    I didn't want to dick around with trying to race the Brawl on my slow phone, so I just went for it on PC and beat the timer on my first run. Yay for dust.

    Second golden class done! I'm pretty happy with shaman, there's a bunch of wild decks that are fun (and portal shaman in standard isn't too bad, either).

    Now, what class should I do next?

    Im playing that Wild Murloc list @Yilias posted in the last thread. I was missing Lotheb and some other card, so I added in a Spellbreaker and Leeroy.

    Yeah, that deck is nuts. Turn 3/4 Everyfin is Awesome or Megasaur crushes hard.

    Brazen Zealot is going to be a disgusting Odd Paladin card. Thank god it's a 2/1 and not a 1/2.

    Missed this earlier today, Wild VS Report #18.

    T1 is the usual suspects; Odd Rogue, Odd Paladin, Even Shaman, plus our newly buffed up friends Mech Hunter and Murloc Shaman.

    Cyclone is T3, due largely to getting rolled by the above decks.

    I think Yilias must have an entire Warren worth of rabbits' feet in his pockets. To be able to go that many games without getting slammed with terrible draws, or a nut draw opponent, or a mirror Bomb Hunter with all the answers, etc. is pretty nutso.

    Yes, I almost always just steal their lists.

    I also just lost my first game. Bomb Hunter mirror where we're both top decking and low, he's 8 damage off lethal so I leave the board up.
    Surprise, King Krush.

    just had a control warrior vs midrange hunter game where he played 4 dire frenzies, 3 landing on unleash the beast wyverns and 1 on misha, and i still won by clearing every turn until he had nothing left in fatigue

    I wonder if maybe the Paladin quest reward will be something along the lines of 'When you summon a 1 health minion give it Divine Shield'.

    Quest: Play six 1 health minions.
    Reward: Omega Galvadon
    (Immediately summons a 5/5 with Stealth and Rebirth)

    Anyhow, I tried using a bomb Hunter list. My results were mixed. I generally did well against Warriors and in the mirror, but Rogues best me up and Cyclone Mage ate my face. The latter might be lucky draws - one game had something like T2 Apprentice —> Coin —> Elemental Evocation —> Ray of Frost —> Ray of Frost —> Mirror Image —> Mana Cyclone —> Mirror Image —> Arcane Explosion —> “Well played” into Sea Giant on the following turn.

    But Bomb Warrior? It’s getting the job done. My favourite game this season was against a Priest. I had a Brawl in my mulligan, and kept it. I let them burn through their deck, holding the Brawl all game. The first Nomi was dealt with on board and with Warpath. The second was with the Brawl I’d held all game. The third was pulling a 1/13 topdeck off to get my second Brawl. All of the rabbits gave their feet for that topdeck.

    Freeze Mage has also been really bad.

    But Token Druid, Murloc Shaman, Overload Shaman also seem like easy wins, so I guess it evens out.

    So I'm confused about the bees / overload memes.

    its always been my experiece that overload only triggers if you attack with your minion and fufill the overload requirement, not if they attack your overload minion with another minion that fufills the requiements.

    So why would it trigger?

    Overkill triggers on your turn only, not the opponent's. So them attacking into your stuff on their turn won't trigger it, but effects that make your stuff attack each other like Bees or Mass Hysteria will.

    bomb hunter is stupid confirmed.

    I wanted to golden my hunter, at 462 wins. I did't realise i had the VS bomb hunter deck complete so gave it a whirl.

    11- 4 i think from 15 to 10. ( i kept losing at the worst times, aborting like 3-4 streaks)

    ... why does this brawl count real time from when you start vs. time spent in-game?

    Just had an amazing run with Bombs and double Icy Sinister Black Hand of Rafaam, where the longest match was 6 turns (the last; Leeroy closer) but it took 15 hours according to the game.

    While we know what you mean, it's technically Overkill not Overload, but I digress.

    It works because Overkill activates on your turn when your minions kills something. The in-game text cites it as:

    Overkill
    Deal excess damage on your turn for a bonus.


    So it isn't tied to attacking, but dealing damage. Same result happens if you use a spell like Mass Hysteria. Because the Bees are attacking Linecracker on your turn, the Linecracker is actively dealing excess damage on your turn.

    Hope that helps clear things up a bit. It's Hearthstone though, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Maybe they're using the system clock again?


    A few years ago you could open your new expansion packs early by simply updating your PC clock to the launch date.

    Seems likely we'll see highlight videos of someone casting Plague of Murlocs and then getting a "surprise" 15 damage lethal because it crapped out 3 Bluegills, a Murloc Warleader, and an Oracle.

    This plus lightning storm is practically a one-side board wipe with pre-silence and graveyard ruining effects packed into it. 6 mana to wipe the opponent's board with no danger of deathrattles or reborn or next turn rez seems pretty freaking good.

    prior to this card being revealed, in my head, i was thinking,

    that shaman's Plague was either going to be a Mass Evolve, or a Mass Devolve

    and i see that they opted for the much more disgusting choice of the two

    holy FUCK that card is insane

    Shaman is only going to cast it in two situations: When they are aggro shaman facing a taunt (or empty opp board after attacking) and they have a board of 1/1 or weak murlocs. Or they are control shaman and they have a board damage spell/effect to follow up with after turning all your stuff into murlocs.
