Ha I've heard the story kinda sucks but Emerald made it suck less. Any word on how ORAS handles the Emerald storyline stuff? | ||

And that was your first mistake. Surely you know better than to download a new version of an OS immediately. Edit: the fuck? Pokemon has a story? I thought it was all about being the best that no one ever was. | ||

A healing touch is 3 mana, and a 3/3 is definitely above the curve for 2 mana, and bundling two cards together can also be read as a 2 mana 3/3 with effect "Draw a Healing Touch". It's a very useful tech card for control decks against the super aggro decks: burn mage, hunter, and face warrior/rogue. Would definitely see it around in non-heal classes. The Coghammer is stupidly good, dayum. It's technically card efficient but its tempo is horrible, and that's honestly more important. It's the primary reason Amaz priest ran SIlence and not Owl/Spellbreaker. | ||

Which is probably fine in control decks, and in situations where you need it. | ||

The point isn't tempo, it's about keeping yourself alive against aggro.after you've retaken board control. A healing touch after Alexstraza for instance vs Freeze Mage use to allow Ramp to win the matchup much more often. | ||

Anyways my friend got Smash for WiiU today, I guess it comes with a promotional "championship belt"? So he posted a funny Facebook picture with his belt, saying like "look at my cool belt lol". And his dad posts on his status and says: Really, Dough Head? You have absolutely no idea what "cool" is. I feel extremely sorry for you. It is truly very sad. BTW, how old are you again? wtf right? Who is this asshole? And what do you say to someone when their dad is a dick? | ||

Self-heal spells are typically not worth it unless it has a good secondary benefit. Guardian of Kings is good because it comes with an almost-on-curve body. Lay on Hands is good because it refills your hand. Earthen Ring Farseer is good because it has versatility and, more importantly, is cheap. If you compare new guy to Earthen Ring, you're basically paying 2 mana for 5 health without the choice of healing your minions. That's kinda shitty (compare that to the Paladin heal). New guy is a 3/3 for 5. You're never going to want to play it turn 5 because that's not going to do much except buy you one turn. Not to mention it's also fighting against Sludge Belcher and Loatheb for the 5 drop slot. Late game, it's still shit because it eats up over half your mana pool for nothing but a 3/3. 8 life will buy you one turn; unless you can change the board state with that single turn it's not worth it. | ||

Yes, it costs 5 mana. But 1 card, 5 mana, for an 8 HP heal can be invaluable against burn decks, which is why you keep one as a tech card for non-heal classes like Shaman when faced with hunters and burn/freeze mages. It can put you out of lethal range of Druid combo on a critical turn, etc. YOU DON'T PLAY IT TURN 5, because it's not there for board control, but it keeps you alive and push you out of a lethal threshold. Is Farseer a much more versatile card? Yes, but finding room for two is very difficult in most decks currently, and one farseer isn't enough when faced with burn. Also, while yes, Farseer+Holy Light=1 HP more, it's also two cards vs one card. That's also important to realize. Again, the point is that it's a tech card, not an auto-include card by any stretch of the imagination. You play it after you've rewon board control with, for instance Shaman, and need insurance Hunter can't out-race you, or a mage can't burn you down on a critical turn or after an Alexstraza from a Warrior. Classes already running strong self-heals (Paladin, Priest) won't bat an eye at the card. But it opens up possibilities for non-heal classes. Also, the Rogue mech card is pretty good. Way better than the Paladin one. | ||
