Finally got my Patchwerk first, but it was a dirty win. Dude was running a leapfrog build and I destroyed him the first two matches so he concedes.

Next fight the hits don't go my way and his ghost kills me.

Hey if he ragequits a W is a W. I had a game the other day where it was down to three and the third place player (I was facing him and in second) abruptly threw the waving murloc emote and quit. He shouldn't have since his ghost hit me for 11 and basically left me to my last strike.

I ended up winning that game with a Bristlebach board that constantly refreshed my two Tough Tusks*, and on the final round was able to refresh my Pufferquil's* venom because I found a Glowscale shield cycling through cards. It took 7 full turns including 4 ties to do so because the Patchwerk was running the grandest murloc scam with Mrrglrs, Breams, Belchers, 4 hand minions' worth of Bassgills (the two breams mentioned before and two Rotgills) and a Leeroy to taste. I don't think anything other than the build I bumblefucked into can beat that, and even then I had to luck into a golden Selfless Hero to fully break the deadlock.

*Non-gold! Bristlebach resets wont work if these are gold!

Also won my first offering of Hogger today. First triple was Dealer, second was Dealer, and third Tethys. The Hogger HP synergy is gross with Dealers. Also pretty lucky Tethys didn't abruptly toss me a third Dealer and muck up my board.

One of the recent hotfixes had a fix for the golden tough tusk thing, so it should work now, unless they unfixed a fix again

Oh I'm not too proud to take it. Especially since it leaves with just 15 heroes to 1st and brb to 100% the achievements for BG.

Now be a dear and
fuck the fuck off.
Between Control Priests and Blood DK, both enabled by Renathal, truly this might be one of the laziest fat gently caress metas of all time.
Just 30 cards dedicated to removal then some variety of vague win con based on mostly the opponent being bored enough to leave.

I do wonder if anyone on Team 5 views any game involving these as anything resembling a design success.

Yup unless there's some way to stealth it it's never gonna survive a turn

EDIT: A 6 mana 3/8 that deals 5 damage isn’t bad though, with an upside if it survives a turn.

Just as a heads up — Blizzard is selling pre-built decks for the new format… but it doesn’t seem like they’re very well put-together, just eyeballing them. The Demon Hunter one has Felosophy but Metamorfin as its only Demon; the Druid one has Topior but only Overgrowth for Nature spells (and Jerry Rig Carpenter with no Choose One cards); the Warrior one is a Commencement deck with four creatures (one of which is not a particularly good Commencement hit).

They still might be worth getting just as piles of individually strong cards that you can just buy without having to crack packs or spend dust to get, but it probably isn’t a good idea to try and play them straight out of the box. (If you must, the Paladin one looks pretty solid, with no baffling inclusions or omissions.)

Do you think I posted to this forum because I value your companionship?

I'm guessing Zilliax is returning as a reprint in the set since Diamond Zilliax is included in the pre-order bundle. I'm good with that and think he should probably be added to Core forever.

Think I'm more interested in Forge as a mechanic than Titans, which imo feel very similar to Colossals (actually a bit weird they're both in the same rotation).

bravesword
Apr 13, 2012

Silent Protagonist
I don’t really see the comparison to Colossals at all, except in the general sense of “big, expensive legendaries with a unifying mechanic; every class gets one.” The Colossals are largely big swing plays that are tough to clear, while the Titans we’ve seen so far look to be more along the lines of slow value tools that are more forgiving to interact with.

Frankly they remind me more of Magic’s planeswalkers than anything Hearthstone has done in the past.

Looks like the Titans are

Norgannon: Mage
Eonar: Druid
Aggramar: Hunter
Aman’thul: Priest
Golganneth: Shaman
Khazgaroth: Warrior
Sargeras: Warlock
Argus: Demon Hunter

and the 3 odd ones:

The Primus?: Death Knight (I guess the Eternal ones are close enough to Titans)
Amitus: Paladin (New OC Titan)
Unnamed mech Titan?: Rogue (ok sure)

Argus makes a lot of sense for DH, since he was being used to ressurect demons for the Burning Legion - though Sargeras would also work for obvious reasons.

"Welcome to pound town, Slifer slacker!"


There being two classes that need a fel titan thematically and only one actual fel titan is a bit of an issue there, and between DH and Warlock I think Leader of the Burning Legion should probably go to Warlock.

Argus could have gone to DK or DH, but again that leaves one in need of a thematically appropriate Titan and there just isn't a pre-existing one. You could have made a new Sargeras follower, maybe female to go with the new Paladin one.

Or to fit DH's whole thing, have a successfully corrupted fel titan who ultimately turned on Sargeras, could do fel-Azeroth even.

The Primus is a weird choice, but it isn't the weirdest, since the Pantheon of Death are equal to the Pantheon of Titans in power scale theoretically.

It's interesting that Titans are really the first foray Hearthstone is making into the MTG tap for effect world (ok, second if you count locations), especially with the lack of ability to attack until the abilities are used. I thought it would have happened years ago.

Wonder if this is partially a way to test out the mechanic for use in a more general sense.

Demon Hunter should be Aggramar, the Enforcer
Death Knight should be Argus

I'm down for new Titans tbh, we know that there have been deaths amongst the Titans, or at least unborn Titans lost to the Void (and Argus is arguably an unborn Titan lost to Fel Corruption).
