    posted a message on The cards that should never exist in the game at all

    Think there's nothing wrong with most the cards you mentioned.  For example, CC is fine, it's only OP when combined with mana cheating mountain giant, so maybe they should look at mountain giant or just mana reduction mechanic in general.

    Quote from Aegis24 >>

    I'll tell you where Warrior WILL drop a huge win percenage:  the Quest Druid matchup.

    As one of those cheating bastard hucksters that thoroughly enjoys Control Warrior, I can honestly say I don't see a consistent path to victory against this deck anymore.

    Please don't caricature what I just said into "warrior never wins against druid".  I simply guarantee you'll see a 15 point swing in that matchup at the very least after these nerfs.

     As someone who's played quite a bit of quest druid I agree with this.  Boom on 7 made the games really tough.  Not unwinnable, but every turn after 7 that boom didn't get played my chances of winning went way up.  Boom played at T10 and later is basically GG, my snowball has been rolling too long.

    I don't know why people think Mage is going to crash vs warrior now.  With boom at 9 it just got easier.  CC got nerfed, yes, but the nerf doesn't prevent late game pressure, just makes early game shenanigans less likely.  CC mage is still going to walk all over warrior without much problem.

     Could possibly be true if mage switches away from highlander and starts running two copies of cc.  But with just 1 cc and no more lunas I don't think mage will be able to pressure warrior enough

    The mage nerf was too harsh, it's going to struggle now.  Should of nerfed 1 card not both

    posted a message on Luna's Pocket Galaxy issues

    I play a lot of mage.  You have to be aggro enough so that it's very awkward/impossible for me to play that card on turn 5.  And the meta has become much more aggro lately; very hostile to mage.  Win rate's dropping fast, don't think it needs a nerf.  Especially don't think they should nerf both Luna's and conjurer's together, that would definitely be overkill.

    Yes, mage destroys control warrior, but isn't that a good thing?

    2) Message turns out to be shit..Don't care if it is fantasy, action, thriller, german bdsm porn, a message must exist..Right now the only message this show sends is "you cannot escape your past" and thats a shitty message to send.. Seriously, her father was mad so she has to be mad, just lazy, lame and cliché..

     This is the part that personally bothers me the most: the nihilist message we're being given. Maybe people (like myself) shouldn't have expected a happy ending, and maybe this was GRRM's ultimate point all along, but I really did not need 8+ years of story to end with "nothing matters, you can't escape your past or overcome your deficiencies, everyone is fucked." Real life is cynical enough as it is.

    I'll paraphrase an article I read: "the showrunners said that this final season would be 'bittersweet', but they pushed too much 'bitter' and not enough 'sweet'."

     To me, one thing that could really make this ending is Queen Sansa. For all the lack of growth/reversion we've seen (Jamie, Brienne, Dany, Cersi), Sansa going from being the dumbest Stark and dumbest main character in the first few seasons, to becoming the most cunning and prescient character(super-saiyan Bran not included) has been a real bright spot (your "sweet" so to speak"). After all the horror she's endured, seeing her end up on top would be nice. It would also pacify all those saying that show treats women poorly after Dany became a crazy-pants that's surely going to die. Though I can't imagine the books ending with Queen Sansa, her character in the books is dumb beyond repair.

    At the very least, there should be some surprise ending rather than "the heroic and good male chosen one becomes the king."  He's acts just like Ned and Robb Stark, but I bet he won't suffer their fates.    

    We all know that he's going to kill Danearys and become king, although he'll feel very bad about it, I'm sure.  A very bad ending to a story that was supposedly about upending the conventions of fantasy.  

     I don't think so. I think he'll kill Dany (his Queen) and then take the black rather than become king.

     I think Jon's pretty much done with the Night's Watch after they murdered him ;P  Don't see him going back to that.  Maybe he'll travel north of the wall and join the wildlings though.

    posted a message on The true state of druid has been revealed

    I wouldn't call token druid trash, they are still hard to beat even when you tech against them, and people are starting to tech less against them now.

    But yes, Blizzard should give druid some love, just with a different archetype.

    posted a message on Does Blizzard/HS team even test the cards before the release?

    Mage has about the same amount if not more removal, why only complain about Warrior? I don't even know how you think removal is a bad thing.

     Not really true, lol.  Once Warrior plays Dr. Boom, every one of their cards becomes removal.

    posted a message on Pop-ups on Hearthpwn

    Is it just me (and something wrong with my phone?), or is Hearthpwn infested with tons of sketchy pop-ups?  Almost every time I click a link or button on the site it triggers a dangerous looking pop-up, such as the ones I've attached to this thread.  As a result the site has become almost unusable for me.

    This mainly happens in Android Google Chrome on my phone which is freshly factory reset, and the problem still persists.  T-mobile is my network carrier, I'm connecting directly through their cellular service, not through my router.  If I use an ad blocking browser like Brave then the problem goes away, but wondering why the problem exists to start with and how to correct the root problem.

    posted a message on Token druid, a cancer on a otherwise good expansion

    I mean I don't have a problem with the concept of token druid.  But they seem a little over the top with this latest expansion.

    You can fully tech against them, and clear their board 4 times in a row and they will happily refill the board after each time and then easily kill you once you run out of removal.

    They just have too much board refill this time around.
