I can't wait to see people's reaction when they remove a card from their opponent's deck that is of no import and then actually helps them draw into a card that can turn the game around. 

This is potentially worse than River Crocolisk. 

Edited: As if River Crocodile is a card....

 I don't think the people who think this card is good would understand what happened in that situation lol.

This whole thread just goes to show that how people still have no idea about a very basic idea that must be answered in every game: Who's the beatdown. 

I suggest everyone to go read this article and this extended read to understand some basic principle before any meaningful discussions can be made. 

Why do you always seem to be angry when posting? What's going on my dear Maximus? Are you not entertained? Relax, your friend Commodus is here. :)

It's one of the most balanced mechanics in Hearthstone. You should know that Archmage Antonidas is one of the mid-range mage win condition. When mage is stalling the game, you should expect that it will push burst damage combo at some point.

If you play a faster deck, then you should be more aggresive, because time is not on your side. When you are playing a control deck in a correct way, then you will have resources to deal with Antonidas right after it's dropped, and surviving two or three turns of fireballs won't be hard, or you will defeat your enemy earlier.

I've lost many games to Antonidas mage, but I've never complain. Other player was just better in using it's resources. I've also liked to play Antonidas in a mage, because it's not an easy win condition. You must work whole game to get to turn 9-10 and get immediate value from Antonidas, since he will be killed instantly.

What's with the 39+% of meta-defining poll?

Anyway, I don't see why people should feel bad about being milled a card. It is a fundamental concept that a card milled is just the same as a card on the bottom you will never draw. Of course if your deck is like Exodia mage then that may have been a bit different, but overall I don't see why people should be upset. 

And.... who would really use this card, like, for real?

The good'o Preparation into The Coin play.

I mean... this has to mean I can now cast a 4 mana spell, right? RIGHT?

This card actually helps quest mage quite a bit, all you have to do is use this to copy apprentice BEFORE you actually go for the combo, meaning you dont need to go through your entire deck to get all the combo pieces, you can copy the apprentices to make it faster and more consistent.

 

 I don't see how this would make it faster, you still have two draw two apprentices, antonidas, and two of this/ molten reflection. Sure you can start preparing for the combo using your extra mana in the turns before (assuming you don't have doomsayers/arcanologists) but you still need to draw the same amount of cards

With this card you only need to draw 4 of your 5 combo pieces (and complete the quest obviously).

You need either: 1x apprentice, 2x Molten Reflection and Antonio. Copy the one apprentice BEFORE THE COMBO TURN, then pull off the combo as usual (play 2 apprentice, cast MR for 2 mana, then 2nd MR for 1 mana plus time warp for 1 mana = 8 mana)

Or: 2x apprentices, 1x Molten Reflection and Antonio. Copy an apprentice BEFORE THE COMBO TURN, then play all three apprentices and use molten reflection for 1 mana plus time warp for 1 mana = 8 mana)

Simulacrum acts as a 3rd apprentice, thats how it helps the quest. If you're desperate you can even use it to copy a doomsayer for more stalling if needed, this card was custom made for quest mage really. Only needs careful setup, but thats what makes it fun.

Hm... "Thank you" is now a BM?

Maybe I have really been away for too long, but I usually say "Thank you" no matter if I win or lose the game. It is simply a replacement for the handshake after card games IRL. 

Perhaps I should stop doing this or something?

Just no.

I kinda lost interesting in the game waiting for this Standard mode they've been hyping for a while. And the more time I have thinking, the more skeptical I am towards the results. I've pre-ordered every single expansions/adventures, but not this time. I will see how standard plays out, and decide if I will be making a purchase. 

FYI. I stopped playing Hearthstone for now. Gotta save New York City!

Are my top contender in this place. They all were our last protection against aggro, now we have to pray to survive to get reno jackson in turn 6 (if we even survive until then).

I know this board is full of legend players but today I got to Rank 5 for the first time! 

I've been playing Hearthstone for 4 months, and it took me 759 wins to hit the top %2 of all players.

For you pros out there, how many wins did you earn before hitting legend rank?!

Limited formats is fine for tournaments, though, as challengestone and the brawls showed, you have to be VERY careful in order to make them interesting.  But as far as regular format goes.. no.  We're YEARS from even considering it and there's no guarantee we'll benefit from it after that point.  

Power creep, same old decks, alienating new players and no tournament innovation say hi. We are not years away. Only your perception of the issue is. 

Cutting the card pool HELPS new players. The way HS is set up, you basically can't rotate classic or basic cards out. But old adventures and expansions? Yes Please. New players can focus on getting the new stuff and they should be fine. Card availability isn't the only reason formats ARE necessary. Just read this tread.
