Dude this is not a discussion.
You have your taste, I have mine. I personally enjoyed watching someone come back from a 0-3 with a streak of serendipitous rolls and the skill to abuse them to full effect.

I'll take the offer, thanks.
Sap is a pretty good dedicated mill card.
Greenskin's body is easy to remove, so you really need to be able to get use out of his battlecry and preferably on curve, which isn't reliable since you can only put in one Greenskin. It's great value for a Rogue or a Warrior running Arcanite Reaper, but sketchy to put him in as a Paladin, Shaman, Hunter.. since it's more efficient to do a 3-drop and hero power on turn 5.
I had a shock tonight that made me laugh. I had two secrets up on my mage, one of them counterspell and a hunter played a flare and I swear... unless Im smoking crack his flare got counterspelled by my secret. I didn't even really process it until a turn later but wow at Flare being the secret counter but getting counter BY a secret. I suppose its not all that surprising but its.... I dunno.

Rogues mill by coldlight oracle + shadowstep. So shadowstep is really their mill card.
Sap and vanish are specialized removal when their hand is full.

No counter spell counters flare. It's the order by which it is played which is important, as flare is being cast it gets countered
but hearthstone isn't on smartphones yet.
Honestly, my biggest gripe with Hearthstone's F2P is that it isn't F2P enough. If I wanted to make a deck in MTGO, I could just pay money to buy whatever cards I needed. Unfortunately, the Dollarsust ratio in Hearthstone is so terrible that literally buying the cards I want is out of the question. At the base level of 40 dust per pack, it would take me $50 to be guaranteed enough dust to craft the Legendary of my choice.
No thanks, Blizzard. Leeroy definitely isn't worth $50, especially since he has 0 resale value.
Guess you need to become a top streamer and get those donations. 200 packs or riot

Oh man, i'm 8-0 with what looks like a mediocre mage deck, but that's performing admirably. I want to go to sleep but this late at night I'm getting matched up with ez mode opponents. Do i sleep or do i keep going?
Edit: 10 wins now, may as well keep going until I lose or hit 12 wins.
I lived the dream. 12-0. I've gotten tons of 12-3 wins before, but I think this is my first perfect run.

Oh god. This warrior... he had a pretty good field. Armor smith... a unstable ghoul... a taskmaster...
I had a highmane, silverback from webspinner, and a haunted creeper
He used brawl... and my highmane survived lol!
Like seriously, I don't even understand why he would brawl in the first place. But then to lose the entire game off the brawl... omg. He didn't even have an execute to kill off highmane.

I'd rather the game cost $50 and all the cards were available to you and they made money from selling things like naxx. but I guess the he wouldn't be nearly as popular.
and you don't need black knight to win. there are a lot of decks that don't run it. there isn't a single card in the game that you need in order to win.

There's no card you need to win, but a lot of the decks require a certain baseline amount of Epics/Legendaries, and few of them are versatile enough to be auto-includes in all decks. Meaning you either focus on building a deck up... or play Zoo forever.
And no one wants to play Zoo forever.

Nah man. You play arena for a while to get new cards. If you're grinding constructed to build a deck, imho you're taking the long route. I know because I did that for like a month before realizing how much faster arena is. And I don't like arena, so it was rough for me personally. Not because it is hard though. I did learn to like it after like a month of playing 1 or 2 every other day lol
I'm sad that most good control decks include Ragnaros, Slyvannas, etc. and I'm sitting here with only Naxx legendaries, Bloodmage Thanos, and Gruul. :/
Well when I kill two sunwalkers only to be greeted by a tirion on the next turn it feels like black knight is pretty damn necessary. I'd definitely drop my bgh or a drake for one.
edit: Also I don't remember ever having fun in arena so it just seems like a waste of 50g to me.

Wow, I get to play the same botter 3 times now... at least I have beaten him every time... his zoo deck runs frostwolf warlord wtf.
Casual is weird. I need to practice hunter vs good decks.

Even Arena is a chore. I'd rather just buy Cairne for $3 rather than play Arena for 20 hours for it.

It doesn't take that long. If legendary cards took that long to earn I wouldn't have half or a third of the legendary cards I have.

In a time/gold/real money/legendary per pack ratio, a legendary is worth a lot more than $3

I think he just wants the option to buy it second hand or direct from store. They'd never allow that though.
edit:
Heh bought a few packs and unlocked the legendary murloc card. Only needed the epic, I DE'd him a few times in the past lol

So apparently this guy I'm facing has managed to glitch the turn timer to where he has an infinite amount of time. Been sitting here for about 5 minutes now, nothing happening except his card hovering above the board and Gul'dan spouting "so many possibilities" every 10 seconds . Not sure if it was intentional or not since he was going to lose next turn but it's pretty damn annoying either way.
Edit: Relaunching the game just put me back to the main menu. Strange stuff. Never had that happen to me.

The worst part about the game is that Arena is the only fast way to earn gold and cards. There needs to be an alternative to that shit.

Yes and yes.
I think perhaps the gimmicks can be removed to make it more solid though. Even using one deathrattle and resurrect on Al'Akir the Windlord can be a huge play.
Yeah something would be nice especially because I don't like Arena that much.

Won on turn 5 last night with my Hunter deck...My scavenging hyena was 13/7. That doesn't happen too often...

What? It's great in a Paladin deck. It's an additional 2 heal and it synergizes with Tirion's weapon as well. Plus it's a free durability on Sword of Justice if nothing else. Any deck that runs 4+ weapons benefit a lot from it, I've never actually been forced to play it as a dead card.
Nah. Both decks are beatable and if you nerf the hero power, the class will just die since the class cards are so awful without it.

I'm starting to feel like control warrior is dead in this week's meta. I'll try again after death's bite comes out. I just do so much better with any of my other decks. I'll never get that golden portrait
Will see, they might not nerf the hero power but other shit need to be nerfed (soulfire/knife juggler).
I rather see the class die and become unplayable rather than play against zoo 90% of my games.
I see more ramp druids on EU ladder than I see zoo >_>

This is actually a known bug that occurs from time to time. It actually happened recently to me just like a day ago but quite different than normal. After I attacked into a minion, his life total went negative and my minion went to 0 but neither cleared from the board. I knew something weird happened so I restarted. I think I might have lost out on an attack with my other minion. I don't recall. I ended up reconnecting and winning though.
If you do reconnect within a minute, you should be fine though. It is like a server desync with client or something. Either way you need to try reconnecting as soon as you notice.
I think webspinner is insane even in constructed. I might have even underestimated it. Even when I got a silverback patriarch it still put in work. An additional 4 hp taunt at the right moment can in fact be very helpful, even when it costs 3 mana.
I also got another webspinner several times, that was quite hilarious actually. And I also got king krush at least twice, maybe 3 times last night.
I wish rogues got a 1 drop as good as webspinner. That would be heaven. I hate running argent squire. I'm not sure what would be nice for rogue to have as a 1 drop though. Maybe... 1/3 stealth minion, combo + 2 attack. I would love that lol
Same. I've been seeing more priest, warrior, hunter, and paladin than zoo as well. A couple shaman here and there. Zoo is still there, but not in numbers. I'm talking NA ranks 5-8.

You'll just play against rush hunter or rush paladin or whatever becomes the new cheap aggro deck that everyone plays.
If they nerf any card it's going to be Rivendare bc of those crazy combos.
One of the developers just said this week they do not plan on changing any cards going forward unless there's an emergency, so I highly doubt they nerf an entire class.
Not a chance in hell. It's the gateway class and decks to this game.
I'm well aware. I calculated earlier and it's in the neighborhood of $25-$50.
I'm saying no Legendary is actually worth $25, considering they have no resale value, unlike Magic cards, which can be recycled through the secondary market endlessly, and be used to earn monetary prizes.
Riverdare combos require insane setup.
Its like winning with the inner fire gimmicky combos.
Blizzard said recently in an interview that they are monitoring zoo closely.
Balancing Nax cards is easy for blizzard since they dont need to offer full value dust in disenchant.

i think we have a nerf zoo discussion on every page now?
if they do nerf it the devs are going to have to be very creative about how they go about it because zoo is just hyper-efficient at doing the thing the devs want the game to be about.
