Obligatory "welcome to the off-topic section of the forums"
The trailer really hit home that the show is now exactly what the author had set out to make the story NOT to be, like a satire that somehow lost its irony along the way. The point of the story is that war sucks, nothing good ever comes out of it and it shouldn't be glamorized the way it is in typical works of fiction. The fact that the final battle is against zombies looks scary, but in reality takes away, in GRRM's words, the real horror of war; that you're taking the lives of real, living people on the other side
Then there's the shot of Varys hiding in the Red Keep. This one really gave me the feels. Remember how in the first few seasons, everyone was using their brain? Remember how blind faith and plot armor isn't rewarded like it usually is in western high fantasy? This unique take on the genre is what drew me to the series in the first place. Now there's nothing left of what once was. Instead we have the chosen ones atop dragons ready for their final battle against an ultimate evil
There was never meant to be an ultimate evil (the Night King doesn't even exist outside the show and the Night's King with an "'s" is someone else entirely). The characters in this story weren't meant to be black and white. The "black" in fantasy are usually dehumanized and faceless; people who are easy to hate and easier to kill. The people in Game of Thrones were meant to be grey, each with their own complexities and sympathetic in their own ways. This is all to drive home the point that people you fight in war are human. But since the books ran out, everyone has been flocking to the extremely good or evil sides of the spectrum. So much that I'm seeing the same personality over multiple characters
The upcoming finale feels like it's going to be such a desecration of the original work and its message. There is no "game" in Game of Thrones anymore. All the players died nonsensically or became nonsensical. All that's left is Zombies vs Dragons. Isn't it a better fitting title for what the trailer is selling us? Both invoke the thought of pure fight choreography and CGI. We already found out last season how many plot holes they were willing to open up just to show us a CGI zombie ice dragon

Oh my fucking god. First time I draw Keleseth is when I Bright Eyed Scout into it for a fucking 5 mana keleseht. Amazing game

LOL. What's the point though, when I can't even draw it. And druid is cancer anyway, I will porbably dust it for something better. Like shifter zerus

Crafted Keleseth because one of the decks I made only had two 2-drops, removed them and added Keleseth. Played 5 games, never drew Keleseth once.
Later opened a pack, got a golden Hydronax, crafted a deck for it, played 5+ games with it and never drew it once.
This game is fucking aids

What if you're losing and hte person disconnects accidentally, then the AI takes over and continues to whoop your ass? That doesn't sound like fun. Just take the free W man

People who defend a deck against which you can't play minions because the secret kills them and you can't play board clear because the secret prevents that have probably had to stitch their anuses together multiple times from the time they've allowed Blizzard to take them from behind

Lol it's hard to tell man, last time I made a thread about it, around the time when Ice Block was Hall of Famed, your joke was pretty much every argument people were making

Fucking cancerous aggro mage playing 3 counterspells in a game. And people sperged out on me when I said Counterspell should have been hall of famed instead of Ice Block. As annoying as Ice Block is, at least it doesn't nullify your last move nad then end your fukcing turn becaue you're out of mana, leaving you with absolutely nothing. Cancerous card

Hunter is such a bastardized class in general. It was shit for a long time, so they just started throwing OP cards at it until it got out of hand and became a degenerate aggro cancer with OP cards.

You haven't been playing the game for a while I see if you think this is a control meta

He is right though, witchwood only aplified the cancerous Aggro meta. Standard is in a very shit state
