Hearthstone- Heroes of Warcraft (Enter Your ID!)

[wgeurts]

I've heard about this game, is it worth getting?
Someone I know said it was free however realistically what will the costs be if you want to get a decent experience?

Also the issue isn't that it's op, but that out fundamentally changes the most intrinsic and interesting hs game decision, which is face vs trade. It makes face almost always incorrect, which in turn means decks built around aggression are bad.

Or you just kill them before they can drop Reno.

But yeah Reno is a terrible card.

In HS you can spend either time or money.

I've put in about 5 months of grinding and 50$ and have what I would say is a fully competitive collection with all the expansions and can build most competitive decks that I want to, realistically I was already competitive without spending the 50 bucks but I got lazy and wanted a whole bunch of legends and didn't feel like grinding the dust to get them, so I just bought a 50 pack of packs.

You can adjust those numbers. If you wanted to get all the expansions with cash and then like 50 packs that would get you to a point where you would be pretty competitive on ladder right away. That would run you probably about 125$ or so. Or you could do the combined grind/cash thing like I did to save money, or just grind it. If you just grinded it you probably would spend about a month or so until you had a deck that was pretty competitive (though not top tier) It's actually not hard to get up to one pretty good deck. It's when you want to have a lot of different decks that it gets pretty expensive, dust and gold wise.

Of course, this assumes you want to play constructed. If you only really care about arena, you don't really have to spend any money on cards, just complete your daily quests for in game gold and you should be able to get 2/3 arena runs per week. If that's all you want then the game really would be free, and you can get good at arena and go infinite (if your runs are more than 7 wins you get a higher prize than the 150 gold it costs to enter them)

Who the hell drafts eerie statue in arena.

[implosion]

i'm not sure if i've never had the option to draft that card or if i literally just didn't even notice it because i didn't stop to consider it

[Errantparabola]

At first I ask myself "why am I dropping ranks so quickly"
Then I remember I'm playing dragon druid

Who the hell drafts eerie statue in arena.

You would be surprised.

[AngryPidgeon]

I might pick eerie statue over ancient watcher or ....uh.. is alarmobot a rare?

The tierlist that I sometimes refer to in fact recommends picking it over

exactly those two cards and nothing else

(apart from a couple cards that have lower scores in some classes).

[DeathNote]

The warrior deck I just drafted was soooooo bad that I didn't even bother playing it and just retired right away. Man I couldn't believe some of the options.

I'm too scared to try warrior because I know I'll lose probably all my games.

I did draft an okay druid today. I lost the first 2 games and was super depressed, but then won the next 4, so overall not bad.

[DeathNote]

Like warrior has awesome weapons so if I can just pull some of them I think I would do ok?

[3dicerolling]

Warrior's strength is directly proportional to how many fiery war-axes you grt

[DeathNote]

I'm dying right now lol. I had a pretty close game 1 with a hunter arena and need about 4 damage to finish my opponent. I was trying to think of spells and such that I had to deal it and couldn't.

I completely forgot about my kraken and ended up playing a venture co and elephant. The Elephant drew me right into Kraken which I couldn't play the next turn

Just piloted the worst deck ever to

5

6 wins. Way to be Paladin.

[AngryPidgeon]

Put your faith in the light

[Glork]

Put your faith in dead murlocs!

[Sudo_Nym]

I bring life and BLAAARGH

[implosion]

[AngryPidgeon]

lmao

[implosion]

Possibly the most absurd arena game or any game i've ever played just happened... and in the 0-0 bracket no less.

I drafted anub'arak. I played it on turn 9, and he facelessed it. I then played mounted raptor on anub'arak... which means I had a completely endless supply of 4/4s. I probably played anub'arak 4-5 times. He also had ysera. And antonidas. I won.

HNNNG.

[PJ.]

I wish I could draw an Epic in an Arena pool.

[AngryPidgeon]

Why? Epics are bad in arena on average

[Thestatusquo]

Heh. Disguised Toast.
