    i try to make decks that give my opponent that very feeling. daring report? so much fun.

    but of course this also means I ain't breaking 16. . .

    alternatively dropping down to 1 HP with a mill deck and activating reno feels amazing.

    edit: or when up against a reno kaz warlock your draw your beneath the grounds as your 29th card.

    not sure what's happening here ( no sound but maybe thats not needed)

    he concedes before the pyro interacts, but other than that he still seemed pretty fucked?

    edit: or is it that he thought she had lethal left while she was 1 short?

    She was 1 off lethal and he was playing aggro shaman with 4 damage on board/hand (plus 0-2 from hero power depending on which it is) so he just needed to topdeck 1-3 damage which isn't even unlikely.

  • bwaniebwanie Posting into the void Registered User regular
    yeah he probably counted the bluegills and forgot about pyro taking them out

    It is pretty funny to be able to see the reaction of both sides there. I always wonder what the other person is thinking when I top deck something perfect (or more likely hero power for 4 turns then concede).

    I never realized how annoying/good Reno Priest can be. Sometimes they have the answer for everything that comes their way.

    I got 5 new, and completely random, viewers last night. One guy told me he just jumped into the stream because he was drunk. OK, lol! Played a bunch of very random decks and even a few matches against the chat. Pretty cool to have some non-PA viewers.

    Gonna stream sometime today, which you should all tune in for since it's my 41st birthday. Man I'm old...

    I played against a Reno Mage today and played 3 10 mana Kazakus spells. It must be depressing for them to play games where their Ice Block will literally never activate.

    Apparently, having 2 rags on your board can be very good!

    Another month of a frustrating grind at rank 16. A turn 0 loss for every win. I just want my rare, godammit.

    Update: No, 2 turn 0 losses for every win. Down to rank 17-0 now.

    so how do you beat jade decks? do you want to race to the face or keep their board clear or what is the deal there

    Tempo and a wide, high health board if you can swing it (since Druid doesn't really have AoE).

    I've enjoyed your streams the times I've caught them but usually they're soooo late for me.

    Depends on what you are playing but mostly board precense and hitting their face unless there is a good trade to be made. Prioritize a wide, high health board and force him to play removal instead of ramping/developing his jades. Save some burn for reach because he had some fat ass taunts.

    My cringe play of the week:

    I'm playing a dragon priest variant that includes Ysera. I'm facing lethal with a lone Ysera on my side of the board but I'm not worried because I have Ysera Awakens in hand and that plus Ysera was exactly lethal. All I had to do was heal myself first because I was at 5 health.

    I forgot to heal myself first.

    So that'd have been a tie. But there's more. I wanted to show off and give my opponent a moment to realize they're about to lose. So instead of going face with Ysera, I played Ysera Awakens first. Yeah.

    i want to thank you for this post.

    i probably would have just killed my own minions and missed lethal with Ysera Awakens if I didn't read this.

    i did this earlier today because I realized I had a headache and didn't want to sit through a game.

    coincidentally I was also playing paladin.

    Actual situation that just played out for me:

    Savannah Highmane in my mulligan. "No thanks. I don't need a 6 drop in my opening hand." Toss Savannah Highmane. My mulligan gets replaced with Sylvanas. My turn 1 draw is Savannah Highmane. My turn 4 draw is the other Savannah Highmane.

    Seriously, Blizzard. Just save me the time and take a star away before even throwing me into the "game."

    Now we're talking! That'd save a lot of time and be the exact same experience at the rank I'm at.

    play a different deck? no one should be having that experience and it's unfortunate to me that that would be anyone's perspective on the game.

    not sure why you'd keep playing a game where you don't feel like your input means anything. you can't even enjoy your wins.

    Besides just horrible luck, my only guess is that new/incomplete collection players are becoming more and more scarce on the ladder, bringing the average match difficulty up and in general deflating ranks. The game tells me that rank 15 is now top 30% for the season.

    Oh, and I finally just hit 15 thanks to getting matched against 3 druids in a row that I was able to run over with face damage before they became impenetrable. I'm sure I lucked out in them not having the right removal, and one game I won a coin flip Deadly Shot on the Ancient of War over an Azure Drake.

    I think my Elekk joust win rate was 1 out of 10 today.

    even without yogg, there really is so, so much rng in this game that is dumb.

    i'm crushing my opponent and have lethal on the board including a 14/9 jade reporter with taunt (shield of argus) with 2 other minions. opponent dirty rats out something, then mct -> of course he gets the huge jade reporter and wins the game off her back.

    sometimes i just shake my head and wonder how anyone at all can take this game seriously.

    doesn't mean it's not fun. it is fun! but it's impossible for me to consider skill the main win condition in this game.

    Light googling suggests that is generally a connectivity issue of some sort. May be some internet issues due to the ice storm going on in the Midwest. You might just be boned and have to wait? Otherwise try on your phone/tablet if that's an option?

    Yesterday my Patches survived for five turns and also enabled a turn 3 Bloodsail Cultist on a 2-durability rusty hook, effectively doing 9 damage over the course of the game.

    But he's really not all that impactful, right?
