Antrax Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I fell in love with the new Miracle Rogue:http://i.imgur.com/oVEE3qV.png It's challenging, competitive and a lot of fun. Most importantly, it's different than what I laddered with the last couple of seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 You need conceal to get lethal don't you? turn 7 gadgetzerian with conceal and draw cards, or drop creatures and conceal them before sapping the defenders and pushing damage.

Antrax Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yeah. Usually what happens is you play an auctioneer and conceal it, cashing the cheap non-face spells on the way (coins, backstabs etc). The next turn you cycle a lot which results in drawing a combo kill (deckhand + cold bloods + faceless) or just drawing a lot of damage or just trying again, doing something like cold blood the auctioneer, hit face, conceal again. If you pick up Loatheb along the way it's also not bad in protecting auctioneers, since you can pretty easily clear the opponent's board with AoE and sap. It's a bit tricky because sometimes they bend over backwards to clear the auctioneer (like BGH + Shadowflame) and often the next turn you make a "quiet" move like developing two minions (5/4 and 3/3) when you're already looking at 12-16 damage burst that's just looking for you to retain a board for a single turn. Other times you just push tempo like an oil rogue and just go face with a cold-blooded minion. This most notably happens against aggro where you don't have the luxury of screwing around gathering combo since your heal is the one ERF and it takes 10 mana to do the full combo.

Fluffy Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Probably you missed it, but I found it great that Rafaan stole my golden deck and said: Wow this deck is only golden cards? yor colelction is at the same level as mine (probably lost something on translation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Interestingly, in English he says "your collection is even greater than my own", so it's funny in Spanish he's like "eh, you're also kinda okay" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Anybody tried the current tavern brawl, have come across a truly horrible deck that really makes it a fairly unpleasant experience. First time I met it, I did the guy 130+ damage and still lost 8 or 9 cards into fatigue. Basically it revolves around antique healbot, gang up, shadowstep, vanish, the guy that does double battlecries, chromaggus, defender of argus, dark iron skulker, fan of knives, Alex etc, hideous am 5/6 playing it and only lost to a completely godly warlock draw that killed me at turn 4 or 5 when I couldn't draw any healing.

Antrax Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I really dislike this brawl but can't tell you why. I just built a random Hobgoblin deck and did my opponent in with a 9/9 Frostwolf Warlord. I know people are having fun with crazy OTK combos.

Antrax Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Similar to Magic, Hearthstone will now have a "standard" format, containing only the basic set + expansions from two years. http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/19995505/a-new-way-to-play-2-2-2016 Pretty exciting news IMO, neatly solves many of the creeping problems (power creep, reno lock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't know what you talking about lol, dreadsteed? reno lock? power creep? I played brawl once, got my pack and good bye. Winning 5 in Arena with rogue is pretty easy ATM. I think its the most solid character for me, and I have never played him in constructed!

I enjoy the brawls, I don't have good decks for some of the classes, so use the brawls to do those dailies. The last brawl, every creature cost 1 and was 1/1, so a turn 1 Dr Boom was nasty, but very few people played silences, so dreadsteed was an unkillable trade with any creature which then came back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't know what you talking about lol, dreadsteed? reno lock? power creep?DreadsteedPower creep is something that happens in TCGs, where to make people buy cards, cards become gradually stronger, crowding out older cards. Piloted Shredder, for instance, is king of the 4-slot, which was previously contested by cards like Senjin and Yeti. If you constantly shift old cards out, then new cards don't have to rising in power to beat the old ones. Renolock is a control warlock deck with Reno Jackson. It has more early game than traditional handlock (i.e. it does things before T4) and can rely on a combo finish or just out-valuing the opponent.If they didn't rotate sets out, as time progressed Renolock would've become the best deck since the price of paying it (only one of each card) would've become less and less crippling as more options opened up, and Warlock has the best hero power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Not sure if this belongs here or as a separate topic. There is controversy about the new expansion being abbreviated as WOG, this being a racial slur in the UK although not in the US. Not sure how I should feel about this.

Funnily enough I do not feel like a racist when using it in this context. Perhaps you could use the German pronunciation (vohg) if it is something you find offensive. Of course context is everything. It could become racist if used "humourously" in the wrong way but there is no reason why it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgoetze Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 So if the new expansion came out with initials that spelled the N word, that would be fine ? This is the rough equivalent.The "N word" is 6 letters. WOG is 3 letters. Given that there are hundreds of languages in the world (even just considering those that use the latin alphabet), it's going to be really hard to find a 3-letter combination that doesn't mean/imply something bad in one of those languages. So whining that this abbreviation means something bad in your language is just a case of egocentrism. Also, go read up on the concept of "context".

Antrax Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I missed that. I saw that on reddit they abbreviate it to "OG" but never thought why they dropped the "Whispers". Also, free packs and legendaries! Whoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, from a Canadian point of view, I never thought of "wog" as an "English" word before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, from a Canadian point of view, I never thought of "wog" as an "English" word before. It's mainly used in UK and Australian English I believe. But (I work on a MMO) if I was bringing out a new expansion, one of the first things I would do was to google the word and just check I wasn't making it awkward anywhere I wanted to sell it. We had a robust discussion in our game about the word Motorhead - in the US somebody who tinkers with cars, in the UK an amphetamine abuser (hence the band name via the Hawkwind song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
