Very cool! 

I've been curious as to how the heck Flux can figure out things like BoH release order, or upcoming quests from the game data, but I assumed it's a trade secret, so I never tried to ask. They're not in the strings files. I've tried a couple different Unity extractors, but there's just so much, and I don't know where to start. Maybe if I was familiar with Unity.

I have VS 2019 on my "gaming rig," but it's also the only Windows machine I have.

I reached Legend for the first time. I've been #1 rank several times but never got into Legend territory. Anyway, it was with face hunter, not exactly a brag deck and not a deck I normally play -- I just switched to it while I was waiting for payday to buy the mini set.

Hey, congrats! A Face Hunter deck got me my first legend last summer. I had kind of the same feeling as you did about "not exactly a brag deck," but you know what, you still had to make a lot of good decisions on what to mulligan for and when to play specific cards to plow through the "real" decks in the hands of the high diamond/low legend players you probably faced on the way to legend, so be proud.

Does anyone know what the algorithm looks for when giving you any specific option?

Pretty cool interaction.  I mostly play on my mobile so I lose out on the ability to do a lot because of screen space, but things like this make me want to play desktop

Have you had a match where a player drops out early but, instead of falling to 0 HP, they're just permanently locked at their current HP? It's happened to me twice in the past week or so. They keep their player portrait on the sidebar but are Kel Thu'zad during battles. It's not just a visual glitch, they rank above me at the end and knock me down a place. Battlegrounds has always been a broken mess but this is just ridiculous IMO. 

Great idea and write up. I'll definitely try this one later today. 

Also, thanks for triggering some fun memories. My kids used to sing and dance to this song when they were toddlers. 

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater!

For sure,  I always try to keep work and home separate (even while working from home lol).  Also, your second point is so true, there's always someone willing to do it for free on Reddit.

I've been offered the 2/35 bundle, which sucks as I've got a complete collection of DMF cards. I'd take the wild deal in a heartbeat, as I'm missing cards from all of them.

I touch on the Silence aspect of Horrendous Growth in the Budget / Alternate Options section! Unsleeping Soul acts like a cheaper Faceless Manipulator that comes with the added benefit of removing Freeze! Y'Shaarj, the Defiler adds the most Corrupted Horrendous Growths that you play back to you hand. This is also true for Raise Dead or resurrect effects, which use whatever version of Horrendous Growth died. Like sinti pointed out, each Corrupt version is its own distinct card and technically not a buffed version of the base Horrendous Growth.

Strongman is certainly a good defensive Corrupt card, but the issue is that prior or Dark Inquisitor Xanesh or drawing it off of Insight, there isn't really a way to Corrupt it in this deck. If you slot in something like Plague of Death it becomes a lot better, but without adjustments Strongman doesn't have a place in the deck.

The answer shouldn’t be limited, but the riddle-giving could be

That's what iI'm talking about

There were other Redditors who encountered it in the past, but no one bothered themselves to report it. Why? I don't know, perhaps people are just too lazy.

I'm a software engineer BTW, and I absolutely could have debugged anything myself, but... I do stuff like this too much as a part of my job. I then just decided to pass that tedious work to someone else. Also partly because I'm unfamiliar with Unity and don't want to taint my gaming rig with debugging tools.

It seems one always could find a willing volunteer on Reddit.

I scored my first flawless victory in Battlegrounds today, with Patches and a Pirate build of course!

I'm generally not a fan of playing OTK decks, but this does sound like quite the way to do it! With your setup, you also have the mana to play Embalming Ritual on Soulbound Ashtongue and a second Horrendous Growth, meaning you might be able to bust through armor or only need two 15/15s instead of one 30/30. If you get mana savings through Insight or G'huun the Blood God, you could also Hysteria the first Horrendous Growth for similar effect if you Embalming Ritual-ed the Ashtongue. It's awesome hearing about how you remixed the deck into a new idea :)

Sounds like a fun meme! I wonder if there's an otk variant that could be experimented with. Something like this:

Reduce your Horrendous Growth to 0 mana with Dark Inquisitor Xanesh

Buff your Horrendous Growth to 30:30 or more

And then, the combo:

Play Soulbound Ashtongue

Play Silas Darkmoon, rotating the Soulbound Ashtongue to your opponent's side of the board.

Play your 30:30 Horrendous Growth

Play Animated Broomstick, giving your Horrendous Growth rush.

Rush your Horrendous Growth into your opponent's Soulbound Ashtongue, dealing 30+ damage to the minion and your opponent's face.

All in, the combo costs 9 mana: 7 for silas, 0 for the growth, 1 for the ashtongue and 1 for the broomstick.

Whaddaya think?

My top five:

Cool deck. Really enjoy playing it. 

Maraad has been my main cardback for years now. Such a great color scheme!

Now that this card is out, I wish it had a art corrupting growth as old Jades had. It would be awesome to see it change from level to level.

I agree. You might be right in calling it “acknowledgement”. There certainly is a headnod when I meet a fellow Rogue sporting 1000W.
