GvG cards in arena

Awesome! (are all the cards with tribe changes, like harvest golem, full dust?)

Arena run match #1 vs. Priest
Turn 1 Cleric
Turn 2 coin’d Velen’s Chosen… 3/7, np. brb, uninstalling. :expressionless:
That’s like my worst nightmare… dafuq.

Jaina’s new sound ā€œMy magic will prevail?ā€ B-but I want to tear stuff apart.

So many hunters in arena now… He doesn’t need beasts with all the new dumb cards.

Drafted rush warlock, ran into a Paladin who got Lorewalker from his 4/3. Today was a good day.

For those who missed it, theres a free arena available right now. GvG cards are in arena, and the free entry expires monday so you have to use it this weekend, so make sure you do!

That feeling when your Druid of the Fang becomes live because your opponent used Polymorph and didn’t kill the Sheep.

And then…that feeling when you have lethal on the board and the only thing that could screw you is Ysera Awakens…and Ysera gives him Ysera Awakens. So close to breaking my high in Arena…fucking Ysera.

I’ll say this, two cards I underestimated. Snowchugger and Mech-Bear-Cat. Snowchugger is a demon against Rogue and Druid. Shuts down their Hero Ability basically, taking away their ā€œHA 1 Damageā€ is really strong. Lost one Arena game because I couldn’t snipe 1 Health minions because Snowchugger kept hitting face. And Mech-Bear-Cat was my MVP. Underestimated how strong it is in Druid.

Currently 4-1 with this Priest deck.

Lost first game, but it’s been fairly smooth sailing since. As always, dark cultist + flesheating ghoul goes hard. My 2-drop trogg got to 10-3 in one game.

I’m guessing that Arena will still have you draft GvG cards even without the voucher?

Either way, I’m conflicted as to what I want to do with my gold now. On one hand…I would like more GvG packs considering how good most of the cards are…on the other, I still need a ton of crap from the initial set.

Got to 6 with a mage. The new flame thrower spell is a good removal, like an extra frostbolt to draft.

So webspinner gives GvG beasts already. Naturally, I had to go do the hunter class challenge from Naxx.

So I wasn’t hallucinating when it seemed like Naxx got something too.

Yo that hobgoblin value!

And Echo of Medivh is insane in arena so far.

And got a 5 win Arena with Priest (only reason it wasn’t more was because in my 2nd game, my Paladin opponent hit every damn healing card under the sun every time I had lethal and then SUDDENLY TIRION…grr).

What have I learned from GvG now?

Madder Bomber is fucking atrocious. You’ll do more damage to yourself then you’ll ever do to your opponent, only that issue is a lot more significant when it’s 6 damage being tossed around. Even my best RNG roll with it was not in my favor. Plus, 4 Health for 5 Mana is mediocre right now.

Bomb Lobber however…card is definitely great. Really easy to control and wipe something you want off the board. I really wish it did 5 Damage rather than 4 though but it might be too much at that point.

Past that, the GvG cards I drafted weren’t really notable due to not hitting synergy. Naara didn’t get to do much, neither did Shrinkmeister.

I’d say for everyone to grind Arena these next few days. The influx of less quality players means easier Arena runs and thus, free card packs. Got to get that extra Dust for Monday.

I’m off to go see my GF this weekend. Sad times. Would like to grind HS, but it’s not on mobile yet X_X

Woo, one less Paladin on Arena to randomly screw me!

Holy hell Tinker’s Sharpsword Oil is really strong in arena, pretty sure that will translate over to constructed as well.

So Kezan Mystic is actually really good in arena since Paladin and Mage are so good there. I’ve stolen so many secrets already.

Kezan Mystic is the one card I’m most pumped about.

Because fuck secrets.

I’m putting at least one in my secret mage deck. Gimme that secret back.

Did another run. Got my highest win total yet at 7…with Rogue of all things. Never played it much…ever.

That Tinker Sharpener card…honestly, hated it. Always felt win more or too random and hefty to be helpful. Mana cost felt too big.

Bomb Lobber though…again, so good. It’s so strong on Turn 5.
