Hey we can do Benedictus and Elekk

Or we can do Brann and Elekk and Benedictus and Zola all in one turn after one Emperor Proc

Clumsy climb to legend continues. Will I make it by the end of the month?

Spoilers: I absolutely will not!

I went on a little run and nearly got to 3 before falling back down to 5 and giving up. I'm on "complete quests" mode until the new expansion.

I've been on "complete quests" mode for the last four years.

Ive been winning games with Quest Druid, which certainly means Ive been winning with skill.

I've probably won 30% of my games against Token Druid with Control Mage, so it's definitely not an impossible matchup.

I do, however, tech an Abomination in my deck, which has won the game for me a couple times.

Shudderwock Shaman, though, is some bullshit. Over the last few weeks I've automatically conceded if I don't see the Genn animation at the beginning of the game. The star isn't worth having to sit through a game against that deck.

I'm running Big Spell Mage with 1 Abomination in it. I just prefer to call it Control Mage. They're basically the same deck.

Does this mean Ulti stops playing

brother, ulti is still gonna be playing hearthstone and complaining about RNG when the heat death of the universe happens
---

Heat Death Of The Universe is the new Druid legendary spell, right?
---

lol

sounds a bit underpowered for druid. they need something more impactful, like maybe Absolute Zero.

0 Mana. Your opponent can no longer gain mana crystals or play cards or draw cards.

(the downside is that your opponent becomes immune to fatigue, so it's balanced)

Same exact thing happened two games in a row. Stonehill, Lich King, Death and Decay.

Skill is NO FACTOR in Hearthstone. Only RNG matters. This is a matchup big spell mage cannot win without RNG, and I get to see it happen twice in a row.

It proves my point forever. It proves people FD wrong forever. There is absolutely no skill component in Hearthstone.

For the record when I asked VI how to get over the rank 2 hump in messenger, the answer was draw well and be lucky. VI hits legend every month, and he agrees that only luck matters.

Know what doesnt matter? Player skill. Not one minutia of one fucking percent. Never has. Never will. When you have a game designed around Mario Kart Syndrome, YOU HAVE A BAD GAME.

I mean ulti's right in the sense that he personally doesn't possess enough skill to impact the game

Objectively false, but you can continue failing at trolling if you want. The only handicap anyone can ever have in Hearthstone is bad RNG.

VI or Kripp or Kibler are not better than everyone else. Theyre luckier. Ive been pro in multiple card games. Hearthstone is by far the worst one Ive played, because its specifically designed to remove all player skill from ever mattering.

Any game that makes Yugioh look good is trash, and I highly doubt anyone with YGO experience would disagree. That game is a POS. Blizzard literally admitted that they designed Hearthstone to not have player skill matter and that Overwatch is their e-sport game of choice. I am objectively correct in my assessment of Hearthstones design.

Narcissism certainly makes ones self image pretty good

you definitely do not bro it makes you super weak to my sickburns

Lemme make the next topic btw friends, itll keep ulti away from the topic for a few days

Thanks, Camden.

I'm glad I checked the Asia server. Fire Festival is over tonight and it's back to regular gold levels tomorrow, so I made sure to clean out my quests today while it was still running. Been stuck on three quests for a while now, refreshing every day to try and squeeze out every extra 20 gold from the higher tier quests.

Time to decide if forcing myself to win 3 tavern brawls is worth the extra 60 gold.

That'd take, what an hour tops? 60 gold for 60 minutes work. One gold a minute.

I didn't mind this Tavern Brawl really. First try, easy peasy with Combo Priest.

Warlock is 2 mana each player transforms a random minion in their hand with a demon.

Biology Project
Demonic Project

I didn't know every class was supposed to be getting one, but I assume they're all cards that effect both players.

I've asked this in the past, but it's been a while.

What's the most underrated/underplayed card in standard right now?

Who wants 160 gold

Mecha'Thun. I know what legendary I'm crafting.

But Hearthstone isnt about skill

Use strength on the truck to find your 151st point.

Deathspeaker. I hadn't even heard of it until looking at Odd Rogue lists, specifically Zalae's Odd Rogue. He find Void Rippers, which is fairly common. But the Deathspeaker can do some nifty stuff. Usually, I can clear a big taunt with a giant Hench Clan man without losing it. That's the main use I've found for it: getting in a sweet trade without losing a minion. Decent body, but it's the tempo gain that makes it work. No-one sees it coming.
