I do keeping drawing the guys who quit the draft though so at least I got a free pack out of it, and some fun promo cards (and theoretically made my money back in mythics/rares). I may do one more after Iris on Tuesday because I think the promo period ends as of Wednesday. We'll see how badly my confidence stays shattered. At least I'm still good at Isaac | ||

Shoulda gone UB huh? __ @WoT comments, I like Perrins character. It definately is the one I connect the most with, and if i set myself in the WoT world, I'd at best be him, at worst a corrupted noble or other worst a dead farmer. | ||

Nah, I don't really play control decks. It's not that I can't its just that I lose patience in them and playing them for 9 rounds is so much more thought than I want to put into a saturday. I've only "mained" Cawblade as a control deck because that was just so powerful that if you were any other deck you were just food for the Blade. | ||

I was thinking more of some of the female authors I've read instead of a typical male/female fantasy so confused me. As for WoT, I enjoyed it years ago but I think stopped at 7 or 8. How are the Sanderson books? I've read his own works and find them pretty fun light reads. | ||

I think she is similar to Bat/Tide in that her kit is so good overall, that nerfs are almost pointless to her, she will always be relevant, except against high magic damage teams. | ||

Saturday we had breakfast with the family and then went to see Cary Elwes talk about his new book. We even got a signed copy and met him, which was pretty cool! I told him that we were there for Princess Bride, but to me he'd always be Robin of Locksley, which he laughed at. And it included a screening of the movie too, which was great. Then we went to her parent's place for early Chinese New Year Eve dinner which was like 6 types of meat, various noodles, fish, and delicious plants - all of which I ate with much gusto. Next week we go back for New Years dinner :D Sunday we went wedding dress shopping. And by wedding dress shopping I mean we went to a fabric store because my soon to be wife is making her own dress because she's amazing like that. Then my sister helped us wedding plan and we just hung around after she left. All in all, very fun and relaxing. If you asked me a couple years ago if I would have fun spending the weekend shopping and visiting people without playing any games, I would have laughed at you. Now, I can't imagine time I would enjoy more. Funny, how those things work. | ||

(You're not allowed to reply "Still much less than Arc Warden" Yango.) Hmm I'm not too sold. I think she may be like Oracle in that she fits in a organized team a lot better. Her spells are all pretty nice but rather high mana cost and not giving flying vision is pretty big difference to bat. In the current meta of picking purely physical damage lineups than I think she's pretty strong but when she gets put into CM who knows what'll it be like. Seems really weak tri-lane support as well. I imagine her as a dual lane with a jungler maybe but her jungle farming potential is also pretty weak it looks like. Could be wrong. | ||

She is a defensive lane support, so you would have someone like Omni/Rubick/VS/whoever do the pulling/stacking while she zones people. I think her kit is fine, maybe a little mana intensive, but that's easily fixed with mana boots/a soul ring, which isn't hard to get. I guess you could make her the pulling support while the other zones the enemy offlaner to allow her to get some quick levels/farm and then switch her into a 5 role after she has mana boots. | ||
