A different flavor this week!

I've been getting a few requests to commentate my arena runs, so here's a little something to make up for the lack it. Thought it would be a nice change of rhythm from the weekly overview segments.


Here's the full drafting thought process of my 9-2 Druid run-

Murloc decks are the early cheese, the all-in of Hearthstone. Like Starcraft, it's a b*tch to play against, but fun to execute. There's all kinds of murloc decks out there today, but personally I feel Warlock is the most efficient fit. With a murloc aggro deck, the mentality is to draw and play as many cards as possible to end the game as quickly as possible.

Rogue week. The post-patch rogue.

I was eager to keep going headstrong with Rogue in ranked post-patch, but after experimenting a few games on unranked it felt impossible. My Rogue spellpower deck is now defunct.

This is Shaman week!


I’ve been playing a lot of Shaman lately, and have been enjoying the slow yet stern defensive pace. A lot of people seem to quickly nudge off Shaman to be a RNG hero since many of its spells & hero power rely on it. It’s true that the difference of a favorable RNG compared to a unfavorable one could mean winning or losing the match, but I feel that if you build your deck towards a defined goal the RNG leans more towards a bonus rather than a necessity.

Now that I’ve hit Master 3 star ranked along with Grandmaster in arena, I feel a little more comfortable sharing my opinions and offering tips. Today will be a simple one, just throwing some general thoughts out there. This is by no means ‘correct’, it’s simply my experience so far with the game.
