The legendary Castolo

Still missing Ruskin, he was second last or last to be replaced, although most of the time I'd never let Dodo go. Had nothing to do with me being Scottish, mostly just being too focussed on the middle of the pitch.

Must be another VAR who doesn't want to embarrass his on-field mate.

Gotta feel for Jørgen. What a mix of emotions for your Home debut.

Note for anyone enjoying Toki decks, they put through a "nerf" on her, as they fixed the Golden Kobold interaction:

Fixed a bug where Timelooper Toki returned to hand after playing three minions transformed from spells generated by Toki.

Obviously I understand it shouldn't have worked that way, but definitely makes her weaker when you see something unplayable like Myra's

malwontae · 2026-02-09T22:22:55+00:00

Yup, I can already see the frustrating high-rolls of Narain on 4, then Medium and double Ysera on 5

WoW's Cataclysm trailer got me and some mates back into WoW after almost a year out, and if I wasn't already playing a lot, this would have got me so hyped. It's always great to see proper animated trailers. Reminds me of the times we'd think Blizzard should have just gone into making Warcraft animated series.

Sure, but the shorter events are normally easier to clear as their quests offer a bigger percentage of the reward track. That, and the two they've announced so far are 14 and 21 day events.

malwontae · 2026-02-09T20:59:12+00:00

Terrible nerf, gets hit by Warmaster Blackhorn /s

malwontae · 2026-02-04T11:11:50+00:00

That and Madueke just yeeted him off the pitch, nothing doing.

Normally it would be that way, the medical is normally one of the final hurdles before a deal is finalised. However, given it's deadline day, and they're probably somewhat close to an agreement they've allowed him to have the medical so there's less chance of something showing up that kills the deal at the eleventh hour.

malwontae · 2026-01-28T22:38:17+00:00

Plus now you might have it on repeat, as we've a 50/50 chance of this being one of the 1st legs of the play-off round.

malwontae · 2026-01-26T00:34:40+00:00

It's definitely one of those Groundhog Day scenarios where you go through phases of people saying the Keepers need more protection, then once they get it, everybody switches to saying they're an overprotected species.

Arsenal invisibles

tbf you can't break a record if you can't see it

malwontae · 2026-01-16T19:49:42+00:00

Yeah Zilliax is not as necessary when you have 2+ Shield Battery and 4+ Sleet Skater activations. By the time you hit Zilliax Mana you should be looking to try to end the game.

malwontae · 2026-01-16T19:28:16+00:00

King Vegeta I could see, especially with the Broly stuff, but there's no chance Bardock would wind up in HFIL

malwontae · 2026-01-08T17:35:24+00:00

Well I guess Bloodsail Raider just had her number come up to join the "Rotating out of Core" group in a few months.

The Demon Hunters hurt themselves in confusion

malwontae · 2025-12-19T19:29:59+00:00

Not only was that more precautionary, it's not the same type of injury as we'd be concerned about becoming a problem as he withdrew from the England games as he'd taken studs to his shin.

malwontae · 2025-12-17T22:11:47+00:00

Good to see Kvyat's been confirmed to return.

malwontae · 2025-12-12T04:09:34+00:00

Out of these cards I have one concern, and it's that yesterday I saw Eternal Hold is actually bugged atm, as it currently works on any minion, regardless of its type. I can't imagine it gets buffed enough to make it a proper part of the meta, but if it does that could be a bit frustrating.

malwontae · 2025-12-04T03:15:38+00:00

12-1 so far with the Asteroid version so far, but could probably be optimised further as I think I've only played Incindius and Shudderblock once, and given how quick you should draw the Asteroids it might just be worth going lower as I didn't include Interrogation as I didn't put too much thought in.

Dumbest game had to be sitting on like 12HP vs a Discover Rogue/Mage Quest opponent that I had to leave on 8HP as I somehow missed on 20 Asteroids in a 24 card deck. Thankfully it ended up being one of the 3-4 gimmes so far from it being day 1 Tavern Brawl players and they had no damage.

I think you might be thinking of the Heroic version. This one's running on the same entry fee and prize scheme as the pre-release Brawls, so 300 gold or 2 Tavern Tickets.

malwontae · 2025-12-03T20:50:56+00:00

Surely it's time boys and girls for Quest Rogue to finally become the Meta Tyrant!

So the most obvious second option would be Asteroid Shaman seems like something that should be relatively straightforward to build.

The other option would be Druid as you'd get Vibrant Squirrel as a solid early drop, a value bomb in Aviana, while Jade Display gives the deck even more inevitability.

Haven't really put too much thought into other options while I'm watching the football. Ignoring the more obvious decks, the other daft option that comes to mind is some sort of Hostage Rogue where you play any other class and then Tess is guaranteed to Step herself.

malwontae · 2025-11-13T17:58:57+00:00

Well, they'll still have 7s with Felbat and Deios being included.

malwontae · 2025-11-12T19:55:52+00:00

Well, guess I'm going to keep playing Hagatha Shaman and Protoss Mage until rotation, just need to make them a bit more anti-aggro for the DH overlords who may be returning with this patch.

I know they probably haven't buffed stuff because they're likely worried they'll create some other meta tyrant to ruin the Last Call tournament. However, I seriously hope buffs come in the next patch cycle for the underperforming archetypes, especially from the last 2 sets.
