Uh huh. Maybe it's just down on iOS or something, been down all day for me.
Maybe you're missing the latest patch? Go check and manually update on the store page if so.

Hmmm, I kinda feel like playing a low dust deck on EU tonight. The only question is... do I go for hunter or for paladin. I guess hunter would be more competitive but paladin could be quite nice as well. Maybe I'll do hunter cause I have been playing paladin quite a lot on NA, and I do have 2x highmane already and can go for a midrange hunter deck.

Played against my first fatigue build. What a lame way to play this game. Seriously, you need to have a mental deficiency enjoying games that last 30 minutes so you can slither to a win. Just so, so lame. And yes, i did lose, but only because early on, he activated a bunch of draw cards and the only one I actually lost was Grommash. other wise he would've been dead turn 8. Real gross.
I'm actually not all that enthusiastic about a new adventure right now. Naxx felt like too little for that amount of gold, and the game feels like it's in really good spot right now. I wonder if I should just start saving slowly now to avoid 6-8 weeks of no packs/arena. I can't really avoid it as they'll include the next OP-and-needs-a-nerf card in it. Right now it just feels like a gold sink.
I'd rather hear about a proper phone version, as I'd like to be able to start playing this at work during my lunch hour.

Aren't there work arounds for playing on phones? Nor is it just too glitchy?
There are, but you have to download new .apks for each update and my phone's not that beefy(HTC Desire). I haven't tried it because I'm pretty sure it couldn't handle something built for a 6in screen.
The only Legendary you need for Mid Range Hunter is Dr Balanced. Otherwise you just need Loatheb and all the usual crap for Hunters (2x Mad Scientist, 2x Freeze Trap, 2x Jugglers, 2x Belchers, 2x Kill Commands, 2x Eaglehorn, 2x Animal Companion, 2x Haunted Creeper, 2x Web Spinner, 2x Highmane, Owl, 1x Hunter's Mark, 2x Unleashed Hounds).
In the current meta you also probably want one Flare in there because there are lots of Mages and Hunters running around. Either Flare or Kezan Mystic.
About the new Adventure mode expansion... all I want is some reward for beating the heroes on Heroic. I beat all of the heroes on Heroic and got diddly squat for it.
Yes, if you have a newer android phone it runs great.

I decided to go with paladin anyway. Seems more compelling of a budget deck:
Based off the all basic deck I ran in December but updated with about 4 common gvg cards and 2 rares, plus 1 rare from the classic set.
edit:
Already noticed I made a mistake so when I fix it it will be:
-2chillwind yeti
+2 blessing of kings
edit fixed and swapped some:

Dr Boom. It's a sarcastic nickname because the card's OP.
Dr Doom
Dr Balanced
Dr Broken
Dr Bots
Dr Win
Dr BGH Target
etc.
It's all about Dr Boom.

Speaking of Dr. Boom, a surprisingly number of people play it when they're facing possible lethal.
I mean, I don't know what your other 4 cards are, but I'm sure they are better able to defend your face. I guess 90% of the time it's the best card to play when you have enough mana to play it.

That probably means they think their best chance to win is by taking a big risk by solely establishing board. You can't always play around what your opponent might do to beat you this turn, because you will likely find yourself in the same position next turn.
Dr. Boom can be a board clear. Sometimes a taunt or a healbot is more of a "die slower" card if they don't cleanly answer the board, so they take a chance that you don't have the damage in your hand. Taking a risk on a powerhouse play sometimes gives you a better chance of winning than being super-super safe. It's the difference between trying to catch up to your opponent and taking a risk to make a big swing.

Wow, almost lost my first game at rank 18 cause a mage UP'd an alakir lol... I still ended up winning by a large margin though.
This deck must be the best deck ever. I am 9-0, 100% win rate!
update:
Almost got scared about a divine spirit looking priest deck, but he ended up rage quiting for some reason lol

Fatigue decks are a tough matchup for control Warriors, assuming you are running the one that everyone runs. Other decks matchup better against fatigue.
To me playing a 20 minute match against a Warrior deck that is just one legendary after another plopped on the board is no more fun tbh.

I dunno wtf this control warrior whacko deck was thinking. He played iron juggernaut and then bounced it. Later he played it again and bounced it. It easily cost him the game. So far 11-0 rank 15 full stars.
I was gonna go til I got 3 losses, but this is taking way longer than expected.
edit:
First loss to some douche with double ice lance in his crappy burn mage deck.
edit2:
Holy fuck that last match was hilarious. I got a light well off shredder, then buffed it with blessing of kings... and for some reason the mage just refused to trade into it. It healed for the rest of the game, got buffed by ssc as well. While his pilotted shredder kept going for face, it kept healing me effectively reducing his damage output to 1 damage per turn. Then several turns later got a guardian of kings so basically this guy absolutely screwed himself.
Sometimes when people say aggro/face players are just bad at the game it isn't true... but this guy... takes that to a whole extra level.

That's not a control Warrior, that's a Fatigue Warrior deck that attempts to kill you with fatigue by using the Iron Juggernaut bombs.
I figured I would grind for Legend the last 3 days of Feb but today I realized that Feb only has 28 days! LMAO! Plus House of Cards new season comes out in a few hours which means less time to play some Hearthstone. I will settle with getting rank 5 this season.

All sorts of stuff can be annoying in the game, but it takes a certain kind of worm to want to break the game and spend 30 minutes on a match in order to win. Sorry, control Warrior doesn't even compare in irritation factor. Fatiguers are just lame.

Even if you consider it a fatigue warrior deck (I wouldn't but who knows), he should have abandoned that strategy against a paladin. Since when does a warrior out fatigue paladin... ever. I don't think I've ever lost a fatigue match against warrior. He could have used his 6/5 body to control the board, almost indefinitely. He would have won if he didn't play that way. Even if it is a fatigue warrior deck, that doesn't mean you can just ignore board control like that.

Holy shit, I just drafted a pally deck with Lay on Hands, Tirion, and Ysera o_o I've NEVER gotten Tirion and Ysera at the same time in arena.
I might need some help to not screw this up in getting 12 wins
Might see if Ratsmah wants to coach through or something

And then you never draw any of them, or die by turn 8

Well I think I made the curve decent enough. It's got plenty of healing with decent card draw, weapons. I don't have any shielded minibots or consecrates though.

Oh man Mana Wraith over what?
Otherwise that list looks pretty good. Only missing Consecrates.
If you drag out the games long enough you should easily win, so long as you're not facing priests with Mind Control.

^ The other choices weren't that good carbonated but I was thinking mana wraith might screw my opponents curve if dropped at the right time so I can buy time to get Tirion and Ysera out.
It will probably end up hurting me more than helping though

The funny thing about getting Legend this season is that it's February, so fewer days than a normal one. I guess that's a pretty good accomplishment.
And to everyone out there making the climb - I don't necessarily play every day either. I take days off and sometimes don't play for a week or more. Just had a solid deck against the current meta that allowed for a pretty ridiculous win rate for the last bit of the ladder. Actual time investment I don't know, probably less than 30 hours. So if you played 1 hour a day at a high enough win rate you could make legend by the end of each month. I probably watch streams as much or more than I play Hearthstone. I don't have any golden heroes or even level 60 ones yet. Besides playing other games.

String of terrible luck and I lost 700+ ranks. GG.
I guess that's what I get for playing decks that are more fun to play than necessarily competitive in the current meta. Paladin still probably strongest right now IMO vs. what I see, but it's terribly boring after the amount of games I had to play with it to reach legend.

yeah every legend player gets a unique legend number. the order is determined by everyone's hidden ranking number.
yeah this is one of the problems with the current legend system. since you can't fall out of legendary and getting into the top 100 is a ridiculous amount of work a lot of players just play fun or goofy decks.
i was watching alchemixt stream the other day and since he was around rank 1000 he started playing a hobgoblin zoo deck with wisps. he went on a crazy win streak and made it to the top 50.
There's significantly more, I'd say the number on one region is somewhere around 2000+ at the end of a season.

Seems pretty neat. If you manage to get top 16 in the amateur bracket you get an nvidia shield at the very least. Registration ends March 19th. Might be worth checking out.

Do you guys think Dr. Boom will get nerfed in the next month or so?
Hard to say when, but if there is a card to be nerfed it's him. I would hold on to any extras.
Based on the nerfing of Undertaker, I'd say about a month after the next expansion.

You get full dust value for disenchanting a card after it's been nerfed. For a legendary that's 1600 dust...

I would rank them in 3 tiers (no order within the tiers):
tier 1:
rogue*
mage*
paladin*
tier 2:
hunter
druid*
warlock
tier 3:
priest
shaman
warrior
*is what I prefer to play in arena.
That said, any class can build a really strong arena deck so I don't think the ranking is even that important. You just have to be good at drafting.
