I don't think I'm very crazy about this whole last jedi or the jedi needing to end stuff. We know they aren't going to just stop having Jedi in these movies.

I'm guessing it's mostly Luke being emo about failing to train a new good Jedi order.

i'm fairly confident it's going to be about training people to have a balance between waffles and pancakes. i uh mean light and dark.

the concept being that the jedi order was 100% waffles, which lead to an overly dogmatic blah blah blah. the sith aren't great either, because they are 100% pancakes

this theme has been covered in a metric crap-ton of star wars media already like kotor, novels, and comic books, but probably not in a main line movie yet

Jedi actually are about balance though - they aren't the opposite of darkness, they are about controlling emotions and maintaining order. They aren't *necessarily* about goodness.

Jedi are perceived as "the light side" because they are the dark sides enemies but that isn't really what they are.

I do love Evolve tho - It's pretty much perfect as it is. I think Devolve should just have a much higher cost even if it isn't a hiard removal.

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

It can require a bit of luck to get the Ancient Watchers or Humongous Razorleaf to play on turn 2 and 3, but even if you don't get them you can just start buffing a Sunfury or something and make them big. It's pretty insane.

The big problem is removal. You invest a lot into a minion, and if it gets removed before you Shambler it, you are soooo far behind. It's not too difficult to make a wideboard, but you often need just 1 turn of going unmolested by removal. Brawl and Devolve are the only real problems once you get a wide board going.

The more I see Devolve the more I think it's a really bad card for the game. It's not OP in the sense that it has a big impact on Shaman's win rate.... but it's just such a frustrating card to see played against you, and it's so cheap.

I dunno. Priest having two 1 mana cantrips seems too ridiculous, even if lol Purify

I guess that's what they mean by design space! PW Shield limits them from making Purify cost one mana!

1 Draw doesn't justify it being 2 mana more than Silence though, especially with the limited targetting.
---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

Why? The only true problem with Purify is that it costs 2 mana instead of 1. It's a bit overcosted.

My list!

It all works together extremely well. The razorleaf is straight up better than the Eerie Statue. 1 more health which is what really matters, 3 less attack, but costs 1 mana less. It curves out so well. Even if you can't silence it, Razorleaf on turn three and Shambler it on turn 4, and you have two 4/8's. And then you just keep buffing them.

Most aggro decks just crumble before the wall. Pirate Warrior is a free win. Even Crystal Core rogue always fails to get through the wall *even after they've completed the quest*.

Has some weaknesses though. Equality is my bane. Taunt warrior is kind of hard because Execute can easily kill a big dude and if you play multiple big dudes you risk playing into Brawl. The Rag hero power is honestly no problem though - it's amusing watching them ping my 26 health minions and not care about it. Miracle rogue is kind of a pain though, Sap, Vanish, and that combo slayer are all trouble.

I used to run Acolyte of Pain over Radiant Elementals but I couldn't get a lot of use out of that draw anyways. The radiant helps with combos and in a pinch if I don't have a big dude to buff I'll just throw down a sunfury or a radiant and start kabal talonpriesting or divine spiriting it. The 1 extra attack helps a ton in those situations.

I'm 50/50 on keeping Lyra. A lot of times she's kinda useless because it's hard to play her 5 cost and start comboing, but there have been qutie a few games where she got out of control and just won me the game.

I just really love playing this deck

How important is Mimic Pod to the Rogue quest?

it's not necessary to complete the quest, but it makes it more likely you'll get the pieces earlier on by mimicing either the minion you plan to use or by cloning shadow step or a bounce panda. I would say you can start the deck without it but if you want to be competitive you should definitely be aiming towards getting it soon.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Overload. If anything it's not severe *enough*. Trading a mana next turn to play this turn is almost always worth it. Yeah you have reduced mana the turn later, but you don't actually lose mana. You just spend it a turn earlier, which is amazing for tempo.

There are pretty much no cards that aren't played because of overload. The few overload cards that aren't played are just your classic example of a poorly statted minion.

I think it could be viable - it just needs cards like Dinomancy. And honestly, Dinomancy is an insane card value wise. It blows Justicar hero power value out of the water. Will it bring Control Hunter out just by itself? Probably not, but if it does it'll be because of cards like that.

Hunter does have weak draw but that doesn't mean it can't ever have good draw though. It had the most insane draw in the game back in the Buzzard days.
---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I don't think its "really bad". I think it's really bad in an aggro quest deck. but i think there's tons of mid range and control decks that will be viable, and if there's a good hunter one, dinomancy will be the back bone of it.
---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

midrange hunter without dinomancy? isn't that like, the #1 reason to play any version of hunter that's not aggro?

I've never seen Bones. I honestly didn't know that David Boreanz was in it, but now I'm interested. Have you watched it, and is there enough of an overarching storyline to engage me, or is it closer to House MD?

Yep, he's one of the two leads, FBI investigator and ex army sniper Seeley Booth, the buddycop to the show's star Bones, a scientist that specializes in human remains.

I think the show is a lot of fun, but i've watched comparatively little. It does develope its characters over the long haul but I don't think it really has any kind of overarching story. House is a very apt comparison, it's a lot like House in that regard. A lot of growth and development went into House and his colleagues, but was there really much of an overarching plot to that show? Not really.

That said, I haven't actually seen a lot of Bones. It's the kind of show I only ever caught whatever episodes were airing on TV.


If you'd like to watch an episode just to see what Boreanaz is like on the show, I highly recommend you do season 6 episode 19, which also functioned as a backdoor pilot for a series I DO highly recommend called The Finder. May that show rest in peace.

Where would you rank Willow, and which characters would you move around? Presumably Spike and Wesley go to the top? Willow is a really tough case. I think she could arguably be #1 - she's got a better character arc than anyone above her - and she could arguably be below Anya, Spike, or Buffy.

Spike and Wesley are my top two no doubt. As for Willow, I love her, but... there are a lot of characters I think I'd put above her, including Xander and Giles. Maybe I'll do a ranking, though I doubt I'll do write ups. Except for Spike. I want to make a big post talking about Spike, whenever I get around to it.



"Growing into his role" feels like a great way of describing Angel. I don't feel like he actually *changed* that much, but just how comfortably Boreanaz plays Angel in the final season compared to the earlier ones on Buffy feels so right. Especially in his new role as "the executive boss".

Considering how much of a "man's man" Booth is in Bones, and how it seems like that's the character Boreanaz wants to be, I wonder how he looks back on Angel. Does he see it as fantasy silliness that he did to get his start or does he genuinely respect the character like it seemed like he did while playing it?



How fitting that as you finish this ranking, the 20th reunion thing with Entertainment Weekly happens.

He said "I should have brought my gun."


People say really stupid death threats all the time against people they don't like for some reason. I really don't understand why anyone thinks it's okay.

If they might actually hang this guy for running a meme page, that's extremely f***ed up. But is that the case, or is this just people saying "kill that person i don't agree with" like always?

Great write up about Willow, though in spite of it all I think she's placed a bit too highly.

One thing though that stands out to me, and you've said this before, is the point about how Willow is way too hot to be a social outcast in high school. I don't think that's the case whatseover. It is clear that Alyson Hannigan was actually cute outside of being dressed up as Willow, but being attractive isn't all about bone structure or whatever other physical features that matter. Fashion and confidence factor HUGELY into attractiveness - both of which Willow was sorely lacking in high school. A big part of that is because of her status as an intelligent nerd - she was likely *convinced* she's a an unattractive reject by the bullies like Cordelia and Harmony, and resigned herself to being that way as puberty happened. Even on days when she felt like she was pretty, she was probably made fun of. So she just continued to be the mousy girl who dresses like a librarian.

This is a real thing that happens in real life. It's not strange at all.

how do you feel about the trend in the last 5 or so years of being very negative towards episode shows?

I see this a lot in TV discussions where someone will bring up something like Person of Interest, which every episode involves the main characters getting a social security number of someone that's going to be involved in a violent crime (victim or perpetrator). Then someone says "oh, I'm really not into episodic shows. I prefer serialized stuff like Breaking Bad."

I think what's happening here is that they see a show with excellent long running storylines and characters that they enjoyed, and assumed that it's because they are a more serialized format. But a serialized format doesn't mean better growth. It can mean it's a bit more likely to have good growth, since lower quality procedurals just do their case of the week with no growth, but serials can be bad too. You can have serialized shows with excellent growth, you can have serialized shows with poor growth. You can have episodic procedurals with excellent growth, and you can have episodic procedurals with poor growth. You aren't going to get Breaking Bad in every serialized format, and an episodic format show can be just as good as BB too.


Buffy and Angel for example are incredibly episodic. They typically have a monster of the week, but that does not stop them from building up story arcs or themes, or growing character development.

TLA is episodic compared to Korra's serlalized nature... yet it had a better long term plot and character development.

I think people are making a mistake when they make this distinction.

I kinda like the 7 mana 4/4. It's like a little baby Cenarius and has decent stats for the effect. Probably too unreliable, though.

It's kinda like Infernal Enforcer. 7 mana 6/6 body with the 3 mana Hellfire spell built in vs a 7 mana 4/4 body with the 3 mana 2 overload Feral Spirits spell built in.

It's slightly conditional but I think it'll be pretty easy to activate.

So I finished Iron Fist.

While it meanders a lot, and there's a few movements in the plot that don't really make a lot of sense, I really enjoyed the series. I was thoroughly satisfied with how it ended. There's one small thing they are hinting at for next season that I'm really not a fan of, but besides that, it was good.


It's definitely not as good as Daredevil and Jessica Jones. It's MUCH better than the second half of Luke Cage. If you are a fan of these shows, and are hungry for more MCU, I think it's definitely worth it.

Oooo my thief priest is gonna love this. It really struggles for tempo so a body on board with my steals is so good.

I think it'll be good in the Questing deck. Not a turn 1 play obviously as you gotta play your quest but you can fit it in to your curve pretty well I think.
