Just thoughtstole 2 Grom's and a Carine from a warrior. I'd be pretty flabbergasted if that happened to me. The priest didn't have an easy way to enrage Grom though, so he was less effective than usual.

Turns out Arena miracle Rogue is quite fun:

I had 3 ipads in my house, what I had to do to get the fireside back?

 

[Bizazedo]

here is an easy way to get the fireside cardback, i saw it on reddit.


took like 5 mins total to get it

Thanks, worked pretty well once a party connection actually kicked in.

Log all 3 onto hearthstone with seperate battle.net accounts. Have the ones you want to have the back play 3 matches against any of the other ipads on the network.

 

[Card Boy]

Finally got Fireside Gatherings cover. Eliminating the ipad and replacing it with another PC got it for me. I checked the IP of all machines aswell before attempting it again.

 

[The Lamonster]

The Fireside card back is beautiful. I love the subtle glowing animation. Cannot wait to acquire more.

 

[Ghost23]

Can I get the fireside back on a college campus wifi?

I'm not a fan of how we had to get this one, though. I (kind of) understand why they did it, but working around the system is irritating.

 

[arimanius]

I'm in this party with a few others helping people get the back if you still need it.

Popped in as dotdissent, got my backing. I can confirm this works wonderfully

 

[ACE 1991]

Man, mad bombers are horse shit. I have the worst luck with them.

 

[Special C]

Yes! A Wisp!! Sweet.

 

[Vio-Lence]

Just put leeroy into my shaman deck for some lols. Leeroy + rockbiter + windfury + flametongue for sick lethals.

 

[Ghost23]

Leeroy is perfect for my hunter deck. Finished a guy off with 12 health with Leeroy and Unleash the Hounds with 6 enemies (including Leeroy's two minions).

same for me. If played early I usually use it as a barometer of how the game will play out.

Tried joining, played like 6 games against Breadsmasher, didn't get my card back. Restarted evolve and now it says "You cannot enter parties because the party system is currently unavailable. Try again later."

I'm still in the room but no one has joined in a bit. They may be having issues.

Yeah, I checked their homepage and it appears they are getting hit hard by all the people trying to get the Hearthstone card backs, will try again tomorrow.

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

And Alexstrasza is my first legendary. Awesome.

 

[Fersis]

I think i beat all the Expert AIs and didnt get 100 Gold.

Is there anyway to check which AI im missing?

 

[cackhyena]

Yes! A Wisp!! Sweet.

Wait, I've had a Wisp for a while. What's it good for?

 

[johnsmith]

Sarcasm. He got 2 legendaries and an epic, the wisp is garbage.

 

[Majine]

Ihihihihi a hunter started off strong, put me down to 10 health (him 30), but I swung the match into 17 (him 0). Get rekt.

 

[Bii]

Sarcasm. He got 2 legendaries and an epic, the wisp is garbage.

What luck! I bought 7 packs at $10 and got Mind Control Techs as my rare in five of the packs. I'm tempted to drop down $50... :x

 

[Strider]

Yes! A Wisp!! Sweet.

A Leper Gnome too! Amazing!

 

[Sothpaw]

Haven't played in a few months. 12-2 as mage. I honestly can't believe Blizzard hasn't nerfed them yet. So damn easy to win.

And yes the 2 losses were to mages.

Huh. Are mages considered OP? I've noticed I'm having lots of trouble with them. Fireball deaths suck. If we make it to turn 10, I know I'm done.

Ha. Didn't even pay attention to the rest of them.

In Arena their board clears are dominant and they are generally viewed as the best class.

In Constructed they are crap because they have poor minions and expensive board clears that don't allow you to take board control.

 

[cackhyena]

Does the player have a certain amount of time before the game just starts when choosing cards? I waited five or six minutes for this guy to choose. After about a minute, I decided the guy is just a piece of shit trying to get a win out of me conceding or the game weirdly hung up in the card select screen.

 

[Hero]

I've only done Arena twice, first time as a class I never really played and the second time as a Rogue and got terrible cards in my pool.

Any good tips on doing well in Arena?

If it takes that long then the game disconnected/bugged out.

I use http://www.arenavalue.com/ to help build my deck. You can compare different cards and their relative values. That said, I still suck at Arena D:

Picked Mage in Arena... first time I don't have Flamestrike D=

Are the US servers fucked? Froze up during a mulligan screen, constantly dc'ing when I search for players now.

 

[Majine]

Yes

 

[johnsmith]

Game froze while casting a spell during arena. I close it out and log back in, and instead of letting me continue is gives me a loss. Fix your shit, blizzard.

Yeah I just played a game and the persons name was UNKNOWN. Then I got the closed shield on the main screen.

Choose Mage or Paladin if able. Focus on a mana curve that peaks at 2 with a solid number of 3's and 4's. Choose cards that have good stat value and can stand on their own if necessary (no ancient watchers). Take as many high value AOEs (Swipe, Consecrate, Firestorm) as you can. Mulligan towards having a handful of 1 and 2 drops.

From there it's about learning matchups and the nuance of when to trade and when to go face.

Thanks. I'm an experienced Magic player so while I am pretty good at evaluating card strengths I didn't bother doing any research on the classes I didn't play previously. Will use these resources now!

Yeah, removal seems key in this game. Yesterday I was in a match against a Paladin where he topdeck this card, maybe Avenging Wrath? Dealt 8 damage randomly to my board and of course it dealt enough to wipe my three minions.

whoooo i play mage. no wonder i see so few in ranked. made it to level 11 which is probably crap but i've won like 10 matches in a row so i can retire this season feeling good about that at least.

I play Mage and I'm current rank 9. Not bad for a deck that doesn't use any epic or legendary cards.
