    Computer issues?

    @Tarranon
    And, if for some reason, his transformer was struck by lightning or whatever, what's the rules on that

    Edit: Shouldn't be an issue. Though for hypothetical future circumstances, what is the ruling on that.

    i see him back on bnet

    if the match had a D/C i'd like to give the players some leeway in hashing it out. if they both agree that it was early and there was not a clear victor, then a rematch can be had for that round. if there is disagreement, the person who disconnected forfeits that match.

    is the bestest one. Grats

  • TarranonTarranon Registered User regular
    as anyone watching my stream will probably tell you i successfully bumbled my way to victory

    thank you for your patience watching this silly man, thanks everyone for playin this week!

    special thanks to, i think it was @Snowglobe‌ who created the original version of dethlok that carried most of my matches for me

    it is a really fun deck and apparently way tourney competitive. i think it went all the way last time it was featured too?

    Well, between how much warlocks love to kill their own stuff and all the new deathrattle minions, the deck practically builds itself

  • MMMigMMMig Registered User regular
    That deck is so emo.

    lmao almost my entire stream was muted by twitch

    if it's apparently illegal to stream music, how is it legal to stream the game?

    uh

    you haven't been paying much attention to gaming news lately, have you

    (also, long story short: the MPAA exists but does not control control videogame content)

    I would recommend adding spellbenders. Def better than most all secrets.

    Don't have one, but I see the merits. That said, it's exactly a counterspell vs. many anti-minion spells, and better vs. buffs, but doesn't counter AOE. It's probably less baitable than a counterspell.

    Anyone who owns them should definitely try it and report back.

    IMHO, Mirror entity is the strongest mage secret if used well (not counting iceblock cheese). It requires a little luck and guesswork, but it does copy initial buffs (i.e. Druid of the Claw comes out as 4/6 taunt, not a 4/4), and is absolutely crippling in terms of momentum shifts at the right time. Seriously, I have difficulty expressing my love for copying Druid of the Claw in specific enough.

  • kimekime Queen of Blades Registered User regular
    Mirror Entity is good, but I think Duplicate is overall better. Ice Block has saved me more games too. Mirror Entity's problem is it's fairly easy to test for. If they don't/can't test it, then it can get you some big wins though, yeah.

    Part of it depends on the deck. Results are super inconsistent against, say, zoo*, because you might be getting an Owl, and who cares about a 2/1 with no battlecry. But, OTOH, I wonder what a rogue really wants to play with 5 mana. You either get a top tier card or you slow them down by a turn, unless they have bait which is both ideal for playing and not very good for you.

    *Zoo is where the mirror image shines, hopefully with the much hated Wyrm, Coin, Mirror turn 1, and if RNGesus likes you enough, a Sorc Apprentice + free Missiles on the next turn.

    I'm pretty sure DotC never actually hits the field as a 4/4, since if a bear form one is bounced to your hand it's a 4/6 taunt and can't be turned into a charge. A better example would be an ancient of war, who does hit the board as a 5/5 and gets the appropriate buff; mirror entity will copy the buff.

    And also mirror entity will copy whatever a faceless copies, rather than the 3/3 body.

    also while people are here and i'm not playing yet i'm just gonna take a general interest check:

    would any players be interested in experimenting with a bring five ban 1 format, everything else being kept the same?

    i have enjoyed our Bo5 vanillas but maybe it would be nice to shake things up
