    Not nerfing Refreshing Spring Water is insanity. The ridiculous value of draw 2 cards for 0 has caused me far more anger than Lunacy.

    I would have liked the heal+summon 8/8 Libram to lose taunt too but you can't have everything.

    No minion mage is still very strong without lunacy with all the burn and the draw, and lunacy wasn't even hit that hard to change anything in that deck.

    There is really no clean way to make an informed statement here. Statistics tell us that false accusations are incredibly rare so really, if you don't decide from the start which side you believe to tell the truth, that's the closest you can come to the truth.

    The thing is, in this specific case, Zalae just hasn't really defended himself and it honestly looks like he was just waiting for it to all go away if he just didn't address it. And if you look at alleged victim and abuser's mannerisms, the allegations seem like they... fit. The way zalae presents himself on stream looks less and less like a played character and more of a state of mind. He shows zero empathy, displays very arrogant patterns of interaction with chat and constantly pushes himself to be fitter and more efficient. Meanwhile Rini in her video is fidgety, nervous, intimidated and still somehow worried about Zalae (as in, instead of showing a desire to hurt him or his career, she voices concern about him and his issues).

    Taking everything about their profiles into account, Rini's account makes sense. It all fits and if you scroll through the comments, you find a lot of people who know Zalae's mannerisms be entirely unsurprised.

    So yeah, personally? I usually believe the victim. And in this case I just also feel very confident in believing the victim.

    Well put. Rini has also repeatedly said that she doesn't want to "cancel" Zalae not to hurt his career but she felt she had to speak up to give herself some peace of mind and bring awareness of his abusive behavior to his current girlfriend. If she was somehow making anything of this up, she could be going after him way harder.

    I still find it baffling how so many people find it hard to empathize with the victim who took the immense courage to speak up that they would believe that the probability of the victim acting as a manipulative abuser who is just trying to ruin someone's career is the same as the abuse allegations being true. I understand that there is always a possibility of something like that actually being true, but bringing that small possibility up as an equally valid argument is simply insensitive and illogical, especially after hearing the story and comparing how the two involved parties present themselves to the public.

    I think this card is bugged yet again. After playing against it, my turn lasted infinitely or at least long enough for me to win the match by waiting for the opponent who was playing shudderwock (!) to concede out of frustration.

    My guesses: Sword of the FallenPen FlingerDeck of LunacyRefreshing Spring WaterFar Watch Post

    Or the librams could be slightly changed to disable lowering their cost below 1 mana.

    If they want to nerf weapon rogue, I guess Self-Sharpening Sword will be hit next, but that would just push Swinetusk Shank in that slot with not much accomplished.

    So Varden's gender is non-binary? I can't help but notice the repeated use of they-pronouns.

    I hope Iksar's face photoshopped on card art becomes a regular thing for covers on these Q&A recaps.

    This should really be buffed to 3 mana Assassinate (should link to 4 mana card) Coerce

    To put it nicely, I'm a much bigger fan of randomly generated mage spells from mana cyclone than randomly generated spells from other classes in mage. Especially since these spells aren't that much random because the higher-costed spell pool is much smaller.

    Thanks :) It's pretty similar to the priest list I played in Darkmoon, only now Cleric of Scales is replaced with Thrive in the Shadows and it's moved from spell generation by Cobalt Spellkin to the new healing synergies. Blademaster Samuro is also nuts in this list.

    The meta rarely turns out exactly how the community predicts it to be. J Alex's miracle rogue deck is in that list though.

    Well I wouldn't call the posted decks "the meta" just yet... Miracle rogue is pretty good, but it's too early to cling to any winrates so I won't say that any one rogue deck is better than the others. Besides, Scabbs is pretty versatile and can be useful in all of these decklists.

    No miracle rogue? Scabbs was the top rated card of the set and none of these decks includes him D:

    What about Miracle Priest? Firebat and Zanananan were playing their versions on stream, and having played it myself, it is pretty good and has game with any deck in the meta.

    What does priest miracle with? If you have a deck code please share it :D

    see the thing is ... that with silverleaf poison. ... it is bugged...when you shuffle kingsbane in your deck and then you attack again it draws 2 instead of one card...so you draw...and you draw...and you draw...like infinitely... 

    Yeah I just noticed it as well... It should definitely not work like that.

    I discovered a new bug: Ring Toss only allows me to pick between Rigged Faire Game, Oasis Ally and Netherwind Portal, so it seems secrets from the core set are not in the discovery pool. It might be the case with other discover cards as well.

    This card is BUGGED with Kingsbane. It seems each time you re-equip Kingsbane that has silverleaf poison applied it draws 1 more card after attacking...

    Cool review, just one thing about your deck, is it meant to be wild, because knife juggler and leper gnome are rotating

    I think it was just an oversight, making most of the theorycrafted deck unusable

    I love that they are making room to push a freeze mage or a hero power mage into the meta, while still keeping the existent archetypes like secret or casino mage relevant. But the deck-building possibilities the new spell schools introduce are what intrigues me the most.

    I would really like to see mage go in a direction where you can choose the direction you want to build your deck with the spell school of the spells you include, so you could build a fire, ice or arcane mage deck. A spell that discovers you a spell from one of each schools could tie them all together.

    I never understood the mage hate, cyclone mage is the deck I had the most fun with during these two years. Conjurer's calling and Evocation needed to be nerfed but playing against it didn't feel as bad to me since it requires flexibility of play with generated cards and ensures more varied games than consistent straightforward decks like soul DH, bomb warrior or libram paladin. Maybe that's just me, but the miracle part of hs is my favorite thing in the game.
