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?
Aiden Gutierrez
ok WOT is our guy
Nathan Taylor
You need to win a match with every of your not-banned decks during bo5.
Jaxon Barnes
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
Gavin Rodriguez
If your deck contains no banned cards and your oponnent doesn't ban your deck, everything is allowed.
Carson Mitchell
play miracle rogue
John Edwards
now this is a classic priest game lmao
Hudson Brooks
if you're rooting for the shaman you have no soul
Jayden Lewis
>shaman is so fucking broken it can outvalue a reno priest lategame
You LITERALLY cant make this shit up
Logan Green
i would root for satan himself if he was against anduin desu
Jose Brooks
VALUE SHAMAN
Gabriel Carter
Paladin Hero Power is broken vs Control decks.
Joseph Hill
it was the 477 azure drake and jade lightning that won it though
Xavier Peterson
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
Henry Clark
I was just trying to meme because that's what the casters were saying.
I apologize for this mistake.
Jayden Anderson
Amnesiasc is so nauseatingly lucky. And this retard whines about others having good rng.
Wyatt Wood
>he didn't mute them wew
Michael Rogers
he's "playing the percentages" so it's skill dumbass
Nathan Johnson
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"
Hudson Martinez
we literally just so that other guiy play pirate warrior and lose two immediate games becuase of a bad starting hand
Ian Evans
PIRATE BTFO
Camden Brown
I entered the tournament, how are we submitting dicklists? I want to meme it up and get the fuck out.
Christian Martinez
>literally held kazakus to give better % on taunt revive >casters >hurr lucky REEEEEEEEE
Jordan Gutierrez
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
Adrian Turner
Submit your ban, and once bans are annouced bring 4 different classes. If you violate the rules you play rematch with wisps and tinyfins.
Evan Reyes
Sottle's been there forever and he's always been an obnoxious fuck
Nathaniel Cruz
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.
David Jenkins
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.
Gabriel Bailey
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
Blake Moore
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.
Carson Taylor
>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?
Logan Baker
Wot putting aggro in their place
Nathaniel Evans
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.
Brody Lee
is Wot our /NewGuy/ now?????
Adrian Stewart
The baby boy lost to a girl.
Hunter Bailey
looks like kibler shared some of the good stuff with frodan
Matthew Jones
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.
Daniel Collins
>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.
Adam Cooper
if you are playing jade shaman against dragon priest, do you want the game to go to fatigue or not?
Owen Sanchez
if you play shaman you need to look in the mirror and examine the meaning of your existence also kill yourself
Noah Wright
idk
Chase Johnson
>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.
Aiden Howard
>THIS weekend will be the EU tourney, and the FOLLOWING weekend will be the NA tourney can we sign up for each server?
Adrian Morales
Yep. Brann is biggest offender right now
Angel Bailey
only... a few.. weeks
Ryan Gray
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
Xavier Morales
>Justicar Now that is something i haven't seen in a long time.
David Evans
What if I'm playing Evolve Shaman with moat lurkers and doppelgangsters?
Levi Gonzalez
>weeks The rotations is in weeks !?
I though we were 2 months away.
Jaxson Rogers
I know right
Dead before it even got cycled out
Isaac Baker
could be
Jacob Kelly
>sen'jin in tournament >in 2017
Christopher Myers
>Justicar >aids Greetings, friend.
Aaron Mitchell
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?
Colton Turner
what is this post supposed to mean? do you think shaman is struggling against 6 mana 6/3?
Samuel Ward
>he doesn't know
Josiah Gutierrez
>tfw trying to brew some meme decks for the tourney >get matched against 6 Pirate Warriors and 4 Aggro Shamans in casual
f-fuck
Anthony Nelson
Weeks? You wish. We won't be getting the rotation until like early april if were lucky.
Jacob Barnes
The deck that wins against aggro Shaman but loses against every other Shaman.
Asher Scott
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.
Nicholas Sanchez
another stupid question, are NA and EU bans separated? If they are, when is the deadline (also release date) for both of them?
Hunter Reyes
>Reno Mage mirror
Riveting.
Daniel Bennett
Spent my saved up gold on some Classic packs, hoping for some sweet Wild-transitioning draws.
You know the drill, boys.
Daniel Davis
juuust in time...
Kayden Morgan
King Krush
Ethan Wilson
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.
Aiden Sullivan
>GvG pack ?
Jaxon Green
>Not having an eternally unopened GvG pack for posterity
Isaiah Adams
WIIIIIIIIINDS!
Oliver Lee
>tfw dusted half my leggos to get reno, brann and kaz
reeee
Jace Foster
why would you lie
Zachary Lee
you're right. I did something much worse.
i bought a shit ton of packs
Gabriel Johnson
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!
Tyler Sanchez
i just crafted this fuck like 2 weeks ago. do i disenchant
Mason White
naaa hes too dope
Isaac Johnson
Dude, Golden Jaraxxus makes your hero, hero power, AND hero power spawns golden. I say go for it!
Parker Gomez
>passing on golden INFERNO! bruh
Nolan Williams
Keep the golden one, super sick pull
Henry Lewis
oh and golden weapon of course
Asher Nguyen
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
Caleb Powell
is this the shortest tournament ever
Aaron Young
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.
Nathan Green
you keep the golden one you retard
Chase Moore
If he was some shit legendary you'd never use then sure
But you don't dust golden fucking Jaraxxus man
Julian Ramirez
Jesus fuck Kripp sounds like his life has been sucked out of him
Oliver Perez
Vegan health LUL. In all seriousness I hope he gets well soon.
Henry Nelson
what can replace azure drake in ramp druid? fucking lotus agent? azure drake will be sorely missed by all.
Ryan Ward
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.
Aiden Carter
maly rogue is super viable right now.
Isaac Green
lunar visions. I know its not quite the same at all but if you need it for cycle its decent.
Xavier Roberts
nah fuck az*re drake
Brayden Hughes
only noobs ran azure drake in ramp druid
Jason Price
>People will have to make choices instead of clicking the auto-take how can blizzard do this to us
Jacob Williams
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.
Dylan Moore
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
Evan Bailey
>Bans are pointless since you'd have to ban everything to remove cancer.
Alexander Lopez
Then put more card-draw in your deck? Adapt Drake's utility just couldn't be matched. It had to go.
