    posted a message on Your opinion on Tempo Mage

    It's one of my favorite decks and one that I have a ton of experience with. Even in seasons where people say it's weak, I can take it to ranks 5+ very quickly. A lot of people play this deck wrong. They see the word tempo and think it means playing strong minions on curve but that is only one definition of tempo. In the case of tempo mage, if you did that you'd get blown out because the raw stats on their minions are quite weak, you're most important card is a 2/4 for 3 mana.  It actually plays more like rogue, where your tempo comes from swing turns. You want to be looking for "mini combos" in the mid-game to extract value out of your minions and snowball the game. Personally I love the deck, the only truly bad matchup is freeze mage and the comeback potential is insane. I can't tell you how many games that I've been at 5 or less life and came back to win what seemed unwinnable.

    Not a great card but Elite Tauren Chieftain has an awesome entrance.

    posted a message on Is it ethically defensible to rope Secret Paladins?

    If they BM me in the slightest way I'll bm them back better. I don't condone bm'ing except if you play the most mindless,annoying deck in the history of hearthstone AND bm on top of that? Oh, it's on! I'm already mostly playing decks that have good mu's against secret pally to get some more golden heroes so beating them plus some bm is fine by me. If they're particularly obnoxious and I know they're going to win I'll just take my dog outside without conceding or grab a beverage. If I'm going to win I'll rope and then unleash an oil combo or as much overkill as possible. Sometimes I'll trade things I don't need for lethal so he thinks he has a chance. If playing freeze mage I've even put up a block delaying the inevitable a whole turn, good times! 

    Dont  to worry though people, you really have to deserve it for me to be a dick to you so it probably won't happen to you. Right?

    posted a message on Limited dust, which deck to build?

    Hunter, zoo and believe it or not, control priest atm are all fairly cheap decks to craft and are all solid. I personally disagree with the people that say focus on one class. Metas are constantly changing and settling and sometimes the meta that sticks around can be particularly hostile to 1 deck. Right now for example, Handlock and control warrior are dropping in the tier rankings, those decks aren't any weaker than they used to be but the most popular decks right now aren't good matchups, so their ranking drops. Imagine that you dusted every other card to make a Handlock deck and then the meta becomes aggro shaman, now you only have a weak deck to play. My best advice would be to be patient, don't worry about your rank, just have fun, learn the game and slowly build your collection.

    posted a message on How deep is the legend dumpster
    Quote from Thyndd >>

    I agree with you, the legend dumpster is the heaven! For those who think it's not worth it to get legend only for a cardback, they should give it a try at least for the experience of playing at (low) legend ranks, where people are not tryharding with cancer decks and they're still good players. Legend dumpster is how HS should be everywhere.

    Regarding the topic, I've seen people at 10k on EU, dunno if it gets any deeper D:

     I wish this were the case but I find that when you're in dumpster ranks you end up getting matched up with ranks 1-3 non-legend. Those are THE try hard ranks where you find pali's and other meta decks.

    posted a message on Why do people hate Secret Paladin so much?

    I already had a thread locked today referring to it as "Idiot Paladin" and I will continue to call it that. I didn't used to hate it as much as I do right now but the last two days over 50% of my matchups have been against it. Instead of playing different decks to rank up like I usually do, I now have to only play decks that at least have a decent matchup against that stupid deck.

    It is incredibly annoying to play against, it takes 0 skill to play the deck and it's a strong deck. It is the deck I hate most in the history of hearthstone and I usually win against it. I would normally never BM in a game but if you play idiot paladin I will rope you. I also refuse to say well played against it even though I say it after every match, you didn't play well, the deck played itself.

    posted a message on Combo druid dont succed to legend

    Renolock and freeze are heavily favored matchups. If you can get to rank 2 with it you can get to legend, you're just facing a bad stretch. It's not the deck.

    posted a message on Is the lack of Rogue because it is hard to play?

    I would absolutely agree that it's the reason. The majority of players play the strongest deck that is easiest to play. At this moment it's easy because the #1 ranked deck happens to be mind numbingly easy to play (secret Pali).  At rank 5 right now that is the majority of what I'm seeing and being the end of the month I don't expect it to change. 

    As for your second question, I would say that rogue is the hardest class to play in general, especially miracle and Malyrogue. They are two of my favorites but I'll admit that I'm no master myself.

    posted a message on How good is Vol'Jin right now?

    Vol'jin is a great card. I think the main reason you don't see it in every list is people playing the new cards more but once some of the shininess wears off he'll be included in more lists. A lot of CP have cut all legendaries except for justicar and they rely on curator and entomb to supply their late game. Who knows if that is truly optimal or if we start to see hybrids with some of the old staple legends and some of the new toys. Time will tell. You might want to hold off for a little while just to see what shakes out but I don't think you'll regret crafting Vol'jin so do what makes you happy.
