Yeah, Kripp always seemed to be one of those guys who thought he was funnier than he really is.

His casting for recent HS tournaments has been amazing. Best I've seen. Nobody else calls out all the options each player is thinking about anywhere near as well as he does.

Was doing horrible for ranking today and then I decided to make my own deck based off of Reynad's old warrior deck. I went straight from rank 17 to 13 on a win streak. I'll tell ya...it's really fun. Just make sure you are being efficient every turn (made easy by perfect curve) and not afraid to use upgrade early (the light justice version) against aggro. good against zoo, the new mage aggro that is everywhere, the silly anti-miracle/handlock paladin, and hunter.
2 Leper Gnome 2 Argent Squire 2 Abusive Sergeant 2 Upgrade! (AKA 8 more damage for arcanite reaper at one mana) 2 Fiery Win Axe 2 Heroic Strike 2 Bloodsail Corsair 2 Wolfrider 2 Harvest Golem 2 Kokran Elite 2 Weaponsmith 2 Arcanite Reaper 2 Nightblade 2 Argent Commander

That is a fantastic card. The 3 slot all of a sudden looks really competitive.

It's winter here. No snow but then it never snows here. 15 degrees Celsius or 59 farenheit. I feel cold in that weather unless I'm jogging tbh.

It was in the lower 50s this morning when I started my 100 mile bike ride, 5th one this year.
Edit for topic. I suck so bad at HS draft and it depresses me a bit. I know the meta is slower, but I've yet to crack 5 wins in 7-ish tries.

I'm stacking gold, but I have a feeling the currency to gold ratio will not be identical to Arena. They retracted the July 1st announcement about Nax pricing.

Well, fu ck previously announced plans. I blew that gold today, and no regrets. I got a hunch the gold to currency ratio will be unfavorable, so sure, why not. This Druid draft though, wow. www.arenavalue.com/s/rlOEueAnything short of 8 wins will disappoint me. What do you guys think? Edit: Da mn, I only managed a 5-3. In two of the matches, including a mirror match, I was pushed around where my deck was supposed to be at it's strongest. My last loss was to a Mage in a topdecking sitation. Meanwhile, this crap draft deck went 6 wins. Lost on game seven to topdecked Pyroblast, was gonna win next turn, too. Guess that makes up for my one health victory for game six. www.arenavalue.com/s/mL8qRz

Which will mean it'll probably release in a couple of weeks. The price is rather nice; it should only take a regular player about two weeks to unlock each wing.

Aaaaand they changed the Naxx gold cards. They originally were going to unlock through heroic mode in Naxx. Now they only unlock if you craft them with dust (after earning the normal ones first). What a joke. Now nobody will own them.

www.postimg.org/image/kn1g78jhf/ Holy draft, Batman. This will either end horribly, or I'll be a constructed God. Sorry about all those bumps, I couldn't get text embed to work.

Undertaker coin Zombie chow into loot hoarder stronk. A lot of good cards, Loatheb is very good, might go into almost every deck good like Tink master pre nerf. A lot of meta cards to go around too, the spider is anti late drop, can stick to the board to take out high priority targets like rag, Ysera, giants. A control card to be better against control, but with 8 health for 6 mana it's good against tempo/aggro if you survive intact to play it. The battlecry + 2 mana cost card anti metas zoo, but we'll see if that zoo in the future plays a lot of battle cries like it does now, zombie chow undertaker is a PRIME zoo combo. Echoed ooze will do well with turn 1 coin innervate mark of the wild, because you'll get 2 3 4s with taunt. Move over coin innervate yeti.

Loatheb will be at the top of most aggro curves since he locks out mass removal giving you another extra turn with the minions you built up over turn 1-4. Definitely a must play in zoo. Might bring hunter back into the limelight. It's good in priest as many legend priests are using stranglethorn at the 5 drop...and loatheb is just a straight buff for strangle's purposes.
As you said Kitty, many great zoo cards. And trust me, zoo needed it. As much a pain it is to ladder against, it is still outclassed by the big 3 atm and it needs some love.

That draft finished 9-3, new personal high(lol). No 12 win dream still, but at least only one of those losses was my fault.
