Why does the Unstable Portal brawl include Mindgames?

Brandi · Post Post #2476 (ISO) » Fri Sep 18, 2015 11:16 am

because it's lame
I had it pop up in my first hand and mulligan'd it. Then I got it back anyway, and it was my first draw, so I sat with 2 mindgames in my hand the whole game <_<

Just hope the other person gets Malorne and kill it. 4 mana Malorne is pretty good.

so the meta has basically settled and I feel like the only cards that really made an impact were the 2 new dragons in Dragon Priest & Justicar Trueheart making Control Warrior even more ridiculous in control v control matchups

kinda disappointed

Um... did you accidentally think that Mysterious Challenger was a Blackrock Mountain card for a moment, or.. what?

Yeah, I remember it's a thing. I see less and less of it now as people have learned to deal with the deck, but you're right, that is another card that was missed.

Still: 4 cards out of an entire set seeing any regular play is just kinda frownyface

New sets will become increasingly irrelevant unless they introduce a method of card rotation or let power creep run out of control.

Other ones that come to mind for me

Darnassus Aspirant has helped make Druid more consistent
Brave Hunter replaced Worgen Infiltrator in some aggressive Hunter decks
Some instances of Totem cards in Midrange Shaman (and midrange Shaman in a much better spot than it was, even if still not top of the meta)

I've been running the 2 mana 3/2 beast and 5 mana 3/3 if you have a beast summon a random beast in my midrange hunter too. I don't actually think the deck is all that good though.

The biggest thing from the update was dragon priest and secret paladin. Druid got a slight buff but there weren't many changes. Oil rogue got completely shafted though which sucks.

xRECKONERx · Post Post #2485 (ISO) » Wed Sep 23, 2015 2:22 am

I'm really tired of the Rogue archetype that has existed without really any changes since basically week one of GvG. There's not much room for variation. The first thing I did in TGT was try to make a Beneath the Grounds deck work, because it felt different. (Same reason I tried to make mill rogue a real thing.)

popsofctown · Post Post #2486 (ISO) » Wed Sep 23, 2015 2:45 am

Holy Champion is seeing play, but I think it's only good at high MMR where there's less facehunter.

itlepip · Post Post #2487 (ISO) » Wed Sep 23, 2015 3:06 am

At release I was so sure that beneath the Grounds was going to be amazing, but wow that card sucks. Also the amazing poison blade which just acts like the old rogue hero power...

I'm struggling a bit though against some of the more common decks (Primarily secret Paladin) and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to improve the deck at all. I don't have any of the new TgT cards in the deck so perhaps someone could suggest some good ones in this?

I think you cannot really tech a Face Hunter against Secret Pally. I mean sure, you can use kezans and stuff but then what do you cut?

I was rank 9 last season and my goal is rank 5 - just like you.
I am climbing with Midrange Hunter and I am at rank 11 currently, I found it pretty good so far. It's not specifically strong against Paladin but I think it is better than Face Hunter.
And Patron is generally good against Paladins, so it shouldn't struggle against the secret version either.

Well, mission accomplished

:

Btw, I would recommend Dragon Priest for everyone who wants to climb, - at least until rank 5, I don't know what's above - I am pretty sure that I will use it next season, too. It is a very strong deck.
This is my deck list:

As you can see, I don't even have Cabals/Vol'jin/Ysera, and I still beat every single deck. Freeze Mage is the only "almost unbeatable" deck, if you draw well you can even beat Control Warrior and Handlock, simply because this deck's dream curve is insane.

So I have this problem where I like building decks for Hearthstone, and I enjoy spectating matches and watching streamers, but I don't feel like I have much fun actually playing, and I feel like this is both a waste and a quick turnaround on my enthusiasm for the game. Like, I'll build a new take on Dragon Priest, think "that looks good", then log off and never play it.

It's what happens when you design a game with 2-3 nontrivial decisions per 30 minute match.

Glork · Post Post #2492 (ISO) » Sat Sep 26, 2015 11:15 am

I have gotten to the point where I prefer spectating to actually playing.

I play very average game length decks like Mechmage and Secretadin. I'm just awful at making time estimates. I stand corrected here.

theelkspeaks · Post Post #2496 (ISO) » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:42 am

I played a match the other day where I lost 3-1 and all four had at least one player go to fatigue. The match took about 70 minutes.

Those decks, especially mechmage, have almost no decisions and just count on cancer draws. Don't complain about lack of decision points if thats what you are playing?

fuuucking shit im bouncing between 8 & 7 and I just really wanna hit 5 this season but UGH

If I could play control warrior and force my opponent to control warrior ditto me, I would. But if I play control Warrior or Patron warrior and may opponent shows up with Facehunter and Mechmage, then it feels like I'm playing solitaire, and then after I'm done with solitaire we both get a match result off of it. Still doesn't feel good.
