i wish my opponents did that stuff.

~~

i tried grove tender(s) in my big ramp for a while. i also feel im not elite with druid. but my conclusion was wild growhts were better, having both was too clunky, and you get punished with just the tenders too often.

Only time I've seen Grove Tender is in mill druid. This is an interesting use for it.

Some reason I believe the RNG is off with portals - i don't think it's equally weighted at all

i played a lot of portals the season gvg came out and assure you i went on tons of streaks getting elven archers and dalaran mages

people just cant shake the mindset of legendaries being super rare in packs but equal to every other minion here. there are like 1.5x as many legendary as epic for instance

4 mana and 2 cards to end up with essentially a Silverback Patriarch.

What is the appeal of UP? Spend two mana to get a random card where you save 3 mana? So basically in order to save 1 mana net you take a random card over any other card you could put there?

edit to add: And you don't even always get this 1 mana swing.

it has low downside and potentially huge upside. playing it turn two and getting a 6/7 drop to play the next turn is game-winning

Tempo Mage Turn 2:

"do 1 damage"

"add a random minion to your hand that can potentially just win you the game."

yeah I don't see the point of Unstable Portal either.

The bad UP cards are not that bad, while the good cards win you the game.

UP has tons of synergy with Sorc apprentice/mana wyrm. I didnt find UP that great in mech mage but its amazing in tempo mage. Even when you pull a crap card it turns out being a 0 mana drop so it really is great.

unstable portals also add an element of skill, since it's a random element that if you're a good player, you'll use to your advantage

this game is honestly so troll and makes me feel bad about games as a whole

started this morning at 5:0. Run 1-5 with Druid. Get upset. Switch to Facehunter. Win 5 in a row. Back to 5:2.

I just wish I could send a hand written letter to everyone I've beat with Facehunter and tell them I'm sorry. I just did what I had to do.

From 12 to 5 today might try to hit legend this month, Tempo Mage feels really strong

Speaking of Unstable Portal, I am playing a Mage right now that just dropped Hogger on Turn 3. Unstable Portal is good sometimes.

edit: His second Unstable Portal was Toshley.

Ok, this is pretty troll. I beat the guy that drew Hogger and Toshley from his Unstable Portals. The very next game I'm up against another Mech Mage. I play 2 webspinners and draw 2 Captain's Parrots.
