Spellstones

**Spellstones** are class cards that get upgraded as you play the game. The good ones are the ones that get upgraded naturally as you play the game, thus having no deckbuilding downside. The shit ones are the ones that force you to build your deck differently than you normally would, thus having no playrate whatsoever.

## What they do

It is no lie that the only reason any HStoner might put a card in a deck is because they feel the card might net them an easy win to stroke their fragile ego. As such, the spellstones saw varying levels of play, depending on how hard they broke the game in half.

1. Hunter - By just playing 2 secrets (which you would do, anyway), you get 12/12 worth of stats on turn 5. Don't worry, a nerf is has already hit it
2. Priest - Cast spells in your spergy "miracle" turns, resurrect 4 huge minions for 7 mana. It's good in Big Priest, which automatically makes the card cancer
3. Warlock - Hurt yourself, get a HUGE heal as well as removal for 4 mana
4. Druid - Gain armor, get a ridiculous 1-mana damage removal that should never belong to your class in the first place. This might be the most boring spellstone of them all

Warning: From here all spellstones stop being good and start falling on the janky half of the spectrum. In other words, they are more or less glorified trash. Their tier list is as follows:

1. Shaman - You just have to overload and you get a triple copy of a minion. Good for OTKs that suck a little to justify their existence
2. Mage - Play elementals to get random spells. This would be good for Exodia Mage, which is the opposite of the mage decks that run elementals in the first place
3. Rogue - Play a lot, lot, loooooot of deathrattles. This grants you unreliable removal that never reaches its max level and that is far worse than Vilespine Slayer
4. Warrior - Equip 2 weapons. That's it. You get three 5/5 golems on turn 7, which makes them cake to remove or deal with
5. Paladin - Restore health and you will get shitty taunts. There is no reason to play this instead of any actual taunt minion with no condition, because some games don't let you actually heal anything
Saltlords

**Saltlords** are the inevitable other half of the HS community, the counterweight to the relentless fanboys. Usually found in the Hearthpwn Salt Thread, these brave fellows risk life-threatening downvotes, temporary bans and pure hate from the fanboy circlejerk, all so they can expose how close Hearthstone is to going bankrupt thanks to its many, many flaws.

## Identifying a saltlord

Every saltlord worth his salt (LOLOLOL) has posted in the Salt Thread once, and has probably earned himself multiple links there too. Saltlords probably don't play HS all that much, and would rather complain about it. This might seem stupid, but one should be reminded that the extreme opposite would also prefer sucking Blizzard's dick than playing the damn game. Additionally:

* Saltlords usually get warnings for trolling
* Saltlords express their hateful concerns with crude language to distance themselves from the majority of the HS playerbase
* Saltlords LOVE comparing horrible diseases to balance issues
* Most comments under threshold to unbalanced cards belong to Saltlords. Help them up if you see them!
* Saltlords constantly reference other card games, the greatest of blasphemies to a certain few
Totems

**Totems** are what every Shaman crafts to shove up his own ass when the time is right. Boring, mindless and uncharismatic, they are Hearthstone's least beloved tribe. There was a certain event that turned this tribe into yet another cancerous monster, but later that year another cancer turned the first one obsolete. Both are now, however, rotated, which means no one gives a shit about them anymore.

## Strategy

As a shaman, you will want to shit out at least a totem every turn, before failing to surprise your opponent by dropping a huge buff to all totems you control. This great strategy was brought to us by the king of failures. It did not, however, take off, until another expansion brought broken shaman cards to kick off this amazing archetype.

Later, totems became better known for having individual effects at the end of your turn, but that no longer means anything to the tribe since the rotations and far better options have made these strategies dead as a doornail.

## Countering

Really? You want to counter shitty totems no one plays? Turns out neither Blizzard nor anyone else gives a shit. You might want to include a Mind Control Tech since he always steals a totem anyway. Everything else is skill.
Vicious Fledgling

Adorable art appeals to the youths.

**Vicious Fledgling, or The Slayer of the 3-drop design space** is a meta-defining card that, if not answered the turn it is dropped, will most likely win the game on its own.

## Strategy

You play this on turn 3 (or perhaps turn ~~1~~ 2). If your opponent removes it, then the game goes on normally. If your opponent does not have an answer, you win!

### How to adapt your Fledgling

1. Go face
2. Check if you can Adapt into Lightning Speed, if you can't you've lost. Concede and move on
3. Go face again!
4. Adapt again into something defensive
5. From here onwards what you pick does not matter
6. Adapt twice every turn and snowball into an early, completely deserved victory

### OMG Hunter Jank!

With Tundra Rhino, you can give your Fagling charge the turn you play it, and thus get an immediate adaptation!

This matters very little because if your opponent can't kill your Rhino, then you've already won anyway, and if you are playing an 8-mana combo as a Hunter, chances are you've already lost.

Ragnaros the Firelord

It has charge, but to compensate for it, it doesn't take damage when it attacks!

## Other info

### Nerfed

Hall of Fame'd

**Ragnaros the Firelord** is basically The Lich King 1.0. He was an auto-include, nobody ever got by without playing him, and since he would never rotate out, Blizzard decided to take matters into their own hands to keep Standard sheep buying packs.

## Strategy

Drop him. Literally. It's all you've got to do. Kill as many small minions as you can and just pray he hits something good. Of course, once in a while he will hit face regardless of how many minions there are. Other times, Rag will never hit face unless it is absolutely impossible not to. This is called, among Blizzard employees, "regulating a legendary's winrate", and it is the number one method to prevent nerfs to bullshit cards that deserve it.

An obvious elemental, with Frost Lich Jaina, Rag will also heal you for 8, which is probably just overkill, since DKs alone already win the game by themselves.

Emilia

**Emilia** was Javier's girlfriend and Boaz's ex-fiance.

## Promotional Information

Lama will portray Emilia, Boaz Jimenez’s nervous & frightened former fiancee with a secret that could cause things to turn ugly fast .

## Season 4

Pote goes to Javier's apartment and asks him where he's been. Pote shoves him angrily and Teresa tells Pote to give them a minute. A woman breathing heavily can be heard in the background and she watches from the balcony. Teresa asks who the girl is and he says that Emilia was really sick and he had to take her to the hospital. Emilia is Boaz's ex-fiancé, and she's with him now. Boaz can't know that she's there.

Later, Teresa asks Javier if he's in love with Emilia and he sighs and says it wasn't planned.

Emilia tells Javier that they should go to New York soon. She seems to love the gumbo he has brought her. She asks what Teresa said about them and he reassures her that everything is fine. She asks if it's true that they'll be safer there and he nods a yes.

Emilia helps Javier to transport Renee's body and unwillingly hits a post and breaks the stop light of the SUV thus leaving a trail that Green later finds. Emilia decided to return to Boaz and calls him, but is unable to make it to the airport as she is caught driving the damaged vehicle. Emilia is questioned by Lafayette and Randall on information about the death of Rene. She lies, but when Randall finds the matching earring found at the scene in her purse, they know she isn't being truthful.

Emilia is rescued from the smokehouse by Davis, who hears her reciting the Lord's Prayer in Spanish. Davis attempts to drive Emilia to safety, but he is pulled over by the police. Randall drags Emilia out of the car and shoots her in the woods, later burying her body there.

Toilet

A **toilet** is where most Hearthstone games are played per day, often while a lengthy shit is taken and people have nothing better to do than play this children's card game.

Given the crucial economical value our daily shitting has to Blizzard, it has often been theorized the average Blizz employee is paid to highly recommend chocolate-intensive diets that avoid most drinks.

## Where to find

Most gamers indulge in their sins mainly at home, on their own customizable gaming toilet. Despite popular opinion, people are known to play Hearthstone in other places too. This means players make toilets out of what once was not a toilet. These transformed objects include:

* Buses
* School chairs
* Public toilets
* Planes
* Plane toilets
* Churches
* Bus stops
* Any other place where people find themselves with nothing better to do
RNG-o-meter

Perhaps you've run into a card you truly despise since you wanted Hearthstun to rip it to shreds. There you were, laughing your ass off, until you've come across a strange variable that you could not figure out, that variable being of course the **RNG-o-meter**.

As we know, HS is full of RNG, and ~~sometimes~~ usually, it decides the winner of the game regardless of skill. If you want to ~~prove your worth~~ overcome Hearthstone's difficult mechanics, perhaps you should look into cards with a high number in the RNG scale so you can truly feel the achievement that is winning in this game.
Unwarranted self-importance

**Unwarranted Self-Importance** reflects people whose self-image goes far beyond the depressing reality. In other words, it is an illusion belonging to those who think they are worth shit, when in reality they just make everything around them shit. It can refer to any of the following pages:

* Control
* Combo
* Skill
* Rogue
* Hearthpwn
* Legend
Witchwood

> "*We are the beasts the monsters fear!*"
> ― WW Trailer singers
>
>

So it's the Year of the Raven. Your wallet somehow survived the Year of the Mammoth, and the greatest mistake known to man is about to rotate out and be missed by every inbred dumbass nobody loves. Perhaps you are excited because you will get to try new shit. Perhaps you just want to get the next broken deck because nothing else is going on in your life. Maybe you just like spending your parents' money on pointless shit. Either way, soon you found out such hype and excitement were worthless because what you got was **The Witchwood**. If you are feeling spiritous, you may also call it **WW, Weakwood, Dustwood or Shitwood.**

## Theme

Sticking to the KnC dungeon-delving theme, Blizzard decided to make an expansion about exploring woods and fighting a foul presence (sounds familiar?). Capitalizing on the rotations, they also made it so that every card is exceptionally weak, hoping to put an end to their compulsive powercreep once and for all.

If you enjoy boring cards, lackluster mechanics, underwhelming keywords, and the exact KnC meta with 2 new cards in the top decks, you probably had a blast with this expansion.

They also brought us Monster Hunt. It features new classes and................................

## Notable cards

* Shudderwock - A shitty Shaman legendary that made even shittier Warlock players soil themselves. Warning: the animation might last longer than your allowed time on the toilet.
* Toki, Time-Tinker - A Mage legendary that brings back all the filler Gadgetzan legendaries to the game.
* Baku and Genn - Odd and Even-cost decks to get an upgraded hero power. Only properly used by aggro.

## What about that kickass legendary they made a big deal about?

> "*That's overpowered!*"
> ― Brode
>
>

> "*We did NOT design that card!*"
> ― Dev #1
>
>

> "*Nerf it! NERF IT!*"
> ― Dev #2
>
>

Nobody played or plays Hagatha. Experts speculate about drug usage on Blizzard's behalf, this leading them to instead see Warlock and Paladin cards instead. It is also funny because they probably won't nerf shit.

## Update: Is Witchwood the best HS expansion now?!

Blizzard actually descended from the skies and killed off a few cards! This means Witchwood, after all the old decks got kicked in the balls, finally managed to not be a complete failure.

Fanboys, being amnesiac mouth-breathers, immediately rushed to praise Blizzard for such an amazing expansion, having completely forgotten how disappointing it was to literally have nothing new happen even during the release day. A short list of their "diverse" meta includes decks such as:

* Shudderwock (the only actual deck WW created)
* Odd Paladin (which is aggro Paladin with 1 WW legendary)
* Cubelock (spawned by KnC)
* Evenlock (which is control Warlock with 1 WW legendary)
* Quest Rogue (spawned by Un'Goro)
* Other measly Odd/Even decks that are effectively old decks with one new card

So... if you are not an unreasonable moron, you can probably figure out that Witchwood is still a steamy piece of shit, and Blizzard should try to sweep it under the rug as discreetly as possible.
The Three Princes

> "*Next will be Prince Valanar : 4 mana 4/4 If your deck has no 4-cost cards, do something that isnt worth it.*"
> ― unscram20, in Hearthpwn. How did he guess right?![[source]]
>
>

During KoFT's reveal schedule, there was a massive obstacle in the path of the hype train. That obstacle was both due to the fact that many reveals were fucked up (with the brave exception of shitty filler cards like Ticking Abomination) and because three of the neutral legendaries were bound from the beginning to be boring as shit, unplayable as shit or both. These three legendaries shot the hype train dead, so bad that their reveals did not even bring forth any fanboys to defend Blizzard immediately.

## The trash

Blizzard started off with the best of the three, unaware that a boring good card is still, painful and obviously, boring. Enter Keleseth, the king of underwhelming wins.

### Prince Keleseth:

> "*Truth is found in death!*"
> ― Kalancerth
>
>

Keleseth is the retard of the bunch, whose main power relies on being drawn and played early. If he is nowhere to be seen, you get to play the game without 2-drops and lose.

It also stands as proof that the community should not be so harsh on Blizzard, because a card, as boring as it is, becoming meta clearly wards off all criticism.

### Prince Taldaram:

> "*Tremble before Taldaram, mortals!*"
> ― Taldaram and his unrealistic expectations
>
>

Tardaram is the slightly more interesting piece of shit of the bunch. His power comes from copying something else, like a card from the classic set but worse. It is technically possible to make an OTK deck with him, but there are far better, unshitty choices out there.

With Carnivorous Cube, you can run him in Cubelock! This is completely irrelevant since the win is probably yours already by the time you play the Cube.

### Prince Valanar:

> "*We couldn't even give enough of a shit to find his quote.*"
> ― Hearthstun experts, confronted by the absense of Valanar's quote.
>
>

Valanar gets the prize of least interesting and least powerful of the bunch. In fact, he gets the prize for being the game's only legendary whose legendary status makes it weaker than it would be if it were a common card. Keep in mind that a 4 mana 4/4 with Lifesteal and Taunt would never see play under normal circumstances, and it is not the addition of a shitty requirement that improves its chances.

Valanar never saw, or will see any play.

Smorc

**SMOrc** is a dated, crappy and above all unfunny meme based on the already awfully unfunny Twitch chat, specifically the low-resolution emote with the same name. It is meant to portray the mindset with which aggro players, particularly hunters play HS. The meme and picture originally came from the game Space Marine, which is where the SM comes from.

## How 2 be as funny as teh Twitchfags

Usually smorc is accompanied by a broken mix of first person and third person, as well as wrongly conjugated verbs to reflect the ~~supposed~~ lack of intelligence of the aggrotard in question (and probably the Twitchfag's too). Since most people that want to use this meme don't know English (or any language) that well to begin with, feel free to just type as you normally would.

The occasion? Don't even fucking bother to think about it. Your favorite streamer went face with an empty board? **SMORC!** He revealed a card from the upcoming expansion that deals face damage? **SMORC!** He put a charge minion in his deck? **SMORC!** He pushed for face damage to get closer to lethal? **SMORC!** He used the hunter hero power on turn 2? **SMORCSMORCSMORCSMORCSMOCRLOLOLOLOOLLLLLL!**

Blizzard one day woke up and thought: "You know what?! Let's fucking create a neutral card that everyone has to use!" Then, they fucked up and created a bajillion of them instead. One such abomination is the awful card known as **Saronite Chain Gang.**

When this card was released, most people thought it was okay, but no one could have seen the unholy meme it would spawn coming.

Now, whenever Blizzard fucks up in any way, some "people" will resort to asking "How long can this go on?", which will prompt other faggots to mimic the question, thinking they are funny.

## Strategy?

Just play this card if you can, you fucking moron! It won't win the game, but it will spawn two annoying taunts and stall the game for you. If you are a Shuddertard, you can also use it to go infinite with your lame, overseen combo. If you feel an ounce of creativity, you might want to use this with Handbuff, since the copy also receives any buffs the other one has.
The Lich King

**The Lich King** was Blizzard's secret weapon and fanboy appeaser for 2017. Despite being as boring as they come, and failing WoW's Lich King completely in terms of theme, it was a massive hit and every faggot not only runs this card, but they also flock to defend it from any potential nerfs that it deserves.

## Strategy

Okay, so you play it, see? He will protect your face from the enemy's relentless assault because he has taunt for whatever reason. Then, you pray you get something useful.

The Lich Cunt can give you 8 different cards. Sounds unreliable? It would probably be, if there were equal chances that every card popped up:

* Death Grip - You steal a minion from your opponent's deck. Good to either waste 2 mana or win the game.
* Death Coil - What you will get at least 70% of the time. 5 damage that can instead restore 5 health.
* Obliterate - Removal. Lame removal.
* Death and Decay - A better consecration.
* Anti-Magic Shell - Broken as fuck, but luckily most players are yet to see this card in action. Chances are it doesn't exist.
* Doom Pact - What you will get if you didn't get Death Coil. Good if you are so desperate to clear the board that you are willing to burn most of your cards.
* Army of the Dead - Burn your cards. The minions are summoned. Will always burn at least 3 spells out of 5 cards.
* Frostmourne - A better Ashbringer with an actually cool effect. Shows up once in every 100 games.
Year of the Phoenix

**2020**, also known as the **Year of the Phoenix**,is yet another good year in Blizzard's books, at least as far as Hearthstone goes. It is almost over, but it has certainly beaten most, if not all of the previous years. With attentive care and multiple updates, several people are now turning to the unfortunate conclusion that something, or someone, was keeping this greatness at bay for a long while.

2020 also marks the rebirth of the Hearthstone Renaissance, all thanks to one simple card.

## Chronology

### Yogg's nerf is undone!!!!!

The year 2020 instantly became known as HS's greatest year thanks to these early simple changes. Fanboys and tryhards wept, saltlords rejoiced, and Wild mode, for the first time ever, became fun. Everything that happens later is pretty much irrelevant.

### Ashes of Outland is released

The first expansion this year was, in all honesty, pretty damn forgettable. Classes got decentish spells and cards, there was enough stat-pile filler to make Arena fans ~~less~~ more whiny (Arena fans always whine regardless of whether boring stuff or OP stuff is added to the game). The only memorably thing about AoO was the mistake that came with it.

### Demon Hunter is unleashed

As an expansion themed around Illidan Stormrage, Blizzard let out the big guns by creating a class that is hyper-aggressive, with tons of card draw, damage and disruption. Unsurprisingly, Illidan would go on to rape the meta in such an obscene way that even OTK Demon Hunter decks failed because their damage was too much to let the opponent live to see their own combos.

### Demon Hunter gets its kneecaps broken

Blizzard was not about to let Illidan destroy their momentum. Life was going well, people had forgotten about Blitzchung and that sweet preorder money was coming in again. Clearly, something had to be done, something painful. They settled for castrating Illidan and amputating two limbs. Do note that Demon Hunter was still pretty strong, but its raping days ended quickly enough.

### Tons of love for Battlegrounds

Battlegrounds, throughout the year, gets turned into the de-facto main game. Arena, inversely, is told to fuck off like it should. Since there are no dust refunds for anything, Blizzard is free to nerf everything they want.

### Scholomance Academy launches

Once again, Blizzard pulls off a fun expansion with new mechanics, all while the cancer is quietly toned down. Multi-class cards, a good song and a healthy-ish meta? What happened to Hearthstone?!

### Hearthstone Duels is announced and released in closed beta

To further bury Arena into an unplayable, undesirable mode (a goal that is easy to reach given this is what Arena effectively *is*), Blizzard released yet another game mode that is superior to it in every way. This one will even have a Heroic version, meaning players will effectively pay the same as they would in Arena, but instead they will have fun. Time will tell if Duels is anything worthwhile.

### Madness at the Darkmoon Faire is released

One word: Yogg. Assuming they don't do the unthinkable to it, the Year of the Phoenix will end flawlessly.
Undertaker

### Nerfed

Now only gains +1 attack instead of +1/+1 every time. In other words, it is butchered

> "*Bring out your dead-eh.*"
> ― Blizzard's former turn 1 warning sound for players without answers to concede
>
>

**Undertaker** was a 1-drop *and* win-condition all in one. Hunter exploiters and similar fags rode on its dick for easy Legends back in the day, until Blizzard arrived and delivered justice the only way it could be delivered.

## "Strategy"

Calling this a strategy is a fucking insult, even by today's braindead standards of what a strategy actually is. You played Undertaker on turn 1, and you kept dropping curve-friendly deathrattles until it became so big only a pre-nerf Big Game Hunter could save your opponent.

Furthermore, this did not alter the hunter playstyle a single bit, which meant that even if your opponent cleared this unaborted mistake on time, they'd still need to face off against the rest of your deck.

* Deathrattles
* Curse of Naxxramas
* Face Hunter
* Mana Wyrm
Twinspell

**Twinspell** is what happened when Blizzard realized echo was just completely broken if it was put on decent cards. It is, essentially, a nerfed version of echo that only sees play because its spells are marginally better.

The above statement is enough to trigger a select few, since "OMG echo is not teh same fgt tinspell lets you play the secnd spell in othre turns!". Do feel free to ignore this irrelevant detail and continue comparing it to echo like it deserves.

## The Bullshit Factor

Unlike filler echo cards (read: nearly everything in Witchwood), Blizzard actually put in the effort to make twinspell *not* shit. This means we have actually plenty of playable twinspell cards, while there are only three good echo ones. A list of the more fruity ones is here:

* Desperate Measures
* Blessing of the Ancients
* Conjurer's Calling
* Unleash the Beast
* The Forest's Aid

Looking at the above examples, it remains a mystery as to why this mechanic took off while echo was a failure.
Specialist Format

**Specialist Format, better known as MtGA's sideboard** is an upcoming change to pro tournaments that does not matter one bit to 99% of the community. This means, according to the dumbest of the dumb, Blizzard is listening to the community and giving them the first step towards tournament mode. If you actually have half a brain, you will probably realize this change doesn't do jack shit for you or your game, and there is little to be happy about.

## The Announcement and the hilarious backlash

> "*If you call this "oNe oF tHe BiGgEsT cHaNgEs CoMiNg To hEaRtHsToNe In 2019" then I'm very, very worried.*"
> ― Custom Carderino Kripperino
>
>

With Hearthstone's recent decline, players are more jaded than ever, and far less tolerant of Blizzard's bullshit. Their announcement video, so proudly declaring a change that essentially does nothing where it matters, has been bombarded by dislikes and hate from saltlords and former fanboys alike.

## What does it do?

Essentially, it lets pro players put shitty tech cards in the same deck, but occupying multiple deckslots instead of one. Now you can watch faggots you don't care about playing Odd Paladin even more times, but with 5 different cards every game. Surely this will save Hearthstone, right?
Silence

**Silence** is the counter for every card that does something besides existing. Its main purpose is to let you get past taunts, turn huge minions back into their normal, shitty state or ignore some game-winning ability without wasting precious face damage on a big minion.

## Stuff silence ~~ruins~~ does

* Fucks with deathrattles
* Fucks with buffs
* Fucks with taunts
* Fucks with ongoing effects
* Gets rid of negative effects in your own minions
* Enables Kill Command

## Silencers

* Hunters
* Priests
* Aggrotards
* Midrangetards
* Controltards (if desperate to deal with Cubelock)
* F2Players who can't afford win conditions instead
* Highlander Decks with nothing better to do with that extra card slot
Twitch

Say, my child, do you like Hearthstone, but lack the time, money or even the cancer-tolerance to play it? Well, then **Twitch** is here to help you! Instead of ~~suffering~~ playing something yourself, you can watch someone richer and better than you raging at it.

If you feel like you're hot shit, you can go for it yourselt and try to stream your gameplay while you try to contain your salt to look good online. Little do you know, however, that you will only become famous once you flip out with rage, and said fame will be for all the wrong reasons.

## What to expect

* "Gamer girls" earning money because of thirsty idiots that like staring at their cleavage
* Shitty streams of random faggots raging at League of Legends
* People who are not playing on toilets, and thus failing at gaming
* Actual HS footage, which is still unimpressive as shit
* A subhuman language employed in its chat so the unfunny retards can communicate the simple emotions they are trying to pretend they feel

## The chat

Do you enjoy torturing yourself? Is the burden of vision too much to handle? Might I suggest a brief look at the Twitch chat? 5 seconds into this and your eyes will permanently roll back just so they can avoid soaking in any more of the AIDS or retardation present on the hellspawned emotes that are unfunnily spammed every time the spectating kids aren't stroking their three pubes.

Once you regret your impending, yet relieving blindness, you can just close the chat like a normal person would, and beg the nearest exorcist to purge all of its memories from your mind.
Gato Fierros

Pote Galvez (former partner)

Spanish

**Gato** is Teresa's rapist. Teresa shot him in the face as she was attempting to escape him.

## Biograph

Gato was Pote's partner and part of Epifaño's inner circle. He served as a sicario.

## Season 1

Piloto: Gato and Pote are sent to Chino's house to kill him.

Pote and Gato track Teresa to a warehouse. Gato rapes Teresa, stopping only when she shoots him in the face.

Estrategia de Entrada: He is not present when Pote and Batman search for Brenda and Tony because he is having surgery to reconstruct his face.

Cicatriz: The bag over her head is ripped off to reveal Pote and **Gato**, who has a scar on his face from where she shot him. Both are surprised to see each other.

Gato notices that Teresa keeps staring at him. He tells her that the worst part of getting shot in the face is that he can't chew anything. He hasn't had a steak in weeks. The only meat he's had is the pig cartilage they used to rebuild his cheekbone. She replies simply, *it suits you*. He tells her that she'll pay for this.

When Epifanio is done with Teresa, he tells Gato that Teresa is all his and leaves.

Gato drags Teresa across the warehouse. Her time is up. He begins taking her up some stairs. She uses her position above him to kick her rapist in the groin before dashing up the stairs to lock the door.

She looks for a weapon. The lock doesn't hold for very long, but she hits Gato in the face with a strip of metal, causing him to drop his gun. She grabs it off the floor as he holds his nose. She tells them not to move and tells Pote not to reach for his gun. Gato advances anyway, saying that he's not going to shoot because she doesn't have it in her. Teresa turns her gun from Pote and shoots Gato through the eye, killing him.

## Notes

* He first interacts with Teresa at Epifaño's party after she runs into Pote Galvez.
* Gato & Pote were the ones that killed Chino Parra 1x01.
Recruit

Think of the worst possible mechanic to add to a card game. Think of something that combines card draw and cheating out big minions before their time is due, and then slap a bit of Barnes trauma in just to make sure it is as healthy as they come. What you just reached is **Recruit**.

Officially, recruit was released with Kobolds and Catacombs. Honestly though, it came with Naxxramas and it rightfully served as a dangerous drawback to an overstatted minion. Blizzard, however, in a a stroke of infinite genius, decided to make such a powerful mechanic **controllable and beneficial**, which means we now have retards left and right pulling huge minions out of their asses before it is even turn 7.

Wild

**Wild mode** is a congregation of retardedly broken decks that have dodged the nerf-hammer and now wander freely to rape as they please. While in Standard you'd get used to being raped by the same deck over and over again, in Wild you will always be surprised about how many ways other decks will be able to give you their ebolAIDS.

Wild players always act like elitist twats, somehow believing that this shitty mode is in any way better than Standard, when in reality it just amps up already cancerous Standard decks to an unstoppable level.

## Arguments to play Wild

*"It is unpredictable!"*

Unless you actually win a couple of games. Then all you'll find are better Standard decks.

*"You have to play around more cards."*

Which everyone knows is the last thing any HStoner wants to do.

*"You can play your homebrew decks in peace!"*

You can also do it in Standard, and you'll get raped either way.

## Facts against Wild

* N'Zoth exists
* Reno Jackson exists
* Ship's Cannon exists
* Jades and pirates will never rotate out
* Flamewaker exists
* You have to hold on to most trash that Blizzard prints just in case a Wild synergy shows up ages later

Pecas

Pecas is the boss and the narco from La Comisión who brings in the most product to Arizona.

## Season 3

La Fuerza: Pecas shows doubts that Teresa and her team can fulfill their promises and several times says she should move her business elsewhere. Pecas works directly with Camila to distribute her coke in Arizona.

El Juicio: James approaches Pecas to ask him to help them deal with their Devon problem. Pecas says that he'll have to consult the rest of La Comisión first, and suggests that they try to deal with it on their own. James is unsatisfied and tells him that he'll remember this. Pecas mocks James' threat as James storms out.

Los Enamorados: James pushes a gun into Pecas' face as he's trying to buy donuts on his cheat day. He seems unconcerned, though he answers James' question after James hits him, causing his mouth to bleed and his teeth to turn bloody, and presses the barrel of his gun to his throat. He'd given Teresa over to Boaz Jimenez. James orders Pecas to call Boaz, and James takes the phone from him, arranging to align together against Camila by taking what she wants most, Teresa, from her.

El Diablo: Pecas doesn't show to the meeting Bedoya was supposed to have with La Comisión. Mayo meets with him later, exchanging a bag of money for safe passage out of Arizona. Mayo betrays him and gives his location to Teresa.

Pecas reaches for his gun as Teresa, James, and Pote enter, but Mayo presses his to the back of Pecas's head and tells him that it ain't gonna happen. Mayo takes his gun away as Teresa and her boys approach.

Pecas starts mouthing off as he realizes that he's about to die. He tells Teresa that he underestimated her from the start and that if he didn't want to kill her so badly, he might make an honest woman out of her. She looks on in unimpressed silence. He says that they should call it a draw and suggests that they run La Comisión together like it should have been run all along. Teresa asks about Taza. Pecas says that of course the three of them would be equal partners. Pecas asks her to make a deal with him. Teresa reminds him that they made a deal and that he broke it when he sold her to Camila Vargas. Pecas says that she would have done the same thing. Teresa says that she wouldn't. *No? Then you're an idiot.* Teresa looks to James.

James takes his gun out and slowly screws on the silencer. *What? You think you're going to make me beg for my life? That's not going to happen.*James ignores him and slowly points his gun at Pecas, who crosses himself. Pecas splays his arms out wide. *I don't kneel to bitches. Adios, puta. I'll see you in Hell.*Anything more that he might have said is cut off by the two bullets that James puts in his chest.

## Writers' Comments on Twitter

* Ryan O'Nan tweeted, "For my first tv role ever as an actor, Me and Armando Riesco (Pecas) played buddies of Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier) on an NBC series called Kings. The director of that episode was Francis Lawrence who directed three Hunger Games films, I am Legend, etc. #queenofthesouth"
Lopez

Lopez is a client of the Vargas cartel in Texas.

## Personality

Lopez is a tough, proud man. He doesn't like changes in the plans or anything new.

## Estrategia de Entrada

Lopez me

   t James behind a nursery. He was wary of having Teresa there and asked about Aveline. James said that Aveline was dead and that he would vouch for Teresa. Lopez didn't like it, but allowed Teresa to come along.

When Teresa suggested that the money they were being paid for their shipment was fake, Lopez held a gun to her head and told James that if she was wrong about that, he was going to demand reparations.

Lopez had employed Lucian for nine months before Lucian betrayed him and attempted to place counterfeit money in with the cocaine payment, hiding the real money in the underbelly of his car. He killed Lucian for affecting his business in this way, though Teresa told him to just let Lucian go.

## Notes

* Lopez had typically dealt with Aveline when receiving his shipments. He thinks that it's a shame that she died.
Reno Jackson

**Reno Jackson** was Hearthstone's first multiclass card, disguised as a neutral legendary. Introduced in League of Explorers, Reno put an end to the reign of Face Hunter, increasing aggro suicide rate by 50% during his time.

Soon, however, Blizzard decided to breed yet another monster, perhaps worse than the aggro inbreds they had slain before. And thus, with MSoG, Reno too became the cancer he once purged.

## Strategy

Against aggro, you will want to drop this on turn 6 (by then, your health should be around 5/6 since aggro is incredibly balanced). You will win shortly afterwards and the enemy will have only one thing left to do.

Against control, Reno is useless. You two will go to fatigue, all while he rots in your hands, before each of you drops their own Reno just so you can be further raped by the inevitability that is drawing cards late game.

You could also play it in non-Kabal classes, if you enjoy losing.

## Cancerous things to do with Reno

Unsurprisingly, as a LoE card, Reno became far worse as time went on, and is now one of the most awful things to see in any game. With him in your deck, you can:

* Play Quest Priest and get to 40 health twice
* Play the 6000th Control Warlock deck out there and just rape everything in your path
* Rope a helpless aggro player on turn 6 before dropping him and insta-winning.
* Bounce him back to your hand just so your enemy loses all hope of ending the game this year
* Play Mage, now without the class's drawback that is having no healing
* Rope against another roper, both playing control decks, thus taking two hours to finish the game
* Play Quest Warrior and just suppress anyone that does not intend to win with infinite bullshit

### PLOT

* The team prepares for a reception to mark the ready plan for the construction of the water front property. Many city officials and business men are invited. KA has invited Dumas who has been released from jail, but there are doubts he will show up.

* Boaz and his men drag George’s dead body and vow that Teresa is the next.

* Dumas and Cedric discuss Dumas’s unwillingness to have anything to do with Teresa Mendoza and her business. Cedric shares concerns that without Teresa’s coke, everyone will be hit hard.

* Teresa meets with the envoy of her Colombian supplier Castel and requests double the product as she has made a new deal to supply Europe.

* Teresa meets with Osvaldo Ruiz, who is Boaz’s right hand in Sinaloa. Osvaldo talks to Boaz on the phone, who is on his way to NOLA ready to attack.

* Teresa and James share a drink and reminisce about the long ride they have had together that has brought them to the first step of legitimacy.     The exchanged looks speak of deep undercurrents but both behave in a reserved manner.

* The day after the reception Teresa is informed that the Colombians will not double her coke shipments as they believe she has grown too big and they already do enough biz in Europe. Dumas also has returned the shipment he was sent. Teresa cannot get hold of George in Miami to have him send a shipment to Europe to avoid problems with Navarro.

* Pote and KA have an ultrasound appointment at the hospital.

* James and Teresa visit Dumas in an attempt to bury the hatchet, however it becomes clear that he wants to sever his relations with them. On the way back they are attacked by Boaz’s men and after a heated shootout escape back to the safe house. Teresa learns that her Phoenix operations has been hit as well and it becomes clear this is Boaz. Despite Teresa’s protest James leaves for the hospital to warn Pote and KA as they are not reachable.

* Dumas has a bloody exchange with a man from his crew and ends up killing him. Dumas is so disappointed with the price one pays for being in the biz, that he gives his biz to Cedric.

* Pote and KA have switched off their phones at the hospital. At the ultrasound it becomes clear that Pote’s old fashioned ideas about birth and children will clash with KA’s modern views. After they are finished Pote goes out for a smoke and reads a text from Teresa that Boaz has attacked them.

* Upon returning to the hospital, he finds the nurses shot and KA kidnapped. James joins him and breaks the news to Teresa.
