It's a warrior deck that can build an overwhelming force of 3/x Grim Patrons with charge. The Grim Patron itself is a 3/3 that, when it takes damage it calls another grim patron. To beat it easily you either need to have full board clear or just all creatures with 3 attack or more.

It's not an instant win. I've beaten purchased grim patron decks with basic hunter and rogue decks. But I've also seen a grim patron deck rip through a priest deck I was having good success with by demolishing the 1/3 and 2/7 creatures that the priest deck depended on.

JesustheDarkLord posted:

Grim Patron is a neutral 5 cost 3/3 that spawns another Grim Patron when it survives damage. The best deck right now is a warrior deck that sets up a combo to give them charge and uses a frothing berserker that gains attack when any minion is damaged to kill in one turn dealing like 60 damage.

Huh? I have no clue what these mean. These posts make me think that just playing the coolest looking cards first is the wrong way to play.

Real talk why not just assign everyone a number and let a random number generator determine the order?

Because it would be funnier to watch someone get last seed when they queue up freeze mage vs controll warrior, mostly.

We've always done novel versions of this. The last few years, it's been a random number generator picking a NASCAR driver and the outcome of a race.

There's got to be a better choice than this though.

It really isn't bad. The only thing you can do differently is wholly use the random number generator, but that's a lot less entertaining than rooting for a sport that few of us actually give a poo poo about.

Could pick a different sport, like golf, but that's the same deal.

Sorry this is a little late but I definitely want back in. Surprisingly it was not my Northwestern players that dragged me to last-ish place last year but pretty much everyone else (and the bomb being dropped of Venric Mark transferring shortly before we drafted). Hopefully I've learned something about drafting, but I doubt it.

On the one hand, my team would be better if I didn't just draft a bunch of Penn State players. On the other hand, I can't stand not to have at least a few PSU players on my team.

Yeah, I'm lucky that ttu usually has a good offense as i can't not draft someone from the team.

Komet

PSU has been hit or miss on offense. That year I was runner up, I think, was 2012, when Bill O'Brien was coach and no-name Allen Robinson got a poo poo ton of points. I think I even ended up picking up Matt McGloin in the second half of the season.

This draft is going to be interesting with respect to gambling on the potential Ohio State quarterback.
