Hearthstone - That other, other, other Blizzard game

Yeah I felt like trying something that’s not pure control for once and it’s been a while since I played a mage so I’m giving it a spinn.

The hunter matchup is a real pain in the ass though.

I’d totally fly to blizz sometime if I got the cash and time for it :tup:.

You’re in Europe, right? Blizzcon is cheap compared to what I imagine the flight must be lol, but if you do plan to want to come let me know, I will nab you a ticket when I buy them next year.

If you ever play a deck with Alex and moltens, you will play Alex first at least once, then feel extremely stupid afterward.

I don’t think legendaries should ever be dusted, u lose way too much value. 1200 dust down the toilet essentially. I don’t ever dust anything unless I have duplicates (more than 2 copies). I mean a piddling 5 dust for a common which costs 40 dust to create? 20 dust for a 100 cost rare, 100 dust for a 400 cost Epic? Also u never know if future balance changes/cards will change the usefulness of a card u have.

Alright I get it, I’ll never even think about dusting Cairne again.

I’ll just stick to the best plan available.

Grind Dailies and Arena. Wait for money to finish the Naxx wings.

Remember that if you get a bad/low value daily you can re-roll by clicking the little ‘x’ on the top right.

>_> I’m aware, thank you.

If you right click on your hero you get the option to use one out of 6 different emotes.

If you look through your hand intently, occasionally hold out random cards, play a secret, pause and then look through your hand frantically then say “that didn’t quite hit the mark” and then go back to frantically looking over your hand.

They will fall for your bluff 100% of the time.

Somehow made it past the rank 10 wall with the secretrattles mage despite 80% of all my matches being against hunters :tup:.

You need undertakers or wurms in the starting hand though or it’s almost impossible to win if you don’t get the momentum from the start.

Hook me up with that ticket next year Pimp

For sure, I actually had to get my ticket from a friend this year since I wasn’t at my computer for the first sale, but I’ll pick up 4 next year and see who wants to come. It was $200 this year, goes up like $20 a year, so probably $220 next time

Nothing like being a Priest and your endgame field being King Mukla, Houndmaster and Sylvannah Highmane.

Ironically it was my only win in Ranked today as well…

The lack of power in my deck is becoming readily apparent.

Just played a priest in a mirror and he went full northshire turn 1 and attacked my 2/3 undertaker and loot hoarder -> healing circle and put down a unstable ghoul for his turn 2. He had 10 cards in hand.

I milled him out by turn 5

That’s why you don’t go for the draw for the hell of it.

Anyway, another bad arena run so I’m pulling out all the stops. Downloaded Hearthstone Tracker for when I start playing tomorrow. Going to keep track of everything.

Three practice Arena rounds.

Priest is such a weird class. Sometimes you play against it and it feels like the strongest class in game, other times it does nothing.

if it keeps stealing your minions (as much as 6 of them) and if by the time they drop Ysera, you better have a quick way to kill it or it will be GG

playing hunter with a 20+ win streak, what makes hunter so powerful? basically the hero power, once the opponent reaches 10 health, they know its game over, 2 kill command and hero power is 12 face damage.

I also added 2 5/5 tigers with stealth and 2 jungle panther, which normally hit with 6 thx to beast master.

no wonder why everypne hates hunter, its so dumb to build adeck yet it will win a lot
