New player - bazaar - Hello!

Hello im a new player in SE (about 7 days old) and have a question along with saying hello to the SE community. I made a deck with boris to start and had some success just using strategy of getting lots of cards to pass through my hands. Then i started changing the deck and really started getting beat, lol. I researched this forum and got some really good info (thanks) and used a version of a deck posted and have been doing better but i still have trouble using Bazaar (dont like giving the other guy cards:p) Its not that i think its a bad card just dont know how to use.

So using my first post on this forum to say hello and get info (either through links or just direct tutelage) to decrease my fear of using this card.

thanks

Bazaar is almost always not worth using (I won't say a bad card since it does have some uses in wolf and a few others).
your giving your opponent an advantage since your both drawing cards but you have to pay the 2 to play it. not to mention your opponent gets the first extra card drawn.

hey welcome and good luck
some people like and some people hate Bazaar. i look at it like a two edge blade. it can be a great help but it can be to your oppont as. If your using boris, in theroy blood frenzy should be all you need to keep the draw going.

there is a trick that some Ter adun players do is to play it till they get a full hand then destory the bazaar.

good luck

Oddly enough, the only time I do play bazaar is vs slower mill decks like darkclaw and I want to speed up the game, because I know they are ill-equipped to take advantage of the extra cards. :P

Playing Boris (or any Warrior), Bazaar is generally inferior to Blood Frenzy. However, against certain decks, allowing your opponent extra card draws is less detrimental than the one damage a turn from BF. This is particularly true with stall and control decks with good healing; although these decks do benefit from drawing their control and stall cards, these cards are generally more expensive, and as such can only play one card per turn, not taking full advantage of the Bazaar.

Thanks guys for the info - i look forward to hearing other opinions on the topic too - i replaced the 3 bazaar cards with another aldon, war banner and rampage - seems to be working out so far we will see!

You are playing a warrior, there is almost no reason for you to use Bazaar since you can use Blood Frenzy which imo is by far superior to Bazaar. Why don't you post your deck so we can give you more advice?

Not really. My deck was built to counter darkclaw. With or without bazaar, the outcome would still be the same (at least a draw). So bazaar just lets the game progress twice as quickly. :)

In a warrior deck, it's generally good to have 4 blood frenzy and 2-3 bad santa

i personally like bad santa more it's easier to time it ex. using it when your opponent is already sitting on full/6 cards then he doesn't benefit anything unlike bazaar do

Bazaar could be worth playing in any deck example you have many high cost allies then maybe it is worth playing because you need to trade for resoures
