Hearthpwn

Here's my guide on how to play the great 

BUT CORRECTLY!!!!!

STEP 1!

PLAY THE QUEST! 

Now, i might be alone on this one, but in order for you to  get the quest done, you're gonna want to play it some time during the game.

STEP 2!

DISCOVER SPELLS!

Now you don't wan't to just go out there and discover any spell you can find. You need to discover one in particular, you're gonna want to discover spells that freeze enemies. If you aren't able to play 6+ freeze spells by the end of the game, you're not doing it right!

STEP 3!

FREEZE STUFF 

Freeze anything that can be frozen, as long as its an enemy of course. continue this step until you have the combo down, and have played at least 3 ice blocks.

STEP 4!

CONCEDE!

After having your ice block eaten by an Eater of Secrets, which was tech-ed in by a n'zoth c'thun quest paladin, concede before the enemy can kill you.

THankS for reading!!!

DISCLAIMER

If this needs to  be deleted, ill delete it, just thought id make this post for fun in light of me going against a ton of quest mages, so much so that i tech-ed in an eater of secrets. I haven't lost to them since.

here's a question so this can be somewhat constructive and not a total shitpost.

Has anyone else gotten to the point of just having an Eater of Secrets in almost all of your decks?  Cause i have.

Also, what other cards have people been teching in to counter other specific decks? cause the only ones i know are The Black Knight for taunt warrior and the one mentioned above.

Unfortunately tech cards in this game are mostly worthless. They are always under statted, need to be drawn at the perfect time and of course are 100% useless when you are matched up against the wrong class which seems to to happen right after you add the card to your deck. Eater of Secrets is wonderful against a Mage with a full stack of secrets.  But.... more often than not it's simply a wasted slot and a total garbage 2/4 body.

The game needs to have flexible tech cards where they get a stat boost IF you don't use their listed tech. For example, say you play eater of secrets and it does not eat any secrets. The stats should change to at least a 3/4 or maybe a 2/5 so it can have board presence or at the worst not be totally useless. Harrison Jones is another cards like this. Terrible card in every situation except for the Dream case where it kills a fat weapon and draws you a bunch of cards.  If it doesn't kill a weapon then it should change to a 5/6 body or whatever. 

Sorry but IMO tech cards suck. Blizzard needs to fix the broken decks and overpowered cards. Like quest mage....deck is so obnoxious and obscene. Just fix it and we won't need crappy tech cards.

depends on the meta. tech cards tend to be OK 1-ofs In Arena (at least before new arena). Think about how much AcidicSwamp was used last meta

dirty rat is a better choice to tech IMO.. if you hold onto it until much later.. you arent as likely to pull something like babbling book or doomsayer.. and if you pull a combo piece.. you basically win.. unless youre dumb, and pull out antonidas, without something else to kill it.

But dirty rat is more viable in other matchups.. you can stall the rogue quest, if you get the right pull

Eater of Secrets was not even viable when secret paladin was still a thing and quest mage is no where close to being as strong as secret paladin. Even without teaching against it you should be able to win most games against quest mage, as long as you don't play a super greedy control deck. And if you play a super greedy control deck then put in a dirty rat or two and problem is solved. Seriously people crying over Quest mage is just the most ridiculous thing ever.

That feeling when your techcard destroys your opponent!

I'd say yes. Dropping eater on a hunter Christmas tree is awesome!! Mages get arrogant thinking ice block will save them.

 Secret paladin died with wotog cause they lost avenge tho.

When I've met several mage and secret paladin in a row I put it it, after that I don't see a secret deck anymore until I take it out again.

 True. Still point remains: Quest mage is neither rampant enough or strong enough to justify using such a heavy tech card against it. If you just want to have the great feeling every 20th game that you win just because the eater of secrets, then go ahead, but from a rational point of view a dirty rat is more than enough.

 It's not like it doesn't work against secret/tempo mage and freeze mage who don't use the quest.. That's far more than one in 20 games.

I don't think its about justifying how good Eater of Secrets is, but rather crushing the soul of mages everywhere.

 I have teched in black knight in many decks, because it connects over 50% of the time.  I've considered Eater of Secrets, but only face mage about 20% or less.  Not even hunter and palidan run secrets these days.

 He's not wrong, answers are specific and questions (aka threats) are universal, this has been a huge problem with the game since sideboards aren't a thing and you have no clue to who you will match up against. Even if you queue into 10 pirate warriors in a row it doesn't mean you'll run into another one the ext game when you tech crawler in (the gamblers fallacy). There's a great video on it that Asmodeus Clips made. Tech cards definitely need to be more flexible granted the anti pirate crawler was one of the first flexible tech cards for beast hunter.

I finally got to eat an Ice Block just now. I had 9 health, he was at 4 health and i KNOW he had Pyroblast in his hand, i had a Storm Guardian out. I said Well Played and of course he thought i was conceding, but then i dropped my Eater of Secrets and ruined his day.

It was worth the other 20 games where i couldnt use Eater. :D

*Eater of Iceblocks is amazing...it's just one card, you don't lose anything against not mage opponents...
