Mana Bind

This card will yell "Medic!" if killed, which may be a reference to the Medic class in Team Fortress 2. I know this because I had a Faceless Summoner pull her recently in Wild. (I have never actually played TF2, but I know that Medic is the only true healing class in that game, thus, if someone needs healing, they yell "Medic!")

I've been playing a very RNG-heavy mage in Wild today and having fun while getting closer to 500 wins. I am currently sitting at 479, but my favorite story resulted from a loss against a somewhat aggressive Mechit  Paladin. I had been waiting for an excuse to make a similar deck, so I did just that, but I played three or so more matches with the mage deck, then queued up with my new Paladin deck. 

"Sir Annoy-O versus Valeera!" is heard by me, followed swiftly by "None will survive!" I'm thinking, "This is the best deck in Wild, so let's see if I can defeat it." 

Turn 1: I coin out Mechwarper with the intention of playing Shielded Minibot next turn.

Turn 2: I topdecked Glow-Tron, connect it to Mechwarper, and play Shielded Minibot as planned.

Turn 3: The rogue had killed Mechwarper with a little help from Southsea Deckhand, so I just play my hero power with the intention of playing either Piloted Shredder or Annoy-o-Module next turn depending on the state of my Shielded Minibot at that point. 

Well, the rogue plays a newly drawn Vicious Fledgeling and removes the shield from Shielded Minibot with his dagger, making Annoy-o-Module the obvious play. On my turn, I connect the two together and kill the "flappy bird," at which point the rogue immediately concedes.

That made my day.

These flavor texts are awesome. Especially Hir'eek's, but also Hakkar and Griftah's. Mass Hysteria's is actually true in the real world if you ask me.

In my current paladin run, I accidentally picked Kangor's Endless Army early in the draft. (Other choices were Harbinger Celestia and Azalina Soulthief. I meant to pick Soulthief.) The rest of the draft ended up quite nicely, (no magnetic stuff, though.) but I soon found myself in a high speed chase with the 0-3 police. Thankfully, at 0-2, two moronic warriors evened things out. I thought the first one was just badly inexperienced, but the second one (at 1-2) was a whole other level when it came to bad decisions. He had played Tanglefur Mystic earlier, and I had a big board of somewhat small minions by turn 7/8. Then, he dropped what had come out of his Tanglefur Mystic, and it was Millhouse Manastorm. Since I didn't have any spells other than Kangor's Endless Army in my hand, I was thinking "meh." Then, I topdecked Witch's Cauldron, and suddenly things were very tilted in my favor. I end up with an Unstable Evolution, and the end result is screenshotted below. The warrior instantly conceded after that.

I made a Reno/Keleseth Mage this morning for fun, and in my most recent win versus a Rank 24 Wild Priest, Babbling Book must have wanted me to win by a landslide, so he gave me Luna's Pocket Galaxy when I played him alongside my hero power on turn 3. When it was turn 7, the priest had only a 1/3 on his board, so I went ahead and played the meme-ish card. Next turn, Ysera pops out of my deck. (Unfortunately, she only procced once because Keleseth had been played and the priest had Shadow Word: Death in hand.) Since Ysera cost only 1 mana, I was able to play Ethereal Conjurer and pick up an extra copy of Explosive Runes. I later used Ysera Awakens to clear the priest's board, and then played Reno Jackson for safety measures, as that had put me down to 10 health and within range of two Mind Blasts. Then, Emperor Thaurissan was played by me two turns before the priest's demise, allowing my Pyroblast to go down to 8 mana over the course of two turns. The priest attempted to play a taunt minion with 6 health, but Emperor Thaurissan killed it with the help of Keleseth's deck buff, and Reno Jackson, a Jeweked Scarab from my Piloted Shredder's sacrifice via Ysera Awakens, my hero power, and the aforementioned Pyroblast dealt an exactly lethal 16 damage altogether. (I should mention that Reno Jackson was drawn before Keleseth, and thus stayed at 4 attack.)

I love it when Babbling Book makes things easier for me.

When your Shallow Gravedigger gives you Rin in your Hunter/Mage run versus a Priest/Druid...and the game lasts until Azari shows up...

Bought the new welcome bundle last night. Malygos was the dragon. Then I opened 2 Gladiator's Longbows, (had 1 already) a golden Beast, Lorewalker Cho, and two other epics. I'm happy with that, even though the legendaries aren't that great. I currently have The Beast in my homebrew Emeriss Hunter, and I'm having fun with that. Golden Beast pack is below. (I forgot to take one for Lorewalker Cho.)

This made me laugh, even though it was more of a salt moment: I was trying to eat dinner and play Hearthstone on my tablet at the same time, and I was playing the Big Spell Mage recipe from Whizbang. I played Doomsayer against a hunter around Turn 7, and he played Boomaster Flark with me at 13 health. Then, as my turn began, my tablet crashed (It's a couple of years old lol.) I wouldn't have been dead immediately, but it probably wasn't going to be a win for me either. Also, I like the other mage recipe, and I call it "Little Spell Mage."

It seems to turn out that acquiring Doom Pact from your Lich King is really nice when you're trying out Mecha'thun Warlock and you get everything ready early. I barely beat a Shudderwock Shaman due to a single proc from my Lich King. Six cards were destroyed, but I already had Bloodbloom, Catacylsm, two Galvanizer reductions, and Mecha'thun in hand, so I was able to kill him several scary turns later without a single Shudderwock played from my opponent.

Shudderwock: What's taking so long?

Me: It's high noon, Mecha'thun. (Excuse the McCree reference; I like how it rhymes.)

Fun fact: If you play this with the new Mecha-Jaraxxus hero from the Boomsday preorder, he will yell "DARKNESS DELETED!" out of nowhere. I couldn't stop laughing about that the first time it happened to me.

Sorry to post twice in a row. I just had to share this moment from my warlock arena on my main account. My Jaraxxus was from Dark Possession; and my rogue opponent got his from Hallucination. He played his first, and I was thinking I could win in a Jaraxxus mirror quite quickly with my board plus Doomguard in hand. I was correct.

I had a Mage arena draft on my other account with a Witch's Cauldron, a Knife Juggler, plus three Frostbolts and a few tauntosses to protect those two. ("Tauntoss" is my term for a minion that either is a Taunt minion or generates them; Ghastly Conjurer is an example of the latter from my deck.)

I faced a paladin with the legend card back and a very good draft at 0-0. Needless to say I lost that one.

I did kill a druid with Lightning Bolt for the first win at 0-1, mainly because said druid kept Witch's Cauldron alive the entire match due to tauntosses getting in his way and/or just ignorance for the laughs. The second win was a close one against Warrior, in which Raid Leader and a board of mediocre minions such as Murloc Tidehunter and Spellshifter eventually finished him off with me being fresh into fatigue and him having 1-2 cards left, bringing me to 2-1. Then a hunter with 2 Explosive Shots, at least one Arcane Shot, and I forget what else prevailed against me, incurring my second loss.

I was listening to music on shuffle during all of this, and just as I was about to enter my next match, Cemetery Gates by Pantera starts playing, and I'm thinking "That's probably not a good sign." Then, a paladin appears and proceeds to wreck me from the start, with Silver Sword being involved towards the end, all while Cemetery Gates is playing. If I ever stream, I will likely remove that song from my playlist for the reason of what happened today.

Tess and Toki are tied for my favorite. Shaw is somewhat in the middle. I do not like Darius as much because I make a lot of mistakes with him, especially on my phone.

You must be very lucky then. Warlock's one of my last 3 unfinished. (others are Mage and Priest.)
