What Would You Do? Week 2

12/8/2015

Welcome to the 2nd edition of our new THL blog series "What Would You Do?"



For those of you that are new, this is a blog where we will pick a few scenarios from the latest streamed THL matches. The scenarios will be where instead of the player on the stream playing, we are going to give our plays for the upcoming turn instead. If you can give an explanatio as to why you chose such a play, it will help out the newer players in the league understand your way of thinking. We will also give you some helpful tips to aid in your decision.


Our Rules:
  • We become the player on the bottom of the screen and we decide what we would do next in the upcoming turn.
  • Opponents cards are blanked out as well as anything that could give you the answer.
  • 5 pieces of helpful information will be given to you in order to help you decide your turn.
  • Use facebook to tell us what you would do.

So now that you know the rules, lets bring our first Scenario

​

​

N00basaurus (Archon Storm) vs Jaxox (Entropy)


This was definitely a highly anticipated match up. Archon Storm vs Entropy has been no stranger to the schedule in recent seasons and even though Entropy are likely to see it as more of a rivalry than Archon Storm, they are here to upset the party at the top of the blue league table.
We will be playing the role of N00basaurus
We have placed into the hands of the famous Secret Paladin.Secret Paladin is hated on for being a cancer deck, but can be surprisingly difficult to play sometimes. With so many early game cards in possession and against such a board controlling deck, can we maximize our next turn so that it sets us up for the rest of the game on a better standing?


Here are 5 helpful hints to consider:
  1. The opponent has 3 cards in hand
  2. the coin is available
  3. The voidwalker is proving a formidable 1 drop and saves his minions this turn
  4. Shielded Minibot is regarded as one of the best 2 drops in the game
  5. Knife Juggler can combo with Haunted Creeper or Muster for Battle next turn.

Sargeanthendog99 (Angry Chicken Fan Club) vs grim (Team Soupreme)


Angry Chicken Fan Club and Team Soupreme are 2 teams that were predicted great things of back in pre season Tavern Talk. Now they get to square off in what is essentially, a huge war for a playoff spot.
We will be playing the role of Sargeanthendog99
So in this match we are up against a high board swinging mech shaman deck and we dont actually have board control right now, but we do have some options that can turn the game in our favour. But we do need to be careful because our life is getting low and Mech decks love to prey on the weak.


Here are 5 helpful hints to consider:
  • The opponent has 3 cards in hand
  • The opponent used the coin on turn 1 and played a 2 mana cost Annoy-o-Tron
  • Direwolf Alpha was played recently in order to turn our Nerubian Egg into a 4/4
  • Loatheb is available and is guarenteed a 2 for 1 trade
  • Bane of Doom has been known to produce some game changing minions (Malganis)

Big thank you to Slimsch for giving me the Twitch timestamp technique.

Scenario 1 Results
N00basaurus vs Jaxox

Here is the link to Scenario 1 VOD so that you can see exactly what happened:
http://www.twitch.tv/teamhearthleague/v/28503238?t=0h45m25s


So what ends up happening is that N00basaurus plays Knife Juggler. This just spells disaster for the beginning of the game for him as the next turn Jaxox throws down a Nerubian Egg and an abusive seargant that empowers the haunted creeper. The creeper kills the Knife Juggler and Jaxox has 5 minions on the board. N00b goes up against this big board with no consecration in his hand and still no real clean way to kill the void walker. He uses Muster but it sets Jaxox to go far ahead in board control, which is exactly what a Zoolock loves. Consecration never comes and Jaxox wins the game.

This is another perfect example of how 1 misplay can cost you to go way behind, regardless of if its turn 1, 2 or 10.

Scenario 2 Results
SergeantHenDog99 vs Grim

Here is the link to Scenario 1 VOD so that you can see exactly what happened:
http://www.twitch.tv/teamhearthleague/v/28503238?t=1h34m32s

The discussion on facebook went in the right direction here I feel. As this play does actually involve bane of doom as he runs the 4/4 into the spider tank, leaving him with 1 health and uses bane of doom on the mechwarper. Cogmaster is returned to 1/2 as there are no mechs on the board but SgtHendog99 is rewarded nicely as a 5/4 voidcrusher comes out. So effectively he removes all mech synergy and still has 2 minions on the board. Grim does not have an answer to this and the game gets completely turned around. SGTHD99 wins from here on out and gets to curve out into his super big minions.


And there you have it, 2 scenarios from completely different POV's Please Let us know your answers and leave your comments and discussions on our facebook group page. The actual plays for these scenarios will be revealed in our blog within the next 48 hours.
We will be back next Tuesday with scenarios from next weeks stream highlights.
