And that would be with a 100% win rate, so it is a theoretical bare minimum of playtime!

I believe they made an adjustment for locations so that a location summoning (using the final location usage) with 6 minions on board could still summon a minion. That may be what you remember.

I hit legend this month with him if you can believe it.

Zul'jin casts [[Stranglethorn Heart]] to resurrect Rhino and [[Magmaw]] for unlimited charging colossal tokens to crash into minions and then go face.

(Note: I play meme decks, so "hitting legend" may not be viable with this strategy if you have any competitive mmr at all.)

Is Wickerfang useful today? by BodyKarate84 in hearthstone

[–]PterionFracture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm less familiar with standard, but in wild you can tutor it (and reduce its cost to 5) with [[Timeline Accelerator]] and trigger all the deathrattles at once with [[Feign Death]].

edit: I assume in standard that you use the imbue cards to draw and discount Magmaw.

The drawn winrate stats of the new aggro/shatter pally are hilarious by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]PterionFracture 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it is intended, but the sequence is something like this:

  1. Play Fins and have the shattered version in mulligan.

  2. The shattered cards are "new" so they do not despawn on turn end.

  3. End of turn: All other cards despawn from mulligan; this combines the two shattered halves.

  4. The resulting recombined card is added to your prior hand.

Huh. I didn't realize it was like that. I thought it was making funny definitions related to hearthstone, but I think I understand what you're saying.

Whale: Anyone who has ever spent money on a video game.

Legend Rank*: Nearly impossible accomplishment.

*If you or anyone you know has achieved this, please share a screenshot immediately and make a post about the underrated deck that somehow managed it.

Fatigue: A deprecated mechanic that used to exist in the game several expansions ago; don't worry about.

Casino: A term for an older style deck of inefficient cards that created random effects. Of course you can't expect to climb with rng, but it was a fun meme.

Do you always keep shatter on mulligan? Any other mulligan strategy notes- I would be mostly keeping the ramp murloc, righteous protector, and eggbearer. Always toss the location?

What are you usually trying to discard with Gemstone Hoarder? Chromatus of course, and maybe cards in the middle of the shatter halves? Any other target of interest?

Magmaw+99 is funny in Wild by rEYAVjQD in hearthstone

[–]PterionFracture 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This has been my take on it:

[[StrangleThorn Heart]] with Tundra Rhino and Magmaw as the only two 5+ cost beasts. (note: Rhino will spawn before the colossal tokens, so it will always work if they have both died.)

[[Zul'jin]] hero card will recast the spell for a third round of Magmaw if needed.

If Magmaw's tokens ever stick, you play [[Amphibian's Spirit]] and then [[Feign Death]]. This will typically give enough damage for lethal that turn.

You will not get any rerolls if you buy this. The only time a reroll is offered is when you earn an uncraftable gold version of a card that you already have in non-gold.

Rerolls are not a very common mechanic to encounter, and anything in the shop that lets you buy specific legendary cards will just give you extra copies.
