The Top 5 List Thread

[zabu of nΩd]

Still playing Hearthstone. Gotten over the Raza Shadowreaper thing. Here's my favorite cards I use in ranked play now:

1. Carnivorous Cube (love the new Cube Warlock archetype, and the choice to go aggro by duplicating Doomguard or anti-aggro with Voidlord)
2. Defile (fun to set up combo kills with, especially if I can drop a spell damage minion first)
3. Alexstrasza (fun having a choice between halving the opponent's health before a big attack or restoring my own)
4. Dragoncaller Alanna (filling the board with 5/5 minions once the opponent's run out of good cards is so satisfying)
   
5. Skulking Geist (fuck Jade Druid)

 

[Vegard Pompey]

My favorite card when I played was Shadowform, even though it was total garbage (and I assume it still is.)

 

[Phylactery]

Shadowreaper Anduin changes the hero power to Shadowform, except every time you play a card it is refreshed so it’s way better. Can be comboed with Raza that makes the hero power cost 0 mana. Might interest you to play the game again. The problem with Hearthstone is that it’s terrible for new players because grinding for gold when you have a shitty collection of cards is awful and it’s the only way to get new cards other than dropping real money on the game.

Emperor Thaurissan was my favourite card for a long time, even though it enabled dumb one shot combos.

1. In His Lovely Kingdom
3. (Birth of Evil) Virgin Sin

Are these such great tracks? I generally heard lukewarm opionions on Goatlord.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Goatlord is the opposite of a lukewarm album. Either you're a man of taste and love its ambition and weird twisty songwriting, or you're a pussy and can't handle the production and Fenriz's beautiful womanly vocals, but it's an album that seems hard to be lukewarm on.

It's a love/hate album.
