Good for them! If there's packs in it for watching I will hire a camel and trek over otherwise the desert shall be, well, deserted (or close to it anyway).
Taunt Warrior is so insane...
I can't really spot a weakness in that deck, it can even pressure early on!
Anyway, unlike the past spoiling party, this event is cool, and it's performed just 1d away of release.
I <3 the Jean Claude Van Damme stance that Reno is doing! lol
That deathrattle tempo priest :o
But none of these people know you exist, so how can they rub it in your face
Blizzard missed an opportunity in this event to involve the playing community in a choose-your-champion style contest. It's nice that they're providing swag to the big streamers, but really just missed the mark on what this even could have been.
Separate Team Nemsy, because why settle for the lesser of two evils?
Gul'dan will not stand for this slap in the face! Both teams are DOOMED!
may only use Priest, Rogue, Shaman, and Warrior classes.
may only use Druid, Hunter, Mage, and Paladin.
Press F for Warlock
Omni/ conspiracy... They are behind both EVIL and LoE
They play both sides, so that they always come out on top.
Brian "Please don't call me 'Brian "Brian Kibler" Kibler'" Kibler
Isn't it too short???
What should we call Brian Kibler then?
The Guy Shamelessly Pimping His Dog
The Cute Dog, The Drinking Goofy Wife, and the Nerd Husband Playing a Kid's Card Video Game YouTube Show Host
Brian "Crap Deck Magician" Kibler (Because you watch Kibler win with this stuff and then try these decks, only to find you suck with them)
Brian "The Seducer Who Makes You Waste Dust on Bad Decks" Kibler
The Guy Formerly Known for Dragons and Magic the Gathering, Kibler
Brian "QUEST ROGUE RAGE" Kibler (the only time I've seen Kibler salt and Hulk out toward his opponent)
/I keed, Kibler is one of the better Hearthstone acts that isn't a Canadian/Romanian vegan
//Kibler vs. Kripp is like Hearthstone's Ultimate Warrior vs. Hulk Hogan matchup
Any Twitch drops for this?
Your reward will be the honor you feel to serve! Wait a minute, who's giving me packs to yell at this guy?
I can tell you that... FOR PACKS!
HE WHO CONTROLS THE PACKS CONTROLS THE WORL
Doubt it
