Yeah Wild is full of those Warlocks. Not even worth playing unless you get the combo off first.

Just a PSA for those that still don't know; if a Paladin has Reckoning active, and Samuro has three or more attack, Reckoning will kill him before the Frenzy goes off. I just beat 2 Priests in a row that didn't know that so lol.

Turns out Vol'jin's pretty fun even if quilboars are banned. Just make sure you have mechs, elementals, and demons Also had my most intense 1v1 game ever. Top 2 lasted 3-4 rounds of divine shield standoff.

I've been climbing the ranks with my dirty net deck face hunter. Seems to be working alright at the moment, worth picking up the mini-set? Or should I wait until some things shake out?

I don't know what the current flavour for a Celestial Alignment deck is, but this is what I saw Thijs playing and it's pretty bonkers. Lady Anaconda makes most of your spells 0 mana once you ramped and played Celestial Alignment. Then you draw all of your deck, re-ramp along the way, gain a lot of armor and go for an easy C'thun setup by drawing all your spells with Malygos if need be. This is my first run with it, including a glorious Solar Eclipse into Innervate misplay, seems good. 8 turns  https://hsreplay.net/replay/Wjdjh3E2ZHqmdzcA7sXnVe ### Celestial Lady # Class: Druid # Format: Standard # Year of the Gryphon # # 2x (0) Innervate # 2x (0) Lightning Bloom # 2x (1) Nature Studies # 2x (2) Guess the Weight # 2x (2) Lunar Eclipse # 1x (2) Solar Eclipse # 2x (3) Feral Rage # 2x (3) Wild Growth # 2x (4) Overgrowth # 1x (6) Forest Warden Omu # 2x (6) Gadgetzan Auctioneer # 1x (6) Lady Anacondra # 2x (6) Nourish # 2x (7) Celestial Alignment # 2x (8) Cenarion Ward # 1x (9) Malygos the Spellweaver # 1x (10) C'Thun, the Shattered # 1x (10) Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate # AAECAeSiBAaj0QOd2AOK4AO/4APk7gO1igQM6LoDm84D8NQDieADpOED0eEDwOwDiZ8Erp8E2p8EoKAEuKAEAA== # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone mcbexx fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Jun 4, 2021 |

For me, if I am still winning games and having fun, I usually don't feel that I need to run out and acquire every card that comes out. It is a personal decision though, whether you enjoy playing with the newest cards vs. min-maxing your gold and dust (and $$) towards the cards and decks you want to play.

I've been trying to craft a C'Thun Priest that actively seeks to draw and discount the pieces to close out the game fast(ish), but so far it seems that the ultramarathon N'Zoth deck is better.GTO posted:This has got the potential for some crazy plays but I'm 1 for 6 so far and the one was against another celestial alignment druid...

Been loving around with the basic rear end Outcast formula deck in Casual and it's not even aggro and people will just quit after turn 3 or 4. Bizarre.

I've never made it to Diamond and would like to try and get there (although I'm not too dedicated to that). I figured my best chances of getting there would be to have new newest meta.

Are Dunk Tanks really worth excluding Kazakus for?

IMO Kazakus is better. For a tempo shaman, corrupting a 4 cost is a fairly tall order - I felt like it was a dead card more often than not.

Flayer posted:Are Dunk Tanks really worth excluding Kazakus for? Yes. Playing a 3/3 on turn 4 is silly when you want to have a strong opening in a tempo deck. Deck I posted is often playing a 5 or 6 mana minion on turn 4 due to lightening bloom. I specifically ran very few spells to reliably draw it and have a lightening bloom turn early to corrupt dunk tank.

I haven't seen this myself but the wiki entry suggests it's based on order of play. both the deathrattle and avenge trigger at the same time, viz. when a friendly minion dies. if the possessed villager was played first, its deathrattle finishes first and avenge has a target; if avenge was played first, it has no friendly minion to target and so doesn't fire.

Yeah, maybe that's the difference, the decks I've been playing are less top heavy and don't run lightning bloom, so you want to be closing out games by the time that a corrupted dunk tank is relevant.

I read it and it suggests that Avenge will never proc on a single minion even if it summons another on death, regardless of play order. However, if there are multiple minions on the board (including one with a deathrattle that summons) and all of them die simultaneously, it can trigger on the summon depending on the minion play order. Because, I guess, the conditions for Avenge to proc were met initially. Is that what happened in this case? If Possessed Villager was the only minion and it procced, I feel like that's a bug. If it was one of several cleared at the same time, it's just a weird interaction quirk that can happen sometimes.

Joink posted:Full on tempo elementals is pretty good. btw, a general concept for Shaman deckbuilders: You can safely slot Mankrik into the tempo-based lists, since giving up an Elemental in hand is worth an automatic 3/7 on board + 3 face. This is gonna be way more powerful than things like Costumed Entertainer for example.

I can own a card and not have a clue what it actually does unless I exit the game and go to an unofficial wiki? there's already a "more" popup for corrupted cards and new hero powers and stuff. do that but more!

Sometimes you get a draw so good that you kinda feel bad about.  The results was a mere 7 damage of overkill. And they play a taelen and lifesteal spells and got a couple soul fragments

Here's the replay: https://hsreplay.net/replay/FmDUFfVFfot8mWzQuEhJr3 Turn 2. I run a hyena into the villager, it's the only minion on their board, it dies, deathrattles, then the secret procs. The villager was played before the secret, so I guess it had priority to resolve.

World War Mammories posted:ahh, that would make sense. I think it just comes down to that being an additional expense, and for 99% of the interactions in the game it's obvious what's going to happen. You get the occasional weirdo interaction like the ones upthread or explosive runes with divine shielded minions, but everyone figures them out quickly enough and the only real negative effect is salty posts on reddit. On the other hand, if you had official documentation, that's probably at least a full time staff member along with increased load on the internationalization team to translate all your rules. And if you're documenting to the level of errata that it would cover things like this Avenge interaction, that's a non-trivial amount of work actually just figuring out how the game actually does work so you can document it properly (and there's zero chance any rulebook would be considered more authoritative than the actual game)

The Avenge card text is hosed anyway. Says whenever a friendly minion dies, but it only works if your minion dies on your opponents turn. Can't trade a minion in to buff another one.
