Sounds about right. That effect is in solo adventure. 

I had Wondrous Wisdomball active and it changed the cost of Forbidden Shaping to 9 mana. Casting that spell gave me a 1-mana minion because it cost me 9-mana to cast and the spell itself consumes your remaining mana for the minion generation. I had 1-mana left over, so I got a Leper Gnome.

Since the "forbidden" mechanic is based on 0-cost cards, you "spend" 0-mana and the remaining mana is consumed to equate the value of the outcome (like summoning a minion with value equal to the mana your spell consumed, for example).

All that to say if they had 10 mana when they played Forbidden Words, it makes perfect sense that they'd clear Loatheb; the spell costs 5-mana now, and the remaining 5-mana would allow the spell to destroy Loatheb.

That was still a very effective play, btw. you made them spend all 10-mana on removing a single 5/5. idk your board state, but that's a small victory.

 Point is it was turn 5, I now understood how the card works, but at heart it doesn't seem right that with an increase cost he still managed to kill my Loatheb on turn 5.

Pretty good but I don't see the point of buying more wings except for the additional heroes, if you are interested in that. I bought up to 3 wing and kinda starting to regret it. Pretty funny overall but I rate it as "luxury" content / not safe money wise.

Edit: forgot to mention that I already have tons of cards of RoS and already cashed the pity timer, that's why I'm not going forward

Kingsbane rogue (the aggro version) can do great things against it, They have no weapon removal.

Sadly Big Priest is and will forever be what ruins the wild format until they rework Barnes.

Congrats for the wedding dude! I wish You an happy life :D

As a random Italian guy I also must say that this pizza looks tasty, well done!

Despite everyone judge the Wild Meta manages to represent all classes at some extent. I still do not approve that Barnes stays the way he is but that's on me I guess. Nice post btw.

It is a great set indeed and I agree. But i cannot follow the logic of the rarest card=useless. It feels bad when you find them sure, but wouldn't it be worse that all the good and necessary cards are also the most expensive?

Yeah you are right, i didn't think of that through. Paper seems a good solution then.

Wouldn't be easier to create a discord channel where you found other people to play old cards with?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the warrior class. The thinning is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical cardgames most of the draws will go over a typical players's head. There's also garrosh's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Rafael Sabatini literature, for instance. A Truly warrior player understands this stuff; he has the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of those draws, to realize that they're not just insane - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who misreview this class truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Garrosh's existencial summon call "Victory or death!," which itself is a cryptic reference to Ayn Rands's character Ragnar Danneskjöld. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Ben Brodes's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Horde tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Because not everyone has fun the same way as you, and some people enjoy those types of decks.

much like how spell discounts don't impact forbidden effects, the card text trumps the card cost.

There once was a tale of Timmy, Johnny and Spike. Three Magic players.

Timmy liked to have fun and do weird and strange things and just have fun. Enjoying a deck is the most important part for this player. 

Johnny likes to make decks and see if he can make an interesting card work. He sees making deck not as a part of card game, but THE part of the card game. 

And Spike likes winning and to feel powerful. For the Spikes of this world winning equals fun. If they are not winning they aren´t having fun. They don´t care where the deck comes from, they care if it wins. 

This applies to every card game. Now it´s difficult to fit exactly into this and a lot of people have a bit from another, but these are the general archetypes of the players that exist in card games. 

Moral of this story everyone plays the game for a different reason, and neither of them is playing the one true way to play a card game. And neither of them is entitled to another player playing the game their way. 

Character being different in later seasons than in earlier seasons = character progression, as long as we like the outcome

Character being different in later seasons than in earlier seasons = inconsistent writing, as long as we hate the outcome

come on guys

Meanwhile, back in Essos:

It's just Murphy's Law. Once you switch to Tempo Rogue or Miracle Mage or something to counter Mech Hunter, you'll start facing Control Shamans and other Control Warriors. Nothing you can do about it :/
