Would Patron/C'thun Warrior counter other Thuns?

Because you can win with no thought at all just innervate fatties and drop cthun to finish them off your enemy has to make all the choices with your way way way above curve fatties.

>mfw the only legend i got from packs was the slithere
atleast i crafted me the twins i like them, nzoth is good also

Are iceblock, alex or tony necessary for tempo mage and other strong mages decks sans frozen ? Theyre on my crafting list but id like to play a mage deck with what i have.

When's the best time to play Yogg'Saron?

What I mean is if I have minions on board and so does my opponent, what's the best course of action before playing Yogg? Do I trade my board into my opponent's minions assuming mine will die anyways? If not, is it better to attack face or wait until after Yogg to attack hoping for favorable buffs on my minions? Is it worth playing Yogg when I have a board advantage or should I wait for a disadvantage so I don't risk losing my board?

Basically I'm asking which one is best on average.

>he doesn't know what timmy means

Any of you fuccbois bought a hero? I got Medivh since I always end up crawling back to Mage anyway and I like the card back.

His scream is also hilarious when I lose.

>hua HAA HWAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I can pretty much just disenchant my old cards right?
They're not gonna go back to naxx etc right?

I know who you are.

That wasn't meant to be a reply. Posting from phone is hard

We don't know.
They may reprint shit far in the future, but whether old shit would be playable when they reprint it is anyone's guess

Deathrattle rogue is cancer

I'm beating them more than 50% of the time with Evolution Shaman

I crafted a Xaril after the pity timer got wasted on Boogeymonster.

No regrets.

not seen this card once in other 50 games

FREEZE MAGE MORE LIKE FREEWIN MAGE

>tfw sandworm off ram rangler against shayshay

das it mane.

Your going to end up wanting to play wild some time when you want a new meta.

fucking druid does it again

just remove the class please

GUYS GUYS ROGUE NZOTH WILL BE VIABLE GUYS ITS GONNA BE SO SICK

Ram Wrangler is so good now that Infested Wolf exists

I haven't even seen anyone play a secret except one match where it was easy to play around because they can only put up one at a time manually.

I still have one on standby if I ever reach the higher ranks where I'm sure you Freeze Mages are shitting it up with Ice Block though.

we need more zeriyah nudes!
someone trick her into sending you some

but there're no zeriyah nudes friendo!
that grill is some pornstar

>implying
I only come back to get to rank 20 sometimes, dont need that wild shit

Yea they either draw well or don't the pilot dosent matter too much

Holy fuck have you all turned into fucbois during the time I took a break. I come back, throw together a basic priest deck with some of the free OG cards, and around turn 4 (turn 2 for some matches), you fuckers concede when your C meme cards failed to boost the big eye. Go and play a slot machine if all you want is to hit the 20 dmg jackpot, free legendary is a mistake.

corrupted nat pagle

>Draft a deck before old gods
>now getting completely shit on by huge neutral minions

shhh

I'm smacking around C'thun druids because they still have no good removal against a full board of deathrattle minions I can refill the next turn. Good luck trying to make a 16 random damage battlecry count in this scenario.

>C'thun Druid
Hang yourself

EU bro here, just got on playing, acquired 5 leggos with my 54 packsincluding both that poison creating one for rogue and the summon all deathrattle minions one - so I decided to go deathrattle rogue

Deathrattle rogue is absolutely insane and fun to play - that poison legendary is underrated as fuck when you abuse its abilities and copy them with raptor.

Right now I'm having great fun shitting on every C'thun deck but I'm getting rekt hard by aggro shamans every now and then - biggest issue with deathrattle rogue is no more sludge (the tauren replacement is shit) and lack of healing cards

Blizzard needs to add a "Deathrattle - Restore x health to your hero" card for deathrattle rogue to be perfect

>mfw Cthuns battlecry destroys my Sylvanas and steals cthun

He's a fucking war golem.

What spells are you casting for free? Shadowflame with Cho as the fodder? I can't think of any spells that are going to have a stellar interaction with him. You gonna spend seven mana and eight health to drop Twisting Nether? Or four health on a Hellfire that smacks you for three? He's not even a demon so his non-interaction with all of those lock cards is a non-starter.

It could be quite the tempo change in the right situation, but your board position would have to be close and honestly the current selection of lock spells don't offer much. Maybe the next adventure and set will give him something to shine with, but not right now.

same famboy

It's pretty meh right now because there's only 1 card it works well with (syphon) but it has future potential.

>TROGGS RULE

>EU bro here, just got on playing, acquired 5 leggos with my 54 packsi

>i got 1 lego in 47 packs (zerus)

just fucking KILL ME

I got 1500 gold, I need advice on how to spend it. Do I get the second and third wing of Explorer, or 15 Old gods packs, or 10 arena runs? Have in mind that I did 2 arena runs yesterday and only managed 2 wins.

Siphon soul I think is the best.

>tfw no Lea stream

Still too random. Turn 5 is pivot turn for power. Getting a 1/1 or some other garbage beast is game losing if they drop a real threat. Its also a dead card a lot of times and rarely worth having in the deck.

>N'zoth paladin with Tirion, Reno, Hoarders and sylvanas
By the holy light!

not for another month my man

Deathrattle rogue is really fucking good and fun to play.
It might get turned around once the new meta gets more established, but rogue doesn't look dead at all.

gude haul

>that poison legendary is underrated as fuck when you abuse its abilities and copy them with raptor.
Dude is even good outside deathrattle decks, I love him.

Why is C'Thun so boring? Holy shit, kill yourself, Ben Brode.
There is nothing exciting about playing him, and even less to be excited about playing against it.

Just so fuicking boring. Every C'Thun deck is the same and they all will be the same until next set.
Control without C'Thun is unplayable now, because every C'Thun deck has burst now.
So sad. What a sad way to kill a game - with new content, and a format that was supposed to save it.

Also something I've found is I reckon that the legendary that creates two taunt minions if your Cthun has something like 10 attack is criminally overrated.

Perhaps it's my bias on stomping them with deathrattle rogue easily but playing with them on a Cthun deck I also feel they just aren't that good and break my tempo

Yes, that's the point. There's only one good spell to synergize with him. Other spells are marginal at best. The card could be average to good in other classes, but in Warlock it has minimal synergy (unless you Renounce darkness).

The design of the card (sacrifices health for tempo and a 7/7 body) implies it's only good with removal/board clear, and Warlock's board clears hurt his own boards so having the 7/7 body just depreciates its value so much.

I don't feel like C'thun should be built around since it's hard to stall enough to draw him. He should help the deck win overall.

He's kind of like a second pyroblast in my tempo mage deck.

yeah boi

it killed five minions (3 totems) before hitting face for 8.

what do you guys think of my deck?

Hearthstone is boring and you're just now realizing it.

In my limited experience with him, if you have him cast enough spells, the outcome will be similar most of the time

Both boards will be cleared, you may discard your hand, you'll draw a bunch of cards and both players will receive damage

I stop trading when I know I'll be able to play yogg soon and I try to get as much face damage as possible

I'm a rank 10 shitter though so I'll let you know when my oppponents stop overextending into Yogg because that makes it a lot easier

Try N'zoth decks, friend. Popping free tirion and card draw wins games.

*divine shield noises*

Nzoth huntard with highmanes and the new wolf is retardedly strong. If you cast 1 infest on couple minions its almost impossible to lose if you drop noz. Princess huhu is insane with all too.

Playing Patron without Deaths Bite is painful lads

Nice forced meta

So, anons. What's your excuse for not playing dragon/C'thun priest?

It's great here in rank 19

>multiple good people winning with mid range aggro decks and eating these decks like brunch.
>bad players get a coping mechanism of lol cthun borked.
Well done blizzard

First card game?

mfw playing with or against C'Thun decks.

This is the next cancer
I just climbed 10 ranks in the space of about an hour with a gimped version.

AYYYY wrecking everyone with deathrattle rogue is more fun than I imagined

Post dick

I want to see what deathrattle cards you got in there

why do i keep getting PARROTS from this ram wrangler
fuck you blizzard it was supposed to be removed from standard
does murloc knight spawn murkeye?

must be nice at rank 15

>10 ranks in an hour
Literally impossible unless your games are taking like 5 minutes each.

1. Use as many spells as possible
2. Try to empty your hand first. There are a LOT of card draws.
3. Clear enemy minions as much as possible, Yogg isn't just about "clearing the board" or "20 fireballs to the face", he's more likely winning you the game by giving you random heals, filling your entire hand with cards, giving a bunch of random secrets and buffing your random minions

Just play the value game, spam removal until you feel comfortable to play Yogg then dump him and win by attrition.

>freezing trap in value deck
>no finley
>no cult master
What are you doing, idiot.

deathrattle rogue is dominating in ranks 1-3 here

Im at legend and somehow no one realized that C'thun decks are too slow

>2xSW:D
>2xEntomb
>Rend Blackhand

Play your fatties, I dare you

>control players

post penis

Who else here /drew the shortest of sticks/?

95 fucking packs

Yeah it's only for a few days because blizz removed the quests you got them from.
Then they added the quests again till May 2nd I think.

cucked

Go make a deathrattle hunter with Nzoth and Huehue. It's fucking great

you play him, then you play dr. boom
what you think I play standard?
demon handlock with this guy is hilarious

I'd argue paladin is better with the spawned taunt
I am but a lowly scrub from 10 rank. My deck runs reno, ragna light lord, tuskar jousters, reno, naga sea waifu + rafaam, abomination and harvest golem on top of obviously good N'zoth cards. Thenclassic pala control shit like pyro equality. Oh, and two +1/+1 discovery cards.
>tfw you get Tirion #2 from augmented discovery card

freezing trap is good I dont know what you're on about.

i might put finley in.

cult master is too much tech I have enough card draw.

is zeriyah under that white blanket blowing him?
his face says it all

>Try to play Paladin in standard
>Get crushed over and over again

Well I was right. Paladin confirmed dead class.

It's funny how people shit on aggro as "no thought" when honestly it's the harder play style. You have to make educated guesses about what to commit to the board, the kind of elimination you are up against, and sometimes take serious gambles to put your opponent in a desperate situation.

It's control that is usually the no-brainer. Every control strategy is "draw lots of cards so I have the perfect solution in hand". You're not taking risks, you don't have to make guesses about your opponents strategy because everything you are doing is a response.

Whether it's a warrior sitting behind 15 armor until he can safely board alex or a freeze mage sitting back until he draws Antonidas, or just your typical priest aiming to steal or kill everything he can; these are not choice intensive strategies. They are really safe strategies, which is why so many people drift towards control near the end of seasons and meta changes.

I just think it's so ironic that aggro has this no-brainer reputation with you people. Sure when things are going great and the opponent doesn't have responses it becomes a steam roll, but the opponent usually DOES have a response. And the clock for an aggro player is far more real than it is for mid-range or control, there's a lot of risk/reward decision making going on in a typical match.

I'm not shitting on control either, it's a perfectly viable strategy. But I do know I'm on the edge of my seat a lot less when I play it. That's the passive nature of it, you either have your responses or you don't.
