shoutout to my Warlock opponent who didn’t realise that playing the Jailer meant I could bypass their big wall of taunts for lethal

Maybe I should have outplayed my opponent, but having them cast 5 frostwyrm's furies in a row while they're at 4 hp and I have a full board of giant dudes is a little tilting. Anyway, Kangor pally is fun regardless.

Not sure what BBB DK can even do vs a Tony druid who turbos through their deck and goes anub tony jailer Soulstealer to clear Tony gives you back an empty deck, meanwhile the druid is pounding your face in with a buffed hero power and an invincible board if you don't soulstealer At least druid loses to aggro? I think? Maybe?

If the DK hits Jailer, Tony or Anub though, it's kinda over

They really need to make Frostwyrm's Fury "Deal 5 Damage, Freeze 5 Enemy Minions, and summon a 5/5 Frostwyrm" It locking out the entire board is a little much.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:How does Tony Druid work? you ramp up your mana / draw through your deck, while pumping up your hero power with the new minions you make sure you have / can get 5 armor (Chitinous Plating, buffed hero power, etc) you play Anub'rehkan which makes your next 3 minions cost armor instead of mana, and grants 8 armor to work with you play Tony for 5 armor, which swaps the decks you play Jailer for 10 armor, which deletes your (the opponent's, since you've swapped) deck and makes all of your minions immune forever That's the bare bones. At that point if the opponent clears the Immune minions, you will get your deck back and they get the empty deck and start taking fatigue on draw. If they don't or can't, you smack them with an immune 10/10 and 4/6 every turn If you have more armor on the pop-off turn, you can also play Starfish and silence the board, which immediately swap the decks back but keeps your minions Immune Excelzior fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Apr 23, 2023 |

Tempted to tweak all my decks to include some kinda of silence option through E.T.C. because Kangor -> Flesh Behemoth -> Thaddius is just stupid

Excelzior posted:you ramp up your mana / draw through your deck, while pumping up your hero power with the new minions The other, even simpler way to do things is just Play Jailer, Play Tony (can even be in consecutive turns) if you're playing against an opponent who can't clear an immune board it leaves them having to race you with what's in their hand. Jailer followed up by Mosher as a full board wipe is also a pretty common play - Attorney at Maw can even enable this pre-jailer.

If you are ever in a mirror, Jailer on his own is just auto wins vs Druid. They cannot kill it and your perma immune Moshers can kill Zok 4/36 taunts with ease.

Tony druids don’t normally gently caress around with brewmasters right? I just wiped the floor with a very silly one.

I think I have only seen it once early on. It was a hard loss, but I never saw it again while hanging in my low platinum bubble collecting achievements.

That would have a high chance of breaking a Tony druid as you need 3 minions to pop the combo and then ideally a few more to play after the board gets wiped.

Man I played Undead Priest a ton last season and really didn't think it would be playable with Attendant rotating but I was completely wrong. Still can slide under a lot of the slower decks.

Firebert posted:If you are ever in a mirror, Jailer on his own is just auto wins vs Druid. They cannot kill it and your perma immune Moshers can kill Zok 4/36 taunts with ease. Sometimes if I have a bit of a board that the opponent hasn't cleared (Anub, Zok + taunts, Underking, a leftover Mosher...) you just Tony as a tempo play. If they haven't cleared it outright it by then, they're stuck trying to delay your board or use resources to kill your Tony, and your deck isn't going to help their draws. Did that vs. a mage earlier and drew a Pyroblast with Tony's finale, went right into the mage's face the next turn for lethal.

Has anyone else found battlegrounds to be really stingy lately? Like being the only person playing a tribe, rushing 6 and never finding a 6 drop from that tribe? Or never getting a golden copy of a core piece for your build? Like it always sucks to get squeezed out of the pieces you need to pop off but usually there's at least other players chasing those pieces.

Had my first 9-win arena run yesterday! Deck was Death Knight. 1x (1) Dredger Staff 1x (1) Heart Strike 1x (1) Noxious Cadaver 1x (2) Audio Medic 1x (2) Necrotic Mortician 2x (2) Plague Strike 3x (2) Unholy Frenzy 1x (2) Vicious Bloodworm 1x (3) Arcanite Ripper 1x (3) Blightfang 2x (3) Chillfallen Baron 1x (3) Darkfallen Shadow 1x (3) Rowdy Fan 1x (3) Ymirjar Deathbringer 1x (4) Coilfang Constrictor 2x (4) Construct Quarter 1x (4) Nerubian Swarmguard 1x (4) School Teacher 1x (5) Army of the Dead 2x (5) Corpse Bride 1x (5) Gangplank Diver 1x (5) Infectious Ghoul 1x (6) Gnome Muncher 1x (7) Patchwerk Felt mostly effortless. Loads of removal and ways to keep minions on the board. Three losses came to two other Death Knights and, out of nowhere, a Shaman.

Math You posted:Has anyone else found battlegrounds to be really stingy lately? Yeah, even the pros have been getting really pissy about this buddy meta (I hang out on the competitive discord). The minion pool is the most bloated it's ever been, especially at T6, so you have even less of a chance to hit the card you want, the highrolls have gotten dramatically higher, and buddy play patterns make a lot of heroes nonviable at higher levels. Like, if you don't have scaling online by turn *6*, you're probably looking at 5th place at best. At least on NA, battlegrounds is extremely hostile to anyone who can't find/isn't playing tempo.

The Lord Bude posted:I also think that totem shaman is Better vs blood DK than the current stats suggest. The original list VS posted had a weird murloc package with clownfish which has been dropped in favour of bloodlust and ancestral knowledge and IMO that makes the deck much better vs blood. I’ve been able to do pretty well vs blood DK with my totem shaman. I really struggle with totem shaman against blood DK. Feels like I'm just walking into board clear after board clear. Really hoping blood DK gets a solid nerf real soon.

Buddies (and quests to a lesser degree) would be fun for a short period of time but I hate them being around for so long, they completely ruin the game. The only two times I have quit battlegrounds have been during buddies.

I keep finding myself going back to just playing pure paladin. The original list from the launch of the expansion that’s focused around silver hand recruits, not the newer one that’s more divine shield oriented.

I like how there's just the Death Knight icon for nerfs I hope it's a change to how they discover cards because like I said in a previous post, they should not have good access to discover when their cards are about powerful effects that can't be in the same deck EDIT: https://twitter.com/hsdecktech/status/1650908971916759041?s=46&t=gOYyK8X5XayDtYCO0ogitQ oh please oh please oh please

Im not sure how they're going to achieve that if you restrict DKs to discovering from their rune pool, you make them incredibly consistent given that you will discover from 1/3 or less of an already tiny pool of cards

I could get behind making them unable to Discover certain specific cards (3 rune cards? Scourge?) e : I really feel like it's going to be "can't discover triple rune cards"

Maybe a mana tax? If you're triple blood and discover a frost card, it costs 1 more? Restricting it to just your rune loadout would be awful, I agree, but there are surely other ways of nerfing it

While I like the idea of a tax, it's not in line with their previous changes; they've shown a willingness to simply exclude cards from the Discover pool (like C.N.E. or Bounce Around ft. Garona) because you won't "expect" specific cards from a fundamentally random mechanic like Discover, but an invisible, conditional tax would be too disruptive so I would like that, but I don't expect it.
