Is Bolster Warrior a thing yet?

[AngryPidgeon]

Stop trying to make Bolster Warrior a thing, Gretchen. It's never going to be a thing.

[Shinobi]

I heard something about a Hearthstone tournament.
I'm in.

[Thestatusquo]

Please post in the thread in the wsogmm

[MTD]

so for this deck I'd either want Icehowl or Ragnaros.
Sadly I have neither.

[MTD]

Still really fun to play.

current wailing soul druid list:
2xInnervate
2xRaven Idol
2xWrath
2xAncient Watcher
2xDarnassus Aspirant
2xIronbeak Owl
2xSavage Roar
1xDeathlord
2xOgre Brute
2xSwipe
2xEerie Statue
1xKeeper
1xSpellbreaker
2xWailing Soul
1xFel Reaver
1xLoatheb
1xForce of Nature
1xDr. Seven
1xArch-Thief Rafaam

(I only own 1 each of fel reaver and force)

[AngryPidgeon]

Hmmm deathlord is a great candidate for that actually. I should rethink my list.

[Glork]

So I finally start playing again after like 6 weeks off. First quest is to win 5 tavern brawls.

I'm like 3-30. Fuck this brawl and fuck RNG. I should have just rerolled it but at this point I just need two wins?

[Glork]

Well my Tavern Brawl pack made it #worth...

[MTD]

whistles

[AngryPidgeon]

Thats a card!

[3dicerolling]

It was all worth it for the ice lance. amiright.

[Thestatusquo]

That's a hell of a pack.


Grind from 12 to 5 today. In striking distance of legend if I hustle.

[Sudo_Nym]

Got back in, made it to 16, which is maybe not impressive, but I get a card back. Discover is a fun mechanic, and the meta is fun to play in again, which is nice. We'll see how long it lasts.

Got enough dust to make another legendary. Trying to decide if I want Jaraxxus, Antonidas, Tirion, or Baron Geddon.

[Thestatusquo]

The only one of those I would dismiss out of hand is Baron. It's really only good in one archetype and that archetype requires a whole bunch of other legends to make it work.

My inclination is to go with archmage. It's so important to all the decks it's in.

[AngryPidgeon]

I actually kind of dislike the meta. It feels like all decks are either reno or Aggro shaman.

[Thestatusquo]

Hasn't really been my experience. Today I've seen mostly priest, shaman and token druid.

[Sudo_Nym]

Baron Geddon is really only good in Control Warrior, but I've already got most of the legendaries for that anyway- Trueheart, Ragnaros, Sylvanas, Ysera, Grom, and Alex, because I'm a consumer whore.

Tirion opens up a bunch of Paladin decks, and is maybe the best class legend.

Antonidas is really good in Tempo Mage and Freeze Mage, both decks I like, and Freeze Mage is basically unplayable without him.

Jaraxxus makes Handlock better, which is one my favorite decks, and is basically necessary in Renolock.

And I suppose I like the Reno decks; I hated the fast aggro meta, and I like the new slower meta. Of course, it also means people can't grind through matches in 5 minutes either, which can be positive or negative, based on what you like. Odd that Shammy is the only viable aggro deck now, though- I thought Face Hunter and Eboladin would be around forever.

[Thestatusquo]

I think that reno is an awful card design and is deeply unhealthy for hearthstone. That being said, I also think the meta seems to have moved away from it a little bit. I don't think I got renod even once today in about 30 games.

[Sudo_Nym]

Reno does potential price people out of the format, since you need a bunch of good cards to fill out a deck if you want to play it, or you have to play a higher class deck in order to beat it- face hunter was one of the best decks for budget players, but it can't beat Reno, so it's dying. So I can understand that.

[Thestatusquo]

I just think it fundamentally changes the face/trade decision tree such that it's almost never correct to go face anymore. Since I thought that tree was one of the more interesting parts of hearthstone it makes me sad.

[Sudo_Nym]

Maybe. I always found the struggle for board control to be more interesting; it's one of the reasons one of my favorite decks to play and to play against was Handlock.

[PJ.]

Played 2 games. Got my 40 dust from tavern brawl, got all my dailies done, gg hearthstone.

[MTD]

I got reno'd exactly once recently (from 1 even) and I still won that.

[Glork]

So what are people seeing on ladder, and what's good right now? I have yet to play ranked but I might try to grind on my day off on Wednesday.
