Apparently Sword of Justice into Call to Arms helps. Of course you'd need to actually draw them. There's Dark Conviction to turn the Voidlord into a 3/3. Frosty there might have a good idea with Sea Giant too. Sea Giant seems like it should be a thing in that deck anyway now that I think of it.
Top decks Flamestrike with TWO Arcane Artificers in hand. Now at 1 HP & 14 armor.
Kill an Artificer on my turn with Rallying Blade. Call to Arms. Protector, Wolf, Squier.
Mage top decks Firelands Portal onto the Wolf. Now at 1 HP & 21 armor. Gets Hallzeal off off the Portal. Plays Tar Creeper.
Vinecleaver + Squire into the Creeper.
Kill the other Artificer, attack for 1.
Frost Lich Jania! Keep in mind Hallzeal is an elemental. Now at 1 HP & 25 armor.
Hallzeal attacks my Steward. 5 HP & 25 armor.
Vinecleaver Hallzeal. 9 HP & 25 armor.
Tarim onto 1 Squire and 5 recruits. Kill Water Ele & Firefly. 15 HP & 25 armor. After being at 1 they're now at 40. Other 2 go face of course and they're at 15 HP & 21 armor. Drop the Lion.
Top deck fireball to kill my Tarim and make a Water Ele. Plays Arcanolgist and Flame Elemental.
Top deck Stegadon + one holding in my hand. 3 Tarim'd recruits on board. Stegadon 1? Windfury. Stegadon 2? +3 attack. 12 x 3 =36.
Is there anything more annoying than "Thank You" after you concede?
Yes, multiple "well played" and waiting for rope to start running before executing lethal. And it's not an abstact example unfortunately.
I wish HS had the option to mute all emotes like in Shadowverse.
I don't understand why we can't just have chat like all other games for one. And if it's cool for the "well played" and "thank you" at assholey moments then at least include an emote or reply something like this....
Because they'd have to ban all the toxic people, have less players and make less money. They're just a small indie company you know. They need every dollar!
My own steam blowing off is much like that kenny fellow just posted. Start doing well? Here's your hard counters! Ran into the literal 1 warrior on the ladder. But he disconnected thankfully. 2 games later? Another warrior! All 2 warriors on ladder when I was doing well. But I beat him too. So then it's...playable cards in your opening hand? bahahahaha. Dudepal deck with nothing to play for 3-4 turns. Imagine that. The whole point is to play things early. Now consider it happened 3/4 games following an 8 game winstreak. Really does seem like the game is intent to screw you at points. It's not even match-up based there, just a bunch of bad draws.
Also this new ladder system sucks at these lower ranks. I was 17-4 at rank 15 last time I climbed the ladder back in November where I climbed in wild. Now I decided to do standard and I'm 30-7 at rank 16. I think I'm 30-7 anyway. Decktracker stopped working at some point and I think I was 2-2 during that. It says 28-5 overall.
So far DudePal, 2 maul version with Orange's Dark Conviction version as an alternate in case things start to go bad.
How is that grind going?
I started from rank 25 since I haven't climbed standard ladder since umm...? and Wild ladder since November. 13-2 at rank 21 right now. Lost to a "fun & interactive, look at all the money I spent I'm so special!" Mage and a fellow Paladin running a garbage deck but they played lost in the jungle into ravasaur runt with windfury and I couldn't do anything about the runt because it was behind a Tauren Warrior and the Knife Juggler hit face twice then the runt got blessing of kings x2.
What decks are you finding to be problematic and what solutions are you looking at?
None yet. Beat a fellow DudePal, Murloc Pal, Jade Druid and both Warlocks I've played so far but they were Zoo. Suprised so many legit decks were still at these ranks a week in but gotta beat 'em some time. Also ran into 2 Murloc Shamans which seemed weird.
Is Nerubian Unraveler an acceptable replacement for Loatheb? I dusted him because I never really planned on playing wild (though I did keep my other wild Pally cards) and happen to have an Unraveler so was wondering.
On second thought, it probably isn't. Loatheb is probably to avoid stuff like Blizzard and Holy Nova where the Unraveler wouldn't suffice in those scenarios.
