Man Unstable Ghoul makes your opponent make really awkward decisions. I just forced a Hunter to Kill Command an Unstable Ghoul with 1 life left, which would later win me the game (him not having a Kill Command when he needed it).

Jesus Christ all the control Paladins are sooooo boring. I'd rather play against nonstop zoo and UTH than 30 minute control Paladin games.

I think Duplicate would be great in aggro mage, they really need that minion draw since that deck can lose steam very easily. A variant of it runs Antonidas, so Antonidas/Duplicate sounds interesting on paper, but might be too slow.

I can't come up with a decent Mage deck, been a while since I've played Mage and I'm a little confused by the various play styles. I go to make a deck and it's all over. Any advice? I don't want to play a total freeze mage. Duplicate Leper Gnome has been pretty decent!

I think there are really only two viable mage deck concepts. The first is freeze mage which you mentioned not wanting to play. With that being said, Noxxious was running an interesting variant that used duplicate and lots of giants. Idea was to lock down your opponent and then smash them with an endless horde of giants. Not sure how consistent it is but it is a fun deck.

The other deck type is a complete 180 and is retard / aggro mage that just tries to burn the opponent down fast. I'm not a big fan of this one because other classes can do aggro better.

Mage just screams mid-range deck but mid-range mage still hasn't recovered from the freeze and pyro nerds. But it really seems that blizzard wanted mage to be a mid-range / control class with the design.

I've toyed around with the idea of a watcher/taunt mage and it works surprisingly well in the current meta, since it pretty much counters the popular decks like zoo, miracle and ramp (haven't tried it yet against handlock). It's slow midrange/controllish and can be cancerous to play against, i got a healadin to lose from fatigue lol. Anyway i'd like to try it in the ladder more, so far it has been great doing very well against the top decks as i said.

My list is this, how about you give me some change suggestions:

1x Mana Wyrm
1x Abusive Sergeant
2x Frostbolt
2x Ancient Watcher
2x Ironbeak Owl
2x Harvest Golem
2x Earthring Farseer
2x Chillwind Yeti
2x Seljin Shieldmaster
1x Spellbreaker
1x Defender of Argus
2x Fireball
2x Polymorph
2x Azure Drake
1x Faceless Manipulator
2x Sunwalker
1x The Black Knight
2x Flamestrike

As you can see, there is a lot of taunt and silence in this deck.

there any tools to post out what you have for cards? I was hoping something like the wow armory for hearthstone...

Why the fuck do my games keep saving and forcing me to restart the client after a game? I'm really getting sick of it, it happens constantly and I don't know what the fuck I am accidentally hitting to make it happen but it's really annoying, because it clears your add list as well.

He means something you could plug your collection into, or something that could automatically read your account and display what cards you have, maybe combined with a deckbuilding tool. Presumably so other people could see exactly what cards you have and help you build a deck.

I just had a miracle rogue say well played to me after he buffed an auctioneer with double cold blood to 12/4. I played a sunwalker and owled the auctioneer and he conceded. Much lulz.

I've learned never to be so confident that I have the win. There's always some ridiculous way people can turn it around on you.

Oh also I take back my post above, zoo really is this games equivalent of ass cancer, slowly killing it.

@Dudebro

I'm normally not very cocky in game but there's been a couple of times where I'm playing Ramp Druid and I drop an Ancient of War on my turn. Next turn my opponent runs 3 minions into my AoW and burns 2 cards in hand to finish it off leaving him with nothing on the board and a pretty empty hand. So on my turn I drop the second Ancient of War. It's a dick move but in those situations I always do the "Sorry" emote.

I'm currently in a bugged match where a guy went to attack with a minion and it just got stuck. Now we are just sitting here trading emotes and there's no timer or anything, great. Am I gonna take a loss if i relog?

I remember bitching about it prior, but yet another Hearthstone tournament that fucks up double elimination. I don't think any of these people even know how it works.

While you aren't wrong, I'm pretty sure both Tides and Alchemixt are going to WEC.

This game just lacks a certain social aspect. Maybe it's OK if you and 5 friends get together with iPads or whatever gay shit at Starbucks. Adding WoW guilds + this game would make it infinitely more interesting just for the chats alone. I'd rather idle in Clash of Clans even just to catch replays and shoot the shit in game vs. play Hearthstone.

That plus add 2HG/Emperor and a ton more PvE and I wouldn't mind the shallow card pool at all. I suppose part of the issue is now that I'm playing Naxx + class challenges, it's genuinely fun and makes me want a full game out of this instead of whatever half-ass socially-neutered cash-cow Blizzard designed it to be so they wouldn't have to 'maintain' it.

Well I've been messing around with control warrior last couple days. It's a strong deck, but I really don't like playing like that. Some of the matchups are clearly out lasting into fatigue.

Rather just play priest if it's going to be a long game.

I do love midrange hunter currently, it is very strong right now since miracle is disappearing.
