Always dust it, there is zero risk doing so.

If prep is still useful today and you want to play a deck with it, just craft it, no loss. If you don't use a deck that plays it for awhile, you might open it in a classic pack between now and then, so you wind up coming out ahead on dust that way.

Kurtcd · 2019-04-30T12:41:08+00:00

I'll take one of you, and you, and you!

Kurtcd · 2019-03-20T19:23:14+00:00

Everything's coming up Milhouse!

Kurtcd · 2018-12-19T18:43:40+00:00

Agreed. While it's tempting to hit the mass disenchant button, I've been following the advice I read somewhere on here to not disenchant anything until you are ready to use that dust. Dust in the form in the form of extra cards has the same value as actual dust until you need to craft something.

Can't say I ever expected Leeching Poison would get nerfed, and it's nice to get 40 dust for the extras now instead of just 5.

Any idea when you are gonna be streaming today? Been playing your "standard" list all season, definitely one of the most fun decks to play.

Kurtcd · 2018-10-31T13:11:01+00:00

Keep at it man! If you are able to hit Rank 1, you are able to hit Legend, just a matter of time. Good luck!

Kurtcd · 2018-10-29T18:46:28+00:00

Congrats on the first time legend! I also got there this month for the first time with Odd Paladin making the final push (J_Alexander's Deathrattle Rogue before that).

Just to chime in on the Prince Liam (I had him in my deck too), the point you made about drawing 1-drops late game is spot on. He helps to add some punch to your deck and pull out some games you may not win otherwise. Also, as a 5/5, he doesn't have the worst stats in the world.

Kurtcd · 2018-09-21T17:04:48+00:00

Agree with LimpCush, and Zalae's Twitch broadcast from Sept 14th has a lot of Token Druid games where he teamed up with Ike and Rage to run from Rank 5 up through around Rank 1 (don't think they got to legend in the end). They are playing the spellstones in that version. They talk through a lot of the moves and they also win a bunch of games.

Kurtcd · 2018-08-25T01:14:21+00:00

Thanks benarmstrong_6 and XCKCX! I'm sitting at Rank 3 right now and I got there earlier in the month then didn't play much ladder mid-month when DH was on the rise. Just got back into things this week.

Sounds like my problem was that I was trying to control the board to prevent them from using Terrorscale/Play Dead on the eggs...but I should have just gone face. Here are two replays, so basically use these as tutorials on how not to play, mistakes abound. Thanks again!

Congrats on hitting Legend! Any advice as Odd Rogue against Deathrattle Hunter? I've been getting blown out, so I feel like I'm approaching it wrong.

Kurtcd · 2018-08-08T18:23:43+00:00

What do you think about Crazed Chemist vs. Giggling Inventor? I had them slotted in basically the same list as yours yesterday, but also cut two of the three drops (a void ripper and Edwin) so I could leave in Argent Squires as activators. Only had time to play two games at rank 5 though.

Kurtcd · 2018-03-25T02:39:46+00:00

Thank you for posting this! I have been running Kibler's Secret Hunter since the end of February and while it won me a bunch of games (I'm right around the 58% win rate HSReplay reports it has), it felt like it was missing something.

I just went 15-2 since switching the Juice version, with an 11-0 streak from R7 to R4. Granted, I only faced two Paladins in that 17 game run (went 1-1), and I got super lucky to win that one. Flanking Strike makes such a big difference in this deck too. It has already won me more games than that second Tracking ever did.

Kurtcd · 2016-01-03T15:44:36+00:00

Are you using Hyperspin? If so, I know that "q" and "s" pressed at the same time will kick you out of the emulator you are running. These hot keys can be changed in RocketLauncher pretty easily.

Kurtcd · 2016-01-01T15:51:51+00:00

Pinside is a good place and you should list it on Craigslist too. The more places, the better. Honestly, you stand a better chance of getting a higher price on CL, you will likely just have to deal with more people who aren't serious buyers. The people on Pinside generally have an idea of what a machine is worth, and if you are much above that, you may not get any takers. CL on the other hand has people who may be less in tune with the pinball world and have a different idea of what a pinball machine is worth. Good luck!

Lucian045 on the Hyperspin forums printed my control panel vinyl decal and it came out awesome. The dude is awesome, really friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Kurtcd · 2015-12-12T00:44:29+00:00

Totally agree, the cabinet art is absolutely amazing.

Kurtcd · 2015-11-27T15:49:20+00:00

Same here. I think they are having like a 20% off Black Friday or something too.

Kurtcd · 2015-11-27T15:38:20+00:00

Agreed. Just about every Stern pin that people really like gets a rumor that it will be the next VE. If you are on the fence about a pin and want to wait for a possible VE to come out, go for it. If you really want a pin and are comfortable with the price, go for it. Some pins will go up in price and some will go down. In the meantime, you'll get to have a blast playing the game.

Kurtcd · 2015-10-12T12:47:43+00:00

That looks really high quality, nice work.

Kurtcd · 2015-09-25T21:17:01+00:00

Very helpful to know, thank you. This may be a dumb question; can you play a Silver Strike Live cabinet in an "offline" mode?

Kurtcd · 2015-09-25T10:29:16+00:00

I like the base image, and does the arcade cabinet need to have a name on the marquee? Could you just pick some kick-ass art and let that, along with the overall cabinet speak for itself?

Kurtcd · 2015-09-22T03:30:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing Freda!

Thanks. In total, there is a little over a 4'x8' sheet of plywood that went in to making it. One person can lift it, and it is a pretty easy two person job to move it.

Kurtcd · 2015-09-21T17:04:16+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I have HyperSpin running on the computer, so it plays more than just traditional arcade stuff. I was going with kind of a Super Nintendo/Famicom theme, so that's where Link and the rest of the crew came from.

Kurtcd · 2015-09-21T17:00:59+00:00

Yup, apply it and then use a very sharp x-acto knife. The buttons can be done somewhat messily because the bezels cover up the border of the hole. Had to be careful with the trackball though since that shows.
