Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
5 isn't even super special, it just seems crazy because it happened to be fireballs and he drew them all. I'm sure most of us have been offered 5 of a card multiple times but it's some card we'd never take 5 copies of so we don't really pay attention.

It wouldn't have been odd if it was over an entire deck - but in the top 15 cards having 5 copies means screwed drawing or he should've had 10 FBs in the deck...
Not to mention the 3 dupe Arcane and 6 or so Murlocs...
Drafted 5x of the same card plenty of times, never see more than 2-3 in the first half of the deck myself.

Well RNG is like that sometimes. I complain everytime I get hit with a pyro cause come the fuck on I never get pyro, but at the same time the other day I was playing shaman and I got 4fire elems, 3argent commanders and 2 earth eles(which are epic rarity, so even seeing one doesn't happen often). Still lost at 6wins, deck too slow so got fucked on starting hands a couple of times but regardless, randomness is weird. What was even weirder is both picks I had the exact same 3 epics to choose from, granted there's not that many epics but still.
And sometimes you get all your cards at the start and sometimes never/at the end. Again more RNG, he might just have decided to keep a fireball, mulliganed into more then drawn all the rest. Tbh I'd be pretty angry if I draw only fireballs unless the opponent wasn't playing much, until you see that 4+fireball, going for fireball to the face and doing nothing else isn't an optimal play when opponent is at 20+.

Well the Arcane x3 kept all my early critters dead, then the next three FB's took out my next critters - and the other 3-4 (I think I may have understated the turn number) were to my dome.
If he'd have not done Arcane x3 to start the game with it probably wouldn't have even registered to me.

Yeah, they need to fix that shit.
Should cap out just like constructed imho.
Some cards are just way too powerful to have more then duplicate copies of.

Getting 100 gold for unlocking every card seemed a little lame. I don't know what I was expecting.
My buddy recently came up with a stalling warlock control deck that utilizes mountain giants, molten giants, 4 minions that add taunt to the minions next to them, jaraxxus, and a buttload of removal spells. He basically sits there and does almost nothing for a few turns except drawing cards while you beat on him and he uses removal cards on your minions. He'll then drop the giants depending on what is better for him at the time and put the cheap add taunt to minions next to them. Now he has massive taunters and pops jaraxxus and start pooping out 6/6 minions for 2 mana and more cheap giants and others until you are toast.
I was only able to beat him 1 time after i constructed about 4 different decks that I thought could deal with it. I tried rushing him down and I would get close but he always had enough removal(warlocks have godly removal) and minions to deal with the situation until he dropped the cards that made him autowin. He tells me the giant thing will work with almost any deck and he's right to point, but I think it's the jaraxxus that puts it completely over the top.

That deck has been around for a long time. Giants are amazing cards, but the only one I see that might be getting a nerf is the Molten Giant. We can't have Warriors winning too much.
I'm not really sure what they could do with 'em though. Maybe having a minimum cost associated with them or change their mechanics entirely.

I have been playing Totem/Stealth Shaman and I would like to report to my RR Bros that Acolyte of Pain is a general common card that is just about strictly better than Manatide Totem, a shaman rare. Both cost 3. Both have 3 health. Acolyte has 1 power while Manatide has 0. Manatide is a 'Totem' subtype, which applies to Totemic Might (+2 Health to all Totems). Acolyte has no subtype.
1 attack is better than an off-chance and underpowered class synergy.
The rub comes when you ask yourself how many cards you can expect to draw from either the Acolyte or the Totem. I say: one against a good player, two against a bad one. I think that applies for both cards. Therefore the only real difference is the possible +2 Health synergyORthe 1 Attack. The 1 Attack wins hands down. If an opponent kills your dude with a 3 DMG spell, it is a rub. If it takes him one creature to attack yours and kill it, it is a rub. But if by any chance it takes him two creatures to kill it, his character or his creatures will take 2 damage from the Acolyte AND you will draw 2 cards. The same assault against Manatide will just result in your own loss of your card-draw-guy, no cards drawn, and no damage done.
Both cards do the same thing usually, which is present the opponent with 3 Health to deal with, while drawing you a card. But Acolyte of Pain has a better potential outcome than Manatide Totem. Adjust Shaman Arenas as needed: Acolyte of Pain (common) is better than Manatide Totem (rare).

I can envision a deck made for Manatide. Tons of direct damage, undervalued creatures, and taunt. Whatever it takes to keep the Manatde Totems flowing. The Spice is life....

3 posts below this one is Angel talking about a guy named Noxious on Youtube who immediately performs a flawless victory with two Manatide Totems in Constructed. That having been said, and with full recognition of who he is, I still say Acolyte is better than Manatide.

This warlock deck? (edit: the "slow" warlock deck)
EU Legend #1 Kolento Part I
The base website is a good one to keep your eye on. You get an idea of what the top players are playing and, by association, what everyone else is playing after they copy the deck.

I really like Noxious and I think he might be what you're looking for. He doesn't stream very often but he's got a huge library of youtube videos with guides and advice. In particular his Randuin series is pure awesome (Priest deck with every single card that has a "random" effect on it). One vidoe had him thoughtstealing a Pyroblast and Fireball and use them to win the game.
Reynaud some number after his name is decent. He looks like Edward Cullen but he's decent and explains what he's doing pretty well. I think he said he was going to be out of town for a week though Reckful hasn't been streaming as much but he's, definitely, one of the better players. Veev is decent but he plays very fast and makes some obvious mistakes.
And, yeah, I agree about not

I had to Google to make sure you just referenced that someone looks like a fictional twilight character. Are you a 17 year old girl?
