Becoming good at arena is the best way. It will require a bit of studying and playing, though.

the best way is to just buy $100 worth of packs.
the cheapest way is to get good at arena since daily quest gold and constructed wins will only get you 1-2 packs a day.
People who take forever on their turns drive me crazy.
It's one thing if you're on turn 8 in the middle of a complex situation. Go ahead and take your time. If you're agonizing over what to play on turns 1, 2, 3, and 4, all the way up to the time limit, **** you.
Turning every match into 30 minutes is maddening.

My name is John irl
Just played a Warrior who used Brawl when I had 7 minions on the board (including Kel Thuzad). Luckily for me, KT was the one who survived. The first 2 minions that get re-summoned are Knife Jugglers, and the next 4 minions that get re-summoned proc the Jugglers to hit the Warrior enough times for lethal. That was fun!
Rofl. I think I would of thrown my ipad across the room if I was that warrior.

They have some unique rules going on. You can't use a deck more than twice in BO5 and more than three times in BO7. Leeroy and Starving Buzzard are banned.
Rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18y-GOCmQ60iIkNbYVqJC8rTIkNOIQP3GR8c8KE9wkrM/edit
Andrey (Reynad) is off to a bad start with this commentary. I think I remember him being alright with it back during IEM or something. Maybe just not prepared and needs some time to get going here.

commentary is actually really hard and takes a lot of practice and reynad doesn't get much of it.

Currently 5-0 in arena with this - probably my best ever drafted - deck.
So much card draw, excellent mana curve and really very valuable cards.
And oh my, that Al Akir + Reincarnate combo is amazing!

no hex or lighting storm but that's pretty sick overall

Lightning storm I don't need since I have plenty of 2/3 drops. The hex might come in handy at some point but so far my big tanky units are tough enough to deal with stuff.
Again, that al akir reincarnation combo is ridiculous. That thing does 12 damage in one turn and still survives.

Oh shit that's possible? How do they get your IP?

Yeah, I win those games with paladin hero power
Tough luck with kolento getting thoughtsteal as last card drawn from either deck. Funny that they each had several dead cards in the last couple cards.
My arena average is 0 to 2 wins. It's terrible. I went to 5 wins once with an hunter.
I'm sure I'm just not the best player yet.
With constructed, I can consistently get to Rank 17 or so now as a priest.
Still have lots to learn.
Also, I'm really fucking disappointed in the iPad 3's performance with games. This and FF VI should run fluidly and perfectly, and neither do. Framerate issues and chugging. Terrible.

I think it is alright. I bet it really hurts if your opponent has a single deck that is favored against all yours. Because in other formats you can better respond to that kind of inequity by beating it just once. In this format you have to beat it 2-3 times and there is no ban a class option.
Definitely. And I wouldn't want all tournaments to adopt this format. It's just a nice change of pace. I think the format where winner keeps their deck is more balanced but I find this one more entertaining. At least so far.

Yeah, at least it isn't all about picking counter decks each round. It might be better than the king of the hill type format in the end since you can't win the entire set with a single deck.
Im working but I was browsing the HS reddit an apparently there was a really good game today that went to fatigue. I missed it, but Im assuming thats the one you are talking about. I hope they put a VOD up.
Might be Blizzards fault. A game like Hearthstone shouldnt be very demanding at ALL. Its crazy how unoptimized WoW is though so...
I already had a standard Mukla. I debated keeping Harrison but Rag would have instantly made 3 of my decks better so I pulled the trigger.
I don't worry too much about the Meta. I typically just play enough HS to complete a quest/day pace. And I split evenly between casual/ranked/arena so I rarely get above 12-13 in the ranks. That low I typically see a good deck variety.
"That play was not acceptable *insert class here*."

yep! it was druid vs. priest. was pretty crazy
the ipad 3 is the first one with the high res display and it has performance issues. i think most things run better on the ipad 2.
I keep trying to tell people that mobile means higher cost for less performance. It's the laws of physics. It takes more energy to pack power into small computer chips. This will always be true, from now to the end of time.
Even stepping up to a laptop (or a Surface Pro) will lead to a major increase in performance at a better price. Most of them are just as mobile as the iPad, some of them are just as sleek, and all of them except netbooks will be more fully functional.

My galaxy s4 runs ff6 no problem. It'll probably run hearthstone no problem as well.
Sometimes I've noticed mobile devices having issues is somewhat user end because they don't flush out their RAM often enough or have too many apps taking up RAM in the background.

Always love that skill when Lightning Storm doesn't kill something.

Crazy ass game! Goddman I love this browser plugin that lets you see chat for the twitch VODs. Such a great little tool to see people spazzing out on this match lol.
thanks, was looking for it.

So tonight I decided to start an EU hearthstone account and I got three packs for free thru buying D3ROS CE and here are my 2nd and 3rd packs LOLOLOL
I'm not sure, everything was fine for the 3 arena games before and then I'm destroying this paladin and all of a sudden when I had board advantage and was going to finish him off it started to slow down on my turn. Next turn comes around I cannot even play a card, the next turn doesn't even come around as its lagging too badly. I end up not being able to play at all, tried everything I can think of to stop it, but it was too late. Lil fucker kept it up for awhile after it too. Made me sad.
I was playing on my iPad before the update.
Pretty much zero chance you were DDOSed.
A better question would be how is it greater than 0?
Probably Bnet shitting the bed or local packet loss.
Jeez what a waste of gold.

Yeah what a waste of gold . 9 legendaries, two which are golden, when the "average" would be 4 legendaries out of these 80 packs.
Gold would've been better spent om arena. I would've gotten more cards + AIDS. Worth

That many legendary cards from 80 packs is kinda nuts.... not even counting 2 were gold...

The thing is that if you had spent all of that gold on arena you would have just as much chance of getting those 9 legendaries but still have more gold and dust on top of that. Now you've locked yourself out of arena and can only play casual/ranked so you may regret it in the future.
I mean yeah I hate arena too but surely you aren't card starve enough to spend *all* your gold on packs, especially if Blizz introduces new card packs.

Like I said, arena is AIDS to me. It's worse than the fucking plague and I would rather chop my own dick off rather than spending one minute in that mode.
Do you see how worth it is to spend the gold directly on packs now? (For me, ofc)
