Yeah, with Rogue especially I feel like a good first treasure is super important. Just have to keep re-rolling until I get something that looks like it will carry.

I've been running through each heroic chapter with every class on and the Rogue in Violet Hold is the brick wall I've been beating my head against for three days. Most of my runs with Eudora fail around boss #6 or 7. Sometimes I get to #8 and lose to the voidlord or the eyeball (only ones I've gotten). I must've done around twenty runs at this point, every combination of hero power and deck, including random.

Does anybody have any tips for what buckets to look out for or how to build a rogue deck that works? It's only Violet Hold that is giving me trouble with Rogue, I've taken Eudora through the other two chapters just fine. Any advice would be welcome.

Put him in a Druid token deck and have him recast all the buff and summoning cards.

I'm not sure if I understand the OP's complaint - is he pretending that Blizzard promised that the new set wouldn't have support for Aggro, and by printing additional support for Imps, Murlocs and Token Druid, Blizzard is breaking their promise, thereby "cheating" him?

If so, his complaint seems lacking in merit - Blizzard didn't make any such claim, and none of the reveals over the past two weeks could reasonably be interpreted as an implicit promise to forgo support for Aggro; indeed, prior to the concluding livestream, they had already revealed a considerable amount of support for two of the three decks the OP is pretending to be upset about. It also seems unlikely that the OP can honestly be surprised that Hearthstone is printing a bunch of Murlocs, since they always print a bunch of Murlocs.

Of course, if the OP nevertheless feels cheated, I'd strongly advise him to forgo playing HS, as well as stop posting on casual fan-sites devoted to the game. In any event, I hope he finds the courage to recover from the trauma which the livestream has clearly caused him.

 I like your jury-like ars oratoria. It makes you sound like some very intelligent person.

That said, I was only pointing out how, this time around, Blizzard released 95% of the aggro support cards on the final stream.

Nobody can argue that all the cards reveal seemed to point in a different direction. They always somehow did it, agreed, but never to this extent.

Bye everyone.

Geez, man. The initial topic, the post title, your responses to people... you are stoking one hell of a victim mentality here. Let me reassure you, Blizzard's actions are not directed at you as a person. You one of hundreds of thousands, lost in a sea of humanity. They don't even see you.

USE LUBE WHEN YOU FUCK LIFESTEAL, IT'S VERY DRY IN THERE

But then you think, "I could make this better by replying to saltiest comments with snark". It's good to set goals!

Not to worry! I've done a quick Google and so far as I can tell, this is the first CCG to be titled Rise of Shadows. Originality intact!

As for whether it's dumb or not, we'll have to wait and see if it can talk. Perhaps they'll release an interview with the name and we can confirm it's dumbness.

It's so misogynistic! Why not la megabundle? 

No, see, it's poetry. It rhymes.

Yeah! Fuck it! Whooo! Down with the system! Now go start a car fire and throw some trash cans through pizzeria windows. That'll learn 'em!

As it's casual though, I find it weird to rage quit. You are not playing a tier 1 deck after all. I think that people are generally dissatisfied with their lives (and it's normal), therefore they attach value to stupid things. Like, winning at Hearthstone for example. And when you deprive them of possibility to get that value, you get salt.

Interesting. That's a downer thought for sure.

I've been spending most of my time recently in Standard Casual with a Priest deck focused around card copying. Unless I'm facing a balls to the wall aggro deck, I have a reasonably good chance of winning. There is no win condition in the deck itself, I must copy my opponent's.

What I've been noticing is that when I do win with my op's win condition, I hardly ever get to actually finish the game. More often than not, I get a rage quit. From my perspective, I got really lucky and had some fun and just happened to win with a stupid deck, but my ops obviously have a different view.

It's been happening so much recently that I thought I would get the community's sense of things. What is so rage inducing about losing to a copy deck that they can't just concede, they must close the client?

 First of all don't jump to any conclusions, you're playing on casual so people will just concede without a  super solid reason, there's no punishment and/or drawback on doing so there.

Conceding I could understand, I do it all the time. But closing the client is not conceding, it's something I only ever do when I'm frustrated or angry. And one or two disconnects I could understand, but I have been getting so many lately.

After that, people are not mad because "they're losing to their decks", if that would be the case then everyone would rage quit on mirror match-ups as soon as they are slightly behind. The problem with stealing decks is that they're random and people hate losing against random shit that is highly variable, even with priest cards that steal only cards that the opponent is playing, it's still random. What I mean by this is for example, imagine you're playing against Deathrattle hunter, how different the game would be if you steal an egg, a couple activators and lets say a shaw (just to name some good cards) and then on another game you get 2 candleshots and a kathrena (you obviously have no beasts on your deck to pull). Even if your steal pool is somehow controlled it's still random and you can simply brick and get rekt.

People just absolutely hate losing to random stuff that neither player really has control of... And can you blame them? There have been games were I'm in a super dominant position and my opponent just bullshits their way through with sommething insanely lucky and you just feel like skill played such a little role that you just feel borderline cheated. And even with this "controlled RNG" cards that priest has it's still down to luck. There's your answer my man. 

I guess so, but to me, that's what Casual is for: embracing the RNG because who cares, it's not like it's ladder or anything. I see your point, though. When I'm on Casual I'm there to relax and screw around, I reflexively believe others are there for the same reason.

Because it's a taunt whether it's meant to be or not. It's saying, "I'm so good, i played the cards you picked better than you did."

I understand that's not what you mean, but it can be interpreted that way.

 It's funny, my friend said something like this. I hadn't considered it before.
