>this is acceptable
Blizzard has royally fucked up. Removing the ONLY viable counter to Warlock has let it run free in pretty much all forms. It's arguably worse than Shamanstone since even Midrange Shaman still had soft counters. This is Rank 6 Wild right now.

>This is Rank 6 Wild right now.
How I'm in wild rank 4 atm and its like 12 paladins in a row

It's okay user, just switch to an anti-lock deck and you'll see how you won't get any other warlocks for the next 10 games

fucking this
>keeps getting buttfucked by burn/secret mages as Cubelock
>make a secret mage
>do not see a single lock for at least 10 games

>que into casual with Discolock so my friend can spectate a win for quest
>matched against cubelock
>still win

Paladins are EZ mode in wild. All I have to do is stick ramp, spreading plague, armor gain, Malfurion DK, removal like swipe, wrath and spellstone, and UI in my deck and I could easily reach legend by farming paladins alone. A shame that the rewards suck ass and farming paladins isn't really that fun.

>Warrior dead man's hands on turn 3 with like 9 cards in his hand
>"Ah, you got me" turn 6

Are these the Rank 5 gatekeepers everyone keeps praising?

god i hate the cancer priest deck

"Cancer" is redundant in your sentence user.

Post yfw Priest will be shit forever once rotation hits

maybe have a defensive penalty, like half or 1/4th damage done when attacked

>half
>1/4th
>in Hearthstone
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

>Rank 5
>Trying out new decks and homebrews
>Netdecklets spamming emotes as they pilot their Tier 1 decks and make such riveting plays as T4 Call to Arms or T8 Twisting Nether
>Watch them highlight relatively unexpected cards trying to play around them
I even had some Spiteful Priest player add me to rage even though he won because I guess making him think about a play outside of 'me play biggest green card and win' made him upset. Probably because I played a buffadin list with Shimmering Courser that he couldn't drag Mind Control over.

HAHA

Paying full mana in 2018 lmao

just naturalize

>This is a normal rank 15 game nowadays

I got like 6 friends into HS and they all quit within a week or two becsuse of this bullshit. I made an account to get Mrgl and checked out ranked and it's literally all netdecks down at rank 20. Reminds me of when I stopped playing for half a year and came back during Un'Goro on the first day and was only playing against people with the preorder card back and golden quests and legendaries below rank 20 and full decks of new cards from 20-15. I think only whales and people who joined early enough to accumulate enough cards over time are left in this game.

what do you expect, only whales still play this garbage
everyone else just watches whales play on stream so they don't have to deal with that bullshit themselves

>WANTING to deal with bullshit forever
>>>>>>>>>>>wild

this desu.
every time i think about picking the game back up, i remember all of the netdecks i have to play against whilst playing sub-optimal netdecks myself, since i don't have enough cards.

Of the 4 friends I referred during the Morgl scam only 1 has remained and he plays arena exclusively, and today, after a year of playing the only "deck" he can afford is aggro Druid.

>dusting your cards for a fraction of their value because Blizzard says you're not allowed to have fun with them anymore
lmao @ ur life

When I first started playing (early TGT) I was able to build my first coherent deck during my first month. It was Mech Mage, a deck that required exclusively commons and rares, maybe Naxxramas if you really wanted Scientists (optional tho). It's ridicolous how much more expensive the game got over time.

I don't dust them because I can still use them for brawls, adventures and doing shitty quests in rank 20 wild, but every year I can't wait for the rotation to happen. Two years ago I danced on secret paladin grave, last year I danced on Troggolem and Justicar grave, this year I will dance on Barnes and everything Priest grave.

How poor are you fags $200 a year for the only game you need is nothing

I'd rather shove that money up my ass than give it to Brode.

this isn't the only game i need though

As a wild player it's really quite funny to hear this. Mysterious challenger and tunnel trogg are totally fine in this format, they don't have any ridiculous rng attached to them and are strong but not overpowered. Barnes though, this is where we draw the line. Ridiculously overpowered, game-changing rng, and gives some decks 20%+ higher chance to win. Wild was fine before this little shit was played.

I don't understand the hate for Justicar though, she was a top-tier waifu.

Threadly reminder that Rexxar still hasn't been fixed

It's easy to spend someone else's money on vidya when you're on NEETbux. Everyone else would rather spend what they earn on stuff better than a flashy casino simulator.

It needs an overhaul so we can pick beasts that cost 5+ mana too, I still want to King Krush + Young Dragonhawk combo.

Threadly reminder that they had someone on payroll literally write out every Rexxar combination instead of coding it to combine card text under different conditions, preventing any Beast above 5 mana or any Beast printed in the future to ever be offered.

If you have a full time job paying for Hearthstone cards is chump change. Maybe change careers

It's gambling, which I find to be a massive waste of money. I work part time but I'd rather buy a whole game I can play fully than spend my dollars gambling on packs, not getting what I wanted and needing to spend more to get more packs to get the shiny flashy good card that gets replaced by a shinier card 3 months later that requires more gambling to unpack. I started playing early enough that I don't have to constantly buy packs to keep up otherwise I would've quit ages ago.

Justicar turned every game into a slog, and CW mirrors were decided on who dropped Justicar first and who had better Elise RNG.

>Justicar turned every game into a slog
Only in control mirrors, and if you are playing control then why are you complaining about long games?? Also it's more balanced than deal 3 damage gain 3 life hero power.
>CW mirrors were decided...
Almost all mirror matches in hearthstone are toxic, that's a really weak argument.

REALLY REAALLLY hating this game läds

Play MtG arena

Gul'dan doesn't count since the last two expansions have been pure Warlock fanservice. The overheal was the problem tough.
I hated facing CW and I couldn't wait for Justicar to gtfo. But I hate playing versus control in general so I may be biased.

Fair enough. I played a fair amount of freeze mage back then and always dreaded seeing warrior. I would pretty much concede if I saw armorsmith on 2. I also enjoyed playing control warr so it wasn't like I hated the deck though.

never ever lucky :(

Go fuck yourself you ungrateful twat

>wandering monster gives hunter a cloaked huntress
>immediately lose
funny stories

>Same thing happened to me
>Sweating hard
>He didn't had any secret in hand
Wew...

>warlock so busy jerking off with cubes that he doesn't realize he's dead to my board
it's remarkable that so many stupid people had enough dust to make these decks

Control players are not the brightest

but i'm a control player

You'd be surprised, some of the dumbest people in this game have the costliest decks, wallet warrior is a great example, you could tell who actually knew their shit with that deck and who saw it on hearthpwn and crafted away.

How in the fuck is mage supposed to counter warlock?
They just outheal mages burn every time.

>playing elemental mage
>lose to that one hunter that's running flares
why did secret mage have to ruin secrets for everyone

I like the idea. Don't know how you'd balance it properly though. It's an immense upside on the offense but an immense downside on the defense. You want the ranged creatures to be big enough that they can survive until the turn when they get to attack, but at the same time the offensive side of the mechanic (which is the exciting part) encourages creatures with high power and low toughness.

Casual 11/18 for six mana.

>I find to be a massive waste of money
No one's forcing you to pay or play.

There isnt a single enjoyable deck to play as or against.
Why in the fuck am I still playing this game.
Every match makes me want to kys myself

how the fuck is it fair for a priest to steal your win condition and use it against you

What’s under the radar /hsg/?

just listen to yourself
nobody spends $200 a year on a single video game. How do you rationalize that?

It's shieldbearer hour right now, come back later.

That's probably my yearly games budget, I own a Switch and a PC and bought Overwatch, skins, Hearthstone, Zelda, Mario, damn I sound like such a piece of shit soyboy, sigh... I just really wanted to get the supposedly best games.

You shall not pass!
Payback time.

I'm sorry about overwatch and hearthstone but you did alright with your switch. Zelda and Mario are both very good games

What if you made it some sort of negative taunt effect? IE, it cannot be attacked while other nonranged/nonstealth creatures are in play.

All hail cubelock.

>nobody
user there are many people who spend easily that amount per month on shitty mobile game microtransactions

>TFW you played fatigue warrior in the Justicar meta.
>TFW you roped anyone who emoted anything other than hello during the first turn, and then played 3 rounds of facehunter in the time it took to complete half your fatigue game.

*facehunter on your alt account.

hey guys rate this new priest card i came up with
4 mana 4/5, if you're holding a dragon destroy the enemy hero

an true hero

Stories to tell

It was honestly great. I'd play while waiting between classes (that semesters schedule was totally fucked), and it consistently took me 20+ days to reach legend because my games averaged half an hour in length.

5-legend actually went faster than 10-5 because at that rank the people running face decks were intelligent enough to realize that sure, they MIGHT win against me, but more likely than not they'd loose, and loose 40 minutes of time in the process, meaning it was faster to just conceded and go play 5 more rounds against someone else.

>post a blog about past rotation and year
>0 new information
Brode's gotta be enjoying this, absolutely sadist

How?

how?

tortollan forager duh

Tortollan forager, shieldbearers.

>implying that was extremely obvious

To be fair they may not have ever seen Solia being played

literally the only card in his deck that can give it to him, did you think the warlock gave him one somehow?

>only 1 thing in the deck that can give him solia
Yes, it was obvious, shieldbearer-kun.

>use firelands portal
>get a 2/2 or a 3/3 80% of the time
it's not fair...

Are Mages removed forever already?

See ‘first strike’ in Magic for a more balanced version of this. When attacking, it deals damage before it takes damage. When defending, it acts as normal.

You faggots should get the self-bomb one whenever you faggots topdeck your faggotty Firelands Portal, you faggots, you faggot. Faggot.

Objection. Opponent could have played Kabal Courier, and he chose Spellslinger. He then played Spellslinger, giving the Druid a copy of Unstable Portal. The portal gives druid Inkmaster Solia, which he then plays with no duplicates in his deck, giving him a 0 cost UI.

This is hearthstone, anything can happen.

Why are people upset with mages more than priest?
>Created from shadow visions
>Created from Netherspite historian
>Created from Drakonid Operator
>Steals your best card
>Gets his best AOE
>Drops Ysera

>tfw 60 more mage wins and I'll never have to touch this travesty of a class again.

Overruled. Unstable portal reduces the cost of minions by 3. The druid spent 7 mana but you can see in the history that he played no other cards.

Because they are caged priest fags while didn't highroll their cancer decks and got their ass ravaged by a mage.
