i wouldnt craft her for this specific reason, but if i had her from pack i might as well try her out this way sure. but small problem is, when u play ramp druid u already have so many minions u want to squeeze into the deck and u cant and most of them will help u more then Onyxia (belchers, sunwalkers, ancients war/lore, tbk, sylvana, loatheb/harison, centarius, rag, ysera, faceless even keltuzad etc etc) i mean yeah put onyxia there, but compared to other minions she is basicly win more card at best cause if u are at a stage of game where u play onyxia and she and most of whelps will survive u would probably win anyway but all cards above can pretty much swing game in your favour quite heavily. im not sayin onyxia wouldnt be fun if combo was pulled off but from competitive perspective u can see why no deck runs her ;-)

Agreed, had to put a light on to read it, no joke :(

well i just mark the text with my mouse so it is on red background now (as u can see in first two rows on screenshot), but i doubt they intended for this thing to look like this when they updated it :)

i think u should look at this one more time guys :p white font on white-ish background not so good ;-)

Priest player's hate mirror matches :D

so very true! it comes to the thoughtsteals if u can manage to steal one more class card over your opponent and who has one more mindcontrol :D well not so much post naxx but still thoughtsteals are pretty much gamechanger in mirror more then anything :)

I think the best moment I've had that probably wasn't so great for my opponent, was when I played a Deathlord and he killed it four turns later to bring out a Stonetusk Boar. I kind of felt bad for the guy. At least it was able to attack the same turn, right?

deathlord is rly funny card ... iv had T4 rag for my opponent or alexa with wasted battlecry for freezmage or leeroy with no shadowsteps for miracle rogue :d sometimes this card f*** u and other time your opponent its kinda like Gelbin Mekkatorque impact on game :)

the good players often test their new decks in casual mode, that's why there are many golden heroes

Good players want to test their decks against opponents of equal skill and not waste time in casual.

not true ... i think in most cases u make your deck to be competitive at any level and to be the best deck possible, so when u r matched with higher skill level opponent then u have chance to put that deck to a test even more, so in case of testing i think u should be glad for high skill oponents ;-) if u get noobs and rekt them 10/0 in a row how did u test the deck? u just exploited theirs missplays and learnt nothing about how strong the deck actualy is ...

just remmembered one thing that was very usefull when i was goofing around with this type of deck: Crazy Alchemists are insane :) u can run regular high attack minions and then when they trade or survive round with low hp u just swap hp/att and voila uv got high hp minion that survived turn and cause u dont have to play minion this turn its likely that u will have that 2 spare mana to play Alchemist ;-) ... and not just that Alchemists r just too much fun and value not to run them in this kind of deck :) (8/2 deathlord, 14/4 silenced ysera for finish etc)

i run one inner fire in "standard" deathrattle priest to combo with deathlord/baron gedon/stalag or anything buffed by pw:s/cultist ... it doesnt kill the OP deck and puts one more play this deck can pull off and also it can sometimes be used to combo with sw:death

pure divine spirit+inner fire decks arent much of a success (and i tried that a lot) cause u simply invest too much cards and HOPE and PRAY that they will get some value next turn ... that is no way to play HS on competitive level (its fun tho i know :) )

side note: put 2x shield bearer, 2x light well and 2x deathlord for early combos where your opponent might not have means to deal with it yet other than that there isnt much chance for successful combo later on tbh

had some fun today with couple of my yolo decks and "bad beated" myself even :D

1st one he had kel behind taunt and copied him and thought he is so safe :D

2nd one i pretty much baited all silences/sw:d so i can play feug+stalag+baron (even thoughtstole 2nd stalag) but then i was little to quick on the trigger :DDD didnt realize at that moment that he would get 2 thadiuses as well (killed his feugen with my stalag) :DD

your connection may be lil slower. if opponent clicks in all their moves before you click concede then you get to sit and watch it all. kinda sux. but if your class isnt lvl 60 yet the conceding will just short you a lil xp for the few extra seconds of wait. 

it is not my connection of that i am 100% certain ;-)

im more annoyed that usually when i want to concede then the game wont let me and i have to watch my opponents entire turn how he sets up leathal or BM me before he kills me and when i want to make that satisfying last hit to the face my opponent insta-concedes in half sec after his last played card ... qq me :)

You "only" need 500 wins to get a golden hero. There are plenty of players that play only 1 class, and they might need 2000+ battles to get a golden portrait. That's a winrate of 25%, which isn't that great. What I'm trying to say is that having a golden hero says nothing about their skill, just that they play with that class a lot.

if u'd have 2k games on one class and still didnt know how to play it that would be extremly sad :d

Maybe he is right about unfair matches in casual mode. In ranked play you will find players with more similar strength than yours. I am a legend player and I play a lot more ranked than casual. Once someone added me after I beated him in casual and started to flame me, and his/her rank was only 16 or so. So it can happen that you face people with golden heroes because they have a low MMR in casual, and the reason of this is that they play more ranked than casual so their rating does not reflect their true skill.
You can't blame them though, I also use casual to warm up before I start the grind, or to do some daily quests with classes that are not strong in the current meta. Play ranked, it solves most of these problems.

well ofc it is not 100% accurate but u being legend and oponent being rank 16 isnt impossible that u did have very close mmr so u got matched together in casual

acording to mmr they ARE around your skill ... so either u have psychical block in your mind when u see golden hero and immediately u play worse or u are indeed matcher against "better" players and u will drop in mmr soon and will not get matched vs them so often. lots of ppl go to casual to try out decks or just do fast quest or whatever reason but its pretty much trololo plays most of the time, if u want any kind of consistency just play rankeds ... even if u are not very experienced or dont have cards so what? not like u can loose anything by playin ranked ... either u get to some better rank (which basicly doesnt even matter in the end rly id u dont care about legend rank) or u will be stuck around some particular rank and will be around ppl with supposedly similar skill as u

learn every single class class cards and what combos they can pull off and know in which exact turn they can play it (mind the coin/no coin) so be prepared and play around it and learn how to spot it, learn all secrets and how to check for them and play around them ... without this goin to play arena is relying purely on luck and wont give u many wins at all
