6 slot is mediocre?

Emporer Thaurissan and Sylvannus have something to say to you. Lets not talk about Highmane,Cabal Shadowpriest and sunwalker.

6 slot is packed even if you include just those two cards.
Control warrior can get away with not running Thaurissan. So can Handlock, although they probably wouldn't run Justicar anyway since they often want to lose health with lifetaps.

Anyway, Justicar is definitely permanent, or it wouldn't be a Battlecry.

What? You mentioned a bunch of class cards and taunt no one plays to say 6 slot is packed. Nevermind that even Sylvanas isn't that common.

Sylvanas isn't that common.
Wat? Looking at the decklists on Liquidhearth Power Rankings, she's in Handlock, 2 control warrior lists, 2 midrange druid lists, midrange paladin, 2/3 control priest lists, ramp druid, echo mage, and 1/3 midrange shaman lists.

The only place she's underrepresented is at the very top of the rankings, and that's largely because Grim Patron is distorting the meta. Not counting the janky shaman lists, the only midrange deck on the list that doesn't run her is midrange hunter, who runs Highmane instead.

I hate it when you are on the beat down and a shaman manages to get that fucking taunt totem three times in a row. Not as bad as that random spell power into thunderstorm shenanigans

Maybe. I was about to say that's too powerful, but given how mediocre shaman has been for the entire history of hearthcards, maybe it wouldn't be too powerful.
They would have to change the paladin hero power since shamans would have the option to have the same thing only better.

espcially now that it looks like shamans are getting more totem tribal synergy than paladins ever got with quartermaster

I feel like despite all the shaman shit we're already seeing get spoiled, shaman are still going to suck post Tourney.

Some guy added me to pour the salt on because I blade flurried his double mana wyrm, coin, unstable portal opening and then killed him 3 turns later with a second blade flurry. I keep a blade flurry against mage for such shenanigans and he complained I top decked two blade flurries, feels good.
They posted some survey on this recently and like 85% of friend requests are people that either want to talk smack, or bitch.

If you played this game long enough you already know this.

When Beta was rolling I would screenshot all the crying in a collection, and post them on the Hearthstone board to let people laugh at the silly comments.

Cool but unplayable. The problem with inspire in general is that you don't get enough immediate impact out of it, and it really takes time for it to be worth it. 6/3 stats for 6 mana just isn't playable in my opinion.

I was so confused when people were talking about this card being shitty. It never occurred to me that it would only be active while he was alive. That card looks bonkers to me. As long as a control Paladin isn't worried about Patron or Unleash, phew, hard to beat.

It's a permanent change. The issue is that a it's a 3 health 6 drop, when 6 drops are already an incredibly competitive slot for most decks. So not only do you have to compete with neutral 6 drops like Sylvanas and Thaurissan and class cards like Cabal Shadowpriest or Shieldmaiden, you also have to deal with the fact that a 2 drop can easily trade up into your 6 drop, and your 6 drop is easily removed by all the 2 for 3 damage spells like darkbomb and frostbolt. Just making it a 6/4 or even a 3/6 would have made a big difference, because 4 health is helluva lot harder to take care of than 3.

Combine that with the fact that the enhanced hero powers aren't really strong enough to compensate for such a weak bodies 6 drop unless the game really drags on, and yeah it's not the best card.

Oh I know what I'm getting into when I accept a friend request. I miss most of them, this one caught my attention because he sent the friend request before the victory animation could even pop up. I've only ever accepted maybe around 10 and 9/10 were salty mother fuckers. One actually gave me a gg, good deck.

God I am enjoying smashing Priests as Shaman. I love these Brawl weeks where 90% of the population thinks 1 class is the best when it is easily countered by another or another class that is actually the best. Like the first 3 days or so of the minion on spell Brawl. Good stuff. I've lost to 1 Priest who double MC'd me in the first 3 turns, out of maybe 20ish Priests. And I only lost that game because I got greedy.

I did have a funny game earlier where I had 2 Chromaggus out playing against a Mill Rogue.

Edit: Okay, what the fuck? So earlier today, I had a silenced Kelthuzad that was played first resurrect himself after my Rag shot him at the end of my turn. Yet just now, I had a Kelthuzad that I played 2 turns before my opponent played a Rag, and his rag shot my KT and KT didn't resurrect himself? That's about as backwards as possible. /baffled

I did Alex>Lightning bolt, turn two windfury Alex>game over earlier. Not going to happen often but funny. He threw a rag out on his turn but it hit my face.

Playing ErA's echo mage on ladder against a hunter, he has me at 1 with an explosive trap, my rag is silenced, he popped both iceblocks. He concedes. I guess the previous turn when I played Sylvanas and Fireballed his face he thought I had guaranteed lethal? I was just setting up lethal in case I lucked into a healbot, which I didn't. He conceded a won game.

And that's the real reason you call them huntards.

Order of play. If Rag is played first KT rezes. It's pretty dumb tbh.

heh, this game. Playing echo mage against a druid, at 9 health with iceblock up. After flamestriking away his board, he has a 1/1 taunt from belcher deathrattle. He starts spamming the BM emotes, I'm sorry + well played. 6 or so emotes later, he swipes my face twice and hits with the 1/1 to pop my block. Few more emotes.

Me: I'm sorry. (once)

Alex self to 15

no more emotes from druid

Justicar might be viable in Druid with ramp/innervate etc. Dire Shapeshift is the best ability of the lot. +2 attack and +2 armor every turn is bonkers. It's just a shame it was crammed in the 6 slot. And for Warrior, replacing your hero power permanently with +4 armor is pretty crazy for control. That's a lot of armor to deal with.
