Is Corridor Creeper Still Any Good?
Good luck to Trolden!
I have seen so many different decks since the patch. This latest round of nerfs might be the best ever.
Really loving the variety I'm seeing of late.
Is it sarcasm ? It must be...
Well there are over a dozen of deck archetypes that have over 50% win rate... But Paladin seems to be on the top...
No, it's not sarcasm. It's much better post nerf.
Always like this summery each week.
Also, Kripp's expression is fantastic .. :)
Cut and paste that to the deck opening at the end of Funny & Lucky.
Kripp's face is priceless!
Holy crap, that Corrupted Healbot lethal was insane. Can only imagine the Warlock players reaction when he went from solidly winning the game with no conceivable way of losing to actually losing to Embrace the Shadow...at rank 3.
You can find that deck here "Healbot Otk" made by gunnolf.
