Hearthstone - That other, other, other Blizzard game

How do you get Murk?

I have all the Murlocs, still no Murk :frowning:

Yo

I want the lorrrrrrd

Juum can you see if you can cast demonfire on lord jaraxxus?

Are you sure youā€™re not missing one?

As a free player without any cards, you definitely have some tough choices to make. Some cards are just straight upgrades, others are sidegrades. Donā€™t underestimate a Chillwind Yeti, or a Boulderfist Ogre, or a Venture Co Mercernary.

I always like the idea of a Windfury Harpy, but Iā€™ve never seen one work out personally. Any windfury card with buffs can deal good damage, but if youā€™re going for that kind of play Iā€™d work on a shammy deck.

Added you.

If anybody wants to practice against a control, mid level pally or a freeze mage (though freeze mage post patch is probably weak?) message me in game

After seeing it, I need some of that 3 drop enrage guy. Being able to activate enrage with the Mage ability turns those guys into really good beaters.

Raging Worgen, 3/3 enrage: +1 attack and windfury.

Heā€™s solid, people want to deal with him. You canā€™t have anything weak on the board, or he attacks into it, Enrages, and hits your face. Works really good with mage too when he pings it, or with warrior who can use Inner Rage

Is it worth it to play ranked games now?

I actually find Constructed more fun than Arena nowā€¦ but maybe its because I got a decent card pool going.

I mean ranked vs unranked, is there a difference?

So I just started this game and wtf is up with the balancing? So idk if you can change your characters generic spell or whatever but why the hell does a mage get to do a point of damage for two mana while for two mana a druid can not just do a point of damage for two mana but also accumulate 2 points of armor that stack with themselves everyturn. I just donā€™t see the point?

am i supposed to get some sort of notification when you add me? I donā€™t see you on my friends list

I just started too and I guess I found that thereā€™s plenty of applications to fireballs and a notable downside to druidā€™s spell;

ā€¢Mage doesnā€™t have to worry about taunt for fireball and can pick any target he wants for 1 damage. *Hunter has a spell that directly hits the opposing hero for 2 but only the opposing hero.

ā€¢Druid may gain 1 attack and 1 armor but the hero himself is still attacking; thus heā€™s liable to taunts and if heā€™s up against a minion with like 8 attack/1 hp, heā€™s going to eat a shit load of damage back if he decides to kill it off. Meanwhile Mage can just fireball away with no risk.

Thereā€™s probably more applications but thatā€™s just a general overview at a glance

I feel this is worth a double post.

ā€¦FUCK! MY WIFE GOT GRUUL ON HER FIRST PACK.

Ya mage ability is the best in the game it has insane utility being able to hit anything no matter what is amazing and part of the reason they needed to be nerfed. Also mage is miserable to play against.

I should show up as a Pending friend request, but I know hearthstone seems really buggy with friends list (like, it only works if weā€™re both online or something?)

Mage ability is quite good, probably the best. So much utility. Of course Shadowform priest is the second bestā€¦ Jaraxxus is the best. Warriors is the worst. Everyone else falls somewhere in the middle.

Itā€™s funny to see somebody complain about druid being too powerful and mage is too weak, when its like the opposite case. But thats the beauty of a game like this, new players think one thing then realize its not as simple as they think.

He counts as a Hero and Demon so sacrificial pact works but not Demonfire since it only works on Minions.

Its fun to climb the ranking ladders, and youā€™re matched near decks with similar strengths. The downside is trying out new decks, if youā€™re rank 10 and want to try something new, itā€™s tough. But its fun because the meta might be different at each level. At rank 25, you can get away with fun ideas, at rank 20 youā€™re seeing a bit more serious decks, at rank 15 youā€™re fighting legendaries every fight.

Getting to rank 1, and then filling up the stars, gets you into Legendary status (which is never revoked) which gives your actual player ranking (1, 12, 100, etc) out of all players.

Season 1 is like a test season, ends jan 2nd. Season 2 will have rewards, like different card backings exclusive to people who played that season, and also unlockable golden hero portraits (something like 500 wins in ranked to earn the portrait).

Itā€™s just nice to have a ranking system, that isnā€™t all ā€œKeep playing to reach 3 star master eventuallyā€

I almost dropped a rank last night, I think my pally deck is too much in style, and people have counters for it already. I may need to DE my blizzards I made for mage at full dust and craft some more pally epics (like avenging wrath)
