Easy brawl. Killed my opponent on turn 6. Didn't get a pack, though.
this actually happened to me on my first go at this today. i kept trying to "oops" my partner whenever they hit my face with damage or destroyed my minions, but they *really really really* didn't get it. i was... so frustrated >.<
truly and honestly, you need to use a deck that you know very very very VERY well, that you can pilot in any situation. that's gonna be different for everyone, so no one can *help* you in that respect. so ask yourself, what's a class you enjoy that you know you can win with? unfortunately in the current meta, some classes are... not very good, so that sucks. but, for example, i think most rogue and warrior decks can a) counter shaman and b) get you to legend this season. OR you can just play evolve shaman like every one else and reach legend that way. the past two seasons, i played rogue to get to legend, so i can assure you that's probably the best way to go.
Duels is garbage. It’s ruined by the fact that aggro decks demolish the early matches. This forces you to play aggro or never regress. Seeing mages up until 5 wins just shows how lazy and stupid hearthstone has become. After 5 wins it’s all priest high rollers. Battlegrounds is the best mode. Once blizzard fully monitizes battlegrounds this game is dead.
^ this, all of it. i'm so preemptively depressed for the day that blizzard monetizes battlegrounds. but yeah, duels is just... not that fun. it's like a more frustrating standard. all the same classes and decks at high ranks with high rolls that are blinding.
Interesting interaction: Hunter's Mark reduces Killimox's health by two, but does not actually set the health to one when buffed.
I noticed this, and also Wave of Apathy reduces its attack to 1, but does not cancel the buff. So it ends up having an attack of 1+whatever amount of buff. AND I also once tried to copy this with Faceless Manipulator, but for some reason that didn't work. FM just got destroyed immediately and I have no idea why.
So I've been seeing a lot of posts about Tickatus recently (even made one myself on it's card page) but after having then gotten the card from level 25 in the tavern pass and played with it myself, it kind of feels like people are actually being a bit too dramatic? Or at least, we have a very vocal minority here.
It's reasonable to say that a majority of my games i haven't even been able to play tickatus - including a lot of my wins - and i still lose just as many games after playing him as i win. In this pretty aggro meta we seem to have forming, he's not anything insane.
Again, this is just my experience, but it really don't feel like the game breaking card everyone says it is.
That doesn't change the fact that it's effect really isn't a healthy one for the game, but still, it shouldn't be outright nerfed, because then it would just be bad - some kind of rework would be perfectly fine. Or just leave it like it is, which is honestly what I'm expecting Blizzard to do.
Yeah, I haven't had any significant problems playing against Tickatus. I win some, I lose some - and probably more of the former.
Most recent Tickatus Warlock I faced milled ten of my cards, including my reassembled C'Thun, the Shattered, and then domed me for 10 with Y'Shaarj, the Defiler while I had Eye for an Eye up. Allowed me to finish him off with a Pyroblast to the face. You know, all those cards you expect to see in Rogue... ;)
How does one become a paid Blizzard spy? Asking for a friend :)
no, it is by applying to be a blizzard community manager. These are the people whose job it is to convince you that the game is good and you should spend money on it.
I say the same goes for the solo adventures achievements too. They're not fun enough to play through a second time just to get the achievement. Moreover, even when you do finish it, it says it grants you a card pack, but actually does not. Which is also just... ugh.
FFS from diamond 10 to 5 all I see are DHs and Paladins, every day for the last 4 days.
This shit it's sooooo boring.
if it makes you feel worse, it's the same thing from diamond 5 to 1. >.<
^ which, coincidentally, is also my salt of the day. i have their decklists essentially memorized at this point. why does everyone play the *exact* same deck? i don't get it. be original.
i just feel like if you've been holding Hagatha's Scheme the whole game, why would you even bother with this? By turn 6, Scheme would be a stronger clear anyway. :/
Libram paladin really needs a nerf, having 0 cost spells that come back to their hand, that they can just get back with lady liadrin if you finally manage to silence both copies x 10. I also think lady liadrin shouldn't be allowed to give spells that are cast on friendly CHARACTERS, what bullshit is that? You should only get the heal summon 8/8 divine shield minion if you've cast it on a minion, at least that way you have to sacrifice safety to gain it back again. The spells are already bs broken and pure paladin is one of the most dominant decks right now, even league of legends patches shit like this out faster than billion dollar company blizzarddivision
this x1000, i'm so so so so so over libram paladin, ESPECIALLY because of Lady Liadrin.
I've been playing a control Shaman variant with a lot of board clear and healing and it smashes aggro, especially Hunter and Soul DH. Hagatha's Scheme by turn 4 with coin or turn 5, followed by Witch's Brew on turn 6 to heal most of the damage you took usually forces hunter to auto-concede. And then there's good ol' Torrent for Dragonsbane. And if things get messy again, Tidal Wave to clear their next board AND heal. It's so satisfying.

REALLY wish they would've called it this.

my guess is to fill the opponent's hand with all those cheap spells/bananas.
my question is though, what's the game plan in general? why no yogg?
