    posted a message on Need Help with My Anyfin Can Happen and Call to Arms deck...

    The only advice I can give is that IMO, 3/4 of the Unidentified Maul buffs are superior to Rallying blade. divine shields are inherently difficult to keep up more than a turn and thus make it pretty tough to land. Furthermore, it does not buff your big murlocs, which are probably the one's you rather have buffed if anything.

    Ivory night also seems really slow. Obviously getting an extra anyfin is almost an auto-win, but the odds in wild of getting it aren't great... I'd recommend truesilver champion first which would free up your board to go more smorc and less trade, keeping more minions alive for longer.

    Lastly, I don't see consecration doing much. For the same mana you can play Gentle Megasaur and adapt your murlocs and get a 5/4 body. Considering you can easily Call to arms+ Megasaur on turn 9 and refresh a freshly cleared board, that's much more likely to get you over a bunch of weak taunts or whatever else those are supposed to be for.

    fuck the op>

    Oh shit, this guy is back! I’m surprised he wasn’t banned yet. The OP is just a massive troll who starts fights with everyone don’t even bother posting something constructive or he will probably call you a fat hipocrite, at least that’s what he did when claiming that Blizzard is scamming everyone with tilted packs. Lol

    Okay reading that made my fucking day, ty
     
    It’s unfortunately true as well, if you look at alll of his posts, there isn’t a single one where he isn’t raging like 5 year who just got there sweet roll stolen (Nice little nod towards Skyrim there). 
     Oh yeah he was the guy from a couple days ago that was ranting about the card pack loophole blizz deployed in china... well that kind of killed this topic for me. I tried once already to get a real discussion from him, but he doesn't want one.

    I don't think you can write 5 paragraphs about how stupid you think people who do X is and then tell people you don't care if people do X. Anyway, we do have a salt thread and no, before you flip your ad hominem card into attack mode, I do not rope anyone ever.

    I like the implications of the combined spell card using things from your collection, but I think the rogue one is very weak compared to priest.

    Rogue has combos, but they're at most going to deliver something like 12 face damage and then vanish, which is OK in terms of tempo power (that's basically 2x Leeroy except the eviscerates go over taunt), but is not very fun or even possible to play around. Basically, this card is either bonkers broken or a turd depending on the combo cards it can pick from.

    The Priest one can easily just be Free From Amber and Mind Control and that's 18+ mana of effect with not much in the way of effort put in.

    On a side note these cards are uncounterable and do strange things if you Dirty Rat them... might want to make the minions without stats into spells?

    In any case I like the concept of a card like this as a fill-in for sideboards, although some decks definitely have a wider range of cards they can use than others right now.

     i'm not stupid man i know how business works i'm not making the post so that blizzard feels bad and reveals shit, i'm just making it to let some people that aren't fanboys know how they are getting fucked up, and maybe people will start voicing out this which is pretty relevant in a competitive game, they won't, but people should know and care about this shit, it's the same thing for example with the lobby system on american politic, it's bad and it doesn't serve the interest of the general population, yet people don't care and don't talk about it. Whatever man who cares, if you care then you are salty aren't you? and no1 wants to be called salty 
     The way you word things does not help. You imagine yourself as an altruist trying to save people from corporate greed, but you call everyone who sees differently a fanboy and strawman people who disagree with you in your opening post before anyone could even begin to comment by calling them "brainless".
    Holding out the olive branch with one hand doesn't mean much if you're holding a cudgel with the other. Have real discussion, welcome people who don't see things like you, and maybe you'll get some real respect.
    why is it so hard to understand that they trained you to think that "respect" means something so that you don't talk too real shit, why is it so hard to understand that i dont' care about what u think, and that everything is not a matter of opinions, I'm not talking opinions here, i'm talking real shit so if som1 sees things different from reality they are simply wrong, why would i care about a wrong vision? you are really politically correct but you are not understanding that i don't care for that, I'm not famous, I'm not a streamer i couldn't care less about keeping a friendly hipocritical image, i don't care for the fake credibility that gives me either, and if i want too i can manipulate people, don't think i'm that stupid, I can act nice too and say what ppl want to hear, it's not hard, but I choose to be real instead. You are simply wrong sorry to tell you, and it's not a matter of opinion, I agree that being fake is important in life, but I don't see the need to act like that here and I don't want to either and I don't believe in utopia, I think the community is really stupid, Blizzard even called the community stupid, I don't care for the feeling of belonging ppl get when talking about the "community", also I think as a rule of thumb taken from observation that majorities are generally wrong. Nothing will change either way, most ppl here are americans and they elected trump, and you are trying to say that they are worth sth lol sure man sure 
     
     Then why did you even come here? The point of a forum is discussion. If you made up your mind before anybody got a chance to decipher your text walls, why write them in the first place? As much as you talk about speaking of "real shit", this is just a vanity show. You want to be the guy who can see through the lies, the person who isn't fooled, but I mean let's have a spec of "real shit" here: you're having a pissing match on a forum about a video game. If your intellectual highground were a geographical landmark, you'd need to sandbag your borders to keep above sea-level during high-tide. It takes a lot of free time to mess around on a forum for a game you like, and it takes a lot more to do the same on a game you don't.
    If nobody had any different insight that could possible change your opinion or improve your outlook on the situation and you don't care about what anyone else thinks, why not just sit in your closet and hug yourself in congratulations about how right you are and how well you've mastered being alive? Why did you come here?
    EDIT: I'd like to point out as well that while you claim to look at Trump and his supporters with disdain, Trump LOVES to make wild accusations and then call everything proving them wrong as "fake news" or "alternative facts". Have you read his twitter? You sound like his foreign policy liason or something.

    @OP They're "hiding" it because they have nothing to gain from revealing the information. Even if the formula is about as good as we think it is or better, it will hurt sales as there will be a stronger understanding of how to "game" the system with optimal buying patterns. Remember, too, that not everyone who plays/pays is aware of the mechanics the community understands about the packs and if they knew it may change what and how they spend. It also means that in the future they would have to publicize how the drop system changes if they want to change it, and people will invariably demand to be compensated for purchasing packs a day/week/month before the change and creates lots of customer service work for the company.

    Regardless of how guilty or innocent Blizzard's drop system is, this is only destined to result in headache. Naturally, a company will avoid this.

     that kinda makes sense, though i think u are missing a lot of stuff there, plus they are willing to change their entire transaction model in order to use a legal hole, that's a headache they are willing to go through instead of revealing the real info, which casuals won't know anyway because you won't reveal it in ingame client so that part doesn't really make sense as an excuse. Also the matchmaking is fixed too. Plus there is stuff to gain from revealing the info, you gain credibility which i think they don't need since they already have fanboys, and they gain a more loyal fanbase which they don't care since they have fanboys. It's the same phenomenom as when a company creates a game that gains a huge audience because hardcore players enjoy it, like league of legends, like hs, then the company proceeds to "betray" that hardcore audience sacrificing the game and the hardcore audience that brought them to fame and a huge player base, then they start developing the game in a way that makes it shittier as a game but more addictive to grotesque audiences like causals, creating a slot machine audience for their game 
     This response has too many fingers in too many pies. If you want to talk about Blizzard's relative level of trustworthiness to other companies, go for it. However, in regards to using the "legal hole", it was not a major restructuring. Blizzard has plenty of systems to give players items already and didn't need to do much more than tie a script to the end of the completed app transaction. Truly a small price to pay considering how much it can save them.
    1. It immediately ducks the threat that new legislation could catch them with their pants down and they wind up in legal trouble before their programmers can code in a new monetization system and the legal and marketing teams now have plenty of time to discuss the future of the marketplace.
    2. The sooner they implemented an updated system, the longer they operate in a marketplace somewhere in the world where smaller companies will close their marketplace for a while to catch up. This is small, but could wind up netting sales.
    3. The drop formula is still secret. Competitors don't know how it works, buyers aren't crunching numbers or clogging customer satisfaction hotlines over the newly released data, and their revenue stream is largely uninterrupted.
    Again, while this is clearly not done in the best interest of the buyer, businesses never do things in the best interest of the buyer. That's not how making money works. You need to sell things. This move is a good idea from the perspective of a company and has the benefit of not being excessively greedy.

    Typically if you find yourself losing a lot of matches, it's due to particular combos getting popular in the meta that your deck can't deal with. Record your matches however you can and take a look at the turns where your advantage on board is lost or turns where you are forced to use key cards to survive rather than to win.

    See what the enemy plays during these times, recognize what your deck lacks to answer that, and find cards you can put in to beat it. If the deck falls apart trying to counter it, then consider either:

    A: Making your win condition faster/more powerful so the enemy can't outpace you

    B: Picking a new deck that suits the current meta.
