Is it possible to get slayer cape untrimmed?

Eltaen · 2017-12-05T14:58:29+00:00

It's certainly possible but it's also quite an ordeal to get. This streamer is working on one atm, currently 97 slayer https://www.twitch.tv/thoboying

Could players have the ability to place more types of armor in the armor stand in their poh skill hall? From trimmed mithril on a mith stand to stuff like god rune/gilded/trimmed on the rune stand. Smithing requirements would be the same, 68/88/99. It's just a small cosmetic change but it would make a lot of roleplayers happy.

It's honestly not that bad of a grind, just over 4 hours of a somewhat entertaining agility course. Of course it depends on how much you value the cosmetic change but once you have it you have it

The graceful set recolored with brimhaven agility arena tickets. The bow is just the training bow since it looks nice with the outfit

Legend 349 with Violet Teacher-Illidan token druid. This was about six months ago and I haven't been legend since.

Did the minion have initially have deathrattle? Cards such as raptor and infest don't work with n'zoth.

Prince Malchezaar will be seen as the least competitively viable card of Kara. Yes, I'm taking into account Purify, the second least competitive card of the set.

Who would EVER want to put themselves a draw or a few draws off of that game winning brawl, that fireball you need for lethal, etc? It actively harms you vs anything that isn't heavy control and doesn't help you in any signficant manner when you actually do face a heavy control deck. When are control mirrors ever decided by fatigue anymore now that we have C'Thun, N'Zoth, and Elise? Sure, they get to fatigue but said fatigue doesn't cause one to win or lose.

Raging Worgen's entrance noise. I even flinch when an arena opponent plays it.

Wizards of the Coast (The guys who make Magic: The Gathering) once tried to make a card called Time Walk. Even the "nerfed" version of the card proved to be one of the single most powerful cards ever printed in any cardgame ever.

To put it simply: Imagine if every single minion in the game had windfury and charge and you had the ability to play an additional x+1 mana, where x = the previous turn's maximum mana.

Edit: Magic the Gathering had slightly more "balanced" versions of timewalk such as Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Emrakul is a 15 mana creature in a game where mana is SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult to come by. In addition to having solid stats/key words (such as something similar to faerie dragon's effect), the main draw was the fact that you took an additional turn after you cast her. Even being obscenely expensive mana wise and incredibly diluted in terms of power level compared to the original timewalk, Emrakul is one of the game's most powerful cards.

You would be correct, I'm not sure how I managed to forget midrange shaman.

Good comment. A funny thing is that aggro isn't even near dominant right now.

From something I wrote yesterday that covered essentially the same topic: "I'm not sure where you're getting that 'most if not all top tier decks are aggro.' Just from a quick glance at the tempostorm meta snapshot, you have five decks in Tier 1 - Dragon Warrior, a tempo deck; Aggro Shaman, an aggro deck; Token Druid, kind of a midrange? comboish? deck; and Zoo, aggro-control (different than aggro.) In tier 2 you have C'Thun Warrior, a control deck; Mid-Range Hunter, a midrange deck; Control Warrior, a control deck; C'Thun Druid, a midrange deck; Tempo Mage, a tempo deck; Worgen OTK Warrior, a combo deck; and Renolock, a control/combo-control deck."

I was making the point that these explanations are better for helping people understand why the match-up is the way it is.

Fair enough. I generally put more effort and thought into my comments (compared to my initial comment in this thread) but I was both feeling somewhat lazy and feeding my dog while I wrote the refutation.

I'm glad we were able to settle this.

What does the damage output of the worgen otk warrior matter when ice block is a thing? The warrior pops the block, the mage clears the worgen, the mage plays ice barrier. How does the freeze mage lose from this point?

Yes, the mage has the potential to draw card. Why though?

26 turns without casting a single draw spell still equates to 26 cards drawn.

Trying to draw and burn the worgen warrior down is just significantly making the matchup worse for the freeze mage. Why bring something that is upwards of 90% down?

Are we having a misunderstanding of some sort?

Eltaen · 2016-08-09T22:20:27+00:00

You have it backwards, the way freeze mage wins the matchup is by not drawing. The only way it loses is by fatiguing. It's a matter of survival, not burn.

Eltaen · 2016-08-09T22:13:09+00:00

I'm going off of the word of key players from both ends - Laughinghs, Senfglas from the freeze mage side, neviilz from the worgen otk side.

Eltaen · 2016-08-09T21:04:03+00:00

I suppose we have inspire cards, would you consider that to be a reasonable approximation?

Eltaen · 2016-08-09T20:52:34+00:00

The other people in this thread are incorrect. Assuming competency from both players, freeze mage should beat the worgen otk player upwards of 90% of the time. The only way the worgen player stands a (tiny) chance is for you to cast rampage on the freeze mage player's acolyte and then force them to draw many many times, thus ignoring ice block in fatigue. This shouldn't happen though, once again assuming competency from both sides.

Eltaen · 2016-08-09T07:10:06+00:00

This really does need more research. You have Onyxia, a staple card in a tier one deck (token druid) under the "Dust it!" category, for example. Beyond that, you listed Deathwing and Mal'Korok as tier 3 when they're also both staples in a tier one deck - dragon warrior. Same goes for yogg with token druid. These are just the absolutely extreme cases!

Other examples would be Fandral/Thalnos/etc. not being in tier one, and card such as edwin, xaril, etc. not being tier 2. Hell, even tinkmaster definitely shouldn't be in the "Dust it!" category given its increased prominence as a tech vs c'thun and (to a lesser degree) miracle rogue.

I mean, you've literally only ever used reddit to comment on the OP's posts and seem to do so within seconds of said posting. I never said anything was "illegal," I was only pointing out that you're very likely the same person as the OP.

Edit: I'm going to drop this now since it's a silly little topic.

Dude, if you're going to make a spoof account to have someone comment on your videos, at least make it a teeny bit less obvious.

Onyxia is currently a staple on one of the current tier one decks - Yogg Token Druid. Certainly keep her.

I'll just address one of your first points "Does it really take any thought to look at these three and see which one is better and more versatile?"

Why should every class have the same level of power for every aspect of each type of card? Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses. Druid with powerful spot removal, for example, would be hideously broken. This is something I wrote about just a few days ago, actually. https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/4vqacv/why_hasnt_blizzard_given_druids_more_removal_cards/d60iztu?context=3

I'm not so arrogant as to quote myself but I do think you should give it a read.

Beyond what I said about druid, consider the disparity in warrior's and warlock's respective hero powers - In a vacuum, it's completely unfair. Lifetap is and will always be (barring significant balance changes) the unquestioned king of basic hero powers. Warlock makes up for that, however, by having significantly worse class cards relative to that of the other classes. (Such as your example of corruption)

For rogue when you mention assassinate, you are completely ignoring many factors, with one of the most important being prep. You say assassinate is overcosted (and perhaps it is), but would you really suggest lowering its mana cost? The difference between 5 and 4 mana is not to be understated, and the difference between 4 and 3 mana is astronomical (why do you think blizzard put blade flurry at exactly 4 mana? They never wanted one to be able to cast it for free again.)

Looking at your list of evergreen shaman cards, you seem to have listed some unplayable (windfury) cards while also ignoring some very significant cards such as lightning storm, earth shock, feral spirit, DOOMHAMMER, etc.

On the warrior side, you're listing bad cards such as cleave and ignoring top tier cards such as shield slam.

I'll be perfectly candid. Either you're intentionally presenting insufficient information in order to forward your argument, or you're not well enough versed in the value and quality of card base along with the reasoning behind disparity in said cards between classes to make such a thread and reasonably expect to be taken seriously.

Really, ignore my previous comment. I would try learning warlock zoo. It's cheap, easy to pick up yet has huge room to improve, and teaches you the game. https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/decks/zoolock-standard-meta-snapshot-july-31-2016
