HearthCoach: Hearthstone Coaching

After not getting into the Hearthstone tournament (my fault) I tried to make the best use of my time by talking with a few of the independent game developers. I also collected some business cards, and hope to bring some in depth interviews with other developers.

Episode 200 The End of Boomsday. This week we try an off the beaten path deck in Spiteful Priest. Since we are at the end of the Boomsday meta, we thought we play something fun and different, but still competitive.

Episode 199 Post Dreamhack Review. Today we review our Dreamhack Atlanta experience and play some odd hunter.

Episode 198 Pre Dreamhack with Languagehacker! This week, HCT’s Fall Champion Languagehacker returns to the show to share his experience and discuss tournament strategies. Oh yeah, and we will also play some Hearthstone.

Episode 197 Tempo Rogue. This week we go off the beaten path of tier 1 decks and take a detour to FRID’s favorite class with a deck that can still get some wins in the current meta.

Episode 196 Murloc Mage. This week we try a deck that has risen in popularity after the nerfs. Murloc Mage is an aggressive deck that can keep control decks in check.

Episode 195 Egg Paladin, We needed a change of pace in this very mature Boomsday meta so I found a legend egg paladin deck someone tweeted out and we are going to give it a shot.

Episode 194 Even Shaman. This week we revisit a deck that has been lost in the meta but it is still as effective as ever. Even Shaman is an effective deck with significant staying power because of cards like Hagatha the witch.

Episode 193 Boomsday Token Druid. This week, we return to a deck that has been in the meta for a while, now updated with a few Boomsday cards. Token Druid has the ability to overwhelm the opponent with wide boards that stick around and always threat burst damage with Savage Roar.

Episode 192 with LanguageHacker! This week we play a version of deathrattle hunter that was Zalae put together and will be piloted by our guest languagehacker. He qualified for the HCT Fall Championships and will be playing for a spot in the World Championships.

Episode 191 Aggro Mage. This week we try an aggressive mage featuring a few new cards from Boomsday including Stargazer Luna, Cosmic Anomaly, and Shooting Star. Monsanto took this deck to #1 Legend and APXVoid is an avid player of a similar version of the deck.

Episode 190 Secret Hunter. It’s time for some SMOrc! Rexxar is back doing what he does best and smashing faces. This deck does have the alternative win condition of Deathstalker Rexxar, which allows it to go far against control decks.

Episode 189 with UglyBrute. This week we welcome a fellow retired podcaster UglyBrute. He used to be a co-host of A Worthy Opponent and brings a deathrattle Rogue for us to try.

Episode 188 with Daring Alkaline Fellow podcaster Daring Alkaline joins us from the Daring Reporter Podcast. He coaches us through one of the most popular decks on the ladder, Odd Control Warrior.

Episode 187 Zoo Warlock This week we return to a deck that always finds it's way through the meta. Zoo Warlock is an undying archetype that has a special place in FRID's heart.
