If they're significantly better than me, I'll fawn them hard and roleplay a doormat to try and get them to teach what I'm doing wrong and how can I get better. Don't mind being worse than someone in a game. In fact, it's way more frustrating when you lose to players who are worse than you.

I'll go with a 6. It's kinda weird, but I like the color.

Even if you're right, it's not valid if you don't tell me which Rance game it is, ya know.

Wouldn't have noticed it had I not replayed the game a few months ago. 1- This VN is a non-canon episode of a popular series. 2- It involves world conquering- and, if you want to, fighting god.

Demonbane?

Right.

Alright. It's a revenge story happening in an alternate-history japan. It packs quite some swordsmanship infodumping.

Comyu.

Matou Shinji from Fate would be the closes match. He's about as much of a coward as I am- main differences being that I'm not quite as arrogant (don't take myself for a narcissist either, though maybe I am- who knows), I'd be way, waaaay more cruel if I ever was in a position of power and my fantasies are much more twisted. I feel like if he lived up to my current age we'd be about the same, though. Specially since I was pretty much him as a teen. Overconfident to extremes, unable to admit fault and a tad less twisted.

Kill it.

Not happening to me on pc or mobile. No clue.

Depends on the escapism and what it's making worse. Really can't give you a generic answer here.

Alright. You just convinced me to get out of my slump and play Kajiri Kamui Kagura. *clap clap clap*

Cross was the deck's creator. I think he may have gotten the deck up to top 20 (and stayed there). I do know he reached top 1 legend a few times, though I don't know if this was the list he was using. Neirea from team liquid then popularized it, also reaching pretty damn high legend rankings with it, though I don't know exactly which rank he ended up in. I definitely suggest checking those streams out. Maybe you'll find them playing the deck, or at least some highlights.

The deck has a higher win-rate against those aggressive decks than the normal control list does. Hearthstone's midrange decks are weird. They're waaaay too agressive for midrange, mostly because creatures are so OP in HS and you don't have to worry about mana. A control deck doesn't care about when it wins- it works on the premise that, if it stalls long enough, it'll normally win against anything it faces. This deck isn't quite like that. In exchange for having a higher win-rate against aggressive decks, it will not beat control decks if it turns into a value game. Which is why it can't turn into a value game. Against control, its midranginess truly shines- it has just enough to overwhelm them before they can beat you with their superior lategame. Varian is ridiculously important in those matchups, because it allows you to draw cards right when you're about to run out of steam, which lets you continue to put pressure- I find it ironic that you say that Varian "won't pull anything good"- great! It's purpose is not to put a bunch of lategame on the board- sometimes it's bad when that happens. It's purpose is to let me draw spells and weapons to keep pressure going and bring forth the rest of my midrange crap like piloted shredders to overwhelm them like that without quite overextending. Against aggro, it just straight up has better early game, board presence and removal. Which is why I believe this to be a superior version of warrior compared to control lists.

I'll stand by saying the chows are absolutely needed in this list. Replacing them- or any early game- is not an option. The deck has been tested and we have enough data for that. Taskmaster is also pretty bad here- chow deals with 1 drops more efficiently and it has enough execute activators already. Plus, this deck doesn't plan on bursting them down with Grom- as you can see, it has no Alex, after all. Do I need Ysera? Not really. I want to see how well it works with Varian, though. I was thinking of Harrison first, but this meta has too many weapons for me to drop him. The 5/6 mana cost minions aren't really an option because I want to follow the curve with my midranginess. I was personally thinking of Ragnaros or Grommash, but they have an immediate effect that I don't wanna give up. And Varian is absolutely vital for this deck's lategame. I need all the removal, too. Tweaking decks is tough. Edit: This is a midrange deck, but a midrange deck that wins in the lategame. I don't do damage on the first couple of turns, which is why the chows are great. Other common midrange decks try to close the game very soon (to me they're quite aggro-ish), which isn't the case with this one. I'll start dealing damage on turn 6 or such, after all. Edit 2: Geddon is particularly bad because it kills my board when I play him. It's why he's not on the list.

I've got all the cards. Just don't want to put them in. And this is netdecked. A guy was playing around with it on top 50 legend, I think. The point is, if I'm adding an extra belcher, the other brawl and geddon, I might as well copy the standard control warrior list- this is a midrange deck. Not a control one. Though it certainly has some control elements. I like this list over the control one, too.

No way, with all the secret paladins around I need that much. While climbing I always feel that I don't have quite enough. Plus, this deck only runs 1 Belcher, 1 Brawl and 1 Shieldmaiden (and no Justicar or Geddon)- getting back and stabilizing is pretty difficult. Which is why I chose the "don't give up the board to begin with" route. It also has no cruel taskmasters. Need that slam to trigger execute.

I'd buy a Lia one. Coming from someone who always said buying this type of thing is stupid.

Oh yeah, what do you guys think is worth cutting for an Ysera here? I kinda wanted to run one, since I'm already running Varian anyway...

Done. Those two got replaced by Eden and Fault.

You'd need some serious data to make me buy Skeleton Knight. 200+ games would be good enough, I guess. Yeah, never thought I'd ever see someone praising the 6 mana salty dog either.

Sorry Kripp, you're not ever going to convince me demonfuse isn't garbage. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w5zzv6rSDuY
