I know, it's almost like there should be some sort of card one can use which people have to attack first before going face.

user-18170432 posted a message on Group therapy! Need to blow off steam? Mega salty? Here is the place!Posted in: General DiscussionYesterday first two arena runs since December. They were great and I totally forgot why I hated arena.
2-3 just now. That's a great way to start the fucking day and the problem is I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO BE MAD ABOUT! It's not like I died to all flamestrikes but I had a bad draft and got outplayed, not having the control about the game makes me even madder than dying to RNG...
I'll never ever draft arena without having my second coffee of the day.
40 dust. yey. Of course I closed the game because fuck me, I don't want to ladder after that.

Morethanafish posted a message on Group therapy! Need to blow off steam? Mega salty? Here is the place!Posted in: General DiscussionPriest is really irritating. You put a small minion on the board and he has such a wide array of options to remove it that it's not even funny. Shadow Madness then trade; Cabal Shadow Priest to steal; Shadow Word. He can use Shrinkmeister on your 4 HP minion and steal it aswell. Do you have a Water Elemental? Fine, it's his.
Then he thoughtsteals twice and gets your secret or boardwipe. If you put a big minion on the board, he has 3 options of removal during the game: 2x Shadow Words and Big Game Hunter. Either these ones, or he just mind controls it. I mean, how are you supposed to beat a priest without playing aggro and rushing him before he gets to use his combos? Not to mention that at turn 4 they get a 4 dmg boardwipe for 4 mana. Flamestrike costs 7 mana. Consecration is 4 mana and does 2 damage, so you need equality for board wipe.
Now they have Vol'Jin and Velen's Chosen. Just so many options. Seriously, this class is just so irritating to play against. Not OP, but irritating, frustrating, infuriating. When I have to play non-ladder to do quests, I just quit when I see a priest nowadays. -

SwisherMAN posted a message on My 2 year old earns January Card Back - HimselfPosted in: General DiscussionI want to give a big shout out to my 2 year old (29 mos) son Jacob for legitimately earning his January card back. And my wife and I still do not understand quite how it happened. The story is...
We had set him up with his own account about a month ago because we were tired of him playing on our accounts when we wanted to play ourselves. However, he actually started playing Hearthstone about 7 months ago and quickly took to the mechanics of the game. He can now play on a laptop, desktop or a tablet without issue. He also thinks he wins every game based on the explosion. If he sees an explosion (on either side) he assumes he's won and runs around exclaiming "I win, I win". Cute.
Let me get one thing straight. I'm not saying that he knows how to play the game. Or, he's some kind of savant or genius... I'm just saying that he plays the game and has gone from beating the tutorial to beating most AI characters to unlock them. To playing in play mode and eventually for some reason early this month he wanted to start playing ladder. Probably only because it was the one game mode he hadn't tried yet. My wife and I were apprehensive at first because well he's 2, so he doesn't have the best attention span and we'd seen him leave games often. But, we figured that it would be a way to give other people free wins and we saw no harm in that.
Fast forward a couple of weeks later and my wife calls me up in a panic and she says that Jacob has reached rank 20 on the ladder. I was like "Waaa... you have to be kidding me!" and I really did not believe her. I thought she was joking but when I came home I was able to confirm that he did indeed make rank 20 and has earned his card back for this month. Since creating his account I had helped him unlock the first 4 or 5 characters but then neither my wife or I have done anything else to help him with building decks (yes he builds his own "decks" and I use that term very loosely) or anything. He wont let us anymore... lol... So, he has done all the ranking up and deck building on his own and we are immensely proud of him.
One other thing that makes me extra proud happened just yesterday. He faced a rank 20 golden hunter and my wife was watching him at the time and told me about it going down. I was like well, easy win for that hunter. But, nope... He beat him. Crazy.
I'd describe my son's play style as 100% face. And he absolutely hates taunts... its funny to hear him play and occasionally let a huge sigh escape because that means someone put up a taunt. As far as his ladder feat goes, I'm sure he did not legitimately win every game. I'm sure some people quit and gave him free wins. But, regardless of all that, he gets a new shiny card back next month that he earned all by himself.
UPDATE:
So I felt the need to post some video footage after reviewing some of the more unfavorable comments in this thread. The first video is just a quick video of my son creating a deck for ladder. Here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-g8OSzMgaE&feature=youtu.be (FYI... The game he queues into ends with a dual explosion after the mulligan phase.)
The second video was entirely spontaneous as I did not know in advance that he was going to play. And it is also about as raw and as real as it gets. If you are not a fan of boogers, amateur videography or baby's crying please do not watch. Otherwise, share my joy in watching my son defeat a rank 20 Shaman with his Hunter deck on ladder. (Yes, he does deliver an Arcane shot to his own face! :)) Here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2Ss0iqRQ9E&feature=youtu.be

I would definitely put a Faceless Manipulator in, would help against handlocks and ramp druids. Also, I've been playing around with Miracle and the Questing Adventurer. With how many low cost spells and cards you can play per turn, he can become pretty beefy. Even an Illidan Stormrage could be interesting, but that's getting more towards the Violet Teacher builds. Just a thought.

Looks like a great deck, but I can't believe you don't have atleast one Auctioneer. Any reason for that?

I have tried this deck a little today (with a few modifications), in ladder rank 7ish. It stood up against most decks, not the greatest win rate, but I'm winning about 50/50. Its alot of fun non the less. Play it just like a control priest, just adding in Maexxna and Lightspawn, they don't have charge, but if you can put them next to a taunt (like Sunwalker), next turn buff them up and go for the face.
I also really enjoy playing loatheb on the same turn as the buffing, really shuts them out (just watch out for Ironbeak Owls and Spellbreakers).
Managed to get Maexxna to 40 damage (1x Power Word: Shield + 2x Divine Spirit + 1x Inner Fire) and one shot a warrior with 30 hp +7 armor. He didn't see it coming. I would also HIGHLY recommend adding in Faceless Manipulator. Even if you don't have the full combo, 2x half the combo is just the same =).

This deck is almost 100% (He didn't have Kel in the Miracle Rogue) but he had 2x Fan of Knives, and only one Earthen Ring Farseer.
2
After re watching, this seems to be the correct build. The other 2 decks posted only have one Fan of Knives, he definitely had x2 and I only saw one Earthen Ring.

This is the deck Tarei used to stomp TidesOfTime, sad to see Tides go, but this deck did some serious work...
