Hearthstone - That other, other, other Blizzard game

Is it just me or is the current meta the worst we had so far?
Personally, I have zero motivation to play any constructed at the moment. :confused:

Yeah sometimes I start to think that in some twisted way the undertaker nerf did more bad than good for the meta. All hunters runs the same wolf rider / arcane golem deck and mech mage became the undisputed queen of early game snowballing.

With undertaker you only had to remove two 1 mana minions on turn two but now with mech mage you have to remove his whole board

Edit: And fuck snowchugger for freezing you for TWO TURNS if you use a weapon to remove it

Today, I realised how finicky the mobile version of this game is, and Dark Bombed myself.

Freeze Mage is a bit difficult to build against. It’s really strong.

Mhhhh, not sure if mech mage is the uncontested snowball class, mech shaman can dish out so much damage.
HELLO HELLO to protect the zap-o-matic and you’re in for trouble, especially with Powermace, Flametongue, Rockbiter etc.
I either annihilated opponents or got obliterated myself.

On a happy note, even I manage to win games with the scumbag hunter.
Great. :v

If I can figure out it is freeze mage early I just play rather reserved if my draws afford it, keep the board clear and only have two-three minions on the field so blizzard isn’t a factor. Most copy/paste mages tend to get impatient and blow their hands up to about turn eight.

At that point I just whittle them to lethal range and body them. Then again I don’t play Warrior who would probably be screwed in most cases.

Got Alexstraza and two preps, Lee Van Cleef next I guess. Going to attempt a control Rogue deck.

Warrior laughs at freeze mages. I’ve yet to lose to one. Armor just makes it impossible for the mage to win.

I haven’t had trouble with fridge freezer mage, mech mage sure. They get a good early hand and you don’t it usually snowballs. Freeze is a bit more…honest I guess.

Still tinkering with control rogue. May do a more unorthodox build for it to get more minions. Main issue is minion plays and curve, probably need to drop more spells than I anticipated.

Any help would be appreciated, not an ideal build for sure but could be fun.

Alright, back up to par on my Arenas…man, that first week was brutal. Don’t know what the hell happened there.

Got probably my best Arena award suite in a while. Starfall, 165 Gold (7 Wins) and a Pack with Steamweedle Sniper.

Shaman dominance daily - the struggle is real. :frowning:

Btw, did Blizz mention a point of time when the classic packs might return as arena rewards?

Thanks for the Paladin Arena tips everyone. I hit 7 yesterday. Then went on a horrible 2 Hunter Arena run, but still, worth it.

I actually assume whatever new expansion will be the arena rewards once the expansion is released. Would promote the new cards and their utility well.

There is no good reason to pick Hunter in arena as 8 classes are better than it.

I’ve always been apprehensive of Warrior and Shamans viability over Hunter in Arena. But then I suck at Arena, so…

Which reminds me that I have one more arena run I can do before I head back Asia. Let’s see how well I can do…

Got a fel reaver in arena. Man… That is a tough card for people to deal with.

The same deck has a sea giant and a piloted sky golem. Should be a decent priest run.

My choices were Hunter, Druid and Warrior. I’ve never played the latter two except during dailies but if that’s how it is I’ll try the others next time.

I wish this thread was a taad more active than it is. We may be small but are generally far more intelligent and practical when it comes to discussion and deck theories.

Sure beats wading through dozens of hearthpwn threads dedicated to Mech Mage bitching and rage.

Only so many times I can talk about my Arena runs before people get bored and until I get enough Dust/Cards to finish 4 Tourney ready decks, that’s all I’m going to be doing.

I had fel + faceless + duplicate last week, went fun.

Wow. That is some kind of ridiculous hand you have there! That poor warrior doesn’t know what hit him

yeah i was like do i really want to commit to the fel reaver plan? but i figured i probably couldn’t lose with that many of them and him on no hand unless his deck was full of brawls or he had deathwing.
