No, that’s not a whelp, its denathrius.

Worse than guild trader. Sure, it’s one mana cheaper, but you can’t target face and it lacks tradeable. If it sees play it will be after stormwind rotates out.

Beast and mechs aren’t as helpful

Still if you can bump a key minion that should get you top 8.

 If you concede immediately after choosing the quest you should get top 8….

I’m thinking the strategy here is to go either naga or quillboars and get as many gold charlga/tidemistress as possible while making the minions you got on the way golden. Golden Bonker or shoal commander can do some work.

If you were vashj, you can just make a minion golden permanently each round. Like everyone notes, 30 cards is difficult, but what factions were in the game? Beast and mechs aren’t as helpful, but naga coin and spell generation counts and blood gem helps a lot too. Pirates have a free card in freedealing gambler and sellemental is a two for one net. If you aren’t focused on scaling a party or leveling your tavern tier, it can be done much quicker than you think. Anyway, did you win?

Beast hunter is in a difficult position. While it was S-tier a month ago, it was nerfed several times and the KFT cards are hostile towards it. Druids are everywhere and spreading plague shuts down wide boards while devourer is a liability to big minions. The result is beast hunter is mid to low tier 2 I would guess. If you are looking to climb, this is a great meta for combo. Phylactery warlock is consistent at turn 8 and can scam turn 6.

Jaina would be great if the hero power from Varden carried over, unfortunately just wildfire does. The dream of control mage with neptulon and geddon isn’t going to cut it.

Malfurion is great in ramp Druid. You never play him before guff, but he has a much better hero power once you’ve ramped up enough. Spreading plague is disgusting in ramp Druid, it’s the best deck right now.

The new event system looks suspiciously like the BG reward track. They will have a paid event track in the future, no doubt about it.

This is going to be so busted. Ashes of Outland is going to look like Rastakhans Rumble.

That is a lot for sale. A new expansion, with a new class, a new bundle, signature golden cards that can’t be crafted (pay with money not dust) and that’s not even including BG.

1000 runestones for the battle bash? Ten bucks is kind of expensive for a gacha pull.

I don’t know what is more ludicrous, that you didn’t know how Xyrella worked or someone is actually playing shellfish priest. The battlecry for xyrella has been known for three expansions now, especially with boar priest because shellfish never really took off. Renethal is a death sentence for shellfish priest. It was always fringe good during sunken city, but Renethal gives more life to deal with the 7/7 and 5 extra shellfish triggers. It’s just not going to be viable as long as renethal is still meta. What deck were you playing that could get 80 life and die to shellfish? We’re you playing jailer?

If it makes you feel any better, they probably lost a hundred games before beating you. You should also probably re-examine the deck that you’re playing if you lost to a rogue deck that has nothing better to shadowstep than denathrius.

Despite being minor thread necromancy, I’ll put my opinion in here. Nobody has mentioned a game from Suda 51, and he is inarguably the most macho manly designer around. His first game was an “extreme” pro wrestling game for the Super Nintendo, so he has decades of being manly. Some of my favorite and most macho games are:

No More Heroes: You play as Travis Touchdown, an aspiring assassin who has to kill the best assassins in the world; already manly. When you need to save your game, you find a bathroom and take a dump; super manly. This came out for the Wii, and your lightsaber would run out of charges. You would have to recharge it by shaking the controller like a faraday light and Travis would mimic the action… use your minds eye to visualize how that looks. Yep, omega manly.

Lollipop Chainsaw: You play as a female protagonist, so not off to a manly start. She is a zombie killer wielding a chainsaw and is an airhead cheerleader wearing a cheerleading uniform the entire game. She also had to cut her boyfriends head off when he was but by a zombie, and she carries it around her waist and can throw it as a weapon to the unyielding cue of jokes about giving head. This game is pure satire, but it does so through female objectification and over the top gore. Very manly.

Shadows of the Damned: You play a smooth Casanova playboy demon hunter named Garcia Hotspur who loves his girlfriend and caprese salad. She gets kidnapped by the lord of demons and dragged to the underworld and you have to save her. You are accompanied by your flaming skull sidekick named “Johnson” and he acts as a torch, a motorcycle (manly) and your gun. When he becomes your gun, Johnson transforms into the “boner”. After building enough kills, your boner can grow even larger to become the big boner. When Garcia uses this gun he shouts taste my big boner at the enemies. There has never been more dick jokes in a game and thus there has never been a more manly game.

Any of Suda 51’s games are manly and he is really one of the last true auteurs in video game development. He is right there with Hideo Kojima and Tim Schafer but far weirder.

If I see an obvious strategy like pirates, I buy every Eliza I find, because that’s one less I can potentially face.
