This is clearly fake, since according to this elaborate photoshop, you have not drawn/played Guff before/on turn 5, which, in my experience facing druids, is downright impossible.


Yeah, I was for sure going to lose since I drew it so late, my only only hope was managing to yoink the Xyrella right after they completed the quest, but I managed to pull it off :toot:

Immune negates Taunt. That's how it's always been. Why? Well you see Immune isn't just "Prevents all damage" It prevents your opponent from performing any action that would target the creature. Since taunt requires you to target it, Immune negates the taunt, so you can go face.

Edit: Nathanos is completely broken. If your deathrattle minion has any negative status (silence/frozen) Nathanos gains that status as does the deathrattle you get in your hand. lmao. Good job QAing your code Team 5, jfc.

Ahaha i lost a game for no reason yesterday cause I didn’t even think to try to just go face around the immune taunt. Live and learn I suppose

Apparently dew process is bugged, and it's supposed to get fixed soon before the masters tour. When you play a hero card after dew process is played, it duplicates the dew process. It reapplies the buff for every dew process that was played before you play the hero card.

If I play 2 dew processes, and your'e drawing 3/turn, and then you play your hero card, now you're drawing 5. So it kinda stops other players from playing hero cards or they'll go into fatigue.

big priest is unfortunately back and real in Standard

I mashed together a deck and managed to get 54 armor and full health by constantly bringing back that 8 armor guy that I cheated out turn 3, killing all their threats with that 4/8 lifesteal guy, stealing the deathrattles twice card from rogue opponent, and playing the hero card that replays all your deathrattles. Big priest rules.

No way this is optimal. Probably you want go with the colossal and then only one of the other two minions for more consistency. Then I have no idea about what other spells would be good, but it probably doesn't matter too much

Managed to pull the first new baron deathrattle replacement guy off of the cat's hero power, and was already going frogleaper so it worked really well. I dont think I've seen numbers this high in battlegrounds before. I was really hoping to see the undead horse get reborn huge but it never died :/

Warrior deck, full of whatever stalling bullshit you can find, then

The Fires of Zin-Azshari => 2 mana: Replace your deck with minions that cost (5) or more. They cost (5).
Steamcleaner => 5 mana Battlecry: Destroy ALL cards in both players' decks that didn't start there.

+for wild
Explore Un'Goro => 2 mana: Replace your deck with copies of "1 mana: Discover a card."
Skulking Geist => 6 mana: Battlecry: Destroy all 1-Cost spells in both hands and decks.

Could make it even warrior in wild by stuffing Tony inside ETC

Can anyone smarter than me share how to properly play with, and against, Pozzik? I've been just playing him on curve and hoping for the best. Sometimes even coining him out, but idk if that's smart. Then when people play it against me idk if i should be playing the bots or not.

Mini optimization I saw: wait to log in on Aug 1 until after the set is out, that way the epic you get from the monthly rewards has a chance to be from the new set.

edit: oh i was back a page apparently when replying and missed that this was already shared, whoops

bravesword posted:

Additionally, since the expansion launches on the first of the month, if you wait to log in on Tuesday until after the expansion goes live (usually 1 pm ET/10 am PT), your reward chest will also contain new cards (assuming you already have all or most of the standard-legal rares and epics). It’s not much, but it tickles the optimization part of the brain.

Lurks With Wolves posted:

Basically, Blizzard has official bots they use so people who are new or have low MMR can get "real" games in and do daily missions without getting owned immediately by people who know what they're doing. Which is fine-ish if it's rare, but it seems like they lowered the threshold for matching against them for the expansion launch and the bots are really bad at running the decks they're currently using so people are getting really annoyed with them at the moment.

I think maybe they also will put a bot in sometimes if there isn't anyone to match with? I hit one bot the other day at wild diamond 2ish, and idk what my mmr is, but I hit legend yesterday at low 500s, so it probably isn't crazy low. I'm on US servers, but it was europe daytime so off-hours.

Magister Dawngrasp
- Temporarily banned in all Modes.
Dev Comment: We found a bug with Magister Dawngrasp’s hero power that is causing disconnects. The problem is particularly bad because it’s a hero power, so it can cause a disconnect every turn. We have a fix coming, but it requires a different type of patch, so we’re temporarily banning Dawngrasp until we can get that bug fix in.

Good that they found this. I got hit with the receiving end of this 3 or so times. What'd happen is that it'd stick on the hero power animation as soon as they clicked their button and hang there indefinitely. You'd have to close the application and relaunch every turn, which I would have just conceded since it's so annoying but of course it was happening at like diamond 2.

Then I ran into the aggro diamond 5 wall like you said, so I switched to even warrior which just completely farmed all the shadow priests, pirate rogues, and even shaman bots. Which was almost the only decks I saw so I think from d5 to legend I lost two games, and one was the mirror

Classic’s a bad, boring format, so player interest shriveled after the nostalgia wore off and Blizzard mercy-killed it

It was 100% full of bots. That may sound bad but it was actually great. All the bots just kept to that one format and played each other. Then when they killed classic, that's when the bot problem spread to standard and wild. They should have just left it as a thing for bots in like an out of reach corner somewhere and let all the botters just keep to themselves.
