    playing a variant of Wall Priest and farming bomb warriors at Standard ranks 20-15.
    why is literally everyone playing bomb warrior :/
    i'm 5-1 so far against them but the games always go long.
    is there any aggro in this format at all?!

    divine hymn and batterhead are both very good and doing serious work.
    i cut northshire clerics because they feel awful to rez, and instead have injured blademasters.

    Well I’m still not particularly happy with this game and don’t plan to spend money on it any time soon, but I’m glad the start of things are positive. I’ll continue to be ultra casual with this game because I don’t see a reason to play it another way.

    I’m thinking about just crafting a bunch of the new mage crap to hit 500, even though I’m like one win away. Or maybe I’ll just start assembling another class for it, I don’t really love any of the others. Maybe warlock.

    Honestly while I like a lot of the new direction the game is going, Mage got a lot of fun toys to play with in this expac and I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to play with them. The Big Boi Token Mage thing is pretty hot.

    since the meta i'm in now is literally bomb warrior mirrors over and over, archivist elysiana is great because she removes all the bombs in your deck

    your opponent will of course have the same idea

    All 3 of the hero replacement cards are likely safe crafts, with Boom being the safest of the 3. Warrior always has decks that play the long game, and Boom fits right into those decks. The hero power alone would make him worth it, but the mech rush aura is just a cherry on top.

    Blastmaster should still be solid, even if they do something like nerf bomb damage. More often than not it’s a 7-mana Onyxia, before you count any extra bomb damage.

    I believe you mean all four hero replacement because by a miracle Jaraxxus is back in the meta! There isn't a lot of 15 point burst in the meta and a 6/6 demon every turn lets you grind out slower decks.

    That’s what I was looking at. Basically hand mage with some of the elementals, the book for draw, a few secrets, and some big ass monsters

    I beat a Bomb Warrior as Thief Rogue after he put 7 bombs into my deck. Bombs aren't that much of an issue when you're healing for 8hp a swing and pilfered a Warpath for 5 free weapon charges.

    And just to get the icing on the top, a stole a Blackhowl Gunspire and Tess summoned it before unleashing the 5 Warpaths again. Not saying I shadowstepped her and did it again the next turn, but...

    There are some free packs coming from the Expansion quests...might suggest waiting on crafting Dr Boom until you’ve opened all the Boomsday packs.

    As is my custom, I went with Whizbang for the Brawlesium, and praise be to Yogg-Saron.

    2-1 so far.
    First game...Rogue v Rogue. Kinda sucks when the deck is made around stealing, but I won.

    Second game...Priest v Warlock. I guess it was the Deathrattle deck? I had crap draws, so I was never really in it.

    Third game, Mech Hunter v Warrior. Had good draws and this one was pretty easy.

    haha yeah I was playing thief rogue a bit earlier and it really beats up on bomb warrior; they start slow and then you wind up with twice as many cards in your deck as usual.

    Thief rogue still doesn't seem that great though; at least the variant I was using just didn't have enough early stuff unless I really drew nuts.

    I used most of the freebie rotation dust I got on crafting the rest of bomb warrior; it's most of what I liked about odd warrior and it has an actual win condition now!

    Oh wow. Playing handlock against thief rogue, I have control of the board and think I have things locked down when he casts sacrificial pact. I think I'm dead until I realize he blew up one of my demons. Hurray for super niche interactions being really unclear I guess

  • fortyforty Registered User regular
    Rotation time always increases the relative power and viability of the good Classic Legendaries (but this one in particular since so much OP shit has dropped out), which of course makes me sad that I'm still missing a lot of major ones.

    I use Hearthstone Deck Tracker. It has a deck tracker for your list and your opponent's including when they drew cards in hand and what secrets could be in play (secrets is a little buggy though, not 100% accurate) and does its own stat tracking and replay uploads. If you like VS there's also a plugin to contribute your replays to them.

    Went 6-3 in the brawl using midrange hunter.

    Played the first 8 games without ever even drawing zuljin once, and the last game when I finally got to play him, I managed to A) Kill Command myself with 7 minions on the board and B) Tracking->Draw Bomb twice in a row for self-lethal

    Awesome

    my last like six games were all either against other bomb warriors, or some sort of lackey/tempo type of rogue list. Might try that one out, it seems fun
