Hearthstone

I was waiting for him to exhaust his removal and/or monkey up before playing Cthun. Then, I played monkey a couple turns after I played Cthun. I used my last removal on his Cthun. I may have been too liberal with my removal use earlier in the game. I was playing this list:



I used first Brawl on T5. He had AoP and 2 other small minions on board and I had none.
Used second Brawl on T10 when he had Sylvanas and 2 small minions and I had none.
Used Shield Slam 1 on T11 on an Ancient Shieldbearer. This was probably unnecessary.
Used Execute 1 on his Doomcaller on T15. Game is looking good at this point - he has 29 health, I have 47.
Use Execute 2 on his Cthun on T16.
He plays Monkey and Nexus Champ1 on T18.
He plays Nexus Champ2 on T19. I play 16/16 Cthun - kills 1 but leaves the other at 1 health.
T20 he Mulchs my Cthun.
T22 I Monkey. The last undrawn card in my deck is Shield Slam.

So that's what went down. Flame away.

Meh. It sounds like you just got fucked over by monkey rng, it happens. Pretty hard to beat him getting hard removal from Saraad.

Yeah, you can and will get completely fucked over by monkey rng sometimes. I've lost on more than 1 occasion where I had a huge card advantage because my opponent's last card was deathwing or something similar.

But yeah, you also probably didn't take the right approach through the game. While playing any variation of control warrior when you run into another control warrior play the game assuming its going to fatigue. Very rarely do you want to draw, avoid using shield block unless necessary such as to remove a serious threat w/ shield slam or your opponent has board control and you have no play this turn or the following. Early game you don't want to give them free cards with AoP, but late game, when most of their deck is drawn anyway feel free to make them draw as many cards as possible. You need a gorehowl in your deck, 2 fiery win axes is not enough weapon removal. Justicar almost always asap in control matchups, against warrior I'll even keep her in hand.

Just ask yourself before you play anything do I really need to do this? Like in your first brawl scenario aop and two small minions so, what 5-6 damage a turn and you're probably around 30 health, you can "heal" 2 a turn, is it really that threatening? Don't think you're getting value denying draw from the aop, it'll likely help him in the long run.

Yeah, good points. My thought process was, yeah, deny him draw and also that you don't get that many good Brawl opportunities against other Control Warriors. I think the main thing I was missing was that those cards become other resources later after Monkey, so I shouldn't feel like I have to play them now. Anyhow, thanks all for the feedback.

Explain?

Ahhhh yeah.....nefarion gave me an entomb, suck it priest bitch.

I keep hearing priest is in a bad spot this expansion, yet I can't stop running into priests. I imagine its getting wrecked by the rampant zoo, shaman, hunter and aggro warrior, but the moment I queue up control warrior I'm going to run into one.

Priest has some ok matchups, but they got fucked harder than any other class by gvg and naxx rotating out. I've done ok with N'Zoth priest but C'thun priest has been very hit or miss, although I've built up some ridiculously large C'thuns that would even put a druid to shame.
