Just do what I do for quests like that when you can't complete them through normal gameplay. Toss a bunch of cheapass minions of the correct type in a warlock deck, queue up in casual, dump your hand for 5-6 turns and concede. I did it with demons yesterday.

Who should we pick for this tournament? Anyone follow this stuff? Who are Federer and Nadal?

I went with amnesiac. I like his class lineup, i like his tech choices, and his group seems easier than thijs'. Ultimately though, its hearthstone, whoever draws the better cards will win since they're all nearly equal skill-wise.

Someone explain this line of thinking to me, because I don't get it.

There are more good 'mech' cards that you might play anyway? Its still broken as shit, but i can at least see how someone bad at balancing thought it was fine.

If i were to remake it, id make it a 1/3 that gets +1 permanently f you have a spellpower minion when its played.

Famm · Oct 22, 2016

Yeah, battlecry might make more sense either way.

Gavinmad · Oct 22, 2016

I picked Thijs because he was the only one whose twitch channel I follow.

All these new quests suck, and they make it too hard to get 60g+ quests. I think I'm going to start sitting on them and rerolling for higher when possible, just like 40g quests.

Mid-range Shaman should not be able to beat Control Warrior in Fatigue, yet I'm pretty sure the list I posted a while back has like 80%+ win rate in the match up as long as you don't overextend.

These new quests can eat a dick. The end.

Enzee · Oct 23, 2016

why wouldn't it? They have tons of win condition level threats, so if you just space them out it so you don't get wrecked by brawl, seems like a winnable matchup. Vicious syndicate has it as a 49% winrate for shaman, so pretty close to a coin flip.

I like the new quests, fuck you all, all you no-fun-min-maxing-geezer-gamers

I think it's way more lopsided in favor of Shaman, at least in my experience. Maybe it's just the specifics of my deck, but it's almost unlosable. At least vs the Elise version of CW. I think it could be 2 factors, 1 is that I run Argent Squires instead Tunnel Trog so it's harder for Warrior to deal with, 2 is that I have Justicar in my deck which is gross against Control Warrior. Being able to stack taunt or spell power totems is so annoying for them.

I'm sure if you play the match up right it can swing quite a bit, too. A lot of shaman players probably over-commit to the board, thinking 'lol he isnt doing anything, im gonna crush him' then get brawl'd.

Might be same for good control warrior players too, though. You probably play the match up well, which is changing the win rate quite a bit.

Play beast druid... turns out most of the beasts I'm playing aren't beasts. They turn into beasts and don't count to the quest. Thanks blizzard.

Haven't played HS since August after a 1.5 yr addiction. Still check this thread out of habit but don't miss the game at all (don't yell at me Gav).

Same. But I love ccg/tcg. I find Legeds to be quite good.

If I've given up telling the people jabbering about other e-ccgs to stfu and make their own thread, I'm not gonna yell at you for simply saying you don't play anymore.

Yeah, had a deathrattle minion and shaman quest so I got to update and break out my n'zoth shaman again, was good times. Hopefully the quests encourage different deck lists.

Midrange Shaman doesn't play FWF anymore which is the main reason it changed from a favorable matchup to a coin flip.
