Went 1/3 in the Arena, wasn’t bad but I had the choice of three decks I don’t really play or know what I was doing with. Got a pack full of shit, got another pack also full of shit.
Ended up scrapping Arcane Golem because it is terrible, and got 2x Leper Gnomes from the dust I had. Now I want 2x of those Loot Gnomes I think and 1x knife Juggler since they all seem like good catch all cards for decks.
I don’t see it used much but I really enjoy the Demolisher, the ability is nice when it goes off sure but that part can be rather unreliable. However, it always seems to panic the other player, having them resorting to expending resources to kill the Demolisher. Which as a four health 3 cost with a nice ability, means it needs dedicated deathins. I enjoy using it in my Priest deck and Warlock decks since I have methods to either protect it well, buff it, or regen health fairly well.
Other than that been liking the Argent Squire and Blood Knight combos. Especially fun to run BK against Paladins.
Anyone ever run 2x Silver Hand Knights in their decks? I just pulled another but I don’t really see a reason to ever use two of them honestly. Also pulled the 4 cost Minion that grants characters next to him Taunt and +1/+1, want to give him a whirl soon.
Arcane Golem is actually used as a finisher in very aggressive decks, it’s not terrible, you just don’t play it on curve.
I don’t like Silver Hand in constructed.
Depends on your current gold and how fast you normally generate gold. Say you average 60 gold a day for 3wins+quest, it’ll take you almost a month to get that gold back.
I’d rather throw the money into arena as it can generate a better payout than straight buying packs, and playing arena makes you better at arena which can further increase these rewards.
I still play a pair of Demolishers in my Zoo deck, more often than not they pay out, whether it be eating removal or hitting things. They suck at regaining board control though.
thing i love about mage arena is you don’t need crazy decks for 12 wins. Couple of fireballs, a flamestrike, and decent minions and you’re good to go. I’ve been picking shaman over it more lately, but i’ve been getting awkward shaman decks with no axes, and non existent curves.
This deck didn’t scream OP though, and most of my games were fairly close because most of my starts were fairly slow. I had it pegged to go deep, but it’s not that out of place for a mage deck to be around this power level.
Solid decks can carry you far in arena. Don’t need a insane deck or anything to get you to 12 wins like you said.
Overall that deck is pretty solid with a answer to almost everything barring maybe like early removals so thats one weakness. Plenty of solid cards to put your foot down when you want tempo and a pretty solid amount of options keep that tempo or put it in your favor.
On top of good card draw.
Looks even more solid the more I look at it lol.
So pretty much once you got your foot down in the early/mid game, the game would probably snowball in your favor. Especially a turn 4 water elemental. They’re so fucking annoying to deal with lol and sometimes they flat out fuck over weapon based classes or druids.
Cult master + imp master/silver hand knight is fucking devastating at times. God damn you have so much card draw potential from different outlets.
@owattjacob it was definitely really good and didn’t have any dud cards, but I won 4 games at less than 5 life, including one at 2 and one at 1.
Why I like mage so much. When I get to double digits with Pally or Druid i generally need some help with having multiple epics or have like a gaggle of swipes+druid or truesilvers+protectors.
Did you guys see that extended ‘leak’ post on reddit. It mentioned a 2/8 with taunt for 3, deathrattle your opponent draws a random minion from his deck. 2/1 for 3, deathrattle spawn 2 1/1 tokens and a few more.
Heres the official images that explains the prices JuuM was mentioning
First wing is free for the first month or so, so $20 will basically get you the whole thing, which I’ll be doing
also this sounds like a cool challenge:
Reminds me of the TCG, where raid boss decks took very different approaches than vs decks. I imagine the decklists for these heroic raids will be VEEEERY different from player decks.
