It's not a bug. The whole rush thing with Hydralon is a battlecry. Ichman summons beasts, battlecries don't apply. He would be broken as gently caress if battlecries somehow worked with his text.

It’s using a general unholy shell with just one blood rune because patchwerk and gnome muncher are so strong. The corpse generation from Soulbreaker is super important if you want to drop corpse bride and a giant or two on turn 5.

Sorry been a bit since I checked the thread. I'm bad at being an explainer but so far it's come down to keeping board presence at all times and knowing when exactly to burn the equalities and city taxes.

Just stay alive with whatever you have, save the order in the court cards for when you when to drop the Light rays and cariel.

Keep in mind you will never win vs an armor druid. Everything else has been kinda smooth aside from the odd frost DK.

This month has been kinda bad for laddering (for me anyway) but I found that demon hunter Proving Grounds deck, put a rack of ribs to smoke, cracked open some whiskey and have been sitting outside idly playing and have been on a huge streak to diamond 5. Hopefully anyone stuck today can utilize it and get in a few last minute ranks. It’s been pretty fun (the booze helps though)

E: the proving grounds will hit for 16. Save the dispose evidence to cycle the centurions back into your deck on the burst turn. So just whittle them down and murder boards while you’re waiting to do your thing.

E2: disclaimer - have not fought a blood death knight or something else super Healy yet.

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.

Huh. Is Sargeras also bugged? I was playing a mage and copied the enemy Sargeras. Sending everything to Twisting Nether did precisely nothing, except for the opponent emoting "Sorry" at me.

They made it now so you have to have a twisting nether on your side for any of Sarg's abilities to do anything. So a copied Sarg doesn't come with the twisting nether, causing his abilities to do absolutely nothing for you.

Any tips on using it? For some reason I get smashed whenever I try it.

Hard to explain. I kinda pilot it by feel. Typically you just use your bounce effects to maximize value. Depends on the game. The secrets are there primarily to keep your hand stocked.

Sometimes I’ll bounce Yogg a bunch of times and steal poo poo, sometimes I’ll bounce Astalor for huge armor or damage. Sometimes you’ll just bounce Prison Breaker a bunch of times to keep the board clear.

It’s really matchup-dependent and you need to be able to find openings to exploit.

it also pays to know when you’re simply not gonna win.

I dunno, it requires the opponent to leave up the OP minion and it's super easy to check for by leaving a tiny minion on the board.

I think 90% of the time it's going to be triggering on the 4 mana 3/5 that plays two secrets, which seems underwhelming at best

Ah poo poo yeah I misunderstood it, I thought it was from hand. Sorry, I've been enjoying bourbon on this fine MLK day.

Also random nerf ideas—

Leeroy — summon 2 whelps with taunt (still can get the otk if you have a board, which is the problem right now)
1 cost pirate guy — rush instead of charge (1 mana charge, gently caress that)
Plush tiger — add 2 mana cost or lose mini (just compare it to the DK that requires you to have all 3 runes)
Shroomskavate — gently caress this card, pally should never have access to windfury. Should be more like “add +2, +1 and divine shield to a minion, excavate.”]
