Poulets en Colère,
I just finished a game that left me laughing and in shock. And also feeling a little bit bad for my opponent. But mostly laughing. I was playing my control warrior deck against a kinda funky aggro/mech warrior deck. Towards the end of the game, I had 12 health left with four minions on board, and the opponent had 2 Boom Bots. On his turn, he played a Warsong Commander followed up by a Frothing Berserker. He attacked my face with both Boom Bots and then played Whirlwind. Then a ton of things happened.
All 8 minions took damage, buffing his Frothing Berserker up to 10/3, which gave him lethal. I emoted well played, and went to concede. Then his Boom Bots went off and both hit my Sylvanas, which killed her, which then stole his now 12/3 Frothing Berserker. I noticed this all just before I hit concede. This game is awesome. Sorry Klarrrrr!
#1 very best podcast. Keep up the good work.

Greetings, my favorite flock of chickens,
There seems to be a pattern of one neutral legendary card in each expansion being really good and becoming an autopick for most decks: Ragnaros in Classic, Loatheb in Naxx and Dr. Boom in GvG. Each of them provides great stats for its cost and has an impactful unsilenceable ability.
Do you like this trend? Do you think it will continue? What card(s) from BRM do you think follow the pattern?

Hello there outraged cock-a-doodle-doos!
Hope you guys had a great Easter! So I was on the Hearthstone Reddit and I stumbled upon something that I thought was really cool! A guy on youtube has a bunch of videos about both cards and bosses from hearthstone where he talks about the Lore of that particular character. I thought I would share it with you guys so that those who haven't played WoW (like myself) can learn the backstory of all these awesome characters! He also has videos of each wing of Naxx and he's doing videos about each wing of Blackrock Mountain as it releases as well! I have already seen all the Naxx videos and the one Blackrock mountain video so far and they are awesome! I encourage you guys to watch them! And of course there's a video with the back story of the Angry Chicken! ;) Massive credit goes to Six Gamer on youtube for making such great videos!
Enjoy guys!

Well met, PO'd poultry!
Now that we've seen the cards of two adventures and one expansion, which format do you guys prefer? I initially thought I'd vastly prefer the whole 120-card deluge of GvG, but now I'm starting to prefer the more finely-tuned aspect of the cards from adventures. Whereas with GvG Blizzard threw a bunch of shit at the wall and saw what stuck, the adventures seem to be more carefully directed at the current state of the game. Anyway, enough of my rambling...what do you prefer and why?
Absolutely love the show...keep it up!
