Can't open them for shit in hearthstone
I haven't seen a rogue outside of arena at all this month past rank 10. I can't imagine oil rogues or mech rogues doing well in this meta at all.

Oil rogue matches up well against 2 of the other Tier 1 decks, poorly against handlock, and well against most of the tier 2 decks. There's a reason Oil Rogue catapulted from middle of the pack tier 2 to the #3 spot in Tier 1 behind Patron and Hybrid hunter.
You have a weak imagination.

Tempostorm's snapshot isn't the be-all end-all, the meta changes pretty steadily by the day at times. Oil has started to struggle more against the field and so there's less of them. Oil dropped three spots to eighth on LiquidHearth's power rankings this week, which is based on polling pro players. It still has a solid chance to beat anything, but its suffering in popularity for reasons beyond the skill level required to play it. Really, ranking it as third right now is a bit absurd IMO.
The issue with Oil is that it is not a long term deck. It's going to suffer to handlock. Additionally Patron Warrior is generally a 6 mana to 9 mana play depending on when Thaurissan came out (if it did) and what you have on the mat already. You sure as shit won't have the Warsong out those are killed before Thaurissan even. So Oil has to be saved for Blade Flurry or a poison and Blade Flurry whichever. Because you're saving those for the Warrior combo that is a lot less damage you have to play with against Shieldmaidens, Frothings, hell even Acolyte of Pain since normally a quick Poison/weapon can remove it with only a one card gain for the Warrior. I just don't see the Oil Rogue matchup against Patron Warrior/Control Warrior as being a solid. In any event Oil isn't 3rd, that is just bullshit. I am at rank 8 currently with around 300 games played this season. Since rank 10 (and that is being generous I think) I haven't seen any rogues. Face Hunter, Control Warrior, Patron Warrior, and variations of Mage is all I see. Occasionally I'll see a Paladin or Mech Shaman. Very rare though. My experiences are not the end all be all by any means but if Oil were really that strong in this meta you can bet your ass I'd see it occasionally. My sample size is fairly decent.

How often does this happen? More and more adventure packs might start to look daunting to new players as a quantifiable barrier of entry. Random packs is random, so you can't put a finite dollar amount on how much it would cost you get a good amount of cards from vanilla and GvG. I wonder if they'll start discounting the older adventure packs.

He should probably qualify for a Darwin award. Why the fuck would he combo out when you have a Patron down too? Numpty.

It's possible he played the patron then queued up the attack and whirlwind without waiting to see what the secret was. I mean if he'd just hit the mirrored patron instead of your face (i assume he went face with the death's bite) he would have been fine.
I think that's the real reason so many people in this thread have such a low opinion of Patron warrior, it's because ya'll keep running into people who have no business piloting any kind of a combo deck.

I've been doing badly in Arena lately (for me at least) dropped from an average of over 7.8 to 7.5 in like 10 days. I've actually been slowly losing gold for once, eek! So I've been playing some constructed. Dragon Paladin is still one of my favorite new decks, so fun:

I just had my worst start ever. I get a bad hand, so mulligan all 3 cards...I get a worse hand with no cards below 4 mana cost.
My first 3 draw are also cards with mana cost of 4+. I didn't get to play a card until the 4th round.
That was against Zoo Warlock...so as you can guess, it was pretty much over by then.
I don't think I ever drew this badly since I started playing.

Just had one of the most insane/intense games in many months. This Priest mind controlled my Fel Reaver after making me discard 12ish. Then I drew a Gnomish Inventor into Poly and then this all happened:
Edit: New run as a Warlock. Priest casts Mind Vision and Thoughtsteal and gets: Voidcaller + Dread Infernal + Demonfire. FML.

Have enough dust to craft a Legendary. What would be the best one to craft right now? I have Dr Boom already. I feel like it's between Rag or Sylvannas.
