Ugh, I didn't pay attention to what the Path of Arthas was and assumed it was the adventure. I blew the ~2.5k gold I had saved up on packs, enough that I'm no longer getting new common stuff, and wondered why there were still craftable common cards :saddumb:

It's scummy as gently caress that they hid the 2k gold path of Arthas inside the golden premium real money version on the store, I spent ages looking for it before I looked at the golden one and went 'surely they wouldn't be *that* predatory'

It's pretty dumb how dks just fill their decks with discover cards (scorpid, vulpera, schoolteacher etc) because their spells are all generally so powerful they may as well duplicate them and attach bodies

BBB XL DK commits the cardinal sin of being boring as well as bad, you are still losing to ramp druid no matter what, having 100 life total and near-infinite removal doesn't matter

And umm what would you say this triple blood is good against?

It's pretty much no-sells any aggro deck and does well against midrange

Gets bodied by ramp druid and deathrattle priest + most combo DH decks

PS I'd never run Denathrius in blood now, you'll juice him up to like 11 or 12 max which is basically do nothing

I'd also run a couple of smothering starfish since deathrattle rogue is popular right now

Also corpse explosion sucks, you have more than enough removal already and can't generate enough corpses to make it worth playing one let alone two

BBB control DK mirror, I was the standard Renathal, he was 30 card Highlander Reno (???)

I Theotar stole his Mograine, generated one from a hematurge, and played my own natural one with Brann so he was taking 12 per turn

Chewed through something like 90 health that game

Because Ramp Druid isn't really that much of a issue at higher ranks. There's plenty of aggro decks that kick its poo poo in, especially after the Denathrius nerf.

I'd argue Rogue's probably the real problem class right now

Frost DK Vs wildseed shockspitter hunter (I assume this is now the standard post Renathal nerf)

I keep icy touch and howling blast in the Mulligan specifically to keep him frozen, he manages to attack me twice with a weapon the entire match, and I still die to Brann double spitter devouring swarm bullshit

They still have their heads up their asses about Brann and it's getting frustrating

i'd juiced my spitters up to 9 damage each so two of those plus brann got me there

(he discovered three blood boils and two vampiric blood that game so i feel like the bullshit i beat him with was deserved for making me sit through it)

Paparazzi is shameless Brightwing power creep

I've been jamming arena in the new rotation since I apparently had 15 unspent tickets and I am averaging 5/6 wins per run (back in the day I would regularly get 10+)

Feels like you don't draft for a good curve or synergy any more, you just full greed and take every single bomb card and overwhelm your opponent

Paladin run currently with 3 disco maul (why the gently caress does this cost 2 mana) and a ton of low drops and I basically have the board locked down and something buffed by +4/+4 around turn 5 which usually forces a concede

Oh by the way arena is bugged right now and none of the cards on the right side of this image are draftable (you can still discover them though)

Some of them are pretty glaring like fan of knives/defile, and the legendaries like rag/Dr Boom/zilliax

I'd hold off on playing until it's fixed

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?

There are three classes you will see in arena, they are priest, warrior and shaman

priest will steal all your good cards and remove your poo poo until you lose

warrior will buff its hand and gain armor + play fat tempo rushers until you lose

shaman will play pack the house and schooling until you lose

any other class may as well retire early and try to get one of the big three

I love how their solution for balancing arena was to give bridge riff, an epic card, a draft rate around the same level as a normal (white rarity) card, so beyond like 5/6 wins every warrior deck runs at least three

Feels great to be ahead and then immediately lose tempo to back to back bridge riffs followed up by a loving clown car of tidal revenants

Dog is the best BGs streamer by far because he's usually #1/top 10 and tends to explain his plays

All the super old school players like Reynad, Amaz, Lifecoach etc have moved on. Trump's one of the few left from that era. Kripp rarely ever plays HS any more
