...

play anything else

What exactly are the rules for decks used in the /hsg/ tournament? Can I use any deck in any match, as long as it doesn't use banned the banned card?

ok WOT is our guy

You need to win a match with every of your not-banned decks during bo5.

your opponent bans one of your decks but you can play with any of the other three unless you've won with it before that match

If your deck contains no banned cards and your oponnent doesn't ban your deck, everything is allowed.

play miracle rogue

now this is a classic priest game lmao

if you're rooting for the shaman you have no soul

>shaman is so fucking broken it can outvalue a reno priest lategame

You LITERALLY cant make this shit up

i would root for satan himself if he was against anduin desu

VALUE SHAMAN

Paladin Hero Power is broken vs Control decks.

it was the 477 azure drake and jade lightning that won it though

had literally nothing to do with the hero power and everything about top decking 2 477s in 3 turns and then top decking flame tongue to kill the bruiser , while wot top decked no SW:Ds

I was just trying to meme because that's what the casters were saying.

I apologize for this mistake.

Amnesiasc is so nauseatingly lucky. And this retard whines about others having good rng.

>he didn't mute them
wew

he's "playing the percentages" so it's skill dumbass

Lol this retard interview bit.

"I am thinking linearly on the microdecision level withing each individual game instead of thinking in the broad theoretical sense"

Literally the reddit way of saying "I try to make the best decision each individual turn"

we literally just so that other guiy play pirate warrior and lose two immediate games becuase of a bad starting hand

PIRATE BTFO

I entered the tournament, how are we submitting dicklists? I want to meme it up and get the fuck out.

>literally held kazakus to give better % on taunt revive
>casters
>hurr lucky
REEEEEEEEE

who the fuck is this long haired faggot and how did he just come out of nowhere and start casting events

he's so fucking ugly, and his hair pisses me off god damn. someone needs to walk up behind this faggot and cut that disgusting ponytail off

Submit your ban, and once bans are annouced bring 4 different classes. If you violate the rules you play rematch with wisps and tinyfins.

Sottle's been there forever and he's always been an obnoxious fuck

No, it is indeed correct that paladin hero power is a nightmare for control decks.
But that alone isn't nowhere near enough to help you win against late game priest.

Sign-ups close on February 20th at 11:59pm EST, which is also 21 February at 4:59am GMT for the Yuros.

>pic related
Good to see you. Genuinely hope you have a nice time.

During submission, yes

Yeti was banned by the peanut gallery of /hsg/ and actually fucking mattered because DonCacturne brought three Basic Decks and had to swap out all the Chillwind Yetis in them.

You gotta bring in four of 'em, they gotta have no banned cards, they gotta be unique classes, and one of 'em is gonna get banned by your opponent for use in that particular series.

Break the rules, bring on the Wisps.

You aren't submitting decklists, you're submitting classes. First and foremost you must submit your cardban to the email listed in the OP.

How did Blizzard manage to turn one of the best cards in the game into cancer?
Brann + Kazakus
Brann + SECRETAGENT
Brann + Jade
all make me want to end my worthless life

They should cut off that disgusting pimple too. If I had a pimple like that Id soak a knife in vodka and cut it off. I had a small pimple on my nose that I removed like that np.

>You gotta bring in four of 'em, they gotta have no banned cards, they gotta be unique classes, and one of 'em is gonna get banned by your opponent for use in that particular series.

So when exactly are we supposed to put together the decks? Between 20-24?

Wot putting aggro in their place

I'm hunting for bans right now, and chances are you'll have all of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to submit your classes to me, as well as potentially some of Monday and Friday.

I'm aware it's a little strapped for time, but it is what it is.

is Wot our /NewGuy/ now?????

The baby boy lost to a girl.

looks like kibler shared some of the good stuff with frodan

Wait, so we're only submitting classes? No one knows (not even you) anyone else's decks before it starts? Also, are the banned cards only for the games you're playing, or is it a huge list that applies to everyone? If the former, can you play the same card you banned for the other player?

Sorry for being confused but I've never played in a HS tournament before.

>Wait, so we're only submitting classes? No one knows (not even you) anyone else's decks before it starts?
Bretty much. Been doing that for a while, going off the honor system, and it's worked out solidly desu.

>Also, are the banned cards only for the games you're playing, or is it a huge list that applies to everyone?
Huge list that applies to everyone. I'll make a good visual for the competitors of both EU and NA

>Sorry for being confused but I've never played in a HS tournament before.
Welcome to the fun and enjoy your experience.

Something I ought to mention is that THIS weekend will be the EU tourney, and the FOLLOWING weekend will be the NA tourney. I feel like that bit of information has gone under the radar for some reason.

if you are playing jade shaman against dragon priest, do you want the game to go to fatigue or not?

if you play shaman you need to look in the mirror and examine the meaning of your existence also kill yourself

idk

>Something I ought to mention is that THIS weekend will be the EU tourney, and the FOLLOWING weekend will be the NA tourney.

So EU is 24-26 and NA is 3-5?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm retarded.

>THIS weekend will be the EU tourney, and the FOLLOWING weekend will be the NA tourney
can we sign up for each server?

Yep.
Brann is biggest offender right now

only... a few.. weeks

Last couple of things I wanna touch base on before I forget;

>Cardbans
After reflecting on a few things, I've decided that the cardban deadline is February 21st at 2pm EST for the Yuro boys. This means that you d00ds get to take any un-taken cardban slots +2 I'm throwing your way for free.

>Competitor Portraits
Following the Signups deadline, I'll make a post that anons will reply to with images they want the various competitors to be represented with, except for klandri and Ary, as they are the very first /hsg/ Champions to return to the tournaments and I have something planned for them

Yes. I may have to cut a day a little short on time for the NA one because my father's birthday is that weekend.

If you got the balls, then go storm the halls yes

>Justicar
Now that is something i haven't seen in a long time.

What if I'm playing Evolve Shaman with moat lurkers and doppelgangsters?

>weeks
The rotations is in weeks !?

I though we were 2 months away.

I know right

Dead before it even got cycled out

could be

>sen'jin in tournament
>in 2017

>Justicar
>aids
Greetings, friend.

i haven't played hearthstone in like 2 months, can i see full decklists of the pros playing in the tournament right now anywhere?
why is frozen using that shitty 6 drop, what have i missed in the time i've been gone?

what is this post supposed to mean? do you think shaman is struggling against 6 mana 6/3?

>he doesn't know

>tfw trying to brew some meme decks for the tourney
>get matched against 6 Pirate Warriors and 4 Aggro Shamans in casual

f-fuck

Weeks? You wish. We won't be getting the rotation until like early april if were lucky.

The deck that wins against aggro Shaman but loses against every other Shaman.

why doesnt he use cyclopian horror instead? Its better in 99% of all situations in this meta, and the few times hes worse its in a matchup where the 1-2 attack doesnt matter.

another stupid question, are NA and EU bans separated? If they are, when is the deadline (also release date) for both of them?

>Reno Mage mirror

Riveting.

Spent my saved up gold on some Classic packs, hoping for some sweet Wild-transitioning draws.

You know the drill, boys.

juuust in time...

King Krush

Yes they are separated.

EU's cardban deadline is 21 February at 2pm EST (7pm GMT)

NA's cardban deadline is exactly a week later.

>GvG pack
?

>Not having an eternally unopened GvG pack for posterity

WIIIIIIIIINDS!

>tfw dusted half my leggos to get reno, brann and kaz

reeee

why would you lie

you're right. I did something much worse.

i bought a shit ton of packs

A different dragon avatar for now.
A staple neutral finisher for certain decks is a nice pick-up. Not sure how much fun I can have with this one though. It's definitely not going in the Casino, or maybe it will for a few games at least.

And don't forget to buy a TGT pack!

i just crafted this fuck like 2 weeks ago. do i disenchant

naaa hes too dope

Dude, Golden Jaraxxus makes your hero, hero power, AND hero power spawns golden. I say go for it!

>passing on golden INFERNO!
bruh

Keep the golden one, super sick pull

oh and golden weapon of course

yea jaraxxus is my favorite card in all of hearthstone but i am poor and 1600 dust is a lot. idk what to do, wish i was rich i guess

is this the shortest tournament ever

If you don't have Rag/Sylv yet and are interested in Wild, you might consider dusting him on the grounds that you're crafting those.

you keep the golden one you retard

If he was some shit legendary you'd never use then sure

But you don't dust golden fucking Jaraxxus man

Jesus fuck Kripp sounds like his life has been sucked out of him

Vegan health LUL. In all seriousness I hope he gets well soon.

what can replace azure drake in ramp druid? fucking lotus agent? azure drake will be sorely missed by all.

nothing as of right now. I wonder how many months its gonna take for blizzard to realize they have made a huge mistake banning azure drake.

maly rogue is super viable right now.

lunar visions. I know its not quite the same at all but if you need it for cycle its decent.

nah fuck az*re drake

only noobs ran azure drake in ramp druid

>People will have to make choices instead of clicking the auto-take
how can blizzard do this to us

Do we have to submit a card ban? I don't really give a shit frankly.

Bans are pointless since you'd have to ban everything to remove cancer.

its a good card because most midrange decks lack draw, not because its ohh so insannneee wooooooowwww. azure drake allows you to not be card starved by turn10 and just rely on lucky le topdick rag xDdd

>Bans are pointless since you'd have to ban everything to remove cancer.

Then put more card-draw in your deck? Adapt
Drake's utility just couldn't be matched. It had to go.
