REMINDER:  In addition to the information above you will likely want to have an ACTIVE Arena run going when Hallow's End begins.  Seeing as they are warning players about the arrival of the event in Arena, this means we'll see all active runs forced to end, and you'll get rewards AND a free Arena ticket.  So sometime between now and then, start and Arena run, get to 2 losses and STOP!

The same should also be true for the end of the Seasonal event as well.

Amen, man. It's like... if you don't want to buy it, then vote with your money and don't buy it!

Created an account specifically to say that I laughed quite a bit at the dig on wild bundles.

Hold on... "free-to-play players ... got robbed of their regular free pack"? How can someone who put absolutely NOTHING into the game get "robbed"?

Nobody. Owes. You. Free. Shit.

Sincerely,

An actual customer subsidizing the FTP experience

Jaffa in* the urban dictionary means an impotent male. It also has something to do with oranges

Yay! This already looks more promising than this past "event".

I would play this brawl if it cost like $3.99 max... otherwise, all you rich folks have fun.

I was flipping back and forth between their streams on Twitch - Funki took it pretty well and still got to the 12 wins. He had a great game against Deaddraw at 10 or 11 wins too.

Boar went 4-3 with Priest (his chat voted for that one). 9-3 with Soul DH, 12-0 with Libroom Pally (just barely beating FunkiMonki  in the mirror at 8-0 on a miracle cast from High Abbess Alura - fun fact: Funki got 12-2 with his deck), and then 9-3 with Totem Shaman (that's where the 21-0 came from). 

There were three book series that really shaped me as a kid, all three of which are some form of sci-fi and/or fantasy:

• Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. You might have seen the (rubbish) movie, or more recently seen the (much better) TV show on HBO. It's got a multiverse, people living alongside their spirit animals, talking armored polar bears, and a knife that can cut through the fabric of reality. The main antagonists are The Church, so if you have a problem with that I would steer clear. Pullman recently began a new trilogy where the main character Lyra is in her 20s, and it's more like "His Darker Materials" lol. Patiently awaiting the third book.
• R.A. Salvatore's The Legend of Drizzt series, which spans 35 books as-of last year! I've only read like half of them, but I really attached to the main character. In between each chapter there's usually a little journal entry from Drizzt about how he feels in the given situation, or his thoughts on a particular moral topic; those are what pulled me in and helped shape my world-view into being (what I think to be) a good person. Being from The Forgotten Realms universe of Dungeons & Dragons, this is fantasy through-and-through.
• Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, and the parallel novel "Ender's Shadow". The movie was pretty good, I think, so if you have an opportunity I would check that out first and see if you'd like to further delve into the world with the books. While the main sequels to Ender's Game get a little...out there, it's the "Shadow" books about the side-character Bean that I really enjoyed, exploring what happens to these genius military-academy children after the war with the aliens is over. I would say the main sequels are straight hardcore sci-fi, while the Shadow books are political sci-fi thrillers.
  • Edit: Did not notice you had already mentioned Ender's Game at the bottom of the main post. All well.

Right after the next expansion comes out - they love screwing with the pros by holding tournaments right after a release.

I'm very keen on art books, I got Art and Arcana, a visual history of Dungeons and Dragons last week that I need to find time to sit down and read. 

I also recently got the art of Diablo, and one of Bruce Timm's latest books of pinup drawings. 

Your not rude buddy, thanks for the insight.

You just reposted all of the already known meta decks played on ladder and in tournaments. Stop making the brawliseum happen Gretchen, it's not going to happen!

So Boar did pretty damn well overall?

I watched him at 9 wins with DH (don’t know how it ended), red about a 21 win streak with totem shaman and now I see another 12 win list? The dude is undeniably skilled!

Yeah unfortunately there's nothing in place for that as of now, just gotta click it a whole bunch.

Can’t wait to NOT play this brawl. First run is not free anymore either lul.

This is almost half as expensive as a mtgo draft!! Outrageous.

Don't get fooled by the packs and dust rewards. This game mode returns your gold only at 12 wins. It's ridiculous and spending real money on this makes them think it's a good move.

So I've unlocked all of the new champion capsules in all of the region rewards.

Providing me a full set of Taric and Nocturn.

That only leaves a full playset of Sol to grab from weekly's and with gems.

Unfortunately, a lot of these champs are underrepresented in the meta right now.

You are either hardcore aggro or super control, and these match's are decided very quickly.

If I wanted to grind rank I'd just jam pirate aggro with it's insane 59 percent win rate overall.

It has a 70 - 90 percent win rate against all of the control regions in the game so Targon, P and Z, Ionia, Noxious, Freijord

Shadow would be your best bet but it still looses 59 percent of the time.

Hurray, no midrange and no combo decks to speak of, so fun.

Still think Bilgewater isn't op guys...

man I just feel bad for Regis after that video. 

Quote From anchorm4n

I am entertaining the thought to try Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series for a third (or fourth?) time. I've never managed to get past book 4 because he's all about character development and I prefer faster plots.

I highly enjoyed Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, but you are absolutely right that it is a sprawling story (the entire saga is 13 extremely large books). If you have the means, I recommend listening to the audio book version -- Michael Kramer and Kate Reading do a fantastic job, and its carried by many local libraries.

Other standout recommendations:

• Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series (Final Empire is the first book) - story in a feudal / aristocratic world where certain people with magical powers plot to overthrow a tyrannical dictator.
• Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series (Furies of Calderon is the first book) - honestly my synopsis is almost the same as above except now everything except the main character has magical powers, the ruler is good, and the bad guys are plotting to overthrow him
• Robin Hobb's Fitz series (Assassin's Apprentice is the first book) - young boy grows up to discover he's a royal bastard and that the king wants to raise him to be an assassin for the crown
• Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series (The Last Wish is officially the first book, but you could also start at Blood of Elves) - These books often get overshadowed by the video game and Netflix show, but honestly they are utterly fantastic in their own right

Have to agree with Regis - though at least in his case it makes sense as he is a streamer so the cost is far outweighed by twitch/youtube.  As he said, even he wasn't keen on spending real money and wasn't having fun.  

For most of us without ultimate skill and/or luck:

Hi Mark. Great version of the deck. Did you happen to see my version in the Wild Weekend update on Out of Cards. I use Expired Merchant as the lowest cost card which with Sense Demons and Witchwood Piper is very easy to draw. I use Lorekeeper Polkelt too.
