I'd rather have a three hour mill rogue game than mech mage match #675788
People who just play normal decks because it "works" are way worse in my opinion. You are not actually playing for anything, so just mix it up.

Thursday is when things are going to start getting really annoying isn't it?
It's when we start seeing Blackwing Technician into Hungry Dragon. Fun.

It's kinda funny but once you build up a nice card collection, casual becomes more interesting to play since everyone on there is testing their experimental decks. Only deck I play on the ladder right now is mech mage.. Of course my mind right now is occupied on constructed so I only play ladder when I have a Mage daily
Oops I meant my mind is occupied on arena

If we weren't I certainly wouldn't have said it like that, and I definitely would've beeen thrown out of this thread
I'm just pulling your leg either way. I thought you were going for the heel angle with the whole "Face Huntr fo life, bitchz" so I was just calling you out
Eh, I have no problem testing my decks out on ladder. You won't find out if they are really good or not by testing in casual. Esp. when playing new players who are forced to play basic stuff. I'd rather just play ladder and figure out what works and what doesn't that way. I don't really care about my rank too much tho, because I never have enough time in a month (especially during the school year) to make the push to legend. Maybe this summer ill give it a shot heh.
I'm the same exact way, I only play Face Hunter on ladder and nothing else. So I only get to play it when I have a Hunter quest or cheap minion quest. That's why I don't play HS that much, because I'm not really interested without an active quest
For other class quests I only play them in Casual. And that's only with Agro Paly and Mech Mage. All other class quests I immediately delete

You play face hunter. You can't take things personally because you have no soul.
This could be true
for the posters who know me from the Marvel Heroes community OT, they all know I'm extremely insensitive and don't take anything seriously. I love when HS opponents do the emotes against me, even when I lose. I think they're hilarious
In fact one thing I find very curiously interesting is all the people here who say they get upset when people do the HS emotes at them... I mean cmon really?? lol those emotes aren't crap, there's not even real chat
if someone gets really upset just at these harmless fixed emotes, how would you react if this was a normal MP game with full unrestricted chat?

Just beat three Face Hunters (around Rank 10-8) in a row with a fast Paladin deck I threw together for a quest (based on Arena experience, uses Avenge, Mad Scientist, Shielded Minibots, Argent Protectors, Knife Jugglers, Creepers, 1 Coghammer, 1 Muster, Sun Clerics, Shredders, 1 each of DID/Argus/Mechano/Cult Master, Healbot, Loatheb & Dr. Boom). All three games were pretty stompy - I kept up over the first couple of turns then ran them over with minion pressure. I'm sure if they had insane starts it would lose control though.
yeah one thing's for sure, Face Hunter is not invincible like everyone here likes to say before
it's 50/50
Pretty sure no one has ever said Hunter is invincible, so you can just stop putting words in people's mouths.
I have a winning record vs face hunter and I still don't like seeing them. Boring, non interactive games that punish you for daring to draw your cards in the wrong order.
Grim Patron Warrior is actually pretty easy to read, makes it not to hard to face them as hunter.
I'm actually not a fan of dragon Paladin. I'm not even sure if it will be worth it once the new cards come out.
Edit: Just had a freeze/secret mage doing everything possible to not lose the turn leading upto popping ice block, and the turn after. Cycling cards frantically with acolyte/loot hoarder, played their mad scientist and killed it with a frost blast. Wasn't enough. I wonder what they were searching for.

When ever someone chats to me I reply with "Thank You", regardless of the situation
Makes 40% of players super mad for some reason
Ok, this is total BS from me. I actually emoted well played before I did the move because the odds of winning were so low and I was convinced I was going to lose. Yet every dagger hit a target I needed them to.
He has 12 HP I had to crew though, and I had only 13 total damage on hand, 4 of which was RNG directed.
Doing that math, it something like a 10% chance for me to win there.

By buying Dr Boom, you mean the card packs he is in right?
Sounds like the general consensus is Naxx so I'll probably end up picking that up sometime. I'm not new to Hearthstone, I just play very infrequently so I'm still a noob I guess yeah
The addiction is indeed real that's why I tend to stay away hehe.

Good ole face hunter. I lost by 1 turn after he drew both huffers sigh...
2 of my last 3 legendaries were Jaraxxus and Mal'Ganis, so I don't have much choice really
wait for HS/BNet don't you need to specifically be Friends to even chat??
*high five* broski!

wanted to buy the solo adventures, but it said that I needed to unlock the other character classes in order to play. How do I do that?

Yeah that would be GvG cards. Basically buy/craft/steal/beg until you get a Dr Boom, then worry about the rest.
I crafted a Velen and a Malygos, because, fuck it. It's fun.
Fucking OTK Priest is fucking hilarious.
This rival mirror priest thought he had me good, and left a harmless looking Soulpriest on the board with his 23 health. I had 6. Next turn, I dropped a Thaurissan'd Velen for 6 mana, let loose with two 1-mana Mind Blasts for 20 damage, and nuked his face with the Soulpriest-ed hero power for 4.
That match alone was worth 1600 dust.

Going to be even more after Thursday.
Meta should be pretty crazy after Thursday. All of the new cards are going into decks pretty much right away. Dragon decks are getting a lot stronger, aggro warrior is getting a new tool, demon lock is getting a buff and even Shaman is getting what looks to be a very good card.
I am excited.
I am excited.
There are like 4 different Warlock decks you have to worry about online now.
*Combo Warlock deck. It's the one that abused Emperor Balanced to do like 30 damage off of Arcane Golem and double Faceless.
*Zoolock. Basically the same shit we have been playing for a year only now with annoying crap like Imp Gang Boss and Imp Implosion.
*Demonlock. Nerubian Eggs, Void Caller, Malganis, Mistress of Pain. Similar to Handlock just a bit more aggressive.
*Classic Handlock. It's basically classic Handlock just with Malganis and Emperor Balanced. A shit ton of big threats.
With that new Demonwrath card you will be seeing more of Warlock especially in Demonlock.

While I think Velen isn't always practical, I agree he's a blast to play around with. Same with Malygos, although I usually throw him in Shaman or Mage decks.

Hungry Dragon honestly scares the hell out of me. It seems like it's going to be a horrible pain to deal with.
I GREET YOU.

Isn't that good? It means less mages playing mech mage.
Mech mage was predictable. Now I don't know what the hell I'm playing. Seriously, every single mage I've played in the last month has been different, and it's annoying not knowing what I'm up against.
The only thing they have in common is that when I have a board full of grim patrons they have flamestrike.
Problem is it's a mediocre 4-drop at best and has negative synergy with consort.
No kidding. Throw that luck my way please.
How is it mediocre? Most of the time it comes out as a 4/6, sometimes even bigger.
Most of the time it comes out as 1 attack damage less than Hungry Dragon without giving them a minion. Against Face Hunters, Hungry Dragon can lose you the game if it spawns a 3/2 or a Leper Gnome but it's much better dropping down a Drake.
The "negative synergy" is trumped by getting a Drake for 2 mana if you even choose to do that. In my experience that 2 mana cost reduction is used for something bigger though and Drake is usually played BEFORE a Consort is.
Now obviously Drake is worse than a Shredder but you can't really put in Shredders in a dragon drake otherwise you start running out of dragons to activate your other cards. However, I would still argue that Drake is better than Hungry Dragon. Once people play around with the card they will realize it, it's not as OP as some people are thinking it will be. I do see some potential with using Hungry Dragon with MCT but that's yet another card you need to put in your dragon deck when it's already hard finding spots for the various dragon theme cards in a Paladin deck.
Slipped into the teens on Rank mode and the competition is a lot more harsh!
I'm still learning all the cards, but Legendaries are becoming a lot more common. I'm not complaining, a lot of fun looking decks out there!
For Blood Mage Thalos, do you generally want to take him out fairly soon? He's +1 SD while on the table, but killing him gives the opponent another card. :/
Still seeing a variety of decks, but the number of warlocks is growing. I still haven't figured out the best way to tackle them - go for early damage on the Lock to reduce number of draws he can make - or try to control the board while he replenishes his hand... Nerubian Egg is such a ball buster....lol
SEEMS like Druid / Rogue, who originally had the advantage of a hero ability that lets them trade life for board control, are weaker now because of the plethora of cheap, high-powered creatures. I wonder how the Blizzard team will deal with that going into the future.
