Title: Hearthstone
Post by: LinkCelestrial on April 21, 2015, 03:35:58 PM
Before you yell at me I'm only playing it because of the app. And it's really good. Anybody else play it? What decks do you run?

I have a highly successful Mage Burn-ish deck using the + spell damage to wreck people.

I have a Rouge Tempo-ish deck. It's pretty solid and fun to play.

I have a Priest Pillowfort deck. It's insane when it runs properly. It uses taunt creatures and mass healing effects to produce a resilient grindy deck.

I play it too, but not as much the last few months. Made decks for each char, to get to finish the daily quests. I actually ran the single player dungeon as well, including the challenges and the first boss on hc.
Got a pillowfort priest as well as a tempo lock and aggro hunter. I believe those three are the strongest I've got. Rogue and Warrior are more based on weapons, they can win out but not vs defensive decks since I run out of steam.
I started playing with Mage burn, but the deck got a little neglected. Druid is a burn/aggro hybrid, and shaman a totem-based burn-ish, I believe, and Pally weenie. Not even sure anymore. Really gotta pick it up again, but spending a lot of time organizing my mtg decks and collection ATM.

I've hit rank 18. I keep doing well and outplaying my opponents then I get bombed by a rares, epics and legendaries. It's kinda annoying. Like I have to re-read them cause I don't feel like they should exist.

My Mage burn deck is really quite good. It has a hard time if it has to start playing control but it can pull through.

The priest Pillowfort is /so/ much better now that I've got Shadow Word: Death. I'm loving this deck. My Mage deck is just more fun.

I made a Druid swarm deck. It is so good. 20+ damage in one turn.

Does anyone think Mage based control could be a thing?

I've found I enjoy my Rogues deck. So board, very control.

Haven't gone for any rankings yet, but that'll change at some point I'm sure

You can't go down in rank till 20 so it's pretty safe. You also face much more competitive opponents. Just beware the 3 legendaries 6 epics and 10 rare decks.

In fact, I believe once you achieve a rank, you keep it. Above 20 you do need 3 consecutive wins, because you lose a star when you lose.
Below 20 it's pretty safe to experiment.
And yes, those epics/legendaries....

I don't know cause once I passed twenty I never lost a game with no stars. Win streaks make you climb fast.

I know @ 20 you won't go down. Winstreaks & your boost from last month do wonders.

Sweet. I'm also in the process of building token druid, just not enough resources atm. Mech shaman, my usual deck, just isn't cutting it. Floating at rank 16 right now.

So what is the premise of said game?
Is it free?
Other questions I can't think of right now...

It's free. 9 classes, each with their own unique cards and hero powers. A power always costs two mana and has a small effect ie deal one damage anywhere, make a 1/1. There are cards for every class and class specific cards.

I just recently got back into this because a friend plays. I have a budget version of Warlock Zoo that I'm having a ton of fun with, a Priest Inner Fire deck that's...well it doesn't even have Inner Fire...but it can one shot out of nowhere! A budget Warrior Control deck that's kinda okay. Been hovering around 19-18 as I've been playing too much jank in an attempt to try and finish quests...

I mostly stick to the arena thingy. I seem to normally get a pretty decent number of wins ~5-7
Title: Re: Hearthstone
Post by: LinkCelestrial on December 25, 2015, 03:05:41 PM
That's very impressive. What do you get back for doing that well? I'm debating trying to get good at Arena cause I've heard it's the best way to earn cards.

Any arena run over 7 wins nets at least 150 gold. Go infinite!

With your Christmas money I recommend you buy all the expansions ($70 total). It'll make competitive play world's easier.
