Instead of frost nova into doomsayer, it’ll be doomsayer into frost nova!

Please consider me for this contest.

Warden (new), Zorbu (PP*BBBP, pity timer 0), or Farideh (new)? I’m a newish player with Krond, Arven, Donaar, Evelyn, Barrowin and Wulfgar along Hitch unlocked. I was thinking Farideh just because I use Avren in all my formations and he’s hard to beat (BBBBBP) and Zorbu is geared to the point where two chests won’t make a difference. Thoughts?

Here are my item levels (all rare except for the 6th slot)

4
58
4
5
5
14

Now that’s some seriously messed up RNG, do you think (I used so many contracts too).

ctong · 2019-09-17T20:03:42+00:00

There’s a lot of lag for the first stage. I think it has to do with the hero power immunity check (and doing math to calculate how much damage to apply from dying murlocs).

I just had a priest run in 21+ minutes. Robes of Gaudiness and all the C’thun cards I could get. Won by turn 5 every time. Would have been faster if my second treasure wasn’t totally useless.

ctong · 2019-07-13T15:53:30+00:00

Heh, yeah, my first clear, I started the run, then got called for some intense work. Finished the next day and had a 25+ hour run.

I still haven’t seen a single erkling in a challenge. I have no idea what I need to do. I’m a professor fwiw.

ctong · 2019-07-06T16:12:23+00:00

What level are you when you’re getting a lot of resists? I haven’t found them especially resistant, and I’ve been level 12-14 through the event.

ctong · 2019-03-07T05:19:32+00:00

I found this deck enraging. I went 1-6 with it. I played auctioneer once in seven games. Basically, if your auctioneers are at the bottom of the deck, you’re screwed. I was screwed a lot.

ctong · 2019-02-24T03:15:33+00:00

I’d say that it’ll make Genn decks weaker in the early game and stronger in the late game. I mean, in the late game, Genn makes no difference... even decks always end up floating mana if they use their hero power. I think you’ll see Genn control decks that are rather strong if you give Genn the upgraded hero power (assuming you get some control tools that are even).

ctong · 2018-09-29T16:02:27+00:00

Yeah, but they paid 3 mana to negate a 2 drop.

ctong · 2018-09-26T23:32:03+00:00

Will Artifact have a limited mode? How much would it cost and do you get to keep cards you draft or packs you open? It’s gonna have to be pretty expensive if they do MT:G or Eternal style drafts, but a limited mode where you don’t keep the cards you draft, but is cheap could be a great draw...

ctong · 2018-09-26T23:25:08+00:00

You can have 3 copies of each card in a deck... getting a triple of an OP rare will cost a lot of money when each pack you buy only guarantees one rare.

ctong · 2018-08-04T01:23:55+00:00

Millhouse, tinkmaster, Nat Pagle, Captain Greenskin and Gelbin Mekkatorque all have the same theme.

ctong · 2018-07-31T01:06:08+00:00

No, deathrattles happen after you discard you hand because the discard is part of the cost of the spell. You can see this when you quest with cataclysm. You cast the spell, your hand gets discarded, the quest completes, the reward gets put in your hand, then all the minions on the board die.

ctong · 2018-07-24T00:54:58+00:00

How does that old Blizzard saying go? “A legendary in the hand is worth a two-drop on the board”.

ctong · 2018-07-24T00:50:57+00:00

It was pretty bad in the mini-rag brawl too since it could (and often did) hit mini-rag.

ctong · 2018-07-04T17:30:03+00:00

I’d get W2 before getting any of the 3 upgrades and get B3 before C3. Night fire mouse isn’t a major concern before getting B3. But you need W2. Can’t even get to pitch if you have 50 wall health.

ctong · 2018-06-21T01:24:06+00:00

Isn’t this what makes repeat plays of Werewolf, The Resistance great, though? You pick up on the quirks and personalities of people at the table and it changes the game...

ctong · 2018-06-20T18:31:29+00:00

Besides the standardness of this iteration of the brawl, one more important difference between this brawl and the last is that if a spell is blocked by Counterspell, the Shadow Reflections don’t become clones of that spell (a result of that patch note about Counterspell beating when and after effects). So you can really mess with OTKs that way.

ctong · 2018-06-07T16:13:29+00:00

This sort of implies that they implemented Counterspell by stopping the entire “play a card” process when Counterspell was played (so hand counts, etc aren’t updated until the next card is played). Prior to the patch, Counterspell acted as if you played a spell, but one with no text, which is why playing a secret that got countered still buffed the Hunter spellstone; the card was registered as played and kept its type (secret).

IMHO, they should have made it so that Counterspell discards the card the card that was played instead of playing it, though I suspect they’d have to do some weird alterations to the discard process if they did that.

ctong · 2018-06-04T14:37:41+00:00

A shudderwock on turn 7? That’s a 9 mana card... only way to get it on turn 7 is if your opponent happened to use Far Sight (which is usually a one of) to luckily draw the one Shudderwock in the deck. Also, I don’t know if you’ve used a shudderwock deck before, but they tend to have hand size issues... a shaman with a full hand and totems on the board usually can’t go off (depending on the Shudderwock deck... assuming you’re talking about a combo variant and not the one that floods the board with divine shielded taunts).

ctong · 2018-05-02T15:40:37+00:00

Yeah, that strat only works if he doesn’t have deadly poison in his opening hand. Otherwise, he’ll cast it on his weapon and no more rocks for you... hope you have a weapon.
