You're a catcher playing baseball, you're a defensive back lining up against a wide receiver, you're a center about to take the jump ball...
Do you complain if your opponent talks trash? Do you bring it up with the officials? Do you talk trash right back? Do you take it one step further?
This is real life. People get cocky, people get annoying, people talk trash. Thats part of competitive human nature whether we like it or not, and as a player of Hearthstone or any other (e)Sport, you will be scrutinized and challenged to rise to the occasion. Trash talking is used as a way to celebrate, or to demoralize your opponent and remove a layer of confidence. (He also might just be a certified dick). Either way, your job is to simply defy the insults, or lose like an adult, and try again. An argument could be made that it is slightly unnecessary in casual play, but from my own experience, that is where it is most prevalent. Try ranked! But, my friend, you should feel overjoyed. You have the luxury of blocking any and all "noise" from your opponent, AND he is restricted to non-threatening preset phrases. At the end of the day, its just a game and a few preset words. No coddling. Go kick some ass, and ignore the flak!
Menagerie has always been too high of a cost for me to justify using it. Definitely crossed my mind though. Still playing around with it, but seems pretty great the way it is.
Definitely wanna keep him if in your initial hand, and as for the deck as a whole, he can create some serious chaos, espcially with the slight lack of draw power!
