Hearthpwn

I do this. I'll admit to doing this. I'm not ashamed of doing this. I play Hearthstone to have fun. I play fun, inventive decks and, in a perfect world, would like to play against other people who play fun, inventive decks. But it seems that my idea of fun and inventive and other people's idea of fun and inventive differ greatly.

I'll come up with a dumb fun deck idea, and hop into "casual" to play it...hopefully against other people who have come up with their own dumb fun decks, but all I come across are people who are playing net decks looking for a quick/easy win to get their quests done. Since most of my decks can't compete with these net decks (after all, they are net decks for a reason, while my decks will never be among the top voted decks here on Hearthpwn), and there's no way I'll get the fun I think I deserve being a member of the Hearthstone community, I will deny my net decking opponent of his quick/easy win by DRAWING THE GAME OUT FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

I'm not AFK, I may be looking at stuff other than the game, but I'm still there, and I'll watch that rope until the very end, and then hit "End Turn." That way I never get the speed rope. Net deckers ruin my fun...so I'll ruin yours. "Tit for tat." "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." However you wanna put it. I don't care. Sure, I could just concede and move on, but chances are high that I'll just run into another net deck, and YOU'LL still get your quick/easy win, while I'll have to suffer through even more unoriginal bastards.

Yes, I may be as much of a cancer on this game as net deckers are, but net deckers created people like me, and you know what...soon you'll have net deckers pulling this crap, while I'll never make a deck that I copied off of sites like this one.

So, go ahead and flame me, whatever will make you feel better about copy/pasting your deck...you won't change my opinion on net decks, and I won't change your opinion on playing them...I won't even bother trying. Someone told or showed you net decking was the way to go and because you can't think for yourself, you believed them.

Who are "they?" Why is their posture so bad? Does the game choose one of the possible outcomes every time something random happens??

"THEY" are THE MAN! The grand oppressors! The one's on top who are trying to keep all us little guys down!

Of course "their posture is so bad!" They want to make US feel bad so THEY feel good! They don't care how we feel as long as we can line their pockets with cold hard cash! They'll throw us a bone every now and then to keep our hopes up, but in the end...we're doomed and they rejoice at this fact! Because only THEY know the true outcome!

The game doesn't choose possible outcomes...THE MAN does! Of course, they don't do this themselves! They're above such menial labor! They hire peons...initiates who have given their all to the will of THE MAN! These initiates wish to become THE MAN themselves one day, but becoming THE MAN isn't something you can work to become, but something you are born into or, if you're EXTREMELY lucky, married into!

We are all just pawns in THE MAN's game...most of you don't know it...but you will now! Until THE MAN sends one of their many lackeys to squelch my voice!

For those of you who read this, remember my words for they will not be up here long...either a Hearthpwn moderator will remove my post or this thread will "magically" become buried among all the other threads...you'll start to see a dramatic influx in "nerf ______" threads or "which Legendary should I craft" threads.

HEED MY WORDS!!!

Thank you for your time.

I was playing with a deck idea and a question arose while fiddling around.

Let's say I have a Ragnaros the Firelord in play and I give it stealth via Conceal. Then at end of turn Ragnaros the Firelord hits a minion with divine shield. Ragnaros the Firelord will deal 0 damage, but remove the divine shield. Since it deals no damage, does he lose stealth?

I know that divine shield negates Imp-losion's Imp spawning ability because no damage was dealt. Does it also negate losing stealth?

WTF is this word? Is it an Aussie word? Lemme watch all the Crocodile Dundee movies to see if this word is mentioned anywhere.

• Fritz#1508

If this is THE roster for this guild, I'm guessing THIS is why I don't get invited to do anything from anyone else in it. Name is Friz#1508, not Fritz#1508. Why does everyone insist on adding the "T"??? It's not just the compiler of the list, but a bunch of people have called me Fritz instead of Friz. Friz is not a typo, no matter how many squiggly red lines spell correct insists on putting under my name.

Change your name to Ysera. Problem solved. You're welcome.

Does anyone know what would happen if you drew a Burrowing Mine with Chromaggus in play?

Chromaggus states "Whenever you draw a card, put another copy into your hand." It doesn't ever state that the card you draw must go into your hand.

Would Chromaggus give you a Burrowing Mine? 

Edit: I realize that there's no strategy involved here. There's no neat combo. It's just a question that popped into my head regarding these 2 cards' interaction with one another.

You have FIVE Dragons and SIX Deathrattle cards in your deck, and yet you still refer to it as a "Dragon deck." Looks more like a Deathrattle deck than a Dragon deck to me.

I also made a Dragon Paladin deck, it's got 10 Dragons in it and 5 cards that rely on me having a Dragon in my hand to work to their fullest. I may never be able to claim that my deck "works," but I can claim that it's more "Dragon deck" than yours is.

Oh, and in case you're wondering my Dragon deck has ONE Deathrattle minion.

Edit: Just reread your update. So, if you had Tirion Fordring you'd take either a Zombie Chow or a Dragon Consort out of your "Dragon deck." Your options are to take out a Deathrattle minion for another Deathrattle minion, keeping your totals the same in regards to Dragons and Deathrattle minions, or replacing a Dragon for a Deathrattle minion, changing your numbers from 6 Deathrattle minions to 7, and lowering the number of Dragons from 5 to 4...and you'd still refer to your deck as a "Dragon deck?"

At that point calling it a "Dragon deck" is a joke.

Can you change the title of your post to: "A Paladin deck with a couple Dragons splashed in for good measure is currently working?!?" It'd be far more accurate.

No. There are no OP classes in HS. There can't be. Because of the competitive nature of the game, if there was one class that was just flat out better than ALL other classes, then everyone would be playing THAT class!

Now, if you were to ask if there were any OP deck archetypes, or combos, then maybe there'd be more room for a proper discussion.

I only add people to tell them how ingenious they are.

I mean...I played against a Hunter deck, where all he did was rush me down. Totally ignored my minions and just hit me in the face over and over. It was a brilliant deck idea and he needed to be praised for his ingenuity.

Then I played a Warlock, and he did pretty much the same thing! Way to use that Hero Power to fill your hand with low cost minions and beat me by turn 6. Seriously! If that's not a deck archetype, it should be!

Then I played a Warrior deck. He did this sweet ass combo where he played Warsong Commander + Grim Patron and just smashed into all my minions with his Grim Patrons until his side of the board was full. Next turn he wrecked my face.

I dunno where these people think of these ideas, but they better patent them or something or pretty soon EVERYONE will be playing these EXACT same decks or using these EXACT same combos over and over and over and...

If you didn't win, then this screenshot is just proof that you don't have to drop a ton of $ on the game to do well...since your opponent only has basic cards in play.

Unless you're just letting your friend win...then...nice...I guess.

It's really a shame that one of the most interesting cards in the game, with some of the most beautiful sound effects and animation, is both hard to acquire and otherwise not all that worthwhile to include in a deck.  It's also disappointing that the minion provides three other cards which are similarly nice and distinctive but almost never seen.

It's good that Elite Tauren Chieftain is a gimmicky card that isn't worthwhile, otherwise people would be raising hell that a 'great' card can only be attained through Ebay, crafting, or via a time machine so you can go back in time to attend that Blizzcon.

Blame me. I hacked into your computer to see what decks you run. Then I log in to Hearthstone in my main and 8 alt accounts, running hard counters of your deck for the sole purpose of spiting you. I will only stop if you manage to disenchant your golden Boulderfist Ogre. Seriously, stop running that card. It's OP.

You can't disenchant Boulderfist Ogre.

You don't want Priests to Thoughtsteal all your best cards? Play with crappy cards. Problem solved.

Gogo Mage Magma Rager deck! Can call it the Magema Rager...see what I did there? I'm bored.
