TBH that kind of "randomly getting screwed by a better deck" is also a problem of the format. Overall card quality of peoples' decks is far more normalized when everyone gets to toss the bottom 50% of the cards they picked as is the case with MtG's pick 42, use ~20 draft formats. You get more extreme variations in card quality when people have to play 100% of the cards they picked.

The other side of it is that a format that heavily emphasizes card quality over cohesive deck construction is bound to be subject to players getting lucky based on picking better cards. This IS true of Arena, and is a point that it emphasized by quite a few good players--in Arena, you are usually going to just pick the better card (Trump being the biggest proponent of this). When you don't, it's usually for mana curve considerations and very rarely for deck archetype considerations.

The MtG equivalent of this is a core set draft that has weak archetyping and is therefore usually considered to be a poor draft format. Again, it is understandable that the base card set will behave like this, and it's a problem that should solve itself when additional cards are added to the pool. But we have to at least worry a bit about the base format promoting this kind of safe, overly card quality-focused drafting.

ASKY is just abbreviating what MakNooN says to Shy. Shy says "If you like someone, try to confess your feelings to him/her". Then MakNooN gives him that ASKY paper, which is: (A)n (S)eng (K)yuh (Y)o = It's not going to show. MakNooN's basically saying "Yeah right, like you're going to get a girlfriend" and afterwards says "We gotta practice" implying they don't have time for girls. Shy's just like "fuk u"

Arena's fair, it's just boring as fuck after a few drafts, because by and large you're drafting so many of the same safe picks every time.

It's honestly the biggest barrier for me in HS. In order to earn enough cards to play with things better than Yetis in constructed, I have to play with Yetis for hours and hours in Arena.

Eh? Yeti are like the first card I kick out when I find a nice 4 drops to integrate in the deck.

Holy fuck Paladins have such good free class cards when you started with shit like Rogue and Warlock D: My curve is so weird compared to the rest, so many 4-drops. Probably my highest winrate on leveling with Mage and Warrior.

Soooo I "hacked" into my brother's old steam account. If I buy a game from there, or gift him a game from my account, will it send him an email? It says the email that is connected to it is unverified.

I didn't mean Yeti in particular, I'm using the term to refer broadly to boring midrangy neutral commons that are both among the first cards you will use for constructed and are overly common picks in draft.

"Yetis" encompasses shit like SSC, Dark Iron Dwarf, Gnomish Inventor, etc.

Could be worse. Could be hunter. Literally the only worthwhile cards hunter has is the removal, weapons. and secrets.

If somebody gives you a list, you get something from the list.

I have a similar issue, from your sisters side. My parents ask me what I want all the time, and I don't really have an answer because they won't want to get those things, so I just say to give me money. Then they throw a fit that it's insulting to just give somebody money.

No, what's insulting is being asked what I want as a gift, then being told what I want is insulting for me to receive.

I got stuff off the list, but like for my parents I put a lot of thought into it and got something that I know will make them happy and surprise them, and for my sister it's like "hey here's a DVD and a Camelbak because they were on your list, not like you didn't know exactly what you were going to get".

One thing I got for my parents was a magnetic bottle opener that you stick on the fridge. Pretty OP for a Czech family. Also got my dad AoE2HD since we grew up playing that together and we haven't played a game together in like 5 years :/ I know the HD version isn't the best but w.e

I looked at the Hunter cards less than 10 minutes ago to level it. Started including Beasts... looked at the rest of the class cards... removed all of them.

hunter has pretty good removal spells at least
just run multi shot+deadly shot+the flame shot thing+a standard good neutral deck

These secrets are so good wtf. o_o
Got to use all 4 of them in my first game, against a mage. I didn't think the "when your hero is attacked" one would be very useful, but they potentially made me win the game after I ate a Pyroblast to the face (mage with crafted/"pack'd" cards vs level 1 Hunter, welp).
Since I have a somewhat low mana curve and have learnt not to get baited into Flamestrike it makes it easy to fit some hero power shots in, too, helps a bunch to counteract his board clearing.

Secrets feel pretty satisfying to play too, since they're the only interaction you can have outside of your turn.

The sniping secret probably sucks versus Shaman or Paladin though.
Edit: nvm it doesn't get triggered by their hero powers.

A mage suicided trying to attack me. :3
(Well I had 14 HP and it was his last action with a 7-7, while he only had 2 HP left so I'd won either way, but it was fun seeing the secret finish the match.)
