    I absolutely adore Subject 9 in hunter, simply because it provides much-needed card draw as well as it synergizing absurdly well with Cloaked Huntress but aside from hunter, the card doesn't see much play. 

    On the contrary, Zilliax is an overall strong card, but he has always felt more of a shoo-in than an actual strong card in most wild decks. Sure he helps make the deck have more sustaining power, but I do not run him in most if any, of my wild lists since I find him to be lackluster. That being said, he is the type of card that can fit into pretty much anything so you would probably get more bang for your buck with him.

    I love pretty much all the new secret stuff mage got, even if Cloud Prince is a bit over-the-top but aside from that, Garden Gnome, Overflow and Anubisath Defender are also really fun and good in my opinion.

    It seems that the people who play a lot of hunter (this is usually golden hero Hunters) are more prone to rope or rage quite if they start to loose the game. Is this your experience?

    Does it tilt you if some waists your time this way instead of conceding? Or, do you just tell you self that you just ruined someone day enough to make them rage quit?

    I play a fair bit of hunter (easily my most played class with almost 800 ranked wins) and typically I concede as soon as games start to go south for me simply because the class typically plays aggressive enough that in the time it takes for that game to finally end, I could already be mostly done with another game.

    As for roping, the only time I do that is when I'm either sprinting back from the bathroom, having my internet cut out or when my dog wants me to throw his toy for 30 years.

    What's your opinion on [Hearthstone Card (Elemental Invocation) Not Found]? It's always one of the first cards I put in a deck with Mana Cyclone, it's a common so it's in budget, it cycles itself easily with the cyclone and with Dune Sculptor, not to mention it can also be a pseudo, pre-nerf Innervate for Water Elemental in addition to working with the cyclone.

    Yeah MTG goldfish is always a great site for pretty much any format. The issues with having a full vicious syndicate-style application for not only MTGA but also just MTGO and paper MTG are that each has tons of small differences in the meta. The clearest examples are how Nexus of Fate is banned on MTGA despite it being one it is one of the largest payoffs for Simic Ramp, resulting in an imbalance in the meta. Another issue is just that certain cards are more accessible than others just due to how you obtain cards on MTGO and MTGA. A huge example of this is in how in the MTGA beta, they basically gave you all the cards you needed for Mardu Vehicles and as such, that deck saw an incredibly large play rate compared to how much it saw in the other ways of playing the game.

    That being said, one of the best ways to learn the meta is through either just playing the game more and trying out things yourself or there are several websites that host their own content that is all very helpful to learn the game. The channel I mostly watch to learn more about the meta of different formats is Channel Fireball, most specifically LSV, Mengucci, and Reid Duke, albeit none of those really cover standard so you might be a bit SoL for learning about standard matchups. Both Channel Fireball and another site, Starcity Games both also upload articles to their respective websites, so maybe that's more what you would be interested in.

    All that being said, I also remember the same people behind HS replay trying to create a MTGA replay thing. Not sure how well that has been working since I'm not a fan of using that type of program. There's also this program I found from a quick google search but once again, I don't personally use it so I do not know whether it costs money or anything of the sort.

    Hope this helps!

    Quick two questions, before you opened the packs, did you sniff them at all. The other question is kind of a follow-up question of did you sniff the pack after you immediately cracked it. Both of these are two vital steps when it comes to cracking packs and to not would be missing a large part of the experience.
