Hearthstone

[TubeHunter]

Im playing midrange mage, reminecent of trump's ftp deck, I foolishly bought a pack, and now have to grind back 150 to get an arena run.

[Captain Murphy]

mage was my favorite class for a long time until the pyro nerf. On top of the frost spells nerf mage is now dead

[Self Medicated]

I'm stuck around 19-20 right now. I think it's because I don't really have the dust to craft some of the better cards. I also am having a dismal time with the Arena. I'll get to 3 wins and then just start losing. My record is 4 wins. 4 WINS. Fucking horrible. I need to re-read the arena drafting tips.

[Captain Murphy]

Watch the curve, don't worry about synergy as much as good 2 for 1 traders and good value cards. Only pick amazing spells.

I've had some crazy decks like a mage draft with 7 mana wurms and a shaman deck with 5 flametongue totems

I'll try drafting again tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

[Captain Murphy]

Oh and always draft mage if possible because it is, and always will be the best draft class. Other classes can get you those 10-12 wins but mage is just OP in arena

[Captain Murphy]

Got to rank 9 tonight after a decent grind, open beta has really made it harder to get to around rank 5

[Captain Murphy]

Ladder reset, got all the way to 9 for no reason

[TubeHunter]

doing pretty well with a kinda mediocre warrior deck in arena, 3-1 right now, only loss was to a mage who's only out was polymorph and drew it, otherwise my 14-9 gruul was going to crush his face in

I'm loving Warrior still, got to rank 5 last season.


Being able to shift gears and take over the game is amazing. You swing your first weapon charge at their board, the next one goes upstairs and suddenly you're the aggressor and they have to react to you.

Or else they get bursted from literally nowhere.

[Captain Murphy]

I'm on a winning streak from 25 to 14 at the moment, not a single loss lol

[Captain Murphy]

Shaman and pally are my 2 main decks at the moment

[Captain Murphy]

Patch was rally good, makes the game look nicer and the Nat page nerf was needed

[Link]

Tinkmaster's was also definitely needed

[Link]

I actually thought my opponent was retarded today when he tinkmastered my 2/1 over my Molten Giant but your post reminded me >__>

[LP, of the Fires]

I was between rank seven last season. Hit a win streak up to 12, then hit a wall cause I play terribly when tired and just recently recovered from the time change. About 700 gold from leeroy Jenkins for my hunter and rogue decks.

[LP, of the Fires]

I play Hunter agro, Rogue Mid/tempo, and I have a really shitty version of Miracle rogue that's missing all the legends and thus I rarely play it.

[Captain Murphy]

Tinkmaster should have just been raised to a higher mana cost, now he is completely unplayable and a junk legend that would feel bad to pull

[Link]

isnt he still 1600 to disenchant atm?

I'd love to open one

[Captain Murphy]

Yes until the next update. Some of my best DE dust was from a gold pyroblast for 1600, 2 gold dark iron dwarfs for 800 and Sylvanas Windrunner for 1600 when she was originally nerfed

[Captain Murphy]

Just lost my arena run after a bad misplay, mage on 6 life and a 2/3 wurm. Iwas druid with a 7/2 golem. he had previously played a 3 cost secret and I knew it wasn't a mirror image, ice barrier or vaporize (from previous interactions) so I assume its an ice block. I draw the card that can give my guy +4 heath and taunt and instead of attacking first I play it, and it ends up being the secret that forces that target on a 2/1. I lose the 7/2 the following turn and end up losing.

I feel pissed off and buy a pack with gold, crack the first of 2 packs (one was arena prize) and pull a legendary. It ends up being the pally legend, a card I don't really care for but makes the arena run feel worthwhile. then my other pack has a legendary and an epic. I crack the epic first and its a molten giant, I already have 2 and I need a mountain giant.
Then I crack the legend and its alexstraza, a legend I already have then I rage again.

Just cracked an VanCleef from an Arena run

BUDGET MIRACLE ROGUE LETS BREW KINCEY

I'm 1k dust away from Leeroy because I had to craft auctioneers for the budget version >.>

[Captain Murphy]

Saw this steazy rogue deck that used Questing Adventurer. Basically Play cards to buff > attack > give stealth rinse and repeat every turn

[Pedros]

Any good tutorial about competitive heartstone? Dont know a shit about this game and allowing you to play all the time and not wait as in mtgo is soo good when you have limited time.

Is there any difference between promo cards and normal cards? Do you need money to start playing this game?

help ;D

[Captain Murphy]

Play arena, its the best way to learn all the cards and when you start hitting 3-4 wins its basically free. You always get a pack too so thats good.

You don't have to spend money, you can get everything for free it just takes time grinding arena and playing the ladder. Arena is fun too so it works out fine!

There are some arena guides online for good card picks for that format, I'd start there and just build some casual decks to play in casual until you unlock some more competitive cards. I've been playing since the closed beta last year and I average 8 wins in arena, a lot of the time getting 9-10 wins so I can play arena for free whenever.

Save gold for arena obviously, play the dailies for gold.

[Captain Murphy]

The format is quite diverse at the moment. Druid beatdown, druid control, Warlock draw/go control, warlock zoo, shaman control, paladin rush, control priest, rush warrior, armor up warrior.

The idea is to play a bit and get a feel for what play style and hero's you prefer. Druid and priest are really strong but I hate to play them, whereas others hate shaman but I love it. You will find yourself in hearthstone soon enough!

[TubeHunter]

I've opened 3 gold cards in my last 3'packs
Cold light oracle
Earthen ring farseer
Cruel taskmaster
Decent ones too. (Except oracle)

I'm a sucker for gold cards, I want them all!

[lorddax]

I always DE golds for the extra dust since theres not trading, especially if I already have two copies.

[Captain Murphy]

Yeah I DE all extra copies of gold cards, I have 1 argent commander and 1 azure drake that are gold because I only have 1 normal copy.

I Even DE gold epics that I will never use for that sweet 400 dust

[Captain Murphy]

Considering what to spend my dust on, a rag because its strong and I could add to decks or Lord jaraxxis because I want to play handlock

[Pedros]

Had 5 hours between my classes today and didnt thought of doing anything constructed -> my draft bug awakened.

Jumped into hearthstone arena and currently 8/8. Game is quite easy.

[Captain Murphy]

Thats good! Keep up the work and eventually you will have some strong decks

Crafted lord jaraxxus, loving handlock and the funny Jaraxxus emotes

[Captain Murphy]

If anyone is interested in trophies and a bit of fun

[TubeHunter]

Id say this is a pretty good pack.

[Captain Murphy]

Double legend is always a good thing!

Here is the link for Self_Medicated. (last deck in the article, but the whole thing is rather good.)


The big hurdle is going to be Leeroy, but you should have most of the rest. (and once you have leeroy, youd be suprised how fast the rest of the pieces fall into place!

[TubeHunter]

Alright, i have a question. Im sitting around 1600 dust right now, trying to build a druid deck.

Should i craft a legendary? Or the 6 other epic and rare cards i need?

[Captain Murphy]

A legendary, considering how hard it is to crack a single legend but how easy it is (in comparison) to crack packs and get rares and epics.

It also depends on the legendary here is a list used to define the best legends to craft:

Tier 1 - Do Not Disenchant

Cairne Bloodhoof
Ragnaros the Firelord
Leeroy Jenkins
The Black Knight

Tier 2 - Do Not Disenchant

Bloodmage Thalnos
Cenarius
Lord Jaraxxus
Ysera
Nat Pagle
Grommash Hellscream
Alexstrasza
Baron Geddon
Sylvanas Windrunner
Tirion Fordring

Tier 3 - Disenchant Golden Only

Al'Akir the Windlord
Archmage Antonidas
Captain Greenskin
Deathwing
Edwin VanCleef
Gruul
Hogger
King Krush
King Mukla
Malygos
Onyxia
The Beast

Tier 4 - Disenchant Standard Version

Nozdormu
Millhouse Manastorm
Lorewalker Cho
Illidan Stormrage
Harrison Jones
Tinkmaster Overspark
Prophet Velen

I play don't kick my robot a bit but it honestly wont
survive past rank 12-10, zoo is the best rush deck to play from that point forward.

[TubeHunter]

ok, i think im going to craft cairne then. (already have Leeroy)
