    At 6 mana, she's comparable to Shadow Essence or Possessed Lackey, which are not that terrible

    I'm honestly pretty excited to try her in my wild plot twist cubelock.  It already has all of the small shitty minions cut from it but maybe I'll have build her a new version that goes more in on the plot twist synergies to avoid pulling my cubes and N'zoth though.  The difference between her and Fel Lord Betrug or Dollmaster Dorian is that minions are getting taken directly out of your deck rather than just a copy.  She would have been so much better if the deathrattle worked something like The Boom Reaver's battlecry.  In any case, with her included, there'll be enough pulling effects to justify Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound and other bigger cards

    She seems like a natural fit in darkest-hourlock too

    Standard may have a lower power level, but on the contrary I don't think she'll see any play in standard mode until more cards are printed.  Not only do slow warlocks still need a lot of support to work, but there are not enough "big" cards in the pool for her to pull

    Nothing.  Your MMR just increased.  Concede a bunch and you'll be facing angry chickens again in no time

    Quote from EFHYDRALISK >>

    Hold up... People waste time farming gold in casual?  30 wins a day right? For a pack? So... 50 or so games on average to get this. How much is a pack? 2 bucks? Holy Hanna people! You can earn many many times that doing anything else productive. Go pump some gas or flip burgers kids. 

    Real "Gold farmers" are typically bots.  Most of the time it's probably just people enjoying/practicing/questing with a deck that happens to be meta and brings out all the salt from the opponents, however.  Just because control warrior and hand mage are tier 1 right now doesn't mean everyone is comfortable with doing their "play 60 warrior/mage cards" quest in ranked mode if they never played the deck before

    Archivist Elysiana is now literally buffed,it depends how you see it,experienced players know this,making it cost 9 opens a slot for an additional card at 8 mana plus it's a buff for odd warrior in wild

    I'm an experienced enough player to know Elysiana is completely irrelevant to odd warrior.  Games in wild don't go down to fatigue unless someone is multiplying coldlight oracles, which Elysiana doesn't beat.  When you queue an odd warrior game, either someone is conceding because their deck can't deal with your hero power or you're conceding because odd means you can't play skulking giest, unseen saboteur and deathlords are far inferior to dirty rats

    Also "opening a slot at 8 mana" means nothing to a control warrior.  It's not a curve deck and it doesn't care about tempo or playing cards on curve.  It doesn't matter if a card costs 8 or 9 or 10 or 2, as long as it has a relevant effect, control warrior is happy to run it.  Especially when we're talking about a card that we literally cannot play until we're out of cards or very close.  Control warriors aren't not running other 8 drops because Elysiana is occupying that slot on the curve; it doesn't run them because there's none that exist with effects that are relevant to the deck's game plan.  What are you going to do?  Run Grom so you can push face for 4?

    IMO, they jumped the gun on this nerf.  I get that they did it to stop Elysiana + Brewmaster turning tournaments into a 12h snoozefest (especially in specialist format) but she is actually on her way out of the meta even without Blizzard's "help" because of recent innovations.  If you want to bring warrior, the ideal lineup would be:
    • Anti rogue/aggro main deck with Azalina - The Azalina steals whatever win condition the opponent has in the mirror while not taking up too many card slots against rogue
    • Anti warrior secondary deck with Da Undatakah build of Mecha'thun - This beats Elysiana and is highly resilient vs combo disruption, which is probably what the opponent is queuing for game 2 and 3
    • Anti mage/Nomi tertiary with super colliders and bombs
    Quote from Angelo_CIA>>

    The warrior that goes 2nd can just save his coin in a mirror, play Elysiana and Brewmaster on same turn.

    Can you imagine if this actually became meta?  One could queue this mirror in a tournament, play an hour game and then lose to a literal coin flip.  I almost wish this is a thing so I could laugh at how badly Blizzard fucked up

    (Thankfully, there are better end game options, so it won't ever be)

    Bomb warrior is far worse since the rogue nerf.  Not only was it one of the best decks against rogue, but rogue itself was keeping the number of handmages down.  With rogues out and mages in, warrior is falling down at least a tier

    posted a message on May 22 Card Nerfs Are Live! Rogue + Archivist Elysiana Nerfed

    This might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually like it when they force the meta to change as often as possible.  It doesn't really matter to me what is the best deck when I get to enjoy a new one every month or so.  You're right about the endless complaining, of course :)

    posted a message on So...Crystology...

    IMO, this card was perfectly balanced at 2 mana and they should have given it more time to work before buffing.  The only reason it hasn't seen much play is because Call to Arms, which is similar but superior, existed for most of its lifetime.  For the remainder of the time, paladin as a class has been down in the dumps and this card has not had a chance to be played

    When Davos said Gray Worm "go to Reach and start your own house" was he mocking him, or just ignorant?; he seemed very serious about that

    The writers probably just forgot he was a eunuch or how eunuchs work.  I wouldn't put it past them after they forgot that the Ironborn have a democratic system to elect their leaders yet Yara thought Sam's proposal of creating democracy was hilarious

    What even are the DOthraki doing? Why would they follow him, why wouldn't they just go and pillage the countryside, it's not like anyone can stop them

    Technically Jon should be their new leader based on their own culture after he killed Dany.  All hail Khal Jon!  lol

    Wow officially worse than the Dexter finale? That was a real shit show too. I hope d&d get fired from Star Wars already lol

    HBO initially wanted full 10 episode seasons (maybe even more seasons altogether) but D&D said they can wrap it up fine in only 6.  That was an obvious lie so I can only assume they wanted to get this done fast so they can start making the big bucks doing Star Wars.  The irony of them getting removed from the project due to poor performance here would be true justice 

     The Sopranos ending was magnificent.

    I wouldn't know.  I didn't make it that far.  But I do remember it was considered highly controversial by a lot of fans.  Maybe that's a better word for it

    D&D :  We really hope this ending is like Breaking Bad where people were conflicted if it's an A or an A+

    They broke finale records, alright.  For reference, this is several stars worse than all the other infamously controversial finales like those of Lost, the Sopranos, How I met your Mother, True Blood, etc

    Can anyone explain why Drogon did not kill Jon in the finale? Is it because he is a Targaryen? Could it be because Drogon saw how crazy Dany was getting and agreed she would not be the right ruler?

    Well, Dany had a sword in her and there was a suspicious looking construct of swords nearby.  Obviously, Jon was completely innocent and it was the throne that did her in.  That's why Drogon took the time to murder it good /s

    Quote from Kla_guy >>

    Jon, Jon, Jon... Don't know, he might reluctantly accept the crown and un-happily reign over Westeros, or not. Personally, I would prefer the latter, some way or another.

    The awkward thing about Jon is that he would make a horrible ruler.  I don't understand why everyone is trying to prop him up as their king.  He's basically Ned Stark 2.0.  He's too honest for politics and his dying as commander of the night's watch in both the books and the show (for different reasons, even!) proves it.  Maybe with the Red Keep cleaned out with dragonfire he can hang in there a bit longer than Ned but his downfall would still be inevitable

    I can't believe Varys of all people died for him.  Varys, who could have busted Ned out as easily as he did with Tyrion but didn't because he was more useful where he was.  Varys, who backed Dany's brother for "the good of the realm", which in the books was complete BS and his way of dodging the question of who he's working for (himself)

    Imagine D&D actually makes Jon king next episode.  It'd be a bad ending but they were too dumb to notice lol

    I feel bad for the people who have been raised on such psychologically exploitative games that they can't play a game simply for fun anymore. They never learned how. It's not their fault.

    Has it occurred to you that maybe some people don't find the same things you do fun?  "Why don't you play fun decks?, "Why don't you play fun game modes?"  We do, it's just that we have different ideas of fun.  If a person finds this solo content not fun, then it is just not worth buying; end of discussion.  Maybe you never learned to consider other people's perspectives but that's not your fault

    Welcome back my dear friend! Long time no see!

    Thank you. I've been busy and without a computer. I have a tablet now, but I don't care to use this site on the tablet. Making a move to Maryland soon. Been working on a few things, including a Facebook page and a Youtube channel. Don't want to advertise that here too much, but here we are. Been working 16+ hours a day, 11 at my actual job and 5+ on my page, channel, and a number of other projects. I've been quite busy.

    Working a lot, I haven't had much time to be here, let alone play Hearthstone. Pro-tip: Don't ever get a device with less than 32 GB internal memory. I had to uninstall Hearthstone from my tablet because I only have about 4-6 GB of internal memory to do anything with the fucking thing. Not happy. I'd just play Hearthstone on this laptop, but it's not mine, and Hearthstone keeps crashing whenever I play it on this shit laptop. So... I can't play Hearthstone at all, at least for a month.

    If you have access to a laptop that isn't yours but also isn't shit, you can try what I did in collage, which is install HS and the launcher on a thumb drive

    Hope things are going well.  I suspected something along the lines of you getting picked up by blizzard to toil away for ridiculous hours when you seemingly fell off the face of the earth
