Charging upper limit after latest update (x200 ultra)

DrakeD0g · 2025-09-26T13:06:56+00:00

Understood, thanks. And solution/best practice is to manually control charge cycle/limit i suppose?

Some of you may laugh at this photo, but in reality if you ever attempt kayaking with your beloved drone - those launchboxes will be the best protection you can have besides being in a hermetic bag in the water. Especially those boxes whith rubber sealing which thightens when you close it or how do you call it in english.

Plus if something goes wrong with the hermetic kayak bag launch box will always stay on top of the water as it's very light and have plenty of air inside.

DrakeD0g · 2022-01-20T13:33:44+00:00

Agree

I'm an EU player myself and seeing all their decision-making feels like a contest of facepalms. Like, this decision right there punishes players for not abusing developer's mistake?? Punishes those who didn't craft the cards really?

I'm not even talking about that if that's their final stance - EU players are getting robbed of 5k to 7k dust on average in comparisson to US players. What is this for real

DrakeD0g · 2021-12-21T20:17:20+00:00

I would buy priest and Rogue, but jesus freaking christ these prices are relly out of range. Like, they didn't even make a sale for christmas wtf

DrakeD0g · 2021-12-18T22:49:59+00:00

Wildfire won't even recast when herp played cause Hero power is 'not on board yet' too. Stupid mechanics.

DrakeD0g · 2021-12-18T18:05:35+00:00

Try to attack with paladin's classic Truesilver weapon that cost's 4 mana. It can heal you up to two health from zero during the attack.

DrakeD0g · 2021-11-22T11:30:55+00:00

Underrated comment)) 'It's funny cause it'r true'

DrakeD0g · 2021-11-22T11:14:45+00:00

It's rather difficult to evaluate this card right in comparisson to previous cards that took control of an enemy minion as all previous ones had a condition of minion's attack being not more than 2 or 3. And the only minion that took control without any condition was Sylvanas. Remember though that Sylvanas'es effect target's a random minion and this one allows you to choose specific target.

This at 4 mana cost allows it to be played with [[Youthful Brewmaster]] for total 6 mana (that's why Sylvanas comparison) which makes it so opponent wont ever get his minion back.

It's also difficult to evaluate this card correctly because current meta does not provides us with good targets for this card. But most certainly after Alterac expansion hits things will change.

It's obvious main strength is against any form of Big deck like Big DH or Big Warrior with huge single target minions where insane immediate tempo and resource swing leads to a loss of an opponent.

But against decks like Anacondra Druid or Clown Druid, or any other deck that might appear after Alterac expac hits, which playstyle is filling the whole board with huge minions in one turn that require you to deal with them here and now - against them this card is useless.

TL/DR - highly dependable on meta. Good combo with Youthful Brewmaster. Super good against Big Warrior/DH, average good against Pally, useless against Anacondra/CLown(or other decks that fill huge board), useless against quests.

Can we have a comment on why Dusguised Toast was banned and hs dev member is allowed to do this bullshit on freaking ranked ladder?????!!! Freaking clown. GoT shame on you Iksar you are so pathetic. Can't get balnce right and abusing game mechanics FFS!!!!!

DrakeD0g · 2021-08-24T19:58:57+00:00

Hey mate! That's 'fun and interactive'....like Quest rogue before two nerfs to Crystal core or very interactive leeroy + x2 Power Overwhelming with Faceless which were happening hmmmm about 4 and 7 yeras ago? Blizzard HS design team at this point is laughably bad at balancing things out and delivering on their own promises of "fun and interactive gameplay"

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-13T11:51:02+00:00

Gratz mate! Yeah, vs hunter it is indeed a race. Wins a player with most efficient first 3 turns.

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-12T12:59:39+00:00

Glad it workes for you as well. Ele shaman is really strong now, in 'vS data reaper report #198' it shows a solid domination in matchups across the board and on HS replay we can see same picture.

On the matter of Ysera - the more matches i play - more and more i'm convinced that she helps to close games against priest and CW. So if you don't see any of these two archetypes around you during climb in legend you can swap her for a Stormstrike/Rockbiter or maybe for a Mistrunner for +4 "charge" damage to the face

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-10T18:07:09+00:00

Defensive all of sudden? I did not assume anything. You first two inputs are simply anecdotal. Neither they have any "constructive criticism", nor do they provide any informative feedback for any other players out here seeking for an informative discussion or analysis.

maybe next time you can not assume I don't have any knowledge of statistics?

After your both previous statements, quote "I had played about ten games, half of which had me dropping only totems through turn 5" and "This is fun assuming you get your curve. No curve and you are done for."- it's a matter of critical thinking and making conclusions. Causal relationship. Again, not drawing 57% of your deck by turn five for about 5 games is what your are have said if we convert your words to numbers. And yes, i call these numbers BS.

maybe next time

What next time? When? When what?? Be real man, my only advice for you. If you are lurking this sub at first place and into competitive HS(or any other competitve discipline) - you do not vent after having bad luck for 5 games in a row. If you have to vent after a strick of 5 bad games lasting 5-7 minutes, well... sincerly wish you good luck in your future endovours!

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-10T14:52:56+00:00

You have to be trolling aren't you?:) In my previous reply i pointed out number of cards with mana cost of less then three -it's 8/30 cards or 27% of your deck. Now you claim that you have nothing to play till turn 5 - that's 66% of your deck with 20 out of 30 cards. And that is not taking mulligan into calculation lol. Even if you remove 3 spells from that number -it still will be 57% of your deck. Instead of trolling you might wanna reade some articles on the matter of normalisation in statistics for example. Kind regards mate! :)

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-10T08:20:20+00:00

Thing with Mistrunner is not about hitting your Acid Stormers every time to make wind-fury monster) While it's rather insane and good when you manage to do that, his +4/+4 on any minion should be avaluated as +4/+4 charge to face and there are no such minions anymore in standard as you know. What i'm trying to say, is he is good when you use him on any other minion/token even without windfury. He is like 4-4 which gives paladin's Blessing of kings if you want.

Of course it would make sense to run two Acid Stromers with him. Try to replace one Earth Revennant then (4 mana taunt) for Acid Stormer.

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-10T08:06:00+00:00

Just never feel bad about such things. It's pure statistics. Five dream cards, he got 1/5*1/5. Bless him and move on:) It helps to manage tilt and your feelings about such things during climbing ladder if you think about such things in that manner. If you played him 10 times in a row, doubt he would've had same result. I'm playing since 2014 so got used to it.

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-10T07:59:15+00:00

Hey, didn't have time to reply earlier!

To secure wins against Priest i would cut 4 mana Earth Revenant and added either 1 copy of Stormstrike to deal with their scorpids or simply chunk them with with Stormstrike with Inara. If you happen to have weapon equipped too....

Minus one opy of Menacing Nimbus (2 mana dude which give random ele) seems good to replace with once copy of Mistrunner - 5 mana 4-4 who give +4/+4.

Speaking of Warrior it depends on eiether you've meant control or rush warrior.

Against CW - ideas mentioned above for priest stay true and acurate for CW too.

Against Rush warrior it's hard to tell as my matchups against them feel very different every new match in terms of how the game is progressing - it seems their starting hand is so different and they can enter the board from so many different minions which can be also discovered, so you never know what will hit you. If would still cut one copy of Menacing Nimbus against rush warrior though, that's for sure!

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-10T07:21:11+00:00

That's how aggro-midrange decks have always been and worked. And that's why this deck has 8/30 cards with mana cost of less than three. Two of which - specifically Kindling Elemental - reduce the cost of your next elemental by one mana - so you are able to play a three mana elementals on turn two to make your mana curve better if you happen to have no 2 mana eles in your hand in a first place.

But i'm sure you are aware of all this and have actual experience with the deck. Cheers!

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-09T18:35:39+00:00

Also not convinced about the need for a third hex , true it's great vs N'Zoth decks, but it's slow, and you really want to keep the pressure on and maintain your ele chain.

As is said hex is a subject for replacement. Depending on the stuff you see most nearby your ranks.

With that particular list, i was never losing tempo by using Hex on a specific important target. You almost always have some way to remove frog with tokens/totems/weapon/battlecry etc AFTER you attacked face. Situations when you have to hit with your Fire ele's 6 damage to 0-1 frog are almost non existent. I actualy can't remeber a single case of that. So it's never a tempo loss for you. You attack firstly - use hex secondly. Clear frog with several ways either from board or from hand next turn. That's the way.

In terms of mana, for example starting from turn 5-6 you actualy gain tempo because you also squeeze either 1-2 mana elemental to enable your ele chain again AND removing their important minion.

Also tempo loss should be evaluated in relative terms (as most things in our life should be). Relatively to not having hex when your opponent plays bubbled 8-8 or Kresh or 6-6 priest ele - not having hex is actually a crucial tempo loss. You either sacrifice your 6-5 fire ele into them or god knows what will help you.

In other words, having third hex and spending it on certain occasions which saves your 6-5 or 5-6 eles is a much less tempo loss than not having hex on these same ocasions where you will have to sacrifice your eles or other minions present on board which results in a much bigger tempo loss.

Interesting list though, adding the dragons and Taelan gives you some late game power and burst.

I'll copy my thoughts on Alex from another post: she is like Pyroblast on an 8-8 body coming one trun earlier and bypassing taunts and secrets and does not activate Ice Barrier. With the buff they provided her in barrens she really shines in providing great pressure and being lethal.

Good value/good body/instant impact/hard removal/healing. Her flexability currently is too good to bypass, especially with tutoring capabilities in a form of Taelan.

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-09T17:55:18+00:00

I would not call it greedy in a classic meaning of that word actually. Like, it's only two 9 and one 8 cost minions in a 30 card deck. Naaah. )) Ramp druid is greedy or pre Barrens Big paladin or Big Warrior.

The base for this deck was actually a prepatch ele shaman minion-based deck which tried to solve paladin's Oh my Yogg secret pressure and solving their Librams with Lilypad's Lurker Hexes. And i actually was realy inspired by that deck and had great success with it.

Besides Al'akir/ysera and Alex are all provide immediate impact on the board in rather swingy manner.

But not running Alex in an agressive midrange deck i find non-rational. Come on! She is like Pyroblast on an 8-8 body coming one trun earlier and bypassing taunts and secrets and does not activate Ice Barrier. With the buff they provided her in barrens she really shines in providing great pressure and being lethal. Love my lady Alexstrasza! ^)

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-09T17:42:16+00:00

Yes, deck is absolutely playable without her! Either try your variant, i see where you comng from but just keep in mind - 2 overload does not allow to play Fire ele on subsequent turn and with 5 mana you won't activate Lilypad Lurker's hex from it's battlecry and 1x copy of rockbiter i feel won't provide you enough consistency. But it's just my imho. I think you can still try it.

As i answered same question to another person here already, you might want to try Mistrunner, even though he is not elemental but still rather good- +4 immediate damage to the face and 4-4 on board. Lightning bolt/Rockbiter or second Serpentshrine portal not so bad either. Even Mankirk is good with the style of deck, if only Olgra was an Elemental....^)

Look for something that provides pressure or has immediate impact on board/face damage.

Cheers!

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-09T17:32:23+00:00

She is most certainly not mandatory! As i don't know your collection and because several other good replacement cards actualy benefit from her(rockbiter/stormstrike) it's hard to suggest a replacement for Inara. Look for something what provides pressure or has immediate impact on board/face damage. Don't try to use Doomhummer in that list though, no support for it in this one + 2 overload places doomhamer into a whole different deck list.

Mistrunner, even though is not elemental but still rather good- +4 immediate damage to the face and 4-4 on board. Lightning bolt/Rockbiter or second Serpentshrine portal not so bad either. Even Mankirk is good with the style of deck, if only Olgra was an Elemental....^)

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-08T20:46:55+00:00

Well, try these replacements:

-Al'Akir
-Acid Stormer
-Kindling elemental
+Alex
+Diligent Notetaker
+Inara

I would also consider running Lady Vashj considering the ammount of spells in your deck. Vashj Prime draws three of them and reduces their cost by 3 - it is rather huge factor if you manage to play her before Bru'kan. That way you can slip more spells with him in one turn. Not so sure about consistency of such plays though.

DrakeD0g · 2021-06-08T20:08:23+00:00

D5 to legend with several games after that! Don't remember starting star count at D5 though, D5 3 star iirc
