It is weird though that I still love to eat a ridiculous amount, I've done fairly well controlling it but there is always this part of me that wants to go nuts and just eat everything. Exercise, study and games take my mind off it but if I find myself doing none of those three it is always on my mind

In the Naxx HS shit, anybody know if I can choose which wings I want to spend my gold on?

Or I'm forced to go in order? Now that they show me which wings give what card, feel like there's ones I can definitely skip/wait out on.

You will eventually want all of them, simply because you can't unlock the next wing without having the prior one. Wings 2 4 and 5 have some of the best cards, but you should eventually just get all of them.

There are going to be some silly shaman decks with a turn 10 Kel'Thuzad reincarnate plays. end of turn have 2 Kel'thuzads can't kill one without killing the other in the same turn or it just comes back. if you get another reincarnate you end up with 4. lol

This is a completely hypothetical situation that will almost never come to pass simply because you're goal at 10 mana in the game is to just kill them. Not make an "Army" of sustainable dudes that gets blown the fuck out by, Poison Seeds, Mass Dispel, Silence, Spellbreakers, Ironbeak Owls, MOTHER FUCKING BARON GEDDON. There is a massive list of cards that just aboslutely crap on that "Combo's" day.

I know better than to get into an argument with you or tell you you're wrong, but the only people who should be doing something along those line are people who are "Living the Dream."

Alright, I'm back gaiz.

Been gone way too long from TL QQ. Also DA: Origins, since Inquisition is coming out and I hope it's better than DA2.

Silences and hard removals are gaining value and importance this patch. Priests will gain an advantage with Mass Dispel being bonkers against effect-heavy decks, as will Hex/Polymorph.

The fact Shaman will hopefully have more options than the boring mid-range control decks which are all fundamentally the same at their core is a hopeful sign (do you want a bloodlust finisher or a windfury finisher? does it really matter?).

But in any event, the main issue with that kind of play is that Shaman has very few major hard removal targets (vurrent Shaman is Al'Akir, Two Fire Eles sorta, ???; everything else is dealt with via board control and AoE), which means you're going to need to see Shaman decks dramatically retailor the core of their decks to incorporate such a combo.

The heroic bosses were annoying. Not in a "hard" way, just that they were making such bad plays, even with the decks they had. Anub'Rekhan did not know how to play against doomsayers, dear lord. Keep flooding the board and going for face, ya...


Easymode guide to beating the heroic bosses:
1) Anub: standard freeze mage [he's all about board control and pumping out ridiculous amounts of large minions]
2) Faerlina: standard zoolock [empties your hand too fast for her hero power to be bonkers; any kind of control deck will suffer against her because 1 mana Avenging Wraths holy sh-], but her deck was by far the most annoying to deal with. Those worshippers mang.
3) Merblablah: modified freeze mage (voodoos, Elvens, farseers instead of heavy card draw like Acolytes) or modified control Warrior [same principles: make his hero power help you by allowing you to stall for days, then Alexstraza, combo, dead; make his board fill up with useless 1/1s and stall for a couple turns through mass heals]
Alexstraza da best, when dealing with 45 HP targets. Except when it's all armor zzzzz.

But see above for the easy-mode guide for the heroics. If you don't have Alex, charges on Merblahblah can work in addition to the heals/elvens on, say, a warrior. You have two avenues: you can either use the free shadowsteps to kill him, or just run him out of cards, because his deck quality is really low minus the occasional sea giant.

With Anub, just play a deck that either ignores board control altogether (freeze mage).

I beat the normals with a lightwarden priest deck I wanted to try for shits and giggles.


Agreed.

That homophone tho.

Grats on the weigiht loss, awesome progress!

Also, I'm surprised no one responded to me (or else I missed it but pretty sure I've read every response): I haven't played Smash since I was a Junior in high school but Captain Falcon has always been my guy. Who do I watch to learn the ways of the Falcon?
