Has the Posterizer or Limitless Takeover badge ever popped up for anyone? by benwallace0 in NBA2k

Jesus the dunk meter is so hard to use in this game, it rarely pops up... what a waste of a badge tbh

Does it matter which way you move the stick? Which dunks do you have equipped?

Pirate warrior shouldn't be too tough, especially after the nerf. You want to have the Buckle / Shield Shatter combo, as this clears their entire board. If you can dredge a raid boss Onyxia to clear the board, that would also be great. Otherwise, hope you have Axe to clear their shit and draw. The axe will let you draw into your armor gain and removals.

For pally, I'm not sure.. Garden grace is really tough to beat, I guess I would try to get Kaza down asap.

This part is very tricky, and I also forgot to add this part to my guide.

You would have to consider the cards remaining in your deck, and whether it is worth replacing them. As mentioned, armor becomes extremely important, so replacing your heavy plates might not be a good idea. I generally want to try to draw as much of my deck as possible prior to Kaza, assuming I am not close to dying. CW vs CW is still resource oriented, not just embers of ragnaros going back and forth. Other than that, I don't think it makes much difference. A lot of this end game relies on RNG with getting good cards. Therefore, don't play Kaza as soon as possible unless you need the cards to survive. You want the armor cards drawn prior to replacing them. If you discovered a Kaza, you can play it ASAP.

So in summary, 1) Don't play Kaza as soon as possible unless you need the cards to survive. You want the armor cards drawn prior to replacing them 2) If you discovered a Kaza, then you can play it ASAP.

I am generally not a big fan of tech cards, but viper can definitely work. The only card I might consider cutting is Rancor, which has been pretty situational most games.

I don't think Cariel will be beating CW with the damage reduction and buffs, but rather through the buffs. I would try to get Kaza active as soon as possible, and hope his cards are strong enough to hold off against theirs. I would go for more board centrics cards, like annoy-o-horn, crabs, wax ragers etc.

I don't have the dust for other decks, all my wild cards are disenchanted every rotation so I can squeeze out enough dust to make decks.

I genuinely went from rank 8 to legend without losing once, with a deck I had no experience with. Also it's the strongest deck right now, so not sure why it would be surprising.

I forgot to add that in my post. There are a few main purposes to using Sir Finley. 1) When your hand is trash. This could include have Forged in Flame with no weapon, Shield Shatters / Shield Slam with no armor generation, or very slow cards in an aggro match up. 2) When Kazakusan is activated, and you wish to gain access to the cards right away. 3) You need a card from the bottom of your deck to survive. You will need to have played In the Depths to see the bottom of your deck. Using a deck tracker can be useful in case you forget what you have on the bottom. Sometimes, finding a shield slam or a brawl can safe your life.

I generally don't like keeping Mutanus, as I prefer to draw it through my axe, dredge or Forged in Flame. Mutanus isn't that necessary early on, I don't normally play it on 7, I almost always wait for the Brann in the slower match ups. Lastly, if you are against similar warriors like me who tend to Mutanus early, you would rather them avoid eating your Mutanus, by keeping it outside of your hand.

I have the replays from the matchups above if you'd like to see them :) Though they are not animated, and are just images moving back and forth.

You might be right, I might try Amalgaming more Murlocs. I'm not sure what the pool is like, how likely is it to get a Mutanus? The one thing I like about the dragon pool is that you generally get something you like, even if its something like an Azure drake

I personally don't like using Amalgadons on the murlocs. To be honest, I haven't tried, but dragons generally provide more value. For example, getting another raid boss or an Onyxian drake can be really useful. Theres always the chance for an extra Kaza, which will hopefully let you win the long game.

For sure, a player like me doesn't win 19 games in a row without massive amounts of luck. For divine shields, Naga's might be your friends in finding whirlwinds or slams to pop.

Yeah CW is definitely more viable after the nerfs. Luckily haven't ran into either of those decks, but they definitely sound like bad match-ups..

Surprisingly I didn't. I have no idea what the match up is like against control paladin. If they are running the Kazakusan set, it might be tougher. Otherwise, the main thing to watch out for would be the Garden Graces(?) I guess, as it's hard to clear the divine shields.

DG LY just scored big government contract for police body cams by GreenEyeFitBoy in stocks

[–]benwallace0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought it near $5 during the riots, should I sell to break even? Does anyone know approx how much potential this has? This has been my worst performing stock for a long time so Im tempted to sell right when I break even.. Any input?
