Hearthstone

I was watching dog play a combo druid last night (Aviana, Kun, Bran, Arakkoa whatever Cthun buff taunt guy, Cthun, ramp, draw) and he managed to get all the way to rank 12 legend before variance ate his lunch but Dirty Rat was the only way Reno Mage and Reno Warlock had any chance at all. As a means of disrupting combo decks Dirty Rat seems pretty good but trying to get value of it against other decks looks rough.

Card is pretty interesting.

So I've made Aya already, and I drew Kun in a pack. I have no interest in Kazakus for a Reno deck.

What should I make next? I feel like a generic classic legend like Ragnaros is what I should snag. Is White Eyes that important for Jade Shaman? Is Patches the end all be all for cards to make?

Get Rag before one of the expansion rares. He is a classic and slots into many decks.

Yeah, rag was really coming on at the end of last expansion and he's been doing work for me in this expansion. Really good card for coming back with control or keeping the pressure on with aggro.

I love this tavern brawl.

You don't see too much sylvanas these days, she's kinda too slow for this meta.

Yeah, Sylvanas is mainly played in Renolock now - Reno mage and Reno priest at times.

So 3 of the top 5 decks in this meta use her. Nothing crushes pirate warrior, aggro shaman, and totem shaman like the Reno decks.

Yeah, this.

IMO only Renolock uses Sylvanas, and not all of them. I like the Sylvanas+Shadowflame combo, or Sylvanas+PO if in a pinch.
She's very slow and not typical in Reno Priest/Mage

I've never seen her in reno mage/priest and doing so would only help those decks in the control matchup and hurt against the aggro matchups.

She is in some of the more value oriented Reno mage lists, but the burn heavy ones with Antonidas are much more popular right now (and most likely better). Similarly she shows up in some of the non-dragon Reno priests, but again those are the less popular ones.

Sylvanas is obviously a really strong card and may become more popular once the next expansion hits if Blizzard thinks the pirate armies are a little too fast now and if they then manage to slow them down somewhat. Those are two gigantic ifs of course.

This is enforcing what I just said or ???

Did look a bit weird with the multiple quote, yeah, just reinforcing what you were saying.
