    Does it have to be 6 hours straight?

    Can I just put it in a tab for 6 hours and not actually watch it?

    Yes that counts.
    Or just leave it on overnight.

    How can we tell if we earned packs via this stream stuff?
    You get Twitch notifications like "You have 2 Saviors of Uldum Card Pack Drops for watching Hearthstone." When you login to Hearthstone your pack(s) pop up and say "you got a pack from outside the game" or something.

    hey someone please explain how Highlander Hunter is supposed to win games

    i'm getting run over by aggro and midrange decks

    what the fuck is this deck????????????

    You lose to aggro with a decent draw but you tend to shit on warrior and mage which are the popular ladder decks so it evens out

    I like using desert spear (6 pings for 3 mana) and looking for zilliax/subject 9 to stall

    I've been playing it to good effect. I think the key is careful and efficent use of all your cards (especially the secrets) to keep your opponents board clear while still being aggressive. I've had several very close games. Zephras has also saved me many times by giving me an Aoe to board clear same turn, or give me a second king krush to work with.

    Getting a rat trap out on the board as soon as you can is a good strat, especially against people trying to get quest completion. Spear is a good starting card, keep your 'discover a secret' card in hand until you can get the most of the randomness by looking for the secret you need, rather than just getting it in your hand. When you go up against a paladin or shaman, try to mulligan for zephras so you can potentially have an aoe, or board clear, or the shaman 'turn everything into murlocs' (better than Zephras eggs).

    Hmm, I’ve only opened 3 epics.

    2 of them are Tip the Scales.

    I have also pulled Making Mummies.

    I guess I should build a couple of Paladin decks.

    Love beating a lackey warlock who spammed the whole game. Highlander huntered him real good. I love playing Zul'jin and him filling my board with secrets like that old paladin deck.

    I know it's the wrong move but when someone pulls old Reno in an Arena game I just concede. Especially if they're playing Ropestone.

    I'd really love to see consta-ropers deal with even shorter turn times until they can manage to take their turn without roping.

    I...i rope, esp on mobile. Not to aggrevate anyone i'm just not very good and need the time to think and be cautious about my fat dumb fingers not screwing me over.

    Don't skillshame me man.


    Edit: not on early turns ofc, but by turn 6/7 there is a good chance i will need some rope. I do make it a goal to hit the end turn button as soon as i can though.

    Sorry, I should clarify: These people rope on every. single. turn. And it is not a matter of making choices. The choices they make is often to make an extremely obvious play, like, say, Northshire Cleric. But they gotta rope, and rope all the way to the end, to play it. They might throw some emotes out there in the meanwhile, for extra measure.

    Like, I play the game when I poop, I can't be pooping for 30 minutes.

    You just have to kill all their stuff, because if you leave anything alive it gets DS/IFed and if they are quest completes it faster

    I was playing a Shaman who had completed their quest; they put down Brightwing but sometimes just because you have a Legendary, doesn’t mean you should play it.

    For example, Millhouse against a Mage (I had two Pyroblasts in hand).

    @Shadowhope, what's your opinion on the Reno Even Shaman people are throwing around?
    yjA8+lA9qlA+alAwAA.png

    I think it's supposed to have a better Secret Mage matchup than the typical lists, which is probably all that matters when they're like 35%+ of the meta.

    I think it's supposed to have a better Secret Mage matchup than the typical lists, which is probably all that matters when they're like 35%+ of the meta.

    1. The overall list feels a little haphazard - I think that it has a lot of room for refinement.

    2. I would sort of like to see more four health minions to make the new secret and Explosive Runes a little less powerful. I'm tempted to throw in some things like Burly Rockjaw Trogg, Half-Time Scavenger, Jinyu Waterspeaker, Kobald Monk, Regeneratin' Thug, Thunderhead, etc. As to what to cut, the Zap-o-Matic is probably a cut for that reason, and I think that the Hex isn't really in accordance with the expected game plan.

    3. Totemic Surge is SPICY.

    4. While I hate Reno Jackson on principle and would delete him from Hearthstone if I could, I definitely agree that he's one of the best cards to fight off the new Secret Mage overlords.

    5. I feel like it needs another weapon removal card.

    6. Call me crazy, but: Kazakus could be worth adding.

    7. I wonder if an Even Warrior might be a better choice to fight off Secret Mage. Frightened Flunky, Restless Mummy, Zephrys, Bone Wraith, Armored Goon, Khartut Defender, and maybe even Tomb Warden and Armagedillo seem like potential additions to the deck to consider. A deck built along those lines would probably do well against most aggro and face strategies, but it'd likely lose horribly to the various other Highlander decks and Big Priest.

    It would be crazy to add Kazakus to a shaman deck, considering it's a Priest/Mage/Warlock card.

    Fireguard Destroyer being run is a blast from the past.
