    Every time I play UtH, I feel obligated to say, "Smithers, release the hounds."

    <edit: this post was made when the comic referenced to Hunters> If I can't miss-click my pet, aggro half an instance, and wipe 39 other people in a raid, it's not a Hunter.

    My favorite was forgetting to dismiss my pet before jumping off the balcony in Gnomergon....no wonder everyone running that instance had a "no hunters" policy.

    There was a similar spot in Lower Blackrock Spire. Also, back then the pet AI was a little iffy. Even on Passive your buddy would sometimes choose to just jaunt off after some distant orc. So you still had to watch closely even if you never botched a command.

    Zoo is a Warlock thing. Hunter stuff is currently all about Kolento’s Hunter Deck that's not the traditional Hunter aggro which was super popular for ages.

    I sort of like to think of this as being related to the fuzzy timelime/setting of the comic, where sometimes it seems like they're still two bachelor roommates and sometimes they have wives and kids like the real Mike and Jerry. Specifically, I like to think this is them still living in their disgusting first apartment, and it has horrible green shag carpet they've never replaced.

    I still need to find someone with an iPad who will let me install Hearthstone on it and play it long enough to get through a game for my free pack.

    My favorite was a buddy who forgot his pet was on 'aggressive' from something he was doing earlier. We were prepping for Vael and he summons the pet, which immediately charges the big, scary dragon. Instant wipe and a lot of "wtf" and laughter on vent.

    I literally only had 1 PVE use for "aggressive", there was one Horde quest where you fought many spawns of Timbermaw trash before their king showed up.

    It's not just Hunters, they just have it easiest.

    It's completely unbalanced, but the strongest decks in the game aren't the ones full of legendary cards and high damage.

    They're the ones filled with tons of low-cost minions. Just throw a bunch out, and cast a buff on em, if your opponent doesn't have a spell that can completely clear your side of the board in one shot, you win.

    Gabe said he had trouble playing netdecks. I know exactly how he feels -- I have the same issue, and I'm sure others do as well.

    There's a new streamer that has a short video series about how to build decks. It's got some really good information so I thought I'd post a link here. Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Dreadmaker in any way, other than watching his channel on YouTube.
