Here's a really good video of Trump explaining a Rogue draft. I like how at the end he talks about the break points in the deck. I need start thinking about my drafts like that.

Don't get how he can even think mad bomber is great.

it's a 3/2 that has a decent chance of killing your opponents 1 drops and some 2 drops, and/or dealing your opponent damage to boot. It also works really well with raging worgen, amani beserker, and acolyte of pain. What's not to like?

When you are in Play mode, do you ever concede if you get a shitty hand at game start? I know I'm guilty, just wondering if I'm the only one who is a little bitch.

"I threw out a 5, 6 & 7 drop and got back a 6, 7 & 7? Fuck this game!!"

My only rage quit so far went like this...

Turn 1: Redemption
Turn 2: Summon Silver Hand Knight (fuck, meant to play my Fairy Dragon)
Turn 3: Fairy Dragon, attack his minion with SHK, it dies and gets revived

Rage quit

Mad bomber is good to great consistently. As long as you understand probabilities the few times it crushes you are far outweighed by the times it just eviscerates your opponent. Plus I've probably had more people ragequit to that card than any other when you get really lucky.

Was that you I played just now accordion? I was the warlock spamming i greet you.

And I probably would in unranked haast. I did recently turn a game around though were I didn't get a 2 drop and my only 3 drop was a ssc, my warrior opponent had a 2 drop and killed my ssc with a fiery war axe, figured now way I was turning it around, but I did.

And mad bomber is pretty awesome because if you play it after your opponents first drop you have a chance to remove their drop while you have your own 3/2 on the board. Also it can kill blood imps and fairie dragons.

Just made the warlock deck also, its a very aggro deck and I somehow didn't get a 1 or 2 drop. Its 4-0 so far.
Serum#1204 if anyone wants to add me.

TheGentleman#1373 if anyone wants to play-test decks or what not. Also the next Managrind, which is now associated with MLG, starts tomorrow.

Plan on playing, already more than 128 people signed up though so not sure how that works. Surprised how many small tournaments are already up and going for Hearthstone. Wish I had an EU account, there are tons of people running tournaments for like a $10 prize, almost one every day.

This game needs a social aspect badly. You should be able to spectate games or something. It's quick and easy but it feels...meh because of it.

Goddamn is arena amusing sometimes. Just went 9-0 with my druid deck I drafted last night. 3 swipes, 2 starfires, 2 wraths, 2 ssclerics, two keepers of the grove, 2 azure drakes and a shitload of efficient 2 and 3 creatures. Felt like a constructed deck that I accidentally queued for arena.

I think im due for some serious kharma my next draft. I've went 9-0 before, but never where not a single game was close.

I'm done playing constructed until the priest changes come through. I don't like aggro so it's play Priest or get fucked late game over and over. I have a druid ramp deck that I've tuned and love but watching priest decks pull out wins with MC over and over is getting old. May try one of those shaman mid-range type decks that can burst down a priest before it gets super late.

Decided I'm always going to keep gold cards. Working on my decks for tomorrow. I guess you have to keep the same hero the whole time each set, but you can switch as many cards as you want between games (which is weird). So Basically I should make three different decks per hero I want to play+think of a sideboard. I think I prefer the 3 decks per set rule they used at the invitation, which is I guess Teamliquid's set rule? Someone called it that.

You guys ever run into people in Arena, or Play Mode that have lethal, and don't do it? Just ran into a mage, as Warlock. Towards the end of the game, I drop Alexstrasza, as a last ditch, but he has 15 damage on the board, and I don't get any taunts.

Dude, hits me with 1 minion, and then goes to take out Alexstrasza?

I conceded to not give him the satisfaction of getting the killing blow, but it was right as I was doing it I realized he wasn't going for the kill. Wtf?

Sometimes people will do stuff like that to complete their quests they might have.

It is also very easy to get sucked into the mindset of always trying to maintain board control and not realizing that your spells that kill creatures can also finish someone off.
