Just opened a golden lorewalker cho. Really torn on dis enchanting this one or not. That's a lot of dust for what I consider a crappy card. On the other hand it is a golden legendary which is pretty neat in and if itself...

disenchant and make a better legendary.

Yeah, it's a free whatever legendary you want. I would love to open any golden legendary.

Just played Gadgetzan - Consecrate - Coin - Blessing of Might in arena to clear the board and draw 3 cards. Feels pretty good.

I made a Ragnaros and my win rate has at least tripled and I started beating WalrusMcFish which was all I really wanted anyway. I always hated losing to Rag so it's nice to increase the misery in the world.

Aside: What he doesn't know is I've crafted my own Ragnaros and I'm plotting my revenge...

(Opened a golden Captain Greenskin. It was either that or a Leeroy Jenkins)

Don't worry, the HS gods will pay you back soon enough by ensuring that your next 40 games or so every time you play Rag, your opponent will have a Shadow Word: Death/Assassinate/Execute etc. for removal in hand while your one shot at hitting him will instead hit a bubbled Argent Squire.

Yeah, there is a lot of that. Although, to compensate, my opponent thoughtstole Ragnaros which proceeded to hit nothing important and then I dropped my Ragnaros and toasted his copy at the end of my turn.

Ooh, I just opened a golden legendary: Milhouse Manastorm. I can disenchant that for a Legendary's worth of dust. Then again, I could keep it in case I want to build towards Randuin.

The only reason why I keep Manastorm and Nozdromu. :P

Millhouse is almost worth keeping for the laughs.

Millhouse is great, because every now and then, you'll think, "yeah the constructed meta totally makes Millhouse safe enough to use", and then you'll be proven horribly wrong in the funniest ways.

I should watch some of those.

I can try Milhouse out in casual mode and see what happens. I expect to see free Thoughtsteals, Wild Growths, Arcane Intellects, Soulfires...hey wait Soulfire is already free.

Zoolock fear me!

Yeah, I suppose Milhouse is completely safe against Zoolock.

Yeah I just thought of that too. Scary stuff.

More on the serious side, your typical Warlock can at best trade 1-1 against Milhouse with Shadowbolt or Siphon Soul. It's still a big tempo swing if they plop a minion on the same turn though. Exactly what Zoolock wants.

Millhouse is safe against Zoo, but that's it. Handlock can probably 1-for-1 for free, Druid will wreck face with Savage Roar or Swipe, Paladin might play Lay on Hands or free Hammers, Miracle is obviously completely unsafe.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't play it, it means you should record all the matches where you do play it. :P

Probably this is nothing special, but I just had some fun with my gimmicky Rogue deck playing Coin - Defias Ringleader - Shadowstep - Defias Ringleader - Shadowstep - Defias Ringleader. 9 damage to the face on turn 2 and the poor Hunter never really recovered.

And yes I am aware this opening would be very sad to see an Arcane Explosion or something like that haha. Also not the most efficient use of resources probably. But it worked this time.

That's like the ideal setup for an Unleash the Hounds. Lucky he didn't have it in hand.

It also costs 3, so at the very least he was going to take the T2 damage.

If you're playing on curve, why would you be worried about Savage Roar?  And heck, Swipe doesn't really seem that bad.  I'm more concerned about Sprint, Pyroblast, even Mind Control or Wild Growth.

Ideally, you feel safe to play Millhouse when you're not on curve. There are other cards that get way worse off curve, like Zombie Chow, but none like Millhouse

There are reports of 5 mana Leeroys and 5 mana 3/2 Buzzards, leading to nerf speculation. Seems like odd timing to kill the Leeroy-Shadowstep combo given that Miracle isn't doing as well post Naxx. A Buzzard nerf makes sense, but to 5 mana, really?

For those interested.

They do seem harsh.

Buzzard to 5 mana does sound pretty bad. The way I'm thinking about it is, Azure Drake is already draw a card + 4/4 + spell damage for 5 cost. So, just 1 card off a Buzzard is awful, and you want at least 2, but there's just so little chance of a 3/2 living past a turn, meaning you have to play this ridiculously late game.
