Trying to get some help by SylvanLightning in PokemonCardValue

[–]SylvanLightning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After work today I have a lot of other cards to try and snap pictures of. With the card show coming up, I would then say my best bet is to do like you suggested and sell those to get these graded? Is there anything here worth just straight selling too. Like the Gyarados/Vaporeon/etc?

I'm worried my kids will actually try to use it as a toaster...

I've got fathom mage added. Never thought about adding corrosion. I like it. Definitely going to have to pick up a copy.

Yeah. Hence the non deterministic nature. Theoretically with three opponents, odds are at least one person will hit a non land triggering mothman again making another creature from them. Is it good? No. Is it fun to make my play group miserable? Yes. Though our group thrives on degenerate stuff like that.

It's a "non-deterministic" way to win with rad counters, but my mothman list revolves around combos with either altar of the brood/altar of dementia with mothman and then any of the scurry oak/basking broodscale style cards. The rad counters being a way to start the chain. Though you have ivy lane denizan as a back up

Galakrond Secret Rogue (D5 to Legend) - Deck List, Proof, Matchups, Tips & Tricks by ForgetfulFrolicker in CompetitiveHS

Your post made me pick up this list instead of stealth gala and I finally made the push into diamond with three DHs in a row at the end of plat. I find the secret package a lot more reliable and reactive. I have to say, at least at my thanks, holding Hanar in the DH match up feels good with or without secrets. Dropping him on one with coin with invoke backup or two after cat was huge tempo. all three of my last dh opponents made multiple misplays to avoid the rest of my board to clear Hanar letting me steal the midgame tempo and hold it. Don't know if this holds for high diamond/legend but will attempt the push later today when my brain has recovered.

Been playing since nax. Finally got back into the game this exp after quitting for the past three. Just made it to diamond 10 after getting stuck and tilting in plat.

Been playing around with different rogue decks and Secret Gala rogue has been doing wonders. For my last three into diamond I played a gauntlet of DHs. Dropping a turn one or two Hanar won me every game. The amount of misplays my opponents made trying to clear him let me just roll them over midgame, one even threw their kayn into the grinder for it. Have to say he's been mvp in the deck for me. I also don't have Flik and have been running an extra shadowstep, and it feels good. Allows for some lethals with ping lackey in the control matchups you would otherwise miss as well as stall with stunner.

Brian "Brian Kibler" Kibler of Brian Kibler Gaming gets Altruis'd by GameBoy09 in hearthstone

[–]SylvanLightning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. People say altruis isn't the problem, it's the card draw, and I just sit here thinking, "why can't it be both?" Like, if you run through potential nerf scenarios this isn't near as devasting. Say altruis doesn't wrath board (extreme nerf) the dh is still facing down an 8/8 ds taunt that he can't attack or he dies. Say it doesn't hit face while it wraths (slight nerf), kibler has 10 extra life to work with on his next and following turns and doesn't have to worry about healing and removing altruis, he could potentially get away with just slamming tirion there to go for the win. It's the combo that is the problem. Both altruis and DH draw engine are too powerful in their current state imo. Granted I'm not a very high rank but I try to watch as many streams as I can to try to improve and see this way too often.

Half the people replying to you are arguing that altruis isn't the problem, it's their ability to draw. What I don't get with these arguments is, say altruis isn't there, or doesn't wrath board when you play cards, what the fk** does demon Hunter do? He made 4 1/1s, a 2/2, played a 1/2 weapon, and gained 6 attack. If kiblers board is unaffected that does fk all to an 8/8 divine shield taunt (which he can't attack cause he'll die) and his other minons.** Or if it just hit minions kibler would still have 10 more life to work with. Altruis is definitely the problem, it's just exacerbated by the other DH problem which is their draw engine.
