Yes.
Leeyor is less tanky but also less situational.
Unlike with Doomguard you can summon and buff him with 2 POs and deal a whooping 16 burst damage.
>>143995114
Losing to reno? Just kill them before turn 6
Losing to freeze mage? Play warrior
LOL thanks my friend what would i do without you
ill go play the direct counter to zoo which in turn loses to every other deck making it perfect for laddering! :)

It's nice and all but you're wasting several cards that all can be removed with 1 removal.

>>143996121
Hunter is easily
It's stuck going face and nothing else because of it's hero power and lack of draw.
Priest also they're scared to give it control tools like warrior has because it could become too goodlmao. Instead of giving them good cards themselves they give them cards to steal from your opponent making them the most hated class

No. Opposite. You arent counter controlling any minions. You just armor up and take 40+ damage to the face.
>tfw have ice block and have reno in hand, but my spellslinger gave my opponent a curse of rafaam
>>144002969
Miracle's burst isn't that high though, so if you have more than 30 life and kill shit when they play it (conceal notwithstanding) don't they just run themselves out of resources trying to make a dent in your hp?
Seriously how is it humanly possible to beat warrior. If you play anything it gets executed or shield slammer. If you play a lot of stuff it gets brawled. If you don't play obviously you lose.
>>144003226
I should say, it's not high enough to do more than 30 off an empty board.
Predictions?
>>144003289
Thats what makes it so balanced though
>>144003289
hearthstone is so fundamentally flawed that the most reliable way to win is to run warrior, play 30 defensive cards and let fatigue kill the opponent.

Is this the worst designed card in the Classic set?
>>144003226
Considering they are going to be hitting you with +5 spell damage, even 4 of them are doing a bonus 20 damage, so they will hit you with a minimum of 36 damage from 2 eviscerates and the shadow strikes.

>>144007480
The buff should be that we are able to pick what cards to steal
Shamans are consistently the biggest BMers in the game. I wonder what the correlation is.
>>144006917
You cut out armor smiths for Amani berserker? And it's working?
>>144007480
Something like pic related would be a lot less bullshit than Entomb imo.
>>144008720
Priests are consistently the biggest losers in the game. I wonder what the correlation is.
t. not even a shaman player
>>144008486
That would mean letting them be able to see all the cards in their opponents hand. I guess discover wouldn't be that bad
>>144008950
They're the weakest class, dum dum
>>144008720
Literally the next game, what is wrong with these children?
>>144008486
So basically they should just straight airlift black mana mechanics from MtG? Seeing opponent's hand, -/- counters, full board wipes.
>>144008839
But it's the only card that lets priests win any control v control matchup. Losing lightbomb fucked the class way harder than blizz really anticipated.
>>144008727
in tempo warrior. i see very little use in extra armor. im not shieldslamming. im not turtling for a good brawl. plus the fact berserkers get to 5/x after getting hurt makes trading up extremely easy.
>tfw you took down an innervated dark arrokoa by using a taskmaster on your beserker
>tfw patron will rotate out
>>144009958
It's a damn shame that such core cards will rotate out rather than being added to classic. But we'll always have wild, right? ...right???
>>144009657
Priest in Wild is actually amazing, and it's solely because of Lightbomb.

>Warriors will always have brawl in standard

Blizzard design 101
>>144008720
>>144009591
Shamans and zooshitters go for whatever is the strongest and fastest deck at the time as they do not have the patience or maturity to process planning out your plays a few turns ahead in their ADHD addled brains. Before standard it was secret paladin, combo druid, etc. Same people - different decks.
>>144010168
Fuck, what video was this from again? I remember it being great.

This was easy, I'm a fucking warlock master
>>144008720
It's not shaman, it's simply "the most overpowered and brainless deck currently in the game" players. Those guys were all secret paladins last month, and when shaman will be nerfed/rotated out they will become whatever overpowered and simple class there'll be.
>>144010681

Brode and his team are retarded for nerfing it this hard. Even if you play control rogue, you should not include it and accept it that the class has no reliable board control aside from spell power+FoN.

Whoever decided keeper of uldaman should be a common card definitely never played any arena, screw him. Blizzard not giving any fuck about arena balance really remind me about WoW arena balance where it was obvious you were considered a second zone citizen compared to PvE or even battlegrounds, even though they kept saying it wasn't the case. Only a few changes would help, but they still don't even want to bother. Well I don't care, I play mainly constructed now, but still, blizzard never changes.
>>144015845
Blizzard approved N'Zoth Hunter. About to switch to standard braindead Shaman I think, lost 2 more games.
>>144016928
It does kind of irk me that people (not just Blizzard) act like Arena is a goofy, casual mode and is more luck than skill based and that constructed is the only mode that "matters". Arena is just as skill-based as constructed, it just takes a different skillset and both should be taken equally as seriously.
>>144016928
>Blizzard not giving any fuck about arena balance
They want to break it so less people can grind it. The more broken cards exist and the more luck based arena is, the better for Actiblizz.
>>144017279
>Arena is just as skill-based as constructed
Skill used to matter more from my experience. You could get out of tight situations with right plays more often than now.
>>144017125
You could try tempo warrior or removing N'zoth and just play a more optimal midrange hunter.
Have I been out of the loop on something?
I logged into quest for some warlock wins, played zoo.
So far I've lost three in a row to fucking cthun lock builds, all three of which have been wildly different. Did some streamer make this shit happen? I mean it's pretty strong. but kind of odd that it does so well against normal zoo.
This is how it works. Lower your winrate, RNG is more forgiving and gives you the right cards at the right time. Win lots of games and RNG goes from neutral to penalizing you while doing reverse to your opponent depending on his win rate. If your MMR rate is 60% and your chance of getting the right card to counter opponents hand would be at 40% each turn, same goes for your RNG cards. While your opponent win rate is at lets say 40%, he gets higher chance of getting right cards around 60%. Right cards means washing your opponent at every turn in face value of your working hand. Simple math here.
If your win rate goes too high. You get opponents with near perfect draws and can pull easy combos while you struggle to get the right draws. As added bonus, MM matches your deck with a hard counter decks so that you reevaluate your deck often. In other terms, buy more packs to get more cards and build new decks to counter the deck which you lost to. It's a vicious cycle of reorganizing decks and Blizzard matching you with exact counter of your deck depending if you won too many games or not. This is a way for Blizzard to balance matches, has nothing to do with skill, it's all giving the illusion of "worthy challenge" since there is no way of gauging skill (there is little to none), it has to match games in a balance of chance between someone who was too lucky, too successful with his deck or too unlucky. This why everything in this game like every other Blizzard game is heavily dependant on servers and little is done on client side. One is security, the other is rigged RNG. This is exactly why there are no stats in this game, Blizzard doesn't want its players to figure out the mechanics of MM and tilting games by controlling RNG. For any professional Esport player, this should have been a red flag from the start.

No it doesn't. Consturcted requires you to make intelligent plays and built a deck wisely. Arena requires you to make plays and build a deck based on the random cards the game gives you to choose from.
While there is skill in drafting arena. The baseline level of skill is lower due to randomness. A great arena drafter stuck with hunter is going to loose to the noob with paladin, tyrion, rag, and three light in the darkness.
Constructed levels the playing field in access to cards, therefor theres a higher skill cap in deck building (and understanding the deck) than the randomness of arena.

Bloodlust is a thing of the past, old man.

You undoubtedly have to have one of the most extraordinary minds of the entire human history to come up with something so truly mindboggingly unique. Most of us go through our entire lives without coming up with anything that has even one billionth of the creativity that your idea represents. Even getting to reply to this thread is greater honor than I will ever deserve.

Just dust your normal one you pleb.
People would kill for a golden VC

Mages in general should look into suicide. Fucking cucks with their freezy spells and roping me after they finished their turns.

Do you really need the dust for anything right now? Just keep the golden until you want to craft something.

>>144018479
There are rare outliers, but the overwhelming majority of arena drafts have about the same power level if drafted by a strong player. One of the strengths of arena is also knowing what classes are good-- why would anyone ever be "stuck" with Hunter? Even if your options are the three worst classes, the third worst is usually at least okay in most metas.
>>143993837
there is no god, needed 1 game to get rank 10 and get an extra card from my chest. Instead i got 20 defeats being topdecked in at least 12 of them.
>>144018894

Have you tried building s new deck?
>>143993837

>>144018312
My opponents are just godly lucky then. Because I couldn't keep shit on the board.
Typically Disciple and C'thuns chosen would trade highly, plus the value of Beckoner and Disciple meant the early game was lost. If I maintained board control It was Shadowflame / Spreading Madness / Hellfire / Demonwrath to clear my side again. So now I'm hitting my power more often and if I drop a Giant or Doomgaurd they respond with Twisting Nether or Siphon Soul.
I also saw a lot of Brann Combos like with earthseer for health recovery.
There were no misplays on my part, it was typical zoo strategy. Make the trades you can, otherwise hit face, don't over extend and leave some drops in hand to respond to board clear. But they had response for everything, and like I said the decks were very different. I almost beat the guy that was running spreading madness because of spreading madness, but by turn nine I had an empty hand and he dropped twisting nether and I had like 6 health.

>Brann Bronzebeard, a proper noun is renamed in another language
>>144018071
I do that as well, but people usually say something like well played. And they don't really play a million cards before doing that. I usually go right at the start of the turn unless I have some rng card that could potentially save me.

Midrange shaman and midrange hunter, they're pretty solid with 70% winrate on otherdays but today... In about 12-15 i needed a turn alive to win.
>>144019427
What rank is this at?
Also doomguard builds are not where you want to be on zoo at the moment.
Found the easiest way to win this kind of matchup is otk them after you hit away a tiny bit of life.
Leeroy into a combination of soulfire and power overwhelming should get you there.
Holy shit 3 legendaries in arena
got offered neptulon 2 times, kinda sad I didn't go for it after drafting the everyfin
can I take her to 12-0?
I wanna be like Kripp
post loot
>>144019787
How can you lose to midrange shaman? Are facing lots of zoo and tempo mages?
post your 505 dust hearthstone general
>>144020439
Yep literally faced only mages and warlocks and one hunter.
o bby golden memeform
>>144019019
Yeah but that's my point. even shitty classes can bow to the rng gods and build amazing decks. There was a dude here a couple days ago that went 11-3 to hunter as his last game. The hunter drafted 3 Call of the Wilds. Most decks don't even get three epics, much less the option to choose what is arguably the strongest epic for their class three fucking times.
The power level of cards is hugely variant, combine that with the already insane variance of just shuffling the deck and drawing the right cards and arena becomes lower a skill level environment. I can't count the number of arena games where both players are just top decking, thats a zero skill environment. Even if you drafted a very strong deck if you're drawing your one, two, and three mana drops and the opponent is drawing his turn seven, eight, and nine heavies then you're likely loosing. Even if you draw the board clear you expertly drafted, the game got to a point where you had a 1 in 15 chance of drawing the damn thing.
Skill in this game is a twofold measure, one is how you build a deck to respond to the environment (the standard meta, the arena meta whatever), two is how you respond to the board position and options available to you. Both standard and arena can get into zero skill topdecking matches, but standard preserves the ability to plan a deck. There's still the randomness of draws and the rng elements of the game itself, but arena can fuck you on card options so skill is less of a factor even if it is a different kind of skill to draft vs. construct.
>>144020635
I mean all my friends that play hearthstone agree that I'm the most unlucky one but this shit was intense.
>Vanish Shaman's board
>It doesn't matter because all his minions cost nothing even with the "overload" mechanic and he refills his entire board as if nothing happened
Nice double zero cost 5/5 taunt minions.
So much skill.
>>144019837
Right before ten, I fell from eleven with a few stars to twelve because of those matches and one tempo warrior.
Can it be worse? At least I got some dust I guess.
I'll keep the taskmaster
>>144020947
Not him, but you make some interesting points.
Just have to add though. I think that some constructed players can learn from arena, where they can't just throw out their board clears. They learn proper trading and tempo. Not the silly trading where they just throw their shit into your shit and play something else to maintain initiative without applying more pressure in situations where they could get away with it.

Play a midrange deck and grind them down with your sick curve.
>>144006304
That's the point. Zoo aims to set a low curve with high synergy, throw the board in a death grip and buff and trade their tokens up into anything you play on curve while snowballing an advantage you can't come back from.
Boardclears v. Zoo honestly aren't the best way to kill it though: chunky taunts and sticky deathrattles are hard for them to clear in a non-silence meta.
>>144012868
If you think that, you've never had to play a game against Malygos Freeze.
>>144015282
>how do you play control rogue
You don't. The exit of Antique Healbot means you're entirely dependant on Reno draw to keep you alive. I dicked around with a Reno Rogue deck pre-WoTOG and the Brann-Healbot combo was critical, basically a 2nd (or 3rd, if Shadowstep) Reno.
>>144017921
Mill Rogue is a gimmick deck. Yes you aim to win through fatigue but you do it by acceleration, not by exhausting your opponent's threats.
>>144018478
Keep that card. Literally one of the coolest golden legendaries in the game.
KEEP IIIIIIIITTTTT
>>144021090
All I can say is work on your placement of units and work out when you can and can't extend.
Zoo can go 50/50 with most decks in the meta bar freeze mage and control priest so don't blame it on luck or bad draws.
Don't be fooled by a lot of the sheep on here that think zoo is just another aggro shaman deck that just hits the face.
>>144004149
Look at this shit. 1/4 chance for the Brawl to do fuck all, and it lands, and I win. Horrible card.
>>144021090
Yeah i'm in the same situation 11 with 2 stars and a win streak to 12 with no stars in an hour, i'm furious but what can you do.
That cardback is fcking sick

Van roleplayer is a pretty cool dude, keep him.

>>144021431
Oh yeah, it's a very different game.
I like both, but I also recognize that when I draft three rares and 27 commons, I'm going to have to work very hard just to get my 3-4 wins and break even.
I recognize that the environment is very random and can still enjoy it. I don't get the people that pretend that it's less random or that randomness is the same as fairness. Is that just ego talking trying to justify wins and losses like Kripp, or what?
At face value it's a more random environment, and randomness is opposiste to skill. Chess vs. Parcheesi, skill vs. luck, there's a line between the two and standard is a little bit closer to chess than arena is, though the whole game is closer to parcheesi than most would care to admit.
>>144022449

Do you prefer the meta as it is today or as it was with Mysterio and the Angry Trees?

There are some Hunter lists making use of it.
But they're Hunter lists.
