 I can get behind that, it's similar to what has happened to hearthstone. I don't understand what's changing with the expansion, do you mean that the expansion itself is going to be a huge limiter to control decks (because it'll feature stronger finishers for midrange decks)? Or that shadow creep is a limiter for other control decks? | ||

The expansion is changing how shadow creep works. Right now shadow creep deals damage at the end of your turn equal to the number of shadow creep tiles. Shadow Nova, the key spell, creates a 2x2 square of shadow creep tiles. Put 3 of those in your deck, combine it with the hero power and other creep cards and that means that no one can play a deck slower than yours because it's impossible to heal through 3x shadow nova cast on your hero's face, plus stuff like the 6/6 rush minion you mentioned (you only get 25 hp and to heal through that would require ridiculously OP heals). To their credit the devs realized that this design would severely limit future shadow creep cards, so they're changing it. After the expansion shadow creep will always do 1 damage but there are other synergy cards that will do AoE damage around shadow creep tiles and stuff like that. So once that is changed shadow creep won't be able to nuke heros so hard and as a result some new slower decks may crop up. | ||

In another, I can understand: you can kill somebody by turn X for sure if you're lucky enough (and I guess here a limitation of the "no instants/counterspells" compared to Magic shows), and even if you moved the spell's cost up, it'd only delay turn X by 1 or 2, while making Shadow Nova unusable for other purposes, especially in faster decks or as an AoE clear vs clumped-up small minions (like, say, an aggro deck). So by design, they can't really keep it as is because the game doesn't have the levers to tweak it. | ||

First I get rear ended on the way to work. No damage to either car, just a little tap because traffic stopped on an off ramp and I was the caboose. Then I got stuck in the parking garage elevator. Thankfully I got unstuck. Finally I realized I'd left my ID badge at home. :sigh: | ||

Anyone tried out Heroes of the Storm lately? I've heard good things from people who have stuck with it, but I dunno if I'm ready to jump into another MOBA, even one that's as relatively different as HotS. | ||

Not the worst but not optimistic. Going to see kingglave tonight. It'll probably be terrible, but I'll like it. | ||

I think I'd convince the Otter to move to Cali if I got an offer from Blizzard, but honestly I don't think I have anything outstanding enough on my resume yet to even be considered. What were you going for, design? | ||

They were trying to get someone in so they can move the current guy to another position. The job is basically what I'm doing now. But with weekends off. I'm OK with that. No offer yet, just gotta check back every once in awhile I guess. | ||

If you open Pariah (well, pick the conspiracy you open, then get passed Pariah), can you attach Ghostly Possession and Pariah to a big-butt creature and stop blocking, as it'll always take whatever combat damage is dealt to you, prevent it to itself, and protect your monarch status and stuff? Then you'd draft some big butts to survive most burn, and a bunch of Gods Willing to protect said creature from other destroy/burn (I guess non-targeted -X/-X or deal "X damage to all creatures" effects would still work though, and W and G commons can destroy auras (and contrary to standard drafts, you don't sideboard these in Conspiracy I assume)), and it's impossible to take the monarch away/kill you through combat? BW still seems a risky archetype... props to you if you pull it off, but "Monarch matters" archetype is painting a bullseye on your face, "whenever I activate my payoff cards, I give you the opportunity to draw; the solution to both? Punch me!" The power difference between the creatures is so high Green seems to feel pretty safe, especially since sure, spot removal is stronger with Murder at common, but you're not the only opponent at the table so if each of your creatures is dangerous, they'll have to let some live... the caveat is that going wide (especially with melee creatures) means that having a couple fatties isn't actually much deterrence from wide, pumped attacks. | ||

Think I'm gonna pass on posting it in here. Alas it's not hilarious harem stories anymore. We all wish it were I know. But if anybody is interested, PM me and I'll pass it to you. | ||
