I have never spoke against a deck since this game has existed. I tolerated all the overpowered bullshit through out the years, and I never thought there would be a deck that would piss me off more than Ultimate Infestation Jade druid, when they ramp on curve and you can't find that damned geist. Even then, I didn't say anything because I was "Unlucky" for not finding it.
But that's the past, and now we have a deck that CANNOT be countered since you don't know what type of RNG bullshit they will pull off. And no, this is not the same RNG like every other meta. This is RNG that is GUARANTEED to high roll every single time in your opponent's favor. Every turn feels like hell against a turn 2 deck of lunacy, regardless of your class and deck archetype.
"Just play Priest 4Head." Sure, that's what I did. Tell me though, what can you do against "MAGE" that has more OTK potential than DH OTK, has more card draw than tempo rogue, has more board control than warlock and warrior, and out values any other control deck at the moment.
Oh and it gets better when they get a skull of gul'dan into the mix. Never thought I would see a turn where they draw half their deck, OTKs me from full health, thanks to TWO 3 mana nagrand slams from the skull (Early incanter's flow), into 1 mana refreshing spring, into TWO 1 mana fireballs. Would you look at that, doesn't even need his masks of C'thun to end the job or the bullshit spell damage minions for that extra 1-2 damage.
We usually say "Clownfiesta" as sarcasm or a joke or "E-sports" when RNG decides the game. But this, this is LITERAL "Clownfiesta."

The amount of people putting words into the mouths of people that just want to see actual proof or hearing both sides before lynching this man is disgusting.
YOU THINK ALL WOMEN LIE ABOUT THIS
YOU JUST DONT BELIEVE HER BECAUSE YOURE SEXIST
Everyone deserves due process. Theres a reason its innocent until proven guilty.
To people that want to believe this at face value with zero proof that dont understand how bad the alternative is. Let me introduce you to something I think you might like. It's called a lynch mob.
I guess you also don't play Rogue, because it only has relatively strong female character portraits?
That is a stupid line of reasoning... "Don't trust them crazy womens, them be the devils with their talks and maybe thems even lie!"
How about that: Don't suffocate people or give them the feeling to be unsafe around you? As many other people said here before, statistically speaking, these acusations are usually not lies. If you actually watched the video you can see (or for you its maybe better to say you see strong hints?) that she is obviously in much distress just talking about it. And you completely ignore the fact, that for her right now its not just going gravy as well, as it often does for the women who go public with their acusations of public figures, as she put herself, adding to the distress the situation/relationship she described caused her, in the middle of this debate as well, getting hate from..... well guys like you I guess.
I was running Dead Ringer in my deck to try and draw them but it wasn't enough, maybe loot hoarder or insight would be good additions? Also I found Teron Gorefiend was really powerful after a rally
There is really no clean way to make an informed statement here. Statistics tell us that false accusations are incredibly rare so really, if you don't decide from the start which side you believe to tell the truth, that's the closest you can come to the truth.
Going through the comments on this, I feel like this part should be added to every article like this...

The thing is, in this specific case, Zalae just hasn't really defended himself and it honestly looks like he was just waiting for it to all go away if he just didn't address it. And if you look at alleged victim and abuser's mannerisms, the allegations seem like they... fit. The way zalae presents himself on stream looks less and less like a played character and more of a state of mind. He shows zero empathy, displays very arrogant patterns of interaction with chat and constantly pushes himself to be fitter and more efficient. Meanwhile Rini in her video is fidgety, nervous, intimidated and still somehow worried about Zalae (as in, instead of showing a desire to hurt him or his career, she voices concern about him and his issues).
Taking everything about their profiles into account, Rini's account makes sense. It all fits and if you scroll through the comments, you find a lot of people who know Zalae's mannerisms be entirely unsurprised.
So yeah, personally? I usually believe the victim. And in this case I just also feel very confident in believing the victim.
Well put. Rini has also repeatedly said that she doesn't want to "cancel" Zalae not to hurt his career but she felt she had to speak up to give herself some peace of mind and bring awareness of his abusive behavior to his current girlfriend. If she was somehow making anything of this up, she could be going after him way harder.
I still find it baffling how so many people find it hard to empathize with the victim who took the immense courage to speak up that they would believe that the probability of the victim acting as a manipulative abuser who is just trying to ruin someone's career is the same as the abuse allegations being true. I understand that there is always a possibility of something like that actually being true, but bringing that small possibility up as an equally valid argument is simply insensitive and illogical, especially after hearing the story and comparing how the two involved parties present themselves to the public.

I've had the "Play 10 Frost spells" quest twice and both times it hasn't counted how many frost spells I've played correctly. For example, I just played a game in the Tavern Brawl as mage and it reckons I only played 3, however I definitely played more than that.
Has anyone else had the same problem? I'd imagine the bug exists for the other spell school quests as well.
This has the same issue as the whole metoo thing. It's good that abusers and rapists face punishment for their actions, as these people usually just get off the hook easy in a court of law due to a lack of evidence. On the other hand, people no longer get judged in the court of law, they get judged in the court of public opinion now. All it takes is for one person to say something about you and bam, your life is ruined, even if they were lying and malicious in their intent. It turns into a she said he said and the accused person generally ends up being ostracized regardless of circumstances. But unless people just carry voice recording devices on them at all times there really is no other way to flush out the abusers than to speak out. In an ideal world, none of this would be necessary because people would be fucking reasonable. But I won't pretend I have any understanding of what motivates abusers to do what they do. One would think you get into a relationship because you care about the other person, but what do I know. From what I can tell being sane is going out of fashion fast.
My apologies, about the language. I respect your stance on this topic as its surprisingly not that far off of mine, I do believe she is most likely telling the truth, Just couldn’t wrap my head around potentially ruining this man’s life without 100% evidence, I hope thats not something too outrageous.
I wish nothing but the best for the victim, whoever that might be in this situation.
Based on L0rinda's stats pretty much everyone brought Mage, Paladin, and Rogue so bardozan might be agonizingly close to truth there. But everyone should still watch the streams for at least the 4 hours that give you the two packs.
We are still stuck with the annoying watch posts though. Although I doubt they will do something about though, because it's the flavour of the expansion.
