Dont get me wrong, i kinda enjoy the new minions, i just think the games are too much about snowballing now. Feels like if you pivot from turn 1 and getting good cards you gonna run down the lobby.

Also on the same breath i think if you are mainly playing for tempo only you are gonna get run down.

Also trinkets are VERY unbalanced. LIke for example quilboars. You can get the blood gems give +2/+2

Or you can get the avenge (4) blood gems give +1/+1

With the reborn and token quilboars thats gonna mean you overscale the other one in a single turn.

As much as i enjoy the trinkets, i think timewarp had more variety, im experiencing the same 15 trinkets over and over again, and they supposed to be a 100+

I might be wrong, but while i dont hate this season, and steadily climbing im not having as much fun as in the last one

Can we take a minute to appreciate how awesome this guy is? So many fun possibilities. I love when he shows up as an option. Last game I got "Boon of Light" and "Bloodfury". It was a quick victory.

I thought amalgam (curator buddy) interaction was bad but back to back with titanic guardian (pyramid buddy) is unplayable.

I waited out the animation for the final fight and it was just two beams of light over those rocks for eternity. took over 5 minutes to resolve.

Genuine question because the only card I could imagine being bought and sold repeatedly enough to generate value is [[Leeching Felhound]] and even then it requires an open board slot and [[Soul Rewinder]] or [[Ashen Corrupter]]. Maybe a hybrid elemental demon build could work? But I still don't know how T5 is justified. Is there some potential I'm not seeing?

EDIT: I've clearly been missing out on its full potential! I'll try to take advantage of it in future games

Totally fair, fun and balanced

Anyone else get tossed into an Indiana Jones movie once in a while? I feel like I have to run away from my screen.

steel got top 2

Haven't had this much fun playing demons in quite some time.

Thanks Bob! Maybe it IS time to go demon-fodder build instead of what I've got going, you read my mind!
