I've only been playing a couple of weeks on the beta but the warrior pyro deck has quickly become my favorite. I love all the combos you can run off of this. Using armorsmith (for massive amounts of armor) or jacking up the attack on a frothing bezerker while you clear the board is awesome. RoninHS did a couple of videos on how to play/construct this deck. I've had pretty good success with it so far, albeit not at the highest competition levels. Enjoy.

Just a quick question on how damage works. If an Acolyte of Pain has one health and Commanding Shout is played, does the Acolyte's ability trigger if he receives any damage or is it negated since he can't go below one? In other word, is incoming damage still considered damage? Thanks

Hey Everyone,

I'm afraid that I'm late to the party (for what looks like an awesome game) so I apologize if this has already been asked and answered. Is there a difference between spells and abilities? Everything I've read seems to lump them together but intuitively it seems wrong for something like Fan of Knives to receive a bonus from one of the many cards that provide +spellpower, or for Mana Addict's text to trigger from a Backstab. If there is a difference between the two, is there an easy way to tell which cards qualify as a spell and which as an ability?

On a side note, I've read that Knife Juggler's text is being changed to trigger whenever a minion is summoned. Does that mean Knife Juggler will do 2 damage on cards that have a Battlecry that summons another minion (i.e. Murloc Tidehunter)? Thanks for any clarification.
