current deck of choice that I saw posted on reddit:
Spoiler: Tempo Warrior
The singleton Big Game Hunter is supposed to be a Bloodmage Thalnos (legendary, 2 mana 1/1, spell damage +1 & deathrattle draw a card), but I don't have one. I've been messing around with various replacements - Kobold Geomancer (spell +1), Novice Engineer (2 mana 1/1battlecry draw a card), Commanding Shout (2 mana, your minions can't be reduced below 1hp this turn, draw a card), Shield Block (3 mana +5 armor draw a card), Warsong Commander (3 mana 2/3, your minions with 3 or less atk have charge)... could also be a second Execute/Cleave/Arathi Weaponsmith. Wild Pyromancer could maybe even work (2 mana 3/2 whenever you cast a spell deal 1 to all minions).
Currently trying out BGH because:
1) fuck legendary.deck Druids
b) fuck Freeze Mage's Alexstraza
III) FUCK LEGENDARY.DECK DRUIDS (also w/ Inner Rage/Taskmaster it can kill an enemy minion with 5 or 6 atk which is a cute combo)
really fun deck though, I'd recommend it. and it's relatively cheap since the only rares are Drake/Argent/whatever one-of you want to toss in over a Bloodmage if you don't have one.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

also I opened an Archmage Antonidas last night (7 mana 5/7, when you cast a spell, 'draw' a Fireball spell (4 mana 6 damage)).
sadly I don't have the cards necessary to play ExpensiveMageControl.deck (bloodmage, alexstraza, etc... but I have one Doomasayer and two Blizzards?) but I'm sure I can find some cheapish deck to throw this in.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

second Azure Drake seems good.
surprisingly I have zero Mana Wyrms or Ice Lances. and I need both Kirin Tor and a Counterspell, but that deck looks solid enough to start saving dust.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Control Hunter is a hell of a lot of fun. Sadly I lack Baron Geddon and Ragnaros, or any good alternatives
Spoiler: CIRCUS OF VALUE
So much synergy...
Wild Pyromancer + Acolyte of Pain (+ Loot Hoarder for instant card draw in a pinch?)
Wild Pyromancer + Hunter's Mark
Hunter's Mark + Elven Archer
Azure Drake + Traps/Arcane Shot
Has a solid game against Miracle Rogue, too. Running 2x Argent Commander over Baron Geddon and Rag because budget. I like the Commanders, they're a solid bursty wincon and they also kill off Drakes and Auctioneers sometimes. Tried one Abomination over one, didn't like it that much. But I might fiddle with things.
Current decks are now Zoo, Kolento Hunter, Control Hunter, Tempo Warrior... either saving for a legendary or going for that Mage deck next,If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Battling through 6 legendaries from a control Warrior with a random-Mage-bullshit deck just feels good. New record! I hate legendary goodstuff decks with a passion...
Turns out Black Knight dies to random-minion-damage, Ysera and Baron Geddon die to Polymorph+ping, Cairne against an Archmage Antonidas with Fireball in hand ends badly for Cairne, Grommash just gets frozen forever, and Ragnaros isn't very helpful when I'm at ~20+ and I have lethal burn spells in hand.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

@quadz: Again? You play? :O
@Glork: either mill druid (Naturalize, Coldlight Oracle, etc.) wins by milling, Ramp Druid gets a huge dude out in the first few turns, or Token Druid (and ramp druid) wins by Force of Nature & Savage Roar for 14+ burst damage.
Also against my better judgement I made an alt to play Shaman on because I don't have the dust to craft an actual Shaman deck on my main yet (it's like 1k+ dust and I'm always building other decks, notably a Pally one that needs an Avenging Wrath), so I'm aiming to build something like Trump's f2p and just dick around on the account every 3 or so days for dailies. So far I had ~400 dust because I DE'd an Ancient of Lore and golden Blizzard. That felt... odd to do.
Two hours in and I already have a respectable enough deck, too:
Spoiler: Shaman
Wondering if I should bother slugging through the other classes if I'm only using neutral pulls and basic cards to get the 100g for getting everything to level 10.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Playing random Pally bullshit deck. Drop Sunwalker against a Shaman to bait out a Hex. He has it. Opponent drops Cairne, silence it w/ a Spellbreaker. Opponent drops Rag, I Faceless it and it takes his out. He Faceless-es mine and takes out my other minions, drops a totem. His Rag hits my face. I Stampeding Kodo his totem and my Rag takes his out. Ragequit.
God I love Faceless.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

My Pally deck has no actual wincon because I lack an Avenging Wrath (proooobably crafting that next because this Pally deck is fun) but Faceless (& Big Game Hunter) is really fun against Rag/Alex/general bigstuff.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

so I don't know if I have the free time to organize itat the moment, but what would everyone think about a commons-only Hearthstone league?
something like:
- you have to play 5 matches/week with a minimum of three different MS players. so you can play 3 matches w/ one player and 1&1 for the other two.
- matches are best-of-three, where the loser of the previous game can change their deck but the winner keeps theirs. you obviously can't edit decks between games in matches, but you don't have to keep the same decks throughout the league.
- you don't have to restrict yourself to three decks like the major tourneys do, since the league is mostly casual.
- no rares/epics/legendaries allowed. maybe making it 'peasant' and allowing one rare only per deck but idk.
- make a point system (one point per game win, bonus point if you win a match?) to score everyone and rank people weekly.
- naming a monthly champion or something else cheesy.
- potentially allowing players to earn a bonus point or two for taking down the previous weekly champion in a match, to keep things interesting. probably would have to put a penalty in place for anyone who doesn't play matches so one person can't dominate for three weeks and skip playing anyone the last week and win (not that I think anyone here would refuse a match to win a casual league, but it also motivates people to keep playing, sorta how the Song Contest gives penalties if people don't participate).
not sure if there's much interest or if said interest would die off after a bit, but I was just brainstorming. I'd also totally organize this but I have a game I'm modding offsite and one onsite coming up soon, so IDK if I'd have the time to do it solo. the rules I thought up were also made so that whoever was running it could participate (since you don't need to submit decklists like a major tourney); I know if I end up running this I'd also want to play. *shrug*
numbers can also be altered. maybe make it a bit less time-committing/easier to make time with peoples' schedules and make it three matches a week with all separate players, maybe adding that each week you need to play at least one different player than last week. could even do silly challenges for extra points (win a match using X card in your deck (e.g. Wisp, Magma Rager), or a Highlander deck (one of each card), etc.). lots of different things you could do with this.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Eh, I suggested commons-only to make it easier for those of us that have crappy decks and/or not many rares, since I know we have a few people here that are newish/more casual. Meta would be interesting, too (Miracle isn't a deck, no more Azure Drakes and Argent Commanders... most viable 'zoo' deck would be like, Shaman or Hunter? idk).
Also you're the worst type of person for playing ramp Druid
Unrelated sidenote, Kolento just hit #1 Legend with this Pally deck, so I can just build that and save my dust for a Ragnaros instead of getting a Wrath, and have an actual finisher for multiple decks. Yay smart decisions.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

General crafting tips -
- Before crafting, do research into a few decks you'd want to play. Keep an eye on common card suggestions between the decks. It's easier to craft solid neutral/popular cards than save up to craft specific cards and then not have enough dust to craft other cards that have more uses.
- Craft good neutral rares first. Examples include: Azure Drake, Argent Commander, Knife Juggler, Defender of Argus, Sunwalker, Wild Pyromancer, Sunfury Protector, Stampeding Kodo, Violet Teacher, Young Priestess. I'd rank them somewhat in that order.
- Disenchanting a golden card gets you a regular same-rarity card of your choice. The exception is commons, which give 10 more dust. I personally disenchant golden commons if they're cards I'm never using, or even normal commons that suck (Wisp, Windfury Harpy, etc.). Keep in mind that the 'auto-disenchant' button will not disenchant normals or goldens if you have more than 2x between them (so if I have 2 Mind Control Tech and one Golden MCT, neither will go into the auto-DE button). If I like the golden enough, or if I use the card often, I'll disenchant one of the regulars and have 1 of each.
- I actually don't see the problem with crafting commons if you really need the cards for a deck, because it's sometimes harder to rely on pack pulls since you only get 4 (or less!) commons per pack anyway, and there's a lot. You lose a lot more dust if you pull extras, though, but I don't mind as much because it's worth it to have certain commons. I crafted both my Harvest Golems and have never pulled an extra; no regrets. Good neutral commons to craft - Harvest Golem, Loot Hoarder, Acolyte of Pain, Earthen Ring Farseer, Argent Squire, Ironbeak Owl (1), Scarlet Crusader, Spellbreaker (1).
- I personally would DE shitty golden legendaries into good ones. I DE'd a regular Lorewalker Cho to build a cheap Midrange Hunter deck, I'd totally get rid of a golden one for a Rag/Sylvanas/Cairne/Black Knight/Leeroy.
Class-specific rare cards to craft (although plenty of classes use specific neutrals, such as Injured Blademaster in Priest & Shaman, Twilight Drake in Warlock etc.):
Druid - Keeper of the Grove
Hunter - Savannah Highmane, Eaglehorn Bow for control/trap Hunter, Flare if you really like Hunter/Kolento midrange.
Mage - Kirin Tor Mage & Counterspell for Mage-Aggro, Blizzard for control.
Paladin - Equality, Aldor Peacekeeper
Priest - Auchenai Soulpriest, ???
Rogue - SI:7 Agent, Blade Flurry(?)
Shaman - Feral Spirit, Lightning Storm, Mana Tide Totem (1)
Warlock - Doomguard
Warrior - Frothing Berserker, Armorsmith
I'm sure some will disagree and/or add picks to this list.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

also in a meta filled with Azure Drakes I'm surprised you suggested Injured over Argent Commander, especially considering I've only seen Injured used in Shaman and Priest.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

This means of course that instead of building good decks like I intended I will be building ridiculously bad gimmick decks!
Grats!
Not gimmicky by any means, but I've been playing a budget version of Control Hunter, it's really fun to anyone that has a Baron/Rag/some Hunter rares. Slightly more gimmicky but also fun-looking (and recently popular) is Ancestral Shaman.
Alternatively, play30 different legendariesin one deck. Actually, I think you can only do maybe ~28 since a lot of them are class-bound. Add two Golden Wisps or something.

Why Gnomish over Azure Drake #2? It does come down a turn earlier, but Drake is better against Priest (4atk) and gives you much-needed spellpower for Lightning Storm for 3.
Mana Wraith is interesting. I personally hate the card, but if it works, it works.
I'm not a huge fan of double Argent Squire, but I tend to play against grindier decks where we're in topdeck mode the whole time and/or run it into Paladin/Warlock's Blood Knights. :s personal preference, though.
Thoughts on using Rag or Alexstraza in Shaman? Alex seems good since Shamans lack heals or get to mid/lategame without doing much damage sometimes.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

re: Hearthstone League
gonna try and get something up by August, will hold some sort of signups atleasta week beforehand once we get a definitive set-up.
I'll be running it with possibly AGar and HD (AGar PMed me; I just PMed HD) and I'm assuming we're also participating, which should not be a problem (I believe Song Contest organizers also participate). if it is, we can always do something like have people submit their match results in-thread rather than PM to an account. the former would clog up the thread slightly if we used this thread, and the latter would allow for some level of suspense.
anyway, feel free to suggest stuff and give opinions in here or PM me, just don't PM a signup yet because I'm not going to remember by the time we start it <_< also if anyone knows people that play Hearthstone but don't stop by the thread, feel free to tell them about this
[edit] it's most likely rares/commons/basics only.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

In post 528, Juls wrote:You didn't want to try my idea of a points system?
I do like the idea of a points system, I just have no idea how to balance that out. If it's not restrictive enough, there's no sense in having the system. But if it's too restrictive, people can just fill their decks with rares or lower anyway and again, it wouldn't change it. Plus, losing to a resolved Ysera, for example, just feels bad (even if the other player is running only a few other rares) and I'd rather simplify things and open up more deckbuilding options by not needing to play around epics/legendaries. (Also I'd probably make it 12/6/2 because odd numbers bug me).
We'll definitely discuss (and input is welcome of course, so if anyone would support a points system I'm all ears), I was just defaulting to the rares-or-lower choice as a starting point since there's a lot of details we need to iron out.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Also we can change up the system month-to-month or add things (I like the idea of 'challenges' myself), if there's enough prolonged interest.
I do know that a lot of classes might be nerfed hard (mostly Druid but fuck Druid <_<) by rares-only but hey, maybe it makes some lesser-used cards more viable.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

the biggest problem with 'winning' dust, is that it fucks over anyone who doesn't do well in the first week or two and then leaves them at the bottom.

I might be slightly anxious at the moment.
[edit] omg. Rogue w/ 2-use Assassin's Blade, I'm at like 7 and he has an Imp Master going (one imp spawned). He's at 19. I have a Faerie Dragon, play a Truesilver, attack his face (15). He plays Archmage + Spellbreaker, attacks me with Imp Master and Imp (5), attacks Faerie Dragon. Not that it would have mattered, because Truesilver takes him to 8 and I held onto an Argent Commander and BoK. 9:0.
[edit2] 10:0, had an amazing draw against a Priest. BoK is OP
[edit3] what is it with these priests... also fuck you topdeck mind control, my topdecks are better. 11-0, here we go

Crusher Shaman, with Argus/Blademaster/Flametongue Totems?
Priest with Blademaster/Argus/Sunfury and other huge HP creatures?
Ramp-y Druid with Marks of Nature/Wild?
Paladin Zoo with Blessing of Kings because that sounds hilarious?

sadly no, not yet. the way I've done deck tracking (mostly for arena) is alt-tabbing into a notepad file with my decklist and leaving it over the Hearthstone window when I'm not clicking anything.
match history, class stats, and it also lets you identify deck types (and I'm sure someone will yell at me for my card choices there) which is neat.
it's also easy to use and not very noticeable in terms of memory usage /advertisingIf you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

I have been having tons of fun with this priest deck.
First, you start with the basics: Northshire Clerics, Circles of Healing, Injured Blademasters, Auchenai Soulpriests. Then, add some removal (1 Shadow Word Pain, 2 Shadow Word Death, Holy Novas, Holy Fires). Throw in some extra card draw (Power Word Shields, Azure Drakes) and some removal assistance (Wild Pyromancers). And extra heals/Auchenai support (Earthen Ring Farseers).
Here's what we have:
2x Circle of Healing
2x Power Word: Shield
2x Northshire Cleric
1x Shadow Word Pain
2x Wild Pyromancer
2x Shadow Word Death
2x Earthern Ring Farseer
2x Injured Blademaster
2x Auchenai Soulpriest
2x Holy Nova
2x Azure Drake
2x Holy Fire
Same 23 cards that go in every Priest deck.
Now we get silly.
2x Nerubian Egg.
2x Defender of Argus.
2x Dark Iron Dwarf.
2x Abusive Sergeant.
And one Sunfury Protector.
The idea is you play like a normal Priest, except you have Nerubian Eggs. Sunfury/Defender up some PW:Shield-ed minions, Blademasters, or Eggs for defense. Use Abusives and Dark Irons for either pushing through damage (Drakes and Blademasters have trouble with bigger taunts). At least once every other match, I end up using a +2 atk buff to myopponent'screature to kill it with a SW:Death. Wild Pyro can also hatch Eggs pretty efficiently.
Just remember you have no Holy Smites or Thoughtsteals in this deck. Most of the time you won't want to play t1 Cleric (I'd even hold it til later and make sure you get value, unless you want to t2 PW:Shield).
I could see dropping one Abusive Sgt for either another Sunfury, a single Thoughtsteal/Holy Smite, or something else entirely. Shadow Madness or Loatheb probably. Sgt is a good way to cheaply remove an Innervate Yeti for example (w/ SW:Death), but it's vulnerable and worse than Dark Iron lategame. I might tinker with the list a bit. I think one Sunfury is the right call since there's some games you don'tneedthe Taunt.
Egg-ro Priest. It's fun and stuff.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

other 5-damage 'removal': Tirion's Ashbringer.
In post 729, Human Destroyer wrote:Besides, Maexxna isn't better than Emperor Cobra in most decks.
maexxna dies to all 'deathtouch'ers (cobra/maexx/lol patient assassin), SW:P, Assassinate, etc.
cobra dies to *insert long list of 3+ damage removal and minions* and the above.
being able to withstand more removal outweighs the benefits of maybe curving into Argus or something
Fen Creeper is more resistant to Silence and 5 damage removal (common ones being Kill Command/Holy Fire/Starfall/ArcReaper) and things like Doomguard whereas Belcher is better if you can get the extra 1/2.
In post 732, Human Destroyer wrote:Holy Fire is mana-inefficient
You also missed Starfire, which is--again--mana-inefficient.
a) Starfire isn't mana inefficient. 'Draw a card' is priced around 1.5-2 mana (Novice Engineer/Warlock Power). So for ~4 mana you get 5 damage. It's not as good as Fireball damage-wise but you trade one damage for tacking 'draw a card' and its mana onto one card. Hammer of Wrath is also 4 mana for the same effect (but two less damage), and that's run as a 1-of in Pally a lot. So you pay one mana per damage compared to that. Awkward for the curve maybe, but strictly not mana inefficient.
b) Holy Fire is similar. Except I would argue it'swaymore efficient being that one card is equal to 2 life according to the Warlock Power.
That's not even considering classes and their playstyles/restrictions; I will rarely have a problem with spending 6 mana to kill a Yeti as Priest given my other options.
[pedit]
Loatheb, Sylvanas, and Guardian of Kings are the only three I can think of that are actually decent.
Ancient of Lore
Ancient of War
Mukla (Backspace, Zoo occasionally)

Beat Heroic Loatheb on my first try. T1 Elven Archer, kill a Spore, next turn run it into the Fen Creeper. He drops a Shade, I kill it off with the help of an Unstable Ghoul and Haunted Creepers. Drop a Knife Juggler at some point, he does the Spore-wipe thing, has a Dancing Swords + Spore + 2x Charge-horses. Fuck. 5 mana, run out a UtH and Bluegill, kill a Spore and Dancing Swords with hound spawns+bluegill, leave me at 7 and him with a 2/3 charge and hero power. I have a 11/1 Juggler, 9/1 Argent Squire (no shield), and like 3 charge 9/1 hounds so I hit his face and drop him to ~40.
He drops a Faceless.
FUCK.
...
He copies the Knife Juggler.
So I hit him in his stupid face and win. Woohoo.

Also, Noth took me forever, but I beat him with a Mage deck that only ran two Mana Wyrm + Antonidas and Deathwing that I never drew.
Heigan was easier, running Pally control with Blessing of Wisdom for his 3/4 and eventually beating him down with Blessing of Kings on a Guardian of Kings.
And yeah, I'm like a week late on this. I put off Heroic because Noth was frustrating as fuck.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

It's like a conglomeration of Mill Druid, Token Druid and... Moonfire. Looks fun though.
Current deck I'm working with (in addition to playing around with Priest shenanigans - Eggro and Tank n Spank (Spectral Knight into Temple Enforcer too good)):
Control Hunter
BEST SYNERGY EVER:
2x Wild Pyromancer
2x Hunter's Mark
2x Acolyte of Pain
MORE CARD DRAW AND REMOVAL:
2x Loot Hoarder
2x Azure Drake
2x Arcane Shot
2x Deadly Shot
TRAPS N SHIT:
2x Explosive Trap
2x Freezing Trap
1x Snipe
1x Misdirection
2x Eaglehorn Bow
THE FINISHERS:
2x Savannah Highmane
1x Ragnaros, The Firelord
SILVER BULLETS:
1x Deathlord
1x Sen'jin Shieldmasta
1x Captain Greenskin
1x Loatheb
1x Sludge Belcher
Synergy - Wild Pyro + Hunter's Mark instakills whatever you want. Best against Zoo, assuming they've already hatched their Egg(s), and Druid bigstuff. Throw in Acolyte of Pain and you're guaranteed some card draw. Plus you can trigger Pyro off of traps and boost Arcane Shots too. Remember to play traps and Wild Pyro combo stuff in the right order or you'll kill your Pyro.
Card draw and Removal - Loot Hoarder is a great early play you should always try and mull for (or keep). Drakes may not seem that amazing, but not only does this deck need card draw, but occasionally you get value off of Snipe/Explosive/Arcane Shot + spellpower. Deadly Shot isn't great against fast Zoo openings or Shaman, but it's worth it to run two.
Traps n Shit - Explosive Trap is slightly less good against Zoo thanks to Nerubian Egg, but it just requires better timing. Still good against non-Egg swarm decks. It ends up being a finisher in other matchups. Freezing Trap is used to combat Druid Innervate plays, Zoo's Doomguards, and other problematic tempo plays. One Misdirection and one Swipe as a hedge against Zoo, because free Egg hatching sucks so two Snipes can be bad. Not sure how to feel about Misdirection though, I might swap it out for something else... Anyway, Snipe is good against Druid Innervate plays (with other assistance tools for stuff like Yeti), Shaman Unbounds, Azure Drakes, Auctioneers... only problem is if they have other creatures to attack with, it's easy to identify a Snipe. Eaglehorn Bow is good for constant pressure or early removal depending on the matchup and is very necessary to handle things like Feral Spirits or early Acolyte of Pain.
Finishers - Highmane and Rag. Rag doesn't typically get played until turn 10+. Be careful of playing either of these into Polymorph, Hex, or Shadow Word Death (or any removal in general but these are the worst ones). If necessary, try using other minions to bait out removal first. Keep Highmane in your opener in matchups where it's hard to deal with, notably Druid (maybe Warrior).
Silver bullets - I'm playing around with these last 5 slots. Taz is a good turn 4 play against aggro, Greenskin works wonderfully with an Eaglehorn Bow while laying down a threat that usually baits removal. Belcher is typically more useful than Taz, but I'm hedging 1-and-1 due to mana issues. Taz is actually the only 4-drop in the deck, which is usually fine given that Trap + Hero Power is a very common turn 4 for me. But sometimes you want the Taz. Loatheb is a great Tempo play when you're nearing the endgame, and I've had people waste their entire turn to deal with it (dat 8 mana Hex/Shadow Word Death) only for me to plop down a finisher or otherwise kill them. And finally, I'm testing a Deathlord. I don't think I want two, either lategame or against Control Warrior/Druid, but this deck has a lot of trouble when it gets low on life and Deathlord is such a good tempo play against Zoo. Plus, with Deadly Shots and Hunter's Mark I usually don't care if they get a big dude in return.

Double SW PainandCabal is interesting. Why not two Pyro? Worse against Eggs but does okay against Zoo otherwise and is amazing against Hunter.
Two Yeti is a solid choice, hard for other Priests to deal with. How's your Miracle matchup with only Sludge Belcher?

Current list I'm running:
2 Circle
2 Power Word Shield
2 Holy Smite
2 Northshire Cleric
2 Wild Pyro
1 SW:Death
2 Thoughtsteal
2 Deathlord
1 Earthen Ring
2 Blademaster
2 Soulpriest
2 Holy Nova
2 Azure Drake
1 Loatheb
2 Holy Fire
2 Cabal Shadow Priest
1 Ragnaros
Basically Trump's current list with Loatheb over Sylvanas. I might mess around with the 1 Pyro/1 Earthen Ring, maybe 1 Drake slots. But I do like Deathlord so far. It hasn't hit anything too problematic and really helps transition into the midgame against decks that have issues taking it out quickly. And Priest is great in the long game, so anything to make that easier is good. I've also grabbed Ancients and Loathebs with it for sort-of-value.
Also I just noticed your deck isn't playing Northshire? Do you have card draw issues between lack of Cleric and single Azure Drake? No Thoughtsteal makes sense because your deck looks more midrange-y, but that's also pseudo-card draw.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

playing Minion Mage in casual. priest match.
eventually go t10 Flamestrike into Duplicate
t11 Ragnaros, ping.
he drops a Rag.
I Faceless, put up an Ice Block, ping.
His Rag survives mine, and kills my Faceless Rag. Triggers Duplicate.
Rag eventually takes his out. He drops a Ysera at some point, I Polymorph it, next turn drop second Rag. Then a third Rag. Then I put another Duplicate up.
He Holy Fires my face, pops Ice Block, I Fireball his face and three Rags hit him for perfect 30.

I'd say Cairne, Sylv or Leeroy.
Cairne if you want to build more midrange stuff, Sylv for control or Priest, Leeroy is just strong.
Also Leeroy is good in Backspace Rogue and you can do stupid shit with Ancestral + Reincarnate, Faceless, etcIf you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Ancient is good if you're on parity/ahead andcanhelp when you're behind, depending how behind you are. FoN can be iffy if you're on parity, okay/good if you're ahead, and can be worse if you're behind.
if you had a second FoN and lots of card draw, I could maybe see it, but both Ancients are great in Arena and I'd probably take them unless your curve was something really sillyIf you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

I crafted a Leeroy and am climbing the ladder with Hunter.
I feel bad, but yet... I don't.
[edit] Undertaker, coin Leper Gnome, Druid hero power/kills Gnome, t2 Mad Scientist attack with 3/4, Druid Innervates Keeper to kill Scientist (?), t3 second Scientist, second Gnome attack with 5/6... concede.
