    I don't recall the name.

    Yeah that

    And the Gurubashi thing is just absurd. If a priest can get both berserkers out early in a game, then I see very few ways they can lose.

    To be fair there are a lot of ways to kill a minion regardless of health

    That said, I love my Pally and they just really don't have a great way to kill a 28 health minion, at least not that I know of

    which is a sample of 3 random days of the highest ranking in ranked play, and i think it does a really good job of demonstrating the problems with low levels

    a lot of people complain about priest but as you can see at high levels it's the only class that reliably does poorly

    this means that while priests are easy to work around, new players simply are not given either the tools or the knowledge to do so

    wow that's a great slide

    warlock makes sense. as soon as I started unlocking cards for him I was like "man this guy seems way too good"

    even voidwalkers seem wildly OP

    Voidwalker is not OP

    You are taking up one (or two) slots in your deck for something that is basically ONLY useful as a stopgap in early game

    Read INANTP's post in the BROBA thread but basically Taunt is not as good as you think it is

  • JasconiusJasconius sword criminal mad onlineRegistered User regular
    yea but it's a 1 mana 1/3 taunt that you can tap into 5 health or draw cards with

    that's... a lot utility for one mana

    I would say Voidwalker is an okay-to-good card based on how you build your deck, but he's very combo dependent. He can work well with other cards but I wouldn't put a Void in for the purpose of having a Void.

    e: Part of the problem with Void is that almost no one is running 2 attack minions.

    yeah, i've come to realize taunts are just not that good

    sure i could put a taunt down, but for the attack/health cost i'm getting, all it is is a stopgap kill me card that won't do anything for me next turn since it'll be dead

    also i hate living flame cause humility doesn't do anything to it

    You can sacrifice a void for 5 health, and I think there's another one to sacrifice him to draw cards.

    Do you mean Sacrificial Pact?

    That's a different card so it doesn't really count toward Voidwalker's utility, Sacrificial Pact can work on any demon

    the only warlock card that draws cards is Mortal Coil
    1 mana
    Deal 1 damage to a minion. If that kills it, draw a card.

    i would probably not run a mortal coil just because it's pretty useless if i can't draw a card with it

    the other card that would interact with the void is Demonfire
    2 mana
    Deal 2 damage to a minion. If it’s a friendly Demon, give it +2/+2 instead.

    which is 2 cards and 3 mana to play a Sen'jin Shieldmasta, which isn't that efficient





    fake edit: you could use it with a Void Terror too i guess but i think void terror is a pretty bad card, why would you turn two creatures into one creature that becomes more vulnerable to silence and removal and

    This is a good place to point out something else

    If you play a lot of magic, you may be tempted to stack a bunch of buffs on the same minion

    This is due to a few things (Creatures in magic only take damage if they die, you have to destroy each enchantment separately)

    Don't do this

    If you have a lot of buffs, spread them around. One silence or destroy card will ruin you.

    becomes more vulnerable to some removal and less vulnerable to other removal like consecrate blizzard explosive trap hero powers swipe etc

    that blood knight card though

    +3/+3 for every divine shield? yeesh.

    the one secret i have in there will be helpful for keeping some low health cards up too

    i'm surprised at the high mana decent divine shield cards too. didn't know those were there

    of course the build is also like, not based on what i have available, just on all cards, hence tirion

    Yes

    As far as I can tell, you ALWAYS get a pack out of arena

    You will then get the chance of gold, cards, or dust as you do better

    I would probably say always arena, but maybe there's a reason I'm not considering

    I can definitely get that some people find Arena frustrating

    But until (or if) they implement some kind of in-game tournament system or something with prizes

    It's the only thing in the game where there is a sort of end goal other than "keep playing and winning"

    Given the small sample size and high level of variance on those graphs I'd be reluctant to draw any major conclusions from them, not that your argument isn't otherwise valid mind you.

    The weirdest thing about the charts is that Shaman are major league losers in two graphs, and then pretty strong winners in another

    anything beyond 5% from even I would say is compelling data, considering the rank

    (it also suggests that Shaman's may rely very heavily on luck of the draw with their totems)

    like with a 30 card deck you sometimes Just Don't Get Good Cards at the start while your opponent gets his godhand and rolls you
