A perfectly balanced game is not as good as people want to believe, it gets boring really quickly.

Wellos posted a message on New Warlock Cards Revealed - Throne of Tides CardsPosted in: NewsReno costs 6 and Lightforged Cariel costs 7. Even if you play this on curve at 4 mana, your opponent has time to play the above cards on curve before they burn. Immolate is even worse the later you play it because your opponent has more mana to play the cards that matter. This card gives your opponent too much agency in how they choose to play around it and doesn’t pressure their board or life total.

Wellos posted a message on New Warlock Cards Revealed - Throne of Tides CardsPosted in: NewsImmolate is terrible. Paying 4 mana to do nothing on board and incentivize one’s opponent to play cards is unplayable in all but the most extreme matchups. Modern Hearthstone sees decks constantly drawing and generating extra cards anyways. That or you are dead by turn 6. Playing this is basically hitting the concede button.

Banur posted a message on Why wasn’t Mech Mage nerfed?Posted in: General DiscussionQuote from T1meToDuel >>Man don't start with "the data..." because there is no data about how annoying playing against a deck or a particular card is. I remember Tickatus didn't have a good winrate, but he was among the most hated cards with good reason.
Data is reason, "no fun to play against" is feelings. Yes, feelings can be polarizing when people see only one side (which is often the case when they lose and not when they crush mediocre decks with niche win conditions).
Yes, different decks have different strategies and thus you need to adapt the play style of your deck to the match up. With Mech Mage you know what their plan is and can plan around that.
Yes, there are also rare Trolden moments where the stars align and they have the perfect hand, draw the right cards and then omegacrush you and there is nothing you could have done- Those are rare and your own deck probably has something like that as well. Just that you are playing the deck and due to the rare nature will - surprise - rarely see them.
You will also rarely see them from your opponent but with the way our monkey brains work, you will remember those because remembering bad or dangerous moments help us avoid them in the future. Just that our monkey brain has some trouble discerning between a lion trying to chew on our butt and a children's card game. -

xskarma posted a message on Grandmasters 2022 Season 1 - Playoffs - Results & Decklists!Posted in: NewsJarla is just such an admirable player, and not just for his in-game play.
You can always count on him to have a read on the meta, and to bring decks that counter it, but with a decidedly personal twist ( Crossroads Watch Post anyone?). On top of that his play is always calculated and precise.
And all of this, plus his tendency to take all of his time until the final rope burnout to play his turns might give the impression that's he's a tryhard with no sense of humor.
But check this:
Gaby, from the start of the 2022 Grandmasters Season 1 has used this picture as his go-to image on the official website, obviously meant as a total joke:
So what does Jarla do, I believe starting this week? In the biggest week of the Grandmasters year so far, with EVERYTHING on the line?
He changes his usual graphic on the official site to this:
So, not only is Jarla the much deserved Europe representative at the World Champions later this year, he also has a great sense of humor. Kudos to him. :D -
