    Apparently there's no item cap in the raid this week. We just had someone loot a 390 TF in normal.

    Isn't it random which darkmoon card you get? Blockades is the cheap one because one of the other decks is like 300k so people generate a lot of trash blockades cards trying to get that one.

    OTK isn't even going to dominate, just enjoy two more years of nothing but Odd Paladin and Zoo beating everything. The problem is you can't build a deck with a 100% winrate against aggro, but you absolutely can build a deck with a 0% winrate against OTK. So even if Zoo/Odd Paladin are...

    I wish I had a metagame where decks like this were viable. I dunno if It's when I play or bas luck but I'm sitting around rank 4-6 and It's literally nothing but one OTK combo deck after another. You can't even tech because they're all different. I played against 9 in a row today and all were...

    Mecha-Cthun Druid is infinitely worse. I've played it twice now and got OTKed on turns 14 and 15, respectively.

    Hearthstone

    If necessary you can deal 512 damage and have it split across two 256/1 bodies to beat a taunt, but it requires 9 cards so not sure how viable that actually is. With a hand of 2x Radiant, Topsy, 2x DS, Boar, Test Subject, 2x Vivid: You cast two Radiants and Test Subject, then cast the first...

    Pruning the Politics thread for massive improvements, An experiment. (long read)

    That is definitely a thing that I said. I stand by it, although this thread is probably not the place to argue over why I believe this is true.

    Pruning the Politics thread for massive improvements, An experiment. (long read)

    I'd still really like to know how any reasonable person can come to the conclusion that my views are so insane far left that they can't be real and as such I must be trolling. Do you ever, like, go outside? Is it the fact that I choose to post as the liberal on an overwhelmingly conservative (or...

    Does anyone know if incinerate totems trigger the 500% blast at max stacks or do they just channel forever like they used to do with flameblast? I might do incin totems over arc totems because Scion and Chieftain only work well with fire damage.

    You can always go with the old standby of just using Doon Cuebiyari and stacking STR, that works for any spell totem build.

    I've got no idea why anyone would use anything besides Arc with those numbers. Single target it's only 200 base DPS less than flameblast. It also doesn't cost 400 mana per second, actually works with leech and doesn't require you to stand still for huge periods of time.

    Where I used to live the law said the school zone speed limits applied during certain hours every weekday. It did not contain an exception for school holidays. So on school holidays, the cops would line up in the school zones, where the regular speed limit was 45 mph, and write enormous...

    I still think it's mind-boggling how Blizzard allowed mechanics to be printed that are so powerful that people will play them even if they do nothing a significant percentage of the time. Like, Spiteful Druid is a Tier 1 deck despite the fact that the interaction that it's based around does...

    Looks like Shudderwock is coming back. People are figuring out that 10 board clears, 4 silences, and a control trump beats basically the entire meta.

    It was actually possible in some games to run quest rogue out of threats in a control deck when it was popular before. Now that they have Sonya, it's impossible.

    Hearthstone

    A control deck is pretty much 100% guaranteed to remove your weapon. They'll lose badly if they don't, because if they don't you can get up to 9 Doomguards like you say. Without it, you will never get a significant number of Doomguards to revive. Without your weapon the only way you can get a...

    Dark Possession just deals 2 damage, it doesn't kill the target. It still works as good with the 2/2 but it doesn't let you cube something and then immediately kill your own cube. Not being able to weapon drop Doomguard, swing, cube it, Dark Pact it, and swing twice more would massively nerf the...

    I have no idea why cubelock still isn't playing Rin. It's one card in your deck, and turns all the control matchups from near autoloss to autowin.

    Up to rank 2 with Odd Control Warrior. Figured quest Rogue would have smacked me down by now but it hasn't shown up. Missed legend against taunt Druid, a hugely favorable matchup, because Brawl on a full board left Lich King on his side twice, and every single Lich King proc made a Frostmourne...

    Hearthstone

    It wouldn't really help, you fundamentally can't beat Ultimate Infestation with a control deck. Cubelock can win these matchups because they can go aggro with Doomguards, but pure control can't. Priest presents the same problem as you have to beat three Mind Controls. (one off Archivist) That's...

    I finally said fuck it and stopped durdling around at low ranks and made a metagame hate deck: Went from rank 15 to rank 6 with literally one loss. Spiteful summoner anything or Shudderwock will destroy this but I faced none of that, nothing but face aggro, cubelock, and anti-cubelock hate...

    Nerfing Lifedrinker wouldn't fix it. They'll just play Lone Champion/Twilight Drake instead and just pass the turn with a bunch of 5/infinity taunt/divine shields. Even if you somehow clear that they still have infinite Shudderwocks in hand and will fill the board with those same 5/infinity...

    It's basically Patron Warrior all over again. You have to aggro their face off because there's no way you're ever beating that with anything that's not hardcore aggro. The turn they play Shudderwock they'll deal 12-24 damage to you and gain 12-24 life, then they'll end the turn with like six...

    Lady behind me at work just went on a diet, and is now almost 20 minutes into regaling us with her epic, harrowing story of how she managed to Heroically Drive Past A Dairy Queen Without Stopping To Buy Anything.

    P1 is by far the hardest phase on Argus because the abilities happen in a more or less random order so people have to actually think and not just rely on muscle memory. P3 is 99% (only thing that changes is whether scythes start out spinning or stationary) identical every time.

    Something I'm wondering about, do the even/odd legendaries check the contents of your deck before or after you draw your opening hand? Can you run an evens deck with a quest and have Genn still work because the quest always starts in your hand?

    The 1/3 that discovers dragons and Drakonid Operative are rotating. Lady in White is basically Rin 2.0, it's a control killer. It's not good against aggro or midrange as the game will be decided before you get much value out of it.

    1/1 Acolyte of Pain doesn't draw cards under Commanding Shout so I doubt this would do anything at 3/1. 24 damage in Wild with Bouncing Blade though.

    Control Warlock fatigues much faster than control Warrior does. You will always beat that deck if you go down into fatigue. You're not going to beat Rin but it's favorable if they're not playing that. Control Warlock has few actual threats that matter. Voidlord is basically ignorable. No one...

    People forget just how ridiculous Justicar Trueheart was in control Warrior, starting with that hero power turn 1 is nuts. Biggest thing holding back odd control Warrior IMHO is no silence, because Spellbreaker is 4. If they print a playable one it'll be a great deck.

    Control Warrior is back too. 4 armor hero power from the start and all the important cards are odd. Shield Slam, Whirlwind, Acolyte, Shield Block, Waraxe, Brawl, Direhorn Hatchling, Gorehowl all make it. Reckless Flurry also becomes nuts because five mana to deal 4 to everything worst case is...

    Figure out a way to do WoW-style "hard" and interactive group content, but in EQ-style uninstanced areas, thus combining the respective challenges.

    0% matchups are bad for the game and that's what mill Rogue creates. A huge number of decks are essentially either guaranteed wins or guaranteed losses against this and it's cancerous to ladder to have something like that exist. Same reason the jades were so stupid.

    "Gain Elemental damage as added Chaos damage" absolutely works the way these vids describe, on live, right now. You can do a fairly ridiculous CI Guardian build already that abuses this with Shade of Solaris and Incandescent Heart also making you take 25% less elemental damage. We just don't...
