I know I said this before ,but Gang Boss is ridiculous. Holy fuck I'm loving that on warlock, so much synergy.

I can't believe that the cards in this Adventure, or better then the Xpac ones...

Well I guess I can Believe it because Naxx was better then GVG as well. What a shit Xpac

You running it in zoo? I found it kinda meh unless I could argus it, in which case I usually had board enough that I was winning anyway. Mind sharing your list? Also not sure where the synergies are, other than Knife Juggler, which is fairly rare to make work.

Damn pack quest is screwing up my gold farm for the rest of BRM. Meh. Imp Gang shoulda been a 3/4 for 3 for being a class minion. The effect isn't that damn good. How are people using it? Demonfire and shit? Can't see getting much benefit from it at a 2/4.

I played like ten games running it yesterday and I think I got a second imp out of it only once.

Ooo baby, dat feeling when you drop ysera on an empty board and your paladin opponent already played both equalities.

Warrior is fucking awesome right now. Grim Patron, Emp Thaurassin, & Axe Flinger decks are the shit.

Yeah I guess I was wrong when I said Worgen OTK was better than Grim Patron, but I'm still not convinced Grim Patron is better than standard control warrior as a ladder deck.

Well, it probably is not better than standard control warrior. The difference is that only 5% of Hearthstone players have the cards to run standard control warrior, and 75%+ can run an effective Grim Patron deck if they want to.

The deck is still very vulnerable to getting rushed and board clear can crush it. I think we will start to see an abundance of decks running Hellfire, Flamestrike, Equality/Consecration, Totem/Lightning Storm, Poison Seeds, Blade Flurry. All the minions (Armor Smith, Frothing Berserker, Grim Patron, Task Master, Acolyte) are all very susceptible to board clear.

But, it is fun to be able to actually win some games as warrior without Grommash.

Game makes no sense at all, 10 game losing streak around rank 12 last night and now 10 game winning streak today, same deck obv. Including epicly destroying a $300 warrior who threw the sink at me.

Who's running a good Patron deck? I've tweaked my Warrior deck so many times at this point its just a shitty mish mash of OTK and Patrons.

If anyone else was wondering about using that Imp Gang Bang card, I found this build and it seems to work about as well as you can expect zoo to work in this meta.

VictorCDs Season 13 Imp Gang Boss Warlock Zoo - Hearthstone Top Decks

Rank 1 Legend NA Zoo : CompetitiveHS

I usually dislike running double Argus in zoo because of the dead card potential and Dark Iron is strong, but like I mentioned earlier the Arguses seem like the best way to get value from Imp Gang Bangers. I know a lot of serious zoo players swear by having the extra taunts too so I've probably just been doing it wrong.

Yeah the grim patron + warsong commander combo is just silly. And having a mage top-deck a grim patron in arena is more demoralizing than a mage top-decking a Ysera. Oh hai2u, infinite 3/3's for 2 mana...

Gang Boss is much like Grim patron ( of course not nearly as good) It's not only a good minion to put out there but it covers your other minions.

When people sweep they always want complete coverage. If they sweep and still leave minions on the board then it's a loss. Thats why anything with a battle cry that spawns another minion on the playing field is such good value.

Especially with a deck like zoo, or demon-lock who constantly have board control.

Only I've faced today is warriors all running some variant of that shit.

Good thing been fucking around with priest all day today, makes facing it easy.

I've usually won against that deck but when they manage to get those patrons/warsongs/sludge belchers going right its obnoxious.

I just ran into a bug/exploit, and I'm trying to reproduce it right now.

This was the series of events.

1) put owl on the board then took it back
2) played Argus, it then shielded then the Argus card popped back in my hand as of screen shot 1 below
3) I then moved the Argus around with the mouse cursor, and the card stayed ( not sure if step 3 makes a difference yet)
