Board 8 > Hearthstone Discussion Topic: MONSTER HUNT

(+) Yeah! (+)

Had awful luck in my games. Saw several cubes, but my losses were to a cubelock with the nuts, a tempo mage who ended the game with a 9/1 mana wyrm, and a priest who spent all his mana every turn clearing my board and developing his.

Still tho made gold so idc

So I think I'm going to have more than 100 bosses defeated with Shaw as well when everything is said and done. Just got to Glinda in three straight runs and none was even close. Also far less fun than any of the other classes. Don't have the slightest idea what strategy is supposed to work here as both deathrattle and buffed doggos were worthless.

You know what? I don't care that I'm rank 22. I don't care if it was against another Shudderwock deck so it was slow and there was zero pressure. I don't care that the single copy of Boar was the exact last card in my deck, which would normally get me all kinds of salty, in a deck with absolutely no other possible win condition. At least once, just once, this stupid ass deck won a game.

Had a game versus a DMH warrior as control mage. I was already upset because I wanted to queue in Paladin instead. Like I think both decks are unfavored (It's probably control mages second worst matchup next to qust rogue). Like I'm doing all I can to get pressure up. The Warrior wins TWO brawls like the first one was a 1/5 and the second was a 1/6. But he hasn't really gained that much armor... well he has but I was chipping away at it.

AND THEN I get anti-magic shell from lich king (the only card he gave me) and got it off on three minions. He already used brawl twice (he didn't get to dmh it) and now he can't use execute or shield slam. Basically barely won a game that I should probably lose nearly 100% of the time
---

I only ended up doing 3 runs of the brawliseum.

7 wins, 3 wins and 8 wins.

Can't complain about overall gaining gold to get 3 packs, though i wish i had played more.
---

Apparently Double Time stacks if you take it twice. Haven't had the chance to cast Time Warp yet but I'm assuming you get four turns in a row?
---

Went 1-3 in Brawliseum to get my free pack. Was playing Tess rogue and went up against Spiteful Druid, Spiteful Priest, Spiteful Druid, Cubelock.

I am getting real fucking sick of playing 2 weapon removal and 2 Spellbreakers and still getting shit on by Cubelock.
---

My gold legendaries were Blingtron (huge flavor win!) and... Cho.
---

I can confirm that double Double Time with the Mage Quest does give you four turns. I was at 3 health against Toki before I won because of it.

it's weird how the meta is so polarized that despite playing a deck which has favorable match ups against Warlock I knew exactly how you feel.
---

Don't get me wrong, I'm aware that Tess Rogue isn't "good." Nor did I probably play optimally. But my opponents were pretty garbage, and it's demoralizing to lose so decidedly against a mediocre player.

It happens in Magic as well sometimes, but not nearly as much as in Hearthstone because the power disparity is absurd.
---

Dammit, ulti found the topic.

Gg lets move out

Oh I went 4-3 in mine with Priest

Didnt draw the Duskbreaker for the Paladin with Call to Arms and a Warlock had turn 5 Skull and Harrison was bottom 3. Meh. It happens, in before something something skill when all card games are like that
---

Also Geist is ok but you dont necessarily need it in the Warlock matchup, but you do need weapon removal or maybe even death to deal with early giants
---

Curious what Geist can do now that a lot of them are playing the discover demon card.

Honestly the meta is so bad right now I just avoid constructed unless Im clearing dailies. As much as I hate to say it, Witchwood is definitely in the bottom third of expansions. Its on TGT levels of mediocrity.

Ulti making up for missing the first two pages by giving us the details of every turn of Hearthstone he ever plays.

porque no los tres?

as in literally, you should be running deaths, geist, and an ooze + maybe Harrison imho. Geist is also great against Baku Rogues to get rid of Cold Bloods, and getting rid of Arcane Missiles against Tempo Mage certainly isn't bad. And against Taunt Druid, getting rid of Naturalize destroys their deck.

ive been trying to add him to my bnet list for a few days cause I have an 80 gold quest I want to give him if he can prove he has the worst RNG in Hearthstone like he claims :c I just want him to be my friend

Beat a Cubelock with the Stonetusk OTK deck. I've solved the meta, boys.
---

Now that Priest can't steal them all the time, is silence the only real punish to running Loot Hoarder over Engineer? Engineer is better if you're topdecking and desperately need a card asap, but I feel like I should be safe running Loot Hoarders for the most part.

Here's two of my losses:

https://hsreplay.net/replay/PHHXXjWZsgV7mN6cgUwLqF

If you guys could point out my misplays, that would be great. I feel like I could have won either game had I played differently.

Against the paladin I just got super nervous. I always get the damn yips.

Game 1: steed turn was bad. Consecration was better. You werent playing around any removal against a MAGE and especially with arena balance changes you should have taken the safe route.

Game 2: you used hp on 3 instead of playing Kobold geomancer, and you didnt save it for spell damage or anything. This game was a little muddier but who knows what it could have done. Your opponent had a good deck against your rollout tho, so thats unfortunate.

In the second game on Turn 6 you Consecration > Pass. You could have Kobold > Geomancer to full clear the board. Or if you are going to leave up the Emerald Hive Queen then you could have at least Hero Powered.

I get the logic behind leaving it up (if you did it deliberately) but you had no board afterwards and nothing in hand to really change that so not sure the negative effect is really helping you out. Especially against a Paladin who might possibly have a buff card in his hand to apply severe pressure to you. Of course we know now that he had Spikeridged but he could have just as easily had some other buff card

Not sure how much that changes the game though. He probably throws down Argent Commander to kill the Kobold Geomancer and rest of game flows pretty much the same anyway.
