warlock is probably the best class in the game and the card draw power is definitely the best power.
how is warlocks? i started playing yesterday and i always liked the dark forces in TCG so i went directly to a warlock, i like the drawing card skill but i feel like losing 2 health is too much
never play this game before. Is this an online game
I had a Priest use an Inner Fire on one of my minions (I think it was the 4/5 Yeti) just to insta-kill it. It was clever, but I still beat him.
At least from what I've seen from playing a Priest, the biggest problem is the obsession with gimmicks. Everyone has seen the gimmick once, and it's some combination of Power Word: Shield, Divine Spirit and Inner Fire to create some ridiculous minion that cries at the sight of a 2/1 Owl. The problem with this is the setup. Lightwells work so well because of their high initial health and very low mana cost. That usually allows you to get it out quickly without as much worry that the opponent will simply destroy it. Not to mention, the Lightwell can heal itself even if it takes some damage. However, it doesn't help that a lot of the current popular decks focus heavily on tons of low-cost minions (the zoo or murloc decks), which means your minion (that you're intending to buff) most likely will not be on the board alone. Some of the decks also feature a lot of low cost removal.
That makes me wonder why there isn't such a high push with Charge minions. Now, I realize that someone is going to say, "aikouka, that's because charge minions have such horrible health!" Yes, pretty much all of them do... except the 4-cost 2/5 Stormwind Knight, which actually has pretty decent health for its cost (as a comparison, the Yeti is 4/5). The only thing that worries me about that is the relatively high cost of the overall setup. The minion costs 4, Divine Spirit costs 2 and Inner Fire costs 1. So, to perform this all on the same turn, you need 7 mana. You can gain the same end result as the Lightwell, but with a +2 mana cost. I'm tempted to toss it into a deck just to try it out.
Anyway, so in my experience with the Priest, most opponents are painfully aware of what you're trying to do with your minions. Most players will try to keep your minion count as low as possible or as low of health as possible (the abilities mentioned above only work on current health not max health). My deck doesn't rely on the buff gimmick (it has them though), but I've had a lot of trouble with decks that have high amounts of low cost removal. The priest lacks a lot of AoE removal. Holy Nova deals 2 damage (and heals for 2), but it costs 5 mana. So, what happens is that the opponent uses low cost removal (Warlocks are particularly nasty with this) to kill my early minions while playing lots of cheap ones (i.e. typical zoo garbage), and I have nothing to counter that with.
EDIT:
It does seem bad at first, but when you're playing a deck that relies on spamming (Zoo Warlock or Mur-lock) low cost minions, you need to be able to keep your deck filled. When I have a really bad draw against a Warlock, it isn't uncommon that the majority of the damage dealt to the Warlock was from his own card drawing.
Too a point, I agree with you. But the counter is to have the +taunt to adjacent minions in your deck and/or doomsayer for either a board wipe or to force the attacks from the enemy minions against that card.
Unfortunately, I don't think that I have the Doomsayer, and I know I lack the cheap 2-cost taunt-giver. The latter is definitely a card that I'd like to get, but I'm waiting for a good sale on iTunes gift cards to get more cards. I could buy them with gold (I have around 1100 gold), but I'll probably use that to buy The Curse of Naxxramas as long as it's the most effective way (i.e. not like how gold can only buy a single pack, which is the worst pack/$ ratio).
how does crafting work? i can create ANY card? or do i need at least 1 to create a2nd copy of that card?
I've been dissenchanting some stuff from decks i dont care about but how do i enchant into something?

where is the crafting mode? in my collection? is the option that i still dont have below arena?
Don't have the dust to craft the card?
You can do any card, no need to have it already.
Just go into crafting mode and right click one of the faded icons and it shows you the price in dust and lets you create it.
Played a couple games this weekend for first time in about 2 weeks. Took mage as that would get me 2.5 quest complete with only 2 wins. Ended up only needing 2 games, peculiar thing was I faced murloc decks in both matches. First was a pally, second a druid.
soo what are some goods hands? I cannot seem to progress passed 20 in ranked.
I freaking suck at the Arena...dammit. Better I did was 3-3...
But I can rank ok in constructed, Rank 11 was my best and so far i'm 13.
I know I can get under 10 but I don't play that much.
I just can't quite build a good deck in the Arena, I choose cards that I know are good in constructed but end up sucking in Arena.
Need more practice I guess.
Also, one interesting thing to keep in mind is that a sheep is a beast, and you should keep that in mind when you're fighting a hunter. Leaving a sheep alive will boost Kill Command (3 direct damage or 5 with a beast on the field).
