I play Muckmorpher and Big Bad Archmage, so I randomly got THE BEAST. The opponent didn't recognize the card and thought the effect helped me so he felt the need to use his only silence on it. I thought it was funny.

CatalystCrypt posted a message on What if the salt thread...was a bad ideaPosted in: General DiscussionQuite often anytime someone tries to have a meaningful conversation about problems in HS, "Salt thread link:" "There's a salt thread for that". It's just really annoying how this website is a forum for Hearthstone, but now it seems as if the only place someone is allowed to talk to in a moderately annoyed tone is the salt thread. And who actually reads what the salt thread users say? It's like writing in a diary: I am mad. Big Priest is bad. What do you think? I would like to get Kaladin's opinion on this.

Liam3Bucks posted a message on How impressive is getting 500 wins with all classes?Posted in: General DiscussionPeople on this forum are spoiled. Winning 4500 times is not impressive? Good grief. OP, you've done something that over 99% of players have not been able to achieve. If that's not impressive, then I'm not sure what is.

Fortenbrass posted a message on Every tech card for if you really hate Big PriestPosted in: General DiscussionBig Priest is one of the strongest decks in Wild and has been since Knights of the Frozen Throne launched in August 2017, and many players find it difficult to play against. I have spoken with many Wild players in-game and a problem that many of them cite with Big Priest is the lack of good tech cards against them as a control deck.
My goal is to show every card that can disrupt the Big Priest in some way. This will mostly include cards that summon minions for your opponent, but cards that increase the cost of your opponent's spells work well too.
I will give my thoughts on not only a card's viability as a tech card against Big Priest, but also as a standalone card against other decks.
Saronite Taskmaster is a decent card in every matchup. It's not offensively bad against other decks and a 0/3 taunt is an awful resurrect target. This card is better than many other alternatives if you really hate Big Priest.
Weasel Tunneler is a meme card. I only mention it because I want to give a shoutout to Weasel Priest.
Gravelsnout Knight is worse in every way when compared to Saronite Taskmaster. The only benefit is that the bad resurrect target comes out faster than the 0/3, but this is a disadvantage in every other matchup. Tempo = good and this card is low tempo against aggro decks.
Cornered Sentry [/card] is a very good card in any Control Warrior deck. It has synergy with [card]Brawl, Cornered Sentry, and it clogs up the resurrect pool. Run this card in any slow Warrior (except for the odd one out).
Doomsayer/ Howlfiend and Trechery clog up the resurrect pool with two of the worst minions in the game. Imagine the Big Priest plays spellstone, reviving The Lich King, Obsidian Statue, Katrina Muerte, andDoomsayer. It's unlikely to happen and bad in every other matchup but it's the most effective strategy for destroying the Big Priest's spirit.
Devolve is a good card in Shaman. Play it.
Tinkmaster Overspark transforms minions, which is better than summoning minion effects.
Flight Master is a 3/3/4, which isn't that bad. If you hate Big Priest this is a legitimate option.
Rattling Rascal is so unplayably bad that it should never be considered for any deck ever.
Kazakus is already played in every Reno deck, and the Mystic Wool potion is always good. Pick Mystic Wool against Big Priest.
Hex is a good card in Shaman. Use it.
Poison Seeds would be better if it transformed, but it still disrupts the res pool while clearing a wave of big minions.
Polymorph is a good card in Mage. Use it.
Marsh Drake is a bad card in any deck except Aggro Rogue, but that deck already beats Big Priest so this card is bad. It's 3 mana do nothing in mot circumstances.
Leeroy Jenkins is a good card in most Aggro decks, and it serves it's purpose against Big Priest. Unfortunately it comes down a bit too late to be super useful.
Loatheb is a great card in every deck and is decent against Big Priest. Everyone knows how good this card is, and it destroys the Big Priest's turn when played.
Muck Hunter comes down after Barnes and Vargoth. Too slow.
Hungry Ettin is a decent midgame taunt that summons a bad minion for your friendly neighborhood Big Priest. Unfortunately, it's too expensive and shouldn't be run.
Mad Summoner is so bad against any other deck, and it comes down later than both Barnes or Vargoth. Don't run this card.
Nerubian Unraveler is played in decks like Cubelock and Darkest Hour Warlock to combat all removal spells, but it works especially well against Big Priest. Keep running this card.
Entomb is a tech card for control decks against other control decks. Every good Priest deck is a combo deck. This card is not very good in the meta.

YourPrivateNightmare posted a message on Game of Thrones is disappointingPosted in: General ChatQuote from YourPrivateNightmare >>Quote from ShadowsOfSense >>Since there's a lot of negativity here about the latest episode, I'm going to offer my own positive thoughts on it. A lot of it is in direct contradiction to what you guys found disappointing, so I don't expect agreement, but I figure maybe I can get you to like some part of it a little more =P
First of all, I want to make something very clear - I have not read the books, and I think comparing the show to the books at all is futile. From what I understand, they've diverged so much so long ago that trying to reconcile character portrayals or plot points from the books with the show is not worth your time. You have to look at them as two separate pieces of media. If the show not following something from the books is part of your annoyance, that's fine, I just can't agree with you on that.
- Battle Tactics: I'm sorry to say this, but you guys seem to have been expecting a battle between two armies. This was never going to be that - it was always an unstoppable force meeting a woefully underprepared wall, designed only to buy them enough time to lure the Night King in. We heard it all last episode when they talked about how they were going to die, and we saw it as early as after the Dothraki hoard were slaughtered in this episode, where Jon goes to stop Daenerys from raining fire on the encroaching hoard - neither Jon or Dany were meant to engage the undead army, their entire purpose was to kill the Night King. I think the futility of their defense and the gradual advance of the dead was really well done - apart from the terrible lighting, of course, thank god for Melisandre.
- Bran, Boy Blunder: I don't remember seeing any of you guys complaining about this specifically, so I wanted your thoughts on it - were any of you actually expecting Bran to do... anything? I've seen a fair few people complain that he just sat in his chair and didn't help out in the battle at all, like they expected him to suddenly Gandalf it up or something. Dude's got no legs and has displayed no magical capabilities beyond warging and looking stuff up on the GoT wiki, he was meant to be bait and he played that role admirably.
- Main Character Deaths/Plot Armour: Listen. There is a time and a place for a Red Wedding style culling of characters (which, honestly, even that I don't think was handled well), and three episodes before the finale isn't it. I don't know why you guys seemed to want like, Tyrion and Jon or whoever to bumble around for three episodes with everyone else dead before Cersei finally merks them, but that would have made for a shit viewing experience. Is it incredibly unbelievable that everyone in the courtyard survived? Absolutely. Do I give a damn? Nope. The deaths we did get were all incredibly well done, apart from Melisandre - I think she should have gone up in flames as she lit the trenches, a fitting end for her after all the people she's killed in the same way.
- Arya, Kingslayer: I thought this was a fantastic way for the Night King to go out. They've been building up his arrogance for a while now, with his need to kill Bran/TER/Creepoid by himself, and having him hesitate to kill this tiny little human and get killed because of it makes so much sense. In addition, Arya is literally a trained assassin, and this is a perfect culmination of her story - after everything she's gone through, pledging herself to the god of death and then turning around and fighting for life, dealing the killing blow against death itself, saving Bran with the dagger that was meant to kill him (thanks Littlefinger)... fantastic storytelling.
Having the Night King die after a 1v1 with Jon would be so... anticlimactic. It's such a trope, good vs evil, final fight to the death. Similarly, them using some sort of magic spell with zero build up would have been very deus ex machina and unsatisfying, in my eyes. Would it have been cool if they'd been dropping hints about it, or gone on a quest to learn how to perform it? Sure. But just pulling it from nowhere would've been so weird, I don't know why I'm seeing people suggest that. - Now What?: This is my favourite part of this episode - they've gotten rid of the big bad with three episodes remaining. They've given themselves plenty of time to deal with the loose threads they have, and still have plenty of people they can kill off, heroically or otherwise. Now, could they screw this up? Absolutely. I'll be ranting and raving right along with the rest of you if we get a cutesy closing shot in Episode 6 of Jon and Dany and their two beautiful kids playing around the Iron Throne while Sansa and Tyrion look on happily and Arya is off, I dunno, fucking Gendry. I'm expecting more from them than that, and I hope they can deliver.
So yeah! I really enjoyed this episode a lot. It went about how I expected in terms of number of survivors, though I personally refused to guess who'd be coming out alive so I can't claim to have been right or wrong there. The Night King's death was satisfying, in fact all the MC deaths we experienced were satisfying (in their own ways). My biggest complaint with the episode was the lighting/compression issues. The actual story, and the music, my god, were fantastic.
so I'm just gonna refute all your points, because you're really not making much sense.
1) it doesn#t matter what their goals were, their tactics were absolute nonsense from any angle unless their plan was to literally suicide all their troops and hope for a miracle, because unless you forgot, Arya doing her ninja shit wasn't planned anyways. The plan was to lure the Night king into an open area with Bran and then kill him somehow. Meanwhile they don't set an ambush, leave Bran with Theon of all people (literally why not Jon, who doesn't even need to be on a dragon at all since he contributes barely anything to its combat)
THe battle was set up in such a way to get the maximum action, not in any way that the characters would realistically choose. It's bad writing at its finest and you don't need to be a military strategist to see it
2) The problem with Bran is not that we expected him to ex-machina the battle....but that there is no explained reason as to why the NK prioritizes him int he first place. He's literally a glorified drone with spoiler powers. The whole "the NK wants to destroy all memory" is just a flimsy excuse to make all this work since the NK is a pooorly written villain in the first place. You're basically giving them a free pass for the plot hole they themselves set up in the first place
3) you don#t seem to understand what plot armour is. It's not about whether this was the time to kill off characters, it'S about constructing the story in such a way where certain characters end up in a situation where they should die when clearly you don't want them to. The battle could have been written in such a way where the main characters were not in such obviously lethal situations all the time, but they didn't because no effort was put into a coherent flow. There could have been several ways where the characters could have just been put into situations where they just fought from a defensible position instead of literally being surrounded by zombies and still not dying despite the power of the hoard that was previously established. Even worse at some point literally the only living people are the main characters which makes the whole scene look ridiculous.
Just because you are able to ignore the obvious stupidity doesn't mean it's acceptable.
4) while I concede that Arya is the best choice to murder the NK it's not set up at all, doesn't feel earned (she literally didn't even know about the guy before she came to Winterfell) and overall just makes it seem like this is some fanfiction-tier wish fulfillment. I like Arya as a character, but the main thing about her was that she had this crazy journey all on her own and fought her own battles. She was kind of the counterpart to Sansa who was constantly in the spotlight, while Arya herself was living her life in the shadows. Both went through insane struggles in their own way....and now Arya just saves the day, Leeroy Jenkins style.
5) this is probably the worst part about it all. After this entirely pointless detour (since the NK is not the ultimate bad guy after all) all that really happened was Dany'S forces being nerfed after we've established before that Cersei never had a chance against her. Now we're back at a point were the good guys face impossible odds which will most likely lead to some ex-machina bullshit instead of the clever political and military strategizing that the series began as.
Whether you enjoyed this dumpsterfire is irrelevant. This is objectively poorly written and is so far detached from what GoT used to be that the only reason why it's not considered an insult to the fans, the books and just the general concept of storytelling itself is because this downward spiral has bee set up for the last 3 seasons anyways.
Enjoy it if you can, but stop trying to defend bad writing with flimsy excuses. It's people like you that let Hollywood writers get away with the bare minimum because "I was entertained, so really, they didn#t need to try anyways"
You come off as... well, an ass.
does that make my points any less valid?
no?
then I don#t care

Without a source one can claim anything.
ok i'll keep it simple. I think this probably cost Viper the game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/417424950?t=10h49m26s
Playing the second Azalina there while he knew that hunterace will have less big threats in his hand was not the best play there. He discarded/threw away his own big threats while maybe hoping that hunterace had topdecked hagatha so he could get it too. But that is the only reasonable gamble there and even then it was completely unnecessary.
Viper should have exhausted his own resources first (for opponent's Hex targets, and so on) and then refill with Azalina on empty hand, getting maximum value for second azalina, instead of throwing away huge value of his own. He also knew that hunterace still has one Hex, etc. while playing 2nd azalina and throwing away his own potential Hex/removal targets. This also leaves Viper with less breathing space and possibilities later on, as he could have known to be the case.
TL;DR, I see absolutely no reason for Viper to play Azalina there. (With his knowledge of what cards Hunterace has already played, and what cards he still has in his hand+deck)..
This has got to be one of the dumbest comments I've read. Azalina was the only play in that situation as we would have died otherwise. Plus with Kalegos on board it would let him cast a spell from his opponents hand for free. If he hadn't played Azalina he just flat out dies the next turn. what you're saying makes 0 sense.
