[quote=Searz][quote=Meiyjhe] My random question: If I have 2 buffs doing the same thing and I have 2 minions on the board, would it be wiser to give each minion 1 buff or throw all my buffs on 1 minion?[/quote] In general you should spread the value of your units out, never focus too much in one, because of silence, poly, hex and more. This often means that you should buff cards that don't have passives, unless you need to for good trades ofc. Edit: it kind of goes without saying, but if you know or strongly believe that the enemy will be pulling out AOE soon then you can ofc put both on one if it saves the unit from the AOE. That's probably a rare scenario tho.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I agree with Thalia, I'd let it depend on the enemy's (possible) removal. In most cases I think spreading is probably the better choice. Edit: wellp, I just managed to draft a Rogue deck without [url=http://hearthstone.wikia.com/wiki/Assassinate]Assassinate[/url], [url=http://hearthstone.wikia.com/wiki/Sap]Sap[/url], [url=http://hearthstone.wikia.com/wiki/Fan_of_Knives]Fan of Knives[/url], [url=http://hearthstone.wikia.com/wiki/Eviscerate]Eviscerate[/url].. I have 3 [url=http://hearthstone.wikia.com/wiki/Assassin's_Blade]Assassin's Blade[/url]s somehow but no [url=http://hearthstone.wikia.com/wiki/Deadly_Poison]Deadly Poison[/url] to buff it... Not expecting too much from this, 1-0 for now though.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]why get assasin's blade number 3? you'll be dead by the time you get to use nr. 2-3.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I took the first one because I wanted it and the other two because the other options were horrible. It's not like I wanted 3 blades, trust me :P[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]For anyone wondering, it's lightning storm to clear my taunt, then 4 consecutive lightning bolts at 4 damage each followed up by a 7-9 elemental.

[quote=Meiyjhe]I have enough dust for a new legendary, and of course I want to make sure I buy the right one. So to make sure that I do, I'd like to have your opinion, these are the legendaries I am considering: - Deathwing - Lord Jaraxxus - King Mukla (for my charity deck) - Gruul - Ysera - Hogger - LEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOY NNNNNJENKINS - Elite Tauren Chieftain (cuz swag) I mainly play druid and shaman, therefore making jaraxxus less appealing, but yet it is a very swagelicious card. Any opinatos? :3[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=throatslasher] For anyone wondering, it's lightning storm to clear my taunt, then 4 consecutive lightning bolts at 4 damage each followed up by a 7-9 elemental.[/quote] Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you ever say it was in arena?

Not expecting too much from this, 1-0 for now though.[/quote] Why would you grab sap?... It's not especially good in general. Assassin's Blade isn't all that good. It's decent, but grabbing 3 of them is like asking for death. I think you just made a poor draft honestly. Also, Blade Flurry > Fan of Knives. (just make sure you get some deadly poison) Honestly though, I don't think rogues are especially good in arena. Rogues are more reliant on well-built decks than other classes in my experience. Hunter, Shaman and Warrior are also classes to stay away from in arena, because they're also reliant on correctly constructed decks to be strong, and that's not something you can rely on in arena.[/quote]

Buuuuut if you want arguably (argued by top-tier players, not only me) the best legendary in the game then craft Bloodmage Thalnos. He fits in almost any decks, because almost every deck has spell damage and the fact that he cycles himself is a major thing. I'd also like to note on the whole Engineer vs Hoarder debate: I think a general consensus can be reached that the Loot Hoarder is the better pick unless you want the buff potential that the engineers represent. The Hoarders trade make far better trades than the Engineers without buffs simply because they trade with other 2-cost units with 3/2.[/quote]

[/quote] My point was I have no way of simply removing strong minions from the board, even if only for a turn. I think Sap [i]can be[/i] very good personally, but I wasn't trying to start a discussion on how good that card is to begin with. I can't remember what the exact other options were, but trust me, they were much, much worse than getting another blade. I don't know why you always assume someone has probably just made a big mistake, it's honestly quite annoying :| I'm not exactly happy with how the deck turned out either, but not even getting Assassinate as an option once throughout the entire draft while getting an Assassin's Blade as an option 5 times in total is pretty dumb. Also, I do have a Blade Flurry, luckily (but like I said, no Deadly Poison x_x). As for rogues being bad in arena: I disagree, I think Rogues are good in arena because they generally have a lot of good early cards. I should also note that in this case my alternatives were Warrior and Shaman, sooooo... :P[/quote]

[/quote] Pls, I dont want thalnos because he is hella boring, same reason why I didnt put Sylvanas in that list. And about Leeroy, well I don't really like rushdown decks, which makes me doubt even more about my decision :3[/quote]
