everyone runs a harrison jones now... because of oil rogues. If you manage to destroy one of its big weapons before playing blurry on it you make them be in a disadvantage.
Well...and because of Paladins and warrors

 

[Rhezuss]

Best moment with Harrison Jones: A Shaman drops Doomhammer but dont attack my Sludge Belcher and pass. I only have one card left in hand and I drop Harrison on his 8 dura Doomhammer. Feels good!

 

[EDUSAN]

it feels great when a handlock plays jaraxxus because its like its last threat and you can destroy his weapon

Well I finally played someone who used a Fel Reaver. It was a warlock, while I was in my spelldeck druid (basically a deck I built to finish up the cast 40 spells daily). I felt bad for him, since he didn't even know what hit him. It was even bad even if he wasn't playing my spelldeck, because I had the coin and still had not used it. Anyway, come turn 5 he pulls out the Reaver, and I just couldn't believe it. I had been saving some cards (specifically I had both of my Innervates (+2 mana for turn), as I wanted to play Ysera, but changed my mind since I realized I could dump his entire deck. So I played both innervates, and the coin (giving me 10 mana total), played a wraith (doing 1 damage and drawing a card, getting my big game hunter, which almost made me change my plan), used both my moonfires on his reaver, used my second wraith (again 1 damage, drew a savage roar), used both my claws, used a savage roar, used a savagery against the reaver (killing it), and attacked his hero for 6 damage. In total, I used 10 cards that round, draining his entire deck, killed the reaver, did 6 damage to his hero, and still had 2 cards in my hand (Yersa and the big game hunter). He quit.

Moral of the story, never play a fel reaver without silencing it, unless you are already out of cards in your deck.

I would get a duplicate of one of the only 3 GvG legendaries I have:

Edit:

So I just dusted him and the Blingtron 3000, and a couple gold cards that I don't use and made Dr. Boom. Figure I just need Harrison and possibly the Black Knight and I have the legendaries covered (until the new expansion).

My legendaries:
All the Naxx ones
Vol'jin
Cairne Bloodhoof
Slyvannas Windrunner
Dr. Boom
Ragnaros the Firelord
Sneed's Old Shredder
Alexstrasza
Ysera
Deathwing

Aside from a couple class specific legendaries, that really covers almost all the really useful ones (well Bloodmage Thalnos and King Mukla are also really useful, just not usually game changers like the other ones typically can be).

I bought the expansion and some packs. Mainly I was hoping to get atleast one dragon legendary from the classic packs because of the upcoming expansion. Ended up getting Ysera which I already have.
Got Cairne - already had
King Krushes x2
Black Knight
Cenarius.

From the GvG packs:
Bolvar Fordragon (already had 1)
Mimiron's Head

I've already crafted Dr. Boom a while back since he's so OP. Got around 7k dust now saved up now for the expansion (plus approx. 5000 more if I dust my gold cards, but I doubt I ever will).

i've reached rank 15, still for free. your golden legends will not save you! i apparently have what's known as mad skills

even with as little opportunity to interact outside of the game board as there is, trolls gonna troll. i don't know what's worse - the ones that want to take the full 1:30 to deal the last point to win, or the ones that go afk once defeat is certain.

Uggh I hate playing against people like that, I usually want to concede but that's playing to their game and encourging them so I usually just browse stuff just their turns - I keep the sound in background setting on for this reason.

I was playing arena yesterday. I got to pick between warlock, warrior and shaman, and I went with shaman. I got pretty bad picks - no fire elementals, earth shock, hex, earth elemental, etc, but I had a lot of solid minions and a lightning storm.
Anyways my first game was against druid, this guy would rope EVERY single turn right to the end, and then drop a card. EVERY turn. And he almost had a contructed deck with atleast two wraths, two keepers of the grove (rare pick), two druids of the claw, TWO ancient of lore (epic pick), 1 iron bark, 2 swipes, 1 BGH (epic pick), etc. but his overall minion quality was worse than mine. I kept on trading but he'd just wipe the board. Eventually after "thinking for a minute", he proceeded to finish me off with savage+force combo lol.

bahaha... So had the Paladin daily today. My second fight was against a mage (which I simply hate with my Paladin as I can never get the board control that I need to win). Well, I draw the argent squire, a blood knight, and a loot hoarder, and then get a noble sacrifice secret on my draw.

I play the secret (since I can't do anything else and it is a useful early game one), as I just want to bide my time until turn 4 when I can combo the blood knight. The mage plays a clockwork gnome (looks like the mage mech deck with healbots, annoy-o-trons, and freeze-bots), at which I jump with joy. I get a truesilver champion, and play my loot hoarder (figuring at least I would get a card from it when he shoots it with his hero power). He doesn't shoot it, but instead plays the coin and a tinkertown technician (making it a 4/4 and getting a spare part), and tries to kill my loot hoarder with the gnome (which triggers my secret and kills the gnome). I draw an aldor peacekeeper (3/3+battlecry set enemy minion's attack to 1), and play it against the his tinkertown, and attack his hero with the loot hoarder. He pops out a mechwarper and a micromachine and kills my loothoarder with the tinkertown (I get a stormwind champ). I kill the mechwarper with the peacekeeper, play the truthsilver, and kill the micromachine. He stamps out 2 annoy-o-trons I just start thanking him the moment the second one comes down, and he kills my peacekeeper with his tinkertown. So I play the argent squire, and the bloodmage, making the bloodmage a 12/12 monster and destroying the shields on the annoy-o-trons, and he quits.

This is someone's spreadsheet I found on reddit which I use to track my collection:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...YI8_8HkdYb57wb8cD4ZLnxtffU/edit#gid=357052481
I find it pretty helpful.

Currently I'm playing on ranked with warrior. Previously I'd only played warrior for quests. Today was a wasted day though. Started at rank 8 and dropped to 10 while trying to complete a 5 win quest with shaman, Probably should've done that in casual... but back to rank 8 again with control warrior. It's not the best deck to right now b/c of all the fast mech mage and paladin decks but it's pretty fun.

Anyways, here;s the deck I'm using. Frothing berserkers are something I'm trying out, previously I was running shieldmaiden X2 instead but was finding the deck too slow. Also had a Black Knight but I replaced him with Kezan mystic, which I find comes in handy a lot more. Even won me a few games singlehandedly. I don't have Ragnaros and Gore Howl yet... and I'm still missing a 2nd shield slam.

BRS releases next thursday.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

ouch, the big spenders are out tonight! i'm taking a clobbering thru sheer card power

edit:
fucking priests have me *this* close to rage quitting

 

[JTsyo]

I'm a 192 coins short of buying the adv through Amazon's app store. Is the cost per adv $5? Maybe I'll buy one or two with gold and use the coins for rest, think they expire in May.

WTF is wrong with this game? just now, i couldn't cast an ooze (not enough mana) with 2/6 mana sitting in the tray. last night i got screwed when my piloted shredder didn't summon another minion. half the time i don't get a spare part card from an opponent's mechanical yeti.

i accept glitches in video games, but this is too much. who would play an fps with a "no ammo" glitch?

 

[Fallen Kell]

Well I got a gold Toshley tonight and a normal Nat Pagle with the two packs I opened tonight.

Not sure if I will dust the Toshley or not. It essentially will let me get any legendary I want, but it seems to be a pretty decent one on its own (a 5/7 6cost card with potential for 2 spare parts isn't bad). I might hold onto it until we see how the new expansion adventure cards change the game.

Not sure on the Nat. It was previously a really decent card before the nerf.

I've never experienced glitches like these. If you're not getting spare parts, you really should file bug reports because I haven't heard about this bug.

I'd definately keep that golden toshley until the adventure is fully released. Though if I ever get a golden legendary, I wouldn't dust it whether it's useful or not... 500+ packs opened so far and no golden legendaries yet...

Never had a glitch like that. Are you playing on a phone/tablet?

Blackrock mountains out in a bit over a week!

Blackrock mountains out in a bit over a week!

Actually it's out way sooner. April 2nd or 3rd, depending upon where you live. Only 3 days to go.

And I just saw the card release by blizzard on twitch. Man some of those new cards are going to be so good, esp. that legendary which reduces card cost by 1 every turn... imagine that in handlock.

nope, pc.

lol.... ok so I just made an insanely nasty 2-cost minion mission priest deck. Only thing I lost to was a priest that was able to cabal shadow priest and vol'jin my minions. My deck only has 2 minions that are above 2 cost (and only 5 cards that are above 2 cost). Between heals and loot hoarders I have yet to run out of cards to play (even going to round 10). I felt bad for the Shaman I just destroyed. He thought he was going to get past my deathlord and get some board presence finally when he brought out his 6/5+3damage battlecry, only for me heal, play a healing minion, play the +2 hp spell, double hp spell, set attack=hp spell on my deathlord (20/20 monster), which I beat down his hero with (oh, and get 3 cards in the process since I had a 1/5 priest (+2hp spell was on it which is why he didn't just kill the priest with his battlecry)).

I'm dedicating all quest gold to the upcoming brm adventure. Don't try to stop me.

 

[SithSolo1]

Well I just installed it to get the mount. The computer wasn't that bad but other players were challenging.

Running Jaina:
vs. Jaina - I was in my upper teens when I won.
vs. Anduin - I some how survived the last two rounds with 3 health.
vs Jaina - player probably threw their computer out the window when I somehow managed to win with 1 health when they had 15 health and 3 minions coming into the final round.

Dunno how much I'll play but winning was fun.
