Lurker > ShatteredElysium

Yeah fuck Priest.

Just had a game where he Barnes out a Y'shaarj who pulls out Lich King on Turn 4. I somehow manage to kill both the Y'shaarj and Lich King anyway. He then Eternal Servitudes out Yshaarj again who pulls out another Yshaarj. I go face an have him at 4 HP (with 5 damage in hand). He uses Greater Healing Potion and the 2 Yshaarj pulls out Ysera and Obsidian (not that I could have dropped 2x 10/10's on Turn 5 anyway)

So in summation

Turn 4: Barnes > Y'shaarj > Lich King (Board cleared anyway)
Turn 5: Eternal Servitude > Y'Shaarj > Yshaarj
Turn 6: Greater Healing Potion + Ysera + Obsidian Statue

That's just fucking ludicrous.

Ulti you need to accept that whilst you are surely a good player, you just might not be as good as you think you are / other players out there are good too.

I mean I totally get it, I am a sore loser too at times. Whilst I don't vent on here about it too much, my girlfriend for sure sees it. Hearthstone is the only game she wonders why I bother playing because she sees I get annoyed from time to time when I lose (I do with other games too but she doesn't see it, probably because I'm better at other games)

Lost to a Druid in Arena after he got King Krush off Tortollan Forager

Truly nobody ever expects King Krush!

Yeah, Priest continues to be the class which is the least fun to play against. I'd rather play against Pirate Warrior* than Priest. Even when I win, it isn't satisfying.

*Or Jade Druid or old Shaman or whatever your cancer deck is

Agree that for arena purposes Jaina isn't that good. Off a discover she is good, in your deck there's a lot of other cards I'd rather see

Then again I've been complete trash this arena expansion averaging under 3 wins a run so the hell do I know.

I have not won a single game where the opponent played Ultimate Infestation against me. Including a couple of losses where I had them down to low single digits before they played it.

I think it's because if you don't have an immediate answer to it, it is very likely they drew something to take complete control of the board. Granted I've always been at a disadvantage against it because of playing a fast deck so by the time that gets thrown down, it's over unless I have a large board (in which case they concede rather than throw it down probably)

Devolve is pretty ridiculous value depending on what's on the board

Seems like the meta right now (at least at lower ranks) doesn't seem to account for aggro like at all. Like my deck is kinda borderline aggro borderline mid-Hunter and I'm just waltzing through every match because nobody has an answer to it at all.

Think from 20 > 14 I've lost 4 matches with most games ending in the Turn 5-9 range

Hunters Mark won't help with stealthed minions or Stampeding Kodo. Does help with Dispatch Kodo

Hunter has a couple of minions which do damage on death though. And DK Rexxar can make poisonous/large dispatch Kodos or deathrattle poison damage minions.

Probably not. Everything I see on Google says it's not needed. I'll call a healthline and find out.

From what my health and safety manager says the rabies shot is 21 injections over 21 days. So errr is rather not have the inconvenience if I can get away with it

It's up to date. Same with my Tetanus. I help out with stray cats a lot so kinda necessary. But I'll go get a booster after work yeah

It did indeed get the chip and then sat like 2ft away from the table eating it. It just carried on loitering around the table afterwards too

I don't blame the squirrel. It's what happens when wild animals get fed by people.

It was pretty small too so probably less than a year old

So how long before my squirrel super powers or rabies kick in?

Was at an outside area in a restaurant where they just loiter around, I guess because people feed them or they grab shit off the floor. It came up and bit and scratched my finger trying to steal a chip out of my hand whilst I was talking. Don't think it was trying to get me, was just trying to quickly grab the food

Worst thing is, my work is strict so I have to file an incident report for it as it's on company time. I had been taking trainees out for lunch.

Yeah I guess Black Knight makes sense. See so many Lich Kings

Which was pretty much what people said would happen at Geist reveal. It was like people forgot that Jade Druid could still just smash your face in

I know that it doesn't make ice block less OP, but eater of secrets really does screw over a freeze mage's gameplan super hard, before KotF I can't tell you how many times I ran into a mirror match where I won because I had teched in eater of secrets. If someone (ulti I presume) really does have such a grudge against ice block then why not run at least one?

He does.

Point is you shouldn't have to run 1 certain card at all times because one build is so good/frustrating. It's kind of like skulking geist I guess. Meta should balance itself out, not just have a 1 card answer because of bad balance

Is anyone running BGH again? Seem to be running into a lot of big minions so thinking about it.

no bearshark in my deck. hunter has too many great 3 drops already and it literally dies to 2 drops.

and yeah I haven't had any trouble winning matches or anything. I just feel like if I had the option to drop DK Rexxar late in the game it might give me a slight chance to come back and win the games that are otherwise unwinnable for me right now.

I only drop Bearshark on to empty boards or behind taunts when I have control. It's situationally good I guess. It can be a pain to remove in the right conditions

I also need to teach myself to play around defile as it's caught me out a few times now

Also bearshark is super fun if you get an adapt and/or taunt on it

Actually I did get a fun card yesterday. It was a 7/7 stealth that I then adapted to give windfury.

Made DK Rexxar and dumped him into my existing hunter deck with a few minor tweaks. Took me easily from 20 > 17 but all the matches I won, I won without needing him. And all the matches I lost, I lost after playing him. Just a sign my deck is too fast I guess.

It certainly is fun but doesn't feel as impactful as other heroes. Every other hero that came out against me, beat me. May also be because I wasn't offered any silly combos too. Think the best I got was a poisonous dispatch lot I

Probably more a case of my deck not being suited to it

Jesus just pay the ticket. You went through a red light without fully stopping.

Agree. It's $200 and no points. Just pay the damn thing.

I got a ticket via camera for running a red light a few years back and I could've waited 60 days to see if they actually issued the fine as the first thing they send is just a notice saying pay this now or pay a higher amount after 60 days. Apparently where I live there's a decently high chance they don't send you the fine, especially if it's borderline like mine was, and then it drops off. But if they do send it, it's on your record. I just paid the damn thing as it wasn't worth the higher fine or risk of going on my record even if I had a chance of fighting it or just flat out ignoring it

Did an Arena where I was offered Nzoth on pick 2 and pick 4. Which was then promptly followed by being offered only 1 deathrattle card for rest of draft (loot hoarder).

Think I'm going to give Arena a rest for a while. Drafting terribly and doing shit.

Have 7k dust so maybe I'll play some constructed. Have DK Jaina and And gin but don't really want to use those. Might make Rexxar as it looks fun at least

It's taking me a while to get used to new expansion arena. First run after release was ok but my 3 arena runs since have been 2-3, 1-3, 1-3 and in my latest run I'm currently 2-2 with a janky ass control mage I have no confidence in winning another game with

I referenced draft value charts before and KCF basically said it doesn't really reflect fair value in Madden.

Never saw this before, that's pretty cool.

I was briefly sad to see the Browns leave Cleveland but then again can I really blame them.

They at least have a legit rivalry with divisional teams in B8 NFL rather than it being one sided like the real NFL.

In the last 3 seasons, the Steelers and the Browns have contested the same playoff place in Week 17. One of those times even in a straight up match. Browns have come out on top twice and Steelers once. NFL Browns are actually pretty good (well except last season when the entire AFC North was awful)
