Antrax Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm pretty sure you can break 50% even playing priest. What's your goal anyway? Are you going for rank 5 every month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm pretty sure you can break 50% even playing priest. What's your goal anyway? Are you going for rank 5 every month?I'm going for rank 5 in, uh, any month. In the 5 seasons I've played so far, my highest finish has been rank 6. My tryharding has been mostly with Gromless Patron Warrior and Tempo Mage (not the very fast version that is currently popular, a more grindy one), though I've got some Vek'lorless C'thun Druid and Doomhammerless Shaman mixed in there, too. For this season I crafted myself a Leeroy to play Zoo (for some reason I hate playing Doomguard Zoo), it's just winstreaked (65% winrate) me to rank 11 which is, I think, a decent place to be this time of the month. Also added it to a Pirate Warrior I threw together around the end of last season and won 56% with, though I'm not sure it's actually better than the Southsea Captain it replaced (and I would replace it with Captain Greenskin in a heartbeat if I opened that). Nevertheless, I play for fun so gotta mix in those janky decks every now and then. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I don't bug you guys with everything I write, but this got picked up by PCGamer so I'm somewhat proud: http://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-handle-tilt-and-other-mental-obstacles-in-hearthstone/ Also I'm in love with OTK warrior but am ***** at playing it. Working my ass off and still only 55% WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may assume they have no taunts or heals (Tempo Mage, both Mirror Images have been used). This seems trivial So: Worgen 2 manaInner rage 0 mana worgen to 6/2 windfuryCharge 2 mana worgen to 8/2 charge windfuryRampage 1 mana 11/5 charge windfuryFaceless 4 mana 2x 11/5 charge WFLoot hoarder 1 mana 2/1 Attack with worgens, only secrets that can get in the way - ice block, you will do 22/24 and kill next turn with axe if necessary, counterspell/spellbender you will have 2 8/6 worgens which will do plenty of damage with the windfury, vaporise you will lose one worgen but do 22 with the other and 3 with the axe. Opp can always get in the way (ice block, animated armor and an AoE freeze is awkward), I can't see a completely guaranteed kill but how many cards in his hand/deck would be useful to know.

Antrax Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I don't see how you beat counterspell or spellbender. Does your solution account for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Oh, now I do. Rampage antonidas, worgen, charge, inner rage, faceless. You have two worgens that hit for 16 each. Vaporize means you hit for 19 and can finish with axe this turn and the next. Ice block means they drop to 3, next turn you finish with axe. Nothing else seems relevant.

Cyberyeti Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I don't see how you beat counterspell or spellbender. Does your solution account for them? Ah OK, the worgen isn't damaged if IR is counterspelled so I can't rampage it. yes you have to rampage antonidas first to account for that, although ice block will allow some plays on opp's turn that will stop you, but probably not cards he had in his deck. There's an issue with vaporise, how are you doing 19 this turn and 5+ the next ? Sounds like you're using the war axe 3 times in 2 turns.

mgoetze Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 What actually happened: I played Worgen and inner raged the Spellbender. Facelessed the Antonidas, hit opponent with rampaging charging Antonidas, finished him with 2 fireballs next turn. It didn't end up being terribly hard/complicated but it's a good mental exercise to run through in max. 60 seconds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Not relevant to this, but if you have antonidas in play and play a spell that gets countered, do you get the fireball ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgoetze Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Somehow I enjoy ladder play most at the beginning of the month. Most of the tryhards are either in the single-digits already or are waiting a week before they start, and you get to play against serious but off-meta decks. I played against Dragon N'Zoth Rogue and N'Zoth Druid today. With what deck? Glad you asked. I went 10-12 with this monstrosity: 2 Power Word: Shield2 Shadow Word: Pain1 Acidic Swamp OozeBloodmage Thalnos2 Doomsayer1 Flame Juggler1 Garrison Commander2 Shadow Word: Death2 Shadowform2 Tournament Medic2 Excavated Evil2 Holy Nova2 Darkshire Alchemist2 Entomb2 Holy Fire1 Cabal Shadow Priest1 KodoriderProphet VelenSoggoth the Slitherer I'm pretty sure one of the late-game cards needs to be changed into a second Flame Juggler (other 2-drops I considered: Boneguard Lieutenant. 2-drops for Priest are pretty sad.) to give me a more consistent early game, but I can't quite decide which one. And don't say Soggoth, Soggoth is MVP versus Mage, Rogue and Control Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 There's a Reno Shadowform deck floating around. Kibler played it on stream after losing to it, and I've actually encountered it twice on ladder myself (which, considering how rare priest is, is relatively often :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I know, but I don't believe in Reno Shadowform. I really can't imagine making do with only one of: DoomsayerShadowformExcavated EvilHoly NovaDarkshire Alchemist and I find it sketchy at best to have only one SW: Pain. Plus, my big removal package (that doesn't require already having upgraded Shadowform) is 2 each of SW: Death, Entomb and Holy Fire - you won't usually need all of them but having enough in the deck increases the consistency of having one when you need it. (And yes, I know that Reno Shadowform runs 2 Shadowform and sometimes even 2 PW: Shield but.... that just makes it even more wildly inconsistent, doesn't it?)

Antrax Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 It's not so bad to run duplicates in a reno deck, especially if you draw a lot. There are Reno Freeze variants that run as many as 8 duplicates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Just out of curiosity, does Auchenay Priest and Reno damage or heal you? When I played Reno Mage you totally had to run 2 mad scientist and several secrets, some games you could not use Reno, but they were rare.

Antrax Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's awful in Arena and since Priest was already the weakest arena class, they announced they'll never offer it as a stop-gap measure until arena is balanced (there are hints they're going to tweak card offer rates based on something other than the rarity) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
