Playing as a milkshake priest is one of the most fun things to do in hearthstone, even if the deck isn't great, win % wise. I think this mainly becasue you know you are essentially trolling your opponent.
turn 1 Mind Vision "Thankyou"
turn 2/3 Thoughtsteal "Thankyou"
turn 4 Shadow Madness/Mind Games their Dr boom "Thankyou"
turn 5/6 Entomb/Cabal Priest "Thankyou"
...and so on until turn 10 and you unlock Mind Control "Thankyou"
You did not put a lot of thinking, indeed, otherwise you would have understand that saying "Well played" to a guy that just crushed you playing fuckret paladin is highly ironical.
This really does show up who the asshats are...why assume you speak for everyone? I 'well played' just before the killing blow for either player for 90% of matches, doesn't matter if it's face hunter, druid combo or secret paladin. If I don't is because they've been a BMing dick at some point during game. To me it's just 'GG'.
I'll still complain about needed nerfs on forums like this but I see to reason to be an ass while playing to anyone.
Agreed, the balance on this card is terrible, there's no risk to playing it in a control, unlike just aboute very other tech choice, it's the only reason dr boom seemed so over powered and essentially removes every other 7 or great attack minion from the meta, which means half the cool legendaries.
I think that the general toxicity levels of the internet have increased ten-fold over the last few years. More people online - more people who've never heard the saying "Opinions are like assholes...". (Anti-)Social media is somewhat to blame.
As someone said above Hearthstone is very much a 'cater-for-all' type game, low barrier for entry. This means you get many more players who are less invested in the game than they might be, and a very large playerbase in general. Games with smaller communities tend to be far more 'cuddly'...try playing some obscure, or old MMORPG, even the competitive ones, the community will bend over backwards to welcome and encourage new players, rather than belittle them. Compare that to the blizzard behemoth WoW.
There's also the MOBA effect in general and what that genre has done to the mentality of the average PC gamer. Sadly it has carried over to other genres to some extent :(
Althought I do agree with most of your arguments there was one thing that I was not happy with in the slightest. Thats is: "opinions are like assholes" If I interpreted this correctly this would mean that you shouldn't have opinions. Please say me I was wrong, because if i am not I really am sad that people still think this in this age and time.. [Don't want to go in on this cuz i might get a little emotional if i do :D]
Ah, I was referencing the saying "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has them and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks but their own". This does not mean you shouldn't have opinions, but you should allow people to have opininos that differ from your own without flipping out or putting them down, essentially.

You are really hang up on the social issue here. I really do not think the girl that trash talked you was a racist or sexist or whatever, just really salty, and used some fairly standard curse words. This things happen all the time in online games and in hearthstone it is fairly easy to avoid it.
If you want to add someone that send you a friend request after you beat her just wait 5-10 min, she will be calm by then and you will avoid the salt, probably.
What happened to the old sayings about bones and stones and words?
Come on man, they aren't standard insults and curses at all. I get salty all the time, it doesn't turn me into a rascist. This guy deserves a ban.
Druid's crying about the combo not being broken are fighting a loosing battle (lol at 21 upvotes for the first reply), it will be nerfed, no doubt about it, and it is broken.
Your arguments fail because they are perspectivistic as hell. With a Master in Philosophy of Science and Political Science you do not want to debate philosophy, logic and fallacies with me. I will leave it at that.
Oh please You Almighty Indisputable Lord of Logic!, don't smite me with your superior reasoning!! // Perspectivism is just Nietzsche's personal label for relativism; relativism is a personal interpretation of data; any interpretation made by any sentient being is just as legitimate and qualified and any one else's; so your interpretation is just as legit as mine; except I'm having more fun from ridiculing you than you're getting by reiterating your null, tautological BS over and over again.
I use a copy of it my reno rogue deck, long games, it usually works out. As a counter to reno? Well I tend to loose to other reno decks still :( Pretty good against most everything else though.
What's wrong with BGH? BGH became popular because of Dr.Balance and he is out now.
I'm missing something?
The only reason it required Dr. Boom to make BGH so popular was because even the existance of BGH is enough to essentially remove almost every 7+ attack minion from the game. Therefor you don't need to bring BGH, cause very few plays what he can kill simply because he is so good.
Dr. Boom is ok even when opponent has BGH. That's why Boom is played. and that is why BGH is played.
If BGH was balanced in a more fair way, causing less swing; big minions might become more common seeing as they won't auto lose the game on the spot, and in turn BGH would also become more common, since more targets will present themselves.
Those saying "i've got the fun in my sights" doesn't need a nerf, care to counter this point?
I mean, right now, I don't beleive there is a card in the game that needs nerfing more than him. Not savage roar, not dr boom, not mad scientist...

Definitely right about tundra rhino and master of disguise. Hope you are right about knife juggler and savage roar. As for the rest I'm not so sure.

What is with the weird aggressive downvoting of comments here? Multiple account creator? And you stole the deck anyway.

Tilt, leading to more poor play.
