I used to think shadow word pain was good because it insta kills shieldmasters. Now I realize the only thing it does is kill shieldmasters and crusaders.

It also kills Argent Commanders if you play it with Crazed Alchemist!

More relevantly, it kills Acolytes of Pain without triggering the draw.

even though the argent commander gets a 1 for 1 the turn its played like 99% of the time anyway so its still not efficient

its really gimmicky, its useful for killing a few things but most of the time it becomes an average card

It kills a bunch of 3-drops too, it kills Violet Teachers, etc.
It's not that bad really. 4 is a lot, but that's mad tempo in the early game. Too bad I don't have much late apart from 2 temple enforcers. :x

I wouldn't be surprised in the next expansion of cards they release a curse battlecry that's the opposite of the dark iron dwarf/ abusive sergeant for more synergy there, and just for trading too.

I feel like SW

doesn't really give you tempo... am I thinking of this wrong...

SWD isn't tempo, it's removal. It's purpose is to KILL not delay. You gain MOMENTUM from Removal, and TEMPO from Bounce/Freeze.

It does suck hard against ironbark protector.

I lost my 8-8 Lightspawn right that turn so had nothing to trade.
And Druid of the Claw + cultmaster ruined me too, along with the 2 Wraths, 2 KotG, the starfire, etc. He also had 2 swipes, 2 power of the wild, 2 stormwind knight...
I only got one of 4 shadow words, none of the 2 temple enforcers, no power word: shield, no min control, and my draft didn't have anything like Holy Nova, so all in all I was utterly fucked, no way to trade up. Welp, can't win them all, and can't trade at all against all that removal and taunts when you've got none.

Hunter is utterly retarded though it turns out. Can't have enough shadow words to deal with Highmane and double UtH, welp. Even Sunwalker + Mogushan + Taz'dingo note enough to stall.
And Coin+Pint-sized summoner is harsh if you don't have 1-drops, damn.

Years of reading articles about how "Recent discoveries show ____ will actually give you canceraids and you will DIE" has taught me the healthiest thing to do is to eat nothing.

It's taught me to give less than 0 fucks and just eat tasty things while also hitting all the food groups.

The thing with commercial orange juice is that it's processed to hell and back. They deoxygenate it for longevity and preservation, which makes it lose color and nutrients. So then they need to put color and nutrients back artificially (so it sells), and ass tons of sugar for flavor.

The healthiest thing to do is to not associate oneself with you. You are cancerous and toxic.

I am not a smart man, I thought it would be a quick patching cycle for me to play TESO...I'm only on the second patch I've missed...and there's at least another 2gb+ patch after the current one I think...Since I'm only at 9% with 1gb to download left on this one...

Oh well, Bravery Default time I guess.

I supplement with Vit D capsules during the winter. It's pretty cheap. 6-10k IU a morning.
