 actually not that bad of a shout... considering that I don't really see much reason for a shitload of players to start playing rn out of nowhere (I mean it would have been a lot more logical if it was tomorrow if anything, but even then the HS servers should be fine... )

I hate playing priests so much I insta concede against them (and I'm definitely not the only one doing this) and now I see 1 of these degenerates complain? What's so fun or interactive about playing a basilion Convincing Infiltrators and boardclears? 

I think priest really needs a serious overhaul because the way it plays now is 1 of the most frustrating and unfun things to deal with. As long as priest plays as it does I'm all for it being bad and if you ask me HS development are free to nerf some of these annoying cards to the ground.   

It's cute that you made an account just to promote him.

The gold packs are not included in the pity timer, from what I understand. So it wouldn't make a difference. 

 I read the same yes... If you want to assume it does work with pity timer I'd say may be open them from pack 5 - 10 (last 5 packs of pity timer). you could ofc pull a legendary before then, but I think you'd have the largest chance in those packs normally ...

hm tbh it also kinda depends on the cards the mage used before... there could be an argument for pushing face with the 6/2 depending on what cards you think the mage (is likely) to have in his hand... 

But yeah other than (possibly) that I don't really think you did much wrong... 

The only other thing you could possibly make a case for is using your HP instead of playing auchmerchant (assuming you're going face with the 6/2 and saying he doesn't have any burst)  but I don't think that would be a very good play considering he had alex in hand and doing 5 damage out of nowhere would be pretty hard without any beasts... 

 Honestly I don't really think you played it that badly..

Purple may be? idk I don't watch much battlegrounds as I find that pretty frustrating (to watch) :S

It does ofc depend a little on what you like watching and such... I gave Purple as an example because he's got a pretty high rating (~12 000) and he'll show you gameplay of a fairly 'efficient' way to ladder... you can however also improve by watching for example kripp although he will try slightly more 'wild' stuff and more 'unconventional' ways to ladder (in general) (he also has a lower rating from what I remember)

I finally made peace with myself and with this topic. I apologize for my behaviour and my language.

I now concede every game vs priest. It wont rank me up very fast but oh boy how much more fun I´m having and I´m a much more peaceful person. 

Over and out.

 I'm proud of you ^^

- Blizzard should at least provide some tech cards against the albatross effect, currently there is no counter options.

 Polymorph, Hex, in my zoo lock I run Magic Carpet and Rocket Augmerchant with Infectious Sporeling, I ran Tinkmaster Overspark in my highlander warrior lists for a while, a well-timedFlik Skyshiv can erase many birds from deck. Blackjack Stunner can be a good way to delay the birds in a deck that draws incredibly fast anyway and can afford a few dead draws.

There are counter options, but they are not equally available to all classes, some just don't fit in certain archetypes, and others are just bad. Pure pally, for instance, is pretty much just wrecked. But I wouldn't flat out say there are no counters, and I would also argue for a slow (post-nerf) card that aims to slow down the opponent in the long game (it's good against control but aggro doesn't aim to draw through most of its deck), there doesn't need to be a universal good counter for it. It doesn't warrant it. The issue lies with too much resurrection that multiplies the effect of the death rattle to a potentially problematic degree, so I say it's the priest res mechanic that needs countering or changing, not the albatross. There, we also deal with wild and the endless amounts of Convincing Infiltrator and Khartut Defenders.

I'm just playing along with this thread and looking at what the problem might be. Personally, I don't really care since it doesn't bother me too much. When I play highlander mage, I mulligan for polymorph or Zephrys into hex and try to avoid killing a turn 4 albatross if I can afford to wait. Also won against a res priest once despite them shuffling over 20 birds into my deck by being super greedy with my hand and always going for max value plays. When I play more tempo-based decks, I don't care about the birds. Basically I either have a plan to deal with it or don't care. Again, sorry pure pally. That deck is just hopeless in most matchups.

 how can you call Polymorph or Hex a counter to albatross?? if that's the best counters out there, I think I should be playing more albatross in my decks imo

 Because it is? Transform effect removes Albatross from the res pool. Those cards are just general res counters, and as control decks, which would run those cards, are also decks with a longer game plan, they benefit a lot if they can prevent having their draw bricked by many birds.

If you're considering playing more Albatross in a non-res priest deck to bait a polymorph or hex from better targets, you're really missing the point. Albatross sucks outside res priest, especially post nerf. Read all of this with res priest in mind. 

 The issue I took in calling hex or polymorph an actual counter is that you're using a 4 mana spell to counter a 3 (now 4) mana minion and the biggest benefit you're getting out of it is that their res-pool might be a bit worse so they might whiff up to 2 times in the game later on (if at all). I'll admit however that hex and poly are probably the best answer you'll have to answer an enemy albatross, and that albatross isn't as good a card against faster decks (postnerf) sure... I won't deny that. 

I mean it's not like res priest doesn't have any other juicy polymorph targets... 

(I'm not arguing that it's your best play however)

 I'm a butt hurt douche that wants the universe to align to my sub par intellect.

Sure, you're probably not wrong. Still if you're just pointing out the obvious, what are you actually contributing to the conversation?
