Just speechless after this one. Could not have gone much better. +7 health, +8 armor, wiped his board, did like 7 damage to him, got a board, 2 Nerubian Ambushers come out next turn, his swipe just gets replaced by my effigy, 4 minions get buffed by competitive spirit for over-lethal next turn.

And Yogg came back

PRAISE HIM

No screenshot unfortunately, but clearing a spell casting quest with my 29 spell + Yogg druid deck that has like a 5% win rate (the deck exists to clear spell casting quests).

Playing against freeze mage at rank 22 wild (lol), he alex's me to 15 on turn 8 after emperoring on turn 7. Down to 15 health and 9 mana, I heal for 8 and then innervate innervate yogg.

I'm not sure what all spells got cast, but there was an opponent swipe, his alex died somehow, I drew a bunch of cards, yogg got polymorph boar'ed, and then got bestial wrathed, I got savage roar, and I got an eye for an eye cast.

I was able to get him down to 3 health with my buffed boar, and then he killed himself on his turn torching my face and getting eye-4-eye'd.

LOL Yogg...

Had an interesting YOGG interaction that even deck tracker didn't know existed. My opponent got a mage and a paladin secret while at 9 HP. I smacked my opponent for 9 triggering ice block but leaving the pally secret up. By my next turn deck tracker identified the secret as redemption or sacred trial, but to my surprise I triggered eye for an eye and hit myself for 9 (down to 1 HP). Apparently since I technically didn't deal damage the previous turn, due to ice block, it prevented eye for an eye from triggering.

Which version though? The list with Onyxia is fun.

Thought I was gonna lose vs a control warrior who dropped the monkey with 6 cards in hand and 14 in his deck but PRAISE YOGG. Dropped it on a board with a 1/1 and he had a chromaggus. Drew me 5 cards, wiped his board, Call of the wilded and unleashed to leave me with a full board and buffed himself to 11/5. I'm guessing my opponent has PTSD considering that was the 4th CoTW I played that game.

Yogg has killed me 3 times in a row tonight

what have i done to displease my lord

Just had my sylvanas steal Yogg when my opponent played him then when Yogg casted thistle tea I drew a card instead of my opponent and got 3 hexes. Must be a bug right? My opponent was pretty pissed I imagine.

That's an intentional interaction.

Just never play YOGG with Sylvanas on the opponents board

Yogg is casting the spells, so whatever side of the board yogg is on, that person is getting the spells

Didn't know that, cool.

My Reno Yogg vs villain's Zoolock (i.e. the GOAT vs WOAT HS decks)

Turn 10 and I'm losing fast, because that's what you do vs Zoolock. Villain's at 22 health, I'm at 2 and just had my iceblock popped. He has a darkshire councilman on board, I've got Yogg in hand but have only cast 4 spells:

Pyroblast to villain's face
Blessing of Kings on Yogg to set up exact lethal
Iceblock to save the day
Vaporize to rub it in

Yogg and Reno getting phased out of standard will be the death of HS.

Yogg's servant doing some work for me in arena playing Astral communion for my opponent with 6 cards on t5

last 3 games I've had opponents down to 1, 3 and 4 health respectively when i dropped YOGG, lost all 3 games just **** off

Villain takes me down to 8 hp, with activated Gromm and two full hp Blackwing Corrupters, and a FWA with one charge left. I have nothing on board.

TFW first spell through the door is DOOM!, followed by Sprint later (Flamestrike was in the middle for good measure).

Next turn I get to Brann into Velkor, followed by C'Thun the turn after.

Praise him

So I play Yogg priest against controll pally, we're into fatigue. He plays Sylvanas into Monkey, has Baine Bloodhof on board, my board is empty. I play Yogg, he manages to clear his board, summon full board of minions for me and the last spell he casts is Doom that makes me draw like eight cards which loses me the game. **** Yogg, seriously.

So firebat is running a tourney where the fans get to vote on cards to ban. 2nd place got 3242 votes (tuskar). Our savior YOGG got 7188. First I'd like to lol at those people that get so angry by the greatness that is YOGG. Second I'd like to remind them that they'd enjoy Yogg more if they praised YOGG more.

Yogg should have been the first card I crafted.

In game vs. Mor_Tilt's Reno Rogue, Yogg (I'm playing Yogg-Maly Druid) cleared board and did damage, drew cards for me and then vanished himself, so I got to play him the next turn, I win.

Next game I'm playing some rando Zoolock, I'm at 7 hp he's at 26 and has full board, with buffed councilman, knife juggler and taunts. (All I have in hand are Emperored Yogg and Maly, because obviously I burned through my damage cards trying to keep Councilman/Knife Jugglers from getting out of control.)

I play Yogg, who casts DOOM! and I draw 8 cards (including Innervate and Swipe), and I get a 5/4 summoned. Yogg sends a fireball to my face so we're at 26 hp and 1 hp. He plays Forbidden Ritual. I play Maly + Innervate + Swipe (9 to the face). I hit him with the 5/4 so he's at 10 hp.

He's forced to tap and essentially concedes by playing Flame Imp.

Yogg has to be the most fun card in the game. So way to ban fun.

some people get like, suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper grumpy about things having some rng. er, as long as its rng that worked against them. they love their implosion hitting for 4 tho cause that was skill or something

praise be to yogg

If people don't enjoy variance/RNG they shouldn't play card games? I suppose HS poker players would understand this concept better than most.

Part of the reason I didn't go for Yogg earlier was that I've run good against him and he always ended up killing the opposing hero.

But I've realized that, on average, casting spells is good for you, bad for your opponent. Yogg represents INCREDIBLE value and tempo - the fact that he can get off 15-20 spells in one turn for 10 mana is amazing and he's more likely to heal you than kill you.

Praise him.

Your argument against people who don't like Yogg isn't very good. I personally enjoy playing the card, but can see the legitimate gripes with it in a competitive setting. There's really nothing you can do to play around it and you can have your opponent drawing dead only for them to drop Yogg and turn the game around. Yes you have to build your deck around it, but taking an otherwise grim situation and turning it into a win solely based on RNG is pretttttttty dumb from a competition standpoint.

There has been waaaay too much attention on the people who dont like me (like me) and the people who love yogg (most of the people on this board)

The simple argument is if you are looking for a competitive game or whatnot, a card like Yogg shouldn't exist. It's not that the randomness is bad, its that the card is too strong AND is fully backed up by randomness. I'm all for super random cards to be generally bad. Like, say, spreading madness. But I'm pretty pissed when it comes to a competitive environment where the best cards are also the maximal rng
