stig's opponent had two sylvani on the board, but thanks to the priest casting excavated evil his sylvs were low enough on health that brann + c'thun (I assume emp was involved as well) was guaranteed lethal
both sylvs died in the process, stealing brann and c'thun as the priest himself died
Opponent casts Excavated Evil, damaging Sylvs and Something Else? and killing Stig's taunt.
Oh. I get it now.
On Stig's turn, he drops Bran and then C'Thun. C'Thun tosses out 36 points of damage. In no particular order: 2 points go to the first Sylv, which "dies" but is still on the board. 2 more points go to the second Sylv, which also "dies" but is still on the board. 2+ points go to Something Else?, killing it. The remaining ~30 points of damage go directly to the Priest's face because every other valid target is dead. This is exactly lethal damage to DrB. With C'Thun's battlecry fully resolved, the Sylv deathrattles resolve, grabbing C'Thun and Bran. Game ends because DrB has 0 health.

Yep.
Sidenote, he didn't need anything else of the board--C'thun doesn't overkill people past 0, so Stig may have had more than enough to kill both sylvs and the priest (like 2-3 more that could have been soaked by the sylvs being at higher health), but we wouldn't see that since C'thun just stops firing once there's not anymore valid targets.
Wow. I know that I haven't really put any resources towards TGT, but I just went through and made an inventory spreadsheet of everything I have and seeing it like that is pretty funny. I have a total of 21 cards from TGT (2 of which are rare and 2 or which are epic). Hahaha, guess I know where I should start putting my gold!
So I've opened 2 TGT packs since this. Here's the one I just opened.
That's my first golden. So now I have the dust for 3 Legendaries. :biggrin:
I'm thinking N'Zoth & Sylvanas. Not sure about the third.
You are 1000% on point with with those two legendaries.
I'm torn between Justicar or Twin Emp (I'm close to a decent Zoo deck, so Gormok is up there too). No Tirion either.
If you play a lot of paladin, Tirion without question.
Then maybe Gormok since he fits into zoo and other aggressive decks pretty well.
I'm not sure about Veklor. I know he's an awesome card but I'm not convinced that Cthun decks are all that good. I don't think there are any in T1 right now.
Right now I'm only really playing Patron Warrior and Mid-Range Shaman mostly because they're the two decks I have the cards to play. The issue I'm having is basically choice paralysis because this is the most dust I've ever had at one time and I have a crap ton of holes in my collection.
Here is the entirety of my Epic & (craftable) Legendaries.
If I'm aggressive with my dusting, I'll have about 6500 to play with. So that's 4 Legendaries or maybe 3 Legendaries and some vital cards I'm still missing from classic (since I won't be buying any classic packs for quite a while). I think Sylvanas is the most obvious choice. She's very versatile and can go into a bunch of different decks, so she's a definite. But there's just so many choices for the rest of my dust. I'm kinda tempted to just go through and make a bunch of the classic cards I'm still missing (a 2nd Cold Blood/Eviscerate/Highmane/Aldor/Auchenai/Feral Spirit, a couple Dire Wolves, a MCT, at least one Ice Block/Prep/Twisting Nether/Doomsayer/Faceless Manipulator/Sea Giant).
I think someone posted this a few pages back, but there's a good crafting guide on Mana Crystals based on overall usage in decks, and then a summary of epics/legendaries for the popular decks. I found it very helpful.
Huh. I was told that Thalanos wasn't core for Miracle Rogue. Should I craft that? The only legendaries I'm using are VanCleef and Xaril.

Ok, I think I've done aaaaaalllll the intro stuff and opened up all my free new player packs. Boy, what a long way to go have I. It's definitely a fun game. I've enjoyed all the modes so far. The players with huge card libraries at the higher ranks is no fun, but hopefully after I flesh out my own library better in a few months that won't be so bad. Now to craft a few gimped C'Thun decks until I have some more options.

Your enthusiasm makes me happy! It is a great game and there is much fun to be had.
For the sake of people like you I wish there were a better mechanism in place for matchmaking. I'm no pro -- I've just played on-and-off for years, probably more seriously after this expansion than in the past. The highest I've ever ranked is 10 I'm usually hovering around 15. That said, I actually feel bad sometimes if I get matched against someone who I suspect is playing with limited experience and a shallow card pool, because I know how disheartening it can be to be on the other side of that match.
Since all the game has to go by is the rank, you lose the perspective you'd have of, say, a room full of gamers and conversation where you could just listen for a bit and figure out who you should and shouldn't be matched up against.
Oh the limited emotes quickly let me know who is a cockmonster for sure. Right now I wish it would match against similar library sizes though. Probably going to pick up blackrock and league for those cards soon. Out of the 20 packs for joining through the basics I got no additional legendary cards to base something around and very few overages to disenchant. So mostly I need to use that hearth arena site now that I've played once to hopefully smartly build out my decks some.
it'd be cool if rogue had a more reliable board clear that fit into miracle
if I don't start with backstab/si against several decks the game's already over.
I tried playing some Miracle in Casual. I died on like turn 5/6 to all kinds of stuff, I'm sure a good amount of that is skill with the deck but it really does fold to anything aggressive.

What I have found so far is that you have to aggressively fight for Board control. Against any "aggro" class you need to get either Fan or SI or Earthen.
I was doing pretty well against Aggro Shaman until today. Just dropped two in a row.

Good news: Beat the brawl on my first attempt, thanks to an on-point priest who refused to suicide his tiny minions and gave me a Millhouse right when I could make the best use of it (beefy minion on the board; BoK, Blessing of Might, Blessing of Wisdom, Seal of Champions, and Blessed Champion in-hand. BoW pulled me a Hand of Protection to ensure the minion stuck around for another hit!).
I finally got to rank 15! Honestly, I have never had such a hard time getting to 15 as this month. Not even the first month I was playing.
The fact that I got to 15 on an epic battle with a freeze mage as a miracle monkey rogue that somehow went to fatigue for *both* of us just makes it better.
I sapped his Antonidas which he only got one fireball out of, and then kept too much pressure on him/was at too high a health total for him to ever play it again. The card that won me the game was the last card in my deck. It was the monkey.

It's not great against aggro, but if you draw well, mulligan properly, and play well, you can win against even decently played zoo/face decks. The key thing is turn 5 (or 4 with coin) Drake->Prep->Fan or Thalnos->Fan. Hopefully you've been able to minimize serious problems before that with backstab, eviscerate, si, clearing with your face, and that 3/3 heal guy.
I'm not sure about aggro shield paladin specifically. I've won every time in that matchup, but only because they were played badly.
The problem is you have to draw really well. I'd say it's a 40% matchup against aggro at best. I've almost been considering 1 fan/1 blade flurry instead of 2 fans. Almost.
edit: the "control" version of miracle is the one I speak of. The "charge/otk" version of Miracle either sucks or I have no idea how to play it. Some of both, I think.

Played a control mage earlier today who had me on the ropes the entire game. We go all the way to fatigue and he drops Yogg who fills his board with minions right before casting Doom. Mage draws seven cards into fatigue and kills herself.
People, people, this is like the 4th Mechazod Brawl. How have we still not learned that you don't Cho on turn 2 and that you don't buff Cho because he just dies after 2 turns? GAAAH.

So, the board state is:
DRB: Sylvanus, Sylvanus, Something Else?
Stig: Low-health taunt
Opponent casts Excavated Evil, damaging Sylvs and Something Else? and killing Stig's taunt.
Oh. I get it now.
On Stig's turn, he drops Bran and then C'Thun. C'Thun tosses out 36 points of damage.
