Well the cheap spells synergize with any form of card draw, not Jeeves in particular, so to me it makes more sense to run Acolyte or Azure Drake or Arcane Intellect or Loot than Jeeves.

2 Antonidas is strictly better for that kind of synergy, but none of the pros do that for some reason.

I'm sure there's a very good reason they don't run two of the same legendary minion. :p

You can't run two of the same legendary minion.


I wasn't sure which one of you was joking, and then I couldn't resist making the chain one step longer.

You can sort of run three, with double Faceless.  You have to have a lot go right, though.

Draw until X cares extra that the cards you draw are cheap, so the synergy is stronger.

The raw power gap between Intellect and Jeeves might point away from Jeeves, but the synergy is there though.

Well the cheap spells synergize with any form of card draw, not Jeeves in particular, so to me it makes more sense to run Acolyte or Azure Drake or Arcane Intellect or Loot than Jeeves.

The way I do it, Acolyte isn't agressive enough. I run entirely minions and spells that cost 2 or less, except for Jeeves, Intellect, Fireball and Antonidas.

I run 2 Loots, 2 Jeeves, 1 Intellect for draw. I'd sub out the Intellect for a Thalnos if I had it. I used to run a Novice Engineer, but it turns out that card is too awful to run.

Drawing the Antonidas sucks when you draw it early in the game, but it gives you an out if the game goes long (an Azure is almost as bad in your hand, but won't save you with the cards you have). I actually like Antonidas quite a bit in Jeeves Mages, he works really well with the cheap spells, and definitely gives me a reason to keep playing if I stall out, which every aggro deck does occasionally when Control draws their answers. If any of you actually play Jeeves Mage I'd recommend trying it with Antonidas, he's a great finisher (don't try it with Pyroblast, that card costs too much to waste a turn on).

I'm surprised they aren't doing it for blackrock mountain. It seems like would synergies well with from patron and they'd want that to work proporly.

It already synergizes really well with Piloted Shredder.  I think it's just reflective of a really caustic dismissive attitude towards the Johnny portion of the playerbase to not prioritize the bug.

My guess as to why they haven't fixed it is that the rules programmer(s) might have already moved on to coding Blackrock Mountain by the time the bug was discovered, and at that point they may well have fixed it in the BRM branch, but the relevant part of the code might be different enough that it's difficult to backport the fix to the current release. In that case, they might have decided to accept some months delay (until BRM release) rather than invest time into the backport. Though I don't know why they wouldn't just tell people that it's going to be fixed in BRM.

They don't have to wait to branch into Blackrock Mountain to put an asterisk on the card or change its text to match its current behavior until then.  Or disabling the card temporarily, that'd be a good choice too, it's not exciting to see among your three in arena and it's just incorrect to use it in constructed if you can't use deathrattle minions OR battlecry attack increases with it

I mean your speculation is probably really perceptive about why they are dropping the ball but all I care is that they are dropping the ball and I'm pissed off about the dropping of the ball.

I am very much a filthy casual when it comes to Hearthstone, but I appreciate that there is something to be enjoyed at all levels, and that good play can beat stacks of legendaries.  Today's quests have been Bloodlust Shaman: Taunt Druid died to a few lucky taunt totems and a severe aversion to going face (possibly playing around Bloodlust).  Mech Mage did not play around Bloodlust: don't leave 5 minions and 9 attack on the board when you have 24 HP.

Yeah if I'm not mistaken Trump has featured Bloodlust shaman as a good skill-intense budget deck.
