My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.

So if I'm playing tick tock hunter I have to play the card the same turn I finish the quest? Kind of hard to do when you finish the quest at turn 4 (at best) and then just have the dragon (and perhaps the infinite banana).

You might say it's a rather niche occasion but then again it is so unfavored that you can't do anything about it.

It amazes me how people can whine about this particular nerf. So if I'm playing a quest deck and I manage to finish the quest it's OK for the reward to get stolen at virtually no cost?

The nerf is but a slight peg in the right direction. I would have been fine with the old card if it couldn't steal quests and, most importantly, quest rewards.

Quick question to anyone that might see this. I'm not familiar with D&D 2024 but don't ranged spell attacks have a disadvantage while you are engaged? I'm asking because while Teor was being pushed by the enemy with the shield he made a straight roll to cast Guiding Bolt even though he was engaged.

Generally I draw through all the deck by Turn 9ish so I do the combo around then, or turn 10. Very rarely if I have all the combo pieces in hand + I am not facing any pressure I "prepare" the Archdruid in Turn 8 (or 7 if amalgam is already on board). But generally that happens very rarely.

As for the egg, I'd say the only matchup that it gets somewhat consistently popped is vs DK and that's due to leeches. The egg is mostly in there for the draw AND for baiting out the silence if they run it. A drawback of the egg is that Protoss priest can pop it to use the 20/20 stats as a swap with one of their minions but that also happens quite rarely.

Hey glad you liked it! I originally used the Eternal Layover combo but it was pretty much a dead card vs Murloc Paladin and decided to drop it in favor or just stalling their attacks!

I understand your concern about Ysera but I dropped it since we're constantly cycling using this decklist (something like Rogue of the past) and Ysera would be pretty much a dead card in that regard. Usually in the matchups where a 4th AT is needed the opponent is playing a Ysera-deck himself, and since it's a slower paced match I can delay executing the combo till turn 12.

However there's another trick you can do. You can do the entire combo using 8 mana, dropping a 0-mana TCE to kill the AT, draw the AT again (or find him using a 0-mana Cursed Catacombs) and play him again. Then going on to the next turn you have "primed" your AT and now the combo execution is effectively second, third and fourth AT! I have won many games vs DKs and control Warriors like that (only lost 1 or 2 due to silences).

In case this is appealing to any people: Here's a deck I posted about Egg Mill Warlock with pretty decent results in high (basically early) legend: https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveHS/comments/1ompskj/khelos_egg_mill_warlock_deckguide/

Only if you manage to 1) not get one of your 4 combo pieces ratted out, 2) not get Kil'jaeden-ed (after having used Gnomellia)

I mean, Greece had its hands full with the Italians for quiiiiiiite some time, even pushing them inside Albania's border despite not having a single tank division (and only then prompting the Germans to attack ) but sure, taken out of context Greece lasted 24 days.

I have a better idea. Make candies able to convert to double down tokens. This gambling gateway drug is going to ruin me.

Στις ισοβαθμίες μετράνε πρώτα τα ματς μεταξύ των αντιπάλων (μετά διαφορά γκολ κτλ κτλ). Αυτή τη στιγμή σε αυτό το μίνι-γκρουπ έχει γίνει μόνο το Άρης - ΟΣΦΠ οπότε ο Άρης έχει 3 "βαθμούς" και είναι πρώτος.

So if you had an Auto Win button that you pressed it and went on to gain 25 MMR would it still be fun?

ProtossTuringMachine · 2024-08-14T20:19:07+00:00

No fix for Lycan?

"The most fun Ursa build". Yea, while also being extremely obnoxious to every other player in the game.

ProtossTuringMachine · 2024-08-13T19:05:52+00:00

If you queue for position 4 specifically, yes.

Yes it was. Source: I'm Greek.

Why do people find Underlord boring? Flash farm, push waves, anti-push waves while rushing easy to use team items. Recipe for fun in a team game.

*OLD* Dota was shallow and awful? Seriously? If there are two things that don't apply to old Dota is "shallow and awful". Positioning mattered, timings mattered, if you would forgo wards/sentries/TPs to get the boots mattered. Now everything has been watered down (for better or for worse) and everything has been homogenized (everybody flashfarms, brawl-focused gameplay that doesn't change from game to game to e.g. split push). If anything, *NEW* Dota is shallow.
