At this point i think ahead what turn 10 will look like for the Priest. I just play like i know for sure that he has mind control on 10 (because most of them do, tbh) and i make sure that on his turn 10 it's not a viable option for him to play mind control.

 And you don't even whinge about it in online forums??? What are you, some kind of pro?

Are your aware that it is early access with limited content? It's basically a demo

WTH did you expect?

Not yet another outlet for diehard copy-pasters. Just that. But it's pretty clear it's way too much to ask from Blizzard and the brainy Hearthstone's players community.

 There are very few cards to choose from, and the hero powers railroad players into certain types of decks.

Why do you expect people to play bad decks ok purpose?

Sounds like you should just wait for the full release and give it another shot then instead of whining on the internet like a spoiled child.

Deathstalker Rexxar is my favorite card ever, he's so rewarding and he enables hunter to beat res Priest. Shadow madness is a close second.

Kazakus and Zephrys are honorable mentions for me.

We're really scraping the bottom of the barrel of things to complain about now, huh?

That can be said, by your rationale, for any minion that spawns another.....see previous example of Sneeds into a SZ.

Some you win....mostly you lose, especially with him. As has also been said, he is the ultimate high risk/reward minion....and as BG's is primarily an RNG game, theres no reason why he shouldnt be part of the card set.

All that said though, you did pick him for the very reason you ultimately won with him...out of curiosity, what were your other 2 options for your T3 discover, and if picking SZ leads to your OP, why pick him at all?

 I think the other rewards were a coldlight seer and the 2/1 divine shield dragon, neither of which i had any use for.

Maybe Zerus would be more balanced if he was limited to your tavern tier +1 or something.

I never buy him from Bob.

sounds like you lost and are bitter about it.....blud

 Actually, he won and feels guilty about it.

I'd say it was just a lucky highroll and should enjoy it! That's not exactly something that will happen every game.

 I don't know about guilty, but it definitely had nothing to do with skill, so it didn't feel very rewarding.

I guess I just can't see the point of having a minion that is mostly useless but sometimes sweeps the entire game on pure luck.

 

 Its because SZ can sometimes 'sweep the entire game on pure luck' that you picked him from the T3 discover though, right??

I mean, i dont know what the other 2 minions were you couldve had, but you chose SZ, and then hit the jackpot with him. Ive had the absolute turd on countless occasions and never got much better than a Selfless Hero from him.

But, as said - you picked him - then get salty because you swept the lobby because of him. If his highroll offends you that much - dont pick him going forward? Just a thought. :)

 Oh, I'm not salty at all - I won!

I just wanted to hear an argument for why he should be in the game, because cheap high roll wins don't really do it for me.

I just played a game where i found Zerus as a triple reward on turn three, on four he was Kalecgos.

Then i bought some tier 2 dragons and proceeded to buy and cycle every possible battlecry minion.

I stomped the game completely, even though I didn't get a triple of any of my dragons. I replaced one of them with Razorgore later on, but other than that, i just spammed whatever battlecries i could find... mostly murlocs.

My point is, i stomped the game from the beginning because of one lucky find off Zerus.

Nobody had any kind of chance to beat me.

How is that fair? Why is Zerus even in battlegrounds?!

It was really fun for a few runs but it got stale quick because it's so underdeveloped

If buying a hearthstone preorder and then not liking the bonus content is really the greatest regret in your life, i find it extremely hard to feel sorry for you xD

I’m afraid that all in all (new rewards system, more cards per year, etc.), a complete collection will cost more to maintain. I hope I’m wrong.

 I wish they'd reduce expansions to five cards a year. That way I'd only have to buy one pack every year to maintain a complete collection, because what's important about this game is that I MUST OWN EVERY CARD!

 Well, to enjoy the game to its fullest - yes. Maybe not every card, but at least most of them. A huge part of fun in card games is building and playing different decks.

 But if there's more cards, there are more potential decks to build and play, see? So more cards = more fun

except when, unlike normal decks, it can be drafted more than twice...so yeah applying logic from standard/wild games in the context of arena isn't apples to apples.

 I drafted 4 mind controls once. I had a gut feeling it's a bad move, but decided to do it for the poor sould I was going to troll. Needless to say, sitting on no board turn 7 with 2 mind controls in hand is not great.

I think the card is fine, and priest has late game potential, it's normal that it wins most value games (maybe except against warlock and occasionally shaman). As powerful as stealing an opposing minion of your choice is, it can be played around, by only playing minions that can kill each other, and it is terrible when you are very behind. Draw it early and it can lose you the game long before turn 10.

 

 It's good to see there are actually people who understand the game on this forum! :D

Use Lorekeeper Polkelt to shuffle the bombs to the bottom and your own 'bombs' (Enhanced Dreadlord) to the top.

I played this list a lot and it seems pretty strong. Lots of healing. Two cards you can swap depending on the meta (Unstable Felbolt and Crimson Hothead). 

 This deck looks really cool and i want to try it!

I've only ever seen plague of flames be effective with the galakrond imps, how does it perform in this deck? What minions du you usually sacrifice?
