Hearthstone

They lack removal so they need, beefy, minions to kill off opponents minions. Spectral Knights can be ramped into early and are hard for the opponent to deal with. So the druid can use them to kill off other things without too much worry that the opponent will kill them first.

Oh, and a tournament deck had them included so everyone followed suit.

Troggzor dream. I guess the other guy had to dig for cards using his wild growths or he was just fucking around once he realized he had no outs.

ha, yea... I had a game yesterday where I cleared a full 7 minion board, next turn he implosion+leper for another 5 on board. Still won the game, somehow, but ffs.

I mean it's possible that it won't be such a big deal when Undertaker gets nerfed, but right now Zoo has an incredibly strong early game with Undertaker and a super strong transition into midgame/wipe recovery with Imp-losion into Sea Giant. Some variation of Xixo Zoo is objectively the strongest deck in Hearthstone, and it will stay that way until Undertaker or Imp-losion are nerfed.

Why do druids carry so many minions that cannot be targeted by spells? And by many I mean two or three. I don't usually see other classes with them.

Double combo druid runs Spectral Knight because it's a sticky 5 drop that has a decent chance of still being on the board on your combo turn. It's basically a tossup between Knight and Belcher when you're building the deck.


I've been getting respectable results out of a single Siege Engine in my control warrior atm. Since I don't have Harrison or Geddon, I've just stuffed the flex slots with more mid-game creatures instead to make the deck a bit more aggressive. Thinking about crafting a second one and swapping it in place of Sky Golem, which I've been testing in place of Cairne. Might also be worthwhile to cut something for a whirlwind or unstable ghoul to improve the zoo and paladin matchups.

New deck that Amaz is running (and that I have been playing).... soooo much fun. Its Deja Vu.

Strife Magic (first one). Awesome.

all that rattle and no undertaker?

Man I'm loving this druid controlish build I threw together haphazardly - I'm sure it's got room to improve, but Gazlowe + Parts Generation + Recombulator/fatties is just hilariously fun and reasonably effective in the R12 tier that I'm at right now (ranking up slowly but consistently R20 when I started toying with it on Monday)

Had been so bored of constructed this finally turned me back around on doing constructed.

Gotta play it to understand. Its all about endlessly repeating minions.

Why are we still capped at 9 decks??? Really Blizzard?

Nod, would really like multiple (say 3) slots for each class to compare how different tweaks work without having to go through all the current legwork.

Yep.

Really been digging playing priest lately. Opinions: Deathrattle and Undertakers or Pyros and Blademasters? I find less room for a Shadow Madness with the latter.

Silence and a Holy Smite or two, or neither?

Dr. Boom and Vol'jin are a given but I'm torn on Rag vs. Sylvanas too.

Sylvanas is good, Rag really doesn't belong in priest anymore.

Played around with a spellpower Imp-losion deck today. It did surprisingly well.

Holy shit I am loving this season. It feels like everyone is playing Anti Hunter/Zoo and I am just exploiting the fuck out of that, and doing it with fun creative decks to boot.

Also, just started messing around with my own version of Echo Giants and am having so much fun. I am running 2 Healbots as well and a few games ago I healed for over 60, could've healed even more, but was full life. It's so hilarious when you bait your opponent into attacking your face, only to start a chain heal process in the next few turns that is just ridiculous. I'm also running x2 Recombobulators because they are just so damn fun.

lol... I used coghammer on a dude and enemy warlock guy uses Implosion on it. The divine shield made it do 0 dmg so no imps summoned lmao.

Some people are just so stupid. I mean unless that was his only play and he needed to remove the DS. But if you go to the official HS forums there are a bunch of threads about how Imp-Plosion is bugged because someone will have a 2 health minion out and their Warlock Opponent will cast Imp-Plosion on it and it will do 3 damage and they'll get 3 imps and not understand, rofl.

Sneed's Old Shredder worth crafting? I haven't been paying much attention to constructed and have only just started playing it. My first craft after I did Neptulon was Dr. Boom. Now I'm debating my next one and it's between Gazlowe and Sneed's. I play all the classes so I feel like Sneed's will be better because it fits in more decks, but I'm not sure if there's something else I should craft first. I've got Vol'jin, Malorne, Neptulon, Flame Leviathan, Dr. Boom and Blingtron 3000. So people were playing Toshley the first few days and saying he was rather good, but it doesn't seem like he's played much now? I wonder if after Dr. Boom gets nerfed if Toshley will be the next choice. He might even rotate in if people start playing more BGH, which they seem to be doing?

Has anyone made an effective use of Mimiron's Head yet? I thought a streamer might have done it, seems like something Amaz would do. I won't be crafting it, was just curious. So basically it's:

Sneed's Old Shredder
Gazlowe
Toshley
Troggzor
Trade Prince Gallywix.

Those are the only legendaries I see that are any decent or that I'd get any play out of, and Troggzor is pushing it as is Gallywix, although I've heard the latter has been put to good use.
