    I got a golden mukkla from a spectate daily, is that inspire: random spell legendary still the best card to craft for midrange decks?

    You know the internet: Pics or it didn't happen.

    I didn't take a picture of the pack itself, it also had an epic in it but I forgot which.

    I'm 100% dusting this, I have a boom but no Sylvanas so unless something shows itself to be the Dr. Boom of TGT in 2-3 weeks it's classic legendary time.

    I would wait and think really hard about that if I were you. Other experiences may vary, but personally Sylvanas has been one of my most disappointing crafts.

    What decks are you running her in? She's the absolute queen of midrange and control decks.

    None right now.

    My most played classes are Warlock (Zoo, Malylock) and Rogue (oil). Other decks I run include patron warrior, midrange or face hunter, tempo mage, and dragon mage.

    I don't enjoy playing control warrior or priest, and I don't really have the cards for druid (no AoL's) or paladin (no quartermaster, no LoH). I've found her to be ok but not necessary in handlock. Sure Sylvanas+shadowflame that clears board and steals Rag/Ysera is great, but I've been able to pull that off like once or twice ever.

    I also try to make my own decks but she's been underwhelming in those. She doesn't help at all against aggro and against control most of the time she just gets silenced or polymorph/hexed, and even when she doesn't it's rare that she forces great trades. I think maybe sometimes it's better not to play her so the opponent will hold a silence they never use. I don't know, maybe I'm using her wrong. Can you (anyone) help me learn about what decks she's best in and how to use her best? Specific gamestate examples that come up frequently would be helpful.

    Play sylvanas in a deck where you have 2 other cards you would rather her get polymorphed than.

    People putting down the voidcrusher arent thinking about how warlocks have lots of 1/1 imps around. drop this after an implosion and you are trading with very good odds.

    The same scenario happened to me when I was playing Dragon Mage. Tree of Life can win you games in Sustain (Control) and Mill decks. Its not something I would rely on in Constructed though.

    On the brightside, I can spin my tech of southsea deckhands into just making pirate hunter

    the issue with that is it'll just be bad face hunter (just like pirate rogue is worse oil rogue and pirate warrior is worse face warrior)

    I wish I were half as good with other classes as I am with Priest and Druid, I understand them so much better. Took them to Rank 4/4star, thought I'd change it up a little and switched to Patron/Lock and plummeted to Rank 8.

    I really want to make a Pirate Deck. Or a Murlock deck. But without any real class cards to back them up, I feel like there are better decks to be using.

    Tree of Life is a great card when you don't have to put it in your deck.

    you'll learn, though, and then you'll have that many more decks at your disposal for navigating your way up through the ranks

    Even with the class cards there are better decks. Sure every so often you get a perfect draw of murlocs and they don't draw an early answer and you win but mostly it just fails like priest divine spirit inner fire nonsense. Annoying when its against you, but never seems to work for you.

    Really for murlocs you don't even need class cards, just some knife jugglers. and the warleader.

    Well, that came around quite nicely.

    Shittiest possible hand against Zoolock yet I somehow managed to just about keep clearing the board with some good card draw.

    Mr. T never arrived, but going into my turn 9 (when I was determined going to drop my Patron in) he dropped two Voidwalkers.

    You poor poor baby, you just didn't see it coming.

    By the end of it, his board was empty, mine was 6 Patrons and a Warsong.

    Bwahaha.

    The thing about games like Hearthstone is that there is always a "better" or "best" option, but that is usually about efficiency rather than actual enjoyment. You should experiment and play whatever you like because not only is that part of learning the game, it's also fun!

    Besides, there are some decent pirates in this set. That 2/1 rogue card that gives your weapon +1 is great.

    I played Murlock a bit 2 seasons ago because some legend guy was playing it. If you curve well you'll kill a lot of people on turn 5 and sometimes even 4. If you don't hit your 1,2,3 drops or your opponent starts fast (either removal or stuff like Minibot/Chow), then you're pretty screwed.

    I know this shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but after a close/well played game, I feel pretty annoyed that the other player doesn't respond with a well played (or the slightly less good "thank you"). I know this is pretty irrational and that plenty of people auto-squelch because of bad past experiences, but it still kinda rubs me the wrong way.

    And that this just happened when I lost in arena playing for my 12th win, so, overall, still happy though. :)

    I always well played before lethal. It's just habit now.

    I do get a bit salty when people say "sorry" though, because they clearly don't mean it. You're just rubbing salt in the RNG wound.

    I pretty much reserve "sorry" as a response to "oops." I can't think of another situation where it won't come across as bitchy.

    This is why I run Kezan Mystic in my Midrange Druid. Holy fuck, such a huge swing card.

    It's only good when you're seeing a lot of Mages/Hunters in your current rank, but oh my god is it worth running in that scenario. I've been bouncing this back and forth with an Acidic Swamp Ooze depending on what I'm seeing the most of. Definitely a great tech card.

    Aheeheehee

    Playing Ramp Druid vs. Freeze Mage. I have a gross early game, but still manage to get him down to 2. Unfortunately, he drops Antonidus, and gets off a few cheap spells. Next turn he Alexstraza's me.

    I have to use my combo to take down his legendaries. Things aren't looking good. I don't have any options, and he's got Ice Block up (I'd already gone through two Barriers).

    He Fireballs me down to 1. It's all over next turn.

    Then he drops Doomsayer on an empty board.

    I draw Boom.

    Ice Block doesn't activate on your own turn.

    I win.

    Yeah I was watching too, I cracked up when he said that.

    Also Realz was hanging out in his stream, I asked him why Ball of Spiders cost 6 mana.

    He said cause it was too good at 5 mana.

    It's a fair point!

    I was actually there the first night he had text-to-speech going and the whole Booty Bay Bodyguard thing started. That was a great night.

    Also yeah, I can see Ball of Spiders being too good at five mana. Just think about it! Then you could buzzard+ball at 10 mana! The card advantage!

    This minion is always injured.

    It's a 2-drop that can always be healed for cards or used to summon a lightwarden. It's also amusing.
