and Hosty gets caught apparently cheating in a tournament and gets kicked off Team Archon.
Who is "Hosty"?
I don't know, but context clues would say that it was a big name/professional player of Hearthstone.

Indeed, he was a member of Team Archon (a hearthstone team headed by Jason "Amaz" Chan), though he was released from the team after the incident.

What happened was some people noticed that on the webcam for Hosty, you could see a hearthstone stream reflected in a picture behind him, and the stream appears to be the one for the tournament that he was participating in. Additionally, he was seen logged in in that stream's chat. While the stream was on a 10 minute delay, its possible if he was playing a slow opponent (such as Lifecoach, a player he did face) that he would see a card or two that were still in their hand from 10 minutes ago, that had not been played yet.

What is his punishment for cheating?

So I finally hit Legendary tonight. Talk about waiting until the last second, huh? I've been hovering in the Rank 5-1 area for the last couple weeks, occasionally making a push forward. I knew today was the last day and I was going to need to commit, so I've probably put about 6-7 hours into it today (thank God for weekends). At one point, I was at 1.5 and my internet cut out, but I won the next two games, so it wasn't too emotionally devastating.

About a week ago, I managed to get to Rank 1 4 Stars and dropped drastically, so I put the game down for a couple days. This is the Hunter deck I used to climb to that point. It's effectively identical to what Westy used to get Legendary earlier in the season, but after not making the push to get there at the end, I got discouraged and decided to switch. I don't remember if I did that before or after the Undertaker announcement, but it was in the same 16 hour period. I switched to a Mech Mage I netdecked online, making a couple changes as I went along. This still wouldn't be a final product to me (I really want to work in a Piloted Sky Golem), but I didn't want to make changes that were overly drastic when I'd gotten used to an aggro-based approach to Mech Mage.

In the upcoming season I'm going to continue to hone this Mech Mage, and start playing with other stuff (Druid, Priest, and Paladin especially) as my dust allows.

Also, huge shout out to RDT and especially Westy for helping me get here. Lots of spectating and advice went into it, and I don't think I'd have gotten it without either of them.

So I ran into a familiar face on the ladder today:

Same here, but at least we can see who won.

I've been having a ton of fun with this deck:

*edit*

I just pulled off Knife Juggler + haunted creeper deathrattle + dark whispers, followed by Dr Boom and Power of the Wild next turn. I am still laughing.

Drrek · « **Reply #659 on:** February 05, 2015, 11:01:21 AM »

Why aren't there savage roars in that deck, its full of sticky minions and token generators.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #660 on:** February 05, 2015, 11:09:15 AM »

Power of the wild usually does the trick by itself.

Power of the wild is good, and I'm not saying cut it, but savage roar is a straight up win condition. You are playing a token druid, and are needlessly robbing yourself of a powerful win condition.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #662 on:** February 05, 2015, 11:54:51 AM »

What would you cut to add savage roar?

Poison Seeds is my first choice, after that I'd go imp masters, mekgineer thermaplugg after that, and I know you probably don't want to hear it but I'd probably cut unleash the wisps too.
,
I'd probably suggest cutting thermaplugg for something like sneeds anyway if you can. Also I think that deck could really use wraths, and maybe a second wild growth.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #664 on:** February 05, 2015, 02:14:26 PM »

poison seeds and imp masters have won me games. thermaplugg hasn't done much so far (he shows up too late).

I'm thinking I may cut the one wild growth and thermaplugg for two savage roars.

Chris · « **Reply #665 on:** February 05, 2015, 02:20:50 PM »

What rank has this brought you too?

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #666 on:** February 05, 2015, 02:34:05 PM »

Just built it today, so I'm still at rank 20 from the season reset, I'll try it out in the ladder tomorrow with the savage roar swap.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #667 on:** February 05, 2015, 02:37:07 PM »

I agree with Drrek for the most part FWIW.

The cost similar is akin to MTG, as is the objective, but there are a number of things that make them different, such as not being able to play cards on your opponent's turn, only having 2 types of cards, etc.

That makes sense, it would be sooo bad if you wanted to play a card and then your computer crashed!

For real. I know they work in the physical card game, but it so kills the fun waiting on that stupid timer after every move in the video game version of magic.
