just faced a shaman, T8, he has Ragnaros, Gnomish and a Totem on board, I have nothing. Rag hits me down to 9 health.

I'm thinking I'm ****ed. LEEROY so the 2 Whelps give him 5 minions, then Mind Control Tech and I STOLE THE ****ING RAGNAROS

still lost next turn because he had bloodlust !

regardless, one of my most epic plays ever

sitting at 4:1 again. Lost 2, won 3, lost that one. Too scared to continue man. If I derank I will cry. I have confidence I can win games at this level now but man oh man.

Assuming you have no other two drop and an Argent Protector, in what situations would you play it and in what situations would you hero power?

99% hero power assuming you have a normally balanced curve.

well if your opponent face-warrior played a secretkeeper turn1 id prolly play the argent protector.

In arena when facing a 3/2 I will go ahead and do it.

And vs aggro decks on ladder its probably best too

In a slow control matchup though paladins want to hero power as much as you can

Most of Kripp's play is on NA.

Also unsure how he is "so bad".

That's the beauty of ghouls. Even if your opponent plays around them it still buys you a precious stall turn. As the rounds approach infinity I like my chances better and better (excluding shaman and pally).

It was difficult to convince myself to replace the 2nd aco with ysera, but how often are you out of cards? Ysera is the queen bean vs a control deck, and my fav win condition is the random spastic "YSERA AWAKENS" topdeck vs zoolock.

Im running Alex and Geddon already, and I can't see Harrison making too much of a difference vs hunter. I already do well vs hunter and am not seeing many mirrors or pallys these days. Maybe sub 3 is saturated with hunters but I'm seeing waaaay more priests than hunters at 6-4.

What you said about TBK is really surprising to me. Every deck is running sludge belcher atm. Every. ****ing. deck. It's also a gamechanger vs druid and handlock. Still has value vs most every deck in the meta. RIP miracle rogue.

Thanks for the in-depth reply.

Black Knight is still good, but generally I just think it's a pretty much dead card in the Hunter matchup, and killing a sludge belcher is no where near the value it had in prior seasons where you could auto win by killing an Ancient of War or Sunwalker.

For arena I would say servers are about the same, or NA slightly softer, but that might just be due to the hours I play.

Rempel,

Are you done for the season? Do you plan on streaming anytime this week? I'd like to watch your control warrior.

I just finished streaming for today, but I'll be streaming tomorrow at around noon CST/ 6:00 pm CET.

saw this from blizzard numbers

"The longest recorded win streak was 24 games."

cant find it ITT but back when there were 8 mana pyro mages I had invented my mega self heal handlock and won almost 30 in a row.

Maybe it was during beta?

http://www.twitch.tv/cookie_sq about to start an arena, got mage, hunter, priest, if anyone wants to enjoy my drafting skills :-)

Just did a coaching session with cookie. As boring as he might seem when he's solo streaming, it was actually a lot of fun. I guess it helps when you go from 8-1 to 6-3 in the blink of an eye

But how much did you lose?

VOD is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVwiLa1X2Q0

Can't edit the above, but I have a contest for 1 hour of free cookie coaching here: https://cookiestone.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/contest/, winner drawn on tuesday.

Messing around rank 4 with a troll deck.

On turn 13 or so, he has just a couple totems out and I play a Keeper of the Grove and 2 alarm-o-bots with exactly 2 cards remaining in my hand (I had just cast a nourish to draw 3 the turn before). He burns a Hex on my Keeper.

Next turn, I alarm-o-bot out Deathwing and Ysera, draw Ragnaros and play him too. lol

lol bots

I played 3 games on stream last night, said I'd end stream by playing Hearthstone on the ladder until I lost, so I ended up going 2-1

feel free to watch and criticize any errors you see. The 3rd game was bad. Started slow vs a Shaman, had little confidence throughout the game and definitely made some misplays. 2nd game was sketchy but vs a Priest so it might not have been that bad. 1st game I feel I played really well and made the best plays at all time (vs a Handlock who never had many cards.)

I watched the handlock game. The only superbad play I saw was turn 6 (7?) you had a soulfire and poweroverwhelming in hand. You soulfired enemy loatheb, then ran a 3/1 imp into the loatheb to kill it, discarding the poweroverwhelming. Should have just PO'd the imp, thus saving the soulfire for a later turn, yet gaining the same result (dead Loatheb). I probably would have waited a turn or two with the arcane golem. Seems like you had other options that turn, especially knowing the golem was going to get gibbed by the enemy 3/3 next turn. That's a more minor one. Soulfire misplays gotta be zero if you're going to hit legend.

yeah that turn 8 was a huge mistake. that deck should win 95% of the time vs handlock though, its what you want to see every game.

another play i would have done differently was turn 5 you played arcane golem and bluegill to the face to get him to 11, i would have tapped and played leper gnome with bluegill. you needed a card to draw towards powers/soulfire and arcane gave him mana and free molten giants

against the priest on turn 6 you had a squire out, played a dire wolf, then played abusive but didnt make it so dire wolf was in the middle. pretty bad error even though it didnt matter with holy nova

turn 1 you played your best 1drop, well done
turn 2 you played your only 2drop, well done
turn 3 you played your only 3drop, well done
turn 4 you played your only 4drop, well done
turn 5 you misplayed slightly
turn 6 you played all your cards, well done
turn 7 you couldnt play anything, well done
turn 8 you misplayed majorly
