    I'm actually thinking about crafting Lyra to play a priest deck. And I've played like 30 ranked games with priest, to give you an idea.

    I am still not quite sure where I want to put Elise; I think she probably fits in this paladin deck I have, the question is where, and for what.

    Oh hey NickChipper on Ukraine is apparently running Medivh naturally in his Priest deck. Is that normal? I've seen Medivh being used in a couple mage decks by streamers, but didn't expect it to show up in a tournament.

    Such a hard worker, actually utilizing both monitors for work. :P

    Looks like Medivh Priest is gonna beat Taunt Warrior, I think. Unless something weird happens, but they aren't looking good now.

    Yeah, Paladins playing multiple Lightlords and Tirions is a thing that happens now.

    Croatia had a great start with Hunter, the double 1/1 Alley Cats with a Hyena to follow up.

    But Ukraine was able to Coin+Maelstrom Portal the cats, then Jade Claws the Hyena.

    Ouch, you can just feel the win slipping away already :(

    I've seen it in lots of priest decks to play the turn before freed from amber, so you get 2 potential 8 cost bodies on the field.

    That's actually what they did, yeah. Well, close enough :P.

    This is a nice game, it seems like there's some solid plays by both players to just maximize their chances. I think Coatia getting blocked on turns 1/2 is gonna be their downfall though, slowed them down a bit too much.

    3 sweep by ukraine. I missed all but the last few turns of Neira's shaman match. Really good plays there at the end to keep their health up vs the hunter deck.

    Ukraine I don't know NickChipper. The rest I've seen on streams. That's a really really good team. O_O

    I did that in a similar manner. Monitor 1 was laptop/notepad++ writing and holding things, monitor 2 was for analytics and sql queries, monitor three was web browsing things. I dunno what I"d done witha fourth monitor. Probably moved PA's page over to it.

    ?? Online it shows Lifecoach as a German player, not Wifecoach. Did they switch?

    This Hunter game is looking similar to Croatia's. If the opponent is able to block your first couple turns, feels hard to get back the momentum.

    She was listed on the team roster on stream and was sitting in near the group so I assumed she played. I missed that match and didnt catch it on the rebroadcast so I don't truly know if she was still there by that time. She was I think listed third or fourth and with Germany's w-l record I dunno if she played or not.

    And to the hunter deck, we'll see if the priest can control it. Right now we've got sticky minions but Priest is holding on to Lyra, 2 shadow visions an a auchenai.

    Woosh, Lyra on an empty board with no mana for spells this turn. That is a gamble!

    And it didn't pay off.

    Mexico is playing Ysera in their Hunter deck. This is a weird deck :lol:. But on the plus side, it looks like an overall higher curve than Croatia's from before, looks like it may recover and maybe win now going into the lategame.
