Viper vs BoarControl - Hearthstone Grandmasters Europe - Week 2

[@josefranco480]

Hearthstone has finally gone full circle. Zoo is now the omega mind deck and control decks are the mindless autopilot decks that hope for certain draws.

The change is Prince Keleseth rotating and instead zoo plays magic carpet. I love carpet zoo and the board control that card offers especially with evil genius and dire wolf alpha is just insane.

[@bonmotze]

Zoo was never mindless or braindead. I don't play Aggro decks nor Zoo, because it isn't my playstyle, but these decks are often harder to pilot than Control. I play mostly Combo decks and tons of Control Warrior, since 2015. Control Warrior was always very easy to pilot.

@@bonmotze for sure they are harder to play than conjurer/cyclone mage and bomb warrior

[@bonmotze]

@@rtsgfdki that's my opinion as well.

[@rtsgfdki]

@@DonFreeq it's a joke the fact that u can get an absurd amount of value with low mana cost cards and at the same time get control over the board while at the same time have full hand of completely rng spell. This means that your enemy can't even guess what spells you can have into your hand which makes the games harder for opponent.

Best result I could find for the Viper turn at 11:30 is with Mage at 3 HP instead of 6 and Viper has an extra 3/4 on board. Here's one way it could have gone: Play Mecharoo to left of DWA Play Abusive to left of Mecharoo and buff Mecharoo Play Voidwalker to right of DWA Mecharoo rush for 5 damage (+1 from Carpet and DWA, +2 from Abusive) Grim Rally Mecharoo Token Abusive rush for 4 damage (+1 from Carpet, DWA, and Grim Rally) Voidwalker rush for 4 damage (+1 from Carpet, DWA, and Grim Rally) Play Imp to left of DWA Imp rush for 3 damage (+1 from Carpet and DWA, both taunts dead now) 2/7 Magic Carpet attacks for 3 3/3 Direwolf Alpha attacks for 3 3/4 Defender of Argus attacks for 4 3/3 Crystallizer attacks for 3 One of your four minions guaranteed to get the +2 HP from the Imp as well. Hard to say if Viper would have won from there because BoarControl may have played differently, but 4 minions would have punched through 4 Mirror Images and the Ray of Frost would not have saved him with the line he took in game.

This is how hearthstone should be , miss era like this, mech warriors and mage is really boring to watch

[@maxmuellerm]

commentator: buff...yeah this way.......I think this might have been wrong. xd I think generally you should always count taunt health and non-face damage and then look if you can split it in the right way. The misplay really made the difference there after losing 3 facedamage and a potential 4/4 minion. Not that easy under pressure though.
