I 100% agree, and it's why I was so bitter when they took away features and put them behind a paywall. Any other auto-battler has more depth and everything they offer for money is purely cosmetic.

In other news, I just had a Hunter save a 0-cost Murozond to, at one point, clear my board with the Soul Mirror I had just used, except for my 2/4 Mo'Arg Artificer. Then he tried to coin flip me 4 times with Nagrand Slam for lethal, since I was at 11.



.... Except he forgot what two Artificers do to Explosive Traps.

I guess I should clarify that I don't think the Control Archetype has ever been in a worse spot than right now, and that's the only archetype I really like to play. The only decks they can beat consistently are the aggro Hunters and Demon Hunters, and non-highrolling Druids.
Rogue's value-generation and swing capabilities are both completely absurd.
Warrior can 24 damage combo you.
Paladins will eventually out-tempo your removal with unlimited buffs
Mage has multiple massive swing turns, starting on Turn 6, before Priest's best removal card can come out.
Warlock can either buff the shit out of their hand to the point where nothing can keep up, or eventually pull off a 36 damage Malygos combo.

The only way to build a competitive deck right now is to run something that can potentially highroll to the point where you can't possibly get beat. And that's when Hearthstone becomes a one-player game, not a two-player one, which is the worst-case scenario.

Holy shit, that brings me back. Just trying to remember the levels off the top of my head:
#1 was Egypt and dealt with hieroglyphs. I don't know why I remember specifically that that was the beginning, but I do.
There was like a South American one that involved feathers?
One was in the high South American mountains and there was an abacus puzzle.
You had to go to Rome and do a Bioshock puzzle to fix their plumbing.
One involved the invention of the printing press.
There was one with Edison inventing the light bulb and the final puzzle was using an old timey machine to stop some futuristic force field.
Oh, one took you down the Silk Road and it only had like two screens you had to keep going back and forth on.
And another was in Japan, and there was a puzzle that had to do with their national flag?

..... That's all I got, I think. Man, I played that game a lot.

I actually learned during my second playthrough that you can sit at any campfire and "Doze Off", and it speeds time along significantly. It gives you a timer, so if you know you're waiting for something that happens 15 minutes into the loop, you can wake up, take two steps to the campfire you're at, and doze back off for 13 minutes, then hop in your ship, and head over there in the next 2 minutes.

I didn't realize until I watched the documentary how many fundamental rules of game-making the game breaks. The development team just kinda made up all their own rules as they went along. Here's a link to the video I watched, btw.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbY0mBXKKT0

The Skyward Sword segment is about 2 minutes in. They don't talk about anything spoilery until about 10 minutes in, and they give you a massive buffer to leave the video before they do.

Outer Worlds is also very good! I enjoyed that immensely as well, a solid 9/10 game. But Outer Wilds is definitely a 10 in my book.

And yes, the creator said his favorite aspect of Zelda games were its exploration, and in Skyward Sword, they made everything clunky and held your hand to lead you where it wanted to go. He specifically made Outer Wilds to be the anti-Skyward Sword; a game where the only benefit to exploring is learning more about the world and using that to explore even more.

I got it on sale during the Epic Games sale last holiday and just sat on it until this past Tuesday. For the next two and a half days, I spent the majority of my time playing it to the end. On Friday, my 20 year old niece came over to stay the night and hang out, as she typically does, and I played it again from start to finish the past two days to show everything off, letting her input on where to go and what to do. She was enamored basically the entire time.

And so was I. Still. I spent my time lying in bed last night thinking about it more. Then I woke up this morning and finished watching a documentary online about its development. Did you know the inspiration behind this game came about because the creator was a huge Zelda fan, but hated what they did with Skyward Sword? It's true!

But that's beside the point. I don't think a game has ever quite resonated with me quite like this game did. Every once in a while, there is a game comes along that I beat and have to tell everyone about, because it hit every right note with me. Undertale and Return of the Obra Dinn come to mind as examples. But I don't think there's much to talk about with Outer Wilds. It's simply something you have to play yourself, because hearing about it or watching it just isn't the same.

This game is a fucking gem. It's such a unique experience; one that will just make you happy that you enjoy video games.

Capped off my going Legend with an arena run, which went for 12 wins! I can't remember the last time I'd done that, since I don't play arena often at all anymore, probably a good 2 years ago. I spent most of the gold I got on 5 packs and didn't get a single card higher than rare. I'd be more upset, but somehow that included a Blackjack Stunner, 2 Bloodboil Brutes, and another golden Bloodsail Brute. So uh, ok, thanks for the 1100 dust.

Oh hey, relevant video to what we were discussing the other day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AimF4_wpp1U

They even spend a few minutes discussing the make-up of their two decks; which cards are good and which are not as useful. Personally, I don't think weapon removal is all that important. I tend to be contesting their board around turn 5, and they usually spend 3 or even all 4 of their attacks on minions the turn they play the Warglaives, but he's the world champion and I'm not.

I actually don't mind taking a coin off my opponent. I've used Lazul and taken a coin in the early game twice before. It really helps to curve into your higher impact 5- and 6-drops. If Mind Vision gives you a Coin, that's still a perfectly fine result. You're spending 1-mana now when you weren't gonna use it anyway into 1-mana later for a bigger swing turn later.

I was thinking more on it, and I think having a 1/1 on board is actively detrimental in a few matchups.
It gives Rogues things to Seal Fate and Backstab to start combos at the start of a game (another reason I like early-game Imprisoned minions).
It gives Warriors things to Rush into and activate Battle Rage for free.
It gives Hunters tiny opponent minions to proc their Pack Tactics (though an argument against this is that it's one more tiny thing they might not be able to ignore if they have a Freezing Trap up, but most Hunters don't run that anymore).
And then they might as well not exist against Demon Hunters. The most you could hope for with one is that they may have to forego using Sigil Runner on Turn 1 in response, or have to waste the coin Hero Powering it.

If you want a 1-mana play to steal a card, I'm honestly not convinced Mind Vision isn't better. It has the potential to hit cards you know are in your opponent's hand, like 0-mana dragons or their Galakrond. You also have the bonus of knowing a card in their hand for potential plays in the future. Again, a 1/1 accomplishes so very little in Priest it might as well not exist.

  • Imprisoned cards - I really like the Imprisoned cards in Priest, especially the Vilefiend, since it synergizes well with Apotheosis. They'd be bad topdecks in any other class, but with Priest, a lot of your late turns in value matchups are focused on getting rid of your 10th card in hand so you can use your Galakrond Hero Power. Topdecking a 1 or 2 mana minion that does nothing is perfectly fine, and maybe even helpful, just so you have room to generate more value. If you have them in your starting hand, they're fantastic.
  • Mo'arg Artificer/Wild Pyromancer - I discussed this earlier, but at least one of these cards is 100% necessary to stand a chance against Spell Druid. Pyro has good synergy with all your spells, but especially Apotheosis, Mo'arg with Holy Smite, Breath of the Infinite, and Holy Nova, and SUPER synergy with Penance. I wouldn't necessarily recommend putting both in, but definitely pick one.
  • High Priest Amet - I wouldn't say craft him because he's definitely not necessary. I really only have him in my deck because he's a 4-mana 2/7, which is outstanding against aggro. He also has pseudo-taunt, despite having little-to-no synergy with the rest of the deck. Your opponent doesn't know that, so a lot of the time he's basically just 4-mana heal for 7 and deal 2 damage to a few things, which is even better than Holy Nova. Also, in the end-game, you generate a lot of bad 2/1's and 2/3's with your hero power, and now they suddenly have a lot of survivability and are really annoying for opponents to deal with.
  • Soul Mirror - It's a better Lightbomb, and Lightbomb is one of the best AoE's the game has ever seen. If you plan on playing Priest in the forseeable future, you need to craft this card. It's probably the deck's best card, maybe even better than Zephrys. You'd think it would be too slow against Demon Hunters, but there isn't a single minion in Demon Hunter that survives Soul Mirror. I'm actually kind of sad about the Priestess of Fury nerf, because it means I won't get anymore 6/1's that shoot 6 missiles anymore. Anyway, yeah, it's 100% core to the deck functioning.

You want your early minions to have lots of stats, not really just generate value. You'll get plenty of that with Galakrond, Dragonqueen, Zephrys, Lazul, Thoughtsteal, and Skeletal Dragon. You're going to be able to generate more value off those than all but the greediest decks. Your main priority should be figuring out how to stop Face Hunters and Demon Hunters with anything that costs less than 5 mana.

Some cards in your deck that I just don't agree with at all:
  • Pyschic Conjurer - You don't need early value from low-cost minions. A 1/1 does nothing on the board, especially against Demon Hunters, and you'd much rather just have any other card Priest can shove into a deck.
  • Evil Conscriptor - Lackeys don't get great use out of them in Priest, and they potentially ruin your Psychopomp. They also die for almost free to a lot of Hunters' turn 1 and 2 plays, like Dwarven Sharpshooter and Phase Stalker. They just don't contest well.
  • Big Ol Whelp - This I could see an argument for if you also ran Dragonmaw Sentinel, but there's no dragon synergies in the deck. Especially in Priest mirror matches, it's almost a dead card because 90% of them will go to fatigue.
  • Psyche Split - What are you hoping to copy with this card? Against aggro, it's basically useless unless you survive to turn 10 and plop it on a Waterbearer, but if you've made it to Turn 10, you're likely going to win anyway. Against another value or control deck, if you have a big minion stick to use it on, this is just a big over-commitment that necessitates a board wipe.
  • Cabal Shadow Priest - The only deck I could see this being all that useful against is Enrage Warrior. It's too slow against everything else. I don't know the specific numbers, but I feel like I have a fantastic winrate against Warriors already and really don't need to boost that matchup at all.
