Intro (~10 min)

Welcome to Episode 407 of Coin Concede, a Hearthstone podcast dedicated to making the competitive side of the game more accessible to you.

It is Thursday, August 3rd, 2023 in the evening!

Coming to you from Gnomeregan, Ohio, it's me, Edelweiss!

And from Northrend, Massachusetts, we have WickedGood!

And joining us from Teldrassil, California we have Magesa!

And from all around the world we have you, dear listeners.

Thanks for reviews

How's life and ladder? -

Edelweiss -

Wickedgood - Stars Align nonsense -> Mech Rogue tryharding -> Relic DH trymediuming

Magesa - full TITANS collection already (I am a whale now); watched CC hosts’ streams and played a few games of just about every archetype on the spreadsheet; J-Lock is real, fight me; faced WickedGood on ladder; Storm Giant is fun, but I don’t believe; I was probably wrong on the new DH cards, but I feel vindicated on mech rogue

J-Lock Lists:

Jaraxxus ft. Ignis: AAECAarABAiDoASFoASNtQTOkgX5xgWm+wXo/wXYgQYLgqAE56AEpZIFyOsFre0Fv+0F9fgF+vkF1/oF7f0F8YAGAAA=
Storm Giant version (but no Jaraxxus): AAECAanABAiDoASNtQTOkgX5xgWm+wXo/wXYgQbRngYLgqAE56AEyOsFre0F9fgF+vkF1/oFvvsFvfwF7f0F8YAGAAA=
More survival focused: AAECAaaaBgqDoASNtQSWtwTbuQTOkgX5xgWm+wXo/wXYgQbRngYKgqAE56AEyOsFre0Fv+0F9fgF+vkF1/oF7f0F8YAGAAA=
