Hey, I was just wondering if Combo Priest can be a thing now with Thaurissan + Velen + Mindblast and stuff. A quick search online shows that some people claim to have success with it. Priest already has quite a few ways to stall out the game already. I have the pieces build something like that myself, so I guess the best way to find out it's strength is to try it out myself.

I was also playing around with a Dragon-style Priest deck similar to Ashersky's, but with edits like no Drakonids or Faerie dragons. It's fun to have beefier minions than usual as a Priest.

I lost to a spell priest yesterday, so it exists on ladder, at least.

I still have my dragon priest...I stopped fairie Dragons, but the drakonids have been key big drops.

I've seen the combo priest a bit. It seems ok, but I don't have Prophet Velen to try it out myself. I think it can do decently well and is probably fun to play.

Hey, speaking of Savagery...

[EgorK]

Abusive Sergeant x 2
Voidwalker x 2

2 mana
Knife Juggler x 2
Ironbeak Owl
Haunted Creeper x 2
Nerubian Egg x 2
Dire Wolf Alpha x 2

3 mana
Void Terror
Imp Gang Boss x 2

4 mana
Voidcaller x 2
Imp-losion x 2
Defender of Argus x 2

5 mana
Bane of Doom
Doomguard

6+ mana
Sylvanas Windrunner
Dr. Boom
Mal'Ganis
Sea Giant

Played 999 minutes holding this Patron warrior off from killing me as priest, then he freezes the game.  And afaik like old tracking freezes there is still no resolution besides "he who quits first loses" (up to some cap where eventually it makes both people quit and assigns loss at random")

Pretty infuriating.

We can both still emote.

Bane of Doom just frustrates me every time I see it. It's SO swingy.

What do you mean by this? How does one freeze the game?

[popsofctown]

If you never saw the old tracking freeze, players could select a card from tracking before it was ready to be selected.  The result is that the three cards would stay on screen, the player who tried to pick a card cannot pick one, and the timer is stalled, so the turn gains an unlimited time limit.  Both players can still emote and play with the board, but neither can do anything to progress the game state.  The tracking bug could be invoked deliberately with good timing when one was in a losing position.

Other ways pop up to cause the state.  Pandas used to do it. (shadowstep did it less for some reason, probably animation time?).  I don't know how the Warrior managed to cause it, but the animation made it look like he was about to play two cards at the same time for a moment.

[qmech]

Someone suggested I start tracking my matches to help me improve.  I think it's working.

[popsofctown]

I beat Zog in ranked using both Gnomish Experimenter and ETC

[Seprix]

No. I'm afraid to try.

[KingZog3]

But to be fair, you were lucky. I mean... ETC. C'mon!

[popsofctown]

Random thought, does anyone else ever forget GvG stands for "Goblins versus Gnomes"? In my mind it always stands for "Mechs".

What? No. I mean, Lost Tallstrider isn't even a Mech.

I use Hobgoblin sometimes, you always reminds me where he came from with his summon quote "Goblins and Gnooomes". But it's true that the Mechs were one of its major contributions.

[popsofctown]

But even Lost Tallstrider is wearing goggles that look like they were appropriated from a mech! (or use in constructing or working on one)

*gasp* And it even has a gun mounted onto it

Shield Maiden has nothing to do with mechs!

You've damaged my argument, but I can take the hit.

Speaking of Shieldmaiden, you should always switch localization to Spanish(MX) when you play control warrior.  English Shieldmaiden says "I can take the hit" without any suggestion that she is making an effort to protect Grommash.  It sounds she is just expecting to get hit soon, and she cockily boasts that she will be able to handle it.  Spanish Shieldmaiden says "I'll cover you!" in a more matronly way, it's very sweet.

Grommash's attack gibberish is better in Spanish anyway.

BRB crafting gold Shieldmaidens.

[KingZog3]

Why are you crafting gold shield maidens? Just be cool like me and open them.

[popsofctown]

New patch, no cards nerfed to usher in TGT as happened with GVG.

Everyone, get in here.

So basically you're trusting that you can 100% predict everything. Also, try hard.

[Grujah]

IMHO, the needed nerf is that Warsong's effect is an aura (Creatures you control with 3 or less power have haste). They nerfed the original (everybody get haste) exactly cause you could give haste to giant creatures, so this is pretty much a move in same direction.

All rest is fine.

[Grujah]

And this is one of the few decks that I ever though really needed a nerf.

IMHO, Miracle Rogue was fine. And undertaker too (though really annoying).

This, however, ain't.
