Re: Hearthstone

Meanwhile I managed to get a literal last second beta request in and got in \:3/

I've had a friend help me out while I'm still basically setting up stuff.

At the moment I'm climbing ranked slowly but surely (at 22 now) with a very budget rogue deck (only basic cards used). I'm expecting to get shut down after I get out of wood league ;w;

On the side I'm still leveling up other classes to 10.

Re: Hearthstone

I take it back; the mini hunter buff does matter but mostly as an annoyance. I'm not convinced it's a highly competitive deck because most variants are easily countered by any of the popular decks with heals (i.e. they will lose to druids that swap in two heals, to paladins, giant warlocks and probably priests too).

But god damn it's a really annoying deck and coin flips against a bunch of popular decks out there right now. It's also very anti aggro. Getting really sick of running into this deck on the ladder right now because it coin flips against my warlock deck. I was winstreaking undefeated shortly after the patch from 15->11 and things were going great until I started running into hunters like, every single game, many of which have a horseshoe up their ass.

Match vs lock basically comes down to: Do they draw an explosive trap to play on turn 4? (t3 eaglehorn also works but not as well) If yes, do they have UtH or Leeroy in their hand? If yes, Hunter wins. If no to Q1 or Q2, hunter loses.

such a boring match, particularly because the hunter can play like a braindead moron and it doesn't matter. If he has turn 4 explosive trap I can't do shit unless I have golems out or something since after the Blood imp tragic overnerf shit doesn't survive the trap unless I wait a turn or two. So I pray to RNGesus that I get a DoA or he slings a bunch of shit into my face and I lose QQ.

Murloc warlock was a fucking treat (so easy to counter) compared to this since there really aren't any counters to it other than heals or giant taunts.

Probably gonna get nerfed tbh, blizzard will probably bump UtH up to 3 mana which will slow this deck down a lot and make it less of a flip thankfully.

Re: Hearthstone

Finally started playing this again after not touching it for months. It has changed quite a bit. Took a while to rebuild my deck haha. Up to rank 19 at the moment with not too much effort so that's cool I guess :P

EDIT: Also, who are jiuern#1408 and Kwerooias#1381? I can't accept the invites for some reason and I have no idea who they are anyways lol.

Re: Hearthstone

Yeah I'm getting a couple unacceptable invites too, is there a Cancan or Canhexing from here? I think they might be spam invites. Probably spam people, get banned, and then you can't add them.

Re: Hearthstone

Yeah, they were banned.

Be careful adding random people anyway. Sometimes they're people that you played earlier that want to rage and talk a bunch of shit lmao.

Re: Hearthstone

Cool, added you

EDIT: Fucking priests man x.x I was 5-2 in arena then some priest had some creature that has attack equal to health and it had 6 attack so I couldn't Big Game Hunter it and then next turn he used some cards to double its health twice and killed me for 24 damage -_- I was gonna win too.

Priests are unbelievably predictable when it comes to doing this and it's a pretty bad play actually because it's so easily countered and loses them the game.

Here's what you do:

Step 1. Draft a silence. Owl is the cheapest way to do it but spellbreaker works well too. Some classes have castable silences.

Alternatively, class specific cards that work against this: polymorph, hex, equality.

Step 2. Just wait for it.

Step 3. Win, because they effectively waste a bunch of cards into your dirt cheap removal and they're almost always extremely fucked at this point. You are pretty much 3 for 1'ing them AND removing board control...and it's over. Just shut down any cantrips they have on the board and wipe them up.

Re: Hearthstone

Now that's what I call a good card pack.

Edit - for whatever reason the image doesn't want to link. It was golden Ancient Brewmaster, golden Ancestral Spirit, Void Terror, Blood Knight and Perdition Blade.

Re: Hearthstone

I'm fucking mad.

I just played in the Arena, and lost the first 3 games due to bad luck.

Game 1: I had 6 minions on the field, opponent plays a card that takes control of one random one. All of the other 5 were shit, 6th was an 8/8. If he didn't take my 8/8 I would've won.

Game 2: I had 4 really strong minions (9/9, 6/6, 5/2, 7/3). Opponent has a 0/1 frog with taunt that I had hexed. He then plays a card that destroys all minions on the field except for one random one. Guess which one it was. On top of that, I ended up losing by one attack afterwards because the frog's goddamn taunt meatshielded the last hit.

Game 3: I had two minions in my hand. One of them 1 cost and the other my 8/8. All I needed was Alarm-o-bot to send out the 8/8 and I would've had complete control of the game. Guess which one got sent out.

I swear to god I just have the shittiest luck when it comes to games. Nothing pisses me off more than losing due to freak coincidence.

Reminds of the time I was playing Risk with a friend and I attacked his army of 2 with my army of 12 and I lost everything without taking out a single one of his men.

Re: Hearthstone

Everyone has strings of shitty luck, lol.

Why be mad? It'll happen. I average 7 wins in arena and I've gone 0-3 too.

Sometimes it's not even shit like that. Sometimes it's shitty decks that mulligan and draw unbelievably perfectly to the point that your opponent has a perfect response to everything you do . Even worse!


Game 1: Mind control tech is nothing new and probably one of the better arena drafts. Take one if you can because, as you've now seen, it can win games. Obviously you were favored and he sucked out. Happens.

Game 2: Brawl? Not much you can do about that. This is probably THE worst and most situational of the 1 trick pony comeback cards and is not often something I would add to an arena deck. It's garbage because it's only really good when you're losing horribly (which used to be cool in constructed OTK decks but since those don't exist anymore it's pretty much garbage). Shit happens though.

Game 3: This was probably the most avoidable situation of the three. Never coinflip unless you have to, and if you have to, accept the fact you'll lose half of the time. I guess here you have to flip, but I play warlock a lot and these types of situations come up because of soulfire but I've generally learned to play to avoid flipping by changing my decisions on previous turns.

Re: Hearthstone
