Man, 500 Ranked wins for a golden hero is going to take forever. I'm at around 55 on Paladin, 62 on Mage, and 77 on Hunter. I guess I could forge that midrange Hunter deck that is destroying everything right now, but I just don't care for Hunter in general. I'd rather have a golden Paladin or Mage.

That's what I'm using right now (keep in mind I bought 40 packs in total). Running two Divine Favor seems to be very hit or miss. I might switch one to a Lay on Hands, since I don't really have any heals either. I think I want to insert some more Divine Shields in there to take full advantage of the Blood Knights. Though, for 4 mana, playing a Squire into BK has worked very well at drawing out removals so when I get to late game, I can wreck with my heavy hitters and Redemption.

You can change one quest, once a day. I usually just try to change any 40 gold quests in hopes I'll get a 60 or that awesome 100 gold quest (7 wins, any mode).

Something that bothers me: Harvest Golem, when killed, triggers its Deathrattle, the Damaged Golem is summoned in the same place as the Harvest Golem. When, say, Cairne dies and Bane is summoned, Bane appears to the right of your board, like when a Shaman or Paladin uses their hero power. I get that the Damaged Golem is reassembled from the Harvest Golem, and that Bane is a completely different minion from Cairne, but there either needs to be an adjustment in the wording on these Deathrattles, or they all need to summon their replacements by the same rules. Basically, effects using the same verbiage should be consistent with each other.

BeanX, you can safely change the thread title to "Hearthstone babble"

I'd say Mage power is first. 1 damage for 2 mana doesn't sound like much, but judicious use of it makes it very effective. A 2/x minion can trade with a x/3 minion, you can bypass taunts to hit buffing minions (like totems), or just eat a remaining 2 mana to sew some chaos.

In conjunction with "when healed" spell effects, the priest hero power is stupidly effective, too.

Ignore
I'm and idiot and need to not reply to other topics in the wrong threads

Started playing Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag as having watched Black Sails put me into a piratin' mood. Fun so far, but I'm still just kicking around Havana, having ignored the plot in order to climb every tower and steal some chests. I've only played a few minutes of one other AC game (AC 2?) and that one had some blah-blah simulation crap in it as well so I guess that's part of the whole Assassin's Creed thing. Which I absolutely couldn't care less about and just want to do pirate parkour ****.

I can't bring myself to get back into the AC games. I'm unhappy with where they took the central (present-day) plot line, and I'm even more unhappy with what they've decided to do with the last two games.

I was worried about the Revolution game when they announced it, and I've seen little to suggest they didn't essentially do exactly what I feared they would (WOO HOO PATRIOTS!) In earlier games, the largescale world conflicts going on at the time had very heavy Templar influences on both sides, because war was one more way to control things. And, sure, they played with this idea in AC3... but the whole "Templars removed from the Americas, and General Washington is victorious!" thing is just too clean for this franchise.

And I just don't understand why the hell we're doing pirates now, besides wanting to capitalize on "PIRATES!". It's a stealth series, with organizations working from the shadows. Pirates were great for political machinations, but they weren't individually intelligence operatives.

The sea shanties are fun.

I've never been into pirates, to be honest. Which is funny, because my home town was founded by pirates.

I really want them to do feudal Japan, or China.

Not because I really want Ninja!AC, but because I desperately want to open world climb over some Asian castles.
