    posted a message on PSA: Free Arena Ticket - leave an unfinished run before RoS launches

    To clarify, are you saying that if you make an arena run, and for example go 5-2 then stop, you will get the 5 run reward and then still have another arena run after rotation?

    Before this list went up I found theo’s list and found it to be the best recruit hunter list. I brought it in my anti control lineup to the battle of the discords tournament and went 5-1 with it to go 5-1 in Swiss and then place 5-8 in bracket play. I don’t 100% agree with the dire frenzy being completely useless (2 of the games it was the only reason I won), but then again I was going out of my way to ban aggro. Might still run it on ladder tho. Great guide and great stream Theo!

    Quote from SubPixelPerfect >>

    I'm a fun of smart play, i love skill based decks
    I like to survive first part of the game, to draw big hand to have choice, and to make hard and smart choices,
    I love to know meta, and to play around opponents deck, and to outsmart my opponents

    lets look at current meta
    Aggro/tempo:
    Tempo Rogue - no skill needed - just  draw a prince
    Zoo Warlock - no skill needed - just go face
    Evolve Shaman - no skill needed - just draw evolve
    Aggro Token Druid - no skill needed - just get good start

    OTK:
    Highlander Priest - a bit of skill is needed - just draw raza
    Secret Mage - no skill needed - just draw combo

    Control:
    nothing playable

    there is not a single spot for skill, the smartest choice (if you like to win) is to grab a luck based deck and cross fingers

    So what happened to game i loved to play before?
    it is started with old gods - superpowerfull cards was added, first time it was not that bad - one or two mega cards in you opponents hand to play around, but with next expansion blizzard had to introduce something even more powerful in order to make new patch better, and then one more time, and again. So, now we have a huge amount of overpowered cards. And what happens when overpowered meets overpowered? Yes, wins that player who drew more overpowered card faster, what a fun.

    RNG cards is another problem, but it was discussed many times.

    What is a way to fix it?
    there are few ways to fix it:
    1) to stop printing OP card - i'm sure blizzard not going to do that
    2) to rise win conditions like to give each player more hp and bigger deck - this well make games last longer and blizzard never going to go this way
    3) to find something better to play - this is the only thing i can do without blizzards assistance, but sadly there is no real competitors

    so looks like the best thing i can do is to quit

    If all of these deck are low skill, which most of them are not (notably razakus priest), then you can say the same thing about every deck in HS history.
    This following part does not constitute my views, but I am going to bash most of the decks that can possibly be considered high skill just to prove my point above:
    Freeze Mage: What’s so hard? Just freeze their board, alex them on 9, and just point spells face. They can’t even interact with you it’s so low skill to play
    Patron warrior: Incredibly low skill you just draw your frothing, warsong commander, and patrons and you just auto win it’s so easy.
    Handlock: WOW so much skill 8/8 turn 4 and then you taunt up and go face what’s so hard about that
    Renolock: You draw reno. Congrats much skill
    Miracle rogue: 12/12 edwin turn 3 so easy. Or just play gadgetzan and draw it’s too easy.
    Control warrior: remove their threats then just play your own and jam face it’s so straightforward
    I’m sure I missed a couple, but does this prove my point? Any deck in hearthstone can be trashed on. Also, there are plenty of counters. Golakka to combat tempo rogues, evolve shamans, and aggro Druids. Eater of secrets to counter exodia Mage (which you called secret Mage). I haven’t even talked about deck choices yet.
    If you want any more systematic dismantling of your argument please let me know.

    Why do so many people act like control vs aggro is like good guys vs bad guys. Its not. Aggro is a healthy part of the game. You aren't a saint for only playing control decks  

    Agreed. Lots of players would quit if the ladder was 15 minute matches every game. However, getting smacked in the face by a pirate warrior game after game is not fun either. There needs to be a balance

    Good explanations for your card choices and combos you can do Pandamina. I didn't think about the 30 damage one you mentioned. Also, I have one suggestion for a card inclusion and a combo possibility you may have not thought of...

    You can also tech in a faceless manipulator to make the combo more consistent because you can use it in place of one apprentice OR one molten reflection if you didn the draw one of them. And before anyone in the comments starts saying it's impossible to fit faceless in the combo bc it is too expensive and that it requires 1 more mana then I have please just hear me out. The trick is to play ONLY ONE apprentice for 2 mana, faceless it, and then cast time warp for 3 mana using 10 mana in your first turn. Next turn you play the second apprentice or one molten reflection it doesn't matter cuz both cost 2 mana at this point, and then play archmage, and then cast the second molten reflection giving you 4 apprentices and a 0 mana fireball.

    Please share your thoughts about who you're going to choose as well as a reason (if you'd like) below. I'll start off. I'm picking fr0zen because it looks like his pool is the weakest without any big names.
