Hearthstone

[Danimal1209]

just started playing recently. Have all players unlocked and up to lvl 19, then started playing arena. First time and went 2-3, then I just played again and won my first 11, lost 2, then won the third to get my 12 wins.

Rewards not the greatest...
220 gold
30 gold
gold common shadowstep
and 2 decks

Was hoping for a better card and more gold, from what I read the random gold is 20-175 so I got the extreme low end of that one.

You're upset at the rewards? You got two packs and a golden shadowstep for free, then profited 100 gold. Sounds like a good haul to me.

im trying to get myslf a warlock murlock game

Anyone knows if its still worth it? i hope it can led me to win some coins to get to another level and be able to build some decks from it, because as "cheap" as it may seem to be, im struggling to craft some of the most expensive murlocks...

some cards, even uncommon are really expensive to craft

 

[Rhezuss]

Damn...you 7+ wins arena gods, please help me get better than 3-3 in Arena!

How do you choose your cards/class...which is the best and which to avoid?
Do you prefer a 5 mana minion over a 2-3 mana "removal" spell?
Do you choose Taunt over Charge?
What?
How?


I really suck and I think I try to build my decks as if I was playing constructed...

Arena is a mess

i find that i can never make a good strategy in an arena build because i can never get 2 copies of the same cards, and i can never come up with combos because i always get 1 part of the combo and not the other one

so i just try to get as many Minions as i can with varied costs, i try to get 2 or 3 big creatures and i chose spells when i like what i get

from the heroes to chose...i kinda dont like Garrosh. I like Thrall but if you dont get your cards right the Overloaded ability can screw you up...

i think Valeera is a good pick because you can get some of those cards that return to your hand if you played something before, and well.. Gul'Dam has always some nice cards around and a good skill, and if you get the mage you can get lucky and have 2 of those 6damage cards that wins matches when played together

Try this site to help you draft cards. It'll take a bit longer to draft though.

Wow thanks! I'll give this a shot tonight.
You basically take the highest rated and hope for the best?

I tried one thing...Acidic Swamp (82) Ooze VS Consecration (86)...that would be a close call and I guess if i'm in need of minions the ASO would be the pick.

I'm not upset, it was a nice gain overall, but from what I could have gotten, I got the low end. I got the extreme low end on gold, and got a lower level card from the options.

I decided to have fun with a crazy little deck that I conjured up in my crazy mind! I dubbed it "Juggletastic" as the idea was to abuse the Knife Juggler as much as possible. How do you do that? Build the deck with a high focus on minions that summon minions! However, given how easy it is to take out the Knife Juggler, you can't just rely on it. Not to mention, it's not like the 1 damage knives are bound to kill much. So, I use it with a Shaman or Druid, and after that remark, you can probably guess what you do with it. Another point is that it isn't solely designed for zoo (tons of small minions) play. It also uses cards like the Frostwolf Warlord (gains +1/1 for every minion on the board) and the Sea Giant (10 cost, -1 cost per minion (friendly or foe) on the board).

Of course, it's still pretty susceptible to stuff like board wipes. I don't play it much in ranked as I normally just stick with my mage's no-gimmick deck (it's just a good amount of high value cards) that I've been using since I started. However, it's fun to mess around in casual with it. Even after losing all of my low-end minions, I've still won with the deck.

War-loc seems to be falling out of favor compared to other decks. The biggest problem with War-loc is that while the minions have great synergy, they're very fragile by themselves. For example, if you lack the +2 health murloc, most other murlocs only have 1-2 health, which means they're very easy to take out.

Honestly, the only time I ever lose against a murloc deck is when the person has godly draw luck (gets all the murlocs that they need at the right itme), and I don't (no good plays until turn 4 or so).

Yea, I'm not sure how complete that is. If it just compares static values for the cards then you'll have to decide how your deck looks so far. I do OK playing cards but building a deck is my weak point.

 

[Aikouka]

You'd probably also put a lot higher of a value on the Consecration if you don't have one yet, but you have an Equality in your deck already.

I drew 3 jugglers in arena once, managed to keep 2 deployed at all times during one match and killed him because of amount of knives I was tossing. he did kill one but I had just drawn the third.

 

[ikachu]

Some legitimate-looking stuff about Naxx leaked, hearthpwn.com has a pretty good summary.

 

[Fallen Kell]

Like when they will release the update and how much it costs in gold?

Like when they will release the update and how much it costs in gold?

I don't recall seeing anything about the cost or release date. The information touched on the following:

• Class card challenge requirements (x class defeats y boss to unlock the card)
• Various boss mechanics (Pachwerk, Four Horsemen, Noth, Loatheb, Gothik, Maexxna)
• Tiers for challenges (Class Challenges, Normal, Heroic)
• New cards (Feugan, Stalagg, Kel'thuzzad and Baron Rivendare)

i followed arenavalue to create my arena deck yesterday, got 4 wins until losing.

the cost of crafting is so fucking expensive... silly uncommon cards costs 100-200 dust and i only get 5-20 from disenchanting uncommons... i hate the system

Im trying to create a deck that is quite cheap actually (warlock-murlock).
I play arena, i get a booster , i open it and disenchant everything that is not warlock or neutral and i need like 1 week of doing that to be able to craft 1 card

Just buy a set of 20 packs or something and it should help a lot. I have no problem paying money in a F2P game if I play it enough and get enjoyment from it.

I have 1900 dust, what do you guys would recommend to craft out of it:
(I already have Rag, Ysera, King Krush, Sylvanas, Black Knight, Thalnos, Antonidas, Cairne, Grommash, Gruul, Jaraxxus, Tirion)

- Edwin Vancleef
- Mukla
- Leeroy
- Alexstrasza
- Al'Akir
- Cenarius
- Hogger
- Harrison
- Nat Pagle

I'm leaning towards Hogger or Leeroy more...but don't want to spend 1600 dust on something I won't be using. I also think about dusting some legs I don't use...

 

[Kev]

Definitely Leeroy.

 

[JTsyo]

Definitely Leeroy.

Thinking he might see a nerf at some point, at least they give you full dust back.

Well, no one plays Al'Akir, so that makes that choice much easier. Nat Pagle used to be great until he got nerfed. He can still be a great source of cards, but he's really just a cheaper, slightly beefier and far less effective Mana Tide Totem (100% chance to draw a card). Hogger isn't awful, but the 2/2 taunt is usually only effective at keeping you in board control not attaining it. If you don't play that specific class, I would avoid their class card. However, VanCleef can be really effective as part of a Miracle Rogue deck given the ridiculous combo potential. The only problem is that he's also incredibly susceptible to removal at that point.

Speaking of Miracle Rogue, Leeroy is pretty much the bread and butter of that build. So, if I wanted to consider something for Miracle, I would go with Leeroy over VanCleef. Leeroy is also rather effective in just about any deck that can buff him. Got a Paladin with Leeroy and Blessing of Might? That's 9 damage!

Other than that... maybe Mukla or Alexstrasza?

 

[Rhezuss]

I think it's gonna be Leeroy...been too long since I wanted this card and seeing how cool it seem to be.

Honestly, I have around 2000 dust, and I'm thinking about crafting one for myself! So, it's certainly not a bad choice as it's probably the most versatile of all the cards you mentioned.

 

[Udgnim]

have Leeroy & Ragnaros

Ragnaros is more fun imo, but I hate playing aggro decks and have tried playing Miracle Rogue and don't like how often it is dependent on needing Gadgetzan to work

been wanting to play Handlock. might have enough cards & dust to put together most if not all the pieces together

 

[EDUSAN]

what is handlock?

 

[Rhezuss]

what is handlock?

It's a Warlock specific deck that rely drawing lots of cards and summoning cards that rely on your hand size like giants. It's really fun to play.
