    Also an adequate response involves some form of ping on turn 6 which can be incredibly awkward for several classes or just someone lacking the proper hand. Regular mage ping means rest of their turn is locked to 4 mana which might not be good enough for dealing with the 'real' 5 drop and Jandice herself.

    And there i was thinking you meant the card for a second. I was happy to see warshack make a half decent deck with her the other day after losing hope she was going to see play at all :P

    Maybe but the decks are more degenerate though.

    Quote from KingOfKings >>

    I don’t think that Blizzard is actually rigging the match making system. However, I’ve never seen an analysis that attempted to prove that they aren’t. Scrutiny like that is necessary to keep businesses that profit from games of chance honest. The opportunity to rig the game exists, and only independent statistical audit can confirm that isn’t happening. To my knowledge, casinos in the United States have to submit to far more regulation than game companies like Blizzard, even though the Computer gaming industry is far more profitable on the whole. 

    I think it’s incumbent on organizations that gather Hearthstone data, like Vicious Syndicate and HSReplay, to study this question frequently, no tinfoil hat required.

     Thats correct, also while online poker has become problematic in the US lately pokerstars is required to have their RNG algorithms checked on a yearly basis to keep their license in half of the planets countries. Same goes for every similar serious platform obviously.

    Similar rules do not apply to any gaming company anywhere afaik.

    posted a message on So does shaman suck at the moment?

    Vashj seems quite bad in general, and Shattered Rumbler wants to be in a big spell shaman deck that just wont work right now. All the other cards are quite good or have potential, its just not entirely clear what archetypes would be 'the way' but theres a few routes to take. There is a legit totem deck out there, the new evolve cards can build into a fairly viable highroll deck. Lurker is quite often a blizzard with a significant upside. Serpentshrine is probably an auto-include in any shaman (love getting a wild Zixor or Akama out of it especially :p).

    I really want it to be a copy since i love the art and dragon priest wont go toxic playing 4x plague or anything since it has to be a board focused deck if it comes together.

    Yeah probably what pushes dragon hunter into viability right here, the weapon was already insane just too difficult to keep supported.

    posted a message on New Rogue Card - Shadow Sculptor

    In most rogue decks i play my hand is usually too full for this to be good. I think right now it needs to go into exactly the questing/ umbral variant and no others will want to play this until rotation.

    posted a message on Now leaving Hearthstone: Zetalot

    I like zeta alot (haHAA) but to be competely honest if i would have played 1 class exclusively for the last 4 years i would have been out of here a while ago. While the game certainly has issues i feel like its more of a burnout then anything else for him. I generally dislike riot's art style so the runeterra bandwagon gets a pass from me no matter what.

    posted a message on New Card - Exotic Mountseller

    Im testing this girl out in aggro secret paladin that runs 8 secrets + 2x the new twinspell, plus 2x might and 2x kings, and 2x blessing of wisdom for draw. Obviously even then draw is still sometimes an issue, and the 2 acolytes im also running feel questionable, but she does make playing secrets out much much better lategame and you dont feel bad for not activating a spy or blade when on turn 9 you simply put like 11-14 worth of stats out along with secrets.

    posted a message on What's the dumbest addition in this expansion?

    Just because 3 youtube 'personalities' spit out some random ideas about stuff dont mean it should be taken for gospel truth, lmao. All of twitch could call underbelly angler a 2 star card and i could not care less. Either now, or 3 weeks ago, i can recognize things that are good without being sponsored, running a podcast, and being multi top 200 legend.

    If you want to get in depth with your shitty bit of cynicism masking as analysis however, something being worse then token druid does not dismiss it from being a legitimate deck with differing strengths and weaknesses.

    posted a message on The Pepper Thread - Share your good vibes!

    Did i actually see someone phrase 'dumb plot twist'?

    Are you proud for running down a super slow combo deck that cant actually do meaningful things until turn 4 IF it gets lucky?

    Im quite happy i got to beat down several token druids with my memey warlock deck which is, legitimately much harder to play then all of these face aggro/ curvestone decks running around atm because it has to survive constantly, decide when to clear constantly, and evaluate the chances of getting broodmother heals/ rush tokens/ a better hand in general when shuffling. You actually have less clears then druid has refills EVEN with double hellfire, twisting and shadowflame, backhanded calling it easy is beyond stupid.
