The Top 5 List Thread

3. I know how to play the damn game - stuff like Shadowreaper Anduin + Raza the Chained, or anything that lets a player with 1 hitpoint left beat an opponent with 30 hitpoints in a single turn, just shouldn't exist

I don't know anything about Hearthstone really, but applying MtG theory on this it sounds like a normal combo deck? Not sure what's the problem. It's one of the three classic archetypes (aggro, combo, control). Sure it can feel bad for the opponent but it's just card game theory 101. Life is just a resource. Life only matters when you are at zero, if you can use that to your advantage and prolong the game long enough to essemble your combo why not? It's only a problem if there aren't any counter plays to the combo or if it is faster than any answer. Maybe this is the problem?

Yeah, it is not an unbeatable deck. Due to the way Hearthstone is structured it requires two cards that are one ofs in a 30 card deck. Raza restricts you to playing a singleton deck that inherently makes you have to fill your deck with bad cards that are only used to cantrip to increase your ability to get the combo pieces.

It is beat on by decks that cheat in big minions either through ramp or specific cards that allow minions to be put into play through 'graveyard' shenanigans or minions with an effect that plays a minion directly from your deck at EOT. Aggro can also hit it fast enough that it can't get to the combo turns sometimes.

It isn't as bad feeling to lose to as Quest Rogue did last expansion at least.

Top 5 Trivium full lengths:

1. Ascendancy
2. Shogun
3. In Waves
4. Silence in the Snow
5. Ember to Inferno

This will probably change after I give the new album a few more listens

Revised list because I like triggering you all:

1. Ascendancy
2. Silence in the Snow
3. The Sin and the Sentence
4. In Waves
5. Shogun

Trivium is legit one of the best metal bands 'formed' post-2000 (even though it says 1999 on M-A, they didn't release an album until 2003 so that's why I'm saying this)

 

[EspaDa]

Silence in the Snow in the second place is plain wrong.

 

[The Ozzman]

Silence in the Snow in the second place is plain wrong.

You're so convincing

Top 5 categories of people who should get the gas chamber:

1) Flat Earthers
2) People who drive slowly in the fast lane
3) People who vape (a majority of them anyway. Nice knowing you, @Black Orifice )
4) Anti Vaxxers
5) People who chew with their mouth open and aren't cognizant of it

 

[HamburgerBoy]

If you a "not a morning person" it's probably because you're a degenerate with poor self-control. People that have problems with morning people should get into Mengele's operating room so that we may learn the specific mode of this affliction and hopefully sanitize the world of it.
