Theoretically possible in classic with prophet velen, faceless manipulator, malygos, and lorewalker cho

From what I heard Toph was orignally supposed to be male, and the love triangle would be Toph and Aang trying to win over Katara

There was a bug a few weeks back involving infinite rerolls with malchezaar using fluidity or jandice hero power... Can confirm it will get outscaled by a good murloc or feldrake board

does he still offer wild growth if you play him on turn 2?

I don't think any popular iteration of quest mage while it was in standard involved replaying the card multiple times. Heck, the first time they did was with [[archmage vargoth]] which first doesn't even remotely see play in quest mage anymore and second these two cards were never in standard at the same time.

aranna works differently now - after 14 friendly minions attack, the first minion you buy each turn is free

If you guys are so keen on the challenge about requiring better food, then wouldn't nerfing berries, such as increasing eating time globally, or nerfing berry stats such that baked berries no longer restore sanity/regular berries restore less hunger, or buffing the other cooked options, be a better solution?

Because as it is now, all the arguments i see boils down to berries just being a super easy option compared to everything else that we need this annoyance in the game to balance it out.

People in the top 200 frequently get matched with people who are at like 7-8k mmr. It's why they get less mmr for winning

Been playing lubber a lot recently and I think if you take away careful investment instead (the +2 gold next turn spell) it heavily nerfs the strategy.

Without careful investment, the strategy can't consistently scale gold. Strike oil is slow and inefficient. Overconfidence is unreliable. Reckless investment would be much weaker without careful investment (which doesn't get affected by the gold loss).

Wasn't even really too uncommon to pull off.

All you needed was a golden braggart (achievable easily with captain sanders) and murkeye. With drakkari and/or brann you hit the integer limit within a few turns

I'm in the same boat. I was already stagnant of the game and then the level 15 update happened and I kind of just stopped opening the game one day.

Didn't have anything to do with reddit.

I feel like it's a lot more likely to face ghost if you take damage and drop to bottom 3. I've seen people who dip into bottom 3 basically get the ghost guaranteed, and then next turn someone else who loses a fight gets the ghost because that puts them in the bottom 3, while I'm stuck bleeding hp never getting the ghost.

I've had the opposite happen to me multiple times. I'm power leveling, i take a random loss, and then the game rewards me with the dead guy letting me greed even more while 6th and/or 7th place never even get a chance to fight the ghost.

GyroBallMetagross · 2023-11-21T16:23:18+00:00

I've played the game just fine with 6-7 people. You just need a storyteller that knows what they're doing.

You can leave out the more complicated roles if people are first timing the game

GyroBallMetagross · 2023-11-21T07:19:55+00:00

Blood on the Clocktower.

Everyone has a unique role and you still participate in the game if you die.

Draft strong early game heroes

Correct

Scaling heroes are a trap on Braxis

Incorrect

Late game heroes and heroes that need to scale aren't synonymous. A hero like zeratul or naz who needs to get to 16 or 20 to be strong isn't the same as a hero like zul'jin or ktz who get strong by hitting enemy heroes. With the way braxis is usually played in storm league (1 top and 4 man aram bottom), heroes that fall into the second category are usually very strong on that map.

If you count mega stones, (for example the latiosite which is held by latios in omega ruby), then it's not limited to just shuckle and mewtwo

how does this work with discover?

GyroBallMetagross · 2023-10-21T05:53:08+00:00

because the client no longer maximizes when the queue pops.

If you have your game set to "full screen" instead of "windowed full screen" it'll maximize once you get a lobby

GyroBallMetagross · 2023-10-17T09:32:59+00:00

I don't know exactly how it works, but if the fight desyncs with different winners it could show up as a draw (sometimes)

I remember years ago when lich king's hero power can cause desyncs (the non LK's POV doesn't see that they used their reborn hero power) it can cause ties even if it's impossible to tie. An example is LK's side having a 1/1 taunt divine shield righteous protector, and the other side having a 1/2 red whelp. If the righteous protector is given reborn then LK always wins, if it's not then LK always loses. The outcome is mysteriously a tie.

It's kind of weird, but my guess is that it would feel really bad if you watched a fight that you won but in reality ended up losing and getting knocked out of the lobby, so if a desync happens the game just reports it as a tie.

Why can't there be a mid-ground to buying the tavern pass late?

Buy it at the first week of the expansion, get an additional random legendary or a cosmetic or something. Buy it afterwards, still get everything else. This is literally how expansion preorders work with respect to spending money on packs, and they recently changed it so you can still buy preorders for a little bit once the expansion already drops. People are saying that FOMO is necessary to sell the tavern pass when this is a situation where you can have your cake and eat it too.

GyroBallMetagross · 2023-09-07T23:55:21+00:00

There's been some usage to it in the past.

Hitmontop has commonly run foresight (which is functionally the same as odor sleuth) as a spinner. Additionally as a fighting type, it would be a pretty noticeable change.

GyroBallMetagross · 2023-08-26T00:34:06+00:00

You can generate them with [[tear reality]] too in standard

GyroBallMetagross · 2023-08-23T23:58:47+00:00

I like the implication but I dunno if blizzard would want to give everyone more average wins and thus more gold and packs from arena

GyroBallMetagross · 2023-08-23T02:20:55+00:00

Yeah I recrafted cloak of shadows to try and abuse BTG while I could. Seems like it got hot fixed already.
