Ok I was following until Rachel Ray. Can someone explain that part of the situation?

I'm not entirely sure what line this bot could see to win the game from here.

It made up for it by Nobleman literally never copying anything else if Deathwing was in my hand, just for the copy to always be discarded. It hit a 1/7 one of those times.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/3/8/AANxMBAAEBW6.jpg

Really didn't feel like this was gonna be a very good deck at all, but this shows what I know.

(Not pictured here: Deathwing the Destroyer, which singlehandedly won 6 or 7 of my games)

My win-streak was finally snuffed out at 15. Thought that the nerf to Renathal would lead to more people running aggro, so I stuck with my Blood Death Knight deck now that it has more good matchups, but I ran into a greedy as hell Shaman deck that I just couldn't deal with. RIP

Went to dust all the nerfed cards and realized I basically had none of them, somehow. Two Unleash Fels, two Sinstone Graveyards....... and two golden Relics of Dimensions. So that's two legendaries.

Keeping Renathal since I'm a control main.

I haven't, no. But I also haven't come across a Jace DH that isn't running the scythe that turns him into a spell, either.

I've been using mostly my Triple Blood Death Knight homebrew. For at least somewhat unusual cards, it has Lor'themar Theron, Sir Finley, Raid Boss Onyxia, and Enchanters. I got rid of all the usual 1-mana cards besides Heart Strike, so I could try and outvalue all the greedy other decks I was seeing.

Sir Finley is a huge help to draw into your early game-closers: Theron, Mograine, Patchwerk, Mutanus, and Astalor. If you're able to Theron on 7 and Finley on 8 for the buffed guys, that's another crazy tempo play that no one really expects.

I also have been trying some Plague Priest to some pretty good results, but that deck is really delicate. The decisions you have to make every time you pilot it are super anxiety-inducing. The idea is to draw and play Plaguespreader, let it die and infect your opponent's hand, and then keep reviving it with stuff like Bonecaller and Amulet of the Undying, and then activate a billion of them with Xyrella to make your opponent's hand worthless while you outvalue them with your hero power.

I had a game where late in the game, they had 7 cards in hand and I used Identity Theft, and literally only Plaguespreader came up as my option to take from their hand.

So this is currently happening....

Those are the exact two nerfs I wanted to see. Fantastic news.

I only did 50 pulls because the 4*s were all pretty good, so I could build up pity to the next 5* I want. I wanna build up Heizou eventually and he was C3, and Thoma was C0.

...... the game gave me 5 Heizous.

Yeah, my initial thought is that I wanna try a Control-y Double Blood Rune/Single Unholy Rune deck. Though if that's too slow, a tempo Single Blood Run/Double Unholy deck looks like it'd be fun, too. I'll be honest, I just wanna get my hands on Patchwerk ASAP.

Hope you weren't out and about and had it taped and waiting at home.....

"Sorry, the Arena is currently disabled."

You had to register for it before the 4th, but yeah.

I only learned of it because I happened to check the in-game news for the first time in like 2 months at just the right time.

Oh you guys are lazy? I just started exploring Sumeru yesterday and have a 6 hour stream to prove it. I don't recommend watching it, cuz I didn't bother talking or anything; just figured I'd go for the free 1600 primos for streaming 30 hours this month.

I did really enjoy the times where my initial class was Demon Hunter and my opponent tried to Burgle me or play Nefarius and not get any cards.

For posterity, I just hopped on and played one Arena game. Nexus-Champion Saraad won it for me because he survived for 6 turns. My winning move was mage pinging my own minion, using Rampage on it, and Mortal Striking my opponent's face. My lone 4/5 minion on turn 7 was just too much to overcome.

I almost exclusively play Arena. It's super fucked up right now though, because it's only got old sets so it feels like playing 2017 Hearthstone. If you ever get behind on board just slightly, there's almost no way to come back unless you happen to be one of the lucky few and get offered a flamestrike or lightning storm.

Just had maybe the coolest, yet least intuitive win ever as a Control Shaman that I tossed Saronite Chain Gang into, just for shits and giggles.

Naga Priest had 2 decent sized minions it was building up. I had an Infused Devourer in hand, but it was turn 8, so I couldn't use it yet. I figured my best chance to survive was to put as many taunts in the way, so I played Bolner into Chain Gang, but because Bolner is the one that triggers the battlecry, he makes a copy of himself, so I was slightly worried he was going to connect with my face.

Turned out he didn't; he just made really big taunts to put in my way and my two Bolners were still on the board. I played Devourer to eat his smallest stuff, then the Bolners both ate the remaining gigantic taunts to gain massive stats and clobber him in the face for lethal.

I usually have at least a decent idea of what quality of Arena deck I draft once it's over.

This no-endgame, zero-spell Spiteful Summoner deck getting to 7 wins is throwing everything I thought I knew out the window.

Edit: Make that 8 wins.

I still would've had them at like #24 last week.

There are not 27 better teams than the Raiders. Let alone the god-awful Bears. Your top 15 looks just like mine, though I'd bump the Vikings up over the Cowboys. But my bottom 17 would look like this:

#16. Las Vegas Raiders
#17. Tennessee Titans
#18. Detroit Lions
#19. Denver Broncos
#20. New Orleans Saints
#21. New England Patriots
#22. New York Giants
#23. Atlanta Falcons
#24. Cleveland Browns
#25. Seattle Seahawks
#26. New York Jets
#27. Pittsburgh Steelers
#28. Indianapolis Colts
#29. Washington Commanders
#30. Chicago Bears
#31. Carolina Panthers
#32. Houston Texans

I just tilted an arena opponent off a fucking cliff. His 6-mana turn was a Masked Reveler that deathrattled into a Stoneborn General to go with his 5/3 on the board. My 6-mana turn was a Creepy Painting into Immolation Aura + hero power to kill his entire board and have an 8/8 remaining. He immediately alt+F4'd.

Even though I'd never bothered trying this before, I googled "(his username) twitch" and one came up. I clicked on it and he was actually live, and I got so excited that it might've been caught on stream, but nah, it was just some random guy playing Overwatch 2.

So with this, I'm really confident in the top 3 teams being the Bills, Chiefs, and Eagles in some order.

......... who the fuck is #4?

Some folks on twitter are now claiming videos they've posted are being DMCA'd. If there was any doubt left, I feel like that's pretty well gone now.

Going back to Vice City, it would appear: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/301675946468048897/1020959087401385994/unknown.png

It's Vice City. As evidenced by VCPD and this straight up metro screenshot: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/301675946468048897/1020959087401385994/unknown.png

You can find all kinds of stuff pretty much everywhere. Seems SUPER legit. And there's so much of it that this would have to be a ton of people working together on this, solely to fuck with everyone in order for it to be fake.

I believe they limit you to 1 per day. And there are 5 days left.

I got tantalizingly close to being able to finish my 30/40 Triforce Piece + Ganon game in one day, which is pretty absurd. Had level 3 sword and silver arrows, so I only needed two more pieces (and fire rod would be nice, but not technically necessary) and it would've been over.

Dane played a ranked game where his opponent got to have 7 turns, and he got 83.
