Strategy

More Old Gods Reveals

Shadowbeast is not a Beast

You cannot cast a spell from Cho'gall if it would kill you, you cannot pay the health cost.

This has been tested to keep Opponent turn length at 75 seconds.

40 Spells is the cap. 80 with Brann.

Extensive Yogg clarifications


Bonus: Summoning Stone Deck Lance mentioned on our last Hangout episode

Right now it's a pretty controlled based deck that suffers a bit against aggro decks but I'm looking to make it more mid-range oriented. Criticisms are always welcome. http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/470820-summon-savagery

Hello TAC crew!

As it's the start of the season, I'm just messing around with silly decks before settling into some hardcore grinding. I decided to try a full legendary deck, using Warlock since it has decent class legendaries and a great hero power.

My very first game pairs me up against another Warlock. I started with Sir Finley and he starts playing what is clearly Zoo. I thought it was going to be over pretty quickly, but I managed to hold out with Brann and Elise tanking some damage for me. Turn 5 I drop Feugan to help control the board AND I had Stalagg in hand. My opp used Imp-plosion to shut me down, but I wasn't taking damage so I didn't mind. Using Justicar and coin'd Arch Thief (taking timepieces) I've beat him down to 8 health, actually thinking this is winnable. He clears my board, so I think I'm in trouble.....I draw Baron Rivendare! I drop him along with Stalagg and hope for glory. For some reason....and I still don't know why....my opp drops Thaurissan! I crash my Stalagg and two beautiful Thadius appear! I drop Boom for good measure. BGH takes down one Thadius and then he plays belcher. Knowing I have the game in the bag, I finish him the best way I know....Boom hits the first part of Belcher, Timepieces makes the rest of the board go away, and I go Thadius to face! Although my opp concedes before my Thaddius connects, it’s still a crazy game story!

Love the show, thank you guys for all the great content, keep it up!!

Yo Garruck, Jocyluck and Duck,

That was all your names clucked by a chicken. Anyway, wouldn't it be cool if they released expansions in the future that ventured into their other games? With how crazy the lore is getting why stick to Warcraft? I'd be super down for a Diablo-themed expansion.

Hi Angry Chicken hosts and all you other cluckers!

A comment Dills made last week on c'thun and its associated cards not exciting him got me thinking, and I realised I agreed with him! To me it at this moment in time it seems like a deck which will have a low amount of diversity and require less skill to play. I think this could be intentional!

Blizzard have been talking for a while about considering new players coming on board and providing accessibility for players who don't have anywhere near the amount of cards or experience that longtime players do. By giving c'thun for free with this expansion it creates a place to start for veteran players and newcomers alike. I imagine as a player's skill increases, they'll want to try new things out but c'thun is a great jumping off point and makes them feel like they belong. I imagine c'thun will be an easy deck to counter, but could still provide epic wins on the lower to mid stages of the ladder, perhaps with a greater slice of luck then other harder to pilot decks.

Thanks for reading, keep up the amazing work, and keep on clucking!

Hello Livid Leghorns,

I am a casual player whose enthusiasm for the ladder has dried up while I wait for Standard (there is only so many times you can spend an afternoon making Murloc Taunt Warrior then watching it blow up on the launchpad at rank 20).

This means I have been playing more arena!

My question is this - when you guys discuss cards Dills often says "this is good/bad for arena.”

Could you explain the criteria?

Love the show, if I didn't live in England I would be buying tickets for CreateCon.
