WOKE UP IN THE DESERT AGAIN
Oh- I think Sketchy Trickster is strong in thief rogue. Discovering off-class cards is clutch, and since its neutral it gives you something to do on turn 2 while continuing to discount your Gnolls.

edit: like IMPORTER SHOULD BE YOU MONSTERS

Alright, I'm doing it. Let this post mark the beginning of my Jackpot adventures.



Triple Windfury!

They conceded on T6.

I'm dying of lols here. I played Topple the Idol four times to keep clearing an Imp Warlock's board, then I played Celestial Alignment and on the next turn I drew Theotar and stole their 18-point Denathrius, prompting an instant concede.

In the previous game I got the T3 Divine Toll against my Rogue opponent's empty board, too. Hearthstone hasn't been this much fun in years. Please tell me Theotar isn't going to get nerfed!

The last time we had an effect like this was with Illucia, but that nerf was more because Priest aggro was using it to force their opponents to have a round where they could do nothing and Illucia's ability to function in any other deck was collateral damage. Theotar doesn't have that problem, so he's probably fine.

Turns out Murloc Control Shaman's battlecry shenanigans and cheap minions pair really, really well with Denathrius.

Yeah he allows you to brute force a lot of control matchups just throwing his battle cry x 3 at the opponent for 40-60 on turn 11

Agree. It reminds me of Treant Druid, especially in the way that the silence all/enemies effects don't really slow it down.

Yeah, I think if anything they'll do one of those perception nerfs because it makes people extremely pissy. I love its comedy value but I do also genuinely think it's a healthy card to have in the meta, with a similar use case to Mutanus.

Yeah. Can even pull that off earlier with the new Kael since you've got Piranhas, discounted Murlocs, Naga students a possible 0-1 mana second minions.

Or Bolner if you want to spend one more mana for a lot more damage.

It was going to happen sooner or later. I didn't even feel anything, just a chuckle and a "the hell".

he had leaper, 2 rats, ghastcoiler, croc, baron, one other I can't remember. APM pirates with fat stats just refused to smack the baron, he kept getting multiple resets in the order he needed. at some point pirate kills the ghastcoiler, the mobs were selfless and yet another rat. previous mob dies and sent its leaper charges to the rat, next attack kills the selfless, shielding the 2 non-baron minions remaining. THEN the baron dies, but the rat popped and sent more leapers flying, and that's how you get 1.2% lethal

The perks are tied to battlegrounds "seasons" from now on instead of expansion releases, so they should last until the next big battlegrounds patch

I did not expect much out of Topior and was a little irritated that he was one of my Golden cards but it turns out (at least in Token Hell Denathrius Druid) that he's pretty great. I like having a hand full of nothing and still being able to swing the board back.

XL skelly mage is slowly becoming my fav deck ever. I think overall the meta has quite a solid fun foundation, a few buffs to the terrible classes so it's not just RPS of warlock, mage and druid and we're gucci.

I think we're already out of that 3-way meta. Priest (both Quest and Naga/Wig) is going pretty well and Control Shaman is very strong.

I mean you're trading an increased winrate against those decks (assuming you hit the big Infuse cards), in exchange for a worse match up against everything else. Immolate is bad friend.

It's like Evolve Shaman is great against skelly mage and implock, but if it loses to everything else, not worth playing unless of course those two decks constitute a large large part of the meta.

It's basically a Dane list, but it slaps.

Is neptulon the problem? Or is it getting it (or multiples of it) on turn 2-4 via illusionist that's the problem?

Honestly, yeah.

Even from hand Neptulon is the best 10, but it being cheatable turns it turbo busted.

I watched one of his games against Control Shaman where they Denathrius'd him four times, including a Bolner/Bran/Bird combo, and he survived safely because he had a really chunky board. He then mentioned it was one of the things about the deck, that it can assemble high-HP boards quickly, I think with the Amulets and armor gain and stuff.
