(Hearthstone) Your Daily Dose of Tess Greymane 

meh, needs Yogg Saronn, then Tess.

Academic espionage into toki time tinkerer, which pulls a yogg saron. Honestly so down to see that.

This is one of the few decks Kibler enjoys playing consistently, blame it onto the increasingly faster stale HS meta.

Frogg Saron?

Big Oof

That sounds really believable. And neat. Nice dream, but sad dream.

NO! Tess + Yogg 4 life. I ship it.

Still a better love story than twilight

You're really Tessting our patience here

It's so much better than stuff like big spell mage!

For real yeah

What are you pipering out? That's an honest question, I don't think the idea is terrible just because piper is such a great card but I'm struggling to think of anything in particular you'd want to tutor out instead of just playing decent early game minions.

i think he means to pull out a 1-cost minion from espionage

Oh right, duh. That doesn't sound worth it to me then, after you espionage most of your deck is discounted cards anyway so that just sounds generally worse than more efficient card draw and has the added downside of being weak before you set it up. When minstrel rotates it might be worth looking into but I can't imagine you'd be able to fit both and drawing two cards is better than one if my math is right.

It can lead to some big swings against classes with good minions. I've tutored out a tirion against Odd Paly to save the day tons of times, but it's also a very inefficient tempo play, so it's not always worth it. Also if you run Firefly you have a 50/50 to get firefly or a 1mana AE minion

Ebin.

its good for tempo and gets the 1 cost cards from espionage faster

It does, but so does the other sprint, as well as auctioneer. The deck has a full hand frequently enough after first Auct or Sprint. Also... Despite the name, Sprint is the opposite of "tempo".

idk, full hand doesnt necessarily mean you have sufficient good hand ,sprint is used to help refill after dumping your op 1 cost cards and helps get some spiders

Zilliax is pretty important since you need some healing in the deck. Maybe some other healing card like shroom brewer?

It doesn't do that - Geist only hits spells that cost 1 originally.

Makes room for more stuff and Zilliax makes it less important. He has a 45ish minute video explaining all the card choices over on omnislash, well worth watching.

If I recall correctly, he said that if you're only running Academic Espionage for stolen cards, it's rarely good enough. You also need deadly poisons to make it good in the first place, and he doesn't feel those are worth running over other cards in the deck.

from sindragosa with his 2 frozen champion

@@sev343 Oh, thanks. I forgot about that

no

You got zilliax? How lucky

bc_77 Yeah, Jaina. Not something like Gul'Dan, Rexxar, or Malfurion or anything. :^)

Look again. His hand filled due to the auctioneer on board. At 12:19 you can count 9 cards in hand when he played it, so he drew one card from auctioneer (arcane explosion), and then drew Aluneth, and burned the last 2 cards (notice Frozen Clone plays the burn animation rather than book of specter's discard animation).

You should tell your mom about that time you posted first. She'll be really proud of you.

No such thing

Not enough*
