One Shot! Thanks for the list.

It helps a lot that the AI likes to spawn all his 2/2's right before attacking into explosive trap :D

I'm pretty sure it just works like a Swiss format tournament - It will try to match you to someone with your exact record and if that's not possible within a certain "reasonable" amount of time it will start looking at very close records, then slightly bigger differences, etc. Generally this would become more relevant as you win more; there will be a lot of 2-1 decks to pair you against so at 2-1 you'll probably play other players who are 2-1 close to 100% of the time, whereas at 9-1 you might face someone who is 9-0 or 8-1 or something since there are fewer players at 9-1 at any given time.

Much much simpler than trying to set up an algorithm that tries to determine deck strength and match you based on that.

If you think Gang Up is broken go play a Gang Up mill rogue for 50 games or so. Count the number of times you didn't draw coldlight at all and just sputtered out and died without accomplishing anything. Then count the number of times you died by turn 6 to an aggro deck you couldn't do anything about.  Then take a look at your winrate. If it's anywhere near 50% I'll be impressed, and a 50% winrate deck isn't anything close to broken.

Playing Warrior VS Paladin yesterday. He gets a pretty solid board of 4 or 5 minions set up. He plays Thaurissan and has 3 cards remaining in hand. I brawl, axe the surviving minon, and think I'm in pretty good shape. 

Then, double muster into quartermaster happens.

The burden of proof is on the people who are claiming that the drop rate got changed behind all our backs without anyone telling us. Saying "well where's your proof that it DIDN'T change" is bullshit. People have accumulated stats on the drop rate in the past, and if you want to suggest that it changed, you need to provide stats to back that point up, not just go "well you don't have up-to-this-very-moment stats either so it's my word against yours!" That's not how this shit works. The burden of proof is on the people making the weird conspiratorial accusation, not on the people saying that things probably are still the way they've been observed to be throughout the game's history.

What a twisted logic. I don´t need to proof anything to you. And only because my point of view differs from yours doesnt make it conspiratorial. Just cut the personal insults.

I´m trying to be open minded here. As i stated serveral times now, i´m willing to change my point of view, sth that you are obviously not capable of. So from now on, spare your time. I won´t read you anymore.

@Duranoar: Thx for the links. I will look into them. Especially the 250 and 420 pack samples sizes are great. That is something i can work with.  Appreciate it.

Well, maybe it was a long bad card opening run in addition with the crappy preorderbonus which lead me to the conclusion they might have changed the drop rate. I´m not fully convinced yet but maybe i will be after reading through your links.

I didn't insult you personally at all. I insulted the argument you're making, which is a completely different thing. As for the idea that somehow I'm some kind of fundamentalist drop-rate-er who would never change their view, I literally stated in my post the conditions under which I'd change my point of view, namely that you and/or the people who agree with you present evidence in support of your point. I also stated in my post the reason I hold my view, which is that there are statistics to show what the drop rates are and as of yet no one on your side of the argument has presented any statistics to suggest that they've changed.

What makes it conspiratorial isn't that you disagree with me, it's that you're suggesting that blizzard has decided to change the game in a way that doesn't benefit players at all without telling anyone and without any evidence that that's the case. Again, I feel the need to re-iterate that I would change my viewpoint if there were evidence to suggest that the drop rates had, in fact, changed beyond "I think it changed because I feel like I'm getting bad packs now"

New goal: Tinkers/Blade flurry a gorehowl

Because you can flurry a gorehowl after you attacked..

As someone else said, you can attack a minion first. Even if you don't attack a minion, you can do 10 AOE damage to everything. Even if that somehow isn't AS good as possible in a given situation, it's fucking awesome and at the end of the day what else matters?

Lost at 11-2 in Arena to a priest who played three goddamn lightbombs.

How do you have that much stuff to efficiently lighbomb? o.o Even like, 1 is OP in priest decks.

My deck was an aggro-leaning mage with a bunch of weenies, buffs, card draw, and echo of medivh, so I pretty much just had to keep playing out all my little guys and then getting completely wrecked by lightbombs...

To be honest it feels like once you reach Legend for the first time it just gets a lot easier the other times you try to reach it, confidence probably plays a big part of it. Last autumn I tried really hard to hit Legend and got up to Rank 1 and 2 lot of times but couldn't quite make it. But January this year I finally made it and after that I've made it every month so far.

Once I made legend for the first time it definitely felt a little bit easier to get back. Once I made legend with freeze mage for the first time, it now feels incredibly fast to climb with literally anything else :P

I can't tell if I'm more frustrated that face/zoo decks work so well and that EVERYONE COPIES THEM, or that I can't seem to come up with an original deck that makes them sorry for it.  If I keep losing to those two I'm just going to become the scum and make one myself so I can just top deck like every other lucky SOB for victory.   I've never seen more uncanny top decks than in those themes.  Oy, okay, /endrant. 

It definitely helps on the topdeck front when the whole deck is designed such that most of the cards can be topdecked for immediate damage. Doesn't make it any less annoying, though

The effect should happen the from the time he is in your hand or it should only affect the opponent.

It would be interesting if you had that and then some kind of "Sense Dragons" so you can pull him to your hand near the start of the match

If they make a sense dragons card I will never play anything but freeze mage again. Sense dragons getting me my alex every single game would be beautiful

Rank 4 NA Rank 5 EU.

I've been able to play significantly less this season than I usually do so idk if the double legend will be feasible, but I really want to pull it off
