RavenSunHP posted a message on Luck in arenaPosted in: The ArenaWell, the real turning point was equality+consecration: from there you lost initiative, and it's hard to get it back.
Also consider that your opponent knows his own deck, and all those burst cards are built upon each other, purposedly, not randomly.
A bit of card draw rng is obviously there, but he chose Sprint exactly to empower his card draw for combo potential.
I mean, if you look from your opponent's perspective, you will realise that this was part of his strategy.
Tl;dr: looks like normal Arena sh1t happenz to me.

elkratzo posted a message on Opening packs change on mobilePosted in: General Discussionhow can anyone support this way of opening packs? seems like blizzard would like to show you shitty packs directly (only a blue glow anywhere). it‘s like they would take any hope for an epic or legendary at the moment you open the pack. yes, you can see your good cards also... but i likes the way it was. why did they change this?!

Apoc7 posted a message on Sheep+Ghoul CTRL Hunter(Amazing board clears)Posted in: Sheep+Ghoul CTRL Hunter(Amazing board clears)Hope you're having fun with reno hunter! It's my fave deck, I've had so many iterations of it, as you can see in my revised history. Maybe instead of revising the deck, I should separate all my different iterations of reno hunter lol. FYI, explosive sheep works great with zilliax since all the dmg from the sheep heals you. You can also connect them with toxic arrow or a venomizer for another board wipe.
Also, I advise you to take out Skitterer since the only reason I included it was because of ashmore (needed one more rush card). This card is not that bad, but its not good enough to include without some other benefit. Also please take out cult master, he is REALLY bad for control or heavy midrange type decks. Since you don't have many cheap minions it's hard to get card draw from him. I play many iterations with the curator package instead with Primordial drake and Emeriss. But you can include another dragon like Azure drake if you don't have Emeriss.
I like that you added Thaddius package, it wins you games much easier than Sneed's Old Shredder. I had that package in my previous builds, but I'm playing a list with thaddius atm that includes Emeriss and N'zoth lol. It's a bit greedy but it's for when I see too much greedy decks on ladder.

parishbishop posted a message on Cheese's Exodia PaladinPosted in: Cheese's Exodia PaladinAlmost always, you need to have 3 Horseriders in hand, then play the OTK. Its not the easiest combo to pull off for sure. Thijs's version used Ancient Brewmaster instead of the Youthful ones. So you play 1, bounce it to your hand, repeat, Zola a copy, then on the 4th turn, you play the Horseriders from hand first, then tap you Hero Power for the OTK. He also has Blackwald Pixie for the double Hero Power which sometimes help alot!! ### *Sept Thijs OTK

Motions posted a message on [63.2% WR] Legend Clone Priest - Blizzard Off-Meta Deck SpotlightPosted in: [63.2% WR] Legend Clone Priest - Blizzard Off-Meta Deck SpotlightI only managed to play 5 games with this deck just yet so I can't say much on how well it does really.
Won 4 out of 5 games, played at rank 5.I have made a few adjustments to this deck.
I have taken out both Power Word: Shield for +1 Vivid Nightmare and +1 Obsidian Statue.
Especially Obsidian Statue worked wonders.I was surprised by how important Gilded Gargoyle was for this deck.
Getting 5 coins in 1 game was happening regularly, which activated Lesser Diamond Spellstone and helped playing combo's extremely well.
Being able to play Zerek's Cloning Gallery + 2x Mind Blast with the extra coins is very fun to do.edit: played about 40 games now and climbed from rank 5 - 0 stars to rank 3 - 2 stars.
This deck performs incredibly well against most other decks. The only class I have real problems with is hunter. Funny enough I barely encouterd healzoo... -

Dr_Scaphandre posted a message on Activision-Blizzard has gone too far with the Mega BundlePosted in: General DiscussionThey’re gonna milk this game as much as possible until Artifact and Gwent 1.0 comes out aren’t they? It was bad enough that they were charging $50 to preorder loot boxes, but now there’s a second preorder option, the Mega Bundle.
For those who don’t know, the regular preorder bundle is $50, and comes with 50 cardpacks, the Mecha-Jaraxxus cardback, and a free golden legendary card.
Now the Mega Bundle on the other hand is $80! What do you get for 80? You still get the cardback and golden legendary, but instead of 50 cardpacks you get 80, as well as an alternate Warlock hero portrait: Mecha-Jaraxxus.
That’s it. That’s all you get. For $30 more dollars you get a few more glorified loot boxes and a skin. $80 for a hero portrait, and it’s one that the majority of people will want too. This is beyond ridiculous. For two years they have been offering hero portraits for free where we had to do something to get them, like play WoW, or go to a Fireside Gathering, or beat Frozen Throne. They were all great. But now, they’ve locked a skin of a very popular character behind a $80 preorder paywall, that once the expansion launches you can’t get it anymore. They also said there are no plans to rerelease Mecha-Jaraxxus, so anyone who wanted to get that skin are out of luck.
I cannot fathom how ludicrous this is. $80 and all they’re offering is a skin, a skin that is highly popular. I know why they did it too, because they know people love Jaraxxus so they made him an expensive preorder bonus.
I beg you, do not buy this Mega Bundle. Vote with your wallet. Show ActiBlizz this is too far and horribly anti-consumer.
EDIT
So there's been a lot of the same comments in this thread just boggle my mind. There are people actually defending this awful bundle. So I'm gonna address every frequent comment that I've been seeing.
- It's a good deal! 80 packs for $80!
First of all, it's asinine to even preorder loot boxes to begin with, but on face value, $80 for 80 packs does sound good when usually the preorders are 50 packs for $50. However, all that became null and void when the Witchwood came out. Witchwood's preorder wasn't the usual 50 packs for $50, it was 70 packs! The moment they did that bundle, a bundle a lot of people loved might I add, it makes the other preorder bundles look like shit in comparison.
Not only that, but $80 for what is ultimately a preorder for loot boxes is absurd. You know what could be done with $80? You could get a shitload of Steam games, games that are not on sale, right now, and still have money left over. You could get two $40 Nintendo Switch games. Ultimately, $80 for 80 packs is pretty crazy. 100 packs or more would've been better, or maybe include some more Golden Legendaries. Speaking of...
- But you get a Golden Legendary in the Mega Bundle, which becomes any Legendary you want!
You also get one in the normal $50 preorder as well, making that part of the bundle ultimately irrelevant.
- The hero portrait is ugly anyway!
Okay, what does that have to do with it? That's pretty subjective.
- You're not entitled to the hero portrait anyway!
Ah yes, the classic "entitled" argument. The ultimate strawman of any shill when they can't think of any else to say.
- Who cares? It's just cosmetic
Then why do Casinowatch loot boxes sell like hotcakes? Why did people make a big deal about Nemsy? Guess it's not "just cosmetic" or else people wouldn't give a shit about them. Cosmetics are fun, they let people look differently, and that's why people like them. But besides, that, is for the past two years we were getting this shit for free. When the $10 hero portraits weren't selling, Actiblizz gave them out for free instead as rewards, and people really liked that. Now we have a hero portrait that is locked behind a limited time $80 preorder paywall, so once the preorder is gone that hero portrait cannot be earned anymore. They know people really want Mecha-Jaraxxus since Jaraxxus is one of the most popular Hearthstone characters, and people want Warlock portraits, so they made him a preorder incentive. GET HIM BEFORE HE'S GONE FOREVER!
The argument ultimately is more about the fact the hero portrait is locked to the $80 preorder. I could make the argument all day that it's a waste to preorder loot boxes and how the Mega Bundle is not so Mega, but the fact of the matter is a hero portrait is locked behind a steep preorder paywall. Why is that a big deal? Because we've been getting them for free for the past two years, and if people buy this (Which most likely they will judging from the comments I'm seeing here and on Reddit) then ActiBlizz will start doing more of these "Mega Bundles." Hero portraits will become locked to preorders and we won't get them for free anymore, for these bundles will make so much money, and because people didn't stop and say "no."
EDIT 2
Here we go again...
- But you can buy both the Mega Bundle and regular preorder and get TWO Golden Legendaries!
...do you even understand how absurd your comment is? You’re spending $130 to preorder loot boxes twice. What the fuck is wrong with you?
- OP stop bitching and get a job! Who can’t afford $80?
Money is not an issue I assure you. It’s not about who has the money to buy the bundle. It’s about a sense of worth. Myself and many others personally don’t find the Mega Bundle worth $80, especially since they’re locking a hero portrait to it when we used to get them for free.
- Well I’m gonna buy it anyway
And these were the comments I were looking for. The comments who support the toxicity of preorder culture without giving it a second thought, then bitch when they get terrible legendaries. These are the true Blizzshills, the ones who are loyal to the brand and will defend it tooth and nail. And the funny thing is they’re paying to be shills, trying to make their ludicrous investment worth it. I suggest you watch this video by the late Totalbiscuit on why preordering (even if it offers a slightly better deal) is always a terrible idea.
EDIT 3
Wow. This has been the most divisive thread I have ever made here. There’s a shitload of toxic comments (some by me I’ll admit) but a lot of positive ones as well. Thanks guys for all the replies.
Now a lot of people have been still calling me “entitled” or saying it’s a good deal, or don’t understand what the problem is. So I’m gonna post some tl;dr bullet points at the bottom. But first, I wanna address all those who call me entitled.
First of all, I have never preordered. Never. Not for video games, and definitely not for cardpacks. I have always been against preordering, even if you get more packs. Ultimately face value, you don’t get much from preordering. What do you get? 10 more packs? That may seem like a good deal, but let’s be honest it’s highly unlikely you won’t get anything good in those ten extra packs anyway, because again, you’re preordering loot boxes. Same thing with the Mega Bundle, it’s literally just the regular preorder but more expensive. “But you get a golden legendary!” Like I said, you get one in the regular preorder as well. $80 just for one golden legendary when the $50 bundle gives you the same thing is pretty cheap don’t you think? Like, they couldn’t give you three golden legendaries instead for paying $80?
But besides the fact the Mega Bundle is just an overglorified version of the regular bundle, the main issue ultimately is the fact a new hero portrait is locked to the limited time $80 bundle. Hero portraits for two years have been free rewards, and now suddenly one has gone back to being paid, and it’s a steep paywall no less for they know people want Mecha-Jaraxxus. People say it’s just cosmetic, but the thing is those cosmetics used to be free, and now we got one that isn’t and is most likely not gonna return. (And if it does, it’ll most likely be exclusive for China just like Khadgar.)
Look, I may not be able to change your mind about preordering (because it’s a terrible business practice and always has been.) But at the very least I wanna tell you the Mega Bundle isn’t worth it, mainly because we have a hero locked to it. What if we don’t get free heroes as much anymore as they start charging for heroes again in these big bundles? We got free heroes because we told Blizzard charging $10 for heroes was too much and we didn’t buy them, so now they’re trying to tie them in with expensive preorders instead, making them appear as a bonus when it’s just extortion. That’s why this is a big deal. That’s why we need to say no and not buy the Mega Bundle. We’re the only ones who can make Blizzard stop by voting with our wallets.
tl;dr
- A new hero portrait is locked to a limited time $80 preorder when we used to get heroes for free
- If people buy this bundle it would give ActiBlizz incentive to do more and tie more heroes to them.
I TOLD YOU SO!
“Hallow’s End also marks the arrival of a friendly new Paladin Hero who will be available for purchase as a part of a special deal!”

CaptainJaeger posted a message on Odd Rogue what are the best performing 3 and 5 drops?Posted in: Roguethe list I got legend with this season:
S53 Legend Odd Rogue Deck by CaptainJaeger - Aug 24, 2018Minion (26) - 1x Baku the Mooneater
- 1x Captain Greenskin
- 1x Leeroy Jenkins
- 2x Blood Knight
- 2x Vilespine Slayer
- 2x Void Ripper
- 2x Giggling Inventor
- 2x SI:7 Agent
- 2x Vicious Fledgling
- 2x Southsea Deckhand
- 2x Argent Squire
- 2x Dire Mole
- 1x Fire Fly
- 2x Fungalmancer
- 2x Hench-Clan Thug
Ability (4) - 2x Cold Blood
- 2x Deadly Poison
Loading Collection 2x Blood Knight , I consider this tech to be almost core as long as Giggling Inventor is used in 40% of the decks.
2x Void Ripper is also important as it deals with a number of things in the current meta, plus it often enables some efficient trades and rarely some shenanigans to find lethal.Id say the weakest card in the deck is Captain Greenskin, I might swap it for Myra's Unstable Element at some point

I know how you feel. It‘s really hard nowadays to experience games as what they are or at least as what they should be: simply for having fun. I often catch myself just playing games on ps4 or pc for unlocking „achievements“. That can be quite fun too, like Bloodborne. The satisfaction of getting platinum there was just awesome simply because I love the game. But other games are rather meh...but still the platinum trophy kind of easy to get maybe and it would look nice in your stats.
I even avoided Nintendo some time simply because there‘s no trophy system included...a mistake as I found out some months ago when I picked up a Switch. Zelda Breath of the wild or Mario Odyssey are the perfect examples for simply not needing this kind of stuff and it‘s really just about the Game. Nintendo made me feel again like before this whole Ego/show off - stuff sneaked into our games.
This opened my eyes a bit and I therefore don‘t give much about this stuff anymore.
I missed out many cardbacks and Khadgar too but I stopped bothering about it.

I‘ll pass this time too...it‘s really just insulting

I don't have Shaku but I replaced him with Lotus Assassin. Worked pretty well so far.
Love this deck! Thank's for sharing :)

I crafted Mal'Ganis a couple of days ago after I saw this awesome deck since he was the only missing one.
Pure fun ... and as Borat says "Great success!!".
Thanks for the inspiration. I think I'll get my ladder climb going with this, first time wild.
:D

OK, I give up. :(
At least I made it to rank2 this month. I think that's some great progress if you consider that 10 was my best Up to now. :) I'll keep trying. Looking forward to your guide.

Almost at rank 5 :)
Genzo is just sick if you play him turn 2 with innervate.

I don't think there is any better deck to play Genzo, the Shark
This deck is awesome :D I think I'm gonna go for legend this time too ... even if 10 was my best up to now.
I salute you, Sir!
