This isn’t new. Zoo and Hunter cheap and fast. Why bother with anything else at lower ranks?
No reason to play anything other than Hunter and Warlock at any rank if you want to climb.
That’s why I use my anti zoo / Huntards warrior deck. I don’t give a fuck if I lose to anything else, I’ll still rank up with all the number of Huntards I’m facing
So warriors just got a better Guardian of Kings?
- Wow do paladins always suck? So they are amongst the worst classes again? Have they ever been among the better classes?
- Shieldmaiden looks awesome, though kind of fugly looking…I was hoping for Legartha from Vikings.
- I have 2 tigers in my hunter deck too…why do so few people use them? 5/5 with stealth? I love them, I always get the 5 damage…u can houndmaster them to get 7/7 stealthed…attack and then become a taunt.
So true, if u are starting out and want to have a somewhat competent deck what else can u play if u want to seriously climb? The speed of playing zoo and hunter also means u get more games in. I assume trying to get legend takes a ton of games.
How did the pirate goblin not win the vote wtf?
Shieldmaiden is kinda boring but solid with combos like shield bash
Also tigers arent used that much because Highmane is just so much better, and theres only so much room for big drops in a deck like hunter
At some point I need to learn how to actually play hunter.
Paladin needs a lot of love in this patch.
Step 1: Play a Beast
Step 2: Hit the Face
…There is no Step 3.
Obviously you could play it correctly but meh, you’re Hunter, people will hate you anyway so just hit the face.
Yeah, it always seems simple when I play against them, but when I tried to play it I never knew when to do what. I think I’m something like lifetime 5-11 as Hunter.
Yeah, without Sylvanas or even Cabal to a point, Priest just isn’t worth running. My deck is way too weak to do anything meaningful.
Guess I’ll have to stick with Zoo or Hunter variants to grind as it was stated.
The cool thing about shield maidens is that it helps lower down the cost of making control warriors by a shit load.
The 6 mana drop for control warrior is already stuffed but for those without those legendaries, the shield maiden is a very cheap alternative.
But control warrior is about… the control, not the armor. 5 armor doesn’t get you extra control on the board. At the stage of 6 mana you should be dropping dem legenadries already.
This is assuming that Warrior doesn’t get any more cards that are relative to the amount of Shield they have.
I can see people playing one to guarantee Shield Slam value.
Shield slam, plus new synergies coming out of the game yet to be seen.
Saitsu have you posted your priest deck? I’m interested in seeing it. I’d think its more your lack of naxx vs sylvanas/cabal hurting you
Vs aggro, legendaries like cairne and even sylvanas may be a bit too slow. Reason why Hogger got a spot recently over cairne because it negates some damage and forces them immediately deal with it. Potentially using a hunters kill command being used on hogger instead of face.
and vs aggro, it’s all about managing to find a way to stabilize and THEN take control of the board. The 5/5 + 5 armor will absolutely help you stabilize and take control of the board at the same time and the possibility of being able to shield slam a bigger target more reliably aggro will absolutely try to keep your armor low as much as possible
Vs control shield maidens are of course much weaker aside from shield slam combos.
So in short it’s a more immediate and defensive anti aggro 6 drop than cairne and sylvanas. Of course we have to see what other drops may come around.
Yeah I posted it on the last page but I guess I can repost everything from 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.
My current deck that needs a ton of work. EDIT: Trying out an Earthren and Shadow Word Pain. Took out Sen’jin and 1 Harvest.
Three practice Arena rounds.
That’s actually solid, you have nearly all the core cards you could want, minus legendaries and naxx cards. Im hard pressed to really come up with any suggested changes, outside of cabal. I’d say you’re missing a win condition though
