Isn't Madder Bomber just bad anyway? 3/2 for 2 is on-curve, 5/4 for 5 is below curve, symettric effects have to do a lot of work to make up that difference..
Malganis is whatever. Might be ok. Makes the blingtron-harrison combo sexier for handlock.
Implosion is swingy but it's deliberately underpowered like mind control tech so that it won't bother the real players too much.
Malorne is probably useless. For an x/7 we expect to pay 6 for Boulderfist Ogre but then we're still dissatisfied with that anyway. So the effect needs to help somehow but it's not a good effect... the effect causes you to draw the card that is overcosted in the first place, so you can only consider it a good card with recursive logic.
Double fatigue situation is no help either. Druid mill might be supported by GvG but if it is it has no need for a 9/7 for 7. What, you skip a single Fatigue 4 draw from playing it, and it's a priestess with some extra health? Playing it yet again is just unrealistic, the game will be over by then. Healbot, Tree of life, even Alexstraza are all doing its job better.
This wasn't me, but the Handlock guy I played today tapped with 10 cards in hand.
Is it still held by taunt?Read Jorbles' post. If you target a taunt minion but it attacks the wrong enemy, that wrong enemy can a minion without taunt, or a stealthed minion, or even the enemy hero.
Yes, Leokk is usually not as good as the other two, but at least it's the same ballpark of power, and sometimes it's actually the best result. Nowhere near 1/1 vs 4/4. I'm not saying that Animal Companion has the fairest possible effect, but it's not needlessly swingy, in my opinion. Though at least with the shredder, by specifying the mana cost, they've moved away from Bane of Doom level swinginess, so that's nice.Piloted Shredder offers that same Harvest Golem look at 4, which is nice.I kinda dislike the way they did the RNG on this card. I don't mind RNG in general, but I like it better when whether the outcome is good or not depends on the situation and how you use it. For example, if Piloted Shredder only dropped 2-drops of similar power like Raptors, Crocs, and Pint-Sized Summoners, that'd be neat--kinda like how Animal Companion works. The wording makes it sound like it could also drop a Captain's Parrot or Millhouse Manastorm, either of which would be pretty awful for one of the players.
I don't think all the Animal Companions are all that close in value. In most common situations, Huffer > Misha >>> Leokk. And I don't think Millhouse/Engi/Parrot ruin the card. There's a LOT of 3/2s and 2/3s and 2/2s and not a ton of things that are too far off of that, so the chances that you'll get the huge RNG boost are like the chances of a Mad Bomber killing a 2/3 or something.
Webspinner is super swingy
My opponent just tried to heal their Soulpriest with their hero power. Also, Wailing soul, zombie show, dancing sword, undertaker priest deck at rank 9? Why is he not testing things in Casual?
Welcome! We'll add you. I'm "10b5". We normally chat using Dolby Axon if you use a headset/mic.
Great! Do you guys usually play normals?
I don't know much at all about MtG, but I'm guessing knowing the full decklist would make unpopular, situational cards even more unpopular. Can't think of any good examples of Hearthstone cards that would become even more unplayable than they are now. Anyway, revealing the decklist really ruins secrets too, should you decide to only run a couple for support.Worse.But *why* is it worse? Is so much of the intrigue of the game based on surprising your opponents?
MTG does it only when it has to, like when some players are compromised on big, 2-3 days tournments, cuz some players are at disadvantage if their deck got featured (esp the deck tech) and now everybody got access to it.
I don't see what revealing decklists bring. It's like revealing hands.
You need to consider your plays and predict future plays with much more uncertainty, which means experience and knowing the meta/game and and exact netdecklists as well those more unusual builds/cards some use is more meaningful. And I think that is good and skillful, as that is/should be the part of the game.
Edit: Unless you hide the secrets, only showing how many the the player has.
Also, we should play some more ranked games so we don't lose our team name!
