My favorite interaction with another hearthstone player this month around rank 20 went like this:
Me testing out an elemental pally buff deck, him pirate warrior. He has perfect draws and kills me by turn 6.
All the while emoting every 10 seconds, with thanks.
So I add him after the match.
He says 'what's up?'.
He probably assumes I'm about to say something derogatory or just tell him to eat a dick.
Nope.
I start off by telling him that he played impressively well and then asked how many professional HS tournaments he has played in.
He says 'none so far'
I start stroking his ego, telling him that he has to be a top 100 player.
He replies with horribly spelled conversation.
I do this for the next 10 minutes.
I can't keep it up it any longer and break it to him that he is just a horrible person and that he couldn't play his way out of a paper bag and a whole lot of other nasty things I don't want linked to my name on the forums
Hum. I need to enter a new netdeck. desc lock, quest rogue and murlock shaman are starting to see too many counters.
Maybe elemental/buff quest paladin.
Non-quest budget Elementadin (minus one or two cards) is what I'm currently running with and, at least down here in the 20-17 range, it works pretty well.

I'm pretty sure I crushed his soul..
Damn that was satisfying
Don't do that.
For you to find that satisfying and a proper use of your time means your own soul has been crushed already.

To be a little bit less short about it, remember not only is this a game, it's a kids game.
If you decide to unload on some random person, there is a very real chance that you are yelling at a 10-year old.
Since I play mostly on my phone while commuting, I often close the app or pop over to twitter/web browser after a match is over. So when I come back on a while later and I have a friend request I'm never sure if it's a salty add I just missed at the time or someone legit. I tend to ignore them. Apologies if I've ignored anyone's request from here.
I did have a bit of glee the first time someone was upset enough after a loss against me to bother friending me and talking some shit. I probably don't need to have that happen often, but it was entertaining the first time around.
I just replied with Hearthstone emote speak.

Agreed! And adding to this, regardless of if they're actually a kid or not, your opponent is still another person! Them being rude and disrespectful to you doesn't mean you should do the same. It certainly won't encourage them to act any differently.

I would not call HearthStone a kids game, nor would I call say, Grand Theft Auto an adults game. They're just games.
That's fine, but you are going to be using terminology that most people won't. Just being a "kids game" doesn't mean adults can't play it, nor does it mean that there isn't enough depth for adults to play at a much higher level.
But most people would generally be fine with an 8-year-old playing some Hearthstone. Less for GTA.

"Hmmm, this Brawl could easily go nuts right out of the gate . . . " was my thought before my first opponent's first play netted them Astral Communion.

Oh my soul was crushed a long time ago. So really I feel I spent that time well. If only I saved that chat log, you would have seen that this was not a 10 year old, nor was it someone that wasn't deserving off a little off the shelf humor.
You guys didn't mature in the same environment I did. Your and my 'humor' are more then likely, vastly different. Anyone who is in the military or has been will agree with this.
As 100% of the PA community can attest, I'm a genuinely nice person. I'm only a dick if someone is deserving of it.
So you all can climb down off those pedestals now!
There is no situation in any video game, ever, where someone "deserves" you being a dick to them.
You can find it hilarious to be an asshole to strangers all you want, but don't expect pats on the head when you brag about being a douche to someone in a video game.
Also I know loads of people who are current or former military and don't spend their time being dicks to strangers. Find a new excuse.

Well just because you determine the person you're being a jerk to deserves it doesn't me myself (or anyone else) has to agree with it. I don't care if we have different 'humor' I don't care if you're in the military or how many people think you're a good person. You spent a bunch of time being mean to a stranger on the internet because of a video game. That's a pretty shitty thing to do in my opinion. You don't have to agree (obviously) but at the same time you can't try to dismiss the feelings of the community because you feel your upbringing and sense of humor made what you did perfectly ok.

Also, whether or not that 100% claim was true in the past, it isn't true now.
Recounting a story in which you behave like a silly goose is one thing.
Then claiming that you're actually a really nice person, as everybody here can attest, and not a silly goose at all without a hint of irony is another.
Then defensively claiming that your silly gooseness is just a product of your specific environment, and that nobody here could understand without recognizing the contradiction with the previous claim is yet another.
Then blanket telling people in the community that you cite as knowing that you're really a really nice person, even though your humour is purely a product of your environment and that nobody else will understand it, that they can get off their high horses when they don't agree that you're a really nice person is still yet another.
At some point, you've got to stop digging (i.e. insulting the community of people you want desperately to think you're a nice person, even though they supposedly all already know that you're a nice person) because you're eventually just going to hit magma.

Kibler is playing this Kazakus mage and it seems to work pretty well. I'm really surprised, I would have thought singleton decks would be pretty dead in the water without Reno.

I prefer killing with kindness. Saying things that are ever so thinly polite, but clearly not intended as such.

Yeah, the age of the people playing at any given time is a lot lower than adult.
Agreed! And adding to this, regardless of if they're actually a kid or not, your opponent is still another person! Them being rude and disrespectful to you doesn't mean you should do the same. It certainly won't encourage them to act any differently.
Noz has yet to let me down when I play him against Quest Rogue.

Naw, it's explicit in the name of the genre. CCG--Children's Card Game.
So.
I don't know if you're joking or not. That's not actually what CCG stands for, you know, right? :P

It's not? I thought after CCGs kids moved up to TCGs (Teen's Card Games).

Sometimes a little salt can make the difference in my dinner or lunch meals.
Anyway, at the end of the day, the overall Penny Arcade mantra always fits: Don't be a dick.

Not sure if it's ladder viable but I'm testing mid range with one or two big hitters (on top of highmanes) like cotw and/or king krush.
Playing crush is so damn cathartic.
