I completely stopped playing constructed when the nerf hit. (at rank 1, gg timing)

I think I could still hit legend with it (with great difficulty I imagine) but I'm also sure if I spent a week practicing another class/deck, I could as well. (And would be better off in the long run playing/learning a stronger class now that rogue just got wrecked by the nerf.)

I just figure why learn a new deck when things are about to change so drastically.

I figure if I want to HS, I'll just play arena for now.

I believe I had a front row seat to a world first where I witnessed Malorne get played in ranked play before GVG: http://i.imgur.com/bSKc4cH.jpg. Would you believe that I actually won this game? :-) I had mind control but was too low health to use it.

Btw, my tag is CoffeeAttack#1929 - add me!

If I just immediately closed the client when that happens and restart I would get back in with enough time to complete my turn. You have to do it immediately though. I saw Sjow do it once and since then have used the method a handful of times.
I closed and re-entered, but 1 turn was already skipped and i was roping the next one, so i was turbo ****ed

Can't believe how frequent it is, what are the odds? Nuts. How did you deal with Malorne?

I'm pretty sure there were some solutions floating around for >9 deck slots.

Yeah Whirling Zap o whatever can get out of hand.

Shaman arena I have going.

T1: Coin the Mech that reduces mechs by 1.
T2: Whirling Zap-o matic (3/2 Windfury). No Answer for it.
T3: Flametounge + the 1/2 Divine Shield+Taunt Mech to protect Zap-o

Opponent was at 15 and conceded before my Turn 4.

I just got to see Bolvar played as a 9/7. It didn't matter much though as the guy had to concede right after playing him.

I have been **** on tremendously since the new cards came out. Everyone seems to have infinite numbers of awesome new cards. I get +2 atk/ heal 4 offered 6 times.

The new priest legendary can be completely gamewrecking, cool card. I was dominating a game completely, but then he easily took out my biggest guy with a loot hoarder and had the biggest thing on board with heals at the ready.

Overall, cool set, although they did put more blowout cards in it, which I think isn't great in the long run. I loved winning a game inch by inch but most of the time one of the players now can do something really unfair to just crush the other.

I did get to play the 2 drop that gets +1 atk each turn and put a +2/+4 on it the turn after. Sadly he had the perfect answer, would have been dead in 3 hits.

Contrast this to coining out a Defias Ringleader with another 2 drop behind for example (provides an obvious advantage against most expected plays), even if your opponent decides to hero power the 2/1 you've been given a tempo advantage due to the fact that they spent t2 hero powering instead of adding to the board and you will be able to drop a 2 drop t2 for a very likely advantage with a 2/2 and 3/2 on board.
good advice, ty. I just need to cut all the crap out and that's prob the difference between Rank 5 and Legend right now. Assume I throw away 1 in 5 games by being an idiot and a 55% or 60% win rate really goes up to 70-80% quick.

I completely get that coining out Direwolf is a bad play. I'll have to rewatch my games but I think at the time I figured I don't have a better play. My starting hand was all 4 and 5 drops which had synergy, so I wanted to wait. I tried to rushdown like Garibaldi said but it obv failed miserably because I had no plays to follow it up. Gotta start thinking more than 2 or 3 turns ahead

streaming a bit last night made me realize how much I miss it through. Hopefully there's a lot more where that came from over the next month and beyond. Then everyone in here will get a chance to watch me and criticize my misplays

Anyone drafted Fel Reaver yet?
Seems pretty damn op. Drafted 2 mech warpers, playing Fel reaver on Turn 4 insta GG. (Turn 5 pretty good too lol). Not too many classes can deal with an 8/8 so early, the games end before you get milled out. (If you run out of cards you don't take fatigue damage from the mill)

Paladin just played "Holy Wrath" on my Sunwalker and it said 0 damage but the bubble still popped. Was the zero because of the divine shield or does a zero mana card actually pop the bubble?

I killed him without seeing the card obv

edit: I guess there aren't really any zero cost cards he is likely to have so the bubble prevents me from seeing how much the card costs, which is annoying

maybe he had a wisp and he never *quite* had the perfect time to play it

edit: but on that note, i wonder if a zero damage holy wrath breaks a divine shield or not. hmm.

Yeah, it does that, because he did zero damage.

Even if you attack with a minion into DS, it says 0. Reason being(I think): Cards that effects where "x happens upon taking damage", they can't be triggered by popping DS.

Pretty sure i am god awful at drafting the new cards. A whole lot of 3 wins or less arena runs, with one 9 win deck off the back of a stacked-ish shaman deck

Think the main problem is that i am snap drafting any new card, especially the ones that are rnjesus based. Big fan of the ones that put a random 2 or 4 drop minion on the board
