Today is a terrible day... Minutes ago, I have been defeated by The King of the Salt Thread, also know as Kaladin, in the f...king Standard Brawliseum (this week's Tavern Brawl)!!! Was this person an impostor or did I really face the real Kaladin??? I really don't f...king know, but RNG f...ked me so badly, it's unbelievable!!! Yeah, I know, I forgot to play around perfect answer after perfect answer, it is obviously all my fault!!! It's just utterly insane how well he drawn vs me...
I hate myself... I just wanna die... I don't deserve to even exist!!!
No reason to play Hearthstone anymore... I regret my entire life, I wish I was dead!!!
Please Kaladin, if you are reading this, do me a favor and ban yourself from life!!!
Just kidding, hehe... XD XD XD I really enjoyed the match. Well played, Kaladin!!! :D :D :D
Hunter is strangly amazing to play right now. It‘s so much fun to figure out a wincondition. I love secret decks in general because of the mindgames but Zephrys is the cherry on the cake.
The best part about this deck, it beats warriors! No draw issues, enough value and good tools to play around their removal. Zephrys into Thirion is totally a thing btw! They use the weapon removal on your eagelhorn bow (if not, they lose). Turns out Ashbringer is a nice warrior killer.
Brann turn 7 is crazy aswell. Cash in those 8 damage, destroy their armor. No shieldslam, no omega devestator, ... they often have to use brawl+ minions to counter this single card!
Some Zephrys plays that Kripp missed:
- Gorehowl for 7 damage
- Shadowword death or deadly shot for efficient removal
And early Zephrys plays have serious synergy with Zul‘jin
I fully agree with you, Highlander Hunter is a blast to play!!! :) :) :)
Indeed, he made a point of what i was starting to think myself.
And all the complex mechanics are actually why Zephrys the Great is a fun card. When should I play him? What I'm going to get if I play it like this? Should I wait more or go for Tempo now? Maybe the most fun card in the game.
However, I also noticed that Zephrys can whiff sometimes, and "engineering the situation" is often complicated in terms of real game.
That's a pretty tough downside of the card, and what makes me think Kripp is wrong when he says Highlander decks are going to warp the meta.
I'm pretty sure Team 5 is going to invest a lot of time to improve the code and algorithms behind Zephrys the Great in the future, the card is so cool it really deserves that kind of attention. ;)
Damn, good video. Highlander Hunter is kinda fucked up lol. I hate the decks that punish you for literally playing cards. But good info on how Zephrys work.
I recently watched this video about the most interesting (and probably the most powerful) card of this set and wanted to share it with you, people. Some things Kripp says are kinda obvious, but most of them are very informative. To anyone out there who hasn't watched it yet, enjoy!!! :D :D :D
What do I think? I think no one can please everyone, not even Blizzard. Sorry, but that's the harsh truth. There will always be some problems like this one, and no matter what Blizzard does, they are inevitable. Of course, I'm talking about the problem with new/f2p players and legendaries, not the rarity creep.
So, we're a few days into the expansion. Of course a lot of decks are still being refined heavily but looking at hsreplay just now surprised me. The meta archetypes tab in particular: https://hsreplay.net/meta/#tab=archetypes
The only quest deck with a positive winrate is the paladin one. Obviously half of the quests were quite obviously going to be meme tier at best. But quest druid and shaman not being able to hit an average winrate of 50% or higher baffles me.
My assumption why only Uther's quest seems competitive would be because quest paladin destroys the 'strongest' deck right now, control warrior. With a whopping 76.8% winrate no less. Whereas all the other decks stand no chance against good ol' Garrosh. Even quest shaman with its near infinite value seems to be no match.
What are your thoughts on why this is the case? Do you think druid, shaman or any other quest deck can still climb to a positive winrate?
Too soon, you're making assumptions too soon, Executus!!!
Hearthstone is heavily based around the lore of the WoW universe, does this incentivise you to try it or had you already played it before starting Hearthstone?
For me personally, Hearthstone introduced the Warcraft universe in an interesting way leading to me playing the game on a regular basis.
You have to play Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and it's expansion Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne if you haven't done it yet (or wait for Warcraft 3: Reforged). The story/campaign is epic and the gameplay is pretty good. It's also the game that made me love elves in most fantasy settings, although I still hate almost all of the Tolkien (Arwen is one of the few exceptions) and Warhammer Fantasy "pointy ears" with passion. :P :P :P
Warhammer has some of the best elves ever created, especially the dark elves, Malekith, Morathi and Malus are so well written. I get High ones are dicks but they are supposed to be. Telcis, Alarielle and Alith Anar in particular are fricking awesome though. Tyrion is douchey no arguement there lol.
Meh, you can't be serious... Most Blood Elves and Night Elves are far more convincing than any Warhammer Fantasy elf. WHF elves are (and were...) so cliché it hurts, although I have to admit most of their miniature range has always been awesome.
Why Vereesa Windrunner? I don't think you have enough spells to justify her. Probably would be better off with Siamat for a 2nd target for Sandbinder
Exactly my thoughts. Running Sandbinder to get only a single card makes no sense. Neither does running Vereesa Windrunner in this deck.
Kripparrian just released a Highlander Hunter video, featuring a deck with which he reached Legend, in which he's running Sandbinder just to tutor Zephrys the Great and Siamat.
Oh, God... Did Team 5 finally conceive a competitive non-mindless me-go-face archetype in Hearthstone, where decision making actually means something??? What is this sorcery??? Is the world gonna end tomorrow or what??? :O :O :O

Today is the day!!! Today is my birthday!!! So I will upload the missing pictures, hehe... :P :P :P
Damn, I have been very busy today, didn't really expect this day to be so demanding... I will upload the missing pictures tomorrow, for anyone out there who is still interested on this. :) :) :)
Happy birthday my brudah! Even if i am one of those plebs who played magic only through mtga (and because of you) i can understand your excitement!
As for your mom, she is op as a fuck which is only natural as she gave birth to a chaos god! I really wish you the best my dear friend for you and your family! And who knows, we might toast beers you in person one day! Only an ocean separates us anyway! :D
Haha, thank you!!! That would be awesome, jainaishot!!! I really appreciate you a lot, my internet friend!!! :D :D :D Someday we will meet in real life, I promise!!! :) :) :)
I used to watch episodes of Black Mirror with my older brother together at his home, but then he moved too far for my taste, so I stopped watching the series. :P :P :P
I'm the kind of person who usually needs to watch and share things with someone else. Most of the time, I can't stand watching a movie or series alone, and no, not even Game of Thrones (when it was good)... :( :( :(
I normally enjoy these things alone and while I can agree that watching with people is generally more fun, I can't imagine having to do this always
I mean, that sounds a logistical nightmare. What if one person doesn't like a show after getting into it but the other one does? What if one person becomes super busy (or moves away)? What if you want to start watching a show but no one is interested in what you picked? What if your friend goes, "wtf man, why are you such a fan of a complete psychopath like Ramsay Bolton?" lol
Well, it's really not a problem most of the time, at least not for me. I don't have a stablished group of friends, neither I want one. I love to hang out with all kind of people, but most of the time individualy, mostly because I enjoy doing it that way. Of course, you have to be very tolerant to do such a thing as a way of life, while being very curious at the same time. I already received some Whatsapp messages and phone calls because of my birthday, and guess what? None of them knows each other personally.
The fact I also pay a lot of attention to every single detail about the people surronding me, since they are notably different to each other, makes it easy for me to choose a good candidate to watch a certain movie or series together. :) :) :)
Oh, and while some people first reaction to my obsession with Ramsay is not very pleasant, they tend to accept it without any problem in the end, hehe. :P :P :P
Quick two questions, before you opened the packs, did you sniff them at all. The other question is kind of a follow-up question of did you sniff the pack after you immediately cracked it. Both of these are two vital steps when it comes to cracking packs and to not would be missing a large part of the experience.
Hahahaha, yeah, I did both things, I can't resist the smell of something new in my hands... :P :P :P
Im looking forward to seeing Witcher, yes. Not sure what to expect, but i will watch it.
I can second recommendation of Westworld. Pretty unique take on a relatively common "robot" theme. I was pleasantly surprised. And there are some major WTF moments as well, great series :)
For more unique takes on sci-fi, make sure to watch Black Mirror if you haven't already. Westworld is more or less a really long episode of Black Mirror. It's an anthology series with WTF endings each episode. They both deal with the underlying theme of future or emerging technologies and their moral implications of their existence.

Haha, don't worry, I know you are joking. But don't forget to watch it later, the video is very informative. :D :D :D
Also, to the people constantly downvoting every single post I make, well, you are just wasting your precious time my beloved ones...
