Yeah counterspell was terrible the first month or two of GvG because spare parts were everywhere, but now that they are less prevalent counterspell is pretty good tech.

When I first played pesty's mage deck I questioned the addition of the counterspell but now that I've played it a bunch it definitely has won me lots of games at crucial moments.

Another thing I like about pesty's tempo Mage is that the deck shits all over Priest. I have zero problems beating priests with the deck.

i mean that aggro warrior will never be a thing. Someone might come up with a use for the egg but i doubt it.

The egg does seem a little weak to me as well, but I find it funny there's so much speculation with new cards... I know it's fun to speculate, so I'm not faulting anyone, but I just find in humorous given how extremely off base everyone's been with both Naxx and GvG. I don't recall anyone getting excited about Zombie Chow and that's probably one of the most played Naxx cards. Likewise I remember everyone thinking Dr. Boom was one of the weaker legos and he's in almost every deck.

What happens if you imp-plosion an egg for 4 damage, get 8 guys out of it? Those cards look bad on their own but they look like they have combo potential for some crazy future deck.

I'm sure it works like Acolyte of Pain or Armorsmith and only gives you one token per time it is dealt damage rather than tokens equal to the damage.

Lots of people were pretty much dead on with 90% of the good cards. Certainly many people instantly knew Zombie Chow was going to be good. Dr. Boom was one of the exceptions that not many people thought was going to be great, but it was an exception.

Everyone was huge on Zombie Chow.

Meh, was having too much fun on ladder so dropped 20 euros or so and opened a gold alex (already had normal) and black knight (which i really wanted), so decided to just make antonidas. If its terrible on ladder so be it

This game adds up, checked how much ive spent in total and its a lot. Not much when you consider the price of normal hobbies (or drinking/dinner/cinema), but its definitely the most ive sunk into any game for a long time, by a large margin.

Yeah but for the wrong reasons. Reynad was heralding it as the thing that would push Zoo over the top, but it actually ended up being a very solid anti-aggro tool for control and mid-range decks.

I think the only real surprise was Sludge Belcher. I personally didn't really feel a Senjin + Goldshire Footman was worth the 1 casting cost over a Senjin, and I don't recall any streamers really talking about it, but now it's a staple in basically every deck that isn't pure aggro.

The new egg is too combo oriented to be good. The hatchlings only have 1 health which make them weak to someone who sneezes in their general direction. It's a 1 drop so it has that going for it. But overall it's not looking good on the surface.
