Shiv is fine. I just don't like it that much. I used to alternate between that and Violet Teacher depending on what matchups I was running into, but I switched to one Journey Below instead, as I think it's a lot better since it can give you an extra bit of reach in longer matchups where that extra big minion can give you that bit of damage you need to close out a match, use it to find a minion just to contest the board early on (especially if you dont draw any minions) and it's just a cheap spell to cycle with auctioneer.
Shadowstep you probably wanna take out though. You kinda just use that with Leeroy for that 20 damage combo (Leeroy double cold blood shadowstep), but I honestly haven't seen it played at all since the expansion came out. It'd probably be useful in a reno miracle rogue though.
too bad he had Leeroy in his deck so I knew I couldn't stabilise at 2hp.
Also holy ****, Yogg you champion. Pulled out Ice Block, Mirror Entity + Eye for an Eye. He played Malygos into double sinister strike, so he basically lethaled himself through it.
just to clarify something: casual has its own hidden ranking system, and therefore u will face players based on your W-L strictly, rather than a tiered ranking system (ladder). think of legend ranks but invisible and spanning the entire breadth of players. thus, if u do really well early on, like escurai may have done, you end up playing people with very high W-L. afaik there is little to no barrier for new players facing veterans in casual
one of the reasons why i never bother with casual anymore, since its matchmaking is basically worse than ladder imo. granted, you can face fun decks in casual, but i don't think it's worth it.
Also my Rag never doesn't go face. 50/50, oops goes face. Next turn, 2 minions on board, still goes face, lul. Kinda funny though because that 16 damage was the only damage I did to his face and the rest he did from tapping, before it set up lethal for me lul.
malygos was the first legendary I opened I think. It was either that or Ysera.
Also man, what's with all the zoo on ladder rn. I swear hardly anybody was playing it last season and now it's basically every second game. Even Shaman is hardly seen. (Only when I play Rogue cuz game hates me).
the game just doesn't want me to play rogue. i only recently got my first prep, never had edwin/malygos/thalnos. i did get xaril as my first legendary of this expansion tho lol
