You're right. Keeper, like all druid choice cards, don't have battlecries. They effectively have spells. So you:

1) Played keeper
2) Chose the 2 damage spell card instead of the silence spell card
3) Killed the scientist and triggered his death rattle
4) THEN Keeper gets played and mirrored because it was played after the secret was played.
Except the logic breaks down when you use it to kill an explosive sheep. In that case the death rattle is triggered...and damages your minion that we agreed on before hadn't yet been "played"....

So last week we had a good discussion Patron Warrior and how the best way to nerf it would be.

Seeing as how this season, literally, half of my opponents have been Patron Warrior (I've been keeping track), I'm trying to figure out the best class/deck that counters them without being weak to every other deck out there. I'm kind of at a loss. I'm thinking maybe ramp druid since they have lots of big minions (especially with Taunt). But Overall I'm not really sure what the best way to counter them is. They're just such a strong deck. And as has been said, it can be played very poorly and still see really good results.

Oil Rogue and Handlock both match up extremely well against Patron. Handlock is by far the worst matchup for Patron.

Yes, though you do not. I'll re-quote you in case you still fail to see the issue.

Handlock is by far the worst matchup for Patron.
These are two separate statements as indicated by the periods. One of those statements does not necessarily build on the other unless you use a function to refer to the previous. This brings clarity to writing.

I've posted it before butHearthstone Advanced Rulebookis the most complete description of all the chicanery that goes on with battlecry/deathrattle resolution as well as a bunch of other technical junk. It's funny that in trying to build an intuitive system the underlying mechanics are way more complicated than Magic's resolution mechanics because the system processes it all instead of the players.

So what you're saying

Is that I should

Write my posts

In a bunch of separate

Lines like you

Retards even though

It fits just fine into

A single line?

Because what I wrote

Was still clear

And easy to understand

So get fucked

You braindead assclown

Makes sense to me, Handlock and Oil Rogue match up extremely well versus Patron; however of those matchups, Handlock is the worst.

Tananthalas is just being a stupid faggot. My statement may not have been perfect English, but what I meant was crystal clear to anyone who isn't a complete retard.

I understand that is what he meant to say. It looked like he transposed one of the "handlock" to mean something else as well which is how I took its meaning since the context of the quote didn't imply directly what he meant. Instead of simply clarifying his meaning he attempted to be cute and imply I don't have a basic understanding of grammar (which is ironic in this case). Then decided he wanted to be a cocksucker about it.

EDIT: I also showed the post to two other people whose exact words were "what the fuck". So it's not like I'm in some weird fucking limbo where those two sentences don't directly contradict each other.

Handlock is by far the worst matchup for Patron.

Handlock is a terrible matchup for Patron.

Handlock is heavily favored against Patron.

Handlock wins most of its matches against Patron.
Notice how all of those sentences mean the exact same fucking thing? If you found two other people who didn't understand it, it just proves that you hang out with people who are just as much of fucking idiots as you are.

I don't see anything that is contradictory unless you for some reason misinterpreted his second sentence to mean handlock does poorly vs patron, but that would be a fault of yours.

for American English definition and synonyms | Macmillan Dictionary

I am paraphrasing as the full definition is too lengthy.

For can be used in the following ways:

1) intended to help or benefit someone/something

a. used for saying who or what is intended to receive something or get the benefit of it
This is how I understood the sentence which is the issue. I was under the impression that Patron benefited from playing against Handlock which is the opposite of what was intended. Which makes the second sentence a direct contradiction of the first.

Having said that the following also applies.

8) relating to or concerning someone or something
Which is how Gavinmad meant it to be taken. It is my opinion his statement is written poorly. It's also more than likely a difference in how the word is used in our region.

TL;DR: Both are correct, but since this is the Internet I am more correct.

Edited for clarity.

What is this I don't even. Why the hell did you post a definition of the word for?
