On a side note, Aegislash got banned from OU by Smogon by a tiny margin for the supermajority vote. But my lovely flawless Aegislash can still beat up Gym Leaders and the E4 hehehe. Meanwhile everyone be runnin Talonflame and such and I'm just like dude.. talonflame. Without knowing what he said I can't and won't judge but if it was something to cross the line(which it did) he should know better o-o | ||

If I'm insulting all people of the Jewish religion, which is what wei2coolman did (jesus bless him) then I'm not racist either. I know you just being lulz but how does one separate Jewish people and Jewish religion? It seems so odd to have same word for both heritage and religion. | ||

I stalked a few of the top rated players in XY OU and none of them are running Talonflame. It makes sense since Talonflame has mediocre Attack stats and would probably be UU or lower if it wasn't for Galewings giving it priority. It's also why it's so often run as Choice Band + Adamant + 252 EVs since you want it to actually put dents in things. As such it's also very predictable. When you see Talonflame you know exactly what it's going to do and can prepare appropriately. Also don't underestimate its 4x Stealth Rock weakness. Restricting its ability to switch in freely means it's much easier to deal with and it has no recovery options if it has Roost. But then it's not a CB variant so it doesn't hurt as hard and is less of a threat. Just like in other games like Hearthstone, it's all about managing threats correctly.

Tommorow we'll be calling people who hate gays sexist or something and the entire english vocabulary will be chaos. Anti-Semitism isn't racism, it's different. I don't see terminology here being an issue. You learn and move on. Terrible posting however is far less of a simple problem. | ||

Its neat that if you buff it with a timberwolf or something like that you can get a guaranteed 2 for 1 early in game by killing something with it, and then getting the 31st card out of it as well. | ||

Antisemitism in an all encompassing word that encompasses the religion, race, and nation of jews (generally considered Israel). Racism would only encompass the race, Hebrews only in this case. Not all jews are Hebrews. You can't actually be racist vs Christians as Christianity is a religion. They don't have an actual "race" unlike some jews which might be Hebrews. You can be discriminatory, or "anti-Christian," against the religion, it's church, and it's people who practice the Christian religion, but all of those are religion based and not considered race. | ||

Any thing I should look for after I've finished unlocking stuff? Also, I tried to watch Hafu and trump cast some tournament, but the spectator mode in hearthstone is confusing as hell. It shouldn't swap to whatever players turn it is to play being on the bottom, that's so weird and makes it hard to follow. | ||

Yeah hearthstone spectating is so freakin odd to me. Everyone does it differently and each time you gotta adjust. Did they put in an actual spectator mode yet? They should look into it if not, just so the scene which is actually starting to get interesting thanks to naxx cards. I have a few random adamant torchics with speed boost. If anyone wants um let me know or else I'm wonder trading them this evening. | ||
