Thanks for the codes Blizzard!
So as of today, it seems I’m going to be a parent. Something could still go wrong in the next 3 months or so, but pretty much just the normal pregnancy complication possibilities. IVF is complete!

at Blizzcon or something. I have DM'd
@blitzchung
about this (response still pending) and would like any potential profits to go to him. I will also take down the listing at his discretion.
I have some Lich King and Diablo bundles to give away just in time to open the new Mercenaries in packs!
Please reply with your fav merc so far or which of the Nov 2 mercs you're most excited for!

So..... This happened on stream today. Title was literally "Clowning Around Top 500."
I definitely took some Priests by surprise when I sent in the Clowns. All 4 waves of them. Even better when I get a Rabbit off of Studies.
This is my highest rank ever btw😆
Up late editing the show with my assistant, Weiss!
What’s that? We have UIS codes from Blizzard to give out?
How can people win them?
They have to like, follow, and reply with their favorite pet pic or meme?
Weiss says we’ll pick the 5 winners on Monday, Aug 2nd!
Good luck!
I can finally announce that I am casting this weekend’s Master’s Tour!!
I’ll have to make sure to play some more games on actual meta decks instead of just the ones I break it with 🤭
The first Masters Tour of the year is this weekend!
🏆 Starting at 9 am PDT on April 22 - 23, 16 players from around the world are competing for their share of the $50,000 prize pool and an invite to the 2023 World Championship!
I spent most of my life trying to suppress who I am. When I came out I made every effort to hide my past.
It’s only the last couple years that I’ve decided to be open about being trans. It’s terrifying, but also gratifying, & I couldn’t have done it w/o Coin Concede’s community
Congratulations to Bunnyhoppor for his win in this first week of Grandmasters: Last Call!
I had a blast casting this weekend and I really appreciate all the kind words and support I've received! Would love to cast again, but if this is the last time, it's been a pleasure! 💙💙💙
Just got back home after spending the morning at the statehouse. Assuming they accept my form, I’ll be testifying in opposition of Ohio HB 68 next week. I do not relish having to do another 5 hours of driving, but it’s a small price to fight for what I believe in.
For those curious, the reason for no cams from the UK casters this weekend is because it is swelteringly hot. Air conditioning isn't common in the UK, so to force someone to heat their home office further by having proper lighting set up would be needlessly cruel.
Umm.....
@bmkibler
what did you do?!?
I thought I'd play your quest priest for a change of pace and I proceeded to go 9-0 to legend with it.
Against the matchups you'd think would destroy a quest priest no less.
I'm gonna assume people let their guard down when they saw quest
Mmm mmm mmm
Snake has never tasted so good!
Climbed from Diamond 4 to Legend with this list. Reno gives the deck a way of actually dealing with otherwise unbeatable resources like portal and nest. Depending on the Snake change tomorrow all I would do is swap out Theotar.
It's been requested that I post my Quest Shaman list so... here it is. Main tech cards are Devolving Missiles and Cult Neophyte. You can get 20 damage with hero power + bloom + 2x Cumulo
Enjoy!

So I have been playing since release and in all that time I have never gotten a double legend pack.
Last pack of my monthly rewards and...
OH BABY A TRIPLE!!!!!
After messing around a ton, this shot in the dark has been an INCREDIBLE success. Finished up the legend climb and nothing feels unwinnable if you plot out your turns right. Make sure to copy Frozen Touch off Volume Up.
Enjoy!
Since I'm out of town and can't stream, you'll have to make do with Twitter content. Used this on my climb to legend to counter quest priest and I have to say it is deeply satisfying. Plenty of early removal for aggro and tons of damage from Touch/Ignite against slower decks.
HS being called expensive is so foreign to me having played Magic all my life. FtP is a lie for any game. It is a choice to pay with time or money. Some may have better or worse rewards, but if you want to criticize corporate “greed” you should direct your ire at Capitalism.

Also, this was my first time getting to cast with the full rotation! Everyone was super welcoming and helpful. People say don’t meet your heroes but I can honestly say they were a delight to work with. I definitely have a lot to learn but this weekend was a dream come true!
I have the ok to announce that I will be streaming decks from the new set on my channel tomorrow from 9am PT - 3pm PT!
Same as the “Theorycrafting Livestream events” but with no main stream and no submission contest.
Twitch link in my profile
Hope to see you there tomorrow!
Was gonna wait till the official tweet tomorrow to announce but y’all are too good at finding things as soon as they drop 😅
I have continued to open up more than my typical comfort zone so this is a scary moment for me. Still, I don’t want to make decisions out of fear anymore
I can finally share this AMAZING news!!
This is why I've been mysterious about my stream/podcast upgrades for the last month😁
Thank you so much to GenG, USbank and Pathra for helping me with pursuing my passions!
Tune in to see how
@Pathra
was able to help her community member Raisa upgrade her stream setup, work towards creating a safe space, and open dialogue for women in the gaming industry. A HUGE thank you to
@usbank
for helping make this happen! 🌟
📺:
Ahh, yes. Because NO male players have ever missed a slightly unintuitive lethal before. Nope that definitely has NEVER happened.
I really need to keep chat closed when I watch big events.
Ok, I have been cleared for this one photo that has her face because it’s so darn cute. It’s crazy how different she looks now compared to even this image from last week after we just got back from the hospital.
Huge congratulations to Tansoku for the win! Couldn’t have asked for a better final to close out an epic top 8! So many 5 game matches. I can’t express how happy I am to have had to opportunity to cast this weekend and I hope that this is just the beginning. Well played all!

Predictions:
- Crabrider to 1/3
- Conviction to +2 attack
- Madkrik (from Olgra) to 3/8 or less because a dragon should be able to kill an angry orc
- Incanter's Flow to 3 mana
- Hysteria to 4 mana (I admit this one is a bit of a hope more than I actually think it will happen)
81% winrate (22-5) from 4 to Legend with DeathstarV3's hunter. Not sure what we would call this deck.... Relies heavily on beast synergies and knowing what minion you need to dire frenzy in different matchups. Master's Call always hits 3 so I guess... Horn Hunter?
Whew, after an all nighter playing in WESG qualifier B I managed to surpass my 3rd place finish and win it all with these! Shoutouts to all my opponents: Kid Zesty, SleepyBear,

Soooooo I'm not looking forward to mirrors but this MIGHT not be bait.
Had a fantastic stream today with this beauty!
Keep calm and Noble Mount your Troggs.

@PlayHearthstone
, Why is treant not a type? It feels like Waste Warden is a tech card meant for dealing with wide boards such as the ones treants make but instead they're treated like any other card and it just does 3 damage to one of them.

I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to be working for a company I believe in. Esports is growing fast and I will be proud to contribute to NSGs role in that growth for those looking for their breakout moment!
I still sometimes get anxious that upon leaving a public women’s restroom there will be a group of men waiting to beat me up for being trans.
Nothing remotely like this has ever happened to me, but the fear is still there even after doing all the physical and legal changes 😞
Any regrets I have about not being the first are completely blown out of the water by getting to see a woman win the championship so much sooner than I could ever have imagined!
We have a long way to go, but this is a great start for women in esports!
How did I go this long playing hearthstone and only now learn that the formula for fatigue damage is F=n(n+1)/2 ???
where n = the number of cards drawn with no deck
Although I admit, this is mostly for fun because shellfish hits super lethal numbers like n=24. F=24(25)/2=300
Years ago I won a HS wallet at a Fireside Gathering. I picked the larger "women's" wallet because I knew someone else who placed lower wanted the smaller "men's" wallet. It has since gone with me all over the world in spite of its impractical size. Today I lost it. RIP HS wallet
With the due date coming up in August but the possibility of the baby being born at any point in July, we’ve decided to go ahead and post our registry now.
Anything you can contribute is appreciated!
Had a super fun climb to legend with uhhhh.... Control Demon Hunter? We'll go with that.
Initially had Ancient Void Hounds and Felscreamers but sadly ended up thinning down to just the threats that go face right away.
3 Rags feels great
Ever wake up and realize you disclosed something the day before that had been kind of a big secret about yourself and it hasn’t really sunk in yet what the ramifications might be?
I feel like it was already a kind of open secret but still. Feels weird.
Had a nice long stream today, thank you to everyone who joined and to
@languagehacker_
for the raid!
After realizing there were more people trying to beat Druid than actual Druids, I switched to this ultra bait deck and.... *sigh*
What is this I can't even
Celebrated Edelwife’s graduation tonight!
I am now a proud rebbetzin to “Rabbi Davidson” 🥰
Believe it or not, those deserts are vegan. This restaurant (Vedge) is truly a wonder.
Here's my lineup that I used to win the 3rd and final
@sggamerpro
HS qualifier. Pretty sure this win guarantees me a spot in the championship
Well played to all my opponents today!
Thank you to Enya for creating the perfect music for my competitive endeavors
Update: I have received the go ahead from Blitzchung and any profits from these shirts will go to him. Remember, speaking out cost him his job. I believe it is only right that we do what we can to support him for using his platform at such risk to his livelihood.
The delightful woman who helped raise me!
I said today that I’m not as successful as my siblings, who are a developer and lawyer respectively, and she got very emotional telling me that it made her sad to hear me say that. That I shouldn’t think of success only by finances. 🥺💕
No stream today. I got some sudden news and will be spending the afternoon with a friend while I still can.
I leave you instead with this Frozen Mage deck. Took me from 2k to under 1k and I'm sure could have taken me further if I played it on stream today.
My wife and I adopted a cat! She is about 6 or 7 years old and very cuddly with people even though she hates other animals. She can also be a bit of a diva.
After debating names for a while we finally settled on Weiss, like the character from RWBY.
I'm super excited to be joining Coin Concede as their third host! It's been something on the table for a while but the timing was never quite right until now. I hope I can continue to provide unique insights, even if I misread a card from time to time 😆
there's an episode coming out tonight that has both
@SwagoiEdelweiss
AND an amazing guest - but you'll notice edelweiss isn't mentioned specifically... because why would we mention our third permanent host every show? :)
welcome to the team,
@SwagoiEdelweiss
!
Hot take because I can’t sleep.
Paladin and Warrior would be minimum tier 2 right now if we just deleted starfish.
Mass silence in neutral is a crazy powerful tool and 40 cards means more spots for techs. 40 life hinders lethality and then starfish bails the slow deck out.
Couldn’t afford to have them apply it but they recommended some products. Bit of a messy first attempt but I’ll get better over time. Eye liner is exceptionally challenging for me because I twitch when things are near my eye and when I close my eyes the lid practically vibrates
Got my first leg of the climb in with Quest Shaman and it's been going better than anticipated. I'm sure it's partially doing well because people are keeping useless stickyfingers, but I love all the options each game with discovered spells. Thanks to everyone who came to watch!
All I’ve ever wanted was to survive. As someone who came out late (20) I’m lucky to pass as well as I do and not have had any successful suicide attempts.
They want us to either die or be easily identifiable from late transitions. For which we may have violence inflicted on us.
The last 3 months, we have seen trans people:
- referred to as pedophiles/groomers
- called "an infection"
- "need to be morally mandated out of existence"
Parents of trans people are investigated. Health care may be pulled.
The eugenics/genocide language is turned up to 11.
We all have our strengths and weaknesses.
I am better at correctly following the recipe each time.
My wife is WAY better at braiding the dough.
Happy Chanukah (day 6) and Shabbat Shalom!
I'm excited to announce that I will be casting this weekend's

Looking forward to seeing how things shape up post nerfs!
A MAJOR congrats to our winner of The Oracle Awards for Murder at Castle Nathria:
@SwagoiEdelweiss
!! 🥳🥳🥳
She's won 20 Premium codes to give away to her community and the esteem of saying "I told you so" with all the data to back it up. 😁
Details updated in the blog post.
I have played very nearly 24 hours of HS since the set came out (yes, I forgot to sleep) and it continues to amaze me just how much there is to explore. This is easily my favorite set ever. It’s not even close.
Great work!!
@GW_Alec
@PlayHearthstone
I was scheduled to cast this MT, but due to an overwhelming level of bullshit in mine and my wife's lives in the last week or so we need a mental health break to lie in bed and do nothing.
No need to panic, I'm fine, we're fine. Just not in the mental state to entertain you atm.
For anyone looking to ruin the day of some Warriors. Gotta be careful of silence but generally if a Prelate dies 1 time you're good
Cool interaction:
If Undatakah get's Tirion's deathrattle with prelate's even once, it is considered an "enchantment" and will be permanent.
I swear I've done 50+ runs (honestly maybe 100+ with the comp I was using) of Barrens Heroic 2, trying to get tasks this evening.
I got ONE.
Please send your positive rng vibes my way because I'm in hot potato hell.
@IksarHS
Your AMAs were such a memorable contribution and really helpful for peeling back the curtain a bit to understand how the game is made. Gonna miss all your insights and I look forward to anything you choose to work on in the future.
