    Agreed, I always enjoy theory crafting, great to be participating in a contest while doing it.

  • Elemental shaman and mage decks

    I think the dragon version of mage should have shooting star instead of frost bolt in order to take advantage of spell damage

  • Advice for adjusting my favorite deck to DoD

    People should try this deck out anyway, it's very fun. It's been my main deck since RoS came out.

    But at this point, I'd especially like people to help me figure out how to adjust it to DoD. I don't think it will change much; but it would be nice to have a few new cards sprinkled in.

    Specifically, I'm trying to figure out what to cut in order to fit two Violet Spellwings in. And then I might cut an Arcane Intellect in favor of an Elemental Allies -- crazy, you say? Maybe.

  • About Tyrande's coming back and The value Blizzard gives older players( WARNING: SALT THREAD ! )

    Quote From Adder

    At the end of the day, it's commendable to see it like you do no matter how you put it, and I joined this thread purely out of love for arguing since I fully realize no amount of discussion here will influence anything. But I don't think this debate will ever reach a satisfying conclusion, since ironically both sides accuse each other of being selfish and both have a reason to do so.

    +1 mate

    I got Tyrande too back in the day and think it's good players who couldn't/didn't are getting her.

    Would be nice if Blizzard gave a nod to those who already had her even if it was just a pack.  But hey, not going to worry about it and certainly not arguing they have to.

  • About Tyrande's coming back and The value Blizzard gives older players( WARNING: SALT THREAD ! )

    To add my two cents the value of getting tyrande when it was first available was that it was exclusive if you subscribed to prime. This was great for the collectors  and hardcore fans and for the past few years it has remained that way but now things have changed 

    At that time Hearthstone on twitch was massive and if you were a fan of the game anyway this was a no brainer as twitch gave you other rewards for Hearthstone too. 

    Since then twitch has seen shrinkage on its hearthstone viewings and there is no way this kind of marketing attempt would work now.

    So blizzard are just fixing a pretty bad marketing scheme and unfortunately as in all walks of life there will be winners and losers

    Not much to argue about. 

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    Pro

    I think it's Luckydo Buccaneer. Naga Corsair would fit as well, but that might be the reference for "no common"...

    (We already got hinted at a minion, a pirate and release in 2016 [WotoG, Kara, MoG], it should be somehow weapon-related and capable of hitting big targets)

  • Best answers (preferably spells) to wide boards?

    It's not for a reno deck.. though it plays a bit like one .. I've only really lost to zoo and odd paladin as an early start is rough for this deck.

    Rexxar works.. though the hero power is kind of a liability.. I can't fill my hand. Explosive trap it is I guess.

  • New Combo(?)

    Uhh what? It actually does, just tested with Corpse Raiser and Shadowy Figure on any minion, and there’s no issue at all.

    It can work with mogu.

    Well played, that's a great reply. I hope OP is okay with us drifting away from his case, because I'd like to answer that.

    I want to start with making clear that I'm all against injustices like the one in your example. I actually happen to be a cop and I wouldn't want to live in a country where something like that was tolerated. I would also speak up against every fellow officer who (mis)behaved this way.

    Now to my actual response. Surely your example would cause outrage in a vast majority of people. But I still stick to my theory and claim that accepting the fine without complaint about the fine would be the right thing to do. I misbehaved, I get sanctioned for it, those are the rules. My emotional state about the treatment of other people in the same situation doesn't change the fact that I am rightfully getting punished. That said, I'm no saint, I can't tell if I'd live up to that standard in real life.

    Then, following my starting words, complaining about the cops behaviour would certainly be adequat. But this means criticizing the execution of the system by an individual, not the system (= the law against speeding) in itself.

    So imho the morally right thing to do would be to pay the fine and then to complain about the cops behaviour.

    It's crucial not to mix up these two points in your example. I still don't know the reason behind letting pupil nr. 1 in my example getting to leave school early once a week, but I asume as well that there might be medical reasons or some such. So as long as the system itself isn't flawed, pupil nr. 2 is an ashole for trying to pull nr. 1 down for not getting the same treatment.

    Reno as startled seems very un-Reno-like to me. Reckless and enthusiastic fits. 

    Love the art showcase stuff. Nice work, Demonxz95. 

     

  • Elemental shaman and mage decks

    After some research and pondering, I decided that omitting OP dragon cards like Galakrond and Malygos isn't the way to go so I added dragon packages to both decks, posting if someone looks for a reference to their ideas:

    That is some super OP stuff right there.

  • Shu'ma voting broken

    It looks like the form is coming back with a 500 error when I try to submit a vote for Arena or Overall on Shu'ma. Standard and Wild works. I mentioned this in the discussion thread, but it may have gotten lost with all the other posts.

    Quote From anchorm4n

    My girlfriend related to the Tyrande-issue with a story from school: there was a pupil who was allowed to leave early once a week (don't know why). Another pupil went forth and asked the prinicipal to be allowed to leave early as well - that's just fine, everybody can plead for equal rights. But when the second pupil was rejected (probably because nr. 1 had reasons nr. 2 couldn't provide), nr. 2 then asked to strip nr. 1 from their privilege to reinstate equality. And this is not okay. As long as nr. 2 isn't directly or indirectly harmed by nr. 1s privilege, nr. 2 may try to get it for his/herself, but should refrain from trying to pull down nr. 1.

    A cop stops two cars for speeding. He greets the one and lets him ho. Then he gives you a fine.

    From your point of view it is absolutely OK, because you should not take into consideration someones privilege.

    Do you see the error in your view?

    There’s no error here. It’s not your business whether someone else did or didn’t get punished for something they did. Did you do something wrong that gives someone the right to punish you? If you did, you have absolutely nothing to claim if they do.

    You can protest the other person being released on grounds that they may threaten society (and you) if they keep driving unchecked, but that is specific to this example and has nothing to do with the example @anchorm4n brought. Student nr. 1 being allowed to leave early doesn’t impact student nr. 2 in any way, so it’s not his business. 

    You need to be a buddhist-monk level of conscience, if you can ignore injustice. If everyone would be like ignoring derogiation happening to other then themselves you society would fall apart.

    They'll likely print another card with a base cost of 25 just to stop shirv doing that but then again, a shaman 1 cost spell and a paladin 25 cost is pretty hard to get together. Witch's cauldron is probably the only way it could happen.
