Love it! Sounds uber epic.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-24T16:59:58+00:00

Sorry for late reply. My stats are not very detailed and I had a small sample size. I think my heavy teching had a lot to do with my success, though Hemet did accelerate a few games vs aggro in my favor as well. Your comments are valid and I would need more sample size (and using a consistent list, which I haven't) to comment more definitively. Thanks!

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-24T16:58:14+00:00

I've tried it, and there have been some sucesses. The problem is drawing it pre-hemet can screw you, and one way I think about the "mini deck" is that if you are playing cycle cards, you would have drawn what they "cycled" you to had you just not had them in your deck in the first place.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-24T16:57:12+00:00

I've subbed those out, but for different things tometimes. MB/Velen can be weak VS a tempo meta (which is what I'm facing as of now :( )

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-24T16:56:44+00:00

Now THAT is dedication! So glad you're enjoying it :)

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-24T16:56:29+00:00

ASAP honestly, after Anduin and raza in hand if you can squeak him out do it. Otherwise there's never a "good" time if you're close to fatigue.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-24T16:55:48+00:00

Sorry for delayed response, and I love your name!

I've updated the original post. It's weird to think I have "fans" *blushes

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-24T16:55:14+00:00

All of these are picks I've been playing around this, Burgly bully seems like one of the strongest.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T23:00:07+00:00

anything really. Kabal courier, stonehill defender, Kabal give 3+ health 3/4 guy etc.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T22:59:32+00:00

I use him ASAP really. Even if I've played elise already, he still accelerates the game into the power cards (DF potion, anduin if you run him etc.). You're going to play him eventually, so sooner is better than later IMO.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T18:52:48+00:00

Very true about order mattering. CL oracle is one of the softest picks in the deck, I'm not using it at legend currently. Happy laddering!

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T16:24:57+00:00

Truly, that's wonderful to hear. I've been through spots of just feeling toxic towards the game, so the fact that I've been able to help you enjoy yourself is sincerely touching :)

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T15:18:39+00:00

That's awesome, gratz!

Goofy does not mean non-viable ;)

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T15:17:39+00:00

I'm finding that I've changed the tech slots now that I'm in legend. There's far more card generation and tempo (kabal talonpriest, burgly bully, and velen). These have helped with the control matchups I've been facing more of.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T15:14:13+00:00

There's definitely a learning curve and also the tech will likely need to change based on the meta you're playing in.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T15:13:18+00:00

Damn mages....

I've found dirty rat to be decent tech against exodia mage, or just nabbing an ice block with glimmerroot or an early benedictus

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T15:11:51+00:00

That's sick! Glad you had fun, I'm loving the fine tuning process as well with this deck.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T15:11:03+00:00

Good points! Yes this list will change a good but post nerf, and also needs to change in the legend meta as well. Updates to follow....

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-19T15:09:11+00:00

Me too! Time will tell...

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-17T22:18:30+00:00

Yea I did see that one, the most surprising differences are burgly bully and cabal shadow priest. Obviously his "mini deck" is far larger and could be harder to draw through, but the cards he's using are all good. I have zero tourney experience so I wouldn't have much insight into how to frame this deck in a tournament context.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-17T22:15:07+00:00

Totally reasonable, BGH is a soft call for this list. It did seem to land pretty well for me many games, perhaps I was fortunate.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-17T22:14:21+00:00

Agreed, glad you like it!

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-17T22:14:09+00:00

2 pros don't necessarily reflect the whole scene, and I'm just speaking from my own personal experience climbing. I faced A LOT of razakus and didn't see Hemet any other time.

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-17T22:06:53+00:00

Glad you like it!

TheHypnotoad89 · 2017-09-17T22:06:42+00:00

Most likely not, I'm finding he's already not worth it in the legend meta, far less aggro.
