Technically the most disgusting turn 1 would be if you opponent innervated a milhouse manastorm and you had ultimate infestation in your hand.

Worst case would be a 1/1 Wisp and a 2-drop. We also don't know if Devolving missiles will hit a 0-cost minion or not. If it can, you could try this and just devolve the Trogg 3x into some 0-cost.

Gully Foyle posted:Worst case would be a 1/1 Wisp and a 2-drop. You're right, but that's still a bad outcome for investing 4 cards and going into turn 2 with 0 mana (assuming the missiles can't hit a 0 mana cost minion more than once, which they probably can).

I haven't played BGs since the win % addon came in, but whenever I see a streamer with it on, I can't help but wonder - is it actually fully accurate? Especially for some of the complex endgame states, it seems like the probability trees would be absolutely immense. And it seems to just poop out the answer instantly.

Yes, it's accurate, it's a Monte Carlo Tree Search, not an exhaustive simulation, so just like chess engines.

I don't know if Tess is great but wow she's so much fun. Hero power adds an additional strategic layer and is a great way to catch up if you run into a much stronger opponent.

Solarian can cast a puzzle box, but a puzzle box cannot cast another puzzle box, just as nothing else can cast Solarian's battlecry either. This is to avoid unlikely but possible infinite loops and also because it would be crazy.

Blooming Brilliant posted:That's some good design philosophy, that went out the window with original Dragonqueen Yeah, they keep making this mistake over and over. There should be a general rule / design principle that things should never be able to discover or generate themselves, rather than leaving it up to a case by case basis.

Yeah well they are okay with generating the same card over and over again, actual infinite loops where a box casts a box casts a box casts a box endlessly would be straight up game breaking, even with the maximum number of queues hearthstone accepts at like 70. Casting this alone would probably eat up two turns for both. Generating tons of dragons that end up in your hand doesn't do this, so they were whatever. Either way Alexstrasza seems fine. The nerf didn't really kill it as far as I can see, you just might have to wait a turn before playing it, which is usually even better due to dumb priests plague-Ing a single Alex plus the rest of the board instead of waiting for the other dragons to land.

For sure the actual possibilities of infinite loops is way worse, but I don't remember anyone being thrilled about endless chains of Frightened Flunkies (granted, the discover change to not favour class cards helped this a fair bit)

A+ cool hero Tess is like the anti-Rafaam, where the hero gets better the higher MMR you are. However, Tess probably will not make Tier S because I assumed you'd see 7 minions, rather than only seeing X number of minions as limited by your current tavern level. But even so, having 71% or 80% to get that build-around or to spike those triples or even pickup a strong tempo minion is very good. After tanking a game learning the mechanics, I've had nothing but success playing Tess, but again that's mainly because of the lobby strength.

I haven't had any of the new heroes except for Mukla, which I did horribly with - my luck wasn't great, but I still think the hero power isn't quite strong enough to justify spending a coin in the early game (and delaying tiering up / an extra minion / etc.), and in the late game isn't significant enough to be worth much.

Tess: Played twice, first time got extremely unlucky, went against comps that I didn't need and lost early. Second time the same happened but I managed to get a good build off the regular tavern and did okay. I only used the HP to get a triple in the late-ish game. I think she has potential Mukla: Played once, lost super early despite getting a big righteous protector going right away. I lost all interest to play it again. Although I do like the effect he has on the lobby. Brann: Played a few times, seems a bit feast or famine depending on whether you hit key pieces like crowd favorite and Brann. New Aranna: Played several times, I really like her now. Seems really good at getting top 4 now that you can stay at lower tiers for a bit and look for triples and gold grubbers.

I’ve not had a lot of success with Brann. There’s a lot of poo poo battlecries and the higher your tavern gets, the less consistent it is. Mukla I got to play with once and spiked a third place on the back of a big cave hydra. I was proccing bananas early and often, which I don’t know is correct or not. I’m in poor tier so I haven’t gotten to play Tess yet.

Also they have to do something about this murloc poo poo. I was just in a lobby where Noz had Brann, Megasaur, and 5 divine shield / poisonous murlocs on TURN 9. I took 22 to the dome that turn, but managed to sneak into the top 4 anyway. The other two players in the top 4? Also playing murlocs.

With Brann I think you should stay at 3* for a while to get a crowd favorite or two and then try to build a murloc base. If you can find a triple you level to 4 and try to get Brann minion. Mukla seems like a "HP as often as possible" kind of hero but then again I didn't do so well. One interesting thing is that as another player it is not necessarily a good idea to use the bananas right away, you might want to wait to use them on a good minion, but that may also put you at a disadvantage against everybody else if they do use them right away.
