Re: [閒聊] Trump競技場選牌參考第二部: 中立精良

[hirdaramani (Hirdaramani)]

Best
These cards are the ones you dream about each time you load your next pick.
Each and every one of these is a snap pick as soon as you see them.

1. Azure Drake 蒼藍龍
Azure Drake is incredible. Even disregarding the bonus to Spell Power, Azure
Drake is disgustingly efficient. The common cantrip minions usually spark some
form debate in terms of whether or not they are true 2-for-1s: the debate is
rooted in the fact that the body of these minions are underwhelming and
arguably not worth the cost on their own. There can be no questions about the
body attached to Azure Drake. Dark Iron Dwarf came in second place for the
common minions and Azure Drake falls into much the same category. Sure, he
costs an extra mana, but the upside is so much better that we can forgive this
minor shortcoming. Then when you bring the more situational upside of bonus
Spell Power, this card just gets bumped over the top.

兩個願望一次滿足 五點略貴不過還蠻爽 用到法術就射惹

In reference to the mana cost, Azure Drake is quite acceptable at five. We
mentioned in the last article that the premium slot for high-impact minions
was
four, but five is still very playable and is a slot far less contested.

四點最棒但是五點也棒棒
---------------
2. Argent Commander 銀白指揮官
Argent Commander, while not being a 2-for-1 in the simple sense that Azure
Drake was, is still one hell of a curve topper. Argent Commander will kill
something in 95% of the games you play him. The efficiency of this card is
amazing. Starting with Charge, we already like Argent Commander because we are
getting instant value for our expensive minion something we discussed last
time
in reference to Stormwind Champion. The Divine Shield ability synergizes well
with Charge by making Argent Commander more than just a four damage burn spell
if he wants to go after a big target. Finally, his healthy four Attack make it
such that he represents a decent clock on his own; therefore, he will often
trade with another minion so he's no longer a threat. Of course he will most
likely trade for a smaller minion once the Divine Shield is down but at that
point, how much more could you ask of him?

聖盾衝鋒4攻場場殺人不醬油 有問題舉手
--------------
Excellent
These are some of the best. There will usually not be much of a decision if
one
of these is an option because they are that good.

3. Stampeding Kodo  奔竄的科多獸
Stampeding Kodo is a stop sign. Killing a small minion as he comes down and
dominating the board as a 3/5 puts an instant end to any and all aggro
shenanigans. It should be mentioned that Stampeding Kodo is not a good fit in
an aggro deck. This fact, however, doesn't drag him down because he is a
perfect fit in Midrange and Control decks. He is so good in these archetypes
that he is well worth picking early and hedging towards them. Most arena decks
tend to end up being more focused on the midrange regardless.

小怪殺手中期控場 為了競技場生態而生
------------
4. Knife Juggler 飛刀手
The joke has been made before that Knife Juggler has Taunt and this is
certainly a case of a joke finding its roots in fact. Knife Juggler passes the
Vanilla Test and has a game-swinging ability. The joke about Taunt is relevant
because while Knife Juggler's ability doesn't have a big or immediate impact,
it gains consistent advantage over time and can quickly put a game out of your
opponent's reach. There is no other two drop that will escalate out of control
as quickly as Knife Juggler.

232 帶嘲諷+持續傷害 打我阿笨蛋
----------
5. Twilight Drake 暮光飛龍
Twilight Drake is similar to Chillwind Yeti. A big four drop with four Attack
and potentially high health. Twilight Drake is often worse than Chillwind Yeti
but there are few cards that aren't; and to be fair, a turn three or four
Twilight Drake can potentially be bigger. Twilight Drake also gets a bad
reputation for being weak to Silences. I would argue that this isn't as big of
a drawback as it initially seems because a silenced Twilight Drake is still a
4/1 that will kill whatever attacks into it after already soaking up a
powerful
effect. The major downside to Twilight Drake, Earth Shock excluded, is that it
is a very bad top deck late in the game. At the end of the day, however, a
timely Twilight Drake will usually be the biggest threat on the board.

雪人之下眾人之上四點怪 四攻可以換全部 好吧 怕大地震擊
---------
6. Sunwalker 日行者
Sunwalker is everything you want in a Taunt minion. She is fat enough to stick
around and has enough Attack to take down whatever attacks. Sure six mana is a
lot, and you don't want many six drops, but Sunwalker is good enough to
compete
for these spots if you can't get an Argent Commander; she may even be better
in
some decks. It could be said that Sunwalker has a downside of not immediately
affecting the game, but I disagree with this for two reasons. First of all, we
want an immediate impact out of our high cost minions because that way they
have some effect even if they are instantly removed. However, soaking up
removal and minion attacks is exactly what we want from Sunwalker with the
high
health/Divine Shield/Taunt combination. Secondly, Sunwalker does impact the
board when she lands simply by being so large on the field

7. Mind Control Tech 精神控制技師
"Mind Control Tech is a Vanilla Test passer at 3/3 for 3 and he would get
played without any ability at all. Regardless of the variance and conditional
nature of his ability, it is still purely upside on an otherwise playable
minion. Looking at Mind Control Tech's ability directly, it is obviously quite
powerful and that’s why he is so high on this list. It could be argued that
Mind Control Tech should not be this high because his ability has a steep
requirement attached to it. This is a flawed argument because you get to
choose
when to play him. If you aren't under any pressure, you can always hold off on
Mind Control Tech and let your opponent build up their board. If you are under
pressure or the correct play is just to make a 3/3, he is able to do that as
well.

3/3/3 順風逆風都可以出

The trap that players often fall into when evaluating swingy cards like Mind
Control Tech is to focus too much on the best or worst case scenario. If you
have saved your Mind Control Tech for a time when his ability can trigger,
then
he will -- on average -- steal something at least respectable: gaining
yourself
an effective 2-for-1 on the spot. Another thing to consider is that most
opponents won't be playing absolutely junk minions. You could argue that the
true worst case scenario occurs when you hold him in your hand all game and
never even get the 3/3 out of him; however, that is probably more of a play
error by trying to be too greedy.

拉到就是二換一 不要太貪心想拉強怪 拉到賺到

Note: Mind Control Tech goes down in value if you are building a Mage deck and
already have access to Flamestrikes.

有烈焰風暴不要選他了
------------
8. Defender of Argus 阿古斯防衛者
Defender of Argus was great and has dropped since the nerf. At a four mana
3/3,
there was less pressure on him to make up for being small for his cost:
buffing
one minion and giving it Taunt made him worth the four mana. Now as a 2/3,
however, he is far less relevant on his own and to be worth four mana you will
really want to be hitting two minions with his Battlecry. That said, he's
obviously great when you do get the double buff, but it is harder to get your
full value than before.

NERF玩不值錢 有吼到兩隻比較划算
-------------
9. Imp Master 小鬼召喚師
Imp Master is a subtle kind of threat. She will come down early and start
pumping out minions: they may only be 1/1s, but they add up. Imp Master is
likely to be ignored because 1/1s don't appear threatening, but they do have
utility in terms of buff targets etc. Another upside is that smaller dispersed
minions are better on defense because they can soak up extra attacks if your
opponent over-evaluates the threat they pose.

垃圾小鬼可以BUFF可以吸收傷害
------------
10. Emperor Cobra  帝王眼鏡蛇
It is hard to get screwed out of at least a 1-for-1 with your Emperor Cobra.
If
you play him early, his ability may not be super relevant. Emperor Cobra,
however, is in a cool slot for a cheap minion in that he is never a dead draw.
The common problem with your two and three drops is that they are miserable
draws in the late game: Emperor Cobra is almost never irrelevant and there is
value in that.

1換1 不過你要抽到對得時間 怎樣都會有功能
-------------
Good
While maybe not as flashy as the previous category, these are all serious
contributors to a strong deck and you will want to be filling out your deck
with as many of them as possible.

11. Wild Pyromancer 狂野火占師
Wild Pyromancer is a two mana 3/2 so we already have a winner. His ability may
seem like a drawback but you are in full control of its activation. If you
choose never to trigger his ability, getting a Bloodfen Raptor is perfectly
fine. There is, of course, the potential to be able to turn his ability into
an
upside for you.

2/3/2 贏了 不想燒就選迅猛龍 燒到賺到
---------------
12. Injured Blademaster 受傷的大劍師
Injured Blademaster may seem tricky, but the fact of the matter is that a
vanilla 4/3 for three is pretty sweet! He has a bit of added value for some
classes, especially Priests, but this is a quality minion that any deck would
be happy to have. Injured Blademaster can also synergize well with another
good
Common creature, Earthen Ring Farseer. A metagame consideration for Injured
Blademaster makes him a little less exciting due to the popularity of 3/2s,
but
that doesn't drag him down too far.

3/4/3 又贏了 牧師or瘋狂煉金 神combo
滿街3攻2r怪吃點虧 不過還是猛
------------
13. Violet Teacher 紫羅蘭教師
Violet Teacher has stats right about where we want them for a four drop. The
ability is pure upside; whether or not it triggers is just gravy. Where Violet
Teacher falls behind is that it is in the dreaded four drop slot. The curse of
four drops is that there are many good ones

四點優質 有無發動都賺 但是四點神怪太多了
------------
14. Abomination 憎惡體
Abomination is a ticking time-bomb. It is near unavoidable that Abomination
will bring things down with it when he dies. The trick to Abomination is that
he has Taunt. His Taunt takes away your opponent's options for attack while
freeing up your minions to set up for the eventual sweep that will occur due
to
the Deathrattle. It is important to note, however, that Abomination can be
fairly awkward in a dedicated Aggro deck where his Deathrattle can be far
worse
for you.

嘲諷+死亡吱聲讓你能夠搶到噗怪得先機 不過也要注意缺點
-------------
Average
These are fine. As the header suggests you should feel alright with them but
never thrilled.


15. Ravenholdt Assassin 拉文霍德刺客
Ravenholdt Assassin is expensive but Stealth and seven Attack means he'll
always kill what you're looking to get out of the way. He may not be the most
exciting late game minion, but Stealth makes up for his cost by ensuring that
you won't get blown out after spending your whole turn on Ravenholdt Assassin.

潛行確保你這七點沒浪費 就這樣
-------------
16. Gadgetzan Auctioneer 加基森拍賣師
Gadgetzan Auctioneer is similar to Azure Drake but asks more of you. The five
mana means that you will rarely activate him on the turn you play it and he
will be a target on your opponent's next turn. That said, if you already
drafted a good number of spells then he goes up significantly as the ability
to
cash in for multiple cards is a considerable upside.

複雜蒼藍龍 除非你當回合接一堆魔法 不然就soso
--------------
17. Sunfury Protector 日怒保衛者
Sunfury Protector is as bit awkward in that he is a cheap minion that you
don't
necessarily want to play early. Taunt on its own is not the most exciting of
abilities, especially in the early game when minions are just trading off
regardless. However, Sunfury Protector gains extra value in the late game
where
a Taunt can be more valuable and that’s an important factor for an early
drop.
All in all, Sunfury Protector may not be the most powerful minion on the list,
but just being a two mana 2/3 isn't that bad in a worst case scenario.

前期盾很爛 中後期兩個盾就猛 2/2/3 也不錯
--------------------
18. Demolisher 石毀車
Demolisher is an annoying minion. Demolisher has a lot of Health for a three
drop, but the ability is the most frustrating of all. As somebody playing
against Demolisher, you more or less have to kill it in case it randomly hits
the one minion you want to keep alive. And as the player with Demolisher, you
can feel bad as it consistently fails to hit what you want. Another point to
consider is that Demolisher will eat hits from two different 3/2s if that's
all
you have and thus forcing a big waste of damage. Demolisher isn't the greatest
minion around, but feel free to go for it if you want to roll the dice.

4滴血 機緣巧合 吃3攻也不死 賺差距 吃人品 不差
-----------
19. Questing Adventurer 解任務的冒險者
Questing Adventurer has a lot of upside. To compensate for that potential,
however, you have to take on some risk with a three mana 2/2. Questing
Adventurer is a skill-tester minion in that playing him on turn three is very
often a mistake. You should think of Questing Adventurer as a Combo minion
because you really need to get at least one activation to get your mana's
worth. That said, playing him and passing the turn may occasionally be
correct,
but it is a risky line.

會變大 把他當連擊卡 不要3r出
-----------
20. Crazed Alchemist 瘋狂的鍊金師
Crazed Alchemist fails the Vanilla Test as a two mana 2/2 and his ability
doesn't do much to help him out. You may be able to think of scenarios or
combos that completely break this card -- killing totems or Lightwells for
example -- but the average case is far closer to the disappointing end of the
spectrum.

222 不優 圖騰/光束泉殺手 此外沒啥特別COMBO
---------
21. Arcane Golem 秘法魔像
"Arcane Golem is another risky play. He may be an efficient removal spell in
terms of mana spent, but you should be sure that your target is really worth
killing because you will be at a disadvantage until turn ten. To be fair,
Arcane Golem gets better as the game proceeds and his drawback becomes less
relevant. He may not be a high pick, but be careful about the timing of
playing
him if you have him in your deck.
Aside: Arcane Golem is great in a blitz-aggro style deck. Those decks are rare
in Arena but if you're positioned well for it he's going to gain value for
sure.

猛將 但是你要考慮缺點 然後他說在   blitz-aggro style deck特猛
不過高端貴求說明
--------------
Poor
Your deck will have some of these, it is unavoidable. These minions are not
very efficient and picking between two of them is more a matter of what your
deck is lacking at the point where you need to make this call.


22. Pint-Sized Summoner 迷你召喚師
Pint-Sized Summoner is interesting in many of the same ways as Mana Wraith:
both can give you momentum, but they are small enough that they can be easily
dealt with. The upside on Pint-Sized Summoner is quite good where we can dream
of ramping into a turn three Chillwind Yeti with no coin. Her worst case
scenario of getting killed early isn't even that bad, but we are looking for
more from our rare picks.

就是個氣勢怪 3R出雪人 但是其實影響不大容易被殺
-----------
23. Master Swordsmith 劍類鍛造大師
Master Swordsmith is a win-more card: if your 1/3 is sticking around for more
than a turn you must be in a good spot regardless. With another minion out he
isn't awful as it is effectively giving 2/3 worth of value. However, Master
Swordsmith gets very sad and lonely when there are no other minions to buff M.

順風怪
--------
24. Mana Wraith 法力怨靈
Mana Wraith is a bit small for what we want out of our two drops. The ability
is interesting in that it is symmetrical. Mana Wraith is best in the early
game
where you can get out to an early lead, but quickly becomes irrelevant in the
late game: either your opponent will have extra mana in the late game, or will
be able to deal with a late 2/2.

前期有優勢可以拉開 後期2/2就是個扎扎
-------
25. Young Priestess  年輕的女牧師
Young Priestess is similar to Pint-Sized Summoner in that, even though they’
re
not awful, they’re probably not worth a rare slot in your deck. We should
note
that it is often a mistake to run out your Young Priestess into an empty
board.
Many of the common minions lost points for being fragile 2/1s and the same
applies here. Young Priestess is more powerful with more minions on the board
where you can guarantee at least one activation.

順風檯面怪多才比較好 SOSO
---------
Terrible
It's impossible to outrun variance forever. Sometimes you will have to pick up
one of these, but you really should never want to.

26. Bloodsail Corsair 血帆海寇
Bloodsail Corsair has a low impact statline and a marginal ability. It may not
be fair to expect too much from a one drop, but at the same time there are
better options out there than Bloodsail Corsair.

就垃圾
---------
27. Ancient Mage  老邁的法師
Ancient Mage needs some help as a four mana 2/5 and he doesn't really get it.
Usually, getting bonus Spell Power is not really good enough to make up for
the
undersized body. And like Defender of Argus, you can't always even guarantee
two buff targets. The curse of the four drops(there are so m any good four
drops!) also comes back to slam the door on this poor Mage.

4/2/5 爛 兩個法傷 OK 不過你要弄到兩隻 四點好怪太多了 你爛
---------
28. Mana Addict  魔法成癮者
Mana Addict would be sweet without the "this turn" text. One Attack is not
enough to make an impact and most Arena decks value minions over spells.
Therefore, your Mana Addict will most likely be dealt with for little cost
before it can trigger and become a threat.

競技場法術不多
----------
29. Coldlight Oracle 冷光神諭者
Coldlight Oracle seems like he should be good the effect is symmetrical, but
you get a 2/2 out of the deal. The problem is that your opponent will get to
use his new cards first and with more mana. A little 2/2 will not be enough to
make up this deficit.

對面比你多兩滴魔用那兩張卡 快逃阿
--------
30. Coldlight Seer  冷光先知
Coldlight Seer will not have enough murlocs to buff in your Arena deck and a
three mana 2/3 fails the Vanilla Test. His body isn't the worst, so he ranks
above some of the other minions to come, but he is certainly not exciting.

競技場沒魚人 掰
----------
31. Secretkeeper 保密者
Secrets, for the classes that even have access to them, are very situational
and often not very high picks. Secretkeeper isn't very good on her own so the
argument becomes "is doing two bad things to make an ok thing a good plan"?
The
answer is no since a card that can do good things without help is way more
consistent.

競技場沒秘密
--------
32. Alarm-o-Bot  警報機器人
Alarm-o-Bot is like the unfortunate step-sibling of Mind Control Tech. It has
a
very high variance ability but lacks the relevant body. Furthermore, with the
current trend of Arena, most decks are running a fairly low curve. In an
average deck, therefore, you probably won't be getting much ahead off his
ability.

競技場大怪少
----------
33. Lightwarden  護光者
Lightwarden obviously goes up in value in a Priest deck. For the other eight
classes, however, she is too low impact and will never trigger.

牧師專用
--------
34. Ancient Watcher 遠古看守者
Ancient Watcher has potential and is beginning to see play in Constructed
decks. He is, however, unreliable when it comes to Arena because you will not
be able to reliably make him relevant with either a Silence ability, a
creature
that gives Taunt, or Shadowflame.

你有沉默/嘲諷/暗影之燄嗎
--------
35. Murloc Tidecaller  魚人招潮者
Murloc Tidecaller is good in a Murloc deck. The problem is, you're not going
to
have a Murloc deck in Arena.

競技場你組魚人牌膩
------
36. Angry Chicken  憤怒雞
It's not going to work.

垃圾

In all seriousness, though, Angry Chicken combined with some buffs such as
Blessing of Kings could provide an average result, but setting up that combo
for just an average result is just plain too much work.

垃圾
