We start off with a gross one.
I went for the 1 drop because it is the least bad. Maybe the Mana wraith is a better call
This is a no brainier right?
obviously argent
just gross
i went card draw
Finally we get to a real pick
i went with dude+weapon because best potential for card advantage and haste
Finally the real deal.
I went fire elemental because i love that card, but maybe i over value it.
1) Mana Wraith. On t2 on the play, it really slows your opponent down, often a whole turn. If you have tons of 2 drops (like I usually do), then 2 followed up by another 2 isnt bad and then you can probably trade your wraith for their first play to get back on curve. I think Secret Keeper is terribad, even if I was a paladin, where I play the most secrets. At least the wraith has 2 power.
ReplyDelete2) Argent Commander. I love a good defender, but I want to hit two guys with the buff. In mage I find I lack for creatures, making things like defender and cult master worse.
3) Arcane Intellect. (I have never played this card) Mirror entity is too easy to play around. I love to give my opponents a novice engineer with no battlecry. Mirror Image can do work but is certainly situational. Please don't play divination t3.
4) Arathi Weaponsmith. I love tazdingo too, but give me a 3 for 1 please.
5) Hex. Sometimes I need some hard removal. You're already doing OK for big drops. (shaman is my worst class now that I had a good hunter run)
i am interested in making mana wraith work. i think one awkward hand with it scared me off.
ReplyDeleteoh god, turn 3 arcane intellect is like the best thing ever...when my opponent does it
hmmm. shaman is best for me and stache. i guess this game really does a good job of emphasizing play style
don't get me wrong, 2/2 is terrible, but 1/2 is so much worse.
ReplyDeletei need you to teach me how to play Shaman. I will return the favor for Rogue.
I'm thinking full draft recap then turn by turn play-by-play of one or two interesting games.
love it. this week has been swamped with no hearth time. i'm three days into a run and sitting at 5-2. busy all weekend too, maybe monday.
