What is with 4-Channers' obsession with the word "cuck." Its not even like being cuckolded is necessarily a bad thing in a societal context, ESPECIALLY if you are a White Male!!

No one reply to the bait.

Make Patron great again

cuck
you can't tell me what to do, I'm radical

What a coincidence, I too have a situation I hate losing against and whenever I play priest, I get to experience it over and over again; aggro decks.

They mindlessly vomit minions onto the board and crusade that "Hurr noing wen 2 traed is skil!" They're right, but that's only because knowing when to trade is true for every single class in the game and is a basic bit of knowledge you need to succeed. You know what sucks ass to lose to? Mindless aggro shaman/zoolock players who haven't had an intelligent thought come through their empty heads for years but win because they can flood the board with garbage and then trade up, which priest can't do. See, while I'm thinking "Hmm, should I entomb this sylvanas when he's going to play c'thun and gain tempo, or sacrifice one of my minions (Which I won't have since I can't get on the board anyways) and save it?" aggro players are thinking "DURR ME DID IT ME PLAY COUNCILMAN WIT FORBIDEN WRITUAAL, ME SO CLEVER!" like it's an achievement. Control decks require planning and prior knowledge of the opponent's deck, while aggro requires you to think, very lightly, on whether you should ram a 5/5 with power overwhelming into a 5/5 taunt.

I mean, I netdecked an aggro shaman deck and got 7 straight wins on ladder, why am I not considered one of the best hearthstone players ever? The answer, of course, is because aggro doesn't actually require a lot of thinking. So what's better, knowing you lost to someone who's been strategically plotting his moves against you 2 turns in advance, or the monkey playing aggro?

Maddox please just fuck off

Reminder that Zeriyah was an scort and did amateur porn before being Hearthstone community manager.

Also from the video her blowjob technique is pretty poor.

>friend beggs me to do my play a friend quest with him

>takes the gold
>ragequits and removes me from friends

Fucking faggot bitch. Only hsg gets the gold from now on.

Everyone moaned about Karazhan not having a new mechanic like Discover.

Well if you guys are so smart, what new mechanic would YOU add in the next expansion?

inb4 the dude with the positioning idea

>Blizzard made Purify 2 mana because testers were sometimes playing it as a 1 mana cycle

I don't get it, is Priest not allowed to have generally playable cards that can be conditionally quite good?

>tfw I'm a guy and can't just eat some pussy to get a job at Blizzard

Life sucks.

think flare

What does it feel like to get memed on by purify?

Patriarchy hurts men, too.
>pinkhaired whale.jpg

multitargeted spells
field cards

Old Flare actually say play for its purpose. Current flare has never been played seriously even in the most secret-heavy metas.

Flare is also literally always playable without downsides, whereas Purify requires a condition and can be downright detrimental unless you meet a more specific condition.

You could deliver them pizza

flavor text: ONLY QUADS CAN KILL THE ULTRA GIGANIGGER

trogg is actually not so bad, he occupies pretty much the same slot as mana wyrm

>field cards
This. So much potential.

Flare doesn't even get played in meme decks like Yogg Hunter. It's fucking pathetic.

I usually enjoy playing slower decks against aggro, they are the ones who have to proactivelly kill you before you slip out of their reach forever.

Why are you so butthurt about the fact that your opponent has to think less than you? Thats just a fact of card games. Decks arent equal in this.

>Current flare has never been played seriously even in the most secret-heavy metas.
That's mostly because facehunter was favored against secret paladin, and turn 6 secrets wouldn't do much against them.

the dumbest thing about purify is all the retards saying combo priest would run it for cycle if it was 1 mana

yeah, it'd be so good to have purify in hand with no board, or an acolyte / loot hoarder on the board, or with 2 mana and a novice engineer in hand (that you know won't survive until next turn, making purify a dead card again)

it'd literally be "1 mana, draw a card if you happen to have either a novice engineer or the 2/4 version on the board right now" - and people thought that'd be good enough for combo decks

1 mana cycle is bad for the game
blizzard wants you to play flare for its effect not its cycle, blizzard wants you to play purify for the silence not the cycle

Can someone please give me the current Rogue list? Or just a good Rogue list in general.

I'm running a single copy in Yogg Hunter. It's a cycle, good throwaway for Tracking and fuel for LnL, and comes in handy from time to time against miracle faggots, ice blocks, or when opponent's yogg brings out the Christmans tree.

Miracle Giants/Miracle Q.Adventurer Barnes/ Classic Miracle
all of those work well

Shredder wasn't OP, it's just that all other 4 drops are absolute shit.

The 4 mana slot is by far the weakest in the entire game.

They need to make some playable 4 drops.

That doesn't contradict what I said though. The most secret-heavy metas STILL didn't warrant playing 2 mana flare, which is a much better card and cycle than Purify is.

>the current Rogue list

I love it when shitters assume that there is some sort of standard, agreed upon perfect list for every deck archetype. And then they can't even fucking find it on the net and want help from others. How can you be too retarded to netdeck by yourself?

Do you feel better now user?

Why doesn't otk warrior run two faceless?

Why should it run two faceless?

because you cycle really fast and one more is just deadweight

>1 mana cycle is bad for the game
[citation needed]

>blizzard wants you to play flare for its effect not its cycle, blizzard wants you to play purify for the silence not the cycle
That's a lie. Flare is never played, for it's effect or otherwise. Similarly, Purify was balanced so that it would never be played at all. There is no deck or meta in which Purify is a viable card.

Why is it okay for Frost Bolt to be playable for damage or freeze, but Purify not for its hyper-situational effect or cycle?

>playing yogg druid against some random renolock, forever rank 3
>opponent plays shit like corruption and drain life
>turn 10 plays yogg, holy fires my face, cast charge on yogg and then blessed champion
>after the game, adds me to friendlist and whispers that my deck suck and I should play casual

what the actual fuck

Does blizzard acknowledge the existence of arena and the fact that literally only two classes are viable there because lmao best removal in the game haha

You don't understand, if you play Novice Engineer and a 1 mana Purify that would be like playing Arcane Intellect, getting a Wisp as one of your draws, and playing it! That would be completely broken!

>Why is it okay for Frost Bolt to be playable for damage or freeze, but Purify not for its hyper-situational effect or cycle?
not the user you responded to but cycle can be a lot more valuable than damage in many situations

Any thoughts on topdeck secret hunter?
The concept is you empty your hand with the new 3 drop,and then you play strong topdecks like 4 mana 7/7 quick shot ,maybe King Krush.

they nerfed flare for that very reason dipshit

Have you ever actually played Priest? Replacing a card in your deck with with a low/zero-value cycle when your goal is to outlast the opponent is an enormous cost.

Add in the fact that you actually have to cast the card to cycle it, and it's blatantly clear that even 1 mana Purify wouldn't see play in a lot of Priest decks.

If an invite from someone who won you accept, only pain will you find.

Because 2 mana flare is such a well-designed card that sees regular play right?

Priest would have played it in that meta though, it's only because it was in Hunter that it was unnecessary.

Charge

>"Hey this isn't very creative"
>"UHHH LETS SEE U DO BETTER SMART ONE ;)"

>mfw losing to the fucking basic shaman AI because he bursts me down from 30 because i left boulderfist + raid leader on the board
Jesus fucking christ I hate Rockbiter Weapon.

Cause I've lost a few games because of faceless being at the bottom of my deck.

It's bad enough that you HAVE to have only one thaurissan.

>1-2 with an awful deck
>go againt double swipe druid

how do people manage to even lose with these decks

What I don't understand is why Blizz is so opposed to combo priest. Combo decks already exist and though they don't like them, they're here to stay because Freeze mage ain't leaving, just going up n down.
Priest has no other viable decks aside from maybe a resurrect theme, so let us fucking have it.

going against a mage or rogue with a better deck/having shit mulligan vs someone playing perfect curve/being shit

>the worst class in the game by far would play a card from another class that class didn't find competitive
You don't fucking say?

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Just because you green text it with a funny picture, doesn't make it wrong.

Go on. Think of a new mechanic.

when the meme is so supreme it makes the Hunter concede

Except it is wrong. It's the same logic as telling someone to write a book when they criticize an author.

Do I craft 2 blood of the ancient one to make a whacky Barnes deck?

>wacky Barnes deck?
Don't do that.

Why not?
This game can't be taken serious anymore

I miss the time when I could play Shaman and not get called cancer

DOUBLE FLAMESTRIKE MAGE NOW FOR THE 1-3

HOLY FUCKING SHIT
THIS IS LITERALLY INCREDIBLE

SOMEBODY DRAFTED MAGE
GOT 2 FLAMESTRIKES, A FROST NOVA AND A PORTAL

AND MANAGED TO GO 1-2

>1 mana cycle is bad for the game
Ayy

what the hell was going through their heads there?
>oh GOSH i really hope players will want to play this card with its interesting new effect!
>let's add "draw a card" just to be sure it's good
>OH NO, it looks like people are playing this just to draw cards!
>let's nerf it by increasing the mana cost!

These cards are fundamentally cycle cards, like almost every card that says "X. Draw a card."
Some classes don't have any of them at all, since blizz doesn't want them to be able to cycle (eg shaman).

...

The sad part is that if Priest wasn't so fucking starved for draw they wouldn't need to be playing a bad 1 mana cycle in the first place.

Combo play is toxic, goy.
Now go play your yoggs for some sweet stories!

Pyro circle and northshire can draw plenty.

nobody plays that shit anymore above rank 17

I was just glad it wasn't another mage.

what day does the last wing open again?

Oh boy, a 3 card combo that lets me arcane intellect. Meanwhile most other classes will just win the game off of 3 cards they want.

I'm just saying, priest has draw
Plus many neutral draw cards

Do you think Freeze or Tempo mage would play Cleric Circle Pyro for draw if they had it?

>rank 7
>winning streak
Almost there.

What deck?

Hold me /hsg/, this may be the most broken card I've ever seen in a CCG.

>Want to play Rogue
>Don't have Preps

Fuck I wish that was in the game

Here.

I think Jaina is my waifu and the game knows anons.

In my last 6 arenas I've been given Jaina to choose all of them and mage was my most played class in WoW.

That should be 2 mana, then it would be alright

fucking broken, kys

Combo shouldn't even be considered a condition to be a 1-mana card.

Should be 1 mana do nothing, Combo: Draw a card

Would adding a 1/1 body to it make it OP?

Rogues wouldn't be so shit if this was actually still in the game.

They'd be cancerous

yes

Yesterday I dissenchanted all wild cards to get some standard staple legendaries. I still don't have LoE and Karazhan heroics finished. Do you think it's possible to do them just with standard cards?

Jesus christ why do i keep opening tentacles for arms

Literally me 2 weeks ago. I decided to craft both preps, and it really improved my rogue decks.

Plus, prep will always be in standard, so it's a good investment.
I don't regret spending those 800 dust, even if I'm a poorfag

Remember when Priest was good at healing?

Reminder we live in a world where Brode decided aggro shaman needs to have its only common weakness, which is zoo and similar token-vomiting decks, addressed.

yes, karazhan especially, it's a fucking joke

What cards will Hunter use to replace Toad, Elekk and Quick Shot once they cycle out? 3/2 Beast + benefit is a precious stat line to lose.

you can to karazhan with the fucking basic set

>Oh boy, a 3 card combo that lets me arcane intellect.

it's not a 3 card combo you priest shitter

it's actually a 4 card combo since you need another spell to proc pyro before you can circle kek

All measures need to be taken to stomp out zoo

I can't believe people thought this card would be bad.

>tfw i dont even play anymore i just get the wing gold from the play a friend quests
Thank you Brode ill never spend money on your shitty game

venturebeat.com/2016/08/23/blizzard-talks-crafting-hearthstones-karazhan-purify-anger-and-arenas-future/3/

>Brode: The portal mechanic is a new mechanic with Karazhan. With Karazhan, there are 45 new cards, and really 45 new mechanics.

What did Brode mean by this?
