[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

[NerdBoyWonder]

Hit rank 20 in Hearthstone last night with my mostly basic Priest deck. Haven't lost a ranked game yet (now I'm destined to lose at least three in a row).

I have had no success with this game what so ever today. Just went a straight 0-3 in arena and haven't won a constructed match to save my life right now.

GAH!! I cant believe I mistook Khaos for Kaze. I mean the lights were on this time so I couldn't make the mistake twice!!!

[NerdBoyWonder]

Hearthstone losing streak continues. Close to being done with the game.

I went from nearly rank for to rank 7 today and have been in rank seven for like, 3 hours.

NBW - Hearthstone has been pissing me off lately also. My last Arena, I went 0-3. I followed the draft tier list exactly with nothing to show for it.

My first (free) arena run I went 0-3. It was miserable, but I still got a pack and some dust out of it. Also, it was free, so I figured I couldn't complain too much.

I'm still 50 gold away from my next arena run. I should get there tonight. Here's
hoping I win at least one game.

I'm building towards a Priest deck that uses the Ancient Watcher and some cheap ways to give him taunt, along with tons of heals and that Priest that turns my heals into damage.

Well, you can't follow the draft tier list exactly. What's good and what's good for your deck aren't always the same thing. You still have to keep your curve in mind. Sometimes any two drop is better than a Chillwind Yeti.

I strayed from the list when my curve was a concern.

We're both extremely dashing and talented individuals - it's a permissible mistake.

[DarthStabber]

Never underestimate a grizzly bear! Assuming that hearthstone is roughly the same as the wow tcg, it's not going to change there. I have not been bitten by the hearthstone bug (yet), so I've got to ask how similar it is to the paper wow tcg?

[LP, of the Fires]

Finally back to rank five.

Arena like everything else in life, get's easier with time.

Cliff Notes:

Always pick Mage, Paladin, or Rogue to start with.

Play all the classes in practice mode(or wherever) first to get a feel for how the classes play out.

3/2 for 2 are really good.

Vanilla Test: 1 mana creatures are mostly horrible minus wolfgren infiltrator and mana wyrm. 2 mana guys should be at least 3/2. 3 mana at least 3/3. 4 mana at least 3 power and at least 3 toughness unless the ability is awesome, but a 3/3 for four is unplayable. 5 mana at least 5 toughness, at least 3 power. etc.

You can never have too many chillwind yetis.

Lifegain is horrible and cards with shitty states and lifegain are still shitty.

Trading profitably is paramount. Hearthstone games in generally are won and lost based on one player establishing early board advantage and snowballing it which is why picking effienct
creatures is so important.

Expensive cards are much better in hearthstone then in magic since you don't miss land drops so you can happily take that pyroblast or mind control.

Been invited to test with Australia's best team (they offered to help me prepare for Nagoya).

Looks like I might have a new job, which is perfect; I am trying to cut back to a normal work week so I can maintain a bit more life balance (with mtg commitments I would still be working ~70 hours a week anyway).

[Dechs Kaison]

Well, two arena runs under my belt. I did better this time. I got one win...

[Khaospawn]

I made the mistake of watching that Blackfish documentary last night.

My arena results started to get a lot better when I focused more on the bread philosophy of drafting instead of just comparing the 3 picks. The first 10 or so cards you draft need to be as strong as possible and then you can build the rest of your deck around those. I wouldn't sweat it though, arena has some variance to it. I've been quad flamestrike'd, and beaten to death with a string of Truesilver Champions. Sometimes people just get really strong picks.

I thought you were a lawyer? Are you saying you're going to quit and play MTG full time? That seems like a bad idea if so.

I think he's saying he got a new lawyer job that cuts down on his work hours.

[zemanjaski]

As usual Val's correct.

[Khaospawn]

Check out the big brain on Val! You one smart muthafucka, that's right!

[redthirst]

Val so smart.

*swoon

[redthirst]

Kaze, this is you, isn't it?

[redthirst]

If so, God bless you.

Hot anime chicks and Nazis? Two great tastes that taste great together.

[Khaospawn]

I want my hundred Nazi scalps!

[hamfactorial]

Now, take your Wiener Schnitzel-licking finger, and point out on this map what I want to know.

[Khaospawn]

I got a Bingo!

[lorddax]

FAP RO DAH!

[Kazekirimaru]

Kaze, this is you, isn't it?

Of course.

[Dechs Kaison]

Of all the things I miss from the USA...

I think I miss bacon the most.

[DroppinSuga]

hodor.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Hodor, quit Hodoring!

[Jonnymagic]

@Z -- grats! My wife is the office manager for a law firm, so my family has their feet knee deep in that ish too lol. Thankfully her lawyers mostly do non-litigation stuff, so her hours rarely fluctuate.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Oh, just saw. Congrats Z. Does this mean you have time for GP Ottawa?

[warwizard87]

dear god this thread is over 1000 pages.....im just waiting for this thread to hit 9001 pages.....for obvious reasons.... it had better be a entire page full of just that comment.

[Kazekirimaru]

That sad moment when you realize you're now older than the majority of the protagonists of the anime you watch/manga you read/games you play

[Kazekirimaru]

I traded fated quests and awkward schoolgirl interactions for drinking age.

[Kazekirimaru]

Even Domon Kasshu is 20.

I'LL NEVER PILOT A GUNDAM NOW

[Kazekirimaru]

I must resign to the role of either "older childhood friend and rival who eventually becomes a major antagonist due to his misguided ideals" or "older childhood friend who teaches you about combat during the tutorial and ends up a third-rate damage dealer by endgame"

[Kazekirimaru]

Lightning from FFXIII is 21, Himura Kenshin from Kenshin is 28.

Help me think of more mature protagonists to make me feel better >:
