TURGID TOMFOOLERY posted:What’s enrage warriors plan vs Galakrond Rogue? That’s the only matchup I’m having trouble wrapping my head around. This is where the eggless version shines, because you can just steal wins with an Injured Tolvir opener. Warmaul Challenger also keeps the early board clear past Rogue's comfort level. It is an even matchup though, since they have a huge highroll ceiling. If they try to go wide a small Risky Skipper turn will punish. Don't overcommit vs Sap/Blackjack, as a single Rampage on whatever is big enough to outclass their minions. Play smart vs Ambush (i.e. have a cache-weapon equipped before playing something), and since they can't heal you peck away at their life total until they are dead to any small charge combo Here's a standard-ish game without high-rolls, no crazy skipper or combos, but the opponent seems to have every answer, yet we can still respond https://hsreplay.net/replay/qseMVLkfVPyQU6bXZLPS8G And here's just one way you can crush them even vs. a Turn 4 on the play 8/8 Edwin: https://hsreplay.net/replay/kdcakMTy2MZQoEGteKtkdb And this is one where Turns 5-8 I had to recalculate my strategy due to my topdeck: Turn 5 is a board clear with card draw, Turn 6 is mana reduction calculations to punish leaving Skipper up, Turn 7 is establishing a tempo board, and Turn 8 is doing combo lethal calculations. This would be a good one showing why the deck is pretty hard to play https://hsreplay.net/replay/WjnDvGSEjG2Qb4GEEnUQKJ

Weird/random question: Does anyone use Hearthstone Deck Tracker, and if so have you had any issues with it constantly loving installing Chromium? Recently I have started having this show up and I don't know why. I normally consider myself pretty good and careful with malware etc and I can't think of anything I might be running that causes it. I had been blaming my son but recently I was playing HS and out of nowhere a cmd window popped up and Chromium started installing.

Hit legend yesterday with standard non-highlander Gala rogue ft. Hanar with 2x ambush 1x the other secrets 67% winrate on my climb, demon hunter was 45% of my total games so I was always pitching everything looking for backstabs and seal fates Hanar was quite often just played on 2 to soak eye beams and twin slices so I could actually stick poo poo and contest board Every single demon hunter I faced played the raging felscreamer/priestess of fury list which I am actually glad of since it was always super telegraphed I would probably have had a harder time Vs the smaller lighter list that runs beaming sidekick and double freeze because making satyr overseer/Altruis 4+ health is loving scary PS Spymistress owns and should be in every rogue deck, having it sat there stealthed denies a lot of early game tempo for your opponent PPS weapon removal is a trap, good job you played a bloodfen raptor that removed a 3/1 warglaive that already killed 2 minions and did 3 to face. It was good back when people were greedy and conserved charges but they don't do that any more Beasteh fucked around with this message at 11:01 on May 7, 2020 |

So with hunter decks I feel like every time I include tracking it’s always the worst and I always just get to choose between like my three best cards, thus killing the other two. Do I just need to get over it? Why is this a good card

The way to think about tracking is that it's 1 mana draw an answer As hunter you should generally never be going to fatigue so you wouldn't have seen the other 2 cards anyway Never play tracking early, it's best lategame

I honestly do not really like Tracking, because I don't like discarding in general. In combos you might trash important cards, in general you might just lose something that you would want to have. It's not bad, of course, but I just don't really enjoy the mechanic. Doesn't mean I wouldn't use it, it saved my rear end quite a few times. Also, last night against a classic bomb warrior (what the hell, right) I managed to track Bomb, Maiev, Bomb. Not the hardest decision of all time.

Tracking is one of those cards that I know is good and I know "losing" the two cards only matters if we're going to fatigue but it still feels bad to play imo

Read tracking as “Discover a card in your deck. Draw it.” instead of whatever else it says.

On one hand, this may be one of the worst environments to use Tracking, as Hunter has two top-tier tutoring effects (Phase Stalker and Scavenger's Ingenuity), i.e. things that actually don't care about cards being on the bottom of the deck but DO care if they are removed from your deck. On the other hand, Tracking is still one of Hunter's best cards, since after you've thinned the deck and tutored to your liking, you can go even further and remove those 1-drops and early game plays, making your topdecks very robust to have high impact (find face damage for lethal). Tracking is like a 100% Spike card, where the joy playing it comes from incremental advantage gained from optimizing statistical percentages. It plays differently and has different roles in all current Hunter decks: Face Hunter, Dragon Hunter, Highlander Hunter, and weird unicorn OTK Hunters.

Tracking owns. Don’t listen to the goon who said never play it early. Play it when you have the spare mana or play it when the options in your hand aren’t great. Hunter has to be mana efficient. Play tracking. Due to warriors being everywhere now I switched from highlander to dragon hunter to finish the legend climb (staying hunter since I’m 50 short of the 1000 win portrait). I have picked up more hate friend requests in the past week than the previous several months combined because I’m running boars and scavengers ingenuity. Except my luck is bad and I always draw the boars first. But I’ve also got exact lethal several times with the 1/1 version! People HATE losing to that boar.

I started playing HS a little while after the Grim Patron decks, but it seems like Warrior has had a lot of the "tough to pilot" decks now and in the past. Which is odd since, from a lore standpoint, it's probably the class with the least brains.

Control warrior was only hard to pilot for control warrior players As I understand it Grim Patron was infamous in part because 30% of the time you had to play it like a tempo deck where you just made patrons on 5 and nobody below high ranks really understood that (twitch wasn't as big back then) so you'd get these preposterous splits between low rank winrate and high rank winrate which made it the stuff of legends. But yeah GP had a lot of whirlwind effects and sequencing on top of that which made it extra extra hard, and frothing math was unbelievably complicated.

Patron was also hard (and strong) because you were almost always two turns and a good draw from lethal. IF you played the right cards in the right sequence. Or you tempo them to death and forget the big combo turns. Sometimes with the path evolving during the game. I think my overall WR was 50% or worse but it was certainly fun.

It's kind of shocking how strong that Dormant Murloc card Paladin can be as a turn 1 play. I've been using Kibler's Dragon Murloc list (AAECAZ8FAoOhA/y4Aw7FA9sDpwivpwPKqwOQrgOorwP+sAOFsQPIuAPJuAP2uAP7uAPKwQMA) and I think my winrate with playing that on turn 1 is something like 75-80% after 15 games.

There may be fringe cases where your hand is absolute garbage and you just want something to play but the vast majority of the time, tracking on turn one or just to use spare mana is terrible. Terrible is a strong word for 1 mana draw a card in the class with the least amount of card draw

There may be fringe cases where your hand is absolute garbage and you just want something to play but the vast majority of the time, tracking on turn one or just to use spare mana is terrible. Excluding highlander where I would agree with this, dragon/aggro really want to drop a minion on t1, so if tracking is all you got, your hand is already sub par. Unless you have the literal perfect hand otherwise, you can use it to make your hand better. A better 2 drop, your missing 3 drop. The dragon you need to activate your synergy cards. Game breaking cards like the dragon hammer that you can’t hunt for on t3 because you have an ok t3 play already. Hunter is in command of the game until he’s not. I’d rather solidify my control of the game instead of hunt for answers later. Edit: also I said early not just t1. Same goes for if you’re using the 2 mana dragon nuke on t3. it’s not like I mulligan for tracking or something. I just play it I have it. OTOH I agree with you on Zephrys. Unless I’m playing vs aggro I don’t keep in hand and always hold for the big answer play.

Also Turn 4 I would have valued keeping the 1/2 Warmaul on board over 2 health on your Bloodboil Brute, especially with the 2nd Bloodboil in hand. - 1/4 attacks 2/2 - Play Bloodboil for 4, attack 4/2 - then Inner Rage opponent's 2/1 Next turn you still had the same options, or could have done Skipper + Bomb Wrangler + 1 mana Bloodboil Brute, gaining a billion armor and adding bombs onto the board a turn sooner (and not requiring the Sky Raider topdeck next turn to have a skipper turn).
