Random Warlock arena draft build using cards from RNG drafter from the site. Giving players a chance for banter with me so they can have a chance to peer into my mind's eye to see exactly why it is I do the things I do in this game which catapults me into the higher ranks every season so that they may get there themselves in turn becoming better Hearthstone players.

Bio of myself: 

 I started playing Magic:The Gathering in Alpha when it was first released all the way back in 1992 in junior high school so 22 years ago. As one of the games first successors till present day I haven't slowed down since. Excelling at both draft and constructed play and have a history of winning thousands of tournaments. I have noticed that Hearthstone incorporates a vast majority of the same play mechanics (even fixing some of Magic:The Gathering's short comings with the biggest one being (mana screw). Coming into this game new I was an instant success much to the respect that if you was a decent MTG player (because it is so much in similarity) that you are almost naturally going to be an unfathomably good Hearthstone player straight out of the gate already way out classing the rest of the competition that are also new to the scene much like yourself. With all colorless mana,less of a card selection and minions being able to target anything that you want basically makes the game even less complex than MTG and the additions of 10 extra life plus class avatar abilities (much like Magic:The Gathering addition of Vanguard cards) hardly compensates the switch in conclusion is much easier to play than its predecessor in my own and probably most other experienced players opinions.

  As stated earlier though I am now giving back to the gaming community by offering my ideas and personal opinions on anything the community would like to know such as substitutions, deck lists,deck techs, (whether it be arena drafting, constructed, (my own personal constructed decks that I currently use today) or even just friendly random discussions on topics to overall better the Hearthstone community & potentially the game itself. My goal is to get anyone that stumbles upon this page & takes the effort to actually go through and give it a read to be rewarded a much higher gaming level than ever before that they may otherwise not known to be conceivably possible to them. I don't like how the current meta is evolving here with great lack of imagination the vast majority deck copiers and so I am striving people to push the envelope and break the meta by always being able to craft something a cut above it so no real meta exists (other than the few sign of the time decks that are always expected to pop up out of the blue as you'll have that in any great card game and as a player have no real control over?), Blizzard Entertainment does though so that is what nerfing is for.  "LOL" 

 It is much like the saying goes "Give a man that is starving a fish & he eats for a day,but if you teach that same man to fish he eats for a lifetime. (Meaning that if you copy everyone else's decks yes you will win a better majority of your games,but don't expand your own mind and explore your own playing ability & full realized potential that is possible beyond your comfort zone and become able to decipher why certain decks are good? Why that certain card is played in only a certain class or archetype?Why the meta is what is today & what it has manifested from and so forth? Players who have went out on their own that are making their own decks now are much ahead of you because they have realized this and though trial and error no matter how numerous the defeats was still relentless in their struggle & possessed the inner courage & dared to take the risk to do so in the first place. (Which is the key element to breaking the meta is simply always asking yourself "WHY"? There for I am going to fix that best I can if only being one person. (Huge task I know right)? ,but I am up for the challenge as I recently got a good amount of free time from my job as of recent and having already written several deck articles for you all to take examples from that have previously given me success in this game and giving me a chance to give back  to you all. I am going to at least attempt this great feat (Whether it makes me feel like I am Atlas  or not)? I will at least give it my most valiant of efforts as I owe you all said efforts with this my chance in being given this opportunity to pay it all back for a very satisfying & gracious yet humble 20+ years or so of entertainment and be able to at least ante up (Magic:The Gathering pun totally intended)"LOL"

  Last of all the reason I chose to do this is because my love for our gaming community as it has become a big part in my life growing up & has made me more intelligent, gave me a better understanding/perspective of things by increasing my analytical thinking skills that I use in every day life that serve me well even to this day,saved me from numerous hours of boredom because it was storming outside. numerous cash prizes with state,regional and even national wide events in turn gifting a small amount of fame to me in the MTG community & most important of all countless new online and in-person friends that I know still to this day dating back to 20+ years ago that I would have never otherwise known if it weren't from gaming giving me some of the most memorable moments of my life.

 I hope you all found this read to be inspirational and very informative. Hopefully you will go check out my new to meta unorthodox decks and if you don't understand why I did something I did and it isn't explained in the deck tech to please ask me so I can elaborate for you as I love feedback and will always take time out of my day to help other players in becoming better players. If you feel like I have done a good job feel free to follow me on here to get my current posts and like my deck techs if you could so others may also get to see too and word of mouth will spread via this site to further us all in thinking outside of the box and if not destroying the meta at least making the options so diverse with so many new ideas that it doesn't feel like the meta exists. That is my goal (and the majority of all of my decks do presently as they will in the future reflect exactly that) along with helping everyone that I can along the way. 

So who all that is starving in this Hearthstone gaming community is ready to follow me down to the docks & learn how to fish to rock the meta best we can?!   

If so I urge you to subscribe/follow me as I am going to be highly active in deck techs in the upcoming months that stay current in competition with full explanations.
