squatsNgames on twitch.

Monday - Friday: 1pm - 3pm MST (Arizona - there is no time change)
Longer on most weekends!

Come on in, give me a decklist through chat or a deck list link from Hearthhead and I'll make the deck for you and play it. Sit in, chat it up, tell me how to play it, use my cards (I have every card in the game except for about 4-5 legendaries and a few (4 or 5) epics.)

I have skills, I have the cards, interesting chat and the willingness to play during stream time as the audience sees fit. I've got to be nearing master level play as I've been at 3star diamond for A WHILE now (hundreds of wins in only around 1 month of beta access.) I played semi-competitive MtG and was 1st player ever sponsored to play in AZ. Also, since you can't just video game all day, sometimes you want to get your "hey bro, do you even lift on?" well in that case...

Many times, I'm throwin' around training/strength/fitness advice as well as that's my career and I have the strength, certifications and knowledge to back it up!

I like the name lol. I have to say, fit gamers are best gamers.

I love calisthenics!

Alright stealther!

The video is up. Check out the squatsNgames youtube channel. More to come as well. 

In the video, I apologize for my cough and voice many times. I've been sick with wicked throat and cough for about a month, so again, I'm sorry for the obnoxiously loud cough during the video record. 

This is a secret based mage deck for the Hstone beta. I really like the deck so I'll play it more and upload more vids. For the rest, send your decks through, stay in touch on the stream and check out the youtube vids. Much more to come!

thanks guys

You're welcome.

Against the hunter yea, perhaps I was a bit concerned with what I was saying, not dying and sounding like it via audio that I didn't pay complete attention to my plays. Before I knew it, I was getting overrun and combined with Hunter hero power, it was too little too late. Perhaps the draw got the best of me but either way, I still lost.

I really enjoy the deck. I just finished playing it 3 games as a matter of fact (literally 3mins ago.) I think I lost all 3 but each game had him at around under 10 life. It is a neat change from what is probably my favorite class - the Mage. I'm an old school Blue magic player so I really like the control aspect of mage. Your deck has a nice twist to it without running the typical tons of (2) Frostbolt (2) Pyro (2) Sheep (2) of this or that. The secrets and the minions that go with that work extremely well when you can draw them. The only recommend would be maybe some Arcane Intellect or early card draw (Novice Engineer or Loot Hoarder.) Auctioneer and Drake are fabulous but they aren't early enough game to help you 'draw into' the stuff you need.

As for my health, I am fine. As I said, I'm a Strength and Conditioning coach for a living so I'm in great shape. Just got hit with the borderline pneumonia this season and it lingers with the Demi Moore type voice (I kinda like the sound for video actually.)

Anytime and feel free to make changes and/or post more. I'll upload more plays of it as I go. Today is the plan. Stay tuned and again, thanks!

Another 2 game run using Magebane! The deck submitted by stealther. Also, watch for the deck analysis/commentary at the end. Apparently, I am psyched about doing a "dick breakdown." 

You will hear the audio of it - funny stuff. Also, as before, apologies for the voice/squeaking, etc. Im about 100% but recent sickness has the voice in chaos. It will not delay my videos though!

Thanks,

I've played the RNG deck for a few trial games. I'll record and upload some video for you to see how it runs tomorrow. I'll say this

1st of all, thank you greatly for the deck submission. I'm honored and appreciative of the chance to run a deck of your design. As promised, I'll run it to my best ability, record and give a link here.

All of that being said, in about 4 games, I've made some mistakes and my commentary is less than exciting, so I'm not going to upload those recordings. The deck is pretty terrible. Not the intention or the design but in how it actually plays. The RNG isn't even in the category of 'yea but if it works it is so amazing!' There are a few cards like that, such as the Demolisher and Mad Bomber, which are amazing cards in my opinion. There is a bit of fun to it, a bit of "what will I draw next" and I can certainly imagine the looks on my opponents face. That is fun for a brief moment however.

When you draw cards, have a hand in front of you and your opponent has a board of his minions vs. your minions the fun only lasts so long when you realize it is kind of hopeless. It is more frustrating than anything else, so again thanks for the submissions but while I can enjoy and separate 'competitive' decks vs. 'theme/fun decks', this one just doesn't work at all. I go into it expecting to lose and I do so miserably enough that it loses the charm and whimsy. Sorry.

I will give the other deck a shot soon as well. thank you!

Ok all, here is where squats is currently standing.

As you know if you've watched any of my videos, my voice is terrible right now. I feel great and its frustrating. It is as though I am forcing sound out but nothing is happening. So, I will stockpile some videos, do recordings and playthroughs of the decks you have all sent, make the changes and otherwise make it all happen. I will then let the voice recover back to full and do audio commentary after the fact and upload the videos then. 

The plan is to release them all in a massive upload to my youtube channel within a week at the most. So keep the suggestions coming, keep churning out the decklists and I'll chat with you all very soon!

I am playing the games and the crazy Holy RNG video is already done, with audio coming soon!

Thanks and stay tuned!

Very cool idea, and a neat way to give to the community members that do not have beta. Kudos.

The holy RNG playthrough is now online. Man, that was a tough deck to play. Thank you for the submission and I look forward to testing more! Coming soon are the playtests of the Warlock rush deck and a few more plays of the reworked Magebane deck that started it all. 

On my end, Hero spotlights, Deck spotlights and Card spotlights are coming soon! Stay tuned at the squatsngames youtube channel or come and chat with me on my live twitch stream at squatsngames, M-F, 1-3pm MST.

Thanks!

I probably picked too many low cost minions...

The real game has a "recommend" a card when you build a deck that says "hey, you need more 3 drops, pick one of these" (I never pick one of those, but I do listen to the mana cost.  Really helped me build my first few decks.

Whats up friends!

Squats here. Things will be coming soon. All of the family is in town for the Thanksgiving holidays, so once the lazy days are over (after this weekend), I'll be back at it strong!

In the works:

- The plan is to start streaming on Sundays from 10am - 2pm, mainly to run Arena's.

- The big project in the works is below!

- I am writing a few articles on high level play, Arena strategy and things like that. 

- More youtube videos of deck, card and Hero spotlights! 

As always:

Will be playing and uploading your decks as it typical with the squatsNgames stream/youtube channel!

so thanks all and stay tuned!

Here is a small teaser of what I've been working on. I've been doing a bit of Photoshop work and some design stuff to create the Deathknight Hearthstone cards. This is entirely fan based (fake and NOT Blizzard approved.) Here are a couple of cards. I have all but about 6 or so cards left to finish off the entire deck.
