Hashinshin moved onwards to League of Legends, where he is relatively well known in the high tiers of play. I haven't really heard much from him though =(.
Octopi: Be in Training Grounds, choose the FS starter deck, choose the old Forglar Swamp map with big lake, proceed to win over everyone. I started the game in that manner.
When I first started frost cone was > everything. Jakei snowcharger and ice dragon were the best runes in the game.
