Japan did implement a stay at home order in late March though. The stated 'secret' was that Japan has been at the PRC's throat ever since the vietnam insurgency and the south china sea dispute, so they had very little movement of people from the mainland anyway. South Korea is similar, but over their CPC-aligned friend to the north.
I never stated that the unemployment of the labour class was not effecting the economy, my statement was that native labour is only part of the problem. The analogy of bakers needing wheat farmers needing fertiliser plants etc. was my point, that keeping industry open right now is not actually in the best interests of industry because some part of every production chain in a modern globalist economy is overseas, they would either have to price-hike or operate at a loss, and that furloughing labourers provides an unfortunate but fair solution.
I agree our economy would be going down anyway because of covid but it would not have been such a precipitous drop. Regardless of the age of the previous article small businesses remain the backbone of most economies.
To act like every waiter and waitress and many blue collar worker being unemployed has no effect on the economy is not true. My point with Sweden is to show that people can still live their lives and work and the death toll will not be significantly higher than other European counterparts. This has been proved time and again with other Asian countries such as listed in the article above. I think there has been way too much dear mongering based on little evidence.
For some reason it won't let me upload more images, but "Coin" would be a token spell that is 1 Mana Burst Speed with the text "Toss 1 to draw 1." I chose Greed as the Sin for the Shadow Isles because SI already has a theme of destroying their own units for power, which seems similar to Greed.
Coins are kinda busted lol. 1-cost burst spell, that removes two cards from your deck and gives you 1? lul, the generation is not that difficult either.

The first custom LoR card I ever made had the effect of Chainer of Souls (except slightly different as it also worked on strikes), and the artwork of War Baron.
I love playing control decks, ergo, I loved Archivist Elysiana from my first sight on her. However the meta was so aggresive this last few days that there was no place for her. Maybe with the last changes she'll find a way in some of my decks again. Great decks!

Your source at smallbiztrends cites a paper that does make your claim, but it was published in 2003. The economy has seen a marked drop in the influence of small businesses since then. Even assuming that this data is still accurate, you are misunderstanding my point. Economies suffer when international trade stagnates. Closing borders means more bureaucracy slowing down imports, so trade falls away as it becomes less profitable. Lockdown has little effect on the economy when the base resources for industry are in depleted supply. The USA is a mass exporter of some raw materials, but industry cannot function when foreign raw materials are so expensive. This economic collapse is not being caused by the lockdown, it is caused by the closed borders. The lockdown isn't doing nothing, but industry would not be profitable right now anyway. Implementing the lockdown helps counteract the outbreak and is a logical course of action when the economy is closed down anyway. If you look at the spanish flu of 1918, they had lockdowns then and economies recovered without major problems. (The Great Depression was a more normal, if very extreme, recession unrelated to spanish flu)
Sweden's economy is just as poor off as the rest of europe, because trade with EU states makes up most of its international trade, and Sweden is an export oriented economy. Sweden's major ports are quiet because swedish goods cannot enter the eurozone without buckets of red tape right now. Sweden is not like other countries because Sweden is mostly empty. Low population density is a natural barrier against epidemics, as we are seeing in other countries like the UAE and Russia.
About east-asian countries, they have been, broadly speaking, put through the washer. They have passed the peaks of their outbreaks and are opening their economies again. Your claim that jobs/homes were not sacrificed is false. The response from the PRC was questionable at best, but their neighbouring countries have undergone systems of lockdown harsher than the EU's.

I hate the forced political agenda this represents, but I am aware this became more of a marketing and a "why not" for Riot since concervative people are less likely to care or get hurt so it's a win win situation for them.
Also the emote is quite offensive when you look at it, you are clearly saying.. "you are gay" when you use it. And the rainbow poro is inferior to moon struck I but I can see it fit better with the arcade board.
I dont know why so many people are downvoting you, you make a good point. Warrior gets to pay an extra mana to give a minion +1/+1, and rogue gets to play double cards for the price of one. How is that fair? I really like the idea of this brawl, but some of the classes could use some upgrades to give them a better chance.
I just performed a quick search but unfortunately couldn't find anything either.
If you're interested in a Thresh/Kalista deck you're probably better off just searching for "Kalista Thresh deck" in any search engine for some inspiration.
I think there are a few problems with the klepto cards. People have already talked about card advantage and Freljord buffs.
But I think one major advantage that frustrates me, is asymmetric information advantage. If my opponent draws my Ruination, not only does he know he needs to play around it less, but I DON'T know what part of my own deck to play around. And it's just frustrating to play around my opponent deck as well as my own deck.
Another example is I once played 2 pilfered goods, and snagged 3 will of ionias. I now know that I don't need to play around it at all, but my opponent has no idea what I'm capable of doing to his units.
I think it would help if they made the stolen cards visible to the player they were stolen from, so at least the victim knows what the opponent knows. If I know to play around a Ruination / Deny etc specifically, it won't be so frustrating when it does come out.
To add to this, even when they play the cards they stole, the game doesn't tell you. If it would just say somewhere "this card was stolen" it would be a lot better.
If you can scrape up two entries (3rd one being vault token), you can then play expeditions for free for entire week, tho no shard rewards, only XP. Or you could save two tokens and pay for one entry for example.
Basically, after 3 runs, expedition entry is free for the rest of the week, is all im saying. And yes, if you do well, the expedition reward should be enough to start next one right up.
They actually lowered the price, you get shards as a reward so you should be able to go "infinite" if you do well there is no expedition expert I know of to learn the mode though..

Here is an article about Japan published today, they had no lockdown and just used common sense measures.https://www.yahoo.com/news/japan-avoided-lockdown-telling-everyone-113600195.html
I agree our economy would be going down anyway because of covid but it would not have been such a precipitous drop. Regardless of the age of the previous article small businesses remain the backbone of most economies.

A Cavalcade of Brawls, the 100th Tavern Brawl, Returns as This Week's Brawl
I dont know why so many people are downvoting you, you make a good point. Warrior gets to pay an extra mana to give a minion +1/+1, and rogue gets to play double cards for the price of one. How is that fair? I really like the idea of this brawl, but some of the classes could use some upgrades to give them a better chance.
AI Opponents
I just performed a quick search but unfortunately couldn't find anything either.
If you're interested in a Thresh/Kalista deck you're probably better off just searching for "Kalista Thresh deck" in any search engine for some inspiration.
The Klepto cards are super frustrating
To add to this, even when they play the cards they stole, the game doesn't tell you. If it would just say somewhere "this card was stolen" it would be a lot better.
Add opponents
If you came here to spew nonsense, you can just leave right now. If you need to blow off some steam, here is the place (tho still within reason!).
Add opponents
They didn't add the option to add recent opponents for the exact reason you're trying to add them.
Grow up.
why is frostbite burst again?
This thread is over two months old and back then OP already got a satisfactory answer, as said by himself.
Why, pray tell, are you bumping this?
I like expeditions, but they are a bit to expensive to play.
If you can scrape up two entries (3rd one being vault token), you can then play expeditions for free for entire week, tho no shard rewards, only XP. Or you could save two tokens and pay for one entry for example.

Well, Elysiana kinda disappeared after the nerf. It should probably be reverted at least upon next Rotation (she's not dangerous for Wild).

I crafted Archivist Elysiana for a warrior deck when it first came out and haven't touched her since.... would be a good time to try again
