Hearthpwn

Got Paladin for both games, I played, and beat my priest and druid opponent.  Priest was tough, but some good control plays brought me back from near death, and I had Anduin staring at a board of 6 x 6/6s and an Ashbringer.  Pretty sure the druid was just a bad player.

There is absolutely no reason for him to stick around because of the kabal legendaries forcing players to play highlander decks already.

The Kabal legendaries will not be enough to keep highlander decks relevant.  Kazakus will also lose much of his power with Brann cycling out. The class highlander cards are not enough.  One is good enoigh to see play, 1 rarely in the rare Reno mage, and the 3Rd doesnt see hardly any play at all in Renolock.  They will need new tools constantly introduced which I am for, preferably at the start of new rotation.

 Why should highlander decks stay relevant, to start with ?

My only issue with Reno is that long games in the ladder are a problem. That's why everybody is playing aggro when laddering, because the win rate isn't important, stars/hour is, and you can cram 15 games in an hour with a pirate deck.

The other thing is, playing reno decks relies heavily on draw RNG and rewards bad deck building. I do love playing them in casual for my dailies, but if I wanted to do the legend grind I'd rather cut my throat than have to face all those stall decks.

Opened 91 packs and got 2 Kazakus and Don Han'Cho. While I was annoyed at the number and 2 dupes, I was glad I at least opened a Legendary, I wanted.  Got the murloc ninja from quest packs later.

Then I got 31 packs for the pack issue, and I could not be happier.   This time I got a Golden Kazakus, Aya, and Wrathion as well as the remaining epics, I wanted.

Synergies well with Kazakus.  Reno mage is looking pretty good with these new additions.

Had time for a few games today.  Shout out to the 2 druids that played yogg, providing me with some comedy relief.  1st cast doom to fatigue themselves.  2nd made me literally lol when the FIRST spell was a fireball to Yogg's face.  Good times.

I hit legend earlier in the week, using midrange shaman with Harrison Jones and Bloodlust for the final push to legend.  Actually, made a couple friends of control warriors after some epic matches.  

Second to last game before legend was a match where I harrisoned a doom hammer off an aggro shaman.  Another big fist pump moment was flamewreath played on turn 4 with a hex in my hand. The clinching game was a tough nail biter with a tempo mage.  I was around 12ish health for 3 turns, before finally getting a concession from the mage.

Here's my proof and deck list.

If hitting legend wasn't enough to celebrate, my son was born a couple days later.  So I doubt I'll be forgetting this week.

So they are banning the card that is keeping hunter relevant.  War axe ban is stupid as well.  Tuskar totemic, Barnes, and Yogg make perfect sense given the uproar over rng harming the competitive scene.  Those 3, I can understand but the other 2 are just salty players.  Believe me, I have been on the receiving end of those cards as well.

I have a better idea for 2 card bans. 

Knife juggler and flame juggler.

Quote from The6thDangerZone >>

The implication that playing the best deck is somehow "wrong" is laughable, wrong how? is it wrong to get the best results in the fastest way? Is it wrong to win a game that has the objective of, you guessed it, winning? Who care's if it takes "less skill" the problem you have is that you think that skill=control decks, or thinking for longer somehow makes you more important. It doesn't, if you keep losing while playing control, you need to either get better, or stop playing a deck that you lose with. It feels like the logic you people employ is "I hate this so it should change to suit me." That's not the way things work. And it never will be. I like aggro decks, and that doesn't make me more mindless or brain dead than you, it makes me better at winning than you, because I do it more. If you want to win, if you want good results, and you deliberately choose not to avail yourself of the tools to do that, you don't have a right to complain when you don't get what you want.

I once read a good Hearthstone article: the definition of a scrub is a player who doesn't play to win.

It wouldn't be Hearthstone if a braindead deck that masks terrible play and caters to ADHD kids wasn't the most popular.

I don't know on what I'd be more successful: discussing Human Rights with an Auschwitz guard or discussing decks with a pirate warrior "player".
