How is this BM as long as you don't do it like 10 times or every round? I always do this even when I lose, it's common fucking gamer courtesy for as long as I can remember.

Also there is the meta-play of faking lethal from hand with classes that have known-burst is a legit strategy too.

And that floating baby was Thrall am i right?

Never this....

Playing Freeze/Maly Mage vs a weird mirangy C-thun warrior. Builds up his C'thun to 10/10 by turn 10 has me down to 9 health, i pop my alex on him, got lethal in hand as he only has 21 HP with his low armor count.. I have a secret up....he face swings my Alex with Gorehowl and uses a 0 mana execute to reduce himself to 13 HP which is fucking retarded considering I just did Alex after a Thaurissan turn, you'd think he'd be trying to maximize health. Next thing I know he drops C'thun into my secret...which was barrier not block. So basically he made a play that either he would win or he would 100% lose rather than doing the sensible thing and getting out of lethal range. 

This game rewarding a braindead fucktard once again.

Thx i'm sure it will get easier in the coming weeks as the meta slows down again, hopefully i can finally make a legend push this season

Since when did midrange shaman start running healing wave and Hallazeal? And how the fuck can these noobs still lose to my Freeze Mage when I waste my Alex pre- HW and you get back to 30 health? Shit these hoes aint loyal

Played with the Reno from tempostorm for awhile, i liked the concept but honestly was getting roflstomped. Dropped from starting season rank of 15 down to 19 pretty quickly.

This list is great, i've just powered up from 19 again down to 15 in 1 big WS, feel like having Alex/Jara/Reno as 3 huge healers makes the deck that much more consistent. And that's with all the start of the season mad-gro(aggro).

One change I would recommend is Cult Apothecary for BGH, personally i just use SS as my "BGH", atleast currently there is a ton of aggro and not a lot of decks are actually playing 7 dmg minions....might lose me a couple games but there's nothing more satisfying than watching a  zoolock spam "well played" after forbidden ritual, only to use that card to gain like 12 health and burn him down with the demonwrath to clear

Playing RenoLock vs a midrange hunter. He has me down to 7 health on turn 9, just used his COTW. I have 3 minions on board including a Highmane i used Faceless manipulator on, so i was in OK shape.

I had Reno in hand, playing on my phone though, so i click to throw out Reno and i accidentally pitch out a Twilight Drake. So instead of leaving him with a Leorik to my 4 minions and my 30 health+twisting nether in hand, i have a 4/7 on board to watch me die to his turn 9 call of the wild.

Fucking iphone. Worst thing is i couldnt even tap for turns 2/3 since it wouldnt let me select it.

I'd like the idea of automated tournaments ala. WC3 and SC2 with significant gold/dust prizes, perhaps even make it like a random rank 5 chest with atleast 1 golden of rare + caliber for the winner, and maybe a "tournament winner" card back.

Also would be cool to see new icon system brought into the game to represent class wins above 500.

 For example maybe make a special portrait for 750/1000/1500/2000 to incentivise more grinding.

That moment when your calculating future values of present cash flows while playing hearthstone and improperly count to your cards to 4 instead of 5. Causing you instead to sequence your cards in a tempo warrior mirror improperly, so instead of having a clear board with a 14/3 beserker on your side, you don't have the mana for the execute that you thought, so you leave their zerker up at 15/2 and yours at 14/3, when trading your monkey to the zerker and using execute on the taunt that was up, instead of thinking you could squeeze it with a whirlwind, trade monkey for taunt and execute their zerker too. All cause you wanted that extra 2 damage on your stupid frothing, instead you get OTK'ed.

Atleast I got the future value calculation right...

Top 8 in EU and NA on the spring championship didn't have any priests. Someone published stats on the NA championship and priest had around 25% winrate IIRC, the worst of all classes. Priest does need better cards to be competitive, just because you personally don't like playing against priest doesn't mean having only one decent deck in a class (that, like I said, it's decent but not competitive) it's acceptable.

N'zoth dragon priest, entomb either Sylv or Tirion. Most of the time the Paladin's win is going to come from playing those 2 minions out during the game, then doing a big N'zoth play to try to flood the board with 15+damage of revived minions after you've used up your options. I'd prefer to Entomb Tirion but sometimes the Pally will play out Syvl when you have minions on board hoping to swing the tempo of the game by forcing you to play around it. 

Other key thing to remember is that Pally has very little actual minions, most of their early to mid game consists of stalling and clearing with Pyro/Consecration/doomsayer/equality, and reducing threats to 1 damage. This is why I like the dragon priest variant, because you can keep 2-3 minions on board from early game and put a lot of pressure throughout the game to hopefully force him to waste his equality.

Basically the only way he can win is if you provide him too many minions to equality clear at the same time, or if you play your n'zoth turn into that same combo. For that reason even if i get N'zoth in my opening hand i nearly always wait until either he's used 2 equality combos or he plays his own N'zoth(this is why i like stealing his sylvannas, because then you have 2 steals in your own revive, so if he equality/consecrates, good chances of stealing his tirion.)

My favorite thing about this game....whole morning i was playing control warrior and miracle rogue. So i'm like "cool i'll stop playing an aggro deck from the day before when all i played was midrange hunter/shaman/tempo warrior, and do my midrange hunter deck which i always win in those matchups".

Next thing I know i'm playing 8 face shamans in a row with a zoolock mixed in for good measure. literally burst down from 4 to 6 in 1 sitting.

Swear to god sometimes this game attempts to fuck you up with shit matchups.

And now i switch to beast druid to cheese out some fucking shamans and i get 3 control warriors in a row :)

Totem Shaman and Midrange Hunter has been great for me the last week or so. Pretty good matchup against the control decks, and especially with Hunter unless an aggro shaman gets that perfect trogg/totem golem/totem/wolves opening and you get crap cards you are going to do ok.

I use the list off this site with like 500 upvotes except I swapped a couple cards to have an explosive trap and a loot hoarder rather than a fiery bat.

Tempo Warrior against totem shaman(i am the shammy)

Round 3 i have a Totem Golem on the board against an armorsmith. Flame Juggler 50% chance of clear...nope goes face. This results in my totem golem getting cleared by the armorsmith and the second hit of his war axe takes out my flame juggler. THAT WAS AN ERROR.

Then at some point in the game i think turn 6 now hes played 2 Kokron Elite's, I had to clear the 1st with a double doomhammer the second one is on board. I tap hoping for a +1 spell damage for my lightning storm for a guaranteed kill. Nope. Roll the 50/50 dice....nope he lives with 1 HP, so i have to clear a Doomhammer hit which brings me to 8 life.

On turn 8 I now have 5 minions on board, 3 of which are totems, a flame juggler and a totem golem. I also have bloodlust+rockbiter in hand and I have 2 shots left on my Doomhammer. His board is empty. He has 23 life so I have lethal in hand. He plops down a fat Ragnaros the Firelord who decides out of the 16% chances of him winning the game to pick that option.

Thank you law of probabilities for granting my opponent a victory, because if either of the two 50% probabilities had gone my way, than my opponent wouldn't have even had the chance to win the game with a 16% longshot Rag throwdown to the face.
