reminder that if you don't watch the hsg tourney that's pretty disappointing because it's a fun community thing and i think you will regret it later

will do brother, queuing it now. have a fun meme list in return, it also gets surprising win rates.

reminder that for the first expansion you are gonna have gold and dust and it seems alright
for the next expansion you won't have had 8 months to save up and you will run into trouble
by the time the third expansion comes around you will be sad because you're so low on currency

make sure you realize this right now so you can fight for change!

Neat, will try it. Heres some tip. Barnes is get tempo by himself turn 3-4 but fucking great if you got shadowstep/toxin set up. Brann+shadowcaster is great for dropping tiny branns beside high value stuff even if you dont double battlecry so you can bait removal. Possibly my favorite thing to do, sylv + shadow strike, they never see it coming. The deck is super top heavy, so mull aggressively for low drops.

>>168686801
Of which 3 people are from accounting and HR who play custom brawls with Brode.

>>168686801

At least it's an even number, easier to balance :^)

I'll ask the tourney guy when I see him. I was wondering if it would be the case. Add the battle.net account, I got asked to submit my card ban yesterday but I gotta read up on the conquest format a little bit.

If I clarified some stuff for myself I'll try to update the OP if I get to post it.

There's nothing fun about it, it's just a good card. I doo agree that Team5 hates fun though since the few fun cards this set like Dirty Rat or Weasel Tunneler are all epic which is bullshit.

Can't wait until only shit cards are left in classic.

Do you feel bad when you play against an obvious new player who only has some classic cards?

>>168689496
A 5 cost 4/4 cantrip would be enough but even then, brode would fucking stab a child.

>>168689405

>4 mana 7/7 wars flashback.

>>168689647
How many azure drakes do you run in pirate warrior?

>>168689547
Thalnos is fine since the 2 mana slot is incredibly competitive. I reckon their logic is "you can replace Thalnos with a Kobold Geomancer or a Loot Hoarder so he's fine" or something along those lines.

I find it amusing that Leeroy is untouched, but when you think about it he's really just an upgraded Reckless Rocketeer with a more narrow use as a finisher.

>>168689686
2 in the Dragon version
and 1 in Aggro shaman

"every deck ever" is a hyperbole obviously but it's not that far off reality

So basically theres no point to craft ANY classic lego right now because its doomed to become wild?

>>168689769
You can craft anything other than Sylvanas and Rag.

>>168689769
sure why not

if y'all can't read then neither can i

>>168689714
Leeroy was nerfed already, at 6 mana it would be hot garbage - that's why they decided to nerf PO instead

I guess they could make it spawn more welps but that wouldn't matter that much

>>168689769
>>168689827
if you craft Sylvanas or Rag you'll get a refund when Hall of Fame happens

>>168689647
>including aggro
maybe don't give aggro a shit ton of burn spells and even a fucking weapons that synergizes with it???

>>168689769
If you don't have gold sylv and rag, craft them, if you do listen to >>168689827
Oh by the way
There also rotating out conceal, PO, and ice lance

>>168689895
Balancing Leeroy by adding more whelps would be like balancing Patches by increasing his mana cost

Is anyone else autistically bothered by the fact that Mage, Rogue and Warlock are now down by three classic class cards?

I feel they should've removed one common from each set just to make it even despite it being pointless.

>>168689959

That's literally the ones left worth crafting really.

>>168690049
Freeze Mage and Reno Mage are dying next set so nobody's going to play it anymore anyway.

>>168690035
What would they even rotate out for preist and paladin?

>>168690125
Freeze mage will find a way. They always do

What if they just rotated part of the classic set to wild and the other part to basic?

>>168690125
And Handlock probably, the current meta makes him get too punched for it to recover without Reno. But lets see, my bet its that we'll get Aggro hunter back anyway.

>>168690187
They lost a large source of burst and can't just run exodia

>>168689932
I'm not sure if I agree that aggro shouldn't have a lot of burn, Spirit Claw is cancer tho

>>168690031
hence the "that wouldn't matter much"

>>168690193
Too many Jews for that to happen

>>168690181
put mind control back to 8 mana then rotate it

>>168690181
>we felt that northshire cleric was used into too many decks and must be rotated out, along with truesilver. Shaman however is getting a reduced cost truesilver just cause

>>168690275
Sounds like something Ben would do

>>168690181
I don't care, they can just do something nobody uses like Blessing of Wisdom and Lightspawn or Temple Enforcer.

The problem in messing with the classic set is that so many of the cards are absolutely vital to the whole "class identity" thing they're always going on about.

>>168690287
>Shaman however is getting a reduced cost truesilver just cause
Make it 3 mana Overload (1) because Overload is extremely penalizing mechanic and shaman class theme needs more support :^)

>>168690035
>Take away balanced cards from everyone else to be 'fair'
Fuck that

>>168690465

>brode: these cards are too balanced, thats why we removed them
>they didnt even try a nerf this time

Blade of C'thun might be my favourite card

>>168690353
Fuck off, I like Blessing of Wisdom
Great on something early in a bubble, or to put it on an enemy minion to deter it from attacking. At 1 mana, its hard to waste

>>168690401
Don't for get an extra durability and 2 extra attack for spell power

>>168690542
Brode only knows how to sledgehammer nerf. Let those cards pass on with their dignity intact.

>>168690465
Ice Lance is hardly balanced and as even Ben Brode pointed out it doesn't let Team5 make spell copy and spellpower cards for mage because of cheap burst potential.
Conceal is a fun and interactive card.
I don't agree on PO. It's flavorful and makes sense in combos with deathrattles or Shadowflame. It's the last nail in the coffin of future zoo decks. It should've been nerfed for fast and combo decks and remain in Classic set.

It's rotating with PO, in wild you'll get a lot more cards, mostly trash.

If I put Explorers hat on a minion and it dies does N'zoth summons it back?

How long until Abyssal Enforcer is removed from arena? This shit is fucking busted. It probably won't ever be removed because it's single handedly responsible for Warlock viability.

>>168696265
No, N'zoth only summons cards that have Deathrattle as their default card text (which is why he will still resummon Deathrattles that have been silenced).

Is there any point in signing up for the /hsg/ tournament if I'm a very mediocre player?

I would like to bring some janky meme decks but I'm like a rank 13 shitter at best. Is there a fee to join or is it free? Will the tourney be all Tier S shit like aggro shaman pirate warrior and jade druid or will people be using "off-meta" decks?

>>168696667
>Is there any point in signing up for the /hsg/ tournament if I'm a very mediocre player?
yes /hsg/ is /shieldbearergeneral/ so rank 13 is not as bad as you might think

>Is there a fee to join or is it free?
of course it's free

>Will the tourney be all Tier S shit like aggro shaman pirate warrior and jade druid
card bans (not revealed yet) will ensure aggro shaman and pirate warrior won't be played
jade druid is a bad deck but the shieldbearers will probably ban it anyway
generally at least a third-half of the tournament will be meme decks

>nerf fun and interactive things by rotating P.O, Ice Lance and Conceal

Welp I guess infinite Jade Golem cycle is on the menu, boys. The best way to beat Jade was to kill it before they get the Fandral/Auctioneer/Idol spam via aggro or combo combo. Control will never match the value of 1 mana 11/11, 12/12, 13/13 that lets Druid invalidate Fatigue burn damage. Someone even asked on Reddit if they tested how strong Druid will be post-nerfs/rotation and the Team 5 dude said he "predicts" it'll be okay because they actually didn't test anything.

What the fuck is Team 5 doing?

>>168696805

and post screenshot no matter your rank
I've posted screens from r500 legend and rank 17 and most ranks in between and nobody seems to care either way

>>168696951
You're probably right. Since we're going full jew with three expansions I wouldn't be surprised if they print at least a dozen Epic and Legendary quality combo/aggro tools so you'll be forced to blow your gold load and cash monies on packs to either gamble on unpacking them or dusting everything to craft them.

Personally I can't wait for Hunter to get crazy shit like a 2 mana "discover a card in your deck, put two copies in your hand and discard the others" or "if you have a beast, give all beasts in your hand +3/+3".

>>168696943
Remember where you are my man. 90% of the appeal of /vg/ is being able to shitpost without some cocksucking mod dickriders telling you to say nice things to everyone.

People will shit on people for not being high enough legend even if they are legend at all.

Do you BM people who don't play around anything in arena? On one hand they provide wins more often. On the other hand their "me go face" mentality triggers me and I feel the need to rope and emote the shit out of them.

thanks.

first round and I already have a good feeling about this

btw how many Abyssal Enforcers should I draft if I get offered more than one? it's a Common card so it's probably pretty frequently offered right?

>>168696943
There were two guys that posted a bit a while back that seemed to get top 100 often. Pythagoras and someone else who I forget. I think the most vocal people on /hsg/ are the rank 15 scrubs who are mad that their opponents sometimes play decks that counter theirs.

>>168697976

Draft literally every one.

>>168697976
All of them.
Highly unlikely you will be offered more than 4.

>>168690939

You're free in 20 minutes.

I LITERALLY GOT OFFERED NONE this game is bullshit. I did get offered Blastcrystal 6 times though.

>>168698174
top 100 is pretty awesome. also lol.

Should I go for legend boys? I'm rank 2 at the moment but it's pretty uninspiring.

>>168696943
You will either get made fun of for not being legend, or being "dumpster tier" legend.

Being rank 25 through 1 means nothing anymore. If someone wants to shit on you by calling out your rank, they will try no matter what it is.

Mage was insane in arena at that time.
Warlock was shit in arena before that.

It seems like circumstances actually matter. Who would have thought that.

Also facehunter when piloted and drafted right wins over that. You get the warlock too low on health so the can't safely play the thing because of face damage.

I am rather confident that the community will do a good job of banning critical cards to these decks. The most "cancer" deck we saw last time was Zoo, and that got swept in the Final.

Looking forward to that free 3200 dust when the next thing comes out, that'll catch me up a little.

>>168704085
He's saying that those things together make no sense in the way you wrote them.
Single elimination means 1 loss and your out.
Best of 5 means you're out only after your 3rd loss to the same opponent.

>>168704150
>certainly nerfed
To what, exactly? With STB the nerf was obvious, but Patches has such a small and tight design that there really isn't anywhere for them to go smaller with the card. Patches is rather balanced imo, and the real problem was STB.

>>168704303
Ah.

>>168704282
im not talking about the /hsg/ tournament

>>168704404
>To what, exactly?
It's a joke.
That's what people were saying before Ben suggested that STB will be nerfed. A lot of people here were saying how Patches is a safe craft since he will be nerfed and you get your dust back.

>>168704303
Single Elimination doesn't mean if you lose one game you're out but one set. It just means you only have one life in the tournament.

The fact that there is a deck that forces you to topdeck a 25 heal on turn 6 says a freaking lot about the state of the game.

This isn't freaking yugioh.

Is Karazhan worth buying anymore?
It seems like only three or four cards are still being used.

So how do we pick our individual card bans? Does every individual pick 1 standard card to ban and sends it to you on battlenet? Or do you have to send like a top 3 bans in order so you can sort out duplicate picks?

>Noblord

Great another faggot reacting to every play and cant stop moving around

Okay fuck i admit it Shadowverse is actually fun and good. I made an account 2 weeks ago and finished the Shadowcraft campaign and basically logged in today.

>>168706010
It's hard to call it worth paying for that shit, but those cards are needed. I wouldn't be able to justify throwing money to get it, but you really can't replace those cards with anything.
Firelands is an insane tempo swing.
Swashburglar is an early drop that activates Patches and gives you a card. Historian is a freaking must in every Dragon deck.
Hunter is dead but the class got good cards.
Maelstrom Portal coupled with Spirit Claw is what killed Zoo, the only real counter to Shaman pre-Kara.

Excellent cards, but too expensive.

For the same reason that they are sucking Blizzard's dick after they announced the game will be 40% more expensive from this year on and literally impossible to keep up with it as a purely f2p player.

Because they are a bunch of literally retarded people who think they are better than the rest because they are above all the petty and filthy subhumans that don't have +$400 of disposable income that they can give to papa Ben.

>>168707072
It just completely fails in almost every sense of the word. It makes the game even harder to access for new/F2P players.

It's making changes months after they've been problems. Aggro is out of control at the moment, so when they finally touch the Classic set what do they rotate out? Mid-Late game drops and situational lethal drops for Mage and Warlock, because we should all just be forced into Shaman, Warrior, or Druid I guess

I want to punch this fucking Noblord in the face

>>168707482
Adventures are objectively more enjoyable and better value.

Each expansion always has a handful of decent cards, as does each adventure. For adventures, I can purchase individual wings, and if the last wing is shit (like it usually is with meme legendaries) I can save a few bucks.

The only way to get decent cards from expansions is to suck Blizzard's cock and throw money at them until you get it, which can cost 5x a standard adventure

they are releasing 3, 130 card sets a year

would it be better/cheaper for players if they just released 2, 200 car sets a year? Since you would get less duplicates in a set with more cards?

thats not the point, the point is what is cheaper for players, having a lot of small sets or just a few big ones?

since the more packs you buy the more duplicates you get of 1 set

>>168710641
The PERFECT, and I mean it PERFECT solution is.
130 card expansion
40 cards (5legos) are available throuh single player missions, and 90 cards through the card packs.

I did the brawl a lot for one day but got bored of the mage deck. Now I found out the Paladin one is extremely easy to just get turn 1 wins over and over. I could've had like 500g but I squandered it. I might try to see if I can use sunday to monday night to get 100g for the monday before the reset.

It is.
Reno currently is on part with Pirate warrior. Play the green cards and hope to survive long enough.

Aggro Shaman takes a lot of skill to pilot correctly against decks that are all trying to counter it. Sure, it's OP as fuck, but that doesn't mean it's brainless, especially in Shaman mirror matches where one mistake can lead to your opponent snowballing to victory.

to be fair it's a good thing he's getting slapped around
being 16 years old doesn't excuse being a brat, he's learning humility or at least that his words have consequences

I fucking hate normie twitter memes so fucking hard. As hard as renotards that I crush with my Jade druid. Reminder dear renocucks that you have 1 and half month worth to live before your garbage op Reno rotates out. What are you gonna do then? OH THE HORROR, YOU WILL BE FORCED TO FIGHT FOR BOARD PRESSENSE. Do you still remember how to do that? I bet no, your small brain isnt able to comprehend anything other than turn 6 heal 29 wait for opponent to concede.

Get fucked reno mongoloids.
