That and there are less positional effect/buff cards left and less Deathrattles to play around in Standard. The card text is more wordy but the playstyle is less fundamental based.

Coldlight Oracles are so fricking good right now.
yeah it's surprising how exodia mage is technically able to tempo people out that don't expect it. Without anotnidas 4 apprentices are still 12 damage.
Yeah I keep looking at Twitch and Priest is just dominating the streams (I'm trying to find good Mage streams, lol).
Heck with the Twitter announcement yesterday that's already probably a reason for the influx of Priests today.

fuckin' called it, man
Druid is dumb but Priest is the real problem.

Better nerf Druid
Druid 100% needs a nerf but I definitely prefer facing druid than these stupid high roll priest lists. Oh you had Raza on 5 and shadowreaper on 8? Guess I got outplayed.

Jeweled Macaw into Webspinner. THE VALUE.
I don't own Classic Deathwing.
Them 1/5s!You can spwan 30 health of taunts though lol...
Where is your deathwing

Yes, those 1/5s. You're spawning 30 health of taunts off a 5 mana card. That's like 3x to 4x the value of a typical 5 mana card.
I am assuming you're not serious though

You think that mattered against his board? lol It was the equivalent of two Frost Novas!Yes, those 1/5s. You're spawning 30 health of taunts off a 5 mana card. That's like 3x to 4x the value of a typical 5 mana card.

Spreading Plague is a fantastic card, but this is not a situation where it shines.

of course you lose. He has 40-50 mana worth of stats on the board. Funny thing is you're able to actually make a dent in that board where most other classes playing a 5 mana card simply lose twice over from that spot. This somehow justifies not nerfing druid, which I hope you're just joking about
Let alone the fact you're in wild and they're not balancing druid around wild

Mm hmmm!
This is the problem with aggro. I don't care about how easy or boring they are to play, that's not my concern as the opponent. What is my problem is that I need to draw my answers by turn 2 or 3 or I'm done. And even then I might be done if they had a particularly good draw.

I got the rogue dream in arena:
turn 2 hero power, turn 3 envenom weapon, turn 4 runeforge hunter -> indestructible poisonous weapon, yeah. And I also had the lifesteal enchantment in my deck.
sadly it was countered two times in a row by weapon removal. one time bloodsail corsair and one time by ooze. But I was soo happy when I got the combo

that's one of the worst things, specially when the match is being in my favor. If I know I'm losing I don't feel as bad.

Do you run Poison Seed in your Wild deck? You should.

I have missed shadowstepping stonetusk boars for lethalt so much, did it twice today playing Thijs altered list of Dog's OTK mill rogue.
This jade druid thought he was playing pure mill rogue and shuffled idols into his deck 3 times.

I like to think in this particular game we were 50/50.Those raza priests are cool to play against, but the match takes a while.

And today, they don't even run out of steam early on. Aggro Druids plop down a Living Mana or two and it's like they never lost the board at all. Pirate Warriors have these 8/3 weapons and stuff that you can't always stop.
Three times last month I was playing > rank 5 and my son woke up from a nap so I had to concede. Ahhhh!
I've tried 1x Poison Seed to combo with Innervate and Primordial Drake. When it went off it was wonderful, but there aren't many decks I really need it against. It would be great against the new giants, but giving my opponent a board of 2/2s likely still spells death since I need the other half of the combo in my hand as well.

Think y'shaar might be my next craft. It's the only old God I don't have and I want to play some high roll priest

I was gonna say, all you need for the combo to work is either that, or having a Spreading Plague so you can atleast protect yourself against a huge board like the pic you posted.
I suspect they're most likely just going to can Innervate, since I don't think they care about Jades as much when they're going to be in for one more expansion, and there's already a tech card against them.
Now that Druids have astonishing card draw and can easily come back from a lost board, that kind of mana manipulation lets them get too far ahead.

Dumbest fucking mechanic Blizzard has introduced in the history of hearthstone.
So fucking done 10 Druids in a row at rank fucking 15-12 3 more weeks of this shit is way too long. Fuck the tournaments or let em run on an old client or is that too hard for tiny indie company. Hell they could just ban Druid from being played at the remaining HTC's, because nobody outside of Udyr and SilentStorm is stupid enough not to ban Druid so it wouldn't even make a difference. This is worse then Undertaker,Shamanstone and Secret Pally meta's.

Now that I've a deck that's good against Priest that I like they can do to druid whatever they want.

Yeah I can very easily see Priest just filling in the vaccum to become just as bad. I'm going to try and enjoy Jade Druid as much as I can but I think I need to hurry up and finish the last couple of Priests cards I don't have from the current expansion.
what list are you running?
A kinda crappy "budget" one, hah.

Won like 8 in a row so far. A highroll priest highrolled the shit out of me with a few yseras and rags by turn 6 and I outraced him.
Very few decks can deal with the first board you create. And you can create that first board pretty damn early often.
Arcane giants come out too late usually so replacing with molten giants would be way better. Don't have them though and won't craft giants that will likely become useless when they inevitably change the interaction back.
Less Jade Druids in the meta means that other slower decks can fill in to try to beat Priest. Doesn't even have to be control decks but rather combo and Midrange decks. Basically anything that used to get rolled over by Jade Druid for free.
I think right now there is an inflated Priest population because everyone is anticipating the Druid hammer. People are moving away from it and trying for something different. The meta is still trying to tech against Druids which allows Priest to flourish.
