Mana bind is a petty great card.
Playing nourish or crystal core for 0 mana is great

The amount of times I got Dr Boom from unstable portal blows my fucking mind. It's the only card that I feel rng was ALWAYS on my side. Good card after good card. I think I only got something below 3 mana a handful of times.

I love when people top deck the only card that keeps them in the game and then proceed to BM like they actually accomplished something.

tbh excessive BMing has won me so many games when i didn't have the cards to actually beat them. esp when i play gold hunter.
The thrill of the top deck is what keeps people playing card games.

Well, logged on to play a few games. Nothing but aggro.
I'm bored already. Un'Goro seems like a pretty big failure as all it did was make aggro stronger lol.
Edit: Also I just want to say Dirty Rat is like, legit broken now lol. It should be a 2 of in any deck that isn't pure aggro. Almost nobody is running big minions right now and it just completely shits on like every deck.

Randuin "Wow" is still the GOAT (except it's usually made from a position of weakness lol)
If I get Legend this month (and I am pretty close without really try harding) then I am going to try out this Quest Rogue for real.
I have been high rolled by it 5 times in a row. Either people are getting insanely lucky/have learned how to play the deck or the difficulty in activating the quest is grossly overblown.
I think if the Rogue doesn't activate the quest by turn 6-7 then they got UNLUCKY instead of it being the norm.

I don't know why people pretend that completing the quest by turn 4/5 is high rolling. It's really not.
The deck is stupidly consistent because you can run all of your bounce AND the elementals.
I don't know if this is part of the standard package or not, but a Quest Rogue completely shutdown my Miracle Priest today when they froze → Doomsayered my 7/7 Northshire. : /
Definitely cost me the match.
i dont believe you and you dont have the data to prove it.
glacial shard is definitely standard, never seen a doomsayer though.

Alright, Lyra is definitely my favorite card of the set.
Glad I crafted the golden version.

I LOVE LYRA. I really do.
I think my favorite card of the set is still Sher-chan though.
C'mon...
It's a plant that doesn't die.
The gold version is amazing.
C'mon, son.
C'MON!
Hit rank 15.
Time to go Ramp Drood and Renounce Warlock for the next week or so!

Rogue just completed their quest on turn 3 thanks to Fire Fly.
You know, you could easily fix that deck if you just banned Fire Fly and Igneous Elemental from going in that deck. I mean, Blizzard would never do that but it would go a long way toward making the deck fair.

I normally don't make angry posts, but I would not shed a tear if Priest was just removed from the fucking game. I fucking hate these dipshits so much. The only class that gets me tilted.
"Blessings to you."
I think Shadow Visions may be the best Priest card ever made.
I'm serious.
Lightbomb, Entomb, Light of the Naaru, CSP, Velen's Chosen, Deathlord (lol): these are all great cards.
Shadow Visions is even better.
They even have the most asshole emote: Wow..
If that was true Mage Wars wouldnt be as popular as it is...

Probably a more elegant solution. Still don't think Blizzard would ever consider such a thing.
That's my biggest issue with quest Rogue honestly. Fire Fly and Igneous Elemental are just too problematic in terms of the consistency they provide.
The quest should be a buff to make the minions 5/5 instead of a board state. The fact that silence and debuffs are useless (Mass dispel is useless and equality become a joke) is just infuriating. I think charging face need to go from the game in general. Such a shit uninteractive mechanic that doesn't fit HS at all.
Trying to play ramp which is a great deck, but keep running into brainless decks like token druid and taunt warrior.
Why does anyone play taunt warrior? Its so boring and requires less skill then pirate warrior.
You just answered your own question!
It reminds me of when I used to mentor Magic. New players are initially drawn to cards that gain them life. "If I gain life, then I won't lose!"
They quickly learn that life gain by itself, as a means to its own end, doesn't do anything. You don't play not to lose, you have to play to win.
The second phase is the defensive phase. Players tend to create elaborate defensive-based decks. They are starting to branch out and realize they often need creatures to win, but aren't comfortable enough with attacking to really commit to it.
Taunt Warrior reminds me of this style of play. You just turtle up with defensive units until you get to the point where you can mash on your hero power and hope you kill the enemy. As a Control Priest player, I can identify with the thrill of trying to stave off aggression until you can take control of the field and then meme players to death with their own cards, but Taunt Warrior doesn't seem that appealing to me.
Let's me use Potion of Madness and Cabal Shadow Priest though.

Erase boar from the game, take charge from patches, make Rogue quest be six times same minion, problem solved.
I know, right?
Playing against a Warlock, I had to go through two Twilight Drakes, two Facelesses (of the Drakes), and then two 4/8 Plant guys....
I mean, yeah, I'm not used to Priest winning against Control Warlock, but c'mon, son!
Now we have Twilight and Primordial Drakes to worry about. *sigh*

Just had a control Priest vs control Paladin match that actually went to a fatigue. Gotta savor those matches, they're too few and far between.
I've gotten this before, even I was disgusted with it lol
Its really good against a lot of decks. Too bad there are too many rogues right now :/
