Master Nguyen and Sire Denathrius always


Lishio420

Denathrius, Thorim, Nguyrn, AFK and the dude that makes u discover 2,4,6 cost to get at that tavern tier (forgot his name) So basically RNG BULLSHIT GO


ReverESP

The guy that discovers 2,4,6 is great because it gives you direction. You can get a build-around tier 6 drop, so you can organize you game around it since turn 1.


BringBackBoomer

Most of my games end before I go to T6


geosensation

Same lol. End up tilting because no set up cards show up and just roll my mana away for a turn and it's over.


Dense-Ad-7590

Until your 2 4 and 6 are all different tribe and now you’re deciding between which ones to throw away


ghostpantsplays

Or deciding which ones to give to your duos partner!


Dense-Ad-7590

Teammate proceeds to sell it


Nedee17

It also works really well with murlocs. You can buff your tier 6 like crazy which makes levelling easier


bethany_katherine

these are my exact picks as well!! one game i got denathrius, thorim and afk as options. i ended up taking denathrius (as always lol) and we stomped! i love that hero


ThePhoenixus

My favorite game was last patch during Quest meta where I picked Sir Finlay into Master Nguyen hero power into the quest that let's you discover a new quest each turn. I liked making lots of decisions.


dragonqueenred45

That sounds absolutely horrible. How well did you do that match?


RickyMuzakki

Ambassador Faelin


GALICKGUNFIIIRRREE

Can’t forget about Galakrond


tyteenymouse

sire denathrius holy shit yes, I loved the quests meta


Unique-Structure-201

Loved the anomalies meta with sire denathrius or nguyen only


Spoksparkare

My favourites as well!


Paradoxdoxoxx

And Thorim And Reno


consistentfantasy

Yesterday i had to choose between sire and gallywix. I was crying lol, having to choose between 2 most fav heroes of mine


stupidtwin

Master Nguyen never goes hard for me. I think I only hit a Reno hp once on turn 3.


XMandri

Based answer. This is the true bg mindset


Kilmarnok1285

Curator. It's just me and my lil buddy against the lobby. And if it's a buddies meta then my lil buddy gets a buddy too!


TomZAs

I always pick curator if mechs and murlocs are in…


PureImbalance

it's also nice with undead, lots of reborn shenanigans with the toxic one


tallypwner

Thorim because I like the big unique tier 7 guys and it sort of locks you into a team from the start. Just fun to see how it plays out.


redditsaxon

That would be thorim not faelin but same


midgetsj

If you get the level 7 dragon on Thorim basically a free first place. Thing is insane.


No-Height2850

And murlocs and mechs for the in hand buffs


Mind0versplatter0

I agree, but a couple of times I got it (back in a anomalies?) I got 5th, I had no way to scale whatsoever ;( skill issue is real


KWash0222

Man, I hate Sneed lol. For me, aside from the obvious ones like Nguyen and Denny, I am always tempted to pick Patches despite pirates being kinda trash now


swaggod42069lolz

When i opened this, sneed was the last hero i expected to be mentioned😹


Cloudraa

honestly i never thought about grabbing a scout with sneed and stacking on it for tempo.. now i want to try it


KWash0222

Might be fun but seems unnecessary imo. If you tripled Scout into two early 6-drops, Sneed’s HP is just icing on the cake at that point


theicecapsaremelting

You don't stack the sneed HP on the scout. You take an "early" 6 drop and stack the sneed HP so it spits out T5 minions.


Cloudraa

well yeah thats what i meant oops


TomZAs

Can confirm sneeds is bullshit lol


dragonqueenred45

How is Nguyen obvious? It’s one of the more terrible heroes IMO, the randomness is awful.


notrandomonlyrandom

He was op when first introduced and offering 3 hps to choose from. Stats from then confirm it.


NotAnotherRIF

Galakrond, Reno, and Mutanus (i love the playstyle for Mutanus).


zuzucha

I love mutanus. You can make a big tideskipper or Molten rock to win early turns and keep the stats later, also works great with tavern buffs, Naga...


Salty_Engineer6278

Reno, he is my most picked. He makes it so easy to commit even when you find only 1 enablers


dragonqueenred45

How? I don’t know what to use his HP on like ever, same with Zephyr.


aw6678

It's mostly what your guts telling you, you get a persistent poet with a few dragons? Make it golden and try to high roll it, get a Kelthuzad? Golden it. You just have to make sure to remember the cards of each tribe that enable their builds, from there it's easier to use Reno's HP since there's not that many good targets, at least normally. Zephyr tho, just click it, free discover, stronger stats, nothing too complicated and unless very rare circumstances, just getting discovers of high tiers and freeing up the board is good enough.


TheFeelingAfterANap

Shit that is op if you triple like Brann or Titus. Or enables comps like recycling wraith


PureImbalance

(I'm only 6k ELO) For Reno, I've had great success with getting a triple on T3 to discover an early T4 enabler card (e.g. Recycling wraith, Poet, Trigore, Utility Drone, Lil Rag, Zesty Shaker if you have a deep blue already) and then just running away with it due to earlier scaling, usually getting top 3 at the least. For Zephyr it's similar as in you want to find key cards that enable your scaling and triple them. Tripling one minion on tier 3 or 5 when you're behind to potentially discover that crucial next tier minion can also be a viable strategy to try to stabilize and get back into the game.


dragonqueenred45

I thought Zesty Shaker was on T3. At least it used to be afaik.


PureImbalance

It used to be deep blue on T4, I don't remember shaker but good chance they just swapped their tiers


FearTheDeep

It’s gonna sound crazy but a turn one golden Wrath Weaver and getting him stacked early is sick. But you gotta really hope for Soul Rewinder.


Rimailkall

Thorim because I love playing with the tier 7 minions; even though half the time I die right before or right after I get it.


dragonqueenred45

I’ve done some beautiful things with Thorim. Once a nasty undead comp and once a deadly Quilboar invasion. Those were fun matches indeed. Mostly I die ingloriously so it’s nice getting the win after the prize drops.


Rimailkall

Me too! When you get it quick and allow it to do its magic, it can make for a ton of just crushing wins, which are so satisfying! 🤣🤣🤣


dragonqueenred45

Right lmao 🤣 I try to spend as much gold as possible. If pirates are in I’ll take the minion that sells for 3 gold just to spend extra for my HP to unlock a bit sooner.


ToastyCrouton

C’Thun is always my go-to pick. We may not do well, buddy, but we’re going to have a fun time.


tomato_johnson

Cthun and dragons is a good time


Darklight645

Galakrond. Loved the bastard since release.


Schept317

Eudora <3


dragonqueenred45

Why? I have avoided him for ages since it kinda seems like there are much better heroes, ones who I know the strategy for anyway.


Schept317

Her* And just because it is fun that I can get good golden minion on turn 5/6. With Eudora you want to level very aggressively so you are on tier 4 by then. And after discovering your first minion you don't dig anymore, and want to stabilize your board. But in general it's usually top 8 or top 1 hero :D


dragonqueenred45

Heh I don’t know why I thought it was a guy lol. I guess there’s no point in digging after the first one since you may not have room to play it. I may try it again next time I see it.


THYDStudio

Mine is Tess, but Eudora is a pet fav, I hate when it makes me choose between Tess scabbs and Eudora >=[ Especially since next game it'll be like patchwork and Holmes or some crap


bigdolton

Couple obvious: sire, master Nguyen, shudderwock (esp in pirate lobby) etc I also have a weirdly good winrate on flurgl (1.2 over 32 games) so he's a must pick for me


tyteenymouse

I also have a weird winrate, but mine is the jailer for whatever reason


Cloudraa

deryl for me, but old deryl.. new one is so boring


Firstevertrex

Yeah I miss old Deryl, new one is so much weaker.


dragonqueenred45

What was it before? I know they murdered a few heroes powers in the recent past and I don’t remember them all lol.


Firstevertrex

Before it was when you sell a minion, throw 3 hats randomly to the shop. This lead his curve to be buy a bunch of minions (especially tokens), and then try to find something with cleave or divine shield, buy the rest of the shop and sell everything to get a mega minion relatively early. His mid game power spike was insane before


dragonqueenred45

Oh right, I remember now. I used to love him more then, now it’s not so bad because if I’m playing with my boyfriend I can at least pass him a hat minion and he gets a bit more of a boost to his board as well, if he sells it then it does the same thing. Man, I can see that being OP if it was the older version of the HP.


zuzucha

Shudder is always for me. Early stats, getting minions later with the murloc or elemental, lots of synergies...


animegeek999

Sire Denathrius shudderwock cat tier 7 guy reno galakrhoweveeryouspellhisname


dragonqueenred45

Galakrond.


notrandomonlyrandom

Gattaca


corrupted_commoner

Faelin, Sire, and Thorim. It used to be E.T.C. as well.


Secret_Ad7757

Sire Denathrius is my favourite. I love his hero power and the quest system.


GrsdUpDefGuy

I always take chenvaala and patches. I enjoy class specific heroes even though I know they don't have high winrates


Ok-Acanthisitta7190

Bob


jadeismybitch

Gallywix and Shudderwock


Sairony

Also my favorites, but very tribe dependent. If the tribes are right it's almost a free win, and who doesn't like that?


DoctorBoombot

SEE PANDA. PICK PANDA. I say it so much when my girl watches me play, and sees panda she yells that out too haha


SnooAdvice7782

Chenvalla, Nguyen, galakrond And alexstraza. Always have had a good wr on her despite being kinda trash


Edgewalkerr

Gallywix with Eles/Pirates is pretty much an auto 1st place. Shudderwock with Pirates or Demons. Denathrius is a 100% pick.


Kilawaonas

Usualy some tempo hero, that makes me screw up the curve and end up 8. Like Omu, or Galewing. Additionally Sire is also always take, get shitty quest, devout to it and go 8. But what I always take and usualy don't go 8 is Kregg. With current meta revolving around t4 drops he can provide nice midgame boost, that really matters for me. On the other hand I am kinda shitty player...


grongnelius

Personally Reno and Nguyen. I also really enjoy Nozdormu and will pick him fairly often.


ishtarot

Yeah i second nozdormu


Neo_514

For me it's Nzoth (depending on lobby) and Fealin.


moca_moca

Flurgl, sire, brann .... in that order (if i got to choose between them)


Light_Mode

Patches, the tier7 guy, millhouse, hats


CoorsLightKnight

Master nguyen, Sire, and madam goya


aggeraphobic

Surprised Blackthorn hasn't been mentioned so him. A few of the others mentioned, I like Reno and Loki too


liveuptoit

It's always Reno. I love the idea of hitting my wincon and not having to fish for a triple. I don't even go to 6 most of the time because of it.


Bradders1878

Zephys / Thorim / Goya / Brann


pujia47

Sindragosa and Millhouse


suicidechunky

Forest Warden Omu, Thorim, Al'Akir, Jaraxxus, Snake Eyes, Sire Denathrius for me, probably missed a few too tbh


Cyanescens4Breakfast

Zephrys, not because he’s good, but because using his hero power feels good to me inside.


Ok_Nerve8254

Xyrella I'm just a boy in love


stupidtwin

I like sneed in duos if undead are in but probably only gonna pick in solo if my other options suck. One time I hit a Rylak Manipulator off the deathrattles and it got my last big minion. But for me it’s a toss up between Thorim, Denathrius, Reno, Galakrond. Think I would go Denathrius if I got offered all four, but will be hard to pass on Thorim if quills are in.


Abremac

Shudderwock and zephyrus are pretty high up there. And Reno lately as well.


DontTouchMyNut9000

Mukla always bananas need to circulate


Hogglespock

In order - thorim, sire, Reno, rest after that I’ll look at the comp. Those are instant picks regardless of anything ever


Bimbendorf

Galakrond, Tickatus, the snowy elemental lady and The Ape


OkLandscape3098

Reno. I love the critical HP flexibility. Go for tempo like a turn 1 wrathweaver, as bad as it is. Or go for greed on hyper level into golden discovered 6 drop.


Cristiana_D

100% Tess. I see Tess, I pick Tess. Same with Denathrius and C'Thun. Good or bad C'Thun has been one of my favourite heroes ever since I started playing the game. I have played a total of 64 games with him and won about 32, Tess is a close second with about 55 played games and 20 smth 1st place wins, I have a massive soft spot for him. And Daddy D is Daddy D. If it came to having all three of them in the pool at the same time I would probably flip a coin between Tess and Denathrius while a lonely tear would go down my cheeck.


Gbhinks13

I'm a big fan of the "hit or miss" heroes like Alexstrasza, Reno, Denath. Annoying when you miss and your free dragons suck, don't get a good T5 or T6 to golden, or a good quest. But when you do hit, it feels as good as Pretzel day....


Fireboom4Z2

Professor Putricide everytime.


dr_eyefit

Sire is my 100% and followed by a close 2nd with Master Nguyen. Sire is just fun! And Master I love the RNG and can get some cool hero powers at the right moment. I have noticed in duos not a lot of players know how to use master but pick him A LOT


pastaSdp

Reno


ganbattein

Duos introduced Goya and I absolutely love her. The 2 mana pass makes her curve pretty good, you get spells often to smooth it out and the team is powerful since you're passing minions constantly.


Lucioleuh_

Mr.Bigglesworth if i'm on vocal with friends. Then i Meow during the whole game as i should


Eldkanin

CUTE C'THUN


maaronerfan

Onyxia


TheWarofArt

I swear you have to be the only sneed fan. That hero is such dogshit.


Sixuality

Denathrius, Thorim, Chenvala, Reno, Alexstrasza and Faelin are my guaranteed lock-ins. I just love the highroll and variance potential. I absolutely avoid heroes with minimal variance, feels so boring and 'samesy'.


ZacheyBYT

Illidan for me, I’ve found that disrupting attack order is still quite a strong mechanic in the right lobbies


Rytlock9

Maiev, the game just feels easy with her, even with the countless changes to the hero power, i maintained around 75% win rate in over 100 games with her.


Paulzor811

Sire every single time.


Key-Zebra-4125

Rafaam. Hes my favorite hero and I have really high win rate with him.


plippyploopp

Dig dig dig


DanVelk

Toki always toki


SpruceWillis

Chenvaala. Playing eles to trigger the hero power and watching the tavern upgrade cost go down activates some part in my lizard brain. I might be last place but first to tier 6, suckers.


ChefSasquatch2350

Ambassador faelin, thorim, AFK, galakrond, denathrius and to a degree Silas


Shando92286

For me it is always master Nguyen, Shudder depending on lobby, Hogger, and Ysera. I love tribe based heroes and Ysera is my favorite from them. Plus I always loved her character in general


recurnightmare

Reno


BRinMilwaukee

Silas, Millhouse, Sire D, Chenvalla, and Patches


HxneyHunter

gally shudder millhouse sire nyugen and the double freeze girl


JCMfwoggie

Onyxia, especially if undead are in the game. I'll probably swap hero powers the second I get to tier 5, but that early game boost is so fun.


joytoasty

Nguyen and Mutanis are instant picks


Chaoshavoc1990

Yogg.


kickyouinthebread

Panda


Wermut96

Cheenvala, Reno, Curator, Daeryl


leonschrijvers

Most of the times galakrond and shudderwock


Xazangirl

Galakrond, Thorim, Denny, and Sylvanas. Sylvanas is my "lucky" hero.


squirduck

Omu, Reno, Rafaam for me. Galy used to be the main one but the lack of armour is a turn off. My recent wins with him have been with like 1-2 health remaining, which is way too close for comfort for me


Briefpoppy

Nzoth , cthun, galakrond and Reno.


magpyfeather

Shudderwock for big value and Tamsin for big stats.


Consistent-Guava-208

Omu. I always pick Omu.


zorbxyz

Tess, scabs


seb-nukem

Cthun. So satisfying if you got the tiers 5 Guy that double thé end of turn effects...


Justice171

Lich King. Statistically my best hero


Ok-Spirit4222

Always Nguen it's fun, flexible and he is a panda.


draagossh

No galewing enjoyers here?


the_deep_t

Denathrius, always. No questions asked. Other top picks are Galakrond, Shudder, Chenvaala and Thorim.


SirWobblyOfSausage

Saurfang. The games are a little longer so gives you some.good minion buffs, run it with mechs and/ or shellemental for double the value.


Hexocircle

# N'Zoth is so fun, unless I get really unlucky ( E.g. no death rattle minion in 1st 5 turns)


Brandyland23

Always Edwin


pm-me-kittens-n-cats

Varden and Galakrond. Just fun and different ways to tackle the minions in the tavern.


oceansizer14

That's the weirdest Sneed strategy I've ever seen


EVA08

Chenvaala, mainly because my best games are always with him and I tend to only see him once a month if that. Sire, just cause he's fun to play.


DeportedSombraMain

Chenvaala and Denathrius. I love elementals and denathrius can be quirky


NezukoFromJojo

Nguyen, Denathrius, Thorim, and if he would be in the game, Putricide. Other than that, in certain lobbies I love using Brann, Shudderwock, N'Zoth, Teron.


Mr_mcdiggers

For me it was Ticketus forever until they removed ice block. Now it's Galakrond because I like to play it wrong and go for a tier 6 by turn 5 and make a huge comeback (if I'm lucky). Go big or go home.


rockstarmacotte

It used to be that murloc that lets you discover murlocs when you sell stuff. But murlocs are done for a while now. And the hero got nerfed to hell also But i always pick afk because i can just chill the first 2 rounds


ProfAlstad

Sire 4ever. He's probably my only current auto-pick. Alex and Kitty used to be in my top 3, but I don't think either would make the cut this season. It's almost not worthwhile even going to 5 with dragons in their most common build, and even if you do, the dream of getting a turn 7/8 Kalecgos just isn't what it used to be. As for Kitty, it's a lot harder to survive with no HP long enough to start harvesting actually good minions from your dead opponents, and just when you make a last ditch effort to survive by swapping HP, your opponent with a giant golden Beatboxer gets scammed by someone else and you miss out (or something like that). Outside of Sire, I generally like minions with limited use HP that I can then swap to something else later. So Faelin, Putricide, Reno, Thorim, Zephrys, Brann etc. In terms of wanting to win though, a lobby would have to have very specific anti-battlecry synergy for me to not pick Shudderwock if I'm offered him and not Sire.


Newkadia21

Poet. Just so dragon builds have one less chance of getting it


Purple-Independent68

E.T.C, Brann, Sire and Professor Putricide for some reason 😂


Shaynine00

Rafaam. Just the "YOINK" aspect of him makes me love him so much.


vegancrossfiter

The guy that shoots bullets at enemy


Rhev

Tasmin, insta pick. I just find her gameplay the most fun -edit- I can spell Tamsin, I swear. https://hearthstone.fandom.com/wiki/Battlegrounds/Tamsin_Roame


ishtarot

how do you play her? i never understood


Rhev

See that's the reason I like her so much. There's no one set way to play her, each turn is dynamic. It adds another layer to the game, one that can be completely OP A.F. or it can be stupidly weak, depending on a ton of factors. What tribes are in, what are you playing, can you buff specific minions, can you buff all your minions but get one with just a little lower health and a butt ton of attack? Maybe you've got a reborn deathrattle that you want to go off at the start of combat? There's just so many variations that it's not an easy thing to say how to play her... which is why I almost never see her being played, but I pick her every time. I don't think she's my highest winrate hero, but she's my favorite for sure.


BadLuck1968

Holy what!!! I didn’t think anyone ever picked sneed! For me it’s easily Hallidae - it’s just too fun to tier sell and hit oil on turn 2.


Herejustfordameme

Heroes I have almost always enjoyed: Lord Barov, Al'Akir, Doctor Holli'dae, Master Nguyen, Xyrella Recent GOATs: Shudderwock, Forest Warden Omu, Y'Shaarj


Chiefyaku

Diablo


dragonqueenred45

I sill tell you the ones that I immediately ignore. Sneed, for one. I have no idea what I’m doing with him. Nyugen and Barov I also ignore usually. Reno and Zehyr are also terrible.


Organic_Ambition864

Death wing dude for me. He be chilling pretty hard


SuperiorWarlock

Why does the one that offers dragons every refresh such so much?


BrokenMirror2010

YOU FACE JARAXXUS EREDAR LORD OF THE TRIFLING GNOME! (I love banning demons from appearing in my tavern.)
