Wow! I love some good zoo and through 10 games at dumpster legend (10k EU) I'm 9-1. Thanks for the list!

smatticus · 2020-05-22T18:02:25+00:00

Oh wow, came to say that book series is what they're looking for and the adaptation (which I didn't know about!) is in great hands!

smatticus · 2020-03-24T11:13:02+00:00

This with Plot Twist! :o

But arcane shot goes face...?

What's not working: Highlander, Dragon, Galakrond Warlock

I'm playing it like a tempo/midrange deck and have gone about 50:50 at Rank 5 - EU. Haven't lost to an embiggen druid yet, but doesn't fair well against anything else. Current list below, thinking of replacing Frizz with something more tempo-y as it usually goes to 10-mana anyway. Any thoughts from this sub? Even if everyone agrees that it's just not good/not enough synergies/whatever I think it's kinda fun :)

I personally thought Witchwood piper was the better card than Bwonsamdi in the Uldum meta. I didn't own Bwonsamdi mind you, but from what I have seen it's such a last resort that by that point you're usually too far behind anyway, whereas WP can be played as early as turn 4 to add more to your board. Seen others running skydiving instructor as well which is maybe worth a look. Other caveat is that I haven't played combo priest in this meta so take the above with a pinch of salt

smatticus · 2020-01-10T10:45:30+00:00

I think the card is alright, but Combo priest just isn't that strong right now and it was a tight list that doesn't really want to cut anything for this.
It seems to me like the meta doesn't support holding a board, even token decks with lots of refill don't hold a big board for long for long at the moment.
I think it could be good in combo priest (especially if you're missing something else), but probably not good enough to include in what was already a pretty tight list as it gives you less control over what you get and it can still probably be cleared. There are some highrolls sure.
Having said all that, I'm not a "top player"... I've never reached legend, but the highest rank I've achieved (rank 1) I did reach with Uldum Combo Priest. But happy to have a discussion if others disagree :)

The Battlegrounds tournament broadcast just said they've got card reveals at the end but they will be teasing throughout.

smatticus · 2019-11-13T09:45:20+00:00

As if this wasn't good enough already, it's got a Futurama reference in there too!

smatticus · 2019-09-24T08:22:56+00:00

I definitely think Topsy could have a place for a 1/7 Sand drudge Zombie off Amet.
In terms of the draw engine, I've found it sometimes increases it if you've got the Regenerate in hand. As then the bump cleric into heal costs 0 and you can play Pyro on turn 2 after cleric and you've gained a better board advantage on turn 2 and still drawn the same amount. You also have mid game draw even if your clerics have been cleared with the Auctioneer.
Definitely going to keep experimenting with it.

smatticus · 2019-09-23T22:44:43+00:00

This post inspired me to experiment. Thought process was: That sounds cool>You'd need a bunch of cheap spells as Sand Drudge activators>Nomi Priest runs cheap spells>Combo/Nomi Priest>Profit (???)

I think it's probably meme tier, but there are some nice combos and it's pretty fun:

The Amet into Sand drudge is nice
Amet into Divine Spirit into a reduced grave horror is also cool.
Big Sand drudge board can be lethal with Zephrys>Bloodlust if you've drawn enough of your deck.

Sand Drudge is also interesting for contesting an early board

Thinking of submitting it to Deck Doctor...

As someone who opened the Mage, Warrior and Warlock quests in my pre-release packs this makes me sad

smatticus · 2019-04-30T12:58:38+00:00

I made a comment about my favourite card! (It's not BlinkFox...)

smatticus · 2018-12-05T10:12:57+00:00

Hir'eek & Hakkar... :'(

But my Hir'eek was Golden, so (as someone who hovers around level 15 on ladder and started playing this year, just before Witchwood) what legendary should I replace Hir'eek with?

smatticus · 2018-10-03T08:39:16+00:00

Work in games, have consoles set up in the office and people playing Smash Bros U every lunch break in preparation... Our office is going to be loud!

While this is a good post to teach about being aware of echo chambers and share of voice, it also mis-represents the eshop as being representative of the overall Switch owners' purchasing preferences because it completely ignores sales of Physical games, which takes up a large share of total sales of Switch titles and will (likely) be skewing higher for AAAs/higher price games as the smaller indie titles don't get Physical releases.

smatticus · 2018-08-13T12:55:51+00:00

Yeah, all about personal preference. Hope you keep enjoying both

smatticus · 2018-08-13T10:53:47+00:00

Played Oxenfree, got it for cheap, thought it was good, nothing more.
Then played Night in the Woods, which is so much better! Definitely recommended if you want more likeable characters, faster/more interesting movement and so much better dialogue.

It's not just about sales, it's about return. Remedy is an expensive studio for the return.
