@Hansel Winoto and @Morthasa many thanks

@RoderickBR: To follow up - the expression "Face is the place" was also popularised by a music video (SMOrc song - can be found on Youtube) which made fun of the "Face Hunter" archetype (an ultra-aggressive deck which neglected all trades in favour of always going face and rushing the opponent).

@RoderickBR: Therefore, the most common method to win in Hearthstone is to just hit them directly. Hence, the face is the place

@RoderickBR: Face is your opponent's life, represented by a face portrait of the hero. In hearthstone, the only way to win is to reduce your opponent's health to 0 since hearthstone lacks of secondary winning method (exodia in yugioh, statue of seraph in shadowverse, etc).

Ok... and what does Face means? What does "Is the place" means? Bunch of pretty npcs on the cards?

@Andrew Hall: Hearthstone has always done that, it's only doing it more and more.

People who complain about Hearthstone are weird to me, just play a different game. Everyone has always known that Hearthstone is meant to be understood like candy crush.

@Andrew Hall: But Patches has a "c" in it. So does Small-Time Buccaneer.

For those who are unaware, the new Hearthstone meta bans the letter "c" - the one found in combo, control, creativity, et cetera.

On the plus side, you can practice for it in the off hours by picking up a deck of playing cards, screaming wildly and throwing them at your friends like a monkey.

I taste the salt in this strip, and it tastes good. It is a fine flavor. It tastes like my face after sampling the new round of Gadgetzan aggro netdecks.

I like this one. Be sure to consider adding one more column and row to make it more print friendly. Could make a cool poster.

makes sense noone plays mage to go face

@Morthasa: To be fair Kripp will complain about snipping for almost any play. You know how typical is to save a Flamestrike or the Mind Controlling Gnome one turn in case the opponent plays more minions? If you do that against Kripp and he plays more minions he instantly accuses you of snipping.

@Morthasa: Oh, so that's why most streamers counter by saying meaningless bullshit all the time.
I thought it was because they were stupid and lucky.

That text box over Leeroy's name actually stretches through the discussion box line XD.

you forgot RNJesus: Play against Pavel

Since Kripp plays mostly arena and it is easier to arrange a match in arena (you just need to have the same W/L ratio and queue as close to the at the same tme as the person you want to be matched against as possible), Kripp often laments he is getting sniped (he can tell from opponents' plays)

@Ket Not sure about ghosting, but sniping is when you manage to get a match against a streamer and put on their stream, effectively giving you access to their cards and their thought process (at least what they say out loud).

Love it!
Especially the BM definition: it si so true! Some people get triggered by the most innocent things (even when done in good faith). To be fair, I realise I sometimes am guilty of reading too much into others' emotes as well ;-P

@Ket: It's when the someone's watching the stream of his own game, so it's easier for him to win.

What are ghosting and sniping?

I'll stick to physical card games.

@Mr. Lemon: I was playing against my brother one time, he was def up, I not only drew exactly what I needed to stand a chance, but his Ragnaros hit my minion when I needed him to hit my minion, and hit me when I needed my minion to survive.

We were on voice chat and he just heard me laughing.

Yeah, pretty much this.
Also Kripp has two dogs now. That's the biggest change since the start of Hearthstone.

You forgot the most important of all: scamaz

BabyRage “This guy's deck is CRAZY!” “My deck can't win against a deck like that” "He NEEDED precisely those two cards to win" “He topdecked the only card that could beat me” "He had the perfect cards" “There was nothing I could do” “I played that perfectly" BabyRage

THIS GUYS IS TERRIBLE BabyRage HE PLAYS AROUND MY HAND BabyRage HIS DECK IS THE BEST DECK I'VE EVER SEEN BabyRage HOW CAN YOU EVER LOSE WITH THAT DECK BabyRage

Guess who (hint: not Reynad)
