This is why you never BM.

BM has zero consequence as long as you understand the game.

hmm

I haven't been seeing many pirate warriors around lately

any good replacements for golakka crawler in Hunter? preferably cheap beasts
---

what I'd really love is a card that can deal with 11 health worth of taunts that Druid is capable of playing by turn 2 but well there's no tech card for this yet
---

that is actually

a really good answer

especially considering what I was most having trouble with in the early turns (cheap high health taunts)

Keep it IMO. Rogue is pretty common now and they run buffed Patches and Captains. Also deals adequately with 1 Shaman Opener.

Plus even without Pirates in the meta it may be worth running just because of the beast tag.

Prince 2 is one of the cards where I question how good the playtesters actually are at the game.

Also ever since adding more draw engine to my priest deck it's become very common for me to find BOTH raza and shadowreaper in my bottom 15 cards if not bottom 10. Like I'd say since the deck changes it's happened 75% of the time. That's basically 75% of games I can't win unless the other guy majorly misplays. Like had a game versus big priest. Did everything right had great answers. Kazakus polymorphed his summon, potion of madnessed two of them (shadowvisions), etc. But could not burst him down because shadowreaper is the last card in my deck. I'm watching dogs stream now and almost all his priest opponents have had Raza/Shadowreaper on or close to on curve.
---

decided to hedge my bets. I left the Golakka Crawler in because it curves out nicely as a beast, but I did add two Ironbeak Owl by cutting other stuff. Deadly shot often served the same purpose but was unreliable due to randomness, and the second Eaglehorn Bow was rarely if ever being used. Quickly pushed to rank 15 without losing any games aw yeah.

And yet how long did it take for people to seriously start using it?

Which kinda surprises me, TBH. I could see that card wasn't trash from the get-go.

Some things I've noticed since it became apparent my account is flagged for bad RNG results:

-losing multiple Brawls 17 games in a row
-7 Lich Kings in a row for my opponents have dropped Frostmourne first
-I have only gotten 40 gold quests, and I always reroll 40 good quests, meaning I've gotten two 40 gold quests daily for almost a month
-Raza or Anduin, and often both, are always in the last 5 cards of my deck
-nine games in a row as hunter with no 1 drops in my opening hand, and I mull everything other than Eaglehorn Bow to search for 1 drops
-multiple instances of 4 spells in my deck, needing to tutor for one, and Shadow Visions missing

I could go on, but the point here is this game is not random.

^ I was just playing a game against Mage that I had absolutely won. he literally had no cards remaining in his hand or his deck. after casting his final spell, his ateish summoned arfas which gave him exactly frostmourne to repeatedly hit me in the face for 5 damage and win the game.
---

I'm basically at the tail end of an 8 game losing streak where deathknight gul'dan has repeatedly been at the bottom of my deck and I would have won if he was in any other position

feels so familiar to be playing hearthstone again!
---

well at least I ended on two games where I crushed aggro decks back to back (new zoolock followed by some kind of hunter variant)
---

I really dislike that autofill decks are pretty much all the same now. Trying to finish Warrior and Druid quests and just autofilled both of them, outside of class cards I think they're the exact same deck.

Autofill wars were some of my favorite matches from the start of the game.
---

That is a very hipster stance to take.
---

Nah the mirror is 100% who draws Raza and Anduin first

It's very easy to OTK or do well over 20 damage once you get the combo
---

I just played a mirror where he drew 10 more cards than me, got Raza and Anduin first, and I still won.

I had god tier shadow visions for double healing potion and thoughtstole his pack and had a god tier Lyra.

Feels Priest Man.
---

I mean there are exceptions of course but still

There was a Priest that put like 20 to me in 1 turn but I had Priest of the Feast to push myself up and was able to kill both his Velen and Radiant Ele

Here ya go, Ulti. Here's your skill-based game:

Made hunter and hit rank 3. Not sure if I should add in more 1 drops for more aggression or keep with the midrange type. Like not sure what I'd cut for firefly, maybe the nesting roc and another card. I don't actually think I have any poor matchups, but none I'd consider to be strong either.

I'm a huge media hipster so yeah.

We're up to 8 lich kings in a row dropping swords for my opponents.

Is Blizzard known for tagging the accounts of known boosters?
